Stay positive @beachbum85 you're not out yet! Keeping everything crossed for you and @6543336787gesgvjhg xx

I'm 3dp5dt today and I haven't got a clue how I'm going to make it until test day, it already feels like forever!

Sungirl11 · 08/04/2021 11:13

Hi girls!
Anyone has a similar protocol to mine? Starting on CD9 after Prostap and having Pergoveris and Gonal F injection?

I already had my period and i'm bleeding again today as if I had a light period again haha not sure if it's normal Confused

beachbum85 · 08/04/2021 12:30

Thanks so much @6543336787gesgvjhg and @Bethpalmer20!
The wait is really hard - I was fine for the first week but it has become increasingly difficult. Stay strong with the wait you too :) fingers crossed all around x

No, sorry @Sungirl11, I had Gonal F but after Buserelin starting CD21, so I'm afraid I have no advice there :/

ForeverHopeful17 · 08/04/2021 12:50

So sorry that your embryo didn't make it @Donimo sending you lots of love x

@RedFaerieBoots I'm sorry you got a BFN, I'm wishing you the best of luck for when you're ready to try again x

@beachbum85 I know it's so much easier said than done but please try to stay positive, fingers crossed it's the effects of implantation x

@Bethpalmer20 I know exactly how you feel, that's how I felt a couple of days ago. Fortunately I've got lots on at the moment and it's keeping me occupied x

Crazydoglady123 · 08/04/2021 16:16

Absolutely gutted for you @Donimo. Sending virtual hugs

@RedFaerieBoots sorry for the BFN

Hoping all you girls in the TWW get you BFP's... Hang in there! ❤️

Freya2015 · 08/04/2021 16:36

@beachbum85 it could be implantation bleeding try and stay positive

My boobs are sore and i have a few cramps this morning and thats all

I have very irregular periods so I wont even bleed i am so scared but thinking very positively find out on Monday

beachbum85 · 08/04/2021 17:20

@ForeverHopeful17 @Crazydoglady123 @Freya2015
Thank you ladies! Trying not to get down, but these last few hours are really crawling past... Good thing it's been a busy day at work!

@Freya2015 I think those are all very normal symptoms but, yes, it's all pretty scary. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that Monday comes around quickly and gives you a positive result!

@ForeverHopeful17 how are you feeling in the tww?
@Crazydoglady123 how are you doing?

Freya2015 · 08/04/2021 17:26

@beachbum85 thank you I am very positive

When are you due to test?

beachbum85 · 08/04/2021 17:31

Tomorrow morning @Freya2015! Both excited and terrified...

Lclarke111 · 08/04/2021 18:22

How you feeling @beachbum85 will be thinking fo you tomorrow!!

Thinking of you all in the tww!! We have had our day 3 update and the 19 fertilised are still growing strong, have been told it is likely they can halve by day 5, so staying optimistic but keeping myself busy, we are going for a frozen transfer so we won't be transferring until June time, if we make it that far x

beachbum85 · 08/04/2021 19:47

Thanks @Lclarke111! As you can see I'm whiling away the time here as I count down the hours :D
That's truly amazing... 19 growing strong... I'm sure you must be over the moon!! Even if they do halve, you have such a strong number there :) very glad for you x

Lclarke111 · 08/04/2021 19:52

@beachbum85 paying the price for that amount of eggs/ so much pain, doubled over tonight due to compacted bowels and swollen ovaries xx

beachbum85 · 08/04/2021 20:04

@Lclarke111 oh no, I'm sorry to hear that, that's tough! I had compacted bowels after EC and it was one of the worst nights of my life... I really feel for you.
I'm very sorry if this is TMI or sounds disgusting but I found SOME relief by spraying hot water up my bum... god I never thought I'd be posting that online but at that point I'd try anything... and using a hot water bottle. I hope you feel better soon x

Lclarke111 · 08/04/2021 20:17

@beachbum85 nothing is TMI for us ladies lol! I was ok for the past few days whilst constipated but it's the build up, I tried prune juice this morning and now in a world of pain, lots of water and hot water bottle is on my tummy to try help it all. God us women suffer don't we lol x

Narwhal88 · 08/04/2021 20:35

@Lclarke111 I used this and it helps, you can get it in supermarkets, I also took their capsules www.dulcolax.co.uk/products/dulcosoft-powder-oral-solution

@Crazydoglady123 how are you doing on down regs?

