Anybody having FET July or August?

Just waiting for my next cycle to start after a freeze all cycle. It should've been here last week but seems to be delayed so I feel like it's just a ticking clock. This will be my first FET, first ever transfer actually.

Anybody else in the same boat and want to keep me company?

Well all my fears have been confirmed and the beta HCG has dropped from 2070 on Tuesday to 1000 today so I am out.

Sending all my prayers to the rest of you.

I'm so sorry @Rtmhwales there's not enough words. Please mind yourself xx

ParkerH1 · 12/08/2022 22:18

@Gracie2021 yeah I started the journey with only my mum and dad knowing and then after egg retrieval I told my brother and sister. So it's been really good having their support. I've told my staff in work and now they won't let me do much in work as they saw me leave work when I thought I was loosing it and apparently I looked v ill, now they know it all makes sense so they are making sure I'm ok. My friends that I've told are all doing the same too which is great.

@Rtmhwales have you had your call? I've got my fingers crossed for you. I still get the pains and occasional cramps think I'm just waiting to bleed again as they did say I will. Doesn't help though think its made me more anxious. Yeah I agree it's v surreal paying all the money for them just to say your done here now until you want to go through it again.

ParkerH1 · 12/08/2022 22:19

@Rtmhwales oh hun sorry I only just saw the post after I submitted it. There is truly no words I am so sorry hun. Please look after yourself. I am here for you

@Rtmhwales I am so sorry. This process is so brutal isn't it. Be kind to yourself. Flowers

@Rtmhwales I’m so so sorry to read your post. I wish we could turn the clocks back and give you a different outcome. What a brutal journey. Hope you’re taking care of yourself, do you have the support around you that you need? We’re all here to chat if or when you want to xx

Roobles79 · 13/08/2022 08:18

@rtmhwales I'm so so so sorry. X

Glitterandunicorns · 13/08/2022 08:56

I'm currently 4dp5dt and I've started spotting. I think it's a little heavier than I would expect to see with implantation bleeding.
This is my second go round (my first ended up the same and it turned into a full period before OTD).
My clinic are discussing whether to increase my pessaries but I'm devastated as I really think it's going to turn out the same as last time.

JessLaw96 · 13/08/2022 09:34

@Rtmhwales so sorry to hear that sending all my love to you!

@Gracie2021 so my results came back really good they wanted at least 80 and mine was over 500 so looking good. Ive got my 7 week scan booked in for a few weeks time so as it stands I'm 4w1d today!

Gracie2021 · 14/08/2022 19:17

So sorry just catching up now.

Wishing you all the best @Rtmhwales and hope you're doing as well as can be expected xx

Sounds like you have a great support system around you @ParkerH1 and great that the folks in work are minding you!

Hope you're doing ok @Glitterandunicorns and the spotting has eased? All crossables crossed for you!!

Fantastic news @JessLaw96 what dpt was that blood tests at? Googling here seeing what I should expect at 14dpt. What stage is your scan booked in for?

JessLaw96 · 14/08/2022 19:21

@Gracie2021 so I had my blood test 15dpt!
I will be 7 weeks when I have my scan on 2nd sept.
do you have your bloods booked in?

Gracie2021 · 14/08/2022 19:30

First bloods are tomorrow but I won't hear until Tuesday. Hoping to find out next steps tomorrow so keeping my fingers crossed. Thankfully lines are still progressing so just focusing on that keep me sane while waiting. 4w4d today.

Gracie2021 · 14/08/2022 19:31

Seven weeks is a great time for it @JessLaw96. See so many people being stressed out with 6 week scans as it seems to be just on the cusp of when the heartbeat etc is forming. Fingers crossed.

JessLaw96 · 14/08/2022 19:33

@Gracie2021 yess 7 weeks will be a good stage for it! Im looking forward to that!
are you working yours out from the first day of your last period?

I did that at first so technically i would be 4w6days today but then when i went for my
bloods the lady said I was 4 weeks that day when i thought I was 4w4days so not sure how they are working that out.

Gracie2021 · 14/08/2022 19:43

I use this calculator that bases it off a 5 day embryo transfer @JessLaw96

Gracie2021 · 14/08/2022 19:43

Find it handy for a quick overview of dates too

JessLaw96 · 14/08/2022 19:55

@Gracie2021 oh cool, I just done that and it says 5w1d but imm assume what the clinic said and im 4w2d

Glitterandunicorns · 14/08/2022 19:57

@Gracie2021 thanks so much. My clinic has asked me to go up to three Cyclogest pessaries per day. Yesterday everything seemed to stop again but I've just had the tiniest bit of spotting again and a bit more cramping.
My clinic has said that if I have heavy spotting/ bleeding over the weekend, then they will get me in to see the consultant here but frankly I'm not sure what the options are at this point.
I'm just praying that the spotting will stop. Im currently 5dp5dt and official test day is Thursday (so I'd be 9dp5dt). I def want to do a test before that as I'd rather know before the blood test but I'm so afraid to do it which I know is so silly.

Gracie2021 · 14/08/2022 20:35

Glad the spotting is quiet ending down @Glitterandunicorns and hopefully the extra progesterone does the trick! Glad your clinic is so responsive too.

Wow that's way off @JessLaw96! Did we transfer the same day? 1st august?

JessLaw96 · 14/08/2022 20:51

@Gracie2021 I transferred on 28th July

JessLaw96 · 14/08/2022 20:52

@Gracie2021 the website is wrong in terms if when nhs says you should go by for me personally based on my first day of my last period id be 5w tomorrow in sure when i have my 7w scan they will defo confirm dates

WildSheep · 15/08/2022 11:53

I'm 6w 4d today and the spotting has returned, sometimes pinkish sometimes a bit brown. I was feeling sick last week but it seems to have gone now so I'm debating whether to ring the EPU to see what they say. My scan at my clinic isn't for another week and a half and I have a feeling they'd just tell me to wait and see. Terrified of going to be told it was a MMC.

Now trying to catch up with everyone's posts. This feels like such a brutal rollercoaster ride!

Roobles79 · 15/08/2022 12:06

@wildsheep I am bleeding here again too. Its more than spotting and red blood. Cramps too and feeling of period coming. I think I am 6w 1 day. Hope you are okay. Are you having cramps?

WildSheep · 15/08/2022 12:14

@Roobles79 I'm sorry to hear that. I feel like I've read every single thread about bleeding at 6 weeks and I'm still none the wiser. Yesterday evening I had quite strong cramping but I actually thought it was trapped wind. It felt like a painful stitch. But this morning I have spotting and cramps, which feel a bit like period pains. How long have you been bleeding for? Have you been seen by your clinic or EPU?

Roobles79 · 15/08/2022 12:19

@wildsheep it's just started but it's fresh blood and like a period again. Cramps feel a bit like trapped wind for me too. No sign of the bleeding stopping for me at the moment. I'm in bed resting. Not sure what to do, will have to call clinic I think they did say if I bleed again may have to have bloods. What will you do? Hope you aren't in too much pain with the cramps.
