@xreadytoglow congrats on being pupo! All sounds really good, lots of baby dust to you xxx

@lucymills1234 they were just like AF cramps. For me that's all over my lower stomach and lower back and a weird heavy feeling in my legs. 🤞it's a good sign for you.

@lucymills1234 thank you, I just feel a bit helpless at the moment, haven’t been doing anything to help my cause as the back issue is quite limiting and don’t feel I’m doing much in terms of my diet either

To top it off our dog now has a tummy bug so he hasn’t been well today. This is such a rubbish week. Hope things get better soon

@foodiefil @lucymills1234 @NaomiNatNat thank you!! My OTD is the 4th but we will start testing on the 1st.. I feel like that's a good enough time to get a positive.

@Justawannabemam sorry forgot to say thank you to you also 🤍

It's a week tomorrow since my transfer I really feel like testing tomorrow I found one in my handbag yesterday .I'm just not sure if it's too early

@Justawannabemam it's a tricky one isn't it... some have had a positive by then. If you really want to, go for it. But if emby implanted late it might still be stark white so you don't want to let a negative result affect you too much. Best of luck to you x

Hopefully I'll sleep in for work and not have time. X haha

@xreadytoglow was it a 5 day embryo? I’m a day ahead of you and my OTD is the 28/2 with a 5 day emby so I’d say the 1st is more than reasonable!

@foodiefil yes it was!! So your clinic tells you 9 days? Crazy how they all differ isn't it 🙈! I will be 9dp5dt on the 1st so that's good. My clinic advises 12 which I think is just trying to be on the safe side. Will you test on the 28th? How are you feeling?

@Justawannabemam Good luck for tomorrow morning if you decide to do it 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@foodiefil We have the same OTD 5dt as well but my wait is 12 days xx

Can I just say you guys are so brave regarding all the testing, I can barely bring myself to test on OTD. I don’t think I will be able to look myself this time. Might have to get my OHto do it. That is if we even make it to the day as last time AF came day 9 post transfer

@Bluehawaii29 I am the same. My blood test is on Tuesday. I am 12dp5dt and cannot bring myself to test it. Pretty sure hCG booster is already out since it was just 1500 IU and 5 days passed since the last shot.
The worst thing is, even if it is a BFN, I still need to get the blood test done. Knowing the BFN while nurses are drawing my blood is the worse feeling. They always ask me how I feel or if I did a home test. Last 3 times when I was saying that I did it and it was negative, my eyes teared up. The pity in their faces is killing me. This time I decided not to test until the blood test so I won't start crying in front of strangers 🙄 Ignorance is a bliss

@Cayandsimit yeah I know how you feel, it’s really hard for me to call them to tell them it hasn’t worked as I’m with NHS and they don’t do blood tests so it’s all up to me for the home testing. I don’t think there is any east way for me to find out the result though even if they were to do the blood test and I didn’t any tests at home I can’t imagine how scary it must be to wait for their call. Just thinking about it as I write this is making me shudder. Just hope it’s quick and as painless as possible this time 🙏🏽 x really hope your test is what you want this time xx

@foodiefil my OTD is the 28th too. I genuinely need to stop googling stuff now. I keep having sharp pains just below my belly button and have convinced myself that's something. There isn't even anything baby related anywhere near there!!

I decided not too.

I still got to go for bloods either way so I will try and wait until Saturday .

@Justawannabemam that’s good , hope you take it easy this week xx
I’ve got second to last day at work and scan this morning

@Bluehawaii29 I’m the same! The thought of seeing another stark white test is terrifying so I don’t think I’ll be testing early!
I also started spotting at 9/10 days post transfer with my last fresh round so when I had to test a few days later, it was just to confirm what I already knew!

Yeah sadly this was me too @crazycatlady1981 hope we get the chance to at least test on OTD this time x

@Mochii wow this is an amazing news story. Congratulations! I am also surprised your clinic told you to stop the meds at 8DP5DT, that is really poor practice.

@crazycatlady1981 yayyy PUPO! How do you feel? When is your OTD?

@lucymills1234 don't give up hope. It's only over until it's over. If it's any consolation, with my first FET, I had brown blood everyday, covering a pantyliner, until 13 weeks. It was the pessaries irritating my cervix. At 8 weeks it was red blood and cramps. They told me it was a mini-period, that happens occasionally when your pregnant, your body hasn't entirely switched off your menstrual cycle yet. By the way my little girl is 14 months old!

Also does anyone know by AF comes before stopping the drugs if you get a BFN? I thought all the drugs stop you from bleeding, particularly the progesterone. I tried to ask the nurse and she just said oh some people just respond differently. My doctor follow-up isn't for another 2 weeks

@IE00 I used one Cyclogest (400mg) + one progesterone injections per day. Progesterone never delayed my period in the last 3 failed ETs.

@IE00 I never used oestrogen at the same time though... If you are using both at the same time, they might together delay AF.

Lot's of lovely news over the last couple of days ! Congratulations everyone!

@Bluehawaii29 I see you have been asked to take more oestrogen, when is your next scan ?

It's my lining scan tomorrow morning !
