4th Transfer Done... will this be our time? 🙏

[AuroraXen]

Yesterday I had our 5BC put back. I had an extra 24 hours of progesterone this time, so hoping that might make a difference. I feel quite strange this time - I keep forgetting I've actually had an embie transferred! I did my post transfer acupuncture, and am trying to nail that balance of taking it easy but not just lying on the sofa constantly🤣 Think I'm a bit numb to it all now, in a strange way 🤔 But feeling very blessed to even be where we are, so fingers crossed this time we get to see an actual line come test day!😂 Sending love to all this Easter xx

[Sunflower35]

Good luck!! Sending you baby dust ✨✨✨

Thanks sweetheart x

[Yellow611]

Good luck, have everything crossed for you 🤞

[AuroraXen in reply to Yellow611]

Thank you! I hope your transfer plans are moving forwards OK xx

[Skittles11]

Wishing you luck with your two week wait and test day. I hope this will be your time xx

[AuroraXen in reply to Skittles11]

Oh thank you Skittles. Very sweet of you to post this, I know you are having a hard time of it and am thinking of you and all you are processing xx

[Roobs33]

Wishing you all the luck in the world. 💖

[AuroraXen in reply to Roobs33]

Thank you Lovely Hope you're managing to make some decisions for your next round, I'm sorry you had such a sad experience previously xx

[Hoop123]

Good luck! Alll fingers crossed that this is the one 🤞🤞🤞 xx

[AuroraXen in reply to Hoop123]

Thanks Hoop! I hope your pregnancy is going well. Wow, the weeks are sailing by! xx

[Hoop123 in reply to AuroraXen]

They really are flying aren't they! I was so thrilled to see you were back at transfer stage though after your investigations. 💕

And thank you! It's still quite nerve wracking and I've been told to continue to expect spotting etc but I'm trying to take it day by day and enjoy the little moments. X

[SK73]

Good luck, look forward to your updates🤞🤞🤞

[AuroraXen in reply to SK73]

Oh thank you 😘 I hope you're managing to settle a bit on the Buserelin? Progesterone is driving me nuts at the moment, or maybe it's the estrogen. I had to do a medicated FET as this is the protocol the implantation clinic did for their trio of tests earlier this year, so we wanted to replicate that exactly when making the change those tests suggested. But it does feel like a lot of unnecessary hormones (my lining has always been good, ovulation happens naturally etc, so the only reason for doing progynova before cyclogest was to replicate that protocol we used in the ERA test). Started with such a headache yesterday afternoon after transfer, and paracetamol won't shift it. Now I'm stressing as it feels like hormone headaches I always get on my non IVF cycle, about 5 days before AF shows up 😱 So now I'm panicking that my progesterone levels have dropped and I'm going to bleed early like i did on my first ever transfer 🤯😢 The stress never ends! xx

[SK73 in reply to AuroraXen]

Oh no!! Yeah the stress really never ends, hopefully the headache is down to progesterone and estrogen🤞 I'm such a moody cow, even I'm sick of my mood swings🙄🤣 but finish microgynon Monday and wait for a bleed so hopefully mood will improve after that lol Buserelin is ok at the minute but only been on it 4days so maybe I'll get lucky this time with less side effects. Must be a big change for you having a medicated FET this time, I've only ever had medicated FET so don't know any different. But I do know if I had a choice I wouldn't choose medicated😂 Gotta do what ya gotta do💪

[Hidden]

Good luck sweetie! Sending lots of baby dust! Hopefully these 2 weeks will go fast! 🥰🌈

[AuroraXen in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Lovely. You know, in a way though I kind of hope they last forever 😆 I'm one of those who hates to test and just likes to hold onto the hope as long as possible. I love feeling I'm PUPO 😍I think that must be because I've never seen a positive test (not my own anyway 🤣) and just assume it'll never work for us, so I never relish the end of the 2 weeks (or 11 days, in our clinic's case). But I will GLADLY take all the baby dust around 🥰 Bless your heart for sharing such a nice message at such a time xx

[Hidden in reply to AuroraXen]

Thanks hunny! Losing my 2 embryos, one after another and seeing positive tests and then the way God took them away was so awful. So I don't want to be ungrateful but if I could change the outcome I would've take some negative ones then to go through something like this.

The 2nd transfer I was also happy to be PUPO and I was so sad when OTP came because I knew that the feeling of having my little frostie in my belly was over.

