@UnicornPuff Yes definitely will be getting them to test progesterone levels next time if AF arrives before I stop the medication. Thank you x

Hello guys. Its a BFN for me i am afraid. Despite hoping for a miracle this didnt happen. Last night got red blood spots tested this morning and its negative. Thank you all so so much for all the support encouragement and help though out this. You were there even virtually in this horrible journey. Best of luck to all of you for the future.

LKSF · 11/10/2020 07:14

@poupou I’m so so sorry 😢 I’m truly gutted for you, I was really rooting for you and minster2012
We all deserve this so much and it’s just not fair 😔 Sending you virtual hugs and I hope today you can spend it how ever YOU want to spend it xxx

I'm so sorry @poupou, I don't even have words. Allow yourself time and take good care of yourself xx

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 11/10/2020 08:00

Sending you all love at the tough time @poupou. This journey is so so hard xx xx xx xx

Fightingtobepositive · 11/10/2020 08:32

@Minster2012 I’m so sorry. It’s so bloody cruel, I was rooting for you, you are so kind and supportive to everyone. Act exactly how you need to and be kind to yourself 💜

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip hope everything was good at the scan for you.

@LKSF you still have hope. That’s frustrating that they haven’t adjusted meds after last time. They are supposed to stop AF. I felt on a few occasions that af was coming, the dull ache moodiness and everything.

Well I’m home and glad to be so. Beginning to feel a teeny bit better which is great on its own 🤞🙏. So now I guess I can just jump on the worrying over everything train (including that scan they did that showed nothing) 😖
I did a test and it was a very clear bfp which I’ve never even had a glimpse of... it’s just that it was so bitter sweet knowing what we know before I actually had chance to take the test, it’s crazy to, because I’m having symptoms... very sore boobs, nausea, back ache. But all just seem scary to me now at the thought of an ectopic 🥺 my scan is so far booked for the 20th so a bit of a wait.

Fightingtobepositive · 11/10/2020 08:36

Sorry I missed the page. I’m so sorry @poupou we do all deserve this and it’s so unfair when it doesn’t work out. Please be kind to yourself. We are all here to vent or whatever you need x

AutumnHoping · 11/10/2020 08:47

I’m so so sorry @poupou I was really hoping for a different outcome for you. I hope you are as well as you can be and can get some answers from
Your clinic about the bleeding which can be sorted for next time x

Eggling · 11/10/2020 09:53

@poupou and @Minster2012, I'm so sorry - it's so unfair. I hope you are both being well looked after.

@LKSF keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@Fightingtobepositive glad you're gone and feeling a little better. Congratulations on the bfp! My scan is the 20th too, time is really dragging and I'm so anxious as I still have basically no symptoms except slightly bigger boobs and I should be 6+2 now. Hope you're able to relax a bit and focus on getting better x

LKSF · 11/10/2020 10:22

Thanks You @Fightingtobepositive glad you’re home and on the mend and you can start enjoying your pregnancy x

Thank you @Eggling 🤞🏼 x

Fightingtobepositive · 11/10/2020 10:29

Thank you @Eggling and @LKSF I just wish I could get that early scan out of my head so I could stop obsessing over negative news x

poupou · 11/10/2020 12:00

@LKSF @ivfjourney5
@UncleBrynsfishingtrip @Fightingtobepositive @AutumnHoping
@Eggling thank you guys so so much. I am so devastated and still trying to come into terms with it and what to do next. Go for another FET (last frozen embryo) or start a fresh cycle again.
I am not sure what is the reason of the bleeding (i have non this morning) but probably is low progesterone. Will talk with clinic tmr even though i dont think they will be helpful. I really appreciate all the kind words and support! Best of luck to all of you. I hope i will be fine. Xxxx

Lemongrass1 · 11/10/2020 15:01

@Minster2012 @poupou I’m so so sorry about the negative tests. This whole process just really sucks. Wish you both the best with whatever you do next

@Fightingtobepositive glad to hear you are home from hospital!

AFM has a fairly big bleed today, it came out of the blue in a big gush. I am trying to take it a bit easy but hard when I have a toddler I have to lift. Not sure if there’s any point anyway as cant change the outcome of pregnancy destined to fail. Feeling rather deflated today! I’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow so I’ll call the clinic in am and see what they want to do- wait for scan on Thurs or if there’s any point in doing one earlier. Sorry for the downer post!

