I'm currently 5dp5dft and tested yesterday...got a bfn Sad No symptoms aside from feeling tired and crying (alot) but putting that down to a horrible transfer experience & hormones. I have a strong gut feeling that it hasn't worked so dreading OTD next Sat.
How about you??

Mrsmch123 · 18/10/2020 20:12

@northernerinthesouth1I have no symptom at all. I do have sore boobs but had that since I started the injections. My test day is Saturday as well. I don't feel hormonal but haven't even during stims...I've just felt normal??ohhh that's a shame that you had a horrible transfer!

Hi ladies 👋 another one here at 5dp5dt with official test day of Saturday! I said I wouldn’t but I probably will test before that. I was thinking maybe Tuesday. I don’t feel much different really, I’ve had a few day time naps that have just come on me and boobs slightly sore. The other night I did have shooting pains down there that I suspected may be implantation when I was lying in bed. Didn’t last long. Oh an crazy dreams.

Good luck ladies xx

@Mctm123 welcome😀 I'm definitely not testing early. One because I want to wait till the weekend so either way I will have time to process the result before I go back to work and 2 I think If it's negative I will want a large vodka Or ten which I won't be able to do because of work the next day🙈

is this your first round ladies?

northernerinthesouth1 · 18/10/2020 21:58

I wish I’d never tested early as it’s just crushing when it comes back bfn. But it’s just SO hard not to isn’t it. Especially when you read about others getting their bfp so early on.
@Mrsmch123 I like your thinking though & will have definitely have a bottle of wine on standby in case it’s negative next sat!!
This is my second round but first FET. How about you ladies?

Mrsmch123 · 18/10/2020 22:21

@Mctm123 yeh it defo is...it's the curiosity of has it worked.

This is my first round so everything is very new. Tbh I thought I would be some sort of raging hormonal demon during all this but I can say I've felt no different really. My husband and boss have both commented on it lol!

OP posts:
Mctm123 · 19/10/2020 16:19

I’ve just tested before on an internet cheapie and I can defo see a shadow of a line. So I’ve just been out an bought 2 frers they are on offer in Superdrug if yous need any! Gonna try an hold out till the morning to do one.

This is my second fresh cycle but I have done a fresh and 2 FETs before so really this is my fourth go. It’s worked every time but I’ve miscarried them all. We do have a naturally conceived little boy though who is 5 so would be lovely to finally give him a sibling!

@Mrsmch123 I’ve never been too bad with the side effects on the medication. My partner says it’s because I’m crazy anyway so he reckons there’s no difference haha.

northernerinthesouth1 · 19/10/2020 20:53

@Mctm123 that’s amazing news - congrats! Keep us posted on how you get on tomorrow morn.

Did you test early on your other cycles? I’m honestly too scared to after testing on 4dpt 🙈 I read that frozen embies can sometimes take longer to implant but I don’t want to give myself false hope.

Mctm123 · 20/10/2020 07:26

Thanks @northernerinthesouth1 I ended up testing last night! Couldn’t wait! Saw the faintest ever line and then this morning is pretty much the same maybe slightly darker but still so so faint. Which worries me a bit but then logically I’m only 7dp5dt today so it’s still so early.

Yeah I tested early last time too and that’s what’s worrying me as I had darker lines but every pregnancy is different I keep telling myself! Last time mine was a frozen this one is fresh so god knows. When are you thinking of testing again? X

Mctm123 · 20/10/2020 10:07

I’ve just realised I’m testing with a standard frer not an early one. Don’t know if that makes a difference 🤷‍♀️

Mrsmch123 · 20/10/2020 11:58

@Mctm123 Ooohhhh Congratulations on your line.....hopefully the next one is darker!were your partners part of the decision to test early?im waiting it out🙈🙈

OP posts:
Mctm123 · 20/10/2020 12:51

@Mrsmch123 thanks, I’m just really anxious as I think it’s too faint if I’m honest. I’ve just got a really bad feeling.

