@79andnotout oh wow you are well in the wait then 😬 my luteal phase is always around 10 days to. Good luck for test day!

@Rumtopf wow that is a big jump. Mine seems to be going up 2 beats per day at the moment. I’m triggering tonight to so we will see what happened there, I was told no burslin tomoz though 🤔

Lemongrass1 · 13/09/2020 18:31

I think lots going on tomorrow!

@alexm06 @UncleBrynsfishingtrip @JandL2020 good luck for ET, hope it goes smoothly 🤞

@HavingFaith nervous and I think I will be until that first scan. Boobs are sore and I had that heavy feeling as well so good signs hopefully! Xx

JenniferRo28 · 13/09/2020 18:45

@HavingFaith @Lemongrass1 thank you 😊 x

Hope it goes well for everyone else who has scans, EC or ET tomorrow x

AutumnHoping · 13/09/2020 18:58

@Lemongrass1 and @HavingFaith thank you! Excited to finally feel like it’s happening. And trying not to be nervous at nothing happening at the same time 🙈

Goodluck for scans and ET. I’m sure will be such a relief (all being well) after transfer. Until the anxiety over the wait sets in!

LKSF · 13/09/2020 19:38

@ivfjourney5 @Alexm06 @JandL2020 Thank you...this has really helped!! Feeling a little nervous but I’m sure once I’ve done it the first time it’ll be fine!😅 I feel like they pretty much held my hand at the beginning but the FET they’ve just left me in the lurch a bit 😧 x

Minster2012 · 13/09/2020 20:16

Sorry haven't looked at this much

@thefishthatcouldwish can I draw your attention to our very loud 2 year son who was a transfer of a 3 day embryo that they said "better in than out let's just see how it does"...& now delights & annoys us every day 😂🙈please don't feel down bout your 2 day 3 embryos lovely!! & you've got one in the freezer too so an extra one but really hope you don't even need that 🤞🏻

@Rumtopf we are hoping for a transfer on 23rd but it all depends on our scan this weds & all of a sudden I'm not feeling hopeful on that date

Good luck for the scans tomorrow! @KassT @AutumnHoping @JenniferRo28

And there's a couple of transfers too aren't there! @JandL2020 @UncleBrynsfishingtrip @Alexm06

@Evey43 did you speak to your clinic on the test then? Do you have an emergency scan?

I'm a bit worried now in advance of my womb lining scan on weds as I've just done a random CM check as my boobs are killing, my nipples like fire & I felt wet. Ok so don't forget I'm taking extra estrodil. So this can easily be explained but im not downregulating this time, so of course I'm curious, I'm CD10. And on the CM side it was mucky brown. 😬😩😱 why would it be mucky brown? I'm meant to be building a lovely fluffy nest like lining for a week and half for my FET. Arghhhhhh so worried.

AutumnHoping · 13/09/2020 20:53

Thanks @Minster2012 - when’s your scan? I’m CD 12 today and have CM too. No other symptoms but then I never actually do so means nothing!

Minster2012 · 13/09/2020 21:31

@AutumnHoping my scan is weds at 8.30 I'm just worried cos it's brown, like there's no reason at CD 10 it shown be brown 😩🤔surely the blood should be staying in there to build up a lining??

Rumtopf · 13/09/2020 21:56

@Minster2012 it could be left over blood from your last period that's being disturbed by the extra lubrication and oestrogen.

AutumnHoping · 13/09/2020 21:57

Hopefully nothing to worry about. But I’m sure Wednesday can’t come quick enough for some reassurance

79andnotout · 13/09/2020 22:02

@Minster2012 it's probably old blood being washed out by the cervical mucus as your cervix will be in the open position now. I used to get that.

thefishthatcouldwish · 14/09/2020 06:02

@Minster2012 thanks for the pep talk!

Good luck for Wednesday.

LJM83 · 14/09/2020 06:25

Hi all - having a FET on 29th September and finding this chat very useful 👍🏻

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 14/09/2020 06:52

Wooooooooooop! Today’s the day!!!
FET at 12noon! x

thefishthatcouldwish · 14/09/2020 07:02

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip fingers crossed for you x

HavingFaith · 14/09/2020 07:11

@Minster2012 fingers crossed the CM is nothing to worry about🤞Glad you have a scan coming up so hopefully you can get some reassurance x

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip how exciting!! Good luck!

Good luck to everyone with scans, EC/ET today!

I’ll be waiting by the phone today for the results of my blood test to check progesterone levels - hoping all is ok 🙏 my clinic asks you to have this blood test the morning of ET day but because mine was on a Friday, I’ve had to wait till today for results. Has anyone else had this? And if my levels are low, is it now too late to make a difference if the clinic tells me to increase Lubion/cyclogest?x

UnicornPuff · 14/09/2020 07:21

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip good luck today!

@thefishthatcouldwish you have a really good chance. They normally pick the best to put back first and freeze left over that are good enough quality to survive the freeze and thaw. So you must have 2 pretty decent quality embryos hopefully doing their thing! And it is so normal to be gutted. The drop off is always big but I always feel like they are my little potentials!
When is your test day?

@JandL2020 I only drink 1 coffee a day to get me through the day and have decided to keep it. NHS advice is below 200mg a day and my one cup is not even close to that! Good luck for ET today!

@Alexm06 have you had ET or is it today too? Good luck for today if you are not already PUPO!

@ivfjourney5 I hope you get a good plan in place today. I will be thinking of you.

@79andnotout am I right in thinking your OTD is Sunday but you are testing on what would be 10dpo? What date does that bring you to? I feel for my DH I am like a broken record 'I just want to know the answer!' Friday cant come soon enough for me!

@Lemongrass1 thank you for setting the new thread up! It has continued to be very fast paced!

UnicornPuff · 14/09/2020 07:27

@HavingFaith my clinic does very limited blood tests! I had oestrogen levels checked before EC even though I have been told at every appointment I am not at risk from OHSS. But no other blood tests at all. Try not to worry. It should be fine as you will have been on progesterone since EC?

HavingFaith · 14/09/2020 07:34

@UnicornPuff this was a FET, but have been progesterone since last Sunday so hopefully all will be fine!

Roll on Friday for you!☺️ how are you feeling?x

Evey43 · 14/09/2020 07:38

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip good luck today! Xx

@Minster2012 I’m at a satellite clinic so I speak to one particular nurse mostly, I don’t think she was working Saturday but knew I was testing. I just emailed her and she replied that she’d call me today with scan date and organise more meds.

They do a scan at 7 weeks as standard I think and discharge you to the midwife all being well.

Hopefully it’s old blood as others have said, a little always looks like more than it is. I always advocate ringing the clinic if you need reassurance.

@HavingFaith I’ve has no bloods since before EC, I don’t know if that’s just my clinic or my plan from then if that makes sense.

Hopefully get my scan date and find out about ECG today but work to keep me busy til then.

Good luck to all with scans and appointments today xxx

JandL2020 · 14/09/2020 07:58

Good luck everyone today! Xx

AutumnHoping · 14/09/2020 08:00

Just out from my scan. As expected, not much happening. Up to 8mg a day and another scan on Friday.
