IVF April 2023

[BiscuitLover3678]

anyone else due to start in April?

So I’ve definitely had faint positives today and yesterday and they’re definitely from the trigger but it still somehow gives me hope!

How’s everyone else feeling?

@Fizzle1987 absolutely doesn't sound stupid at all. Google is awful. Truly awful at times like this.

As a recap I transferred Tuesday last week with OTD on Monday 8th which makes me day 9 today after a 5dt. I'm still refusing to test. I am quite unusual as I never tested early in my other two cycles. Too many misresults for me. I would rather know conclusively one way or the other and not stress myself out. I know I'm weird doing that but I would rather live in a hopeful bubble and not send myself crazy testing xx

@StaceyWS88 - how many days post transfer are you? xx

@TTCIVFMAMA 3dp5dt 😂 I have no self control.

@CR7 oooh not long now! I was good the first round, second round I only tested early once I started bleeding and this round I don’t know wtf is going on, all logic is out

@StaceyWS88 - it's okay - I'm the same. I'm a serial tester and I hate it - it gives me more anxiety than anything else :( ! I'm hoping the long weekend helps because my OTD is Monday 8th. I am a bag of nerves!

How are you coping with the 2ww? xx

@TTCIVFMAMA ooo we are testing the same day! I think someone else is as well but I can’t remember x

@CR7 Ahhh! Testing date triplets! Have you caved yet?xx

@TTCIVFMAMA im ok thanks, just had my second EPU appointment and the sac is still there so having the medical management medication tomorrow. They wanted to let me go another two weeks and come back for another scan, but I had to refuse, psychologically Thats too much for me to bear.

@1yearTTC no I won’t do it to myself xx too many people I know spent the TWW stressed to the max buying tons of tests and panicking. I can’t live like that. I wouldn’t sleep or function. What will be will be xx

I’m the 3rd one 😊. And like you @CR7 i haven’t tested and don’t plan to until Monday. I haven’t even brought any tests yet to avoid temptation. How are your symptoms at day 9? Xx

It’s like a compulsion isn’t it? I’m that bad that I’ve took all of next week off work so I can stress and not have to concentrate on not messing up at work! Aw amazing, not long now!!

I’m okay at the moment but at the weekend I’ll start going crazy, can’t wait 😌

@StaceyWS88 @Vallef no symptoms at all. Not bought a test either. My husband will pick one up at the weekend. Probably one of the fancy digital CB ones. I do have a fear each time I go to the loo that I’ll have got my period but on the last two unsuccessful transfers I got to test date and didn’t get my period till I stopped taking the drugs xx

I bled both of my previous transfers. I’ve had dreams about bleeding so even now I’m scared I’ll see blood.

When I actually was pregnant before my chemical I had no symptoms, and I know it’s different for everyone but to me no symptoms is a good sign ☺️

🤞🏻for you xx

@TTCIVFMAMA just saw your clearblue tests, eeeeee how exciting!! Have you tried a FRER?

@StaceyWS88 it's such a bloody rollercoaster xx

@CR7 @Fizzle1987 - I wish I had the same willpower as you both. I broke down and test as soon as I could (yesterday.)

I haven’t had any symptoms so wanted to mentally prepare myself because test day isn’t too far now xx

@StaceyWS88 - I literally just got one and did it! What do we think? 7dp5dt? I think it looks a little too faint xx

@TTCIVFMAMA it looks good tbh!!

Aw amazing! I think it looks good!! What I’d think would be expected for a day 7 test ☺️ aw congrats!!!

@CR7 and @StaceyWS88 I know it's hard but really try ans hold off till the date they give you as a false negative could make you so disappointment. You can also ask your clinic to do a blood test without you testing as it's more accurate. I really just didn't want ro do a test I couldn't handle it.
I for some reason am having a light headed spell so got back in bed not sure if it's normal at week 4 and 5 days

@TTCIVFMAMA congrats hun that looks like a positive so relax now and let nature take its course til your official test date!

@IVFfirsttimer91 am sorry to hear your going through that and am so glad to hear you rearing to go for round 2 hun. Perseverance is needed trust Me this was round 4 for me and each time I feel am becoming more of a pro as to what to do and expect. God knows how ladies who sre at cycle 6 and more feel like!

That makes complete sense! I’m ok thanks, at least physically. I mean I’m a little tired but that could also be me having no caffeine. I really hate all this waiting. Anyone got any nice plans to keep them busy in TWw?

I defo won’t test. I haven’t got one on purpose xx

@Vallef thanks! We are very excited for round 2, but I think the stress of the sac still being in situ this long after I was told the pregnancy stopped developing (week 6) is making me a little crazy. I just want it all to be over and done with now. At least I won’t be going back to Lewisham to the EPU again any time soon. The staff were all great, but it was so depressing.
