IVF May/June cycle buddies #2

Starting a new thread!

Good luck tomorrow @MrsLouB and @HJF84

Thanks for the well wishes for my ET. Just hope it thaws ok and the 2ww can begin!

@MorgenMuffel - oh dont be sorry, you can drop in and out, we only know how stressful this time is. Hope you are well.

@Pattaz2711 - that is enough money to buy a lush outfit or shoes etc!! Put the tests down lady you are preggers!!

@HT2101 - I know the feeling, I have ruled this time out already and OTD is not until 12th July so a while to go yet!
I'm struggling with the lack of decent coffee, instant decafe just does not kick it!!

@Mrbay you had any transfer symptoms yet? I think you are one day ahead of me.

@babysweets85 - it's hard to tell as the progesterone causing lots of side effects so I don't know 🤷‍♀️ but my cervix is high up so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

You??

@Mrbay just really tired and lower stomach ache which feels like a normal AF - worrying me a bit.

@babysweets85 - I expect that the progesterone, so don't panic 😊
I've got lower back ache and very light cramps but it could be pregnancy, it could be the steroids and/progesterone!

@mrbay thanks for the reassurance. I have found it all fairly easy so far but this wait and checking everyday for signs of a period is awful. Need to relax!

@BabySweet85 - I know it's hard not too, I'm the same and then I see it's the horrible gel!! Yuk!

How has everyone been today? Any updates?

@Mrbay and @BabySweet85 I keep worrying about my period starting too, keep rushing to the loo to check!

Lines are getting much darker now, almost as dark as the control line which I'm pleased about but still not 100% reassured. OTD on Saturday. I'm incredibly bloated - I genuinely look about 6 months pregnant from about 3pm onwards and having to wear some interesting outfits to try and hide this at work now that I'm back! I'm hoping the bloating will go soon (???) as I'm usually quite slim and flat chested so I look ridiculous with my huge tummy and I'm hoping to hide the pregnancy until at least 12 weeks (if I get that far). I can't remember being this bloated with DD and she was a FET too.

Hope everyone is doing ok!

@elleceedee that’s great your lines are getting darker. Did you have any cramping? My cramping is definitely noticeable and I’m only 3dp5dt

@BabySweet85 my cramping started on day 1 an still on an off now... hope you feel better lovely.. an good luck..

@elleceedee aw that's so good it's getting darker I'm so pleased for you lovely.. I'm
Hoping to hide mine until 12-14 weeks..
But how high my bloods are I may not be able to lol..

@HT2101 how are my lovely???

How is everyone sorry I haven't checked in lately.. hope your all doing welll

Sending lots of love

@BabySweet85 hopefully the cramping is a good sign! I've had cramping on and off since the start. I keep panicking that it means my period is on its way and then when I stop cramping I panic that my symptoms are disappearing - I'm driving myself mad!

I got 2-3 weeks on a clear blue digital this morning so that's good news. Interested to know when other people have got 3+ weeks. Have you tested again on a digital @Pattaz2711 ? And @ivfgottostaypositive when did you get your 3+?

@HT2101 how's stims going?

Hope everyone is doing ok!

@elleceedee I had that where I kept cramping thinking it's periods.. I still get it .. I have now.. I got 3+ yesteday.. but then my hcg bloods are really high so I don't know.. that's good you got 2-3 weeks how many days past are you again? Last Monday I was 5dp5dt an I got a no. Then the Wednesday I got 2-3 weeks. Then yesteday 3+
I'm 5 weeks today it's says on the chart..

@Pattaz2711 that's great that you've got 3+ now! I'm 11dp5dt today and OTD is tomorrow!

I'm now 16dp5dt that's so good I'm so pleased for you..

It's says on the clear blue that you hcg should be over 2700 before you get 3+ or 5-6 weeks.. so even tho I prob got mine early my hcg is really bloody high lol. Which im scared lol..

@elleceedee I tested on Tuesday when I was 17dp3dt and got 3+. Though that was my first time testing with digital so I don’t know if it would have appeared earlier.

@pattaz2711 why are you scared of your hcg levels being high?

@Dbrook twins lol.. there nurses sort of laughed when they seen how high they was an scared about we'll see when the scans here.. how are you feeling xx

@pattaz2711 oh I see! Well you wait ages for a bus....

I’m feeling ok, very tired but don’t really have any other symptoms which is worrying me. How about you?

@Dbrook I feel sick.. but just soo tired.. an then the stomach cramps an their there all day an a night xx
Oh an mood swings real bad mood swings.. lol

Just saying hello! I've got nothing to add at the mo as no update from me and can't answer any of the test questions 😊

Hi @Mrbay nothing to add here either just sat in the 2ww.

Can I ask about people’s work. Are people back at work rather than working from home? How do you feel about that if you are and going through IVF?

@BabySweet85 I'm back at work and DD back in nursery but I'm able to mostly work from home - grateful for this as I don't really fancy taking the train into central London every day (we live near the Kent/Sussex border). I'm not too worried, just trying to stay on top of good hygiene and wearing a mask on public transport etc. How about you?

@Mrbay hello! when is your OTD?

Hellllo
I have nothing to add minus i am freaking out we have day 5 update tomorrow and im just so scared what if none of them get that far or none are good enough to freeze and i saw on their success rate they have a highr siccess for fresh
And right now f someone said right you need to do this again next month i think id die which makes me even more scared :( i just dont want to take that call fro the nurse have have bad news it happened all the time when the urse caled ti tel me i wasnt pregnant on clomid and stuff

@BabySweet85 - I'm on leave this week but our whole workforce is still WFH and I'll continue to do so for a while yet - saving so much fuel money so I'll continue for as long as poss! You?

@elleceedee - a week on sunday but I'll probably start testing from monday or Tuesday as that'll be day 8 and 9 and last time my fresh cycle failed on day 9. If it fails, I think that's it for me and IVF.

@Mrbay I have been isolating for the last 2 weeks as my clinic gave me a letter. Back in on Monday but only doing two days at work and 3 at home. I feel okay about it as at the moment we are still social distancing.
