Sept IVF/FET Part 2

[Lemongrass1]

For more chat!

@thefishthatcouldwish I really can't see that a tiny shock will make a difference. The brown spotting you are having can not have any link to an electric shock. Brown = old blood. It could be anything from a little bit of trauma at the ET to potential implantation from a couple of days ago. Try to not stress about it, but even if you do I promise brown means old so not linked at all.

@Fightingtobepositive pizza is good for you! Enjoy! I had pizza for lunch and it is worth it!

I have had minimal symptoms on and off sore boobs and on and off cramps. Which I am also sure is the progesterone. Today my cramps seem to have really gone up a notch which I am sure means nothing but adds more stress.

I dont know if anyone remembers but I obsessed about my RHR for a while. I turned my HR monitor off on my watch and that lasted a day! Other than increasing when I started progesterone from 64 to 68 I have pretty much consistently stayed at 68-70 so no massive rise that indicated i would get a BFP. Just for anyone else watching theirs!

@UnicornPuff thanks that makes sense. Made me feel instantly better.

The whole ivf processes is so full of ups and downs. It’s very gruelling isn’t it.

So my friend has just told me she’s pregnant. I’m v happy for her but after convincing myself that we will be ok if we get a BFN I now desperately want to be pregnant again and can’t help thinking it would be so good to be on mat leave together. Argh!

@ivfjourney5 you enjoy that cocktail and enjoy another too... I’m keeping everything crossed for something soon for you.

So I caved Dominoes in the way 😲

@UnicornPuff try to stay positive ☺️ Sending you lots of luck. I also obsess over my rhr but I’ll be taking it off after tomorrow or it’ll take over me!

@ivfjourney5 argh just turn up already AF! Enjoy your cocktails in the meantime xx 🍹

We had pizza for dinner tonight as I'm wiped out. ET was successful, we even have a USB of the egg fertilising and developing, it's quite amazing and managed to see the little flash of the embryo being deployed into my womb. It was rather painful due to a previous c section scar and I was shaking, even had a cry when i got to the car. I'm feeling so drained but can't switch off. Testing day is September 30th.

@Rumtopf I felt tired after transfer too but was amazed by seeing the video on the screen.

Pizza sounds just right. My clinic said at this point nothing will improve chances.

I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I am 11 days post 3 day transfer but I think the hgc from trigger would be out of body by now?!

Have tried to Add a pic.

Am not 11 days am 10. Sorry all for the three consecutive messages.

@thefishthatcouldwish I cant imagine the trigger would still be there! And that's 2 lines!! When is your OTD?

@thefishthatcouldwish congratulations!! I think hcg should be well gone by now so that looks like a BFP to me! When is OTD? It must be soon!

@UnicornPuff and @Eggling not until Thursday. My clinic like to test 14 days after transfer.

Never had a positive test in 5 years. I have fingers and toes crossed.

@thefishthatcouldwish
Keeping everything crossed for you too!!! Wohooooooo!!! Xx

@thefishthatcouldwish I am so happy for you. I hope you managed to get back to sleep!
I was so crampy yesterday that I tested again this morning and the line is slightly darker which has calmed me down. I told DH I would need to go and buy more! I am going to try not to as it was actually a really stressful wait! I am just going to try enjoy the next couple of weeks of being pregnant!

@thefishthatcouldwish massive congratulations!! That’s the best news!!xx

@thefishthatcouldwish huge congratulations!!! Xx

Massive congrats @thefishthatcouldwish that’s brilliant news

@thefishthatcouldwish 🥳 enjoy those 2 lines you deserve it! Congrats xx

I’m holding out until test day cos I’m a teachers pet 🤣

I’m testing slightly earlier as I started spotting yesterday which I hope/think is implantation bleeding. We are both so hopeful and very excited! Xx

@thefishthatcouldwish
Have you had any symptoms at all? Xx

@thefishthatcouldwish amazing news, congratulations 💕 x

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip fingers crossed for you. No real symptoms boobs maybe look different (according to DH). I dunno 🤷‍♀️ hard to work out what is progesterone or what is actual symptoms.

@UnicornPuff glad the other test was darker. It really is a rollercoaster of ups and downs.

Thanks for the kind messages.

@JandL2020 well done for holding off!!!

@thefishthatcouldwish that's fantastic, congratulations!

@unicornpuff glad the line is getting darker, that's lovely and reassuring.

How long do people think the trigger shot takes to leave your system?
