@JandL2020 I was exactly the same and followed the rules! How much longer do you have till OTD?

@thefishthatcouldwish I am still convinced anything I feel now is still the progesterone. I do have sore boobs and I am shattered! But I dont know if I we hadn't just done IVF if I would be aware or just think I had not had enough early nights!

@Rumtopf I think it depends on the drug you took and the dose. A quick Google says 10-14 days and you take it about 2 days before EC so you could potentially have it in your system up to 7dp5dt I would guess. I think the only was to be sure would be to test it out. Or if you see a line keep testing to make sure it gets darker!

JandL2020 · 20/09/2020 12:32

@UnicornPuff 25th. I’m still only 6 days post transfer. X

Congrats!!!!!great news @thefishthatcouldwish

LKSF · 20/09/2020 21:47

@thefishthatcouldwish congratulations 🥳 so nice to see another positive test!!

Sorry for tmi but I’ve been getting a lot off EW cervical mucus, has anyone else experienced this being on progynova? X

unknownscot · 21/09/2020 06:31

Finally I'm catching up - I finished norethisterone on Wednesday night and got a bleed yesterday so officially start injections today. I'm so nervous.

Is there anyone around my stage? Everyone else seems so far on!

LKSF · 21/09/2020 07:19

@unknownscot I finished my injections yesterday, I’m only on cycle day 9 so not too far in front. Are you doing a FET cycle?x

JenniferRo28 · 21/09/2020 08:15

@unknownscot good luck with your first injection, ice the area for a few mins before it and you’ll barely fee a thing x

unknownscot · 21/09/2020 08:35

@LKSF Yeah, doing a freeze all with FET. Are you too?

LKSF · 21/09/2020 08:49

@unknownscot I’ve already had a cycle with fresh which ended in a BFN but luckily got some embryos in the freezer ready for this transfer!
Good luck 🤞🏼 x

Fightingtobepositive · 21/09/2020 09:22

Morning ladies 💜

Congratulations @thefishthatcouldwish that awesome 😍👏

Had my transfer yesterday. So here’s to the tww 🤞🤞🤞.

Looks like you are all holding up. Can’t wait to see if we have anymore bfp 😁 xx

Eggling · 21/09/2020 10:21

Congrats on being PUPO @Fightingtobepositive ! Welcome to the tww 😊 5dp5dt here and starting to go a little crazy now, still no symptoms to report. I want to know but only if it's good news 😂 thinking if testing sat or sun so 10/11dpt - OTD is Monday but both DH and I are back at work that day so won't be together when the clinic ring.

Hope everyone has a good day!

JandL2020 · 21/09/2020 10:31

@Fightingtobepositive congrats on your transfer x

@Eggling I felt the same at 5 days. I’m 7 days now and feel really crampy and just exhausted. It could just be the progesterone...

Anyone had side effects with this? Xx

thefishthatcouldwish · 21/09/2020 10:42

@unknownscot good luck with the injections.

@Fightingtobepositive congrats on PUPU.

@Eggling why is it when you're waiting for something time just drags very very slowly.

UnicornPuff · 21/09/2020 11:08

@unknownscot good luck with your first injection today!

@Fightingtobepositive good luck in the TWW! I hope it passes quickly for you!

@JandL2020 nothing means anything and it can all be the progesterone! Saying that I was exhausted through my TWW (still am) which I put down to being back in work after 4 weeks either off or working from home and progesterone. Now I am thinking maybe my body was actually exhausted because it was growing something! I am also really crampy. Last night it was so bad it woke me up and I was off to the toilet really thinking I was bleeding! Fingers crossed it is a good sign for you 🤞

@Eggling I hope this week goes quickly for you!

JandL2020 · 21/09/2020 11:37

@UnicornPuff that’s good to know - I know it’s very early. I’m always up middle of the night thinking my period has arrived but it’s just the evil bullets. I’ve been chased for a deadline today (well it should have been done weeks ago!) so it’s been a kick up the bum to stay focused this week and take my mind off the test. I just want to see 2 lines I’m starting to dream about it now! Xx

HavingFaith · 21/09/2020 11:44

@unknownscot good luck for your first injection! So exciting (it’ll soon become second nature)xx

@Fightingtobepositive that’s great news! Welcome to the tww.

