Thanks girls glad to hear all is well!ive just started a new job so feel bad taking the 2 days off but it is what it is! good luck for the wait xx
Fab Gyte, mine went well too. Feel a bit queasy now but hoping it will pass soon. Weird to be in forced relaxation.
Good luck for tomorrow violetrose.
Fifs maybe you was next to me
in recovery room
Whats happens if you start your nasal spray monday and was meant to have your period on friday but its 4days late they said if it didnt come by tomorrow to fone them does it mean id have to come off the spray or what happens did this happen anyone? The first time i was later was last month cos i had reflexology and it left me two days late.
Aslong as it comes before you start the Injections I don't think they worry to much about it mines was late aswell it came the day before I had to phone and alot of people on here were late with theirs aswell, try not to worry about it to much and it should come x
Mine only came the day I was due to phone, and very light.
OK thanks guys fingers crossed it comes tonight or early tomorrow

Hey girls . My from 8 fertilize 5 . Have to call them back on Friday to see how its go . Probably gonna be plan put them back on Sunday.
Thanks Mrs2017! I hope so. So hard not to think the worst. Preparing myself just in case!
Good news Gyte!
Good luck Fifs! X
All the best pup18! Good luck for next few days gyte and fifs! Egg collection went ok but still feeling v woozy!forced bed rest does seem strange feeling slowing down!dreaded phone call tomo!x
Good luck Violetrose! You have done everything you can!
Pup cramps could be implantation so think positive. I don't have any symptoms that I am aware of because I've had OHSS so hard to know xx
Thanks for all the good wishes girls! I was back in work today (I'm at a desk all day) so was glad of the distraction. Hubby was frantically researching statistics!!
Great news for you Gyte, and good luck for your call tomo violetrose.
Violetrose good luck tomorrow
Fifs all the best for you...
Witch day is better for transfer 3 or 5 ?
Thanks Violetrose, hope you’re feeling ok and good luck for your call!
How are you feeling with the OHSS now Tansy? Did they give you any medication? Xx
I'm still a bit uncomfortable, and is keeping me awake Pup, but it's settling down. They didn't give me anything, I've just to contact them if it gets worse.
I am full of anxiety today - really hope this works! XX
Oh no, sorry to hear it’s still uncomfortable! Hope it eases up. Our poor bodies have been through so much!
I go through anxious moments too! Only 6 days until we’ll know either way, so hard isn’t it xx
9 fertilised so thankful for that. Husband sperm quality isn' great so had been worried if any would!very stiff lower back also today must be morphine wearing off!
Good luck to all phoning and testing over the weekend
Everyone seems to be moving in the right direction, good luck in your next steps!
I have my 1st scan tomorrow to see how follicles are progressing and I’m almost sick with worry. Last ivf attempt they only got 1 egg out so I’m terrified I’m not responding again. Did anyone ‘feel’ anything prior to this first scan? I’m finding it difficult to remember!!
Pup, I have low down cramps that I usually get a few days before my period starts so that's not helping my anxiety.
I hope you're feeling ok and keeping busy xx
I’m feeling like just before my period too! I’m trying not to read into it too much. Think being at work has helped me think about something else while I’m there. My biggest issue is the nasty progesterone pessaries! I’m finding as the days go on (sorry to be graphic) I’m feeling then leaking more down below. I woke up a few times in the night thinking I’d started bleeding and had to get under the duvet with my phone torch to check!! Hopefully we’ll be able to laugh at all this one day!! Xx
Violetrose that's fantastic news, hopefully will put your mind at ease until et.
Pup, sure if we didn't laugh...glad to hear we have all that to look forward to!
Pup I had a wee chuckle there at you under the covers with your torch. I know exactly what you mean, I feel the same. My sister in law has been through the process and said that progrestone mimics period and pregnancy symptoms so I'm hoping that explains our cramps. I'm off to bed to read the Secret and be positive! Hope we feel better tomorrow xx
Glad I amused you
Good news violetrose!
Mewsbabes - good luck for your scan. I had pain and bloating but not everyone does. You’ll be fine!
Good luck for your call Gyte.
Tansy- we’re over half way through our wait! Only 5 sleeps to wait! Wondering why you can test after 9 days and I was told 11?! I’m still waiting until Wednesday though! Xx
I'm not sure Pup. I have to go into my clinic for a blood test and they will call me later on that day with it. Maybe a blood test picks it up earlier? I was surprised that it's Wednesday too. How you feeling today? xx
Is it maybe a day 3/ day 5 thing? Can't remember when you both got your transfers.
Wee embryos survived the 3 days, transfer done, and now we wait!
Ah mine is a urine test on Wednesday. I had a little peak, it’s different to what I’ve seen before. You have to put a few drops on a dish thing. Feeling ok but go through anxious phases where I’m convinced it’ll be negative.
Good news fifs. How many did you have transferred. Me and Tansy both had day 5 transfers xx
great news fifs..

