Omg thats really exciting. Im sure you can't wait for your first scan. Everything will be great! πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

Don't know yet for ec. I had scan on Friday and i have 7 follicles on the left and 9 on the right. But there was a concern some of the follicles on the right shrank a bit. But my bloods came back fine so the clinic increase my ovaleap dose to boost growing. Lining was 9.5 so im in for another scan on Monday and if all good im hoping for ec on Wednesday xxx 😊😊😊

Its absolutely normal especially when you've been through so much to get where you are now. We are humans and the fear is part of our life. But try not to stress out too much. Everything will be great and you will spending next Xmas as a mother and will be the best thing ever happened to you πŸ˜πŸ˜ŠπŸ€—xxx

Fingers crossed. 😊 If not this cycle, second or third will work. Im prepared to do whatever it takes πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

Hey! I did get very bloated! The nurses told me to inject the down reg drugs into my thighs instead. This seemed to help! I didn’t get too emotion on my first round but got mega night sweats! Good luck! Xxx

Thank you soo much

That's good you didn't put any weight on.

So what's going on with you? I didn't see any update after your fET? I hope it was successful! πŸ˜πŸ˜ŠπŸ€—xxx

Hi, i am good thank you. In fact I am 11 weeks pregnant. I didn’t want to post anything as I did not want to upset anybody. I know full well how it can be difficult to hear this kind of news... good luck with your treatment. I hope you will get a BFP too πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ’–

I thought it was successful because no update. Honestly for me seeing successful stories is fantastic because most of the women struggle so much and seeing them getting positive results is amazing and gives everyone else hope. We share bad things, we support each other but we have to be able to share the happiness of the success and support each other in this case as well!!!! Have a very happy and healthy pregnancy πŸ˜πŸ˜ŠπŸ€—xxxx

Yes that’s it... it’s a small price to pay. Drink plenty of water and try to eat well. I’m great thanks. My IVF journey ended a while ago I just offer advice every now and again. Good luck x

I did gain about 3 pounds but dropped off after egg collection.As long as your eating healthy & nutritional foods don’t worry about the pounds they’ll disappear after egg collection.

I can remember asking this exact question from the clinic when I was on the injections. Nurse said ignore the weight it’s hormonal, temporary & expected. Hope all goes well! Xxx

I gained a bit of weight and felt bloated or like I was retaining water. As soon as the injections stopped I seemed to lose it. I think my loss if appetite and extreme morning sickness helped too thought lol
