Hello! Please can I join? I had my embryo transfer yesterday, my second FET from my first round of IVF. Fresh transfer was cancelled due to risk of OHSS. First FET failed.
I feel pretty much normal tbh, had some light spotting today which is likely from the procedure yesterday. I hate the two week wait, we are going to Dorset on a mini break which will help some of it pass.

ImHopeful · 10/04/2021 17:19

Hi ladies,

Congrats to those who got a bpf!
Im back here after my failed cycle in November, now on 2nd round 4dp5dt, and started having backache and cramps, similar to my last cycle which is really worrying me. Im on 2 cyclogest/day, 1 lubion and 3 eastrogen/day. Has anyone had similar symptoms this early?

Thanks

ImHopeful · 10/04/2021 17:24

Welcome @Gensola
Its good that you had forsties, ive heard that frozen has better chance of working. Enjoy your mini break, ive just finished my week off work and back on Monday. As long as you can distract yourself somehow.
Every day of the tww lasts forever!

6543336787gesgvjhg · 10/04/2021 17:51

@Gensola welcome!

@ImHopeful thank you, still doesn't feel real I will be testing any tomorrow to triple check 🤣 I'm 4 weeks 2 days apparently. The only symptoms I have is very bloated at night time, struggle to get comfy in bed, random pain in right side like it's my hip that I can't get comfy. Other than that feel normal feel like the tests have lied to me. I'm sure as the weeks go though I'll get more 🤞

Hey @imhopeful you are a day behind me, I'm 5dp5dt today! I had period like cramps at 1dp and 2dp and then at 3dp had some cramps that were completely different and I could only describe as a dull type pain?! Nothing really since then apart from sore spots on my face and dry mouth, which is probably completely unrelated! The days feel like they're going so slowly!

Orsh · 10/04/2021 21:52

Hi Ladies,

I am sorry for being off for the past week, I have had a crazy week at work.

I am so sorry for your result @Donimo. I really wanted your one to be The One.

I am sorry to hear about your BFNs @beachbum85, @RedFaerieBoots, @Ganiyatou and @Narwhal88. I send a lot of positive energy your way.

I kept everything crossed and was hoping you were going to have a BFP this time. I hope it is not long before you have it.

It is amazing how you support everyone on their journey Donimo and Beachbum.

Congratulations to everyone on their BFP and good luck to you all who are on the 2WW.

I have some updates. After a lot of discussions and a new baseline scan I was allowed to start stimulation 5 days after the original start date, as I was on my CD3 then. (Apparently the original date would have been too early anyway... interesting)
I was very happy as I thought I was out.

So now I am on day 4 of Meriofert, starting Fyremadel tomorrow with my next scan on Tuesday (13th).

Lclarke111 · 11/04/2021 07:44

Great news for you @Orsh, how you finding them so far? X

6543336787gesgvjhg · 11/04/2021 09:37

@Bethpalmer20 that's how mine was like period cramps but hardly there. Very spotty face too. I kept getting hot like before I come on as well and more so throughout the days. Haven't noticed getting up in the night for a wee either so that might be a bit later on. Fingers crossed for a positive for you. I don't actually feel pregnant, don't think it's sunk in at all! Did two more clear blue tests today to confirm haha

Bethpalmer20 · 11/04/2021 09:54

That is so good to know @6543336787gesgvjhg I feel like I have very similar symptoms. I definitely relate to the feeling hot as well, I'm normally always cold but had a few 'hot flashes'?? I managed to hold off testing for another day. 6dp5dt and impatient as ever Grin

Gensola · 11/04/2021 10:54

Only 2dp5dt here and already impatient 😂 I had some spotting / brown EWCM yesterday but otherwise no symptoms. Not sure how I’m going to make it to the 20th!

6543336787gesgvjhg · 11/04/2021 11:20

@Bethpalmer20 @Gensola you can do it ladies. I was worried about testing too soon and getting a negativity. I didn't have any spotting but one morning around the day of period I wiped and tiny bit of light period like the tiniest bit and then nothing since!

Beth - yeah I just go all hot all of a sudden and then back to normal happened every day now.

OP posts:
ImHopeful · 11/04/2021 12:01

@Bethpalmer20 i have dry mouth at night and early morning, had it in my last cylce too.

@Gensola the spotting is from the transfer most probably. I had spotting las time but this time round as if nothing has happened, no discomfort no spotting.

A weird thing that happened during my transfer, the embryo was stuck to catheder the first time and the Dr had to try again. Has this happened to anyone before? Or is this purely due to lack of professionalism?

Bethpalmer20 · 11/04/2021 12:14

@imhopeful I've not personally had it happen to me but I've read a lot of threads and it seems to be something that happens quite a lot and doesn't affect success in any way! X

Orsh · 11/04/2021 21:54

I find them okay @Lclarke111 Thank you.
But I am being very conscious about how I am doing them and how I prep for them after my issue with it last week.
It takes me forever though, but I am very excited to do them as they get me closer to my scan on Tuesday 😊

Sounds wonderful that you have 16 embryos waiting. When will you hear about the testing?

Freya2015 · 11/04/2021 22:21

Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow morning 🤞🏽

Sungirl11 · 11/04/2021 22:36

@Orsh i'm glad you could start again! We are on the same page Smile I go to my second scan tomorrow (day6)

Good luck to all the testers tomorrow! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Orsh · 12/04/2021 00:28

Thank you @Sungirl11.
Yes, we have a very similar timeline, I Also started my stims on 7th, like you, and I have lots of tiny follicles too 😊.

How are you feeling with the stims? I have some lower abdominal discomfort on my left side and in the middle, but I feel absolutely fine.

Good luck with your scan today🤞

Sungirl11 · 12/04/2021 01:31

@Orsh yay! It's good to have someone on the same page haha
I'm feeling completely ok! I have no symptoms at all (bled the first day but that was it) and I feel really up and excited! Haha i've always been a bit crazy so not strange in me.
What meds are you on?

Xx

Freya2015 · 12/04/2021 06:14

I tested negative i did two tests one first response and other was a clear blue. Both came out negative will be contacting the clinic to arrange a blood test

6543336787gesgvjhg · 12/04/2021 07:48

@Freya2015 sorry to hear this Freya - what day were you testing on? My clinic advised me to test two days later if that happens. Xx

OP posts:
Freya2015 · 12/04/2021 07:53

@6543336787gesgvjhg i tested on 11dp 3dt
I will be waiting for a blood test to find out my result

Crazydoglady123 · 12/04/2021 08:15

Hey ladies,

Sorry I posted my meme on this group instead of another group I'm on but it's pretty true as to how I'm feeling! CD32 today, day 12 of buserelin injections, my baseline scan tomorrow and no sign of my bleed as of yet 😔

@Freya2015 I'm so sorry. Fingers crossed you just need a couple more days 🤞

@Orsh you must be so pleased the delay was okay and that you've mastered the injections now!

@6543336787gesgvjhg congratulations!
