@Vallef I'm Delighted to hear you were looked after like a queen. Luckily a lot of that (but not all) I had at care each time but defo no blood test. I suppose I could ask if I'm willing to pay. At the moment I'm still trying to imagine a positive test having never had one before in all the years of trying. If I get a positive maybe I would ring up and ask xx

@Frisbeee Sounds like you should be past the trigger then. Good luck🍀 I'm negative at 11dpt on FRER unfortunately. Have asked the clinic if I can stop meds as it seems pointless.

April623 · 05/05/2023 12:34

@Frisbeee But yes I am ok thanks 😊

BiscuitLover3678 · 05/05/2023 12:39

Since when do you think you can test from? My transfer was weds so I was told implantation may happen this weekend.

Morning ladies, hope you’re all doing well?

Have others been testing out their trigger shot or is it just me being crazy and obsessive??! How long did it take to leave? I believe the standard is 10-14 days but just interested to hear personal experiences

I haven’t properly tested it since the beginning but have tested 2dp, 3dp and today, 4dp5dt. Today is 11 days since I triggered. I’ve had very faint lines every day. I thought the trigger lasted 10 days 🤔

Vallef · 05/05/2023 12:48

@CR7 I really really hope it's positive hun everyone's deserves it. Honestly don't give up because when my 2nd cycle failed I thought my body is broken it can't get pregnant and that's a shitty feeling on top of everything else going on. But you have to believe it will happen and all am gona say is don't be scared to step out of your comfort zone. Honestly don't think I would be where I am now had I continued my treatment in the UK. I can't stop recommending the treatments here and if anyone can afford treatment in the UK they can certainly afford treatment in Greece where its cheaper as well xx

Frisbeee · 05/05/2023 13:12

@StaceyWS88 ooh fingers crossed for you!!! Hope this is a good sign. Will you keep testing over the next few days?

I’d love to say no but realistically yes, every day 😂 you?

@StaceyWS88 haha I’m exactly the same as you!! I even think I said on this thread this morning that wasn’t going to test again until OTD but I don’t see that happening 😂

Hahaha it’s hard! It’s like some sort of weird obsessive compulsion 😂

Haha it totally is!!! 😂

5dp5dp and BFN on a FRER. I’m actually going to hold off until Monday now. I know it’s still early but it was still crap seeing the negative test. Last round by 7dp (first day I tested) I had a very strong line and have no doubt that by 5dp it would have been showing. I know not all cycles are the same but I’m still worried. And I stopped vaping the day before my transfer (I started again after my chemical) and now all I want to do is buy a vape. I understand why people don’t test early considering the way I feel but I drive myself insane either way 🥴

Frisbeee · 06/05/2023 08:21

@StaceyWS88 oh sorry to hear that but please don’t be too disheartened, it’s still so early so you’re definitely not out yet. I think implantation can take up to 5 days so that may have only just happened for you in which case you wouldn’t have a positive yet. Keeping everything still firmly crossed for you!!!

How have you been feeling? Any symptoms? xx

I’m not sure, I blame everything on the progesterone so I don’t really think too much about symptoms. Really sore boobs, the odd twingey/crampy feeling, emotional, had some nausea a couple days back but it was only that one day.

Ugh I just want to know for certain! Xx

Frisbeee · 06/05/2023 08:41

@StaceyWS88 It’s soo hard isn’t it!! I know what you mean about the symptoms, they could all be from the progesterone, it’s difficult not to symptom spot!

hope you have a lovely weekend planned to keep you distracted until the next test? xx

CR7 · 06/05/2023 11:39

@StaceyWS88 also got no symptoms but I have had ivf successful friends who didn't have symptoms either xx

Vallef · 06/05/2023 11:43

Absolutely devastated today. 5 weeks today and I have fresh blooda and weird lower tummy pain. Been told to stay in bed all weekend, increase my progesterone stop the blood thinner and possibly scan early on Monday or Tuesday but been here before so think am having a miscarriage. Wish we didn't have to suffer so much this is just so unfair😭

CR7 · 06/05/2023 12:06

@Vallef sending you lots of love. We are all here xx

Frisbeee · 06/05/2023 12:10

@Vallef oh no I’m so sorry to hear that. Rest up this weekend. We’re all here to support you xx

@Vallef keeping everything crossed for you. Hoping it’s just pregnancy symptoms. Get plenty of rest xx

Vallef · 06/05/2023 14:40

@CR7 @StaceyWS88 @Fizzle1987 @Frisbeee thank you ladies. Just triying to keep calm really my gut is telling me though ita finished. I passed something black brown stringy sorry for the mental picture but I think that's the embryo as I saw something similar in November when it last happend.
