Hi Jen

Yes progesterone 5 days in advance switches on your uterus lining for implantation. Just follow their advice and use the prolutex and pessaries and you’ll be fine.

New donor yes. We may skip intralipids. I’ve had a scratch each time and I have had implantation. So I think it’s good to do. Maybe find someone better at it. Shouldn’t be too awful. Although my pregnancies ended in chemicals. But in October I needed hysteroscopy and ended up with a full D&C and clear out so no scratch this time for me. I feel I’ve had enough.

Intralipids are indicated but I don’t really rate the evidence. However no harm. But they need to be done a week before transfer and then twice after I believe to be effective. And I can’t find somewhere to do it in ireland.

I am on steroids and thyroid meds and have had bloods checked so hopefully i have done enough. Plus a fresh transfer of I hope 2 embryos.

It’s all a lot. We end lockdown here December 2 so no isolation on return. Plus they covid test anyway so that’s helpful to have.  Still a lot to navigate right now.

Hey Jen,

Sorry I've only just read your post.
I'm so so sorry things didn't work for you in August. It's such a hard thing to deal with after all the prep finances and emotions that go into it. I hope your doing ok and starting to feel good about your plan for your two frosties when restrictions have settled.

Just to let you know on the progesterone front I did an ERA this time. I've never done it before but it had been recommended to me by so many friends who swear by it. The reason why I mentioning it to you is that it actually determines how much progesterone you need before embryo transfer day. The standard is 5 days but the ERA tells you if you are pre or post receptive meaning you may require more or less progesterone than the usual 5 days. Mine came back post receptive meaning I only need 4 days of progesterone. I'm not saying it's for you or that you need it. It's pricey enough but it definitely gives you more accuracy re progesterone. It's maybe something you could have a look into yourself.
How much progesterone were you on before the august transfer? What form? I'm on IM progesterone this time.

Re the intralipids I've done them for every cycle. I don't know how effective they are but for me they are always suggested as I have raised NK cells. If nothing else I will say they are really good for you and can't do any harm so long as your not allergic to any of the ingrediants. I had mine yesterday and the nurse said she gives them all the time for IVF and she rates them highly. I'm in Ireland so can't advise re where to get them in the UK.

Lastly the scratch. I've had mine in prep for this transfer. It's painful but should only last a few minutes. Like most things in IVF it is an empirical procedure so hard to know how beneficial it really is.

To answer your question we're flying this Sunday TF monday please God!!!! Only 4 eggs fertilised so I am nervous but trying to stay positive

Hey mrs I just sent you a PM but just to let you know I got intralipids no problem here in Ireland. Hibernian do them in your house or in their office.


Anyway serious baby dust to us all

Hi! Just a quick one to say our daughter arrived via planned c section on the 16th November. She was breech throughout and here a breech delivery isn’t even considered. It was actually very lucky as my placenta was stuck to my uterus wall and I lost over 2 litres of blood and had a pretty hard surgery. It was all totally worth it though and had no impact on our baby, just taken me a bit longer to recover and very scary in theatre and for my husband.

Jenny, wishing you all the luck in the world for your upcoming transfer. If you remember I only had 4 mature eggs collected, 3 fertilised, 2 made it to day 5 and only one PGS tested normal so it really does only take one!

Wishing you all so much luck for the rest of 2020 and next year. Who knows if we will try again, at the moment it is pretty far from my mind and my husband is not so keen after the complications with delivery but we will revisit the question a bit further down the line xx

I literally only have a minute as up to my eyes and flying Sunday but wanted to say HUGE CONGRATS!!!! So so happy to hear of the birth of your daughter. My God it seems like yesterday when we were all chatting about your plans for transfer. I'm sorry you had such a hard time. It sounds really severe but you go girl...well done for being wonder woman and getting through it all. Really thrilled for you and your hubs 

Thanks for the well wishes. Soooo nervous that all will go to plan but please God it will 

CONGRATS!!!!!!

Hi guys,

Not sure if anyone is still on this thread but transferred 2 little embies last Monday. No frosties.

Really stressful time due to allergic reaction & a few other things but home since yesterday so really happy to be back and have fingers and toes and everything crossed and praying like a mad one.

Hope ur all well.

Ahh wow good luck Jenny!!! Whens your test day?? How you feeling? Did all go well for the transfer? What was it like being over in Spain in relation to covid?? I will be keeping everything crossed for you!! So will you have another intralipid infusion if the test result is positive? What was your allergy to? Hope your ok!

Thanks both for all the info on the intralipids, progesterone and scratch, much appreciated. Were hoping after Christmas/new year we’ll start preparing for our next frosties going in. Its nice to have a break but its always in the back of my mind i want to crack on with things!!

I had an ERA test done about 2 years ago and the result was ‘receptive’ so i guess that meant we had been transferring at the right time. On my last transfer i just had the lovely pessaries 400mg morning and night then i started the SC lubion on day of transfer.

Weve never been able to transfer a fresh embie as with my own eggs i always produced too many so always had a ‘freeze all’ that was one of the reasons for donor really then we could have a fresh transfer but covid put a stop to that, does make me wonder if a fresh transfer would make all the difference!

Good luck Jenny, hope your doing lots of resting and not driving your self too insane (easier said than done i know!!) keep us posted 🤞🏼

Hi Jen

Just a quick msg but will reply better next time...a bit tired here.

So did a first response test 5dp5dt and got faint line.
6th day slightly more evident but only slightly but did get a pos on clear blue digital.
Am really really far from celebrating yet though as I think the second line on first response needs to be waaay darker. Had an early miscarriage before so guess that scares me.

Trying to remain positive though 

So my allergy was to IM progesterone. Long story short I had a severe reaction and had to be changed to prolutex and cyclogest. It was all very scary but ok now.

Spain is grand. No probs at all in terms of Covid.

Hope your keeping well and are looking forward to the new year xx
