If everyone is going to test at 8dpt then I am down!!! 😂 it's only been a day and I am cracking with impatience

Tarsette · 08/06/2021 11:51

Haha I think I will try and lady out until 9dp5dt. By then, there should be no more false negatives! That will be Sunday for me (13th) and then my OTD is the 15th. Feels like aaaaages away!

Tarsette · 08/06/2021 11:51

Hold out not lady out!

notyetamumbuttrying · 08/06/2021 12:01

9dp5dt for me too so that's next Tuesday, eek!! Otd is Thursday. I really don't want to be squinting at lines and being told it's just too early etc 😬

Hi - am new to this - I had embryo transfer last Wednesday and started progesterone the Friday before.
I am day 6 post embryo transfer today and bloated to high heaven!!! Sitting down is very uncomfortable - just wondered if anyone else has had the same issue?

Louweeze · 08/06/2021 15:05

Hi @Nervouslywaiting and welcome ☺ I too am currently 6dp5dt and I stopped feeling bloated about 3 days ago! I feel like this isn't going to be successful for me because my boobs also stopped feeling sore around the same time and when I wiped this morning there was a brown discharge!!! Feeling absolutely gutted but clutching at straws and hoping it's implantation bleeding! I've had a few cramps and twinges as well. Have you got any other symptoms? I've got a massive headache but I honestly think its just from the stress of it all!

Louweeze · 08/06/2021 15:06

@C1aire85 any update? Did it stop? I'm getting brown discharge now as well.. only once this morning and nothing since

strawberrysummer19 · 08/06/2021 15:12

@Louweeze I'm similar to you that I have no bloat and my boobs are no longer sore
They were for about 5 days after taking progesterone but since ET nothing.
Just keep thinking some people don't have any symptoms! OTD is 11th so think I'll wait until then if I haven't started AF x

Nervouslywaiting · 08/06/2021 15:21

@Louweeze - thank you 😌 don't give up hope - am keeping my fingers crossed for you 😊
My boobs have been sore for a while now - since I started stimming - still are too

C1aire85 · 08/06/2021 16:14

@Nervouslywaiting welcome :) I think progesterone can make u a bit bloated - it did with me but has worn off gradually.
@Louweeze fingers crossed it's nothing to worry about for you. It is sooo common to have a bit of blood/discharge in pregnancy but naturally we go into panic mode.
I'm pretty confident I'm out ... brown blood is now redder, still not a flow and just when I wipe but it's the same as the day before Aunt Flo visits and my boobs aren't sore anymore. Just a bit in limbo at the mo X

Louweeze · 08/06/2021 17:20

@C1aire85 my OTD is the 12th and I'm just going to wait until then (if AF doesn't get me first!) After initially thinking I would test early now I'm just so scared to see that blank white space!! That's exactly how I feel in limbo!

@Nervouslywaiting my boobs were sore initially but then stopped a few days ago and that change is making me think it hasn't worked because my boobs always stop hurting just before my period starts normally. That yours are still sore is defo a good sign!

Nervouslywaiting · 08/06/2021 17:49

@C1aire85 my OTD is the 15th - kind of can't wait for it to come but then completely agree with you in not wanting to see the blank white space!

Nervouslywaiting · 08/06/2021 17:50

@Louweeze - keeping my finger and toes crossed that the end result is a positive one!

strawberrysummer19 · 08/06/2021 17:58

@C1aire85 sorry to hear this, keeping my fingers crossed
When is OTD?

Doe anyone else find the pessaries are more messier now later on ? Sorry for tmi they used to stay in place a bit more ! But last couple of days I've really noticed they come out

Also woke up with lots of watery CM and just now felt quite wet so wondering if that's making the pessaries come out?!

Keep thinking I've started AF

X

notyetamumbuttrying · 08/06/2021 20:08

@strawberrysummer19 I've found that with the pessaries as well! Odd huh!

Louweeze · 09/06/2021 18:21

How's everyone feeling today? My brown spotting has stopped now (yay). I'm back to feeling nothing... I can't decide whether that's a good or a bad thing 🤔😂

Nervouslywaiting · 09/06/2021 18:59

@Louweeze - hiya - that's good that the spotting has stopped ☺️
I am still bloated but the pain has subsided - I feel like I'm carrying a baby elephant and I haven't even tested yet!! That's how bad my
Bloating is - making me very conscious of what to wear - got job it's hot and can wear flowing dresses!!

strawberrysummer19 · 09/06/2021 19:06

@Louweeze I've had another day of lots of runny CM - so much I thought I came on earlier ! 3 rd time that's happened now

Last hour I've started getting period type pains 🥴🥴🥴
Other than that not one symptom in sight! Nothing, no bloat or sore boobs and DP really wants to wait til sat to test ! And I want to test Friday just to save at least one day of knowing as I've a feeling I'm out x

strawberrysummer19 · 09/06/2021 19:08

@C1aire85
How are you doing? Any update ? X

Girlwholifts · 09/06/2021 19:16

Hi guys.
Just catching up on all the news. Thinking of all you ladies who are getting ready for OTD 🙌🏻
I had my scan today for follicle count, which I have 7 each side? Not sure if that’s much to go on if I’m honest. I started taking Norethisterone Monday so now counting down the days.
My plan is Pergoveris, Certrotide and Ovitrelle. Has anyone had a similar schedule?

C1aire85 · 09/06/2021 20:35

I'm out - Aunt Flo is now in full swing 😩 Trying to stay positive that we still have some in the freezer and have options so Atleast that's something.
Still so excited for you guys currently Pupo - it's so close to testing day - you are " all very much still in the running and I'm crossing everything for you 🤞🏼
@Girlwholifts 7 follicles on each is a good number - glad everything is progressing g nicely for you :) I had certrotide and ovitrelle - didn't really suffer any side effects and didn't find them too painful so hopefully you'll be the same X

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/06/2021 21:16

@C1aire85 sorry to hear honey but great mindset looking towards the Frosties! Do you know how long you have to wait before the next go?

I'm cramping a lot, no spotting or anything so hoping it stays that way and this is implantation!

@Girlwholifts 7 on each is fantastic! I had 7 and 5

RazzleDazz1e · 09/06/2021 21:53

Hi ladies- only had cramping first 2 days but now feeling absolutely nothing! Boobs not sore now and no discharge. Hmmm.

Just trying not to think about it all. No Frosties either to fall back on! :/

Nervouslywaiting · 09/06/2021 21:59

@C1aire85 sorry to hear Auntie Flo came 😕 thinking of you❣️
Fingers crossed for the Frosties!

C1aire85 · 09/06/2021 23:16

Aww thanks ladies :)
I think I have to wait for a separate fresh cycle and can then have FET so maybe as early as end of July or August. Just need to find the money tree or plan a bank robbery 😂

@RazzleDazz1e not everyone gets symptoms so stay positive - your little embaby could be nestling away nicely right now 🤞🏼
