Egg transfer

[Lucy26]

So I've been to Debenhams shopping this morning for a nighty as I didn't even own one - all ready for Egg Transfer tomorrow.... am I the only one that worries about what I look like during these degrading times lol!!! I know I shouldn't worry but So embarrassing these appointments!!! 🙈

[Hidden]

I always buy nice clothes for appointments too! Ive just ordered a dress from debenhams this morning! I brought it for my appointment with a gynae about my cyst and fibroid which needs sorting before I can proceed with ivf . And as for the indignities I agree it is not nice and I get embarrassed too. I think that's why I get new clothes coz I feel if I look good maybe I'll feel good?!! Anyway it's great excuse to buy new clothes Good luck for your transfer I hope it goes well and isn't too embarrassing X

Ha I love it!! So glad im not alone!!! I have to paint my nails, do my eyebrows, shave my legs buy new knickers, can't been seen wearing the same top ha ha!! Not because I love showing off or love myself but I dis-like my body so much I always think this way they will think about my clothes or nails rather than the rude bits they have to see or my horrible belly ha ha!!! It's so dignified really because the staff are amazing at my clinic but that's not the point ha ha!!! Anyway this is so much worse than egg collection because I was asleep for that lol!! the egg collection was the easy bit!! The stirrups worry me!! I mean seriously lol!!! Is this going to be your first round of Ivf? How exciting x x x

Personally I found the embryo implant easier than the egg collection and I just loved having my partner in the room with me, he had to wear scrubs lol. The nurse made sure I was covered up as much as possible ha ha x x

I'm exactly the same! Glad I'm not the only one

Yes Hun it will be when I eventually start.! Was due to start last month but coz of intermestrual bleeding and investigations being run by my doctor which led to the discovery of my cyst and submuscol fibroid had to put ivf on hold which was pretty tough But good it's been found before going ahead and having a failed ivf would be heartbreaking. Seeing my doctor Friday to get refered to a nhs gynae clinic gonna take time but hopefully it'll help our chances at conceiving naturally or ivf don't mind how

How about you is this your 1st ivf cycle? I hope it's successful for you X

I figure they've seen it all before!

The modesty paper towel makes me laugh, when I said to the nurse that it's pointless she said it's there to make her feel better and it's the protocol. They even put the bit of paper towel over you for egg transfer and then have to move it out of the way so the only people who can't see your bits are you and the other half!

Good luck with egg transfer. How many embryos are being transferred?

LOL... What are you like! :-))) I just wore pyjamas (xmas ones pmsl)... My embryo implant was over and done with in 10-15 minutes, it wasn't uncomfortable or painful at all and I was completely distracted as we got to watch the ultrasound screen and see the embryos being put in place. Amazing! I was in the operating theatre covered in green hospital sheets so nobody even saw my xmas pjs lol

[Hidden]

I used to be afraid. But however I had so many tests before Ivf could start that by the time I got to the clinic I did not care anymore. They have seen it all before. And when your prodded and poked so much it doesn't matter. I always found focusing on the hopefull outcome helped. Xx

[Lucy26]

Oh pjs! I didn't know we could take pjs she said a nighty so I assumed that was because they need the trouser part off??? Maybe I could take pjs because I don't find nighties attractive at all lol!!! I've got endometriosis and has a baby, smears & so I should also be use to these invasive appointments but I just can't get use to it lol! can my husband come in with me tomorrow does any one else know? I'm gettig really nervous as I don't even know what the quality of bryos will be until I get there or what grading I should expect? can anyone help please? Hope everyone's doing ok on their journey I often think of you all & everyone's a fantastic support on here!!! 😘 x x

Your husband should be allowed in with you.

I am due to start our next and last ever cycle at the end of this month. and im really struggling. I have been having a lot of headaches recently. From stress most likely. so so worried about what's going to happen. Lots of love. X x

[Lucy26 in reply to Hidden]

Ah Hun, I feel for you, are you having Ivf or icsi? How many goes have you had? Thinking of you lots of love back x x x

[Hidden in reply to Lucy26]

Thank you. We have done 6 transfer attempts. The last one ending in miscarriage. Icsi we have had to have throughout. We have only one embryo left to use. Lots of love. Xx

[noodles_ in reply to Lucy26]

Yeah of course you can wear pj's, but the bottoms come off just before the procedure and then they cover you in they green clinic sheets. My partner was allowed in with me today so I think that's pretty standard for the embryo transfer part of the process. He had to put the hospital scrubs and clogs on lol. Don't be nervous, this was the best part of the whole process in my opinion. This is what all the hard work has been for The embryologist came and spoke to us before the procedure and told us the grade of the embryos and showed us pictures of their progress from Fri and then she offered me the option of having 2 embryos transferred. I'm still on cloud 9 tonight x x
