[PagingMom]

IVF overseas, anyone else on this adventure?

[Emmaxxx]

I have just completed my second round abroad. How are you getting on? Xx

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

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.

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

What was the result Emma? How are you now?

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

It was positive!! 5+5 today. How are you? X

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

Congratulations! happy for you! My transfer in on Monday - pray for me?

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

Oh wow. Fantastic. How many are you planning on putting back? Xx

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

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.

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

Oh wow congratulations!!! That is fantastic news. How are you feeling? Xx

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

Amazingly I feel fine - no weird symptoms or anything. I don't feel pregnant at all! What about you? Your pregnancy good too?

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

Yes all good fingers crossed. 9 weeks now. I am glad that you are feel well xx

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

Yeah! Let's pray it stays that way. This is my first time to get pregnant!

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

Hi Emma! How are you getting along? Currently 10w3d and hanging on!

[Lorita1984]

[PagingMom in reply to Lorita1984]

Glad to know that Lorita, let's hope all our transfers go well!

[PagingMom in reply to Lorita1984]

[Lorita1984 in reply to PagingMom]

Hello dear... Fet was postpinedas lining decided not to cooperate last month. Started new cycle yesterday so hopefully FET this month ❤️

[PagingMom in reply to Lorita1984]

Got my fingers crossed for you Lorita is it with the same clinic? But you didn't fly off last month right? You were just monitored at home?

[Cinderella5]

Im having DE treatment in Athens.xx

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

Hello is this your first try?

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

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 in reply to Cinderella5]

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 in reply to PagingMom]

Best of luck to you!!xx

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

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

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

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 in reply to Cinderella5]

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

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

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

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

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 in reply to Cinderella5]

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 in reply to Lots8788]

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 in reply to Cinderella5]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Lots8788]

Hi there, when is your FET?

[Lots8788 in reply to PagingMom]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Lots8788]

Hi dear, just wondering how your transfer went. Lots of love to you!

[PagingMom in reply to Lots8788]

Lots I seem unable to reply and create private messages - dunno what's wrong, but happy for you dear.

[Lots8788 in reply to PagingMom]

Thank you x hope all going well with your pregnancy x

[PagingMom in reply to Lots8788]

I hope you're doing okay Lots

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

Sending you lots of love Cind, hope this one works out well for you.

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

Thank you!xx

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

Hi Cind just wanted to check up on you. Hope you're doing ok.

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

Im doing ok thanks, recovered from this disappointment again!! How are you doing?xx

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

Still hanging on 10w3d now. So sorry to hear that dear. Are you ok with me talking about my pregnancy?

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

Yes I can't wait - just a few more days now.

[Cinderella5 in reply to PagingMom]

Hope all goes well, keep us updated!!xx

[PagingMom in reply to Cinderella5]

Hi Cind! Everything good with the scan. Had a lovely moment together listening to baby's heartbeat and seeing her too. Thought we saw baby wave at us haha! Hope you're doing okay Cind, may I ask what you plan to do next?

[MofM]

Having treatment in Greece.

[PagingMom in reply to MofM]

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

[sazzle2680]

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 in reply to sazzle2680]

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 in reply to sazzle2680]

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

[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 in reply to sazzle2680]

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 in reply to PagingMom]

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 in reply to sazzle2680]

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.

[Emmaxxx]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

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

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

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 in reply to PagingMom]

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 in reply to Emmaxxx]

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]

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 in reply to Emmaxxx]

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

[Emmaxxx]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

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

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

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 in reply to Emmaxxx]

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

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

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

[Emmaxxx in reply to PagingMom]

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

[PagingMom in reply to Emmaxxx]

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!

[PagingMom]

Good to hear!