I'll pray for this little frostie to snuggle in your belly to stay cozy and safe! 🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[AuroraXen in reply to Hidden]

Thank you sweetheart 💓 xx

[Millbanks]

Aww lots of luck my lovely.I felt the same on my last few, just a bit numb to it all.

But I’ve got everything crossed that this is your time 💜💜💜 xxx

[AuroraXen in reply to Millbanks]

Thanks so much Millbanks. I'm also obsessing over my progesterone this time, which i usually don't. It's because I'm just on cyclogest right now, no lubion, and my only other cyclogest-only transfer was my very first, when I had quite heavy breakthrough bleeding very early on in the 2WW. For that reason we took lubion only the last two transfers and that resulted in only a bit of bleeding right at the end of the first one and then no bleeding last time. I have a stock of lubion from last time, so if I see any blood this bank holiday weekend I'm ringing the clinic's emergency line to tell them I'm going to self medicate 😆 I'm just worried that maybe I should be on it NOW. I had my progesterone bloods taken yesterday but with the BH I don't think the result will be back until Tuesday, which could be too late. The worry never ends 😜🤣 xx

[Millbanks in reply to AuroraXen]

Oh love, I know what you mean. I’d be tempted to use it anyway. I always hear that you can’t have too much and if you’ve been on it previously it makes sense.

Xx

[AuroraXen in reply to Millbanks]

Yep I think I'll ring their nursing line tomorrow and say that's what I'm doing (I'd need a prescription mailing though as I don't have enough for the full 2WW). They're open first thing for a couple of transfers so I'm going to just say that's what I want, for peace of mind! Hope your lovely baby is doing well xx

[Millbanks in reply to AuroraXen]

Yes good plan 👍🏼🥰I think sometimes you just have to push for what you want. You are the client after all.

We’re good thanks! Getting to grips with newborn life but it’s worth it all xxx

[JudithSS]

Yes my girl!! Sending you all the sticky baby dust! Lots of love darling xxx

[AuroraXen in reply to JudithSS]

Thank you! Hope you're managing to navigate all your tests and different clinics. It's so hard sometimes to know what's the best course of action! Xx

[JudithSS in reply to AuroraXen]

Yes love, we’ve found a new clinic, their communication is shocking but we were very spoilt with our last one. Anyway they want us to do short protocol so at least the protocols changes. Had my two biopsy’s done so just waiting on those results. Should start stimms in June time 🤞🏼Xx

[AuroraXen in reply to JudithSS]

Ah excellent, that sounds great (except for the poor communication!). I'm hoping the biopsies suggest something you can change (or at least bring peace of mind!) X

[RecipIVF]

Lots of luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻Xx

[AuroraXen in reply to RecipIVF]

Thank you! I hope all going well, you must be getting close now xx

[Picalilli99]

Awww congratulations on your transfer! I totally get what you mean about that numb feeling. Really hoping that extra day of progesterone is the golden nugget that has been missing! Will have everything crossed for you lovely 🤞🤞. Really hope this is your time xxx

[AuroraXen in reply to Picalilli99]

Thanks sweetie, me too 😘 You must be in your final couple of months now? Hope you're managing ok, and aren't too anxious. I'm sure everything is going to be good in the end xx

[Picalilli99 in reply to AuroraXen]

Thank you. We are doing ok thanks. Had a rather intense appointment on Monday where we met lots of the professionals who will be there when our baby is born. They were all explaining the different invasive procedures that they would need to do to give our little one the best chance of survival. We had an idea about these things but hearing them all in detail (and all the associated risks) one after the other was difficult and upsetting to hear. But feeling a bit better now we’ve had a bit of time to process it all and we definitely feel like we are in really good hands. So we just have to hope for the best. C section is booked for 39 weeks so only 5 weeks to go now xxx

[AuroraXen in reply to Picalilli99]

Oh wow yeah I can imagine that must have been pretty intense😔 Bless you both. But you know, knowledge is power and in a way I guess it's good that you know exactly who is going to be there and what they're going to be doing to help your lovely baby. It must be very scary but all we can do in these situations is trust the doctors and be reassured that this is what they do all day long 😘 Sounds like you're in very safe hands. I'll be thinking of you all! Xx

[Savvy_teapot]

Kind thoughts to you! Sounds like you are being very sensible 🤞🤞🤞

[AuroraXen in reply to Savvy_teapot]

Thanks Lovely xx

[Positivechangeplease]

Good luck 🤞

[AuroraXen in reply to Positivechangeplease]

Thanks! xx

[SianieShorts]

Sending you lots of love and luck 🍀 I had my FET on Thursday. Stay strong xx

[AuroraXen in reply to SianieShorts]

Oh great! Wishing you the best of luck too then🤞! When is your test date? xx

[Krystal_43]

Fingers crossed this is the one!

