FET

Today I am having an FET.

We had 3 embryos, one survived defrosting and will be implanted around 3pm.

I am absolutely terrified this won't work. It's our last go after 3 failed ICSI attempts, and my last chance to become pregnant.

Please cross your fingers and pray for me. The next two weeks until I can test are going to be the hardest of my life.

Watching and keeping fingers crossed.

Inspired by your positivity.

Also, great idea to do daily post here - I imagine quite cathartic.

I'm really rooting for you Delilah...hope you are keeping positive...Have everything crossed for you xx

Sukie1971 · 20/09/2011 15:20

Sending you positive thoughts and wishes

Thanks Happygomummy highlove and Sukie1971 for the positive wishes, they really do mean a lot. And yes, posting daily is very cleansing - it's nice to be able to share the stress :)

Stiching - I'm hoping for morning sickness, if I do get I totally expect to whinge a lot about it.

Pregnancy tests didn't arrive today, so I won't be able to test tomorrow (a Good Thing) I am currently veering emotionally between hopeful it has worked and convinced it hasn't.

Still having a lot of crampy periody pains, but nothing else yet...

Grin at hoping for MS!

Glad the sticks didn't arrive tbh - a BFN cos of early testing is soul destroying Sad.

Keeping everything crossed still x

Hard to believe a week has gone by already! Not a lot to report today. I had very vivid dreams again, had to get up in the night to use the loo, and my skin is being suspiciously good for this time of the month. Nothing conclusive there.

I am also getting slight headaches, something I NEVER get, and that on-off crampy sensation. But neither are strong enough to make me hopeful.

Anyway, a busy, long day at work today, so not much time to stress. If the tests arrive today I can see myself caving and testing tomorrow, I hope Royal Mail are a bit rubbish as I really want to hold off until the weekend at least.

Thanks for all the positive thoughts, please keep them coming x

I so hope they're all good signs for you...it's sounding positive.

As stitching says, stay away from those bloody tests as long as you can!

All positive thoughts coming your way x

OracleInaCoracle · 21/09/2011 18:58

All sounds very, very good!

OracleInaCoracle · 21/09/2011 18:58

All sounds very, very good!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 21/09/2011 19:31

Crikey a week already. It definitely sounds positive :) hang in there. Praying for a sticky bean!

StitchingMoss · 21/09/2011 21:25

Sounds very positive Smile.

8 days post transfer, and stupidly early in the morning.

I blame DH - he got up at 5 and is off out with friends for the day.

Symptom spotting continues - headache again last night, then I was in bed by half 9 after a busy day at work. TMI but I feel really wet, lots of CM. Occasional achey pains as well. I'm feeling slightly off colour too, hungry, but not for anything I can think off, and the thought of food makes me feel v slightly queasy.

Quiet day at work today, not entirely sure this is a good thing as it gives me more time to go mental. Unfortunately I think most of my symptoms could be entirely in my head.

My tests arrived yesterday. Plan is to POAS Saturday morning...48 hours to go!

Keeping fingers crossed for you, keep thinking positive.

StitchingMoss · 22/09/2011 17:02

Sounds like you're getting some positive signs there Smile.

Only two more sleeps!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/09/2011 20:18

Sit on those hands for a bit longer!

Loads more symptoms - but I also feel like AF is on her way. So, the list for those of you that are interested...
Crampyness, feeling hungrier than normal but not fancying food, headache, boobs are now slightly sore. Lots of CM.

But also hot/warm flushes to my face, which are a key symptom the few days before AF arrives. If this was a normal cycle I would be expecting her Monday.

Testing tomorrow. I have my Internet cheapies, but may stop and buy a first response on the way home too.

StitchingMoss · 23/09/2011 08:40

This time is so so stressful as the signs of AF can often be the same as the signs of pg Sad.

Lots of positive signs in there so now it's just a case of waiting and hoping . . .

Hope you've got stuff planned today to keep you busy x

MysteriousHamster · 23/09/2011 08:43

Fingers crossed for you, BFP and AF symptoms are so close it's annoying!

Dannygirl · 23/09/2011 20:19

Just wanted to pop in and say good luck x

delilahbelle · 23/09/2011 21:02

Argh! Didn't manage to buy a First Response - both Tesco and Sainsbury had sold out and only had expensive CB digital tests left.

Feeling scared about testing tomorrow. I've had so many hopeful symptoms (today, add in constipation and boobs even more sore) that I'm going to be gutted if I get a BFN. I hope hope hope I get a second line.

Nothing else to add. DH is out with friends tonight, I am relaxing at home with the cats and a family sized bag of crisps. Nom. Going to have a nice hot shower and early night in a bit.

Thinking of you today

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/09/2011 08:34

Still checking on you each day and praying. Take care of yourself!

Well... The result you have all been waiting for... A cautious TWP. That's teeny weeny positive, as I have a line so faint it's nearly not there.

Will be doing more tests, as I can't help but think this one is an evap line / not really there etc etc. And I've been here before with a chemical pregnancy, so no celebration yet.

Eeeek!

Congratulations! Cautiously optimistic for you.
