PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

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.

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.

PagingMom in reply toCinderella5

Hello is this your first try?

Cinderella5 profile image
Cinderella5 in reply toPagingMom

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

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toCinderella5

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!

Cinderella5 profile image

Best of luck to you!!xx

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toCinderella5

Thanks! How are you Cind? Hows your DE going?

Cinderella5 profile image
Cinderella5 in reply toPagingMom

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

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toCinderella5

You've had quite a journey, but you seem strong girl! Have you had your transfer already?

Cinderella5 profile image
Cinderella5 in reply toPagingMom

We are due to transfer at the end of this month so fingers crossed!xx

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toCinderella5

Good luck to you and lots of baby dust your way! Just curious - are you doing anything different now from your previous transfers?

Cinderella5 profile image
Cinderella5 in reply toPagingMom

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

Lots8788 profile image
Lots8788 in reply toCinderella5

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

Cinderella5 profile image
Cinderella5 in reply toLots8788

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

Lots8788 profile image
Lots8788 in reply toCinderella5

oh hun I'm so sorry. you're so strong! Glad they're sorting progesterone now xxx thanks you too

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toLots8788

HI MofM, I'm just a bit nearby. We're having ours in Cyprus. What sort of treatment are you having?

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

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply tosazzle2680

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.

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply tosazzle2680

How are you doing sazzle? Did you find a donor?

sazzle2680 profile image
sazzle2680

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

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply tosazzle2680

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 :)

sazzle2680 profile image
sazzle2680 in reply toPagingMom

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?

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply tosazzle2680

So happy to hear that sazzle! I'm happy to share that I got my BFP. I hope it will be the same for you.

Hi. I am ok thanks. 16 weeks and all good so far. Wow 10 weeks, how are you feeling? Xx

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

Excited for my 12 week scan! Amazingly I have no symptoms at all, wait, is that good?

Emmaxxx profile image
Emmaxxx in reply toPagingMom

That’s great! You must be having a healthy pregnancy. That is so exciting. Has it sunk in yet? Xx

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

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?

Emmaxxx profile image
Emmaxxx in reply toPagingMom

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

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

Congratulations on your baby boy Emma! How did you know? They say a baby's gender is usually seen on the 16 to 20 week scan. Did you have a scan earlier? I'm excited to know too! I'm 13w3d and doing very okay. Pregnancy is good to me :)

Emmaxxx profile image
Emmaxxx

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

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

Hello Emma, no bump yet and no symptoms - am I really pregnant? Hahah!

Emmaxxx profile image
Emmaxxx

Hi. Wow you are lucky. You really are having a healthy pregnancy xx

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

Thank you Emma I hope it stays this way. We just keep praying. What about you? How big is your bump now?

Emmaxxx profile image
Emmaxxx in reply toPagingMom

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

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

Yes it is isn't it? Have you started counting fetal kicks? Or is it still too early for that?

Emmaxxx profile image
Emmaxxx in reply toPagingMom

Oh there are far to many to count! I am sure that he is having a party in there sometimes!! X

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

healthy happy baby! I'm 20 weeks but I don't feel anything, no symptoms either, starting to get scared here.

Emmaxxx profile image
Emmaxxx in reply toPagingMom

I am sure you will soon. It’s normally between 20 amd 22 weeks xx

PagingMom profile image
PagingMom in reply toEmmaxxx

Thanks, I look forward to feeling baby move. Would you believe baby was sleeping at the 20 week scan? With legs crossed too! They couldn't check the gender!
