7dp5dt FET

Hey everyone, I'm currently 7dp5dt on my first FET. I had a failed fresh transfer last year I started spotting at 6dp5dt so I new I was out the game! We had 3 left in the freezer so had one 5BA blastocyst transferred on the 20th of April 😀 I have not really had that many symptoms. I had cramping the evening of transfer and then right side cramping 2dp5dt. The day of 5dp5dt my belly just felt weird and my nipples were tingly and felt a bit sicky. I came home from work and just had to take a test and to my surprise it came back with a bfp!! My line is getting stronger but ofcourse I'm still so worried! My OTD isn't till the 5th of May 😱🙏 not sure what I'm asking but anyone else with the same sort of dates? Xxx pic of my tests :) xxx

Also pessarys are you front or back? As at the front it can also sometimes make you spot abit?!?

So have you girls had intercourse with your partners since transfer?
We haven't dtd since before transfer and know we are kind of nervous doing it as before with my ectopic and early miscarriage we dtd and next morning I have started spotting.
We might wait until we have a scan and hopefully find out everything is okay with our little bean.

@Mumofone07 hahaha good question! We haven't during the whole process! I am scared to death of getting an infection or anything and i've been like... NO! Hahah I just don't want anything to harm my baby right now... so i'd rather help him with his game and stay calm myself hahah
And with hormones and everything he has been veeeery needy hahahahhaah I'm dead! 😂

Mumofone07 · 06/05/2021 15:23

I totally know what you mean. I still haven't had a bath yet just showers ans I do love a soak when I get in from work Grin hubby is obviously understanding and wants us to wait as don't want any harm to come to out little bean. Xx

That makes total sense re the spotting! Thanks lovely as it helps reassure.
Boobs are killing me today so hopefully that's a good sign too!
I'm front for pessaries. It hadn't interfered with anything before but I did do one that morning at work at was stood up and did it super quick so maybe I did knock something with that?
I'm on 2 pessaries twice a day at the moment now, but nothing has happened with that. Clinic only had 200mg ones so had to double up to get my 400mg dose! Hopefully getting 400mg from my chemist tomorrow morning :)

I haven't dtd since transfer, we did the day before or day before that and I was so worried that the doctor would spot spent in my cervix or anywhere up there lol
I'm scared of miscarriage also so I think I'm going to hold off. Partner hasn't pressure or said anything about it so hopefully he's managing fine lol

Mumofone07 · 07/05/2021 09:39

Hopefully that's why you had a bit of spotting. Are you in cyclogist? I have heard that one has been hard to get lately. This cycle I'm on ustrogen I think it's called. Lol
I don't blame you we will be holding off too. Hubby will understand:)

Good luck with beta today @sungirl11 what time you got to go in?

@Mumofone07 i'm here now! 😱😱😱

Mumofone07 · 07/05/2021 09:53

Ohh good luck! :D

@Mumofone07 will know around 3pm...
Longest wait!
If it's over 100 they just book the scan in 3 weeks directly.
I was given Utrogestan, in place of Cyclogest (because if the shortage).
It's 3 instead of 2 a day because of the dose. But all same.
And will have to continue progesterone pessaries and injections for another 3 weeks.
Awww this is becoming real and is so hard to believe it isn't it?

willithappen · 07/05/2021 11:48

I'm on cyclogest yeah but don't have enough to last past another week so hoping they can get more before then. Not sure what would happen if I switched on to something else mid way?
My clinic has a shortage but GP got me a weeks worth yesterday and are trying to get more
Wonder what's causing the shortage

Sungirl11 · 07/05/2021 12:04

@willithappen it's exactly the same thing. I have Cyclogest (6 pessaries left) and then just change. The only difference is the brand.
I believe shortage must be because of too many treatments going on? Everyone maybe going for IVF after all the lockdown and everything. Haha i guess!

willithappen · 07/05/2021 13:18

@Sungirl11 that's reassuring then! Know what I'm like and over thinking and analysing everything haha

Mumofone07 · 07/05/2021 13:35

That's what I'm on and tbh I do find them better then the cyclogest. So @Sungirl11 you will only be on them until 7ish weeks? I got to stay on them unti I'm 12 weeks.

OP posts:
willithappen · 07/05/2021 13:39

I have to stay on until 12 weeks also!

Sungirl11 · 07/05/2021 14:01

I don't know tbh! Maybe they give me until the scan and if all good then until 12w? By the looks of it they go "day by day". Maybe so I don't buy loads if maybe not pregnant or MC or something. No clue! Haha they said my scan will be at 7w, but will confirm once I get beta results. So it will be around 25th.
I also find these new ones easier! With the applicator thing.

I am already really nervous! I need that reassurance call.

Mumofone07 · 07/05/2021 15:37

That could be why. I just had to pay £168 for meds to last me until 12 weeks.

Hopefully you will receive that call soon 🙏

willithappen · 07/05/2021 15:41

GP text and had my prescription , picked it up and looks like they have managed to get enough cyclogest for me to last until 12 weeks so good news. I have all the medication now

Sungirl11 · 07/05/2021 15:43

@Mumofone07 mine cost £202 for a week!! The injections are really expensive.
I just called as it went passed 3pm and apparently they had a power cut so couldn't check results yet.
Jeeesuuus I have the worst luck ever!

Mumofone07 · 07/05/2021 15:46

Oh wow those injections are expensive!!

Oh noo🙈 I had someone in the fb ivf group wait all day for her results but couldn't get them in the end as the machine broke! So she had to wait the next day and didn't even take a pregnancy test to find out! 🙈

Sungirl11 · 07/05/2021 17:19

Yay!!! Beta results are out! 641 😍

willithappen · 07/05/2021 18:21

Amazing @Sungirl11 congrats!!!

Mumofone07 · 07/05/2021 18:51

@Sungirl11 that's great news congratulations hun :)

Sungirl11 · 11/05/2021 12:56

How are you doing?
I went yesterday for a private beta so I could check if it was doubling... haha crazy people things!
So in 3 days it has gone from 641 to 2052. I'm a bit better now that i know it's going up nicely!

How are you holding there? I am 5w today, so now a tww until scan day 😍

Sungirl11 · 18/05/2021 08:57

@Mumofone07 how did your scan go yesterday? Xx

Mumofone07 · 18/05/2021 09:32

Morning, sorry been a very busy/stressful week 😔

Well at my scan yesterday I should of been 6w4d but baby was measuring 5w6d she couldn't really say for definite if she could see the heartbeat so she wants me back for another scan next week. But apart from that everything is okay and in the right place. She said it is normal for it to be a few days out as they are so tiny at the minute so it could catch up. So trying to think positive 🙏

How are you doing?

OP posts:
Sungirl11 · 18/05/2021 09:37

@Mumofone07 that is good! It is really early tbh and in reality we don't know when implantation occurred. Maybe it took a few more days.
Also as you say it is difficult now to determine how big it is as it's tiny and weird haha
Fab! Let us know how it goes next week.
I'm ok... still feeling the same, no nausea or anything. 6w today (to the book) but will see in a weeks time on my 7w scan haha

@willithappen how are you?
