Good luck for you ladies due to test soon! The restraint is commendable!

@2mumlife I got my call, the remaining 4 didn't make it so it's 3 frozen for me.

@Louweeze thank you! When's your otd?

@C1aire85 sorry I didn't see your message before I wrote mine! It could be implantation that is definitely around the right time because I read online the blast should implant 1-2 days after ET and if its brown its old blood. Keep up updated please FX for you that it's implantation blood and it stops!!

@notyetamumbuttrying it's not until 12th! Feels like forever!

@alexm06 ooh OK so cramps could be a good sign. It's the fact I had sore boobs and now they have gone that is confusing me! If it's he pessaries causing the symptoms but I'm still taking the pessaries why would my boobs stop hurting? 😫 this is torture

@Louweeze so you could test two days early then if you were really struggling to hold out, as long as it's a first response, early detection it should be accurate. I reckon I'll test two days earlier than otd.

@Louweeze My boobs stopped hurting just before my AF came on my fresh cycle I'm sorry to say but FX it's not the same for you

@notyetamumbuttrying 3 frozen is still phenomenal!

@Louweeze it's hard isn't it I feel like all I do is symptom spot. My cramps are very minor so I don't think there is much to it. My test day is the 12th too but I'm going to try and hold out till Thursday morning.

Thanks ladies - really hoping it's implantation but dreading the worst. I did a cheap test today - negative so doesn't bode well but still only 5dp5dt.
@Louweeze my boobs have stopped hurting too but still getting occasional mild cramps.
@2mumlife thanks :) will keep taking meds until told otherwise.
This wait is like torture isn't it.

To make it worse I'm on an online course today at home for work via Microsoft teams ... introductions start and first girl "Hi I'm Katie and I'm pregnant." " Fuck off Katie"

**obvs didn't actually say that!! And she's really lovely!! I'm just super jealous of her 😂

@C1aire85 I don't even have cramps now after having loads last week! Literally nothing not even bloated anymore. Haha no I'm the exactly same I low key hate everyone pregnant especially the ones that got preggers accidentally 😅😅

@2mumlife yes, I'm happy with what I got. It was to expected with the attrition rate 🙂
@C1aire85 bless you babe! Well done from refraining saying fuck off tbh!! I'm certainly not announcing my pregnancy (if it happens) at work at all. My boss knows about ivf and my close colleague so they'll know. Everyone else will have to see if/when I go into the office with a bump! You just don't know what ppl are going through so I'd never now.
@clolo thank you hun, how are you?

Has anyone had their progesterone levels tested after transfer? I had mine tested today and they came back at 95 which is quite a bit lower than in previous cycles (where they were around 200 at this point) so I am now worrying about that!

Hey everyone, congratulations to everyone with a BFP (@Georgie87B looking at you!) and fingers crossed to everyone currently PUPO.

@VenusStarr are you okay? Everything especially crossed for you x

I had my baseline scan last Friday (which they neglected to put on my calendar so I got in a right panic when they asked if I was outside clinic on Thursday) and everything seemed okay - lining around 5mm, although the nurse couldn't find my ovaries at first and I appear to have grown a fibroid since last December? It's one that is outside the uterus on a stalk so they don't seem too bothered by it, but I'm slightly freaked out by my womb mushroom 😬

Day 3 of stims and my headache has gone and starting to feel a bit normal again! Can't wait until the 18th (provisional EC) 🤞

Hello, quick message while I am travelling back from my ET, I am now PUPO! 🙂 now let's see how good my self control is, my OTD is 18th 🤞🤞🤞

@TheSnufflet thank you!! 😊 Glad your baseline scan went well and you are starting to feel better in yourself. Hope the rest of stims goes smoothly for you and the 18th comes round quick for EC!! 👍

Woo hoo @StrongEagle congratulations on being PUPO!! 🎉🎊👏

@C1aire85 got everything crossed that it's implantation bleeding and a good sign for you 🤞🤞

@Tarsette I never had my progesterone tested I'm afraid so can't be of much help but didn't want to ignore your question. Hope it's nothing to worry about 🤞

Sending my love to everyone else and hope you all are OK! Xx

@StrongEagle whoop! Day behind me! I've already decided I'm testing early 😝 just two days early though.
@TheSnufflet yay for the headaches to be gone! I have a small fibroid too, also on outside wall of my uterus and they didn't see it as an issue.

Thank you @Georgie87B and @notyetamumbuttrying i am going to try so so so hard to wait until 17th so we will probs test the same day? I do worry about my lack of self control so I am going to try really hard to not buy any tests until next Tuesday ready to test Thursday xx

@StrongEagle I'll be testing on the 15th I reckon. I already have a leftover frer from my early testing days so will use that and use the one they give you on the 17th. Good idea with not buying any tests, temptation removed then!

Did anyone feel crampy 1dp5dt? Seems early to feel anything but I guess implantation can happen at this time from what I've read online.

@notyetamumbuttrying I did! But I didn't think much of it I just thought I was being crazy hahaha. I have had a few cramps here and there everyday but I haven't tested yet so not sure they mean anything x

@notyetamumbuttrying yes to crampy!

@StrongEagle congrats to being PUPO :)

Thanks guys @Alexm06 @RazzleDazz1e good to know I'm not going crazy then! 🤪Here's hoping it means something!! 🤞🏾

When are you ladies testing? I was going to wait until 9dp5dt but am now thing I might test on 8dp5dt!!

@Tarsette I'm going to try and hold out till Thursday which will be 9dp5dt. My last cycle I tested 8dp5dt in the evening and got a faint positive. When is your test day?
