A little vent - first frozen cycle

[Fluffysocks89]

Hello lovelies..

I thought I’d write a post as I’m feeling a bit lonely with this whole IVF process and it’s so nice to speak to people who are going through a similar situation.

A bit of background:

We started our first fresh cycle in July last year but we ended up with a ‘freeze all’ situation due to a build up of fluid in my right tube.

Since then I’ve been for surgery to have my right tube removed. I was originally told the fluid could be drained and the tube clamped but my tube was too damaged when they got inside and it had to be removed.

I’m now finally fully recovered from surgery after a couple of complications and a nasty infection and I have been on estradiol tablets for two weeks. We went for my scan yesterday and was told the lining was looking good, which was such a relief 💕

Ive had to have a couple of Cetrotide injections to stop me from ovulating as a follicle had started to develop in my right ovary. But luckily we were right of the boarder size wise to be able to carry on with this cycle.

Ive started with the progesterone pessaries this evening and was told that all of our embryos would be thawed today.

I can’t seem to think about anything other than how our little embryos are getting on 😩 I’m so emotional and anxious. It’s driving me crazy.

❤️

Hi hon. Ivf is such an emotional rollercoaster and no matter how strong we are... the ride does overwhelm us. Try to do things that distress you and make you happy. Easier said than done... I know. Hope everything goes fantastically well! ☘☘☘

That’s so normal. Don’t worry, just focus on each tiny positive step you got this far, after a few hurdles, your embryos will be ok, and soon one will be tucked up inside you. Fingers crossed xx

Hi Amandac, thank you. It’s nice to hear it’s normal 🙂 yeah you’re right, we are so lucky to even have this option and I’ll be forever grateful, how ever things turn out for us xxx

I am awaiting my first frozen transfer on monday. When is yours? I dont know how long they thaw the embryos for and wonder if mine are thawing?

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to Violet180]

Hi Violet, our embryos were thawed today.

I’m awaiting a call from our clinic tomorrow to let us know how many have survived the thawing process and then I’ll get another call on Sunday to let me know how they are progressing.

Hoping transfer day will be Tuesday 🤞🏼

Wishing you the very best of luck with your frozen cycle ❤️🍀 xx
