Just marking my place 💫

@Lemongrass1 thank you so so much for doing this again!
I hope your doing well and all is progressing good!
@LKSF thank you again. Progesterone Levels should be between 50-100 for good implantation. I dont know why levels dropped and if this is the reason for the bleed. However it doesnt seem to go very well.

Thanks for the new thread @Lemongrass1

Thanks for the new thread @Lemongrass1 sorry I've not been around much, have been following and wishing everyone well! Hope everyone's day is going alright x

@poupou sorry you’re having to go through this stress. I hope the blood doesn’t mean anything negative and you are one of those people that have some bleeding but go on to have a healthy pregnancy. Trying to look on the bright side - at least you had a little early on - which at that point shouldn’t have been a period since so close to transfer which hopefully suggests it’s something different altogether. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

Eggling · 08/10/2020 13:28

@poupou I've heard about bleeding in tww and still having a positive outcome. I really hope that's the case for you. I appreciate it's so scary and difficult to stay positive though. Sending love x

poupou · 08/10/2020 13:29

@AutumnHoping thank you for your kind words but doesnt look very promising. Probably first bleed might have been implantation? This one have no idea and it doesnt look promising. I am so devastated with this. How are you?

poupou · 08/10/2020 13:30

@Eggling thank you so so much. Xxx

AutumnHoping · 08/10/2020 13:49

I really hope it’s not @poupou and you are pleasantly surprised. But I know no amount of positive messages will make you feel any better until test day. Will you test early? I’m ok. Have started to bleed today - so haven’t had to wait long. Haven’t heard from the clinic - they are supposed to contact me. It all seems pretty cold and really hammers home that you’re just a number to them and on a list. They’re so hard to get through to too and push the use of their online portal which is where I had to fill out a form to say if result was positive or negative- which again just seems really detached from the reality of what that result means. But maybe all clinics are the same

poupou · 08/10/2020 14:00

@AutumnHoping i also hope so much for the best even if my brain says that based on medicine its not good. I am so scared to test. I dont want to continue medication if i test today until Tuesday. I am 10dpt today so depending on how bleeding is going i will probably do so soon. I have all the tests in the bathroom waiting. I was very positive but yesterday i started feeling less so (especially as sore boobs are not so much anymore and was feeling ok).
I completely get you regarding the clinics. Its so distance and impersonal that hurts you even more! Mine told me to wait to test until OTD and they dont know what bleeding might mean. I hope they contact you soon!!!!

AutumnHoping · 08/10/2020 14:08

@poupou it’s horrible when it changes from excited to test and being hopeful to dreading it when you think it will just cement the bad news you anticipate. You’re very good holding off when you have tests there. It’s just so hard and hard to shake the feeling you have. But we are all hoping it’s good news.
Yea like I get it’s their job and they see this day in day out - but I think to be in this line of work they need compassion and to get that to them it’s routine and a job not to us it consumes our lives. The clinics (on the whole and IMO) really wash their hands of you once transfer has been done and seems a case of - ‘nothing to do with us to test day - we’ve done our bit’ which ok to an extent but we are still technically under their care. And paying good money - well I am anyway lol

poupou · 08/10/2020 14:43

@AutumnHoping i completely agree with you 100% about both. I am dreading to test as I am not ready to face bad news. But i would need to do it sooner or later. I am worried that i might have caused this as i moved too much but was seriously resting more than i ever did in my life. Yesterday i was off work and just walked for an hour spending the rest if time on the sofa! I hate the way clinics are completely! Its always a struggle to get things done and the dont know answer its the most terrifying ever! If i knew i wouldnt ask you as an expert. Well i am hoping this will
Stop and maybe there will be a miracle in my case. I honestly appreciate your support so much! I hope you regrouped and you are ready for the next one. I am seriously routing for you. I only have one more in the freezer so i will need to probably have a fresh cycle that i am
Dreading as last one wasnt good.

Minster2012 · 08/10/2020 15:02

Marking my place, also struggling with TWW but I shall likely test on sat at 10 days after.

@poupou stay strong, it's not over til it's over & if it's only spotting then def not out

@LKSF I'm with you on the struggles & sending hugs xx

poupou · 08/10/2020 15:07

@Minster2012 thank youuu so much. I will
Probably test by the weekend too except if blood increases. I hope it all Works out for you! Fingers crossed!

Minster2012 · 08/10/2020 17:16

@poupou were you two days ahead of me? X

poupou · 08/10/2020 17:20

@Minster2012 yes my transfer was on the 28th September. But i am too scared to test.

thefishthatcouldwish · 08/10/2020 20:19

Hi just marking my place.

Minster2012 · 08/10/2020 22:13

@poupou ah yes couple of days before me, I will likely test on Saturday when it's 10dp5dt, my "symptoms" have mainly gone too so though I'm not bleeding maybe it's just a thing around the timing now?

poupou · 08/10/2020 22:22

@Minster2012 i know that quite a few women had a lose of symptoms but had a BFP so be as positive as you are and i am
Really hoping for you. I will push myself to test as well soonish. My first bleed i think might have been implantation as it stopped in less than 24 h and without an increase in dosing. I tested my progesterone yesterday (privately) and it dropped to 50 from
100 on transfer day. I am not sure why. Bleeding/ spotting was bright pink but i increased my dose today. I am Not sure if it will make a difference or what will happen. I will hope until proven otherwise. Fingers crossed for you!

Minster2012 · 09/10/2020 08:46

Ahh right @poupou I see. I just wish I knew! But same for everyone! So hard x

poupou · 09/10/2020 09:15

@Minster2012 i know! Sorry for the long story! I hope you are good and fingers crossed for tmr! Xxxx

LKSF · 09/10/2020 17:29

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Good luck @poupou @Minster2012 and anyone else testing over the weekend 🤞🏼 Sending you lots of baby dust x
