Success stories please!

[Gempuddleduck]

Just any really. We are in the 2ww with donor eggs and my 5th transfer but first FET. Feeling pretty low today and hopeless. Our embryo is a 4aa and PGT-A tested but I still feel so so scared.

I’m going back to work tomorrow which I think will really help - too much time to think at the mo!

Hi Gempuddleduck you've been through a lot getting to this place so it's only natural that you would feel scared. The fact it's a PGT-A tested embryo helps confirm that this is a viable embryo and furthermore its been graded well at 4aa - this is a really good grade. I don't have a success story to share as yet because we are currently trying embryo banking, but I understand your worries and some of where they stem from (having had a similar experience with TFMR). I know your fears will remain however I think you have every reason to be confident in your chances and have bundles of hope. Xxx

Thank you so much and I know you understand so much. We have just had our £2000 bill through too for embryo thawing and it just feels like there is knock after knock doesn’t it. Still no idea where that money will come from! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hopefully it will all be worth it. Thank you again Skittles11 xx

Hi Gem, its quite torturous isn't it and never any easier! I'm in my 4th tww, so wanted to send my love as feel your pain. This is also my first FET and first time we have PGS tested.

Sounds like you have a lovely little embryo on board! I've read there can be benefits from doing FET's as oppose to fresh, 1 being the embryo has survived thawing which shows its resilience.

I feel better that we are trying something new this transfer and hopefully this will be the thing that makes the difference.

Its definitely hard having too much time on your hands, I've been working but I have to say a big chunk of my time has been spent procrastinating! 😂

It's so understandable to be feeling the way you do and I have waves of this also. I just try and remind myself that we have thankfully got to this stage, we have what could potentially be a baby developing away in there and maybe this could be our time! Sending you tons of luck!xxx

[Gempuddleduck in reply to Betty08x]

Thank you Betty and let’s fingers cross that this is our time now 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It well could be, have faith in that little embryo 🤞 xxx

I was successful with my FET, you can check my profile for more info. My next step was going to PGT-A test them in the next egg collection, but see that you only need one good one to work!! Good luck ❤️❤️❤️

Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I am in my 2ww(they don’t seem to get any easier)…too much time to think 🤔 but it is out of our control now and we have to take nature take it’s course.I am on my fourth transfer and my first resulted in my little boy who starts school this year. An absolute miracle…it really does only take one!! Good luck xxx

Hi, so I used donor eggs as well and this is my first time grade was 4aa no pgt test done and I am currently pregnant with no symptoms at all. Be hopeful I know the 2ww can be crazy I kept thinking it didn't work but atlas it did 5week 3days pregnant. Going in for a scan nextweek. Goodluck and babydust

[Gempuddleduck in reply to Pepes]

I love that so much. Thank you 💕

[Hope4_22 in reply to Pepes]

Congratulations! Did you do test at home within the 2WW waiting period?

[Pepes in reply to Hope4_22]

I did at 6dp5dt and it was BFN so DH told me no more testing till beta day that was when i got the news that it was psotive I was shocked cause having had 5failed IVF with my own eggs I was expecting it to fail again

[Hope4_22 in reply to Pepes]

Thanks for the reply. Today I am on 6dp5dt and my home test came out negative. I am really disappointed. My OTD is on 26th (Tuesday)

[Pepes in reply to Hope4_22]

It is still too early just relax your mind and think postive I was in this same situation do not test again wait till beta day or 11dp5dt

[Hope4_22 in reply to Pepes]

Will do. Thanks for the advice Pepes !

Just a little good luck message as I know how hard the TWW is, it really can send you crazy! We went with donor eggs this round and I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant - after having convinced myself during the TWW that it had failed as I had pretty much constant cramps. Donor eggs aren’t a guarantee of success but presumably you’ve gone down this path as it’s your best option, so remember you’re doing everything you can and you have every reason to keep as positive as possible for the next few days. I really hope this is your time xx

[Gempuddleduck in reply to Emma672]

Thank you so much for your reply 💕 I also have lots of cramps but I think that’s the progesterone as they are so off and on. I am praying so so hard 🙏🏻Xxxx
