My first IVF cycle

[JB124]

Hi all

This is me first post, I thought I’d join this to talk about my IVF journey and read others experience. I’m on my first IVF cycle. 13 egged retrieved, 7 mature 5 embryos, 3 blastocyst. One day 5 transfer and two frozen. I had my day 5 transfer on Saturday (10/12/2022) and now going through the dreaded wait.. looking to test on 20/12/22. Trying to stay positive.. Is any one else on similar stages? How are you feeling.

hi 👋🏼 welcome to the ‘fun’. How are you feeling after your retrieval? That’s some really good results you have, so got my fingers crossed one of those wee embryos is your miracle 🤗💜

I’m on day 7 of 10 day wait with a fresh transfer (nothing in the freezer this time) and hit the lost my mind stage 😂 xx

Hey 👋 aw hope all goes well with you, best of luck x my retrieval wasn’t too bad I was just worried if 13 eggs was enough (7 mature) couldn’t help myself googling and reading others experiences, but I guess everyone’s different.

I’m on day 3 of 10 day wait (off work too) and my mind is going crazy 😂 I thought I’d book a haircut this afternoon just to keep myself busy. Xx wishing you all the best hun x

Good to hear you made it through to this stage. Everything crossed for you for next week and hope you're having lots of self-care time. I'm a little bit behind you...just waiting to start stimulation injections next week at some point and a bit nervous but ready to start. All the best 😊x
