Sept IVF/FET Part 2

[Lemongrass1]

For more chat!

Oh gosh @Evey43 they really lay on the stress don’t they! But very glad to hear the ECG was normal - one less thing to worry about!x

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip at least the post egg collection cramps have gone away! This is definitely the weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced. Trying to think of ways to distract myself today - May go for a little walk with other half and have a takeaway later with in laws, and tomorrow cook a roast dinner which should occupy me for a good few hours. Then next week work is starting to get a bit busier so I’ll actually have to go into the office for a few days which will keep my mind off things further. Last night I went to friends for dinner. She checked her phone and she said ohhh so and so is pregnant and got all excited for them. I don’t even know this person and couldn’t care less lol and then played cards against humanity and I had to put some cards back and they really offended me but I did keep the “hormone injections” one and used it for one of them f#k you hormone injections 🤣Xx

@HavingFaith ha that’s okay.you got me wondering if I was counting the days wrong which couldn’t surprise me as my Maths is appalling 😂

@HavingFaith yeah sticking to test day. Booking the day off to deal with the outcome of it so I will feel bad if I did a sneaky test any earlier. I’m meeting a friend on Thursday and would have loved to share the result with her in person if it was positive but I’m going to play by the rules. I was listening to a podcast with Izzy Judd and gabby Logan yesterday and gabby Logan said she was convinced it hadn’t worked as she felt nothing then she got a call from doctor with her blood test results and they were so high it was twins! It was a really good podcast. I went onto listening to another podcast with a holistic therapist and he really pissed me off so I had to turn it off...he just makes money from saying bull s##t and I don’t like that approach 🤨 😂 #negativenancy xx

As my test day is a Monday and I’m teaching I’ll test on the Sunday (day earlier than suggested) and then do the clinic test on the Monday.
This gives me a day to pull myself together if the news isn’t so good. I don’t want to be a wreck as I greet 30 children and parents on the Monday morning - by then I’ll have had time to put on a brave face and then just cry either way with colleagues later in the day!!!

Just for anyone watching or symptoms- as you’ve all said - no symptoms mean nothing. When I got my bfp I had zero symptoms. X

@JandL2020 @UncleBrynsfishingtrip I'm relieved to read that neither of you have symptoms really, I'm a few days behind you but nothing so far, keep squeezing my boobs to see if they hurt but nada! (Well, except they're getting sore from all my rough handling of them 😂) keep trying to remind myself it's normal not to have them, I stupidly watched loads of tww YouTube videos and they all seem to have every symptom under the sun 🙄 next Monday

@AutumnHoping thank you - that's what I wanted to hear!!

Hope everyone is managing to have a fairly relaxing Saturday x

@Eggling 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did ‘rough boob squeezing’ on my first attempt BFN so this time I’m leaving them well alone!!! Ooooh we’ve got the same test day 😁

@JandL2020 I don’t have any symptoms or spotting either but I am a day behind you. The progesterone is giving me sore boobs so wouldn’t know but yeah not sure how far into it you would get symptoms? Or may not get any who knows

@Lemongrass1 I don’t know how you do it, I can’t keep up with this page 😂 Thank you for remembering about me 😊 hope your doing well?

Hospital has just phoned and it’s good news (phew) we have 3 that’s doing well (1 8 cell, 1 9 cell and 1 compacted) the other 2 that were partially fertilised 1 is slightly behind but they haven’t ruled it out yet and the other hasn’t progressed much but I don’t feel too disappointed about that. ET lunch time on Monday 😬 I can breathe again for a little while.

Hahaha @Eggling I’m so glad I’m not the only one feeling my self up every couple hours 🤣 my boobs have never had so much action 🤣

Thanks @JandL2020 I’ll god the Izzy podcast a listen! I’ve finished the bfn podcast at so have a gap to fill lol!

@Evey43 glad to hear ECG was normal!

@JenniferRo28 I’m doing fine! Glad to hear your update this am was promising. Fingers crossed for good news on Mon and the ET!

Ladies on 2WW, no need to fondle your boobs 😂 (although I will be doing the same!). Am another one with zero symptoms with previous BFP. In fact had no symptoms until quite a few weeks into pregnancy. I think week 8/9? X

Gosh is everyone waiting until OTD, I’m super impressed. Self confessed early tester here although I used up all my FRER on last cycle and haven’t bought more to try stop myself this time. There’s always Amazon tho... I suspect you will all be more disciplined than me!

@UnicornPuff @Lemongrass1 she just said it’s something that can come and go from hormones that’s it really, I was to relieved to ask many questions but she did say that a little bit of everything could be aggravating it which is causing the spotting, because when she swiped it, it started bleeding. I just hope that’s what the problem was 🤞🤞🤞 we will see tomorrow

Sorry for a short reply I’m still catching up on everyone’s news.

@JenniferRo28 that sounds promising.

Trying to catch up feel like I’ve missed loads!

I have got myself in a pickle again. My cooker gave myself an electric shock not enough to take myself off my feet but I’ve convinced myself this is the nail in coffin for this cycle.

I now have a brown discharge am convinced I’m out.

I feel totally and utterly helpless.

Oh @thefishthatcouldwish I'm sorry, that sounds really stressful. How many dpt are you? It could be implantation bleeding? Could you ring your clinic and explain - I don't know what if anything they can do but they might be able to reassure you xx

Thanks @Eggling. I am 9 days post 3 day transfer.

I have convinced myself it hasn’t worked.

Evening ladies. What a busy thread.
Good luck to everyone still waiting for their test day! Hope your holding up ☺️

I am currently sitting here keeping everything crossed for a transfer tomoz 🤞🤞🤞
Also wondering if ordering a PIZZA would be completely stupid of me?

Has anyone else been strict diet wise? Also what are your plans for ttw?

@Fightingtobepositive
I think a pizza is essential and totally ok at any stage during ivf. My partner is in the medical world and he encourages pizzas at stressful times!
All the strict diets just add more stress. A balanced diet....yes but this needs to include some carbs and choc otherwise it’d be unbearable. Enjoy your pizza 😋 Xx

@thefishthatcouldwish I’m sorry you feel so down 😔 I really hope it’s implantation bleeding. Excuse my swearing but the whole process is just one big mind fcuk! I’m keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you x

@Fightingtobepositive I haven’t been strict with my diet at all, I do some form of exercise every day, take my vitamins and drink a tonne of water but apart from that Im not tying myself in knots over food. Have your pizza and enjoy every bite x

I’m such a nutcase honestly I did the worst and asked Dr Google read something about gluten intolerance and scared myself away from it 🙈

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip I like your husbands advice, I wish I’d avoided google and came here first 😑 lol.

So many things to obsess about I need to take you ladies @JenniferRo28 advice and enjoy things a bit 💜 xx

@Fightingtobepositive definitely have the pizza! I'm enjoying another cocktail tonight while I can, AF is still nowhere in sight 😒
