November/December IVF/ICSI/FET

[StoneMe]

Hi everyone, just had my first down regulation injection this morning with a scan booked for next Thursday. This will be the transfer of my remaining embryo. I had a little boy last year via ICSI so I know I've been very lucky already.

Anyone else starting now?

Negative I’m afraid. My test day was yesterday, which was 13 days past my 3 d transfer. Thanks for asking x

@LillyLeaf I'm not sure - I think ET is day 1 but take it as a rough guide a day either side. My embie was hatching before transferred so was already not quite following this guide. I was having bad cramps before ET (as my AF would have usually come that day!) but the nurse assured me it was the pessaries causing it

Sorry to hear this @Nrg2009 xx

@Nrg2009 I'm so sorry, there are no words for how crappy this is. Look after yourself.

@Wesstywoo I'm totally up for calling today day 5, I've had a few twinges today, I'm trying to not think about it but it's so hard when it's your own body constantly reminding me.

@Nrg2009 So sorry to hear. This whole process sucks xx

@Nrg2009 sorry to hear it! it really sucks! Have you got any frozen embryos?

Thank you all. It was only our first try so suppose it’s luck of the draw isn’t it. I have only one frozen so hopefully they will let me try with that ASAP 😊 xxx

@Russkispy I am ok,quite nervous actually about test date on Monday.I have not been tempted to test before which is good.I bought a cheap test on pouland as I didn't want to spend a fortune 😅 so I hope it doesn't give false results.how are you feeling?@Nrg2009 sorry about that.

@guio thank you and best of luck 🤞 x

@Nrg2009 , hope they will let you do it soon enough. If I had a frozen one I'd have to wait for one cycle, my doctor told. But we don't have any. And if it's BFN on Monday, then will start afresh the following cycle. All over again. Till we get there!
@Guio , I have no desire to test earlier than Monday. Of course I keep thinking of different outcomes but staying positive nevertheless. I don't "listen" to my body and just plodding on. Try to stay calm and relaxed. I know it's hard but added stressed is not good for us.

Had embryo transfer this morning. They said it was a grade 4 blastocyst & was just starting to hatch ...which means very little to me! Find out tomorrow whether any can be frozen. Test date not until Dec 28th 😬

Hi everyone - I had 3 fertilised eggs out of 8 with ICSI and had 2 transferred today. They were morulas, so they hadn't got to blastocyst stage but fingers crossed.

The nurse said I would need to do a test on Boxing Day in 11 days time but the form I had from them said to test in 16 days, so what's the norm?

@rosea19 welldone on your transfer. It looks like we all have totally different amounts of time to wait to test. My clinic gave me a sheet that said test in 14-16 days but gave me an official blood test day which is only 9 days after transfer. I think it does depend on whether it's a blood test or a home Pg test, you can test much earlier with a blood test. I'll have a blood test on Thursday.

Started spotting this afternoon. Only very light at the mo - I hope it doesn't turn into AF because it feels like she's on her way 8dp5dt

Well done @rosea19 and @cantrip on your tramsfers xx

Congratulations @rosea19 and @Cantrip on your transfers! Everything crossed for you
@Wesstywoo have you called your clinic? Mine were very quick to tell me not to worry about spotting and to call them straight away as medication may need adjusting x

@jemimafuddleduck no they told me to continue with pessaries even if I bleed and to test anyway. I'm on 200mg 3 times a day already. They said it is common to have spotting, DH is reminding me they said not to worry!

@rosea19 , my embryo was also a Morula. think it's a good thing. Monday test will tell us all.
@Wesstywoo , sorry you're spotting but this could be anything. Please don't panic and stay calm. Hope it's not AF! Fingers crossed for you!

@Cantrip , well done on ET and hopefully there's a good news on the 28th! Everything crossed for you!

Hi all so sorry for crashing at such a late stage. I had FET on 7th, I’m 9dp5dt today. Last night I caved and tested early (otd 18th) I got BFP. Woke up to brown spotting this morning though. I’ve heard this can happen and emby manages to stick around but I’ve gone from total high to being really worried! @wesstywoo are you still experiencing spotting? Are you getting any cramp?

Hi @Mathie2017 - welcome! And congrats on the BFP! My spotting was pink and very light but it has stopped, it only lasted a couple of hours - I even wonder if it was cervix irritation from the pessaries? Cramping has stopped as well but I've had light cramping on and off since starting the pessaries anyway. My clinic did tell me not to worry about spotting during 2ww and it's quite common - easier said than done when you actually see it though isn't it?!

@wesstywoo thank you, I know it’s early days and shouldn’t have tested but I just gave in! yes it’s so hard not to panic, until that moment everything seemed to be going exactly as it should have. When is your OTD?

More cramps today, it's so hard not to think the worse. I was dreaming about bleeding last night too, got to keep it together before Thursday.

@Mathie2017 my OTD isn't until Friday, they are making me wait ages! Fingers crossed for you that it was just one off bit spotting.

Hang in there @LillyLeaf this 2ww certainly is torturous xx

@LillyLeaf I hate those dreams! They always feel so real and you wake up feeling so down.

Thanks @wesstywoo, nothing more since early this morning. At the loo every 5 mins just to check. I do feel some mild twinges but hoping these are all good signs.

Really hope this week flies in for you ladies!