@Lemongrass1 oh gosh that sounds scary I’m so sorry you’ve experienced that 😢 wait and see what the clinic says tomorrow, they might reassure you it doesn’t necessarily mean the worst 🤞🏼Sending you big hugs and I hope you can try and rest. X

LKSF · 11/10/2020 20:23

I was weak and tested but sadly got a BFN 😭
I’m 9dpt so im hoping it’s too early! My OTD is in two days so I’m holding on for a miracle that it’s going to change into a BFP 🤞🏼

Lemongrass1 · 11/10/2020 21:03

@LKSF oh no, so sorry! I also hope it’s a different outcome at OTD for you🤞🤞

AutumnHoping · 12/10/2020 09:16

@poupou I hope the clinic can at the very least give you some answers - at least you know your progesterone dropped which would give them something to work with going forward. Goodluck whatever you decide.

Sorry it was a negative @LKSF - fingers crossed you get a different result on your OTD.

Ah @Lemongrass1 I’m sorry you must be very worried. Did it calm down any? Hopefully it isn’t sinister and is the unexplained bleeding that many women get. When I had a MC the clinic told me bleeding (without any other side effects) was perfectly normal - so lots of ladies obviously do get it. Hoping for good news x

unknownscot · 12/10/2020 10:07

Sorry I've been very quiet. We've just had our day 6 call.

22 eggs collected
14 fertilised
7 day 3
1 day 5 grade 3BB

I'm heartbroken to say the least and know it's only 1 I need but it's for the future too. I want more than one baby. I'm angry and upset and want a day of being allowed to be.
😢

LKSF · 12/10/2020 10:36

@unknownscot I’m so so sorry 😔 of course you have every right to be angry and upset, I hope today you can spend it however you want to spend it. Sending hugs x

Eggling · 12/10/2020 12:52

I'm so sorry @unknownscot , of course you're allowed to be upset. Take as much time as you need to feel what you feel and process everything.

@Lemongrass1 that does sound scary! I hope the clinic come back to you quickly. Hopefully it will be one of those things that happens in some pregnancies but doesn't indicate anything bad.

@Fightingtobepositive I understand why you're feeling unsure, that first scan would worry anyone. It was so very early though, and I've read lots of stories of nothing showing at that stage. I really hope you get reassurance soon.

I hope everyone else is doing ok. I'm feeling rubbish today - struggling to get anxieties under control plus intermittent cramps and another night of little sleep. So so scared about my scan next week. Time seems to be going so slowly. I think perhaps I just need a decent nights sleep to stop feeling so negative.

JenniferRo28 · 12/10/2020 13:41

@unknownscot im sorry your feeling so down in the dumps and you are more than entitle to have a day of feeling lousy but then you should pick yourself back up because you do have one embryo and thats worth fighting for. I only had 5 collected, 3 fertilised and 1 good embryo to transfer and i got my BFP so please try to stay positive i know its hard.

So ive got my 6 week scan on Thurs and i am terrified to say the least. Apart from the very odd ache in my stomach and slightly tender boobs which i have had since starting IVF i dont feel any different at all. Im so worried we arent going to see anything on the ultrasound. Im having nightmares about it, its so horrible :( how is everyone else feeling whos scans are getting close?

JenniferRo28 · 12/10/2020 13:41

@LKSF i will keep everything crossed for you xx

Fightingtobepositive · 12/10/2020 14:29

@Lemongrass1 that does sound scary. Hope you are ok. I am keeping everything crossed for you.

@LKSF I’m also keeping all crossed that it’s just to early to tell. Let’s have hope

@unknownscot you are completely allowed to be upset. I’m so sorry your feeling crappy. Sending you lots and lots of hugs. Just keep in mind, it only takes 1 xx

@Eggling @JenniferRo28 it’s such an anxious time waiting isn’t it. I can’t believe it in fact, you thing whole ivf process is hard... until you get to this point that is. I’ll be thinking of you both it’s also very exciting you may get to see something ☺️

I am sorry for the loans but my anxiety is awful, i have such a bad feeling about this. I’m so scared of an ectopic and just can’t control the outcome. I have spoke to my clinic who hasn’t rung back like they said they would and just finished speaking to the go who has booked me straight in for 4.20. I hope I get some positive news from it 🙏🤞

JenniferRo28 · 12/10/2020 15:27

@Fightingtobepositive remind me how many weeks you are? I think your just a few days behind me? I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and speaking from experience of previous ectopic years ago (which was caught at 6 weeks), the pain was unbearable in one side and shoulder pain and bleeding as well, do you have any symptoms? I honestly think your going to be fine, i wish i could help put your mind at ease but nothing will until you see something on the screen xx

Eggling · 12/10/2020 16:59

I hope your gp appointment went ok @Fightingtobepositive

@JenniferRo28 we must all be quite close, I'm 6 + 3 today. Will be 7+4 at my scan which seems late to me! Hope Thursday goes well for you!
