9th go of ivf

[vonny27]

Well today I've had my egg collection and I've 20 eggs in total I'm just hoping I get a few to freeze if this go ends up a negative. I'm nervous about the two week wait as I find it very stressful. I'm just wanting some advice on what to do to occupy my mind. Thanks ☺

hiya. wow that's lots. wishing you good luck. i've found reading, going on short walks and watching films has helped pass the time.

Oh I'm not hun I've crumbled so many times but ive just got to get on with it as if I break dwn again I'm not sure I'll recover. I'm just hoping this time is last I'm getting older and Im mentally and physically drained from it all throughout the years. Thanks

No it sounds silly but have you thought about getting a dog. I've had mine two years now and his helped take my mind of this horrible situation I no its not a child but it helps and you wouldn't believe how much joy he brings. Hope my suggestion don't afend you x

I back up canonlyhope with the dog idea. Ever since getting our puppy. He has helped no end. Really and truly. Love him loads. Gives us so much joy. Might be an idea ️Xxx

Hi vonny27, I read the other day that day 3/4 after ET are the most important (but who knows) I would suggest a massage, swimming & acupuncture. I'm personally planning to have a massage day 3 after transfer as I love them but I need to check which oils are used as certain ones should definately not be used! it sounds daft but I would suggest trying to get excited & think of yourself as pregnant, I'm sure u have before now & now it's more like torture but positive thoughts & mentally trying to convince your body its pregnant will hopefully make it want to be & grab hold & not let go of your little bean. Wishing u all the luck in the world xx

[vonny27]

Thanks guys for all your advice as for the dog me and my hubby work long hours it wouldn't be fair to leave it at home. Yeah I may try acupuncture it's the only thing I've not tried. I'll keep you all posted X

Vonny27, I've not experienced a 2ww (yet!) but imagine I would find it really difficult! I have tried acupuncture and see a lady who specialises in fertility. I find it really relaxing. I also find reading really helps loads and I did a tai chi class a couple of weeks ago that was good (if you can do that during the 2ww!)

Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment x

Hi, wishing you lots of luck and really hope it works out this time for you! I started ivf when I was 27 and I'm now 33 and got my little miracle at last she'll be 13 weeks on Wednesday she's just perfect. Many times I thought of giving up as it is very hard mentally, physically and emotionally but so glad I never. It was my 11th go that worked for me had 8 frozen and 3 fresh transfers, I kept getting pregnant but miscarrying with no answers. This is a combination of what I did on my last cycle got signed off work until 12 weeks I believe stress was not good for me I always bled the day I went back to work! was put on 75mg aspirin and fragmin injections, I was only meant to take the vaginal gel for 2 weeks after transfer but I had leftover pessaries which I used for an extra 2 weeks for extra support. I ate brazil nuts and drank pineapple juice for the first week after transfer meant to help with implantation. And just had lots of chilled lazy days hope you can maybe take something from this and I genuinely hope it works for you this time as I know how hard it is you truly deserve it xx

[vonny27]

Babsy123 thanks for your advice I'm going to try the juice and nuts I'd give anything to help it work. Wow 11 goes there is still hope for me thank u so much. Thanks to everyone who's gave me advice it's help having this site cheers X

I agree with the 'don't give up'. I got my daughter on our 16th transfer (12 fresh, 4 FET). I used to spend 2wws planning the next cycle and investigating what to do differently/reading research papers. Maybe I'm odd like that though! Good luck. x

[vonny27]

Cielo34 there is nothing wrong with u I've found myself doing the same. I'm always stressing thinking why not me all my friends family have children and i cant conect with em. I'm nearly 40 my clock is ticking I'm just praying this is my time X
