Cycle buddies April/May

[Summerloving17]

Hi ladies, just wondered if anyone wants to hold hands as we go through a cycle?

After a failed fresh cycle earlier this year, I’m starting my progynova today with a planned FET for May.

Would love some company x

Hi @bangsaklove, I didn't get an implantation bleed either. So, sorry I can't help with that specific question. But if you can hold off until your OTD, please do. 6dp5dt may be too early to test and you might worry yourself for nothing. Fingers crossed things settle soon.

Hi @bangsaklove I didn't have an implantation bleed either, sorry. But I do remember the doctor saying some bleeding was possible and didn't necessarily mean a failed cycle. Hope you are okay x

@rainylake @ southernbella74 @hoping2018 @si1ver thank you very much for your kind words. I keep trying to tell myself its the mythical implantation bleed but I dont really believe that and have sobbed till my eyes are red raw. I think thats the hardest thing....I think it is AF but as only7dp5dt how can I be sure. Take a test I guess but still a little early.....going to have a glass of wine tonight anyway, as I am sure this is AF just feels like it with mild cramps too. of course will continue madly googling like an insane person.....;)
In my heart of hearts I do feel this isn't the one.....will try and focus on my frosties.
@southernbella I hope you pregnancy is going well and for anyone else who got their lovely BFPs xx

bangsaklove Sorry to hear you are having a touch day. Ivf is such a drain on the emotions, it's horrific. I know it's not much of a consolation to you right now, but many of us understand exactly what you are going through. Sending lots of love.
If it's any help, I did have a very small amount of 'pink' bleeding around this time and constant cramps. At 7/8dp3dt I thought it was all over. Has the bleeding stopped? It is still very early for you to test, so try to hang on in there.
Take care x

@bangsaklove sorry to hear that you're having a rough time of it. When's your official test date? I'm still feeling crap. Ivf is without doubt the toughest thing I've done. Be kind to yourself.

For you ladies that got a bfn when did you get your period? I still haven't had one. Doing my head in somewhat. Maybe I'll start shifting some weight when it's been, as the gym isn't helping me loose atm 😏

[hoping2018]

Hi @picklesandpetals , do you mean when did period come after the BFN bleed. Mine was 3 days late but I know my friends was weeks late so I think it varies a lot. My weight goes up massively before my period!

@bangsaklove sorry your struggling - they say bleeding is common so you're not out til OTD - when is it? X

[picklesandpetals]

@hoping2018 I haven't really had a bleed since bfn. A tiny amount of spotting, definitely not a proper bleed. I'm huge atm, I'm nearly a stone heavier than when I started the ivf cycle 😩. Is this what you mean too? You're heavier following ivf and waiting for proper period? Or did you mean every month heavier?

[hoping2018]

Hi @picklesandpetals, I just meant my weight goes up loads before periods in general. I was lucky enough to get a bfp this cycle and interestingly dropped 10lbs in a Month despite knowing I was pregnant as all my OHSS symptoms returned? So odd as I am super bloated but weight has gone down loads.

Normally I gain several lbs pre period though and particularly noticed this first natural period post bfn last cycle x

[picklesandpetals]

@bangsaklove hey. Checking in on how you are. Have you done your test yet? Hope you had a positive outcome x

Hey, was just wondering if anyone had experienced a frozen cycle and used cyclogest and pregynova. In non medicated cycles I have always bled while on cyclogest. Does anyone know if pregynova prevents AF from showing up? Would really appreciate anyone’s advice
