I've just passed the baby. Literally just flushed my dreams down the toilet. What the fuck is this shit?

@pleaseletitbeme Hope it is good news, and not bad, loads of people have cramps. Thinking of you. CakeFlowers

@AliceAbsolum I'm so sorry you are going through this, it is so unfair. I know there is nothing we can say to make it better but we are here to listen. Big hugs xx

Wesstywoo · 11/12/2019 07:04

@Pleaseletitbeme hopefully cramps are a good sign. Zero symptoms for me - have mentally checked out of this cycle I think. Just need to get OTD and xmas out the way so we can speak to the clinic to see if we have any further options

Russkispy · 11/12/2019 07:20

@AliceAbsolum so sorry. big hugs. 

@Pleaseletitbeme hope AF stays away!

@Wesstywoo when is your OTD? Never had any symptoms during tww. I know we all experience it differently and hope there's a BFP st the end of it 🤞🏻

Wesstywoo · 11/12/2019 07:47

@Russkispy thanks - it is 22nd but the embryologist was pretty sure it wasn't going to make blast unfortunately

Pleaseletitbeme · 11/12/2019 22:02

How is everyone doing today?
I’ve got full on period pain aches. So guess AF will be here within the week.
Also my resting heart rate is dropping- this has always been a reliable indicator that things haven’t gone to plan... good old fit bit.
I just wish AF would hurry up so I can stop the injections. I am mightily sick of them now. They hurt and I’ve just had enough.
Love to you all xxx

WorriedButterfly · 11/12/2019 22:10

@Pleaseletitbeme I am very crampy too, was hopeful it might be the injections- I've not had them before. My mood is pretty low from progesterone- I really struggle with it.

Pleaseletitbeme · 11/12/2019 22:21

WB. I’m so tired of this whole thing right now. I was such a positive person before I embarked upon this. Now I’m fat and grumpy hahahahaha.... it hasn’t quite taken my sense of humour though.
Sending you a big hug.

Wesstywoo · 12/12/2019 07:42

Same - cramps were a good sign for me on my previous 2 transfers (although both ended as CPs). This time literally NOTHING. I'm alternating sides with the injections but ouch, it's starting to get really sore injecting in almost the same place every day. Feeling bruised and grumpy!!!! Keep going lovely ladies xxx

TTCRose · 12/12/2019 16:05

Girls...I'm 6dp2dt and really symptom spotting. Feeling tired today but just think it's due to working quite a lot recently. Also getting occasional cramps. oh and some spots but guessing that's progesterone 🤔

So want to test but as it's an early transfer i know there's no point and my transfer didn't go exactly to plan!

Anyone in or been in a similar situation?

Oh and with testing what do you think is best...pee directly onto test or pee into container and dip test in?

Pleaseletitbeme · 12/12/2019 16:26

Rose, i would wait if I were you. It’s very early to test and also a very early embryo.
It’s so hard but stay strong and leave the tests alone until your OTD or near to it.
Good luck and I do so hope you get that BFP nearer the time.

Wesstywoo · 12/12/2019 17:06

@TTCRose I would wait too - the embryo wouldn't be producing enough HCG yet to be detected by a test! xx

TTCRose · 12/12/2019 17:51

Thanks @Pleaseletitbeme @Wesstywoo

You need patience of a saint in this game!!

Pleaseletitbeme · 12/12/2019 17:55

Rose, we are in the same boat...... it’s not plain sailing and is a very rough old journey. Xxx

Russkispy · 12/12/2019 18:34

@AliceAbsolum just checking to see how you're doing Thanks

WorriedButterfly · 12/12/2019 22:43

I've had two major cries today...uncontrollable! Not like me, I can only think it's the progesterone. This is so hard! (Sorry for stating the obvious!) hope you're hanging in there girls.

@TTCRose I wouldn't test yet, give it a few more days at least. X

In pain. Angry, numb. Just can't get my head around it. Starting to get angry at myself for having had some hope. I really thought I'd be pregnant over Christmas. What a twat.

Oh @AliceAbsolum I am so sorry. This is totally shit. There are no words xx

Pleaseletitbeme · 13/12/2019 13:37

WB. I am so very teary too. I’ve a constant bad headache, twingey constant mild cramps. My resting heart rate has gone right down too.
I just want OTD to come so that I can stop the progesterone.

Alice. I feel for you I really do. I so wanted to be pregnant at Xmas too. Sending my love. Xxxx

Russkispy · 13/12/2019 15:53

It's just shit shit shit all around and especially around this time of the year. Hard! Sad

TTCRose · 14/12/2019 15:48

How's everyone else x

Wesstywoo · 14/12/2019 16:14

@TTCRose 7dp3dt and still feeling completely normal! When is your OTD?

Pleaseletitbeme · 14/12/2019 16:26

Did FRER this morning BFN

TTCRose · 14/12/2019 16:26

@Wesstywoo 20th...how about you?

Could be a bug/virus lots if things going around! X

TTCRose · 14/12/2019 16:28
