@Zillenial I didn't either time however in googling my tww cramps I see that cramping after transfer appears common. Something to do with the catheter being put in I think. If it's worrying you just give your clinic a call and hopefully they will reassure you. X

Rovera12 · 29/07/2020 15:26

@Glitterandunicorns I am a very strong woman, I know that for sure.

@SpyroC I had to be back at work as I will be off for two week wait.

Rovera12 · 29/07/2020 15:27

@Zillenial congrats on being PUPO.

Hi ladies, been a while
Since I have been on these boards (lockdown etc) so though I'd
Come back on. Still recognise some of the names here!

I had my frozen embryo transfer on Monday, so in the dreaded 2ww

Hope everyone is okay and moving forward x

Glitterandunicorns · 29/07/2020 15:47

@SpyroC I'm so glad the nurse reassured you.

@Zillenial congratulations on being PUPO! I'm sure it's normal after the transfer process.

@bunhead34 congratulations on being PUPO! Hope your TWW passes quickly!

Zillenial · 29/07/2020 22:04

Thank you ladies, the slight cramping has passed now so not sure what to think of it. Will keep an eye on it!

Not sure how I'll cope with the TWW at this rate 😂

Hi ladies, I had my transfer today! This morning out of our three embryos we had one that was looking great, and two that it was unclear if they were slow or had stopped growing. I was called in for my transfer this morning.

When I got there, one of the other two had grown a bit more, so they transferred two! They nurses and embryologist were so very kind. They gave me a picture of the embryos they transferred. I'll have a blood test in a week and a half, so we'll see how things go!

@Zillenial the nurse told me today that it's normal to be a bit crampy the day or so after the transfer, and that it's because they've gone in through the cervix. I'm pleased to hear you're feeling better now though!

Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

@Glitterandunicorns congratulations on being PUPO. Good luck with the wait. Fingers crossed for you xx

KittyFoster · 30/07/2020 17:00

Congratulations @Glitterandunicorns @Zillenial @bunhead34 on being PUPO!! Enjoy this time xxx when is your OTD?

I have my transfer scheduled for tomorrow and I’m feeling very nervous and excited now! I cannot believe that we finally got to this stage and I’m scared that something will go wrong at the last minute😑

Glitterandunicorns · 30/07/2020 17:08

Thanks so much @Bestofyou1982 and @KittyFoster! My OTD is Monday 10th. How exciting that you've got your transfer tomorrow Kitty! I felt exactly the same about mine. I hope it goes well!

KittyFoster · 30/07/2020 17:33

Thank you @Glitterandunicorns. Hopefully we will be celebrating together in about a fortnight!

Bestofyou1982 · 30/07/2020 17:42

@KittyFoster Good luck for tomorrow.

SpyroC · 30/07/2020 18:51

Congratulations on being pupo! @Glitterandunicorns and @bunhead34 x

I hope tomorrow goes well @KittyFoster x

Not good news here. I had bad endo pains last night and this morning just like I would normally have on the first day of my period. I'm 10dp5dt so it would have been due today or yesterday. This is exactly what happened last cycle. I was 95% sure it hadn't worked last night so we decided to do an early test this morning to stop the torment. It was obviously negative. We were gutted obviously but it was not a surprise after all the endo pain. I will still test on otd just in case but in my heart I know it's over. I actually feel better for testing as I really was going mad.

Zillenial · 30/07/2020 19:13

@KittyFoster @Glitterandunicorns

Thank you ladies.

OTD is the 8th... so just over a week away 😭
Today I feel more that there is a bit of "pressure" in my abdomen.

Hoping there are more symptoms soon 🥰

Rovera12 · 30/07/2020 19:15

@SpyroC I am sorry you got a negative. My advice is don’t just give up, try again on OTD. Keeping my fingers crossed.

@Glitterandunicorns @bunhead34 congratulations on being PUPO.

Who hung you the best of luck tomoro @KittyFoster.

@RosettaR @Bestofyou1982 how are u guys doing ?

I get to hear my day Embryo update tomorrow .

Janefx40 · 30/07/2020 19:32

@SpyroC so sorry about the negative test. It is gutting I know. I understand what you mean about needing to just end the uncertainty. It's possible things will go better on your OTD. We all work differently. Some people prefer to cling to hope, others find it easier to "accept" that it has failed and be pleasantly surprised if not. Just take care of yourself.

@Glitterandunicorns @Zillenial @bunhead34 congrats on your transfer.

@KittyFoster good luck tomorrow

Xxx

Glitterandunicorns · 30/07/2020 20:05

@SpyroC oh love, I'm so sorry to hear that. I really hope things are different on your OTD.

Glitterandunicorns · 30/07/2020 20:20

@Janefx40 thank you so much.

@Rovera12 best of luck for your update tomorrow.

Rovera12 · 31/07/2020 10:55

Hello ladies day 3 update all 6 embryos going good, nothing to worry about for now according to the embryologist .

Another 2 days wait. Praying all goes well 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Glitterandunicorns · 31/07/2020 11:22

That's amazing news, @Rovera12! I hope they keep growing well!

KittyFoster · 31/07/2020 16:15

Hello ladies😊 thank you so much for the best wishes, we had the transfer earlier today and thankfully everything went well. I was very emotional before the procedure but feeling super happy now. OTD is on the 10th

@Rovera12 that is fantastic news! Will be thinking about you and hoping you get further positive news. Will you get an update on Sunday now, or Monday?

I’m so sorry about your news @SpyroC and that you are in pain 💐 I hope you get different news on OTD. Please take care of yourself

Glitterandunicorns · 31/07/2020 17:58

@KittyFoster congratulations on being PUPO! We are OTD twins! I'm glad you're feeling happy after it.

Do you stay out there until OTD or do you come back to the UK now?

SpyroC · 31/07/2020 18:23

Thanks all for your kind words. The bleeding is getting close to a period now but my clinic have still said to continue with the progesterone support which feels weird!

@Janefx40 yup that is exactly how I feel.

That's amazing @Rovera12 ! I'd love to be told not to worry at that stage as that's where our problems always start.

Congratulations on being pupo @KittyFoster !

Rovera12 · 31/07/2020 18:49

@KittyFoster congratulations on being PUPO, no more update as I have been booked for transfer on Sunday morning.

@SpyroC yes I know the last cycle I was told on dat 3 things were ok but they also confirmed some where lacking behind.
