IVF/FET October/November 21 part 2

[paintfairy]

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

@Hufflepuff1 don't lose hope, could be anything (are you using pessaries? they can cause bleeds)

@Tinyhappypeople sounds really promising! I am so tempted to test but really need to hold out til Friday at least I think, I can't bear the sight of another negative test so putting it off as long as possible!

@Hufflepuff1 how many days past transfer are you? Could it be implantation bleeding?

I'm not using pessaries :( only lubion injections via my stomach and progynova.
I'm 4dp5dt, it's a frozen transfer so I guess I would be 9 days past egg collection if this was a fresh transfer.
I'm really not sure re implantation bleeding, I know each pregnancy is different but it's not normal for my body as I've never had it before?
I don't know what to do, I'm tempted to test but already had three wees this morning.

@theotherfossilsister what a beautiful bubba :) furbabies are everything, especially in hard times! I think the freeze all is a good idea, and it's not really delaying anything, as the embryos don't age, you need to think of yourself in times like this, sending loads of love x

@Hufflepuff1 how are you? Did it progress anymore? Been thinking of you x

Thank you @makeithappen2022 it's calmed down now, I dread going to the toilet now. I've been googling all evening and trying to decide when to test etc. Decided to just wait and see if I get any more bleeding because I'm not sure I could take a bfn.

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 how was your scan today?

@Nerdalert ok thank you for asking :) I was told ovaries are quiet and lining is perfect.... was very happy, until I was told my appointment was being booked at 2.30, but It could change due to me being in after a day of egg collections. I kinda get it, but I need to plan acupuncture before and after, and obviously the whole full bladder thing is an issue if they change the appointment! How can I plan anything? Left feeling annoyed and frustrated :-/ how are you feeling today? X

Yay!! Thats great news! At least everything is as perfect as it should be! Frustrating for the appointment not to be set in stone though, I get that. I'm okay, I booked Thursday, Friday and Monday off work then I go into isolation from Tuesday! Work and the hormones this time are not mixing well this time! I just need to be home

@Hufflepuff1 so glad it has! Fingers crossed for you. I keep feeling like mine is about to start and keep checking. It’s awful isn’t it. I’m going to just wait until my otd as I’m the same as you, I can’t stand to see a bfn so will hold onto the hope as long as possible with some optimism is I can keep that feeling. I’m so conflicted x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 glad it went well for you, it’s annoying they can’t give you a concrete time, especially with the full bladder situation!
I tried acupuncture for one of my FETs earlier this year but I found it a bit odd - the room was really cold so I was shivering the whole time. I know lots of women who swear it is what made them pregnant though!

@Nerdalert please forgive me if you have told me already, is this not your first round? I was the same on my fresh cycle, I was so anxious all the time, I bailed out of work a few days earlier than isolating too. Covid just doesn't help the situation, but nor do the crazy hormones. I relaxed a lot being away from work.

@Gensola thank you, been so stressed about it, glad I'm one step closer. I'm not sure on acupuncture, but it makes me take time out of the day to relax and that is worth any money lol, I have an ivf hypnosis cd I play during it too, again not a massive believer, just finds it relaxes me which can't be a bad thing :)

@ExhaustedPigeon1988, this is my first FET, my first fresh was earlier in the summer! I was okay on that cycle. This one is pretty crappy! I've never tried acupuncture for IVF, I've heard good things too @gensola.

I'm definitely going for the maccies fries this time round though 😁

@Nerdalert yep me too, I drive past 2 macs on the way home... I'm doing double, right? Lol x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 of course, two embabies, two LARGE fries 😉

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 @Gensola I've been having acupuncture also. I thought it was probably a waste of time but now I'm not so sure! 🤣

@paintfairy that gives me some hope :) how many did you have? X

@Nerdalert 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

9dp5dt BFN for me :( I did have a feeling it wasn't going to be! I'll be ringing my clinic today to let them know, my clinic doesn't offer a blood test confirmation.

Good luck to everyone in the next step of your journey ! Lots of baby dust ! I'll probably pop back once I know what's happening, I have 2 frozen so fingers crossed I'll be doing FET in the new year !

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I started it a couple of cycles before and was going twice a month. When we did the ivf it felt quite often but I was just going when she told me to. I did before EC and after. And also the night before transfer and a few days after. I then went again a week later. I haven't been since as I need to check with her when to book but she did say many people carry on through the first trimester, but it won't be every week or anything.
@IVFGotThis05 I'm so sorry. Will the clinic accept the result that early? Mine wouldn't until my otd at 13dp5dt. Stranger things have happened, and not everyone gets a positive that early.

@IVFGotThis05 sorry to hear this lovely. It’s so disappointing but like your say you have another 2 for transfer waiting in the wings. Fingers crossed for your Frosties becoming you BFP. Let us know what the clinic says 😘

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 @Nerdalert the large fries are a must! We went straight to the drive through on the way home. And then you need pineapple in the fridge ready to munch on too 🤞🏼

@IVFGotThis05 so sorry 💐 Fingers crossed your next transfer is the special one

@paintfairy this is when they told me to test :( I stop my progesterone today too so no doubt af will be round the corner!

@IVFGotThis05 I'm really sorry to hear. It sucks. What are your next steps?

I'm pretty sure it's not worked for me either. I have cramps and my breasts are only minimally sore. I don't feel "pregnant". AF would usually have arrived by now and hasn't but I am on progesterone, albeit a low dose. I'm thinking about the frosty transfer in January already! OTD not until the weekend for me.
