Hi ladies !! So as the title suggests I'm quite far along into the IVF process, my OTD date is tomorrow and I'm nervous as hell. 😬I've got the FRER out ready, checked the exp date etc. Thought I would have already tested by now but tbh I've been happy sitting in my little pregnancy bubble! 🤗 I was also super nervous about the trigger shot, tested before transfer and the tests were still coming back positive so I didn't want to risk a false positive, also read so many posts online where people get a negative then a positive two days later !! The one thing I've noticed about this cycle is the progesterone pessaries (Cyclogest) - I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced such strong side effects but here's a list of mine just for info I know everyone is different and these can all be explained by progesterone too 😣- will be obviously devastated to see a negative tomorrow but also quite concerned just how much the medication had affected me!! More than before egg collection!! 🙄
Headache - bad after ET for a few days now just come and go but not severe
Nausea generally late on a morning this is a new symptom and usually subsides after I eat - no vomiting
No bleeding or Spotting whatsoever (I'm 12dp5dt)
Cramps - day after embryo transfer very bad cramps like AF had to lie down for half an hour since then been coming and going mainly on a morning as am constipated too
Breasts VERY painful and nipples super sensitive has been since transfer
Thirsty - waking up with dry mouth and peeing two or three times during the night and in the morning
Libido is up (which is awesome as can't do a jot about that one)
Piles and a bit of thrush (sorry tmi) from straining bit thrush seems to have gone now
Hot flushes on a morning
Swollen stomach
Anyone coming up to their test date too? 🙏🏼🌈❤️
