I haven’t been on here in a while, it’s been a tough 6 months. We decided back in September to try our second ivf cycle however due to my mom having terminal cancer we held it off. She was only given weeks to live so we spent as much time as possible with her, we even got married so she could give me away. It was the most perfect day. Then in November, a month after our wedding she passed away. It’s been difficult and my family and I are really there for each other. I know that my mom wouldn’t have wanted me to put ivf off, and she’d be saying how silly I was,
so in February I decided I felt ready to start ivf again and I know my mom would be looking out for me. This cycle I felt so much more relaxed and positive as I knew what to expect so it wasn’t as scary. Everything was looking better then the last cycle...15 eggs collected and 9 fertilised (last cycle I had 11 eggs with 6 fertilised) we took part in the efreeze trial so we got a phone call on Monday 2nd to say we had 3 good quality embryos. I was over the moon with this and thought we would have 2 embryos to freeze for a later date. We got picked to do a fresh transfer so Tuesday (yesterday) we went it feeling so positive. Then we got told that our embryos weren’t good enough to freeze and we had a 4BC embryo put back in. This was the same quality I had for my last failed cycle so I’m feeling really down. I have also been told to rest for 5-6 days as I’m still quite swollen and bloated from egg collection so that’s making me even more worried. I have a bit of pain and worrying that every pain or twinge is bad news and I’m scared to move or to do anything. Can anyone give me any positive stories of a similar situation? I’m now on my 2ww and keeping all my fingers and toes crossed x
