Sonia

Hi ladies, we have just booked on for our first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> cycle with a 50/50 split for conventional fertilisation and ICSI in Australia. started meds last night. Anyone else close to my cycle or doing <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> in Australia? ☺

My husband and I started the ivf journey with Primary Ivf Sydney, this year, we had the injections and the egg retrieval, tests, transfers and 1 BFN on our first fresh transfer, we decided to try again in 2 months since we had 4 frozen embryos, they transferred 1 frozen and I went through the 2ww again which is an absolutely horrible, tough time. We got our phone call last week with our amazing BFP result. Hcg levels were at 535 for the first blood test and 1830 for the second which they are very happy with. Currently 4 weeks 6 days pregnant and now waiting for the 6 week viability scan. :)

UPDATE: So I woke up after dreaming I had a strong BFP and decided to test. I'm only 5dp5dt and wasnt going to be down if it was a negative. Wellll.....faint but there positive on Frer and Pregnant 1-2 weeks on digital. Hoping it's a strong little one that's why it's showing so early!!!

TMI last night before bed I went to the toilet as usual and saw this on my pad...a brown smear of discharge. when I wiped there was a small brown mucusy little clot like discharge...for some silly reason I don't look closely jist continues wiping. this morning I am 5 weeks. an app tells me the baby is the size of an Applebees and I swear that's around the size of this piece of mucus. I'm petrified...its Sunday.. .I have betas tomorrow....I've read everywhere it's normal to spot but I'm so scared... thoughts?

girls I'm a bit worried...i know I'm 4.5 weeks pregnant due to our transfer but did this digital test this morning and this is what it says. Could this mean my hcg is not rising? I'm so scared

tomorrow is my beta for cycle 3 (ET 2) thank goodness I had a function to attend today coz I am a bundle of nerves. currently 29th Oct and no sign of AF...some symptoms but less than usual...mainly bad skin which is common for me at that time of month. with last month's cycle I got AF on 30th sept 2 days before beta...i had spotting the day before (this time around no spotting riday) last time tho I had the beta 13dpt and tomorrow will be 11dpt so that's what im.nervous about that it's just delayed due to pessaries and will come in 2 days time. I am really crossing everything that I'm pregnant ...feeling so sick with nerves

I am fine have my scan on wednesday and hope I will habe some more follicles then last time. I am still feeling good, which makes me wonder if I didn't respond well to medication again.

How are you going?

Lee • Oct 27, 2017
thank you so much for your support. the tww has actually gone fast. I am a teacher so last time was on holidays and had lots of time to Google and think. this FET has coincided with the start of the term and report writing which is handy. not to mention I'm in crazy preparation mode for a friends wedding I'm in. all busy times so haven't thought about it too much and when I stop I think.. .oh yeh I could be!
