Transfer this week?

[IloveHaroldBishop]

Hi,

Is anyone else having or had a transfer this week? I need people to talk to during the TWW! x

Great to hear @IloveHaroldBishop and absolutely! I thought I wanted symptoms but now I'm wishing them away 😂 fearing it's period. Such a roller-coaster this! X

Morning everyone!

Rollercoaster is indeed the word for it 😂 I know you shouldn’t symptom spot, but it is so annoying that all the symptoms I have been getting could also be the medication! Cramps, although they eased yesterday and don’t have any today, sore boobs which I’ve never had before, headache, tiredness. Just have to continue to hope, and see next Friday.

Today is the first day I am home alone since the transfer, other half left at 7:30am to his spend the day with his ex and their child. I always feel awful when he is spending time with her (I know he is going there to see his son and not her, but still) so need to try and not let myself spiral today. Must stay positive.

Stay strong @Goldilocks2528 Aww I think I'd feel exactly the same with the ex thing, totally understandable. How long are you waiting to test?
Well yesterday was weird for me.. So much cramping all day and other period symptoms. Today, nothing and boobs not sore. Cervix still low.

Weirdest thing was night sweats! I got them very minor on buserelin but they disappeared when I took stims. Last night it was like the most intense ever... Like a bucket of ice water all over me, the duvet etc. I had to change duvet, clothes and sleep on a towel! Never woke up like that. I've never had these in other pregnancies so maybe it's not related.
Day 6 for me today so I took a clear blue and it was negative.
What a long blurb haha sorry! Xx

Hi @Rachae. Thanks 🙂

I’m not going to test until next Friday morning, the official day. I just know if I test before then and it’s negative the mental torture between then and Friday will be even worse for me, and until I test there’s some hope so I’m going to wait.

Crikey. That sounds like a lot to be dealing with. I did read that Cyclogest can cause hot flushes but that’s more than that. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about though, everyone reacts differently and at different times of their life too as their body changes x

If my transfer was Monday I assume Tuesday was classed as day 1? In which case I’m on day 5. Never thought the mental anguish of the wait would be as all consuming as it is in reality! Can totally understand why you tested, but don’t let the fact that it was negative get you down. Still plenty of time for that to change. When is your official test day? X

@Goldilocks2528 oo were very close! I'm on day 6 today. Aww yea i get the hope for the testing decision. I think with me, I actually feel more in control by testing every day now... So today, I feel like it hasn't worked. So I've accepted that, and anything else is a bonus. Sounds weird but helps me just get on with my weekend now, rather than feel in limbo. On the other hand.. It is always nice to remain hopeful!

My official test day is Tuesday (which is 9dp5dt,what my clinic recommend) . I've just seen online so many people getting a BFP very faint line from day 6... Not everyone tho, but thought it was worth a punt! I used a clear blue today and using FRER tomorrow. Xx

Good luck for tomorrow @Rachae🤞

Good luck @Rachae with the FRER tomorrow. I've approached the testing thing differently on different cycles but this time I will be doing the same as you. It helps me to deal with the negative result and if it's positive that's a bonus. I've been testing out my trigger too. Still there yesterday. Will check again tomorrow.

@Goldilocks2528 totally get your testing strategy too. In the past I have often thought I'd test early when TTC naturally then changed my mind nearer the time as not wanted to take the dream away!

Definitely horses for courses as they say!

@IloveHaroldBishop how are you? Not long until your test day now. Also you mentioned you were on steroids. Do you mind me asking which as I am also on them and feeling rough. Prednisone.

@Ivfgottahope how are things with you? Xxx

Thanks @Goldilocks2528
@Janefx40 yea good idea on the trigger shot test! Mine went out super early, like 1dp5dt was negative! Are you testing every day then?

Hope everyone's ok and the weather's nice where you are xx

Yeah same ones @Janefx40Prednisolone for me too. What dose are you on? Are you on other meds too? The side effects can be hard to deal with.

I found getting up early and going for a nice walk today started the day in a different, positive way. Just doing anything I can to fill the time at the moment. Lots of Netflix and TV too xx

@IloveHaroldBishop I'm on 10mg a day of Pred. I'm also taking Cyclogest twice a day, Lubion twice a day, Clexane twice a day and aspirin!
Good plan to get out for a walk. Maybe I need more fresh air!

