Sept IVF/FET Part 2

[Lemongrass1]

For more chat!

@Rumtopf not long to go! Hang in there! Sending lots of positive vibes!
@Fightingtobepositive and @AutumnHoping i am so so scared of what is coming with the progesterone as i am already constipated with the extra dose of oestrogen! I think progesterone does cause the bloat and the constipation! Like before you get your AF! Safer thing for constipation is fybogel (you can get it from boots)! Its only fibers and very very safe for pregnancy! Also try all brans! And lactulose but havent tried it!
@AutumnHoping are you only on progesterone and not oestorgen at all? Different clinics have so different protocols as mine said stay on both!

I’m on oestrogen tab twice a day and then progesterone 3 times a day... I’ve had a panic on because my luteal phase is only 10 days usually so wondered if it’s be the same now on this med. or will it give me a little more time of hope?

@poupou you might be ok - it just seems to be pot luck. Previously I had zero side effects - not even bloat or bad mood from any meds - the stims, progesterone. Nada. How lucky was I?!

I’m really hoping the constipation isn’t too often - couldn’t be doing with it every night. I’m still on 8mg of oestrogen as well. And take progesterone twice a day. Feel like I’m always clock watching to take something!

@Fightingtobepositive it’s so hard to know. Well I have no idea anyway how it works. Even that different clinics have different doses

My partner and I have just had a disagreement on when to test. He says clinic day only as last time it was a negative and I just prolonged the agony testing early.
I’m 9dp5dt today and if it was my choice I’d test everyday but I know that’s prob not good for my mind!

@Fightingtobepositive! I think as you are on progesterone the lutea phase will be prolonged!
@AutumnHoping i know exactly what you mean by clock watching and taking meds! I arranged to go to a friends flat foe dinner on friday and then made it brunch as i realised that i have to inject myself in the night and also get the pessaries and vagina oestrogen! That would have been an amazing dinner! Fingers crossed side effects wont be too awful!
@UncleBrynsfishingtrip i dont know what to say as this is a personal choice and decision! But maybe you should both find a middle ground and talk it over as both your feelings are valid!

@Rumtopf @Fightingtobepositive @JenniferRo28 @OfTwelve
Great news on transfer and welcome to 2ww!

@thefishthatcouldwish congratulations! That’s wonderful news after 5 years of TTC

@ChicaXS great news on your 5! Good luck for PGS results 🤞

@poupou great news on the lining, hope the progesterone injections are ok tomorrow. Our clinic say only low impact exercise. But they say swimming and a warm bath are fine whereas other clinics recommend against. Funny how advice differs!

@JandL2020 hope you are feeling better

@Autumnhoping I always have bits leaking out with the progesterone. Sometimes the whole pessary ‘shell’ comes out! (Sorry for TMI)

@ivfjourney5 hope norethisterone does the trick

@Havingfaith I’m so so sorry, I hope you were able to enjoy your Chinese and let it all out. I really hope your clinic doesn’t make you wait too long if you need another FET. xx

@Autumnhoping partners are allowed at our clinic for all the appts as long as they have a negative Covid swab

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip Hard when you don’t see exactly eye to eye. I have never made it to OTD but my OH is equally as impatient as me! Hope you can come to a compromise you are both happy with

AFM 4dp5dt. I am desperate to test already! Have had nausea on and off since 2dp5dt and I know it can’t possibly be due to pregnancy as wouldn’t even have implanted that early.. Most likely due to progesterone. I hate the 2WW 😭

Hi I haven't checked for the last couple of days!
@AutumnHoping my DH was able to come to ET however we only found out the day before so he hadn't taken time off work. I went on my own (forgot to take a picture of the embryo so if you go on your own try to remember!) And drove myself home about 30 minutes.

@JandL2020 I hope you are feeling better today. Did you get a call/check up from your clinic?

@HavingFaith I am really sorry that your test was negative. Its awful having to keep going with all the drugs when you are convinced it didn't work. As others have said though FET can be a little slower.

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip I stuck to OTD because I would have been a crying mess every day! If it makes you feel more in control and calmer either outcome it is up to you! Listen to your partner but ultimately he can't control what you wee on!

@Lemongrass1 hope the nausea settles qnd its not too long a TWW for you!

Good luck to everyone in the 2WW!

@Lemongrass1 great roundup!

Have no real symptoms at all but my boobs are a right funny colour and heavy maybe! Feel slightly sick this morning but not massively so.

