@StaceyWS88 hun I was like that last week Monday and Tuesday I was so so upset because I also had no symptoms what so ever. Literally park your self in bed with a big fat TV infront of you and watch love in the villa. It's based in Italy and it's quite a funny love story it will take your mind off things. Control in 1 hand and your water in the other just keep on watching netflix snd let the days roll over. You just need to let your bosy do what it needs to do. Bloody medication has alot to answer for I think I spent 1/3 wanting to kill my husband and the other 2/3 of the time being anxious and upset

Has anyone had this before? I've been told they don't know if it is a follicle or a cyst? It's 19mm. I feel so anxious waiting for blood results.

Hi Ladies’,

I hope you’re all well.

I’ve started getting some brown/pink blood when I wipe after the toilet. I had my transfer Saturday, so I’m only 4 dpt or 5dpt I’m never sure when it counts from. Is this normal or should I start worrying? Xx

I’m sorry but no I didn’t have that on my first scan. Hopefully it’s all okay though xx

@IVFlife I’m so sorry and I hope you find out asap

Sounds like it could very well be implantation! I was told this could happen.

Just had my transfer. Don’t know what to do next. It feels so surreal.

@IVFlife hope you find out ASAP and it’s positive news for you.

@Fizzle1987 could be implantation symptoms, fingers crossed for you! When is test day?

@BiscuitLover3678 well done, make sure you get lots of rest! When do you test?

Fizzle1987 · 03/05/2023 15:40

@Frisbeee i don’t know. It feels very much like it does when I come on my period. Would I come on my period whilst still taking the progesterone? Xx

@BiscuitLover3678 Just relax and enjoy the moment. I felt pretty blissful on Saturday just knowing it was in there ☺️ xx

Is it worth messaging the clinic or giving them a quick call? I’m sure they’d be happy and prefer you ask.

@Fizzle1987 hey hun in my experience brown blood is dried up implantation spotting so please try not to worry. Speak to your doctor if you want peace of mind however in my case this has been a positive sign in the 2 cases I was successful. Am crossing all my fingers for you hun I know how stressful it is and every little pain and ache and sign is a worry just as much as having nothing is a worry. All we can do is pray that all will be OK.

Fizzle1987 · 03/05/2023 15:47

BiscuitLover3678 · 03/05/2023 15:42

14 days so feels like a long time! You?

For some reason I got told to do a test this coming Monday, so it will be 14 days from my retrieval but only 10 days from my transfer? Xx

Vallef · 03/05/2023 15:48

@CR7 how are you doing hun?

@BiscuitLover3678 Well done on your transfer take it easy for the next 48 hours literally just put your feet up no bending no stressing no doing house chores. Just park your self infront of the TV with a cup of tea xx

Frisbeee · 03/05/2023 15:49

BiscuitLover3678 · 03/05/2023 15:43

I’m so sorry @Frisbeee i mixed you up with fizzle!

@BiscuitLover3678 Ah don’t worry, it gets confusing with all the messages! I’ve got a test date of Monday 15th but I’m sure I’ll test early!

I had a call this morning to say nothing made it to blastocyst to freeze which is a massive shame. The 2 they put back on day 3 were highly fragmented so our chances are very low this cycle. Still keeping everything crossed though!!

CR7 · 03/05/2023 16:47

@Fizzle1987 some ladies do get their period before test date, regardless of progesterone. I've always made it to OTD before I got my period x

CR7 · 03/05/2023 16:50

@Vallef I'm doing ok thank you xx wishing away the days. If we count transfer day last Tuesday as day 0 then today is day 8. I can never get the abbreviations right ha - 8dpt with a 5day embryo or however you write it.

Couple of cramps yesterday which I've never had before but nothing else to report. Still doing a sh1t load of drugs and trying to be relaxed before OTD on Monday. How are you xx

@Fizzle1987 I tested on the 10th day post transfer in my last 2 cycles so it is also normal so don't worry!

CR7 · 03/05/2023 18:24

@Vallef did you get a conclusive result xx

Vallef · 03/05/2023 18:29

@CR7 am crossing my fingers I think cramps are gd they say its embryo embedding so hope all goes well! So you test on xay 14? Did you have the cramps today or day 7? I can't get the hang of the abbreviations either. Am ok although jad cramps for the whole day today snd had some brownish blood when I wiped which again has made my brain go haywire. I know brown is old.blood which could of been from.implantation coming out and is quite normal bit because of my experience with the miscarriage just made my stress levels go up. Do you know what gets me? The fact we go through so much and last cycle when I misscaried I was so traumatised the way it happend all the blood as my period is quite lightish anyway and only last 3 days so for me who never read up how miscarriage can happen I wasn't prepared so now it's stuck with me. Where ad other women I speak to who misscaried not via IVF didn't even know they did until their scan for example. It's like yet another whammy you know?

CR7 · 03/05/2023 18:35

@Vallef if transfer Tuesday was day zero and otd is Monday 8th that is 13 days if I've worked it out right.

Yesterday I got a tiny bit of pink which was day 7 but I think it's the pessaries maybe irritating. I did a mock cycle before this and then this cycle so I feel like my insides have had enough recently haha! I use cyclogest and they are bit pointy on one end so may have scraped myself.

I never had a symptom in my two previous unsuccessful transfers so I have no idea. Just trying not to fixate on everything xx

My period have always been light. The dr told me that's me chase my endometrium is always thin. I'm on so many drugs though haven't had a problem with my lining on this cycle and mock cycle xx

That’s good to know. I guess every clinic is different xx

IVFfirsttimer91 · 03/05/2023 19:00

@Vallef try not to worry. I had the same my last cycle and I got a positive result on day 14. I had a gush of red blood too which scared the crap out of me, but turned out to be fine. Fingers crossed for everyone in their 2ww xx
