IVF/FET October/November 21 part 2

The other thread is full so I'm hoping everyone will find this!

So sorry @Gensola 😥 xx

So sorry to hear that @Gensola 💐

@Gensola I'm so sorry to read this. 💐 I'm glad you have a plan and can move forwards. But I'm gutted for you it didn't work.

@Gensola I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you can manage to take a little time for yourself and you've got your next step lined up so that often helps. I had an enforced 6 months off post surgery and it was equally crap and good that I could let my "infertility" hair down a little.

@Gensola I’m so sorry to hear this, do take care of yourself and wishing you all the best of luck and baby dust for the next one

I'm so sorry @Gensola, and sorry it's so long before you can try again 💐

Thank you for all the comments on Olives. He was such a great cat and so loving and loved. My good lad.

I'm sorry for all the shitty news and glad for all the happy.

I have a feeling we will be going for freeze all with anything we get this time so may we'll be on another thread with some of you. This round has been such a shit show.

Will keep popping back though.

Thinking of you @Gensola. This is so hard. Take the break to get your mindset in the right place, that’s what I did with my break last time. Some you time is definitely needed xx

thanks everyone! I think I shall just wait and retest sunday like I was supposed to.

@cyclegirl20 Some symptoms but not as much as I thought I would have. I had cramps the first few days but wasnt sure if that was still healing from the retrieval and all that. They went away after 3 days. Now I just am tired, bloated some of the time, oh and loss of appetite. But no sore boobs, no wild emotional swings like I had during my failed IUI rounds.

@Tinyhappypeople that sounds like you have a lot going on and totally understandable to get overwhelmed by it. I'm really sorry to hear you have so much on top of stressful fertility stuff. Hopefully the next few days go smoothly and then you can have a nice time off.

@paintfairy and @ExhaustedPigeon1988 is this acupuncture? Have you found it helpful? Is it safe in the first trimester? I was thinking of doing it but am nervous that I could accidentally make things worse. probably not a rational fear but with everything we go through...

@AMN3000 yes. I'm booked to go again next week. Mine does a lot of ladies that are having fertility treatment and in early pregnancy.

@AMN3000 my acupuncture lady highly recommends it during first trimester to help prevent miscarriage, so if I make it that far will defo be going weekly :) x

Here's my latest test. Does this look promising? My last chemical happened at 17dp5dt and I'm freaking out it will happen again xx

@Infertilitywarrior that looks great and a dye stealer too! I feel your pain re chemical, could you do a clearblue digital with the weeks indicator to see if it corresponds with where you should be?

@Hufflepuff1 I did one yesterday and it said 2-3 weeks that's where it should be isn't it? I never saw past 1-2 weeks last time and last time I had never been pregnant before so I was so naive and didn't realise that a lighter line after having dark lines meant there was a problem xx

That's brilliant and definitely where u should be. When you get to 21 days do another and it should say 3+ and unfortunately that's the longest they take it up to! It's a great sign it's gone up xx

@Hufflepuff1 thank you ❤

How are you feeling @Hufflepuff1? I can’t believe I have held out this long not testing… 2 days to go 🤞🏼💗

@makeithappen2022 I'm so nervous!! Apart from sore and heavy boobs I got nothing now! I think I will test on day 10 which is Monday for me. My clinic have said to test 13d5dt which is ridiculously long. I'm 7dp5dt today so I think if I can wait until 10 it will be accurate. Time has gone so slow, transfer seems like years ago! How are you doing? Well done for waiting it out! 💜

I am so nervous too. I am 10dp5dt and my otd is 12dp5dt… I’m going to wait it out as I’m so close now and holding onto the hope a little longer is helping… I think haha.
I didn’t have many signs really but my boobs hurt more now and my nipples are particularly sore and sensitive. I’ve had a few twinges too the past couple of days and am definitely tired earlier. So hard as could all be the meds but will hold onto the hope it’s pregnancy for now.
AF was due two days ago but has held off, I know could also be the meds.
It’s felt like ages hasn’t it! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Are you working Monday?

@CycleGirl20 what is next for you? Will you have an early scan with the clinic?
Since finding out has time returned to normal or does it still feel drawn out until the next step? The 2ww must be the longest 2 weeks ever haha!

@Infertilitywarrior I meant to tag you in the above also

@makeithappen2022 I've just done my bloods test at the clinic. Results later. I'm 11dp5dt. Did a digital and it said 1-2weeks so now I'm worrying as I should be just over 2 weeks since conception. My cheapie is now more purple than pink which is good. I'm nervously waiting to see how my bloods are. @Infertilitywarrior your test is so dark! I've not tested since 9dp5dt on a frer but that's a lot darker

@CycleGirl20 good luck and fingers crossed 🤞 my clinic doesn't do blood work so I might get some done privately for reassurance if I test positive.

@makeithappen2022 yes I am working but I work from home so if its negative I will be going back to bed with my laptop. It sounds very promising 🤞 I'm always tired on a normal day so I can't tell any difference at the moment. I've noticed my heart rate has increased slightly on my fitbit though, read somewhere that's a sign 🤞🤞💜

I am sure all is fine @CycleGirl20 it is close isn’t it in terms of dates so I really wouldn’t worry. When do you get your blood results?

@Hufflepuff1 oooh that’s good. I will check mine haha. Although not totally sure what it was before so might be pointless. My clinic doesn’t do bloods normally either but my last one did. Are you with a TFP clinic? Seems we have had everything quite similar in terms of meds etc. They do a 6 week and an 8 week scan instead I believe.

@makeithappen2022 if u have the fitbit app gives you a history of how its been daily.
What's a tfp clinic? My clinic only do a 8 week scan but are closed over Xmas which is when it should be so I wonder what they suggest if all goes well for me.
