Hi Smile
I started my stims on Wednesday as the beginning of my long protocol for my FET.

I am looking at end of October for my transfer 🤞🏻

I have PCOS and had ISCI for our treatment.
We have 4 blastocysts frozen!

Looking for any cycle buddies that are transferring around the same time 🙏

Thanks @LemonyT, you have put my mind at ease! I also got a call from the nurse about something unrelated and I asked about the progesterone - she said it's fine. I'm only doing one injection per day and no pessaries but the intramuscular shots seem to be quite powerful.

Hi all just posting a bit of a stress rant.. I'm now 6dp5dt (5AB) and I don't have any symptoms atall.. it's really worrying me and the fact we are not testing until the given date on Monday is stressing me out with the not knowing. Something within me is telling me it hasn't worked but I'm really trying to hold out hope that it has- it's so, so difficult.

@J2020m please don’t symptom spot with my previous pregnancy I had a day 5 embryo transferred and I didn’t get no symptoms till I was like 6 weeks pregnant. I was asking google stuff in 2ww please don’t do that it’ll drive you crazy.

@Azahar8 I’m not testing till the test day which is next week I forgot what date as it’s in paperwork I rather not know. I’ve bought a cheap test to check but my hearts saying no.

Azahar8 · 03/11/2021 12:21

@J2020m Any symptoms that you may get at this point would be due to the progesterone and are not an indication of pregnancy, so please don't let this stress you Flowers

Azahar8 · 03/11/2021 12:25

@J2020m Just to add, I have been having cramping and nausea since I started my progesterone shots and I haven't had my transfer yet. So these symptoms don't mean anything.

LemonyT · 03/11/2021 16:35

@J2020m I got my BFP a while ago and I’ve still not had any nausea/ sore boob etc. And most of those would be due to the progesterone that early on anyway.

LemonyT · 03/11/2021 16:36

The only thing that tells me I’m pregnant are those two pink lines

J2020m · 03/11/2021 16:51

I've had brown like mucousy discharge and which I don't think is a good sign at this stage 😫

I’m sorry @J2020m. I’ve been in this situation before. Can your clinic do a blood test to determine what your levels are like?

J2020m · 04/11/2021 05:49

@LemonyT I am only 7dp5dt so I don't think they would until Ive tested?

Sweet211 · 04/11/2021 06:50

I’ve tested today I’m 6dp6dt and it’s a BFN not even the faintest line

J2020m · 04/11/2021 07:33

So sorry @Sweet211 💔

I don’t know if it’s early to test as official test day is next Thursday. I Know with fresh cycle you get early BFP

Holskey · 04/11/2021 08:27

Sorry @Sweet211. People have had bfps later than that, but I know at this stage you have to prepare for the worst Flowers

Azahar8 · 04/11/2021 18:57

@Sweet211 I have my fingers crossed for you!

@J2020m Hope you are all right, are you testing on Monday?

I had my transfer today and it all feels very abstract.

Sweet211 · 05/11/2021 09:13

Thanks for the responses I’m scared to even test again wish I didn’t test early

Holskey · 05/11/2021 09:30

@Sweet211 I don't want to give you false hope, but on my first successful FET, I didn't get a bfp until 8dp5dt at night, and it was a squinter. It does seem from reading threads that people usually get them earlier than that (and I got mine at 6dp5dt this time), but you're not out yet. Keeping my fingers crossed you've also got a late implanter 🤞

J2020m · 05/11/2021 16:29

Hi @Azahar8 yes I'm okay.. I phoned my clinic and they said that as long as it isn't a full flow, anything can be normal at this stage so really trying to still hold out hope for my test day Monday. Nothing has really changed- still traces of pink etc but it's not fresh red blood so I'm trying to be optimistic!

OP posts:
Azahar8 · 05/11/2021 16:49

@J2020m Yes, there is certainly hope. The information leaflet I was given at my transfer yesterday also says that some bleeding/spotting can be normal, so fingers crossed.

IVFhadenough · 06/11/2021 08:53

Hi all, sorry I’ve been a bit quiet. My head has been in a bit of a pickle around testing!

I think I’m most likely out! I have been getting the faintest lines everyday, with every test, with every brand I own. So I am so confused. I don’t understand what’s happening. Today is 12DPT. I know I should be getting a good line by now. I am just so confused about it. I am going to email the clinic tomorrow ready for them to pick up tomorrow and see what their advice is.

IVFhadenough · 06/11/2021 08:55

@J2020m how are you getting on?

IVFhadenough · 06/11/2021 08:56

@Sweet211 fingers crossed for you when you test again!

Holskey · 06/11/2021 09:14

@IVFhadenough how many days ago did you get your first faint line?

@J2020m keeping my fingers crossed for you. My clinic also give out a sheet which says some bleeding is entirely normal.

@Azahar8 How's the 2ww going?

IVFhadenough · 06/11/2021 09:18

@Holskey a few days ago they were more obvious I think. I’ve kind of lost track. They are real squinters, most online places say they’re negative but when I send them to friends on facebook they can see them. Not sure if places this (and others) decrease image quality.

This was two test images that I tweaked to highlight a line on them for posting purposes. I got these both last night. I am just unsure if I’m really unlucky and get continual indents or whether they’re pink. My eyes are so tired so I can’t trust my own judgement.

I am not excited by them either way, just very frustrated.

As I suspected, the image quality has been butchered 🙈