Thanks for all your lovely messages ☺️ Didn’t get to have my Chinese as it turns out our local takeaway doesn’t open on a Monday - talk about kicking a girl while she’s done ha!! But we’re processing it all and doing ok!

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip my DH and I had the exact same disagreement on the exact same day as you both - he came round though when he saw how much it was killing me not knowing either way. Hope you guys can find a compromise too.

@JandL2020 really hope you’re feeling better now!

Good luck to everyone with appts/updates today! And those in the tww, hope the embryos are snuggling in!xx

@thefishthatcouldwish what day are you on? I have no symptoms either. Not even a cramp really. I bit of discomfort on my left side (but that’s the wrong side isn’t it) sore boobs and trouble sleeping that’s it which is obv the progesterone.

I’m so paranoid about this progesterone too. I hope it’s where it needs to be and at least some staying there.

Thanks @poupou I hope so. That’s had me panicking a while

@Lemongrass1. Thank you! Injections were fine, just getting on with everything i assumeI hope the days go by fast for you! Sending lots of positive vibes!
@HavingFaith i hope you manage to get the chinese tonight! You both deserve it! Sending lot of love and hugs!

@UnicornPuff congrats on the transfer, sorry you had to go alone 💜

Be kind to yourself @HavingFaith it sounds like your in A good place though xxx

Good morning ladies. Thank you for all the get well messages. I had another bad ish and called the nurse this morning. She asked me to take a pregnancy test and It’s positive. I’m a bit in shock. The line is quite light in colour but visible enough to be a line - I couldn’t get enough wee out as already been to the toilet this morning. I just can’t believe it xx

Here's my positive vibes Spotify playlist, the idea is it will propel me through the 2ww. I actually can have a blood test on the 30th I think, so one week left. I felt awful yesterday, headache and just so tired, I basically laid down all day. Hoping today will be a bit more successful! Join me in the playlist if you too need some positive vibes.

@JandL2020 ahh congratulations 🥳 so the symptoms you’ve been getting are they pregnancy related and not OHSS? So exciting x

I’m having a bit of a panic 😩 I’ve got a bad water infection, I’ve had it for the last two days and it’s getting worse! Just called the doctors and they said I need antibiotics! I’m due to have transfer next week providing my scan on Friday goes ok! Do you think they’ll still do it? 😩 x

@LKSF apparently it’s a “good sign” even though I did try to explain the pains were severe at times. The feeling sick is constant now worried I won’t be able to keep anything down. Yesterday I threw up dry bread. OHSS can worsen in early pregnancy apparently so definitely keep an eye on it. If I need to go to hospital I will for sure xx

@JandL2020 Aww I’m so chuffed for you, make sure you rest loads xx

@JandL2020 congrats!!!!! Great news despite the awful symptoms and how you feel! Maybe ginger will help with nausea a bit!

@poupou thank you. If I can persuade my other half to go and get me some bits. I can’t go anywhere at the moment I would throw up 🤮 May ask my parents to get me some things xx

@JandL2020 oh honey!!!!i hope it settles soon!

@JandL2020 congratulations on your BFP :) thats lovely news. Sorry your still feeling crap though. Hope the sickness calms down soon xx

Well today i am 2dp5dt and it already feels like 100dp5dt haha and after the tighter restrictions that were put in place yesterday in Scotland i feel like the wait is going to drag in the fact i cant even go and visit anyone to help pass the time. Argh.

@JandL2020 that’s amazing news. Congratulations. I hope you are a little more comfortable today xx

@JenniferRo28 I’m 3dp5dt and I have no sanity left,,, I’m already convinced it hasn’t worked and sitting by myself Overthinking (again because of restrictions) isn’t the best solution for tww

@JenniferRo28 I think we will all be in lockdown soon :( For me my outlet is swimming and going for walks. Can’t do either. I would like to do some work but just feel too sick at the moment so I’ve been signed off for the time being. I was going to buy some books off amazon to pass the time and distract me. I watched the Fall on Netflix last week which was great and I’ve heard Wes is good on ITV which I may catch up on. Good luck.

For anyone else in their 2WW. Symptoms started on Saturday I would say so 6dp5dt - went for a walk felt so tired after, bloating later that evening, painful cramps, the sickness started yesterday at 8dp. 9dp (today) got right sore nipple when it rubs against something. Still painful cramps. Nurse said if it’s not accompanied by bleeding it’s a good sign. X
