FET October

[ForestThrills]

Hi,

Is anyone else having a FET this month? I think I will have my egg transfer next week. It's my first one.

Thanks @morganablue

Thanks @Hopefull1981 100% alot darker then 2 days go!

Loving all the growing hope in this group!

@Hopefull1981 progression looking lovely! Much darker without any doubt!

@Aim2912 greta numbers congrats! Now a new 2ww

@Emsie1987 lines are getting dark for sure!

@Aim2912 great numbers
@Hopefull1981 Excellent. What tests were you using before frer?

I feel really down today. I have a headache which I suffer with just before I get my period. I’m also having some lower back pain. In my previous pregnancies I have also had heart burn by now and wake really early. Even though I’m waking really early I’m not actually awake enough to stay awake. Feel like basically something is not going right. I hate more frer tests arriving this evening. Amazon doesn’t seem to deliver to us until 6pm

@Emsie1987 sending positive thoughts! I experienced the same. I usually have a headache before period and I woke up with a headache on Monday luckily the beta result was good. This morning I felt lower back pain like what I would usually get during period, maybe just implantation?

@Emsie1987 i am using the Femometer tests with the app. The frers I got the other day have super thick lines, it’s hard to see progression. The other ones make it easier to track. I will however need to order more 😂

sorry you are not feeling well today. How many days past transfer are you? I have zero symptoms wouldn’t even know I was pregnant unless I took a test. I got my progesterone checked yesterday. Just waiting on the result.

@Crazyladywithacat thank you for that. It helps knowing others are experiencing the same. I’m finding the headache is more in the morning as I feel fine now. Maybe it’s hunger.

@Hopefull1981 I am 9dp today. I haven’t been able to do a test yet as Amazon has not arrived. Symptoms mainly are tiredness but not enough to take a nap, waves of nausea, cramps mainly on my right side and lower back pain. The bloated feeling has gone but boobs are still tender.

@Emsie1987 I ordered some frers of a company last week who said delivery in 2 weeks. They had special offer 3 boxes of frers For the price of 2. She just rang and said they would be shipped on the 09th… nightmare. I don’t have any symptoms at all. I hope you feel better soon.

I got my gp to check my progesterone level yesterday as I was feeling nothing. The nurse rang with the progesterone results, they are 80. Anyone know if this is good?
She also asked would you like to know your HCG? I didn’t ask for it as I didn’t want to be in beta hell like last time. It’s 89. My blood was taken at 11.15 yesterday so the exact same time I had the transfer on the 4th. I just turned into 8dp transfer. I am not sure if that’s good either I am trying to stay away from Google.

2 days not 2 weeks 😂

@Hopefull1981 you results look good! Your progestrone is around where mine is and clinic said that was fine. Knowing my clinic is very particular about progestrone I'd say your results are good.

Re you hcg that's is good also, most clinics test on day 10 or day 14 and want it above 150, seeing as beta more then doubles every 48 hrs you should be on track.

I know it's hard for our brains to accept but I think a little whoop whoop!! Is in order!

@Emsie1987 what your feeling my well be pregnancy symptoms, as I had back pain from day 4 to day 9 and felt a little tired. Those were my only symptoms, so these might be positive things. Hope you feel better soon.x

Thanks @Aim2912

That’s good to know about the progesterone. My clinic does no testing at all just a scan at 6 weeks. i just did a digital and it’s 2-3 weeks now. I can breath a little.

Got my beta result back today, 551 more than doubled my result on mo day so they are scheduling my ultrasound in 2.5 weeks. I’m based in US, sounds like we have slightly different process

@Crazyladywithacat wow that beta sounds brilliant.

just tested today 9dp5dt

@Emsie1987 look at those lines! I’m glad I’m not the only one just can’t help test EVERY day! Lol congrats

@Crazyladywithacat thank you. It’s really thrown me how different I feel this time round and how light my first result was. I Don’t feel in a very good place at all mentally and expecting the worst which I was unprepared for. I was cool as a cucumber walking into this but that seems to have changed. Wish I wasn’t an early tester lol.

thanks ladies for all your support on here x

@Emsie1987 we are transfer buddies. I am 9dp5dt too. Testing early isn’t going to change outcome. My clinic said no tests until next Monday.

@Hopefull1981 it is a very good number, yay!

@Emsie1987 lines looking great! I totally understand the anxiety, and questioning every step. This is my 4th transfer and I feel I can barely breathe. I feel a bit sad of not being able to enjoy good news as I am automatically preparing for the worst every time.
I guess that is what fertility journey does to you, just having a guarded and cautious heart all the time.

Had my second Beta results (12dp5dt) and it more than doubled at 792, thankfully! Progesterone was good too.

I have gave in and got booked for 3rd Beta Friday to check again. My clinic really wants to check until it gets to 1000, but not all clinics do of course.

After that they would book me in 2.5/3 weeks (week 7) for an early scan. If I get there, I haven't decided if worth pay privately at Fertility clinic or if join them drop in scan at my local early pregnancy unit.

Trying to enjoy the good news and annoyed that I feel edgy and anxious instead, I cannot help it 🙈

@Crazyladywithacat congrats, your beta looks great!
Now the 2.5 WW all over again :)

@morganablue congrats on the good beta. I feel more and more afraid of needles after having been through IVF cycles. I’m glad my clinic doesn’t require the 1000 mark. I don’t know how you feel about it, but hopefully you are just one test away from it!

@Crazyladywithacat same, I am hating needles too, especially as I am on clexane so I bruise like a peach! I am also having intramuscular injections of progesterone every day, which are a pain, so not looking forward to Friday, but nurse was so adamant I thought I'll just do it and breathe a little after (hopefully, as at the minute I feel like my cats when the door rings 😂)

@Crazyladywithacat @morganablue great betas! Congratulations on getting this far!. Hopefully we can can all wait out the next couple of weeks till the 7 week scan!
I'm trying to keep my self busy with work and reading. Wishing the time away.

@Emsie1987 will pray you start feeling better!

Are any of you using crinone 8% pessary? If so do you have any issues with it? It makes feel quite uncomfortable down there and itchy. Dont no how im going to continue using it till 12 weeks. I only started it on sunday when they upped my meds.

@Aim2912 thanks! I used endometrim vaginal insert twice a day. Apart from the thick discharge from time to time I don’t feel anything

Really happy there is so much good news on here for you all. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for everyone.

I’m still 4 days away from testing. It feels
like it has been such a long week.

I’m relatively symptom free, but I know you can’t read too much into anything.

I think a lot of my feeling are anxiety. I feel a lot better seeing the stronger lines coming through. Todays test was as strong as the control line. I need to do my clinics test tomorrow and then let them know. It was due to be Saturday but I need more meds if it’s worked and there are train strikes around here this weekend and next week so have to go tomorrow to ensure I have them.

@ForestThrills good luck for testing and why are you being naughty for well done on holding off.

@morganablue beta sounds brilliant. That must be making you feel more positive. I think it’s great that some clinics check. Must be a pain having to up there with work though and the anxiety of waiting for each result. I’ve had enough anxiety waiting for Amazon not arrive this week lol

@Hopefull1981 yes we are. My clinic date is Saturday but we agreed Friday due to needing more medication and there is a train strike. What week will they do your scan?
