IVF/FET October/November 21 part 2

[paintfairy]

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

@notsofertilemyrtle I am in my two week wait… testing next Sunday!

@Gensola what is your dose? I think the progesterone is the worst but, I have a bad headache this morning and boobs are sore too. I’m also just a bit irrational and tiny things feel irritating.

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 and @CycleGirl20 so glad you found us! So silly they stopped the thread

AF is due to start for me between Monday & Wednesday 😬. I feel a tiny bit crampy too. I'm wondering if the single progesterone I'm taking would be enough to hold off or if we should expect to find out if it's worked or not by AF coming or not. My official test day is 5 days after AF is due and unofficially I was going to test 3 days after.

@Hufflepuff1 that sounds uncomfortable! I'm certainly on a reduced schedule for number 2s and a more frequent one for number ones 😅

@CycleGirl20 I’m on three pessaries a day, so a total of 600mg that way plus another 600mg in injection form and three oestrogen tablets a day. It’s sending me crazy, I’m weepy and exhausted!
AF was due yesterday for me but I’ve not bled before coming off meds in previous failed cycles so it isn’t really something I’m worried about.

@Gensola I feel weirdly shaky. I'm not sure if I'm imagining it though!

To those of you with constipation- maybe take something sooner for it, rather than later. Otherwise it gets very uncomfortable! I was like that too. Then it did settle on its own. However I feel the issue might be re-emerging. Its a nightmare!

Boobs is definitely a progesterone symptom. But mine would normally start to hurt less by AF due time, and they didn't. Which was one of the few signs I had. Mine are agony now. 🙄

@CycleGirl20 symptoms sound good, i truest hope you get a BFP asap! I'm ok, worn out, but ok really. Still on buserelin, now on progynova too, first scan 23rd. I'm excited to get it over, but dreading it at the same time, feels like this has been forever! Transfer 29th if all ok at scan. Start cyclogest Tuesday too, 400mg, same as my fresh cycle, that stuff makes you miserable- something else I'm dreading lol. As I thought it would be a great idea to book loads of social event on the run up to transfer to keep me busy. But know I'm going to me a crying knackered mess lol. Regretting that decision already lol. Had afternoon tea with an old friend yesterday, works Christmas do today (no drinking at unlimited cocktail night-sucks!), next week I have 2 catch up with friends (1 heavily pregnant), and then going out with another friend (newly pregnant) and her 3 year old to see Santa! What am I doing to myself??? X

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 that sounds like a pretty epic week or so! I hope they have some nice alcohol free cocktails for you. It's definitely hard to keep your mind off things either way!

I'm surprised no one's been taking a test every day in this thread. Or at least, no one's said anything if they have. I actually took a test after my trigger because I wanted to see what that looked like on a cheapie. I did get a line so at least now I know my cheapies work. I'd be intrigued to see the progression if I did take tests every day, but at the same time I know I'd be taking 3 cheapies a day and obsessing over it positive or negative.

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I’ve done the same
Thing - dinner with friends tomorrow, a thanksgiving thing on Weds and then hosting people at ours on 26th. This was all planned before my period was 9 days late so OTD was supposed to be 20th, I thought it would be nice to have stuff to look forward to in case it was bad news. Now I’m
Facing a week of socialising while exhausted and unable to drink. I think I’ll cancel the Weds thing but will be harder to get out of the other stuff. 😫

@Gensola @ExhaustedPigeon1988 I was out last night. And yeah I was yawning by about 9pm! I haven't slept since I don't know when. And the not drinking is miserable. 🤣

@paintfairy you are in for a long ride of yawning 🥱 but it will be worth it all in the end :)

@Gensola oh no, it's hard to plan life around IVF isn't it. I really want to book a holiday March time (as this is the best time for work), but think I maybe doing another FET around that time, can just guarantee it will land wrong! Have been asked to a couple of concerts too, but hoping to be pregnant lol, so I just don't know what to do, because if I'm not I want to go, on the other hand I don't want to mess people about, tickets are not cheap either!!!

@CycleGirl20 I'm going to be a complete geek and take my own, I love innocent juice, so taking that as orange juice really upsets my belly too, so playing it safe. I was dreadful last round, started testing from day 4, it was upsetting every morning as it's was a stubborn BFN all the way through, but it did allow me to come to terms with it fairly quickly. Transfer is 29th, OTD is 9th, I'm on holiday 1st-5th, so thinking I will test on 6th, but not sure I will last that long lol x

Congratulations @paintfairy and @strawberrysummer19 - I've got some good news of my own! OTD was yesterday and I thought I had posted but Mumsnet somehow screwed it up... I have had no chill and tested from 4dp5dt and got my very first faint BFP that day... Still can't believe it's real!

@TheSnufflet oh wow. Congratulations! 🥳

@TheSnufflet amazing news congratulations :) x

@TheSnufflet I wonder if it's twins for you ;-) I am so pleased after your nightmare journey it's all been worth while :) so so happy for you.... I hope I am as lucky with my double FET :)

@Jazz234 and @theotherfossilsister how are you both getting on?

@TheSnufflet congratulations!! 🤩

Amazing news @TheSnufflet 🥳 congratulations. Such lovely news after what happened last time x

@TheSnufflet amazing congratulations!

@TheSnufflet eeekkk congratulations!!

@TheSnufflet amazing news how lovely xx great lines xx

I'm starting to git the TWW wall. I was convinced AF had come earlier. I'm waiting for the cramps to start. I'm only 6dp5dt.

@CycleGirl20 why were you convinced? Do you have extra cm? I really hate the tww I'm only day 2 and losing my mind.

I've just got cramps. I didn't really have them for a few days so wondering if it's AF coming

I wouldn't say that's a bad thing, a lot of people have cramps throughout, I read its due to the stomach stretching and the embryo embedding in.
Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hey ladies, have been reading from afar this time, glad I found the thread again though, was waiting for everyone's news! Im on Buserelin and progesterone, transfer is 7 December, little late to the party as AF was late! Typical!
@ExhaustedPigeon1988 i think we are some of the last and similar timelines 😁

So happy for everyone's news! Big hugs for those with not so great news, your time will come! We got this
