IVF/FET October/November 21 part 2

[paintfairy]

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

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and I hope you're able to get some reassurance today bear in mind you're still very early on for symptoms at 17dp5dt, I only had sore boobs and tiny waves of nausea at that point and everyone is so different.. with any luck it will be something like an SCH xxx

Wow you ladies are incredible, there must have been some strong baby dust floating about today.... 2 yolk sacks have been found. I'm still very worried as they are saying they are showing as 4 weeks. Surely this isn't right? Both embryos were day 6s, transferred on 29th. Does that jot mean technically I would count from 9th November as being pregnant? I'm so confused, but scan lady seemed fairly confident. I had bloods taken, and my comparison blood is due Saturday. They have also booked me another scan for Xmas eve. Still bleeding, and I would say I'm at period flow stage now, it just doesn't seem to be stopping, again she said that she couldn't find a reason for bleeding either :-/

@ExhaustedPigeon1988. Oh wow .thats incredible. So happy for you . I bet your buzzing . How far do you think you would be ? You can relax bit then now.

@Justawannabemam I'm not so upset now, just worried. They make us 4 weeks, but thought we were 5.5, but they said that's often the case with IVF pregnancies x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 So pleased to hear your scan went fine & that two sacks were seen. It’s hard not to worry considering how hard the process is but sending positive vibes.

Hopefully more good news & baby dust to come on this group

Isn't it awful have we all worry and some people carry on before not even knowing hahaha to be lucky .x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 yes you would be counted from 9th November, but because you're so early a millimeter here or there measured by a sonographer can make a huge amount of difference to estimated dates, I wouldn't worry about it as they saw the sacs and you're still getting strong positives xxx

Thanks again ladies, just had the results from bloods, which was 3400, just gotta wait til Saturday to get next bloods done, although have been told I won't get results til Monday, so just a waiting game again x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 glad to hear the good news! Sending good thoughts for the next round of tests.

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 yes, you count from EC. But that early it's harder to tell really and as said above- the tiniest bit out with the measurement and it'll put it quite a lot out. My scan lady said that and my scan was at 8 weeks, but it still makes a big difference then.
Fingers crossed for good news over the next few days. 🤞🤞

@Ladybug06 well I caved and test yesterday with a strip test which was a very faint line. I thought it could have even been an evap line. Tested this morning and it was sort of the same so I used a FRER and it came up positive! Now I'm not sure if it maybe a bit light for 8dp5dt. I'll attach a picture. I'm still wary as I know how quick it can turn chemical or a miscarriage so yeah trying to be a bit positive. How you getting on?

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 that's great news if she wasn't worried I would just try to take her word for it. I know it's easier said then done.

@Alexm06 that line looks quite dark to me .x congratulations . 🎊

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 that's great news, I've been thinking about you all day but have only just managed to get on to check! Hopefully things keep progressing as they should and bleeding stops. This group is so amazing for support xx

@Alexm06 congratulations 🎊

Thank you all so much and congratulations @Alexm06 :) I am bleeding really heavy again, it's doing my head in, I just wish I could get past this stage much quicker! I'm still absolutely convinced this is going to end badly, but trying to take each hour at a time x

@Alexm06 congratulations! 🎉

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I’m so pleased. I agree with my first pregnancy the measurements were always off and the sonographer went with the IVF date rather than measurements.

@Alexm06 congrats. I see the line, it’s faint at all. 🎊🎊🎊

I have my scan tomorrow. A little nervous because all my symptoms have disappeared. I’m not even tired. I have tons of energy. Nausea stopped 2 days ago. I should be 7weeks today. My tests started getting lighter then I read that sometimes the HCG gets too high and you need to dilute your urine with water. I did that and they went back to being dark but still nervous.

@Chrischross the nurse was adamant that I was only 4 weeks, I couldn't be bothered to argue. I explained dates etc, but she was still sure, so just nodded and agreed, I was just grateful to be seen tbh x

@Alexm06 Woohoo! Look at those BFP lines! Definitely a positive :-)

I’ve been worried since my kicking a gate episode yesterday as I’m still spotting with some mild cramping on and off, honestly what on earth was I thinking. Can’t help think the worst but hoping for the best.
Going to try & keep occupied as I’m off work now until the new year.

Well OTD has arrived for me and another negative! I wish everyone well for those who have or are still to get the BFPs!! This second round has been a roller coaster but all of you amazing ladies have kept me going and staying positive!! Im sure I will see those that were unsuccessful on another board at some point! I'll say hi 👋

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, my only saving grace will be the wine and cheese 😁

Merry Christmas everyone xxx

Hi everyone, I posted early in TWW then ran away and hid for a week as the wait was killing me. I had lots of signs then zero from Mon this week. Did a FRER at 4am in desperation as my OTD is Mon (17dp3dt) and low and behold, it was a darker line than the control. 2-3 weeks on CB dates test. I can't actually believe it or take it in so happy of course.

Does anyone know if there are threads for IVF pregnancies? I feel like they come with a whole host of other concerns etc.

For anyone crying in the TWW, convinced it's a no, with cramps and spotting, apparently it's not always a bad sign...!

@notsofertilemyrtle congratulations! I will tag you in a thread now.

@Nerdalert I'm so sorry 💐

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I'm glad your scan has gone well ❤ I know you'll still worry until the bleeding stops and you see a heartbeat.

@Nerdalert i am sorry to hear that. Hugs. Its a rough ride. 💐
@notsofertilemyrtle congratulations!

Congratulations @notsofertilemyrtle, wonderful news! Which date was your transfer? As I had a 2 day transfer on 5th and supposed to test on Sunday which will be 14days so would be keen to know your dates since you mentioned 17days

Sorry to hear your outcome @Nerdalert, wishing you all the very best. Eat all the cheese & wine! X

Hi @Ladybug06 ! Thank you!!
I had a 3 day transfer on the 3rd. OTD should have been tomorrow, but because it's Saturday they ask you do it on Mon. The FRER line and the 2-3 weeks on digi makes me think I might have had a BFP earlier if I'd tested, but I resisted somehow.

So I guess all that makes me 17dpo / past egg collection which was the 30th Nov!

Are you holding out for OTD?