Ready for ivf round 2
Thanks guys. Got the two in, as these one wasn't as good quality and wouldn't have made it through freezing. They don't think it will survive in any event but better in than out!
Tbh I had myself prepared for news that neither were suitable so it's all down to a waiting game now.
Fifs don't loose hope I only had 2 on day 3 and to be honest I cried at the tranfer and asked them if there was even any hope for me and am over 7 weeks now and seen my healthy baby with strong beating heart on Wednesday, it's up to the embryo weather it wants to develop in the boy or not regardless of the day it's tranfefed, everyone has the same chances xx
Thanks daisy, I'm definitely looking to you as my example!
Had to Google "pupo", dusky - love it!!!
Congratulations Fifs! Welcome to the 2ww! xx
Fifis I had a 3 day transfer and only 2 left so they transferred both I remember feeling down at the time fearing the worst but I'm now nearly 18 wks pregnant with twins so keep the faith xx
Hi all,
I had scan and they saw a decent amount of follicles however nurse said some were too big for this stage of stims and so will probably not contain viable eggs at EC. Bit disappointed with that but trying to remain positive.
Have been looking through my protocol, those at GCRM have you used ovitrelle for trigger? I also seem to be reading that I will have to use ovitrelle instead of progesterone pressaries if I’m lucky to have an ET?!?!! Has anyone here NOT used the pessaries but only had 1 injection post retrieval? I’m a bit confused! I suppose what that might also mean is that I can’t POAS to see if I’m pregnant before official test date?
Sorry ladies, I’m just a bit confused with it all, any advice very much appreciated.

Hey mews, sorry to hear that, but as long as there as dome still viable there's still hope. It only takes one! When are you due ec? Not sure about your other qs sorry.
Lauren it's great to hear a story so similar. They all give me such hope! Just trying to balance it with onsetvative realism, I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed!!
Hi Fifs,
Egg collection will most likely be the end of this week, I’m going to guess it’ll be Friday. There were approx 8 follicles in the ‘right range’ and a further 3 that were too big, lots of small ones too. Nurse did say that at my 2nd scan (tomorrow) that they’d probably see more follicles so will have a better idea of numbers then. I am hoping for at least 7 eggs.
mewsbabes im at gcrm and i know i have ovitrelle in my protocol but im only still down regulating so im afraid i cant be much help to you xx

Hi mewsbabes - I was with gcrm. Ovitrelle for trigger and ovitrelle again post et instead of progesterone pesseries. I did ask the nurse about it and why I didn’t need additional progesterone and she said it was enough progesterone to get me through to implantation (if it was going to happen )- after that the body / pregnancy will be like any other natural pregnancy and produce enough natural progesterone so no need for any additional. They (in gcrm) see the protocol with ovitrellle as mimicking a natural pregnancy cycle and don’t see the need for pesseries once the body is producing progesterone itself .
The ovitrelle injection you take post et is only a small dose so technically it will be out of your system before otd - just be careful not to test too early .i tested 9dp2dt and got my positive - ovitrelle was our of my system by then (2 days before otd) xx

I feel so silly asking this but I take my spray 8am and 8pm what should I do with the time change? Will it be ok to continue with same time as last spray was only 11hours ago?
Wananbeeee I varied my time by 30 mins tonight.
Thanks Mrsr2017, very helpful.
