Hi Nadia, Happy belated birthday.

I started injecting on Sunday, for our first IVF cycle. How are you getting on so far?

BWs, Nicole

Hi, I’m hoping to transfer tomorrow if any embryos make it through. Started my injections today - very last minute as progesterone levels were too low on pessaries.

I’m so fed up of this whole process but trying to stay positive!

Re: January 2024

Hi guys,

I had my first scan yesterday - my follicles are looking great but not quite there yet! The nurse will be calling tomorrow to confirm and then I will go for egg collection this Friday - @nadiapop2 which clinic are you at?

If I don't speak to you before, I hope it all goes well on Friday.

BWs

Re: January 2024

Thanks Sarah! I am excited but i think partly because I want it to be over with. Goodluck with your stims! If i had one advice for it, just take a deep breath and dont get mixed with the medications. I almost made the mistake but realized before i press the plunger!

Hi, we had a transfer last Wednesday. Had 8 eggs, 7 thawed, 3 fertilized and 2 made it. One transferred and one frozen.

Testing next weekend - I found it was a lot easier to wait when we didn’t have pregnancy tests in the house so the husband has hidden them for now.

Yes, I had my scan followed by some bloods - I had a lot of follicles but they weren't quite ready hence I missed collection for today and they moved me to Friday. I think the bloods are looking for signs of OHSS, I maybe wrong though? Did they take some bloods from you? xx

Re: January 2024

Oh possibly! What is your issue if you dont mind me asking. The nurse used to say because i have low amh my chance of getting ohss is low. Maybe thats why they didnt take blood off me?? Im not sure xx are you nervous for friday?? :)

I don't have any fertility issues, we are a same sex couple which is why we need the help of a fertility clinic. My AMH levels were normal but I presume they checked my bloods because they have kept me on stims for longer than originally planned due to my follicles needing a little longer.

Have you been through egg collection before? I am so nervous, because I don't know what to expect x

No! This will be my first too! Really hope all goes well. Still waiting for the call from the nurse.

Keeping you in my prayers xx