Crazydoglady123 · 08/04/2021 20:52

@Lclarke111 amazing news on your eggs! I had that after I over stimulated on Clomid first time. Get your OH to go to the pharmacy and buy some micro enemas. They work the best.

@beachbum85 @Narwhal88 I feel like a 80 year old woman needing naps! I had some sharps pains yesterday and earlier today on my right hand side so praying I've not now got a cyst on my right ovary 🙏 Feel bloated tonight for the first time too. No sign of my bleed yet but next Wanda scan is on Tuesday (my birthday typically!)

Lclarke111 · 09/04/2021 05:26

Thank you @Narwhal88 and @Crazydoglady123 I am defo getting the OH to the chemist tonight, the strange thing is that I have flu like aches all over my body but no other flu symptoms, very strange x

Freya2015 · 09/04/2021 08:14

@beachbum85 thinking of you hope you’re well and you have the BFP fingers crossed really praying for you

beachbum85 · 09/04/2021 08:58

Thank you @Freya2015, but unfortunately it was a BFN for me this morning :(
Very disappointing, of course, but I'm just trying to focus on the fact that we got so far... We'll just have to try again.
I'll still be following your journeys and keeping everything crossed and I'm wishing you all the very best of luck for positive results x

@Lclarke111 I hope you feel better soon!
@Crazydoglady123 fingers crossed that it's not a cyst and your period shows soon!

I hope everyone else is doing OK x

Freya2015 · 09/04/2021 09:01

@beachbum85 i am so sorry to hear that . I hope you’re okay?

Yes I am praying lots i have a positive feeling but lets see

Bethpalmer20 · 09/04/2021 09:15

@beachbum85 so sorry to hear that, do look after yourself and allow your body to recover. Sending a big hug xx

@freya2015 @narwhal88 sorry so hard to keep up with everyone but I'm sure you're both due to test soon? Keeping everything crossed for you. Wednesday is my OTD. I had a couple of hours of dull like cramps on my right side yesterday but absolutely nothing today. Trying not to symptom spot too much

Narwhal88 · 09/04/2021 09:34

@beachbum85 so sorry it hasn't worked this time. Take care of yourself ❤️

@Bethpalmer20 my OTD is Tuesday but I am 10dp5dt tomorrow so I'm going to test then as it should show by then and I won't be at work. Are you going to test early or wait till Wednesday?

6543336787gesgvjhg · 09/04/2021 09:37

@beachbum85 so sorry to hear this 😢 was it your first time with IVF? Sending hugs your way.

I think me @Narwhal88@ @Freya2015 are due all to test very soon. Hope I don't that right!! I'm due to test Monday but thinking to try in the morning as the tests are coming today!!!! Thinking positive vibes. I've felt like my period is coming. I was up in the night so bloated again couldn't get comfortable I just pray it's a good sign 😟😫😟😫

I also keep going really hot and that's how I get before I come on 😭

OP posts:
Bethpalmer20 · 09/04/2021 09:50

@narwhal88 I'd imagine you'd get an accurate result 10dp5dt. I've definitely thought about testing early, maybe Monday as I'm off work, but OTD is 9dp5dt so I don't want to risk testing too early incase it's BFN and I'll be driving myself mad wondering if its accurate or if its because I tested early.. Monday would be 7dp5dt which I guess is probably too early..

Ahh yes @6543336787gesgvjhg I knew I'd missed someone! Keeping everything crossed for you xx