I’m 10dp5dt and the cramping I’ve had since transfer has now gone 😕 trying not to let that panic me, but my mind keeps drifting to the worst. I’m still really tried and nap every afternoon ha!
I feel so blah at the moment, like can’t even be bothered to get out of bed kind of blah. I just want to know now but also if it’s negative I think it would break me to have to keep doing all the meds until friday’s otd - that’s the main reason I haven’t tested yet, but now think I just want to know either way. Ahhh this is all just such a mind f*ck

JandL2020 · 21/09/2020 11:55

@HavingFaith feel the same. It sucks! Xx

Koalabear23 · 21/09/2020 12:47

Hi - I haven’t written in a while but have been reading and following everyone’s stories. It’s so nice to feel other people are going through similar processes! So I’m in the dreaded TWW 6dp5dt. The clinic just called to say my progesterone was still low. I’m worried and wondered if others had any experience of what this means?
Apparently last week it was 94 so they increased my dose of cyclogest- and today it’s gone down to 92. They’ve increased dose slightly again. I’m worried this is not a good sign at all! Had a positive test this morning which I thought was good, the clinic just dismissed it as too early to tell either way (FET so no trigger). I may be going crazy googling with this TWW so any help very welcome!

Lemongrass1 · 21/09/2020 12:58

@Koalabear23 I had a progesterone of 48 at OTD in the past. They checked again after 48h and it fell a bit more. They added in lubion twice a day and went up to 123 or thereabouts.

@Koalabear23 also tentative congratulations on the positive test! Xx

Rumtopf · 21/09/2020 13:21

@Koalabear23 tentative congratulations for a positive test, even if your clinic were dismissive. My clinic don't seem to test for progesterone so I've no idea about levels, but I hope their attention to it is helpful for you.

@Fightingtobepositive congratulations on being Pupo! Now to patiently wait. It's maddening and I just want to fast forward the next 9 days.

@havingfaith sorry you're feeling a bit blah. Hope you can find something to take your mind off it.

So many of us in the 2ww now. I had real cramping and a sharp pinchy feeling yesterday and didn't move off the sofa all that much, felt shattered. Bit more energy today and no cramps, but not sure if that's good or bad.

Koalabear23 · 21/09/2020 13:53

Thank you @Lemongrass1 and @Rumtopf that is helpful. I’ve emailed the doctor about increasing Lentogest, see what they say.

Good luck to everyone else in the TWW. It’s terrible this waiting!! My call with the clinic this morning has totally disheartened.

ChicaXS · 21/09/2020 14:03

Good afternoon, congratulations and so much love and luck from east London to you all in the TWW!

I’m 5 days post egg collection and started bleeding (like a period!) found it really strange for a period to come this early and thank god im not doing a fresh transfer as I’m doing a freeze all. Cramps are kicking in but I’m surprised this Happened super early? I called the clinic and they mentioned this is normal and to call only if the bleeding stops suddenly. Odd!

On other news I have 5 out of my 9 embabies making it to day 5! So they will be PGS tested. My other 4 are as follows: 2 are early blastocysts so could make it! Other two are really early and haven’t made it to early blastocyst stage and the embroyolgist wants to keep them overnight in case.

I’m just really happy with the 5!
@JenniferRo28 did you get your results yet? Praying for you!

JandL2020 · 21/09/2020 14:16

Fab news @ChicaXS. I was put on progesterone straight after egg collection so that might be why you’re bleeding now xx

JenniferRo28 · 21/09/2020 14:36

@ChicaXS hello from sunny Scotland 😊

That’s great you’ve got 5 definites for testing, really chuffed for you and fingers crossed the other 4 catch up too. Hope your bleeding isn’t too bad and the cramps calm down soon, are you planning to have FET next cycle?

I’m just on my way back from ET, it went well and the embryologist said it is a beauty of an embryo so I’m praying it sticks. We’ve also got 1 more for freezing. Can’t believe I am officially in the TWW 😬 x
