@TTCRose 22nd but I won't last that long, I've got some FRERs on the way

@Pleaseletitbeme sorry to hear that Sad when is your OTD?

Pleaseletitbeme · 14/12/2019 16:45

OTD Thursday. However previous 2 cycles have all been positive at this stage.
I’ll retest OTD too.
Hey-ho

mouse1234567 · 15/12/2019 08:36

@AliceAbsolum I’m so devastated for you to read that you are miscarrying. I’m so very sorry -what a tough situation for you to endure.

@Pleaseletitbeme I’m so sorry you aren’t testing positive -you have had such a tough journey.

Those of you waiting to test -I have everything crossed for you. The waiting and the hoping is so hard.

Maggie272 · 15/12/2019 14:59

Hope it's ok to jump on here xx
Tested early, 5dp5dt, yesterday, and it's positive. Cramping, dizzy and have white discharge (sorry, tmi!). Last two ended in cp.

Reading some of the posts here, it's so hard. Sending love xxx

Wesstywoo · 15/12/2019 16:46

@Maggie272 congrats on the BFP. When is your OTD?

BFN for me at 8dp3dt (equivalent 6dp5dt) - was positive at this stage last time and that was a CP so definitely out! Had cramps start in the last 24 hours too.

Hope everyone is ok xx

Maggie272 · 15/12/2019 17:24

@Wesstywoo OTD is 22nd. Not counting my chickens but hopeful. Sorry about your bfn, it can be so cruel xx

Pleaseletitbeme · 15/12/2019 17:59

WW.
Sorry to hear about you BFN.
I’m not terribly upset now about my BFN.... I think the upset came when only one egg was retrieved.
I’ve bought some new trainers and I’m going to hit the gym big style after my OTD on Thursday.

Wesstywoo · 15/12/2019 18:04

Thanks - same here as the BFN was expected, I was more sad about the disasterous response to stims and EC. Considering whether to change clinics or stick with this one next time. Suppose it depends what they say in my follow up.

Does anyone know when you can do a fet after miscarriage? Just wondering if it'll be a 3 month job

Hi Alice.
When I had my d&c I bled 2 weeks then took 5 weeks for Af to return then started meds for FRozen transfer xxx

Russkispy · 15/12/2019 23:08

@Pleaseletitbeme @Wesstywoo sorry to hear about BFN. It just sucks.

@Maggie272 congratulations on BFP

@AliceAbsolum how are you holding up?

AFM, had a hysteroscopy/scratch done and bloods drawn for various tests and now waiting for results. And transfer is pencilled in next month

Russkispy · 15/12/2019 23:20

@WorriedButterfly @Viletta @TTCRose how are you doing/feeling?

Maggie272 · 16/12/2019 09:48

@WorriedButterfly I hope you are doing well. I was reading back over the posts and saw that you were feeling low on the hormones - they are so tough, and hit me hard too. So just sending some support and love xxx

Viletta · 16/12/2019 10:09

@AliceAbsolum I am so sorry:(( hope you are coping. What a shot journey that is. Why miscarriages are so frequent with IVF... it's unfair on its own. Sending you positive vibes and hope one day this shot journey will be truly over and you'll find you happiness with the little one!

@Pleaseletitbeme so sorry to hear about your bfn.

I am alright. I have tried to forget about IVF as much as possible this December and it kind of worked. Hired a health coach to lose some weight, sounds like a pointless task around Christmas but it helps to stay sane.

Viletta · 16/12/2019 10:27

Heard a phrase that a person should have a tragic hardship to define and grow the personality. Maybe this is it for us..

TTCRose · 16/12/2019 10:33

@Russkispy Thanks for asking...feeling a bit sad today. Been for beta HCG bloods. Will hear later today...in 10dp2dt. Not holding up much hope as transfer didn't go to plan! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 though x

Wesstywoo · 16/12/2019 13:31

Fingers crossed for you @TTCRose xx

Pleaseletitbeme · 16/12/2019 14:45

I retested today neg again.
I’m stopping the progesterone and will see about another round in 2020.
What a fucking shit year 2019 has been.

WorriedButterfly · 16/12/2019 14:50

Hope it's good news @TTCRose 🤞🏼

I'm ok - thanks for checking in @Maggie272 & @Russkispy, just trying to keep going with Christmas prep to keep my spirts up. I'm very up and down. My ovaries have been a bit less painful though.

Sorry to hear your BFNs @Wesstywoo & @Pleaseletitbeme, do you think you'll do another cycle. I've found this cycle the most draining- I think it's the progesterone. 😰

TTCRose · 16/12/2019 14:59

Sad news...BFN 😢 it's hit me harder than I though! Thanks @WorriedButterfly@@Wesstywoo for thinking of me...

Thinking of all you girls too xx

Wesstywoo · 16/12/2019 16:08

@TTCRose sorry to hear this, it's so tough. Take care of yourself xxxx

@WorriedButterfly hope you are ok, not long to go until OTD?

I will do another cycle as soon as I can. OTD isn't actually until Sunday so I'm not going to get any new ideas from the clinic this side of xmas. I'll see what they say and also get a second opinion although I suppose moving clinics will mean another SA and other tests. Hard to know what to do for the best!!

Sorry to hear about another BFN @Pleaseletitbeme xxxx

@pleaseletitbeme Your otd is not til Thursday? It's Monday today...why stop your meds?...just incase? 😞

Pleaseletitbeme · 16/12/2019 17:22

Alice, there’s not a hope.... I have no pregnancy signs. Resting heart rate which has always been my reliable indicator has returned to normal. Two FRERs 48 hours apart are negative. I don’t see how things would change in 72hours? Xxx

Hopingforbabyd · 16/12/2019 20:25

Hi ladies, just thought I'd check in as I haven't popped on for a while. Sending you all so much love and support at these tough times, my heart feels so sad when I have read back on the past couple week posts 😞 easy for me to say, but keep going ladies you are all amazing and so incredibly tough...never underestimate yourselves ❤️

WorriedButterfly · 16/12/2019 22:52

Sorry to hear that @TTCRose x
