Sept IVF/FET Part 2

For more chat!

@Minster2012 my clinic mentioned caffeine this time (didn’t last time and I continued with it) so I was a little taken back too - but it wasn’t on the sheet she gave me so I’ve still been having some caffeine- albeit reduced - trying not to go over 200mg a day. The sheet I got after transfer just mentioned alcohol.

@Fightingtobepositive it did go into my rib cage yes as everything felt liked it was being pushed up because of the bloating. Hope that helps. X

@Minster2012 regarding caffeine i am also staying below the 200mg a day! They havent said anything in the clinic but i am having decaf at work and i got a caffeine free coffee from holland and Barrett! However dont cut caffeine too suddenly meaning going completely caffeine free if you are enjoying a coffee a day as its associated with headaches and feeling poorly!
Any of you having AF symptoms while on progesterone and before/during TWW? Are the symptoms the same? I am feeling like having hot flashes and some cramps with sore boobs.

@Minster2012 yes they have said it more than once but only the one nurse. I just fancy a coke!

@thefishthatcouldwish, @poupou & @AutumnHoping my clinic both this time and last just said try and cut down caffeine & then follow NHS guidelines after transfer (as in act pregnant for eating drinking) and I was a steadfast 6 cups of black coffee a day girl so even before last time I cut back to one caffeinated coffee a day then decaf and have basically continued that, though sometimes I have 2 and don't beat myself up, I did that after BFP too. So that's fine, yes basically under the 200mg per day. After transfer this time I will stick to only one cup per day though. I have an amazing cup though, a Klean Kanteen which keeps a coffee hot for hours, so I can male my one cup last about 4 hours so that makes it better 😂🤣
Mind you, my clinic says have a calming glass of wine the night before transfer and I had a lovely g&t last time & will be doing that again as the last hurrah 🥰

Hey.
I'm on day 7 of stims and have a very dull consistent ache that I think is my right ovary.
Can I take paracetamol for that?

Oh and @poupou my nipples could currently etch glass, (since being on estrogen) I'm waking up in the night (I got that last time on progesterone) & I'm starting to feel bloated so yeah. I won't be able to tell anything in TWW! 😂🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

@JandL2020 thank you. I guess maybe, because it all started with being overly bloated on the Friday then that night seemed to travel else where, although I’m not as bloated anymore so don’t know if that’s a bad sign 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think the doctor is probs Right and it’s muscular. I’ve been holding myself a little pathetically dice collection really so might make sense

My clinic said to limit caffeine to 2/3 cups a day if you are a coffee drinker. But I’ve cut it out because I only really drink it when out and about so have a Costa

@unknownscot I believe paracetamol is ok but not ibuprofen

DH isn’t over Keen on me having any caffeine so it will have to be a sneaky drink if I have one.

I have a full on cold with sore throat. Worst part is being out and needing to sneeze or cough it’s as if you have spat in someone’s eye.

This is the peril of working with 3/4 year olds!

@unknownscot I agree with @Lemongrass1, I'm told to steer clear of anything ibruprofen based but paracetamol is ok 🤞🏻it works

@thefishthatcouldwish I find it very interesting the differing opinion of people's DH's in this process and pregnancy in general. How are the men on cutting out caffeine & alcohol etc? Mine broke the "I will abstain from alcohol too with you after transfer" last time the day after transfer. A massive arguments ensued. The whole thing was so stressful I think this time the fact we are so much more chilled is better for us

@Lemongrass1 congratulations!!! More fab news, it's so reassuring to see how many people are getting pg, makes me hope for the best too.

@Minster2012. DH when I suggested giving up his coffee gave me this look 🙄. That said with DH he lost his mum at a young age whist she was pregnant with his sibling. Both died. (It’s a long sad story). He is very protective but I do gently remind him I am actually fine!!

Positive test here this morning 💗😁💗😁 xx

@Lemongrass1 @UncleBrynsfishingtrip
Congratulation!! Love seeing all these positives!

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip that's BRILLIANT!! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉❤️🙌🏻🥰 amazing news to wake up to! Did you feel much different?!

@thefishthatcouldwish that makes sense but yes I find it funny overall they are like "errrr no"

Morning everyone,

I’ve been kind of quiet over the weekend, had many highs and lows but tried to keep myself busy to take my mind of things, I can’t believe it’s only been a week since transfer for me 😭 I have another whole week to go, I’m so annoyed I have 14 days to wait but I promised DH I would wait until OTD. Friday afternoon/night I was in quite a bit of pain, especially my left side and right round my back but I’ve been feeling ok(ish) since then.

How is everyone else doing?

@Lemongrass1 and @UncleBrynsfishingtrip wonderful news ladies, I’m so chuffed for you both xx

Well I suppose I better drag myself out my bed for another week at work. Urgh.

Great news @Lemongrass1 congratulations! Xx

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip Congratulations 🥳🙏🏼 X

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip this is fantastic news! I am so pleased for you!! Xxx

Congratulations @UncleBrynsfishingtrip!!!

@JenniferRo28 it's such a long wait isn't it? You're halfway there though - it won't feel so long in hindsight. Hope work is ok today!

I'm just back from my blood draw for my official test, they should call this afternoon. Quite worried about it tbh but working today so that will hopefully take my mind off things. I just keep thinking the frer was a fluke or something has gone wrong since or my hcg levels will be too low. It's one stress after another isn't it.

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip congratulations 🥳 great news to wake up to on a Monday! Xx

Congratulations @UncleBrynsfishingtrip and @Lemongrass1!

Today (10dp5dt) is the same day I first saw a faint positive with my son. Absolutely nothing on the home test kit 😢 Official blood test is tomorrow.

Congratulations!!

I'm just home from my first scan - follicles growing nicely 14 on the right, 18 on the left.
Back on Wednesday for another follicle scan.

:)
