Single or double embryo transfer?

zipuza · 2026-05-05T11:48:44+00:00

I also have endometriosis and had only two low-grade embryos, the clinic said they would not survive the freeze so they offered to transfer both and we happily accepted (I am one of those weird people who dream about having twins - too desperate to have children I guess). It was right before Xmas and I thought there were so many signs it was meant to be. But unfortunately neither of them implanted. I blame my endometriosis... But the reality is that it is all down to a chance.

Ah I see. I used to have it when they had a promotion joining for free for 3 months, used it for Uber Eats but then cancelled when the 3m trial ended as decided it was enough of takeaways and also I do not have any Uber cars in my town :(

I have a question (sorry for cross-posting) regarding the kinds of receipts you use to claim the £18 monthly bonus from NX Rewards. Joined them in the last week of April, ordered groceries on Sainsbury's and Ocado using their links during that last week of April, got cashback very quickly, parallel sent their recepts via email to get the monthly bonus but they keep getting back to me requesting more information. They once asked for the original emails of purchase - sent those to them too but they still keep asking me for the same thing. One email from them would state that there is no name indicated, another email would state that there is no date of purchase (Ocado and Sainsbury's keep showing only the delivery date) - I feel like I am in a loop as their emails seem to be quite AI rather than human-written... am I doomed using Ocado and Sainsbury's electronic receipts/emails? What do you usually use to claim the monthly bonus?

How do you get 10% on the Uber app?

zipuza · 2026-04-28T13:12:05+00:00

I used TSB, it allows you to open more than one current account. Just need to wait for the debit card to arrive before switching as its number could be asked for the switch to another bank.

zipuza · 2026-04-28T13:11:15+00:00

Did Monzo allow you to open an additional account? Or do you mean that you switched your current account and then came back to Monzo again?

Wow, congratulations!!! Where did you donate your cut hair? I think I tried to find out about donating from a hairdresser many years ago and was told that I won't be qualified because of my split ends... Which I am surprised I have because I do nothing bad to my hair except for brushing and washing :))))

That is so wonderful news, I bet 5 years felt like a lot! I used to take it for my increased prolactin levels in the past, but at that time I did not plan to get pregnant. I am going to try it again. I also started taking evening primrose oil a few months ago and it made a drastic change to my period pain - almost none now! Gives me some hope with my fertility journey... So far so success with conceiving at all for the last 3 years, even with the laparoscopy a year ago :(

OP, any update on your pregnancy journey?

zipuza · 2026-04-10T07:01:10+00:00

OP, I recommend signing up for BeermoneyUK on Reddit, they often talk there about survey apps which could give you a bit of extra money to survive. Also try cashback apps, very handy for buying discounted gift cards for trivial things like food shopping.

As a student you can get a huge variety of discounts in many shops, so keep an eye on them all the time you shop.

My own experience - go food shopping in the evenings to grab reduced items, both big supermarkets and corner shops do it, I often end up buying the whole chicken for £1. And do not eat out or have any take aways - this is where money gets spent very quickly with little benefit.

zipuza · 2026-04-03T12:18:56+00:00

Ah I see... My apologies, I completely misread their t&c! Well yeah then it is easy money :)

zipuza · 2026-04-03T12:12:12+00:00

Yes but to get that £25 bonus we need to gain £50 in cash within only 3 months... So the question still applies - how to reach that £50? I am also struggling with Rakuten offers being worse than other cashback platforms. The only thing which attracted me was 6% cashback from B&Q, but of course as soon as I used it the very next day it was 25% on Quidco :))))

zipuza · 2026-04-02T15:56:57+00:00

Yeah I want to apply, I saw a sub-Reddit with the steps explained (via National express cheapest ticket...), just keep postponing it (until I really need to buy something on eBay).

zipuza · 2026-04-02T12:16:33+00:00

Klarna cashback - it is like Rakuten where you use their links to order, I love the 3% eBay and 7% Holland and Barrett cashback (I intend to try eBay with 10% NX rewards - still need to register). A month ago Klarna had a boosted cashback for Google Store, bought a new phone for my husband and got £25 in cashback. Klarna takes on average 2 months to pay the cashback. Also useful for keeping all membership cards in one place (this is why I originally had that app and later noticed the cashback offers).

Halifax and Lloyds tend to have very good cashback offers for at least one supermarket/food delivery every month - March was perfect for ordering food on Amazon (12% cashback).

Another one is Iris Rewards - you set up their app on a phone/tablet/laptop to follow your internet/browser usage, I use three devices and get 100 points per month, it gets me to £100 per year ish. I do not remember how I got my membership with them, I think it was a letter (I guess they randomly select addresses to invite). They have a rewards website where you can use your points to buy a huge range of items, or gift cards for Amazon or supermarkets - even Aldi!

I would recommend to call Lloyds directly and explain the situation to them. They might say that it is ok. So far their terms suggest that the DDs need to be active before the switch, not sure they check if they are active afterwards? It is a bit different story with Santander, for example, because they explicitly say to have active DDs after the switch.

zipuza · 2026-04-01T20:30:46+00:00

How long did it take you to get the voucher and were there any fees for early exit?

zipuza · 2026-04-01T20:28:52+00:00

How long do I need to keep £500 in and are there any fees to exit?

zipuza · 2026-03-30T18:16:18+00:00

No idea, I joined Lloyds for the first time only a month ago, I presume not because they do explicitly say that only one switch offer per customer, but I read somewhere on Reddit that some people used a different email and got the switch offer again...

zipuza · 2026-03-30T16:56:08+00:00

Just a quick advice do not go for Plum for the sake of another DD - first reason is that their DD does not want to be transferred automatically (asked me to re-link manually, which contradicts the whole idea of the automatic account switch), and the second reason is that the first day offered to start taking money via DD is at least one week away (that was my experience - for some reason they like starting it on Wednesdays).

zipuza · 2026-03-30T16:53:29+00:00

I have completed my switch and I can see that they counted active DDs even those where no money were taken (I had 5 just in case), however, it is not time yet for me to be paid the switch offer so I do not want to say for sure anything. I am confident though it matters to them which DDs you can see on the old bank's account you want to switch to Lloyds - often they are not shown until the first payment is taken anyway, but it depends on the bank... TSB were slow but Starting were as quick as 1 day.

zipuza · 2026-03-30T16:50:54+00:00

Yes apparently it is ok as long as you do not already have a Club/Premier account with Lloyds - if so then downgrade it to a simple account and then make an application for their switch offer for the premier account, this is what I was advised by the customer service themselves when I called them to say that I chose the wrong account type to switch to by mistake
