IVF overseas
I have just completed my second round abroad. How are you getting on? Xx
Hello Emma, just arrived Saturday, doing final tests now and checking sperm donor profiles. Meantime we're enjoying our stay here, so beautiful. Makes our stay worthwhile, even with the fear of a failed transfer.
What was the result Emma? How are you now?
It was positive!! 5+5 today. How are you? X
Congratulations! happy for you! My transfer in on Monday - pray for me?
Oh wow. Fantastic. How many are you planning on putting back? Xx
Hi Emma I'm happy to share i had my BFP last Oct. 1. Out of the 11 eggs collected only 3 made it. I only had one trasfered so hopefully this one pulls through all the way! We had the other two frozen.
Oh wow congratulations!!! That is fantastic news. How are you feeling? Xx
Amazingly I feel fine - no weird symptoms or anything. I don't feel pregnant at all! What about you? Your pregnancy good too?
Yes all good fingers crossed. 9 weeks now. I am glad that you are feel well xx
Yeah! Let's pray it stays that way. This is my first time to get pregnant!
Yes im doing ivf in czech republic. So far so good.... Going for my FET in 2 weeks time xxx
how did your FET go Lorita?
Im having DE treatment in Athens.xx
Hello is this your first try?
Its not unfortunately! Ive had a few transfers over there and lost the last 2 pregnancies however I cant fault the clinic, they have discovered I have a few issues so been unlucky! 3 of the ladies that I know went ot my clinic had success first time and Ive seen lots of other girls have success abroad too! Good luck.xx
Yeah I guess we all have our own stories a bit different from the rest. My transfer is this Monday, fingers crossed and lots of prayers to us all!
Best of luck to you!!xx
Thanks! How are you Cind? Hows your DE going?
Im hoping to start prep on next AF in October so not too long away now. That will be our 7th transfer.....uurggghhh (2xOE & 4XDE so far, lost the last 2 pregnancies). However we are very lucky to stil have 3 embryos left so still fighting!xx
You've had quite a journey, but you seem strong girl! Have you had your transfer already?
We are due to transfer at the end of this month so fingers crossed!xx
Good luck to you and lots of baby dust your way! Just curious - are you doing anything different now from your previous transfers?
I am having my progesterone levels checked as we suspect Im not absorbing the pessaries very well. We have added in Lubion injections as well as pessaries this time around so fingers crossed.xx
Hiya,sorry to jump on the conversation! Do you mind me asking how often you're having the lubion injections cinders? on our next cycle, our first FET, we have 1 every three days +pessaries. Wishing you both lots of luck in next cycles x x
Im going to be on 2x400mg of cyclogest pessaries and 1x25mg of lubion every 2nd day. My clinic are going to check my levels on transfer day and adjust accordingly. On my last cycle my progesterone levels on test day were only 19 which is too low to sustain pregnancy and my BFP started failing as not enough time to rescue levels. I also had a spontaneous loss at 6wks the cycle before which we now think was probably due to the same reason. Best of luck.xx
oh hun I'm so sorry. you're so strong! Glad they're sorting progesterone now xxx thanks you too
Hi there, when is your FET?
Hiya. Started meds this week and think they'll transfer around 2nd week of Nov. Wishing you lots of luck for your next steps x
Sending you lots of love Cind, hope this one works out well for you.
Thank you!xx
Hi Cind just wanted to check up on you. Hope you're doing ok.
Im doing ok thanks, recovered from this disappointment again!! How are you doing?xx
Still hanging on 10w3d now. So sorry to hear that dear. Are you ok with me talking about my pregnancy?
Oh that's great! Yes, of course....it honestly doesnt bother me! I would rather that some of us got luck than none of us!! Not long until your milestone scan now!xx
Yes I can't wait - just a few more days now.
Having treatment in Greece.
I’m having DE treatment in Alicante with IVF Spain. I’m waiting for them to find a new donor to start my next cycle after a disastrous first round. Why is every wait in IVF so painful and difficult!xx
Hi sazzle, yes I've been reading about the many fails with IVF and the many cycles most women have to go through. I'm a bit scared of that. I guess we just need to try and not be too emotionally involved? I don't know. I do hope we can have it at first try. Dunya IVF in Cyprus is said to be among the best.
Hi PagingMom thanks for the message. Sadly I’m still waiting to hear.....
They’ve given me a provisional transfer window of between 18th -26th Nov (but I guess dependent on the donor search).
Still a long way off, but I’m actually quite enjoying the break. I found my 1st round all-consuming. I didn’t realise how emotionally and physically exhausted I was until this week (I’m 4 weeks post mc today).
How’s things with you?x
I'm so sorry about your mc sazzle - after that of course you need a break! Your transfer is just a little over a month from now - before you know it it time
Hi pagingmom....it 6 weeks away now...which isn’t long! I’ve enjoyed the break and have a few days away in the sun next week to make sure I’m all relaxed before treatment kicks off again.
I’m so much more chilled this time round, I know what I’m doing, the clinic have agreed a really good treatment plan with me and have found a donor. So far so good 🤞🏻
How’s things with you?
Hi. I am ok thanks. 16 weeks and all good so far. Wow 10 weeks, how are you feeling? Xx
Excited for my 12 week scan! Amazingly I have no symptoms at all, wait, is that good?
That’s great! You must be having a healthy pregnancy. That is so exciting. Has it sunk in yet? Xx
After our scan yes! Seeing baby and hearing her heartbeat is such a lovely experience! Well I think she's a her - we don't really known yet. I suppose you're nearing your 20 week scan. How are you doing so far?
Oh it is so amazing isn’t it!! I am 19 weeks tomorrow and my scan is next Wednesday. We are having a boy!! How far are you? How are you feeling? Xx
We paid for a scan at 14 weeks. The consultant that we saw is great!
I am glad that you are feeling well. Have you got a bump? Xx
Hi. Wow you are lucky. You really are having a healthy pregnancy xx
Thank you Emma I hope it stays this way. We just keep praying. What about you? How big is your bump now?
I hope it does too. Well I can’t see my feet anymore lol!! Starting to feel him move around now as well. It’s lovely xx
Yes it is isn't it? Have you started counting fetal kicks? Or is it still too early for that?
Oh there are far to many to count! I am sure that he is having a party in there sometimes!! X
healthy happy baby! I'm 20 weeks but I don't feel anything, no symptoms either, starting to get scared here.
Good to hear!
