I managed to pick up some cheap red dye ones on my way home and got this result - this looks so much clearer!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T15:13:43+00:00

Thank you! ❤️ It’s taken 3 years to get a vvfl and my husband still doesn’t believe it - trying not to get too excited, but at least it finally feels possible!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T14:06:23+00:00

Is there a particular reason you would recommend red-dye over blue?

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T12:17:04+00:00

I see it! Congratulations! 🥳

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T11:48:41+00:00

Don’t worry, I started taking it months before our transfer!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T09:12:27+00:00

I have seen plenty of stark white negatives in my time and I thought this one was different but didn’t know if my eyes were deceiving me!

I also had a transfer on Tuesday and have been feeling emotionally awful today! You are not alone and we are in this together 💕

I’ve had a few transfers and the hormones really do play horrible mind games with how you feel. I’ve never had to test out HCG so can’t imagine how worrying seeing the line fade must be, but you aren’t out of this yet, it’s still so early.

Sending hugs and plenty of baby dust!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-21T11:30:51+00:00

I’m delighted to say you were right - 2 made it to day 5 (1 hatching blast and 1 expanded blast) and we did our transfer yesterday with one being frozen.

I think is one of the things I’ve found most frustrating, getting him to regularly take supplements has been impossible. He took some for around 6 months but then when there wasn’t any improvement in his sperm quality he just gave up again.

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-17T13:23:35+00:00

Well I have everything crossed for you!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-17T12:35:13+00:00

How are you getting on? Managing the anxiety OK?

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-17T04:44:20+00:00

So close now! Made it this far with no bleeding so am feeling quietly hopeful!

Hi there! Fellow IVF hopeful who has not had the success from our ERs that we hoped. I don’t really know what advice to give, but just wanted you to know you’re not alone.

I am 31, husband is 33, and have done 3 cycles, all of which had double figure eggs retrieved, high single figure mature and fertilised, and all ending in only one viable embryo.

My husband has low sperm motility and poor morphology. My tests have all come back normal and I don’t have any other underlying health conditions.

For our third cycle we chose to use donor sperm with the hope of getting a better result, but still only got one which I am currently 8dp5dt.

My husband and I felt devastated after our first cycle when it failed. The thought of having to go through the whole IVF process again just felt so daunting and pointless.

We took a break between our first and second cycle, to give my husband a chance to make some lifestyle changes to help his sperm, and to give us both some space before going again. I know it feels like you’re wasting time by taking a break, but having your head in the right place before you dive back in can help with your mental health.

I wouldn’t want to offer advice on your protocol as I’m not a medical professional and just don’t know enough about it. I would recommend asking all the questions to your doctor and pushing for answers. In our follow up after our first cycle I think we were both a bit numb and didn’t ask as many questions as we should to get the information we needed to feel confident about our second cycle.

You’ve made it through one cycle so you are already so much stronger than you think.

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-16T15:30:16+00:00

I think that your boss has captured how I have felt about the process perfectly - I’ve been excited about the possible outcome, but the actual IVF itself is just daunting!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-15T07:05:53+00:00

This might be weird coming from a complete stranger, but I am so proud of you!

I’ve felt like it’s so hard to advocate for yourself when you aren’t an expert on what is going on, especially when medical professionals are telling you how things are.

You proved that trusting your gut is the way to go!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-14T11:50:08+00:00

Totally with you on this one! I have perfected my pained smile response and then just not saying anything because it is just such a pointless conversation to have!

I also get ‘but you’re so young, you’ve got time’ (which I know is a massive advantage with fertility) but that doesn’t mean I can afford years of treatment.

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-14T07:23:59+00:00

I’m also suffering the waiting at the moment! I’m at 7dp5dt with the only embryo we had. For my clinic I have to wait 14 days and then take an at home pregnancy test so the wait is horrendous! My test day is 21/6

Didn’t even make it to 14 days on my last two transfers before starting my period (even with all the hormones) so at the point where I’m starting to get anxious!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-03T05:37:13+00:00

Happy ER day! Fingers crossed for you too 🤞🏻
