IVF / PGD / PGT-A/ PGT-M July 2022 Cycles

[Bellwells]

Hiya

Is anyone else due to start treatment July 2022 or around then?

I thought to make this thread so that we can all have a chat whilst going through treatment so that we don't feel alone.

Wishing you all the best of luck on your journey.

Hope everyone is doing ok and the 2ww is going well. I can imagine some of you are passed 7dpt I think last time I tested around that time as I got some implantation and freaked it was AF and was a wreck it was all over. I'm thinking of you all.

I finally feel I have seen the back of the OHSS finally the last day or 2 I gave up on the coconut water and Lucosade sport I couldn't bare to drink another drop lol they say it helped but tbh I just felt like it just took a week or so for my body to get back to normal.

@John100 so exciting I hope the scan goes well will you be 7wks then?

Hi @Tonim86 glad your feeling better.

I'm 5dp5dt and going silently insane- I'm battle with myself to test or not to test but I'm scared of a Chem so I'm trying to hold out. I know I will be devastated if this doesn't work.

Glad you’re feeling better
I think it will be just over 6 weeks? When we have the scan.
Its hard not to get too excited 😂

@John100 your officially pregnant- that's huge!

I tested this morning. I’m 6 days post transfer and it was negative! Feeling very stupid. Don’t do it!

@mooneagle yeah that’s the worst, because then you’re thinking it might change. I’m also 6dpt and won’t be testing until OTD, unless I get a migraine first. I did last time, got the migraine day before OTD and knew I was out.

I have a headache today, not pleased about it because headaches and migraines mean Af is due for me, I’m hoping it’ll go away. My period would be due tomorrow if I wasn’t on progesterone 😞

I lied, I’m 7dpt, my app wasn’t updated.

@mooneagle I was just thinking oh I've not had a drink for hours should I test and then I seen this- so Thank you.

@thislittlebird progesterone can cause headaches too.

I'm 6dp5dt and really struggling-
I hope work will distract me from tomorrow and then I just have another weekend to contend with I may test a day early if AF hasn't shown by then as other with the same transfer date as me have a day of 31st.
It sounds silly but then if it's negative I can start the nee month fresh and have a day to myself to get over it. I feel like it's going to hit me harder this time around x

@PMAmostofthetime I logged my symptoms for my last FET. I got headaches daily for 4 days, then a migraine (which is get every month), then a BFN, then AF. So right now I’m hoping the same pattern doesn’t play out again.

I know what you mean about a fresh month. My clinic tells me to keep taking the Cyclogest and test again a week later if I get a negative but that seems so pointless :/

@thislittlebird what app are you using please I use one to track my cycles but don't have one for IVF.

@PMAmostofthetime I use Fertility Friend! It has meds, ART, symptoms sections so you can add everything in.

@thislittlebird thank you

Does anyone know roughly how delayed my AF should be we doing FET, EC was last Friday and I usually would of come on thurs/fri just gone

@Tonim86 I can't help sorry mine came on time with fresh cycle last time. Hopefully someone can help.

Anyone else feeling sicky.
The thought of eating chicken and the smell of it making me nauseous 🤢
I'm not a big meat eater but I like chicken.

Hey everyone!
sorry I’ve been so quiet - been trying to get my head around everything 😵‍💫
im so excited for all you TWWers!! Eeek! You must be going crazy!!!
keeping everything crossed for you!!

we’re starting stims again in the next couple of days - just waiting for an annoying late AF! She never shows when you actually want her to does she?! 🙄
we’re doing the same short protocol and heading back to Spain earlier this time to get monitored closer and hopefully avoid ovulating early again 😵‍💫 I’m so nervous!!
much less anxious about the meds this time though 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kelb79 so glad you have a plan- I know she never shows on time does she! And always shows up when you don't want to see her for 9 months x

@PMAmostofthetime @thislittlebird the two week wait is such an anxious time! Good luck to both for getting through another week..I’m hoping I can have an easy day at work as feel so on edge.

@mooneagle Thank you-
I feel on edge too.

7dp5dt today- I seem to be losing more and more of the pessaries since 5dp5dt, anyone else finding this?
I also have pains in my stomach like I've pulled it.

X

@mooneagle @PMAmostofthetime absolutely nothing going on here at all. Not even a twinge. Had a slightly tender boobs for days and days but that’s the progesterone so 🤷‍♀️. My hopes aren’t very high, AF would be due tomorrow without the meds.

I use Cyclogest rectally so don’t have any of the loss issues.

I’m 8dp5dt

@PMAmostofthetime the sickness whilst horrid is a really positive sign 🥰 when did you start feeling it? I had serious nausea when I then got my positive. When are you planning to test?
im sooo desperate to feel symptoms but nothing yet for me, and the thought of having to do it all again is breaking my heart. Xx

@Agapanthus13 same for me. I’m so anxious, I’m visualising yet another negative test. I just don’t feel like this has worked.

@thislittlebird it’s soo tough. I’m desperately symptom spotting, but in reality I haven’t noticed anything of significance. When do you think you’ll test? I’m not sure which is worse- waiting til otd and then being thoroughly disappointed (I’ve done that before having thought it had worked) or testing early and all the stress that comes with that (once I had to watch a lovely line get stronger only to then fade away after otd) or get a negative and then obsessively test hoping to see the faintest of lines. All options suck.
sorry I’m a bit glum today so not the best person to chat to for motivation!!

@Agapanthus13 Same here. I'm doing too much googling of nothing really. I'm sad because I had the tiniest bit of blood tinged CM on days 3 and 4, and obviously that gave me a sliver of hope. I don't want the stupid hope, it was probably a scratch from the catheter.

I don't normally test much before OTD (Thursday this time), I'll see how I feel the next couple of days. But I don't want a BFN to ruin my weekend, I need to get the house ready for family staying soon but I'm worried if I do it Thursday I'll have a meltdown right when I need to be busy.

I'm not in a good place either, you aren't alone.

@thislittlebird youre so close to otd, not much longer to go xx how many days post transfer are you atm?
I know, all I find myself doing is googling and writing on here- I don’t want to think about it but I desperately just want to talk to others even if I’m not event saying anything much!! I’ve had two surprise pregnancy announcements last week too which really threw me!