No my partner was like just wait! But I couldn’t! Same old. He’s really chilled, I’m a nervous wreck xx

northernerinthesouth1 · 20/10/2020 13:24

Try not to let anxiousness get the better of you @Mctm123 - I know it’s easier said than done! A line is still a line and it’s pretty early on still which is most likely why it’s only showing faintly.

I’m testing Saturday - it was my DHs preference to do that all along but I’m far too impatient and read somewhere that if it’s a negative result then it’s easier to deal with if you’ve tested early and know what’s coming...pfft is it heck...!!

How’re you both doing symptom wise? I’ve had AF type cramps and some very very light spotting yesterday. Also had my first night terror in years last night 🤯

Xx

Mctm123 · 20/10/2020 15:01

I know, you’re so right @northernerinthesouth1 I need to just try an keep calm for now x

Symptom wise I haven’t had much really apart from slightly sore boobs, then today mild cramping and on Friday I could have sworn I felt implantation as had shooting pains during the night down there. I’m with you on the night terrors - I had a dream last night a dragon was chasing me breathing fire at me wtf!!! X

Mrsmch123 · 20/10/2020 15:41

I'm laughing at the night terrors but not really!!i woke up drenched in sweat this morning. My boobs are sore but have been since stims. I'm tiered but work is busier....it's just too hard to tell!!x

OP posts:
Mctm123 · 21/10/2020 08:00

@Mrsmch123 another crazy nightmare last night woke my self up from it! I was about to be murdered what the actual??? What a weird symptom that is! X

Done another test this morning, it does look like it’s progressing but it’s still so faint and I’m still obviously thinking the worst! I’m 8dp5dt today x

2ww.....let's wait it out together.
Mrsmch123 · 21/10/2020 08:13

@Mctm123 I never remember any of my dreams at all! It is definitely progressing which is a good thing!!x

OP posts:
Mctm123 · 21/10/2020 11:16

Hope so @Mrsmch123 I need to stay calm xx

northernerinthesouth1 · 21/10/2020 11:41

@Mctm123 definitely getting darker!

@Mrsmch123 how’re you finding not testing? I’m getting twitchy now and wondering whether to test on Friday? It’s so hard to be patient!
X

Mrsmch123 · 21/10/2020 12:54

@northernerinthesouth1 I think I'm happy to stay in my wee bubble of maybe it has worked.... and that's what's stopping me from testing early🤣🤣also I'm at work Monday to Friday so don't want to have to deal with work🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
northernerinthesouth1 · 22/10/2020 20:34

How's the line looking today @Mctm123??

A pack of CB digital has just arrived from Amazon and I am properly itching to test and wondering if I should tomorrow, ughhhhh.

Mrsmch123 · 22/10/2020 21:53

@northernerinthesouth1 ohhh I almost caved tonight🙈🙈but have taken myself off to bed to stop myself🤦🏻‍♀️x

OP posts:
Mctm123 · 23/10/2020 06:25

Yes it seems slightly darker @northernerinthesouth1 I think but I’ve now decided I’m going to test every couple of days instead to see if I can see progression. I’m so pleased as well as the miscarriage clinic have booked me in for a scan when I’ll hopefully be 5 +5 and they have said I will be with them for regular scans so I’m trying to just relax a bit now!

You ladies are so strong resisting testing well done!! Ha xx

northernerinthesouth1 · 23/10/2020 07:04

@Mctm123 that’s fantastic news! Definitely try to relax and feel reassured that you’ll be monitored closely.

Well I caved this morning and am in a state of shock...bfp!!! But it’s only showing faintly on FRER so I’m trying not to let myself get too excited 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

2ww.....let's wait it out together.
Mctm123 · 23/10/2020 07:14

Oh wow 🤩 amazing news @northernerinthesouth1 so happy for you!! Lovely to see those words! I’ve saved my digital for tomorrow🌟 congratulations 🥳 xxx
