IVF April 2023

[BiscuitLover3678]

anyone else due to start in April?

Sorry, I’ve just seen this, I get so lost in this thread sometimes 😅. Would it not be pretty early to get the implantation bleeding if I only had the transfer Saturday? Sorry, just thinking all the bad stuff. I will see how things are tomorrow and then might give my fertility nurse a call. It is pretty awful, I’m trying to hope for the best but prepare for the worst if that makes sense. How are you doing? Xx

I think it’s right on cue? I was told I’d implant around days 3-6 so that would be right for you!

Okay, that’s good to know. Sometimes this is all so confusing, so many different symptoms but so many of them are so similar to before I get my period 😅 xx

@Fizzle1987 I find that the only way to survive ttw is not to test and not to obsess over every symptom / feeling / cramp etc. just ride it out, one hour at a time xxx

Any good Netflix or iPlayer suggestions to binge?

@BiscuitLover3678

Netflix - the spy, girl5ever, homeland, love is blind

Bit of everything for you there

@BiscuitLover3678 if you’ve got Apple TV then I recommend Ted Lasso, nice light watching and very funny!

@Fizzle1987 implantation day 5 blastocyst can start literally within 24 to 48 in some people but your day 4 so your right on queue I would say hun! I know it's hard but try not to think about it and keep busy! Am ok been a hard day today cramps all day and abit of brown blood so been stressing all day. My first scan is on the 12th which feels so far away between now and then and anything old happen :(

@Vallef I'm rubbish. When was your transfer. I can't remember

@BiscuitLover3678 watch love in the villa it's a comedy love story base's in Italy that should be a feel gd movie :) try and stick to comedies and love stories nothing heavy. I know sounds weird but my clinic had a psychologist and she said it's gd to try and laugh during the 2WW and watch light hearted movies :)

@CR7 lol its OK it's a big thread with lots of us here! So I did my transfer on 20th April and testes positive on 29th. I did my 2nd hormone blood test on 2nd which was gd so now have my 1st scan booked for the 12th May

@BiscuitLover3678 White Lotus is also good!! Really enjoyed it and think it was on Netflix

@Vallef finally a good news story ♥️

@IVFfirsttimer91 I tested positive and have my scan booked for the 12th it just feels alot could happen between now and then so today's been pretty stressful with cramping literaly more or less all day and abit of brown blood. Anyway how are you at what stage are you?

Thank you ladies’ for all your reassuring messages, they really help 😌 @CR7 @Vallef @BiscuitLover3678

Also, for feel good films I always turn to Adam Sandler, you just can’t go wrong, but my favs are “just go with it” Grown ups 1&2” and “blended” there must be some of them on Netflix xx

I actually heard the same thing about laughing and how it helps with implantation. I’ll give that one a go.

@Vallef thats amazing! Congratulations!!

My pregnancy stopped developing around a month ago. Been dealing with EPU appointments and ‘residue’, but am hopeful that in my next scan tomorrow that the sac has finally gone so that we can go for round 2 on my next period. Xx

In my past cycles I’ve bled for both a failed round and a chemical BUT they were both day 7 onwards, so I think bleeding on day 4 could be a good sign!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Fizzle1987 all sorts on google about implantation bleeding xx

Fingers crossed for you @Fizzle1987 the above sounds really promising!!

Hi all. I hope you guys don’t mind me jumping onto this thread for some advice. I’m a TTC IVF mama on my first FET cycle.

I’m 7dp5dt and have taken two clear blue tests. I’m unsure whether the lines look like they’ve progressed or if they’re even positive as I’ve heard that they’re notorious for evap lines. I’ve attached pictures so any advice would be great. The top one I took yesterday and the bottom one today.

Sending babydust to you all xxx

Hi @TTCIVFMAMA i don’t know much about evap lines, but I can see a faint line for sure on the bottom test and the beginnings of one on the top test. As your only 7 days post transfer its a good sign! Try testing again in a couple of days and hopefully you’ll see that strong blue line. Fingers crossed for you! Xx

@TTCIVFMAMA I’m the same as @IVFfirsttimer91 regarding the evap lines, I just had to google it 😅, but I can definitely see something there. I would definitely give it a couple more days if you can, if not just keep trying every morning and see if it darkens, or have you tried a different pregnancy test brand if the evap thing is a worry? Xx

Okay, it’s still just brown this morning and just on the tissue at present. I feel a little crampy but very mild. Xx

@CR7 this is going to sound so stupid but I’ve been trying not to google symptoms as in the past when I thought I could be pregnant naturally I always googled the symptoms I was having and then my period seemed to come the next day, so I’m trying not to look 🙈. How are you today? Xx

@BiscuitLover3678 how are you feeling today? Xx

@IVFfirsttimer91 and @Fizzle1987 - thank you both for your replies. It's so difficult isn't it - I feel like we spend so much money on trying to find out if we're pregnant. I haven't had any symptoms at all so took the test yesterday to almost prepare myself and see if I could call the clinic to stop taking the meds. But saw the faintest start of a line so had to retest this morning. I might have to go out and buy some tests and see if the test is actually positive!

How are you both doing?xx
