This is a continuation from IVF at Guy's & St. Thomas' & general process/timeline discussion

Happy birthday @Vparisi 🎉

@Welshpea I meant to message yesterday hope all went well!

We had an absolutely chaotic day after transfer, full of stress, rushing around, did 12,000 steps and didn’t sit down till 9pm so I sort of feel like that’s ruined our chances which is just making me so annoyed but rest from here on out and everything crossed 🤞🏻 I genuinely feel like I moved about so much the embryo fell out! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Praying for some sort of symptoms to put my mind at rest that it’s still there and has had a chance to chill!

@Vparisi I feel that's definitely a sign! Hope you're having a lovely time & your weathers been nice x

@GJW2018 try not to worry, as hard as it is!! Got everything crossed for you & hope you've got your feet up today! When's test day scheduled for?

Thanks @Etonmess20 I’m not moving for the foreseeable! Official test day is Tuesday the 3rd but can see myself doing one maybe the Monday definitely not before that. So excited for you guys to get started! ✨

@GJW2018 I don't blame you, you deserve a rest by the sounds of things! Bet it's so weird it's all over & you now just need to wait (again!)
Realistically it isn't that long but I'm sure it'll feel a lifetime, hopefully it'll fly for you!
I'm so excited to get started, I feel like the realisation is finally dawning though & I'm getting a bit 😬. I don't actually feel worried about anything specific I don't think but maybe just feel I'm unprepared somehow?! 😂 almost like I've forgotten something, that feeling!

@Vparisi defo a good sign babe! Hope you're enjoying weekend away! Xx
@GJW2018 it'll defo still be there. Someone said their dr described it as a grain of sand in between a peanut butter sandwich! Congrats on being PUPO 🥳
@Etonmess20 I know the feeling you mean, it's because it's so alien but once you get started you'll be fine! ♥️

@GJW2018 so happy that all went well! Wi be sending positive thoughts for a double-line test! 😊

@becarefuloutthere I do hope so, just keen to get going, weird to think by September it'll be all over!
How's things with you? Are you feeling well?

@GJW2018 Hey transfer twin! My test date is 4th! All went well but omg a full bladder and a smear test experience is not the one- what an experience! - they had a 5AA so that's what they put in - i am beyond excited ! They've frozen 3 as well so i'm relieved we have some left from this round too!

@Vparisi hope you had the best time in Bath and a good birthday!

@Etonmess20 I felt the same but when you get started it all makes sense and you soon get into the swing of it all.

@Welshpea glad to hear it all went well, hope the time goes quick until test day for you 🙏🏼

@Etonmess20 it'll come and go in flash too! We'll be here throughout, I'm not going anywhere 😚 I'm ok thanks, not feeling well but nausea isn't all day long now which is a relief!
@Welshpea it's a killer isn't it! I needed no2 too 🙈. Same stats as me, 5aa and 3 frozen! Best of luck for testing 🤞🏾

Woohoo @Welshpea mine was 5AA too. I’ve convinced myself it hasn’t worked 2 days in 🙄 self preservation technique I think! Gonna be a loonnggg week! Need to get out of my neggy Peggy mindset! I blame the hormones!
Thank you @becarefuloutthere! When did you start getting symptoms? Xx

@becarefuloutthere glad your nausea is settling a bit, is your next scan 12 weeks? That can't be that far away now!

@GJW2018 oh bless you, you're just trying to protect yourself with the negative thoughts I bet, not wanting to get your hopes up & be disappointed. It is going to be a longgggg week for you but all you can do is try keeping yourself busy. This must be the worst part of it all!
Have you got any symptoms yet?

I know @Etonmess20 it’s such a mind fuck! Zilch symptoms so far which is fuelling my theory! Just a bit of cramping or something would put my mind at rest. Still we continue with the week of distractions! Xx

@HereToLearnAndShare I meant to ask if you'd managed to get your meds sorted?

@GJW2018 the very next day for me, was cramping ever so slightly and had a google of the process and it must've been the embryo bedding in. Everyone is different tho!
@Etonmess20 yeah 12 week one on the 11th august. I'm 10 weeks tomorrow, gonna be a slow two weeks I reckon!

@becarefuloutthere that's gone SO quick it's ridiculous, can remember when you got your BFP!!!

@GJW2018 all fingers crossed for you and congrats on being PUPO!

A big hug to all you ladies, I am keeping an eye on the forum, however not as responsive.

I have an appointment on 11/08 to discuss the BFN, and will be on waiting list for FET. Does anyone know how the FET timeline works?

@becarefuloutthere omg you are giving me so much hope i had cramping the afternoon of and the next day. And also a bit of a headache today

@GJW2018 distractions exactly
back to work today and i was expecting to be super busy but the team have been super organised and i only need to read emails - now longing out the wait for a conference call at 4 that will take up 30 mins of my day 🤣
I'm going to have to spend my days deciding on wall colours and flooring choices as our building work is still ongoing!!

i've already googled how early can you get a positive test from a transfer - gonna get my husband to hide the tests i think 🤣🤣

@Welshpea fingers crossed lovely and get busy as you can :)

Thank you! @GJW2018 !! I am very sure that didn't ruin your chances! Those little things are pretty strong. Will have my fingers crossed for 3rd Aug! Hope this week goes quickly...

And thank you @Welshpea! Congrats on the 3 frozen, great outcome. Not looking forward to the full bladder experience ha. Hope you have a great week and the 4th comes soon!

Thanks @etonmess20! I feel exactly the same... we have waited so long for this and it will go soo quickly.. seeing the meds every day in the fridge I just want it to hurry up and get here.

Thank you @becarefuloutthere can't believe you're nearly 12 weeks already! Time goes quickly. Glad your nausea is improving xx

@Vparisi had my email about my meds this evening too & they'll be coming Wednesday 😬 this is getting soooo real now!!
Hope you had a lovely relaxing weekend & a nice birthday x

@Etonmess20 I know! I think it's because they date you at 4 weeks when you test rather than 2 weeks cos of the last months period thing, so it seems like it goes quicker. It's still gone relatively quick tho! I've been out all afternoon and all evening today at my works summer social and I'm so proud of myself for staying out, just hope I don't suffer tomorrow now, my pelvis is already aching tho 😩 omg Wednesday, yay 😃
@Welshpea yay! Love to give hope, sounds good hun, really hope it's the same outcome as me. Think I had a headache too, but sometimes it's down to the progesterone, honestly it's such a head fuck! But hope is good 👍🏾 hiding the tests is a good idea, you don't wanna test too early and then be unsure if it's the trigger etc or get squinters!
@Vparisi flies sometimes doesn't it! Thank you, really hope I'm over the worse of it now. Hope you're well?!

@Etonmess20 I received the medicine emails yestarday too. Missed their call though and I couldn't get through when I tried to call back, so not sure about the daye yet 🤷‍♀️

@becarefuloutthere is your 12 week scan on the 11.08?

@morganablue my first scan is booked for 11.08, what time is your appointment?

@Welshpea @GJW2018 so excited about your tests next week!

@HereToLearnAndShare yeah it is! We have a lot going on the same day again. It won't be at guys tho as I'm now discharged from there. I've registered at queen Elizabeth now.
Hopefully you hear from them today with the date! 🤞🏾

@becarefuloutthere ah my mistake, I thought you stay with them till the 12th week, but it was till the 8 week scan, wasnt.
Just heard back from them. Will receive the medicine on Monday ☺️
