TWW Jan/Feb 2020

[41trying]

This is for ladies in there TWW that would like to chat and have a little support!

@Viletta i thought so lol

thank you i will feel happier once i get to test day monday so 12dpt hoping for darker lines x

Hi all, I'm doing my test on Wednesday but I'm not having too much hopes to be a safer side.

What is 12dpt please? So many people use this word in this thread and I have no idea what it means

@Chooklass congratulations on you BFP!!! I've just seen that you had a sharp pain in your vagina. At what stage after the ET did you have it? I had it too, I never experienced it before. What could it mean? My test day is Wednesday.

@notReginaPhalange dpt means 'days past transfer' , so 4dp5dt is 4 days past 5 day transfer (9dpo). Hope that makes sense! X

Thanks @notReginaPhalange ! I think it was a few days past my ET a few times, though I had it again today after we'd been talking about it! I think it's a high progesterone thing? Not sure! X

Hi ladies. This TWW feels so hard. This is my second time doing IVF but first time doing FET and I'm 7DP5DT . So far I've resisted doing any tests. I'm not sure whether to do one on Sunday or try and hold out until Tuesday? I just figured if I get a negative result and then having to drag myself into work might be hard. But at the weekend I can have a good cry in peace!

I found last few days hardest @Buffy101 💐 - you're so close though! I waited until I had a day off so I could deal with the result in my own time xx

Morning all, hope you're doing well today?

Back to work for me today, although kind of wishing I had another day off cause I know it will be super busy, and everyone will be stressing. I guess the distraction will be a good thing, just need to remind myself not to get swept into the stress.

@Chooklass thank you, it makes perfect sense now! I'm 7dp5dt (does
the ET day count as day 1 if it was in the morning? I guess it does?)

Wondering when the test would show and if it would show negative on the test day, would it mean this is it or it could still show positive later?

Another question, does the test need to be done in the morning or in the evening after work is fine?

Hey @Buffy101 you are doing so well i caved at day 5 on the last transfer and this transfer so you keep going not long !

@notReginaPhalange sorry to but in but thought i would add that the day of you ET is day 0 does not matter at what time of day it is done xx

@MrsLouB, oh right, then I'm 6dp5dt... is it too early to poas?

er alot of people will say yes and you may still get a negative you would be better off waiting till atleast 7- 9dp5dt

But then i started at 5dpt and got a very very very faint line which has continued but you then put yourself in the bad place of needing to see a line darken ( well i have) i wish i had waited for nearer my test day like today 9dpt xxx good luck

@MrsLouB thank you for your advice. I better wait, you're right, my test day is Thursday which will be 12dp5dt but I might then do the test on Friday, the next day because then I will have a weekend ahead to deal with the result...

Hi everyone, I’ve been silently reading through this thread for a while, I feel like I know you all already!

Today I had a day 5 blastocyst transferred, so the clock starts ticking now...

I was a bit deflated to be told just before the transfer that it was a 3bc blastocyst and I’m doing my best not to get hung up on the numbers (or frantically google stats)...

Hoping for the best outcome for everyone! X

Welcome @DobbieFreeElf and congrats on your transfer!! Don't worry too much about numbers - your little embie is more likely to thrive now it's back in its natural habitat! X

@Minster2012 hop over here congrats on the transfer!

@DobbieFreeElf welcome and wishing you luck and congrats on your transfer xxx

Hi!!
I’m not sure if this is just for IVF ladies or not but I’ve had a read through the past few pages & lots of ppl seem to be talking about transfers so I guess so! There seems to be a few BFPs so congrats ladies!

Thanks @Lily999, I had a 5day blast frozen transfer this morning, well, 11.45!

We already have a DS from a FET 2 years ago who was transferred to my best friend as a host surrogate for us as at the time I couldn’t stop my chemo without losing it, despite being in remission & stable for 3 years at that point. Now 5 years after starting it I finally got the go ahead to stop it & have ongoing CT scans to say I can have it again if it comes back so it’s my turn now!!

So we had 3 embryos left, a day 3 which was the same EC from when our son cans from (we got 2 embryos then both frozen day 3) then we did another EC & got 2 day 5.

Transferred a day 5 (graded 4CB???) this morning

I’m gonna go crazy in TWW with an active toddler & only my best mate knows we are doing this again (we did it in secret to her last time too) 🤦🏼‍♀️🙈😫so scared

Hi @Minster2012! Coincidentally my transfer was at exactly the same time as yours today! We’re also trying to conceive #2, although our first was naturally conceived so everything about the last month has been new to us! Your best friend must be a very special person, I really hope that you get to enjoy the feeling of pregnancy this time! X

Hi Ladies! It's Sweets here. I joined the Dec/Jan group and then went missing but i've been lurking. Just finding the whole process completely all consuming and the news that I received today has finally driven me to the END of my sanity.
I knew that I could message here for some support.
So, I've been in the TWW as I had my egg retreival on 27th February. They only retrieved 2 eggs which fertilised fine. I was told to come in for a day 3 transfer because I only had 2 and they wanted to just put them back in and see what happens as they might not last til day 5. I was cool with that. Went to Egg Transfer appointment only to be told that my little embryos are really poor quality and cells not dividing as quickly as they should but that they were going to put them back in me anyway because being slow doesn't mean that they won't implant and do well once inside.

Sooooo I've been waiting, waiting, waiting and DID NOT EVEN PEE ON A STICK the ENTIRE 2 WEEKS because I wanted a clear definitive answer which i thought only a blood test would give me.

Today I went to my clinic to get my blood test. They just told me that i had a positive blood test but that I need to come back into the clinic on monday to take another blood test because my by beta numbers are only 51.3 iu/l and they would expect it to be over 100 iu/l. They want to see if my numbers have increased by monday or if i'm basically having a chemical pregnancy..

I was like, just give it to me straight. Has any one had the numbers that I have and sustained a pregnancy?

So I. Just. Can't. I'm borderline? Every step of the way for me has been just soooooo grey. I like black and white. yes or no. I was so ready for a clear answer today so that I could move on with my life and think about next steps...I am of "Advanced Maternal Age" lol as well so every moment waiting is my poor little remaining eggs drying up...

Sorry for the long message.
Talk me off of the ciff.. Please :-)

Meant egg transfer on 27th January! I can't even think straight

@dobbieFreeElf wow proper buddies then! Yes she is special & thank you! I hope we both get lucky for number two!

My dogs are looking at me like “why aren’t we walking again this afternoon?” They’ll have to wait for DH to get back again!

Ps I think I’ll be awful if pregnant my body is notoriously rubbish!! I get sick at anything so I don’t think it would be good but willing to try!! 😂

That's interesting that your clinic uses 100iu as the cut off @Sweets208 - how many dpt were you? My clinic said anything greater than 50iu was positive and anything between 25-50iu would be borderline and would require monitoring, but we tested at 9dp5dt. Did you test later than that, which might explain the difference in the cut off?

@BambiOnIce80 I had the Transfer on 27th January so I think that would make me 11dp5dt?

Hello to all the new girls on this thread and welcome 👋.

@Minster2012 your story made me smile, what a friend! Got my fingers crossed for you ❤️

@Sweets208 unfortunately with anything ivf it's all about the wait. You are PUPO and there's nothing you can do until Monday, worrying won't help the situation so my advice is to plan activities that will take your mind off the situation. Do you have any hobbies? Movies you want to watch? Dog to walk? If you can get out of the house even better, The wait might feel long but you can do it. Btw, I'm part of the patients girl club, can you tell? 😇😅