@Rachae I did a day 2 transfer so tomorrow will be the equivalent of 1dp5dt for me. I didn't test today but will tomorrow. Yesterday was much fainter so hopefully gone by tomorrow

X

I’m on 20mg a day now and think my body has adjusted to it now. Do you get thirsty? I do but I’m not sure if it’s linked to the meds? Xx

Morning and Happy Easter! I'm out this round I'm afraid, as got a negative on first response today. Wishing all of you lots of luck for your test days coming up xxx

@Rachae I'm so sorry. It's never easy when it doesn't work. I've seen my fair share of negative tests. How are you feeling? I know you have 2 in the freezer so hopefully that makes it feel like it's not the end. Sending you so much love. Eat extra chocolate and be nice to yourself xxx

Sending you massive hugs @Rachae. I’m so sorry to read this. I hope you are doing ok, although I know realistically you’re probably not. You have some nice little frozen possibilities, so when you feel ready you have other options. Sending you much love xxx

Thanks both I'm okish.. disapointed but i really did expect it given the negative test the other day and pms type symptoms. So it's helped to manage my expectations. Yes great to have some in the freezer and lots of hope ahead xxx

@Rachae be kind to yourself today and this week. ♥️Gosh it’s such a horrible journey but you are so so strong to have got this far xxxx

Thanks @IloveHaroldBishop ❤️❤️

Hi ladies
I hope I’m not too late to join this thread.
My partner and I (both women) had a transfer on Tuesday and so we are in the dreaded 2ww.
Our last transfer ended with a mc at 7 weeks.
Our OTD is next Monday but we have decided to do a POAS on Thursday.
I feel sick with worry to be honest.
She has had exactly the same symptoms as the last time when we got the BFP: fuller boobs, cramping around implantation.

I just can’t imagine it working for us now. I don’t want to be negative at all to her but I hoped this would be a safe place for me to share.

I’m also medical which I think just makes me so aware of everything that can go wrong.

Wishing you all the best.

Welcome @MaggieMoo86
I totally get your worry. I also had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and am in TWW after a FET (double).
Sending you lots of love and just try and take each minute/hour at a time.
Try and both keep busy if you can too xx

Hi @MaggieMoo86 welcome. It's totally understandable to feel this way. It is so difficult doing all this again after a loss. I had a mmc at 9 weeks last summer. There is a part of me that will find it easier if this cycle ends in a BFN than the anxiety of a BFP.

I just do my best to distract myself e.g spending way too much time on Mumsnet and FB. At least that way I'm channelling my obsession into other people's situations as well as my own. The 2 WW is so tough.

Xxx

@MaggieMae21 sorry for your loss 💐💐and fx for this transfer xxx

Hi @MaggieMoo86. Waiting to find out is so hard. I’m trying to take each day as it comes and not even think about the possibility of it working too much. My way of coping I suppose. Other half has touched my tummy a few times and said “Is there a little baby in there?”, which is both lovely and stressful at the same time!
Best of luck for you both on this cycle 🤞

@Rachae I’m so so sorry, sending you lots of love and a huge hug. Hope you’ve been kind to yourself and fingers crossed for you with your next round ❤️

@Janefx40 I’m ok thank you, I’ve had a few days off the internet as I was getting obsessive and convincing myself it was curtains. My bleeding stopped thankfully and I’m going to hospital tomorrow for my beta test. Hope you had a lovely weekend?

@Goldilocks2528 hope you’re ok too and had a lovely Easter weekend - not much longer for you to wait now is it? Although every day does feel like an eternity!

Best of luck to you both @MaggieMoo86 @MaggieMae21 ive got everything crossed for you

Hi @Ivfgottahope, wishing you all the luck in the world for tomorrow ❤️🤞 So glad your bleeding stopped and you are doing ok.

Yes the time is dragging!! 4 more sleeps until test day. Starting to feel quite nervous now.

Thanks to you all!
I’m at work the next few days (partner is off luckily). We just have to get through until Thursday.
Any tips to making this time go faster???