[AuroraXen in reply to Krystal_43]

Thanks sweetheart. I hope you're ok? xx

[ClaireB24]

Good luck lovely!! Really hope this is your time xxx

[AuroraXen in reply to ClaireB24]

Thanks sweetie. I remember you also had a sad result at Christmas 💔 How are you doing now? You've had some extra tests since then, right? xx

[ClaireB24 in reply to AuroraXen]

It’s a work in progress. Awaiting NK cell results, and having a hysteroscopy in a couple of weeks. Aiming for another transfer in June. Keep us updated with your news, got everything crossed for you xx

[PinkPanther1234]

Good luck! I hope this is going to be your time 🤞 x

[AuroraXen in reply to PinkPanther1234]

Thank you! Me too, I did the 'hopefully it'll be 3rd time lucky' mantra at Christmas, to no avail, so hoping for 4th time 😆 How are things with you? xx

[PinkPanther1234 in reply to AuroraXen]

I know that feeling! Keeping everything crossed for you for 4th time lucky! 🤞

I'm waiting for my ERA. They said by the time I've done all the bits for medicated FET prep, the biopsy will be in June (Dr wanted me to have a bit of a break, which is frustrating but maybe for the best). Hoping I can get on with another transfer as soon as possible, when I have the results back 🤞 x

[Solly-44]

Ahhh exciting! Lots of luck, hope your 2ww flies by (yeah right! 🙈) xx

[AuroraXen in reply to Solly-44]

Thanks Solly. I'm actually one of those who never wants the 2WW to end 😂 I'm always too scared to test and love being in the 'possibly pregnant' bubble. How are things with your clinic, I know you were having some awful delays?? xx

[Solly-44 in reply to AuroraXen]

Oh I completely get that feeling, it’s a lovely bubble to be in after we’ve worked so hard to get there! Bit of good news this week so we’re hoping to get going soon 🙏 Looking forward to your updates xx 🤞🤞🤞

[AuroraXen in reply to Solly-44]

Oh good! Glad things are moving again xx

[NemoFish]

I’ve got everything crossed for you, really really hoping this is your time!! Xx

[AuroraXen in reply to NemoFish]

Thanks Lovely 😍 How are you, did you do an egg collection? xx

[NemoFish in reply to AuroraXen]

We got five eggs again, they found a surprise 4th follicle with two eggs no one had seen on my scans. As I was being wheeled out the room they shouted out “we’ve got a 5th egg!” Had the call this morning that we’ve got three embryos 😊. Transfer booked for Wednesday all being well x

[AuroraXen in reply to NemoFish]

That's great news! Fingers crossed they all keep developing nicely xx

[Redsequin]

Ahhhhh good luck! Glad the transfer went smoothly and keeping everything crossed this is your time. 🧡🧡🧡

[AuroraXen in reply to Redsequin]

Thanks sweetheart. I'm praying that it is! 😬🥰 xx

[Hidden]

Just seen this! Heaps of luck lovely! Xx

[AuroraXen in reply to Hidden]

Aw thanks Daisy! Are you feeling a bit stronger now? Xx

[AMJean]

I really hope it is your time! Best of luck! 🍀🤞x

[AuroraXen in reply to AMJean]

Thank you! Me too 😣🤞 xx

[Sunnydays1111]

Good luck 🤞🏻 Sending you lots of baby dust. Just wanted to let you no that I didn’t take it that easy during the 2ww, my clinic told me to carry on as normal and I done long walks most days to get out in the fresh air and clear my mind ❤️

[AuroraXen in reply to Sunnydays1111]

Thanks! I've pretty much been doing my normal routine, just no aerobics-type stuff! But some short-ish walks etc xx

[Sunnydays1111 in reply to AuroraXen]

Yes I think it’s best to carry on as normal and try to keep yourself busy. Good luck 🤞🏻 ❤️

[Rol81]

Good luck xxx
