Yesterday afternoon I had two 4bb blastocysts transferred and one of them was hatching. I was so happy as in the four rounds before this I had only ever achieved one blastocyst. We still had 5 which they advised they would keep to day six but as they were still at the cellular stage the embryologist warned they have to make it to blastocyst and be of good quality. So basically in a round about way saying not much hope.
I have just received our day 6 call and to my absolute shock I have a frostie ❄️. It is also a grade 4bb so good quality.
If I am honest round 5 to me had always been a money exercise. I had paid for a multi cycle and when round 4 was awful I was strongly advised about preparing for egg donor after this round. I knew I had to do this round but held no hope. I have followed no diets, have only taken trying to conceive tablets, I have had no acupuncture or reflexology. However I did stick to no alcohol. More importantly I have been me and just eaten what I wanted, this has included dinners out and takeaways ☺️.
Great news! Well done. Sometimes I think all of th restricting does more harm than good. We had our best cycle when I wasnt as careful even if we didnt get a positive! Best of luck for the 2ww.🤞🏻xx
I dont think it gets any easier but I know what you mean! We're just gearing up for an FET again at the end of October....Im already a bit nervous at the thought of the 2ww but we have tweaked my progesterone protocl so hoping that makes the difference!xx
Fantastic news!!! My third round surprised me with how much better it was than my first 2! And I’m now 16 weeks pregnant from the third cycle (it took 8 embryos in total to get here). That’s great news that you have 3 strong embryos. Good luck with the 2ww and fingers crossed you won’t need your frostie for a couple of years xxx
I am going absolutely crazy and only 3 days post transfer. I am on quite a bit of progesterone so am having lots of cramping and period pain which I am sure is from that as had it last round. I am over thinking every twinge and have been very emotional today. I hope this is both of ours round 🤞🏻How are you doing? Xx
So... start of 5dp5dt... urgh!! I’m trying my very best not to Google and check how everyone else on this day is feeling and what they are feeling... but alas I’ve slipped in to the slightly psychotic realm!
Cramps have died down a lot since 3DP5DT, sickness is still there ever so slightly but less too. I HATE that ultimately whatever i do or read, it’s just a case of time and waiting!!
I’m so tempted to take a test on Sunday which would be 7dp5dt but I know it’s BFN I’ll be utterly depressed but also cling on to the hope that it may be ‘too early’ and obsess even more over the following days.
Our OTD is next Thursday and it seems forever away. My husband is a teacher and leaves at stupid o clock in the mornings so when we do a test on that day he’d literally either have to leave me in floods of tears or in tears of joy. Very annoying! I’ve always done a test the night before to prepare myself and not have to be alone afterwards, and it’s never been a good outcome for us, so will probably do it Wednesday night!
We have some plans to get us through the weekend so hopefully that’ll fly by. How about you? X
My otd is next Friday and I’m going to try my hardest not to test early. But completely understand why you would want to test the night before. I am hoping my husband has managed to get the day off.
I am also in that realm during the day as I am off work at the moment better once my husband is home. Cramping is starting to ease so who knows. Doesn’t help that I also have pics of them before they were transferred and then a scan of them being put back I can’t stop looking at them 😩.
I am glad you have things planned to pass the weekend. I am just about to drive to Norfolk to spend the weekend with my family so that will keep me busy.
