Staying positive and distracted until pregnancy test

[Anwencarys]

Hi gang,

I havent wrote on here since starting my ivf journey. But what I can say is my husband and I have been celebrating every little win. For example I'm a total needlephobe. So stimulation was hard at first. But it did the job, as when I had my ultrasound I had 14 juicy follicles. Tick.

The egg retrieval was hard as I didn't have my husband to support me due to covid. But I got through it, the sedation helped. Then we were told 10 eggs were taken. I was happy, but then you start thinking, hope the quality is good. We had traditional ivf as my husbands sperm sample was good. ( one sperm sample showed some miss shaping before) Celebrated with a takeaway that night Tick.

Then another restless night, asking my husband not to be too disappointed in me if they didn't fertilised. Well 5 did, amazing! Tick

So it was a case to distract myself until we were told if any of the embryos would make that blastocyst stage. We had taken time off from work, so a lot of walking and playing games.

Sunday we were told we had 1 high grade blastocyst to be transferred back in. Thank God we have 1 and hopefully that's all we will need. The egg transfer was fine in and out in 45mins in total. The strangest thing was during the procedure my husband and I's wedding first dance song came on. I was taking that as a sign A BIG POSITIVE SIGN 🥰 Tick

Now the waiting game, everything has gone so well. I've been very lucky I havent had too many side effects. I've had a little of the bloating, cramps and breast tenderness. But I get those things in my cycle anyway.

I'm lured into this sense that we are going to be successful. But one step at a time and keep on what I've been doing.

Fingers crossed x
