We ran out of space. come and chat here instead

@2mumlife ooh cool! Probably 5 days I reckon. Yay to the annual leave! Mine doesn't start until the 18th and that's when I'll likely test too! Great you get to be chilled for transfer, luckily I'm not too busy so remaining semi zen even tho I'm scared for my embryos development!

@2mumlife ah that’s great you have annual leave next week! I am transferring tomorrow and had the most stressful day ever at work today!!

@Tarsette aw sorry to hear about your day but yay for transfer tomorrow!! Is it in the morning?

@Louweeze I also transferred Monday but mine didn't even get to blastocyst but we had the option to to transfer anyway so not knowing the grades I can't help but feel I'm already out! I know I shouldn't and know I still have a chance but I just feel like if I had known the grading or the clinic wasn't so doom and gloom I'd be more hopeful.
Symptoms - nothing! Even feel as much as really well! I was so ill after EC that by the time transfer day came I was worried ET would make my symptoms worse but I've felt absolutely fine all week!

How about you? Any symptoms? Are you waiting for OTD ? I am as I really don't want to test early x

Just thought of something writing out my last post....if ET isn't successful would your body just then have a period ? Rather than waiting until OTD which seems so far away? Wouldn't your body just shed the lining if for some reason it didn't stick? I hate the thought of waiting until OTD and I just don't fancy testing early? I'm sort of expecting my periods just because I know our chances are so low
I can't however just switch off and almost feel in limbo so I know if my period does come I can have a bit of a reset. It's the just waiting that is so hard x

@strawberrysummer19 stay positive lovely you never know stranger things have happened ❤ I feel fine just quite crampy and I don't know if it's a good or bad thing and it's stressing me out 🤣 I don't think I can wait until otd as it's 9 days away! I'm defo going to cave it's just a case of when....

@strawberrysummer19 I had exactly the same thoughts as you and the thought of getting hopeful by lack of my period rather than testing which is too stressful. But I understand the progesterone supplements postpone our period. Although some people do bleed before test date some get a negative result, stop the progesterone and only then bleed.

@strawberrysummer19 I'm not 100% sure but I think the progesterone tabs will stop you having a period before otd... maybe?

@Louweeze @jolly86 oh I see i didn't realise that it stopped your period ! I start my new job Monday and it's going into an office so I think I'm going to be looking out for it!!! So cruel in a way I feel! X

@notyetamumbuttrying Got the word that's my transfer planned for Friday (just before my birthday and all, at least I'll be in blissful ignorance still come by birthday as to whether its worked or not...

@Tarsette That's rubbish to have such a stressful day for ET. Are you excited or nervous for tomorrow? Hope everything goes well tomorrow! I know you know a lot about lining, do you think mine will thicken a bit before ET? We've only got 1 frostie so feeling nervous about clinic getting it right this time after awful EC last time. I had been expecting the leave to fall in the middle of the TWW but my AF was a little late, but I'm really pleased ET falls on day we're heading home, so we can just detour to pick up an embryo

@jolly86 @strawberrysummer19 Progesterone doesn;t stop everyone bleeding (my AF came 4dp5dt on my fresh cycle despite progesterone)

Hi everyone, hope it's ok to join. I had egg collection on Tuesday after swimming for 12 days. Out of 8 eggs collected, only 2 fertilised. I'm booked in for a transfer on Sunday. Fingers crossed those wee eggs make it to then ❤️ I've read through most of this thread and it's comforting to know I'm not alone, it's such an emotional rollercoaster eh?!

@itsmschanandlerbong welcome ! This bunch are such a lovely group of supportive ladies
I've found lots of comfort here
Good luck for ET xx

Hi everyone, just popping in to say my bloods came back as 14.9, so nearly tripled in 51 hours, still super low for 4+3 weeks and still in the grey zone. I'm back on Monday for more bloods 🤞 for more clarity then.
Thank you for your good wishes!

Glad you have a transfer date @2mumlife hope you have a good break too

Good luck @Tarsette

Hope the tww are going well @strawberrysummer19 @Louweeze and anyone else I've missed!

Hopefully we get more positive news soon :)

@VenusStarr been thinking of you and wondering how you were getting on. Sending love.

It's ok. I feel quite resolute really. I feel
In limbo so I'm trying to take it easy etc
I love having time off this week and have used it as a bit of a recharge with my little one. So that's been nice but I also feel I just want to know now so I can properly grieve! X just trying to process why so many didn't make it to blastocyst x

@VenusStarr What a rollercoaster of emotions! Is your clinic now calling this a BFP after saying it was a BFN . Hope those numbers keep going up for you!

@2mumlife ooh Friday, as in tomorrow??
@itsmschanandlerbong hi same timeline as me. EC was Tuesday and transfer is Sunday. I don't get a day 3 update so will find out on Sunday if I still have embryos going or not!
@VenusStarr 🤞🏾for Monday!! So up and down for you ♥️

Still in the grey zone @2mumlife I think if I get over 25 I'll officially be pregnant. Although she said if my levels go down on Monday it'll be a miscarriage 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤞 I get to 60 by Monday. My tests were stronger today, so I think they have gone up a bit and I'm showing on the 25miu tests, that had better progression than the frer, but both are clear positives now.

I'm glad you're having a good week @strawberrysummer19 I'm keeping everything crossed for you for a good outcome on test day. X

Thank you @notyetamumbuttrying x

@2mumlife @notyetamumbuttrying thank you for the good wishes.
Wanted to pop in to say I got a positive result today. Very cautious as had a very early miscarriage before. @C1aire85 I had the same embryo as you.

@jolly86 that's amazing congrats!!! Did you wait until otd? Or test early

@notyetamumbuttrying Week on Friday sorry I wasn't being clear! I've got a round of progesterone injections to go through before ET

@VenusStarr What a limbo to be in, but it means there is till everything to play for at the moment! Come on little embryo!

@jolly86 Oooo a cautious congratulations for you! How exciting!

@jolly86 congratulations 🥳 I really hope all works out well for you ♥️
@2mumlife I thought so, but just wanted to make sure lol! Oh injections rather than pessaries, that's interesting. Best of luck 🤞🏾

@jolly86 congrats that's great!! X

Thanks everyone [love] @Louweeze I tested early according to OTD (tomorrow) but it is 11dp5dt today so not so early. I got optimistic due to not getting a period like @strawberrysummer19 mentioned- but there is no guarantee as for some people the progesterone prevents the period.

@VenusStarr, hoping for the happy outcome for you! It must be so hard not to know and to keep waiting but at least there is hope!

@2mumlife, my bd is next Friday :)

@strawberrysummer19, I had my period several days after stopping progesteron both times, and also know that it would "normally" postpone your period (might depend on your own progesteron level too)
