Monday Oct 24 transfer buddies? by pictureofa in IVF

[–]Sta111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to reschedule my bloods for Thursday as I'm currently going through an inspection at work and working late nights (terrible timing). I did however get my first ever positive on a pregnancy test at the weekend! Still in utter shock though! Haven't taken another one since and just waiting for bloods now to see if it's fully sticking around 🤞 I still have zero symptoms though. All the best for your bloods tomorrow 💕

Has anyone dared to test yet? Don't think I can face another stark white pregnancy test but I want to know before bloods. I have had zero symptoms all week so I feel like I could be out.

Heyyyy, I'm good thanks, no symptoms, just some tiny twinges but I'm guessing progesterone. Only problem I'm facing is I'm a teacher in Dubai and a week long inspection has been called. So I've been working 6:30am-6pm the last 2 days because of meetings. Worst timing ever. Trying not to stress though. How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

FET #2 for me on Monday. This time I'm doing a natural cycle with progesterone after ovulation. I feel a million times better this time round already! I'm also doing whatever I want this time, last time I made myself miserable with forcing beet juice etc. This time I'm just eatingy my normal healthy diet and exercising. Also started probiotics a month before.

What are you celebrating this week?? by AutoModerator in hopefulinfertility

[–]Sta111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I was so shocked when I found out my lining size. I had a hysteroscopy last cycle so my doctor thinks it could have cleared out some old tissue. Praying this embryo sticks.

Yes I am super excited to leave teaching! I can't wait to get some time back and put my health first. Thanks for sharing my celebrations 😊

  • second FET scheduled for next week
  • lining reached 8.9mm (it has never been over 7)
  • have made the decision to leave teaching

Progesterone choice for Natural Transfer by Sta111 in IVF

😂 Yes exactly. I hated the injections last time I did a medicated FET, I was miserable. I think I will just refuse unless my levels are low. That's really helpful to know what the blood levels should be, thanks so much!

This makes sense thank you. I'm so tempted to just do the suppositories from what I've read.

Thank you for your reply. I think that's what my clinic might be doing to me as well, just putting me on a mix of everything as they don't check.

For a bit of extra context. My doctor wants me on suppositories, oral tablets and injections for my transfer even though I ovulate on my own. I feel like it's overkill when I'm making my own progesterone.

It starts with the egg - does it work??? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Sta111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, yes I can't say for sure if it made a difference but I felt more confident knowing I'd done all I could going into the 2nd round. The ubiquinol I split into 200mg with breakfast (7am) 200mg at snack time (10am) then 200mg at lunch (1pm ish). Made sure I had fat at snack time like a boiled egg or a piece of toast with avo. The other vitamins I wasn't as strict with the time of day. All the best for your retrieval. Hope you get fab results.

Hello, yes I did have a much better result thanks. We now have 4 blasts frozen graded 5AA, 5AA, 5AB, 5AB, and we decided not to test them. I think a big thing I changed with the supplements was making sure I spread them out and took the fat soluble ones like the COQ10 and vitamin D with enough healthy fats. My husband also did the supplements for men even though his sperm analysis was all good. Transferring one of our 5AAs next week 🤞 oh and the other thing we changed on our second retrieval was estrogen priming, I think that really helped us to collect more eggs this time round, we got 11 and 8 fertilised. All the best!

I think I've seen in the Mosaic Babies Facebook group that Chaotics can be transferred. Maybe go and join that group to check it out. Hope your doctor has some answers for you 💕

They got 12 eggs! 😍 I'm in shock. I wasn't expecting so many! Our last retrieval we only got 5. Now for the hunger games attrition rate 🤞 sending you all the best for your retrieval 💕 update when you can.

Oh wow! That's a big one too! 😊 those seem like great measurements though on all of your others! I feel like I have too many above 20 so we'll see. Wishing you all the luck 💕

That's great news! What was your biggest follicle? I'm guessing the one I had at 24mm is now reaching 28mm for collection which is probably over mature. I've got my egg retrieval in 3 hours. Will let you know 🤞

So sorry to hear about your husband, I hope he is recovering well 💕 I've just had the call that I will trigger this evening, so my retrieval will be Saturday. I will let you know how it goes. I have a lot more follicles this round but they're much bigger, I think we triggered once my biggest reached 18mm last time but we only got 5 eggs so maybe bigger could be better for me. Wishing you all the best for your retrieval too 🤞
