FET March/April

[PT8998]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any dates pencilled in for an FET during March/April? I have been given the dates of 30/03 for baseline scan and transfer the week of 12/04.

It would be great to see if there are many others on similar timelines?!

Oh no @elsaesmeralda I know how you’re feeling and it’s so awful. Sending you so much love and positive thoughts. Horrible when all we can do is hang in there isn’t it. Hopefully it will go off again like it did last time.

I’ve come home and caved and did a test and it’s positive. Not sure if that was a good idea or not as I’m now terrified it’s a chemical. Bleeding has stopped but cramps still very much there.

I also just caved , there is a line but it's barely there, can hardly see it with the naked eye so I think this is a chemical. Devastated. Been to the toilet and blood filled the toilet too, deffo over for me.

I hope it turns out okay for you @louloulemons 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@elsaesmeralda, if you're 7dp5dt and that wasn't FMU, then a line is a line. That's super early and the bleeding could be something like a haematoma that's not to do with the integrity of your lining 🤞🙏🤞🙏 I can't imagine how upset and stressed you must be, but I'm still praying that this isn't over for you ❤️

Tentative (but massive!) congratulations to you @louloulemons 🤞 I say the same to you as to what I've said to elsa, so hang on in there - sending tonnes of positivity both of your ways 💓

@BambiOnIce80 thank you for your kind words. The bleeding stopped but unfortunately I've started bleeding again and now passing large clots so I know it's over. I've treated myself to a hot water bottle. I've had a good cry, I'm totally gutted. I didn't help myself by testing and seeing that line

I'm so, so sorry @elsaesmeralda 💙 This process is absolutely brutal 😞 I'm thinking of you and here if you want to vent.x

So sorry @elsaesmeralda, IVF can be so cruel. A negative result is crushing and I think it's hard to explain to people but it's a kind of grief and it takes time to process. Go easy on yourself, definitely don't beat yourself up for testing, and chat on here any time you want to vent to people who've walked a similar path.

Thank you ladies. Yes ivf is cruel to some of us. I really thought I'd be one of them people where it somehow worked first time! Naive of me I suppose but it's all exciting to begin with isn't it. I'm lucky I have another 8 in the freezer, all I can do is keep going. The bleeding has totally stopped again, I just wish it would carry on as a normal period and then it would seem final. I'm going to have a hot bath tonight.
Wishing you all the best of luck ❤️

Thank you @BambiOnIce80 x

I’ve tested again this morning and it was a real squinter much weaker than yesterday. Think I’m going to leave it a few days now. I was always planning to test Sunday anyway which is when I got my result last time so at least I will know either way then

Thinking of you @elsaesmeralda

@elsaesmeralda I’m so sorry! I am only just catching up now. It hurts my heart to think about what you’re going through, and I can only wish and keep everything tightly crossed that it will all be okay, and if not, your next little bean thats transferred is your little rainbow. I will be thinking of you ❤️

@louloulemons I am also sorry for the turmoil you’ve been left in! I hope Sunday the line gets stronger. I will keeping an eye out 🤞🏼❤️

I’ll be thinking of you both regardless ❤️

Thanks for the kind words ladies
I'm feeling better today, although the bleeding stopped pretty abruptly last night I'm still having sharp stabbing pains. Is this normal? I feel really tender in my pelvic area and also the cramps were very much around my hip don't know what's normal and what's not

@elsaesmeralda so sorry you are going through this. I’m afraid I have no idea what is “normal” and what is not. I think the hardest part of this is just having no idea what is going on with your own body. Thinking of you x

@louloulemons Will keep fingers crossed for you that the line gets darker again on Sunday

Hope you’re doing ok today @elsaesmeralda

I'm okay @louloulemons thank you ❤️ best of luck for tomorrow 😊😊

Morning all,

@louloulemons how did you get on yesterday?

@elsaesmeralda how are you feeling now? Are you still getting that pain? I hope not...

Where is everyone else in their wait?

I got my surge result yesterday and went in for a scan. My lining had the three layers and is over 13mm, so no worries about it not being thick enough. Though of course I am now wondering whether there's such a thing as too thick (why do we do this to ourselves?!). There was also a 25mm follicle so that's all the checklist ticked to get my FET booked and it will be Friday. Start pessaries tomorrow. Seems surreal that it's finally happening.

Hope your weeks are off to a good start...

Good luck @lucymills1234 ! It's certainly surreal after transfer!
I'm currently 6dp5dt and still feel weird.
I can feel something, but don't know if it's all in my head. Clinic test day isn't for another 8 days but I'm thinking to test on Thursday or Friday maybe as surely that would be an accurate result?

@lucymills1234 so exciting to finally have your transfer booked! Bet you can’t wait to get on with it now! Keep us updated on how you get on!

I’ve turned into a complete testing addict but so far they are still positive and no further bleeding so allowing myself a little hope. OTD is tomorrow so almost there. I’ve had cramping every day and lots of it concentrated around my left hip which is strange.

@lucymills1234 great news about your lining, wishing you all the best for your transfer.

@louloulemons great the tests are postive 😊 congratulations

Pains have gone, had no more bleeding. Think I lost my lining all in one go with the amount of clots I had. I've accepted it hasn't worked, obviously I'm sad but trying not to think about it. I just want otd over with so I can speak to a doctor and get going to the next one

@louloulemons that sounds similar to what I have been feeling. Some pressure and 'bubbling' on left side. Fingers crossed that's a positive sign for me too!

Fingers crossed @willithappen! Mine started at 6DPT

@louloulemons ah mine have been like this since day after transfer really, not so much today. When did you test?

I tested 6DPT but only because of cramps and bleeding that day, hadn’t intended to test until day 9. And it caused more stress because the next morning, the line was much weaker. I’m finding that my FMU tests aren’t as strong as afternoon/evening.

@louloulemons ahh I'm so tempted to test today and hearing some get their positives from 6d makes me more eager but I'm terrified of a BFN so part of me wants to extend it further

Ladies I did it. I don't know why, it's mid afternoon as well and I have had a lot to drink. I needed to wee and thought 'you know what I will wee in a cup and if there is any colour I'm just going to test'
I'm 6dp5dt. My friend who also got a BFP a few weeks back from IVF will kill me for testing early because she waiting the full 15 days after to test but I just don't have that will power.

This is not a squinter!! I can't believe it!! I have just bawled my eyes out

Wow!!!! Nope that definitely isn’t a squinter at all!!!!! Congratulations lovely, such brilliant news!!!
