Just reaching out for views/advice, appreciate no one here can give medical advice but my clinic in Cyprus is closed, they are in bed!
the clinic have been quite lazy this time around on my last precious cycle, they have given me no plan, so I had no advance warning of when to scan get blood tests. After prodding them Yesterday, they ordered me to get my second scan today which proved difficult so last minute and around work. Anyhow the upshot is I got a scan at 7.30pm this eve and it feels like I should be triggering tonight., some quite big follicles which I fear I will lose, but I can’t ask my clinic now they are in bed. They said earlier today that because I hadn’t had the scan by the time the closed today we’ll just delay trigger but it feels quite like guesswork… follicle sizes are in the photo , , for all those who have done this a few times and are a bit geeky when it comes to the numbers, would you agree I should be triggering tonight, love to hear anyone’s thoughts… don’t want to go ahead with trigger tomorrow if it’s going to all be too late…
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and my love and thoughts for anyone else battling through ❤️

I did end up triggering on Sat eve ( that scan was Friday eve), my clinic convinced me that it was fine, I’m still not entirely sure it should have been a day earlier but I’m on my way out to Cyprus now so we’ll see what the scan shows before collection tomorrow… I need some some luck on my side…
Thanks so much for your kind wishes
As ever wishing everyone all the best on your journey ❤️🙏
I really hope it is all fine. Good luck with the egg collection and getting some lovely embryos. Please update if you feel up to it. Sending lots of baby dust.
ah thank you again for your kind reply. Somehow I stepped on that plane on Sunday evening, battling with myself that I couldn’t do it and feeling super Stressed because I thought the Trigger had been too late. After a breakdown at the clinic full of anxiety they somehow got me through the egg collection. It never gets any easier annd the past trauma of this journey always looms but I did it. I was back on the plane Monday afternoon heading home after less than 24 hours in the country! 10 eggs collected, I got a message on the plane, 8mature, and a call yesterday, 6 fertilized. So I am holding to hopes that these 6 have a chance. This is my first ever time not having a fresh transfer after collection, so it feels a bit strange but I’m actually glad to have time to build my strength back up and get myself strong for a transfer next month all being well. 🙏 I started on Hydroxy about 4 weeks ago for the first time so hoping that will help to.
For all those going through this, and those feeling you’re on your last chance, hang on in there, although it doesn’t always feel like it, we all have a strength to be admired and I am thinking of you all.
@citizenrased83, thank you again for your lovely message.
You're so brave! I hope you know that. This is all hard enough without the added stress of airports, planes etc. Well done for getting through this. Im so glad to hear about the fertilised eggs and really hope you get some lovely embryos. I'm here to chat anytime.I can never do a fresh transfer as I have PCOS but frozen transfers definitely have their benefits.
Sending you so much baby dust and hugs. Look after yourself. Xx
Ah thank you, you are equally brave, everyone here is, this journey is gruelling and I have nothing but respect for every lady on here.
Not sure where you are on your next steps? I hope you can keep going and have the happy ending we all so very much deserve.
I had the Day 3 call today and all 6 embryos have divided well, so I made the decision to freeze all today, I feel like a coward for doing so and am now fretting that I should have been brave enough to let them go to day 5 but I can only listen to my heart….. these decisions are brutal. Keeping everything crossed now for one of them to be my rainbow baby. ❤️
As ever so much love and hugs to everyone on this journey ❤️❤️❤️
ah huge good luck for your appointment today, hope it goes smoothly for you and you’re all set to go. Would love to hear how you get on if you feel like sharing. Sending huge hugs and positive wishes.xxx
Thanks so much lovely. Appointment went well - they could see that I'd ovulated recently. Just have to wait for period to start and then can start FET cycle properly. Thanks for your good wishes. How are you feeling? Xxx
Great, that’s good news, very pleased for you that you can get going with it. Every stage passed is a step closer. How many Embryos do you have/are you going to transfer? Is your clinic in the UK?
I’m feeling sad today, it’s my birthday today. I’m blocking everything and everyone out today as I’ve nothing to celebrate and this time last year was carrying my little Cuppie having just found out she had no heartbeat so it’s not a great day. I see my trauma counsellor every Friday though so that is a good thing and I generally feel more steady after that.
Wishing for you that your period comes bang on time so that your FET can begin. I’m waiting to now! 🙏🙏🙏 for us both xxx
Thanks so much lovely. We have 7 embryos left but will transfer one for now. My Dr is very against double transfers because of all the risks. My clinic is in the UK.
Happy birthday although I appreciate you not wanting to celebrate, especially as you have the trauma from last year. I really hope this coming year brings you lots to celebrate and be happy about. I'm glad you have your counselling appointment today to help.
Thank you so much. Let's hope it's our turn soon for good news. Xxx
7 embryos, that’s really great that you have such a good amount. I hope that the one that’s chosen is going to be your little miracle❤️. Are you going to do anything differently this cycle to your previous ones?
Thanks for the wishes, and hopefully next year will be a better birthday. 💙
