Hello team- still here!

Hello IVF warriors! I don’t know if any of my old IVF buddies are still on here…. Unfortunately I’m still hanging about 😆. We’re about to start on our 7th transfer (3rd successful), now trying for a sibling. Waiting for my cycle to start for my baseline. Anxiety was pretty high yesterday. Managed to calm with lots of deep breathing but the anticipation is building. I know all the things to do to try and manage anxiety but I truly will never get over the anxiety of an IVF cycle. I don’t have it in any other circumstances. Strap in people and hope for the best on this crazy ride. Sending strength to all those that need it right now.

xx

Hi hifer ! I remember seeing your name around 🧡 Not sure if you remember mine, but I am still here too!

We have been gearing up for a FET. Ready to start now with my September cycle! 🤞

We have made some big decisions. No more egg collections for us, but we are ready to be reunited with our frostie and give that a chance! I just really hope it will work 🥹 I know the odds may not be in our favour, but ready to try! The closer it is getting, the more scared I am! I am not so worried about medications this time and the injections. But worried about the thaw as the first hurdle!

Wishing you the best and hope for a good baseline scan! 🧡🤞

Hello! Wishing you all the very best. I know there are so many hurdles. I’m just trying to take one step at a time. We aren’t doing egg collections either. Everything crossed for you. When do you start? Xx

Sparklylife in reply to hifer

Around 11/09 if my cycle is playing ball 😇 prev experience I am normally very regular, but of course when you wait for it like this.. it can be a day or two off 😂🫣 I think I can be two days off, but anymore we might have to reschedule as it would mean transfer lands on a weekend..and clinic will be closed! 🤞

hifer in reply to Sparklylife

Is your clinic def shut on the weekends? That must affect a lot of people I should think. How annoying for you 🙈

I’m doing well thank you lovely, so kind of you to ask 😘 - on the last stretch before baby #2 arrives shortly & just lurking on here like a fraud still 🙈 but love to see posts from those around from when I went through it all - definitely still very vivid how tough these transfers can be! Hope the anxiety does ease for you, it is so hard when there’s only 1 goal in mind - but you got this!!

Will be following your progress for this one - lucky number 7 🍀🍀🍀🍀 hope your baseline looks fab 👌🏽 xx

hifer in reply to PenguinBlue

Whoop whoop 🙌. So exciting for you. Look forward to hearing your updates when little one arrives 😊.

Will keep everyone posted. Thought I’d be having my baseline yesterday. Naturally, as I’m waiting for it, my period hasn’t arrived yet so hopefully it’ll be sometime this week 🙈. Xx

2 transfers was failed? Any reason? Please can you mention grade of the embryos you transferred.

hifer profile image
hifer in reply to Hiramunir78

Hi there, I’ve had five failed transfers. I’m about to do my seventh. Can’t remember all the grades I’m afraid. I’ve been doing this for so many years! You’ll never get a conclusive reason for a failed transfer unfortunately. It could be one of a number of variables and you’ll just never know ☹️

Sorry if my question make you upset. After 2nd successful this is my 3rd transfer. That's why I was so worried.

hifer in reply to Hiramunir78

No not at all. There’s just no guarantees sadly. I wish there was! Wishing you all the very best 🤞

Had forgotton about the joys of Lubion and Fragmin injections but back to reality now...

And you lovely. Everything crossed for Friday. Whoop whoop. One of the joys about IVF is never being able to plan anything as you just never know timings 😆. I’m on injections too so I’m with you 🙌. Xx

I wish you very best of luck 🤞 and strength to go through this craziness all over again!! I am not sure if I could do this again 🤔, I think I am getting old now 🤣... Glad to see the veterans here 🤣😂 brigs so many memories back ...and it is also nice to see that so many of us are doing well after riding a rollercoaster for years, I guess not many are visiting Alton towers as we had enough 🤣😂🙈

Take care and bring the positive news soon. I will come to check it 😃🙂🤞🤗🥰♥️
