IVF April 2023

[BiscuitLover3678]

anyone else due to start in April?

Hey do any of you have any experience with using these tests? I’ve been getting the faintest line on them but only when I look about 20 mins after doing the test. Should I disregard them?

@StaceyWS88 my sis used these. She said as long as the line appears before the five minutes is up and not after they are quite accurate x

@StaceyWS88 does it say anything about time on the box?

@CR7 Says 3-5 mins so I think I’m clutching at straws

Hi all. Just looking for some comfort. Took another pregnancy test this morning & it doesn’t look like it’s progressing. Is this me out this round? xx

@TTCIVFMAMA it's so hard to tell as they are most accurate within five minutes. They say not to pay too much heed after that :-(

Where are you up to in your wait x

@CR7 I’m on 9dp5dt xx

@TTCIVFMAMA so so close! You're only two days behind me then? OTD Wednesday? Xx

OTD is Monday 8th but I’m not sure the lines are progressing so wanted to prepare myself. Or should it just be a positive at this point? xx

@TTCIVFMAMA i had a day five transfer on Tuesday April 25th. My OTD is Monday so I figured yours is Wednesday if you're two days behind me? But every clinic is different I suppose

Not sure how clear it should be as I'm not testing til Monday x

I’m with Oxford so I’m not sure how they work out the test date. I wish I had your resilience. I’ve literally just been looking at the tests all day & I know the ones the clinic provide are also a lot less sensitive so don’t even pick up as quick as FRER. DO frozen embryos take longer to implant? xx

@TTCIVFMAMA no exactly the same amount of time x

Ahhh! That just makes me more nervous for Monday

@TTCIVFMAMA just try to relax. So close now x

@Vallef How are you xx

@Vallef also thinking of you today and hope you’re ok x

@CR7 @TTCIVFMAMA @Fizzle1987 good luck for your tests tomorrow!!

Thank you. Trying to keep myself busy today and not think about it too much. Xx

Thank you @Frisbeee xx last day finally

@CR7 @TTCIVFMAMA @Fizzle1987 ladies good luck tomorrow sending some baby dust to you all and please do let us know when you know as I personally will be on tender hooks with crossed fingers for all of you xx

@BiscuitLover3678 @IVFfirsttimer91 and everyone thank you for your wishes also and the support xxx

@Frisbeee thanks hun. Am on bed rest but bleeding has stopped now just had some brown/black type of spotting. Hopefully tomorrow I can find out if I can have an early scan xx

Thank you @Vallef xx one more sleep to go. I promise to let you know. Fingers crossed for you too.

@TTCIVFMAMA and @Fizzle1987 thinking of you both. We are nearly there xx

Im really thinking of you @Vallef ! Please let us know, but also no rush. You need to look after yourself and rest.

I’m only 4 days post transfer and so emotional. Could this be a sign of anything? I think this two week wait is worse than any other part of it. I was so lucky with the medications and injections having few side effects that I thought I’d be able to do it again if needed to. Now I’m not so sure! I don’t feel ready to give up at all but a part of me wants to feel in control again and like I can move on.

@BiscuitLover3678 if you can, try not to test. Some of the ladies on here do find the testing helpful but personally I think I found it much easier to be hopeful and calm when you're not on the testing rollercoaster. I'm on a few threads and many of the ladies have said that in hindsight they wished they hadn't tested as it ended up stressing them out more. But I know it's hard. On my first cycle (which was unsuccessful) I did cave twice and I regretted it and said I wouldn't do it to myself ever again xx
