First two week wait

[EmGLA]

Hello

Well after that dramatic will they/won’t they egg collection last week. I got 13 eggs however as I was warned, due to my drop in oestrogen, only 6 were mature and three fertilised normally.

During my egg collection and my lining was only measuring at 6mm so I came back in on the Thursday to discuss embryo quality and see what my lining was doing and options based on these with the consultant. So my lining was still measuring thin (5.9mm) and of the three embryos one was high quality and the other two were low. So we were still hoping to freeze on Saturday due to my lining.

On Saturday though I got a call from the embryologist saying that my one good embryo was a little slow so it was a ‘hatching morula’ not a full blastocyst yet. And the other two embryos hadn’t progressed. This then gave us a dilemma as they could only freeze the following day if appropriate quality. But can only transfer on day 5 and my lining wasn’t looking great.

So a bit of a rock and a hard place.

Anyway we decided to transfer!! So not a full blastocyst but the embryologist said since she had phoned me in the morning it had developed even more and was looking good. When the consultant was scanning me (abdominal scan) for the embryo transfer she also said my lining had finally thickened!! They couldn’t measure it but both her and the nurse both said it looked great too.

Test day is the 4th. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Any tips for this period I’ve been drinking lots of water, eating pineapple and taking it easy since Saturday.

I’m so glad to hear you’ve made it transfer Em, and great to hear you’ve got a good embryo on board ☺️ You’ve certainly not had an easy ride so nows your time to relax and take it easy. I hope you’ve got some lovely things planned to take your mind of the 2ww. I’d get some comedy’s on the tv so lots of laughing, some gentle strolls to get your circulation moving and then get your feet up in the evenings in a nice pair of warm fluffy socks. Wishing you loads of luck🍀🤞🏼xx

I had my transfer on Saturday aswell. How you feeling? Xx

[EmGLA in reply to Hopedream]

I had a few cramps Saturday and Sunday but feel ok today. How are you feeling?? Is your test day the 4th too?? X

[Hopedream in reply to EmGLA]

I have felt a few cramps but now I think it’s just wind from the pessaries no my test day is the 3rd. Feels like it’s been 2 months not 2days. I know I’m going to end up testing early xx

[EmGLA in reply to Hopedream]

I know I don’t know how I’ll feel if it’s negative and I have to go to work...

[Hopedream in reply to EmGLA]

Let’s try be positive, can’t wait to hear your BFP keep in touch if u get any symptoms xx

[EmGLA in reply to Hopedream]

Same!!! I have no idea what to expect!!

Xxxx

Yeyyy EmGLA! Well done on getting this far! Glad your lining eventually played ball. Good luck for the 2ww....hope it's a sticky one!! Just keep doing what you're doing.xx

[EmGLA in reply to Cinderella5]

I hope it’s a sticky one too 🤞🏼I’m back at work today so hoping it’s an easy shift and I won’t get too stressed. Xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to EmGLA]

It's sometimes better being at work....get too much time to think at home!! Hope you have an easy shift too!!xx

[emmab178]

That makes more sense, my test day is the 6th because we had to wait for Rocky to mature. Ive always found the second week the hardest.

[Hopingforamiracle19]
