Had a quick look through but can't find an existing thread. Anyone due to cycle in August after a bit of moral support?

We are due to start our 2nd cycle of icsi for male azoospermia and my premature ovarian aging (full house for us!)

Chin up @Mseddy try and have a relaxing weekend with DH

@YouCanButTry looks like we're transfer buddies! I'm in at 12:30 on Wednesday!

@Elly1685 try not to panic - remember we're just used to jumping straight to worst case scenario. Look after yourself ❤️

@Custardandcream thanks! Feels like Wednesday is forever away 😂

Is anyone else on lubion injections? I already feel like it's playing havoc with my hormones but I don't know if it's just comedown after all the ovaleap etc? I feel really low and needy...

Morning everyone.

Was planning on catching up on all the news from yesterday this morning- but have been totally thrown by brown discharge this morning :(

Am 7dp5dt, was planning to test tomorrow, but now feel that all is lost. I know it could be implantation, but it feels a bit late for that. I have fluttery cramps too, although have had those on and off since transfer. I think this feels different though.

Beating myself up that i overdid it walking the last couple of days.

@Lepatz please don't beat yourself up about the walking, whatever the outcome is it wont be because you've overdone it. Our bodies are going to do what they're going to do at this stage! One of the nurses at my clinic recommended getting out for a good daily walk, both for the physical and mental benefits. The discharge and cramps could be something and nothing, we all read so much into different symptoms right now, its totally understandable but try not to let it stress you out

kikisparks · 30/08/2020 09:13

@Lepatz so sorry you are feeling that way but 7dp5dt is not at all too late for implantation bleeding. Especially brown- that is old blood, could be from implantation a couple of days ago. Cramps are a common sign of early pregnancy.

Also walking will make absolutely no difference- it might even help as it can be good to get blood flow to the uterus, please don’t beat yourself up. Flowers

@Elly1685 I’m so sorry you’re going through this, I hope they can give you a clear answer soon ❤️

@YouCanButTry great news on the embryos!!

@West2401 the lubion is making me an insane person. It’s the first time I’ve had it, previously been on pessaries and I’ve been moody, dizzy and yesterday I cried because I missed the food man 🤦🏻‍♀️ my poor husbands gone into hiding!

Think I’ll be in the tww with you guys and I’m Tuesday for transfer xxx

@Lepatz sorry you are feeling rubbish. It could be late implantation bleeding. And I don't think your walk would have overdone it. Imagine all the people who don't know they have an embryo on board and the exercise they do and still get pregnant! You certainly are not out. I was stupid and tested yesterday and 5pd5pt because I knew there was a small chance that it might have shown up. It was obviously a BFN and then I spent the rest of the day feeling shit about it. I haven't tested again today because I need a day of hope after a day of dispair yesterday. Its still really early days for both of us and we just need to try and hang on to hope for a few more days.

@Lepatz don't be disheartened, it could be implantation bleeding. Your walk certainly won't have overdone it - I've trained a client weightlifting through pregnancy so our bodies are capable of so much more than you think. Don't put that pressure on yourself, remember how far you've come already.

@MrsT36 this is so reassuring- I go from wanting to cry to highly anxious to nauseous and dizzy so quickly. So relieved it's not just me! I think my husband is ready to run away 🙈

Elly1685 · 30/08/2020 12:51

@Lepatz try not to be too hard on yourself. It could be positive and just be implantation bleeding! I know in the past on my failed cycles I’ve blamed myself for doing too much but I think In reality that’s none sense. Besides walking is good for your physical and mental well being!

@Mseddy it’s way too soon for testing! I wish you luck and strength to get through the next few days. The 2WW is the worst.

I’m back at the clinic for another hcg. They’ve said they’ll try and get the results to me today but it will probably be tomorrow morning. I’m so convinced it’s ectopic that I’m willing my hcg to go down now and it actually be a chemical so I can try again next month with a FET and not go through the injection for ectopic again. Weird how one day you’re praying for a positive test and the next you’re praying for it to be negative 🤷‍♀️

West2401 · 30/08/2020 13:42

This might seem like a stupid question, but here goes.

Does anyone know if grief affects transfer?

@West2401 no question is stupid. I doubt it does. I know alot of people say you should think positive etc. But the science side of me says science will do its thing regardless of mental attitude. Are you OK??

So I got my BFP this afternoon. My first one ever. I actually can't believe it and I'm not sure if my DH actually does! Grin I'm only 6dp5dt so it's VERY early days, but I'm just happy we have gotten this far at least! It was quite a strong line on a FRER!

Congratulations!!!! That's wonderful news!! Well done

@Mseddy fantastic! Huge congratulations! Smile

@Elly1685 thinking of you, that’s so hard to deal with, hope you get the results soon.

Thanks guys. Im still a little in shock!

@MrsT36 OTD is a week tomorrow so it's really early days!! But I'm trying to be super positive. We've never been in this position before so I don't really know how to feel! I'm excited and petrified all at the same time

Hope you got your results, thinking of you and hoping it's better news than you think

@Lepatz don’t beat yourself up about the walking, I really don’t think it will have affected anything. Hope you’re ok

@Mseddy congratulations!

West2401 · 31/08/2020 04:16

@Mseddy congratulations!!! So pleased for you!!!!

We lost my father in law really suddenly yesterday in a traffic accident and all trying to process it. I thought maybe DH would want to postpone with everything going on but he's determined to go ahead. I just feel numb and don't really know how to help anyone, definitely not helped by all these hormones floating around. I'm also of the mindset that I want to push through but don't know if this would affect anything.

2020 - enough now.

loulamay · 31/08/2020 06:14

@West2401 - I am so so sorry. What an incredible shock that must have been for both of you. Only you can know what to do and how you both feel. I think that stress can play a huge role in this process and so it's not a factor to ignore, but if you both feel ready to go ahead then I don't think there is a right or wrong decision. Xxxxx

@Mseddy - incredible news!!

kikisparks · 31/08/2020 06:30

@West2401 I am so very sorry for your loss Flowers

@West2401 I am so so sorry to hear this. That is awful news. I think only you and DH know what is right. Also I would consider the outcome. If a negative outcome from this is going to add to your grief then maybe a freeze all and go for it in a few months when you have both processed things might help? But also on the flip side, if you go ahead and then get a bfp, that would be wonderful news and may help you both process your greif for FIL better Flowers
