IVF April 2023

[BiscuitLover3678]

anyone else due to start in April?

It’s hard just from my last round seeing the lines not darken and then day 11 seeing the line fade to pretty much nothing. Ugh I wish it was just straight forward!

@StaceyWS88 do I remember you have OTD and official blood test on Saturday?

Yeah Saturday. Last time it was the day before they the line faded so I’ll worry until then! Xx

@StaceyWS88 I'd like you to try to not worry!!!

@StaceyWS88 its still a good strong line for now so try not to worry (I know saying that won’t make you worry any less though!) OTD is sooo close now. My clinic offers a second blood test a couple of days after the first to check the HCG levels are progressing as they should so you should check with your clinic if they can do that if there’s any doubt at all after the results on Saturday? In the meantime, keep yourself busy & we’re all here for you!! xx

I called and asked and she said if the levels are 200+ they wouldn’t redo the test. She told me I’m mentally torturing myself and to stop testing and I said I can’t promise anything 😂 xx

@StaceyWS88 it's just 2 more days to go please try and relax and if you don't trust the tests maybe just tell the clinic you want a blood test on the Saturday as the blood test won't lie! Even the GP can send you for a blood test I'd the clinic doesn't want to do it so there are also options via the GP.

@StaceyWS88 it really is very stressful but stay positive and if testing everyday makes you feel better then carry on xx

how are you feeling @CR7? I’ve had an anxious couple of days with spotting still and yesterday it was heavier around the middle of the afternoon with some slightly redder blood and cramping but I had a blood test yesterday morning l, my hCG was 130 however my progesterone level was only 13, so I had to go straight to the clinic and pick up progesterone injections, I’m hoping it was caught early enough. I’m back to very light spotting now and no cramps. I think I might do another test Saturday to see if im still positive 😥 xx

Haha can completely understand not promising not to test 😂

Have you checked your test again from this morning to see if it’s any darker now it’s dry? I know they’re only valid for the 3 minutes but they do definitely dry darker so if you’re comparing it for line progression against dry ones that might help. Hope that makes sense!!

These are what they look like now 🤔

@Fizzle1987 it sounds like it’s so hard to relax at any point even after positive test. Sounds like your clinic have been great acting so quickly and getting you straight on progesterone injections. Hope you’re feeling ok and can relax soon!

Sorry I totally missed your second part of the post! Aw I’m sorry that must be really scary 😣 glad you’re on progesterone and hopefully it’s just baby giving you a scare! Xxx

@StaceyWS88 i think the 10 does look marginally darker than the 9 but it’s 100% a lot darker than 8. Fingers crossed!!!!

I thought this too @StaceyWS88 definitely a little darker I would say. So keep those fingers and toes crossed. Xx

Thank you both, at this point it honestly doesn’t feel like the anxiety will end 🤣 xx

Your lines look good @StaceyWS88 !

im day 15 post trigger and still have a line but it’s still faint 😢

Don’t lose hope yet @BiscuitLover3678 implantation can vary so you’re still in the game for now xx

I feel like it must be pregnancy as would be too late for the trigger still but now I’m worried it’ll be a chemical. Why are the days so slowwww.

The waiting is literally the worst part of the whole process isn’t it!! Far worse than injections, scans, egg collection etc.

Your trigger must be gone by now so fingers firmly crossed!! Not long to go now till you test xx

@BiscuitLover3678 hey hun how you doing and when are you testing? Please try and keep calm these medications don't do any favours to our hormones do they. What round cycle was this? Keep positive snd try and inject happy endorphins in your body xx

That looks really good to me! Especially as still so early

Thanks @Vallef I’m ok really. This is only round one so I know it’s technically early days. Official test is only a few days away so hoping to get there soon.

im glad your scan went well

@BiscuitLover3678 please don't worry. Early days but we all wish and hope it will work from the 1st try no one wants to think about the multiple tries if we can avoid it. Please just be positive hun and keep busy as well? Xx

Out of curiosity how many days post trended were you told to test?

Im alright really I’m keeping busy.

Post transfer

Morning ladies, just me stressing again! Tested at 2am because I woke up dying for a wee and I don’t see any progression. I’m worried that even if my bloods are okay tomorrow they could be dropping and my clinic don’t do a repeat on bloods. I wish I just knew either way what was going to happen. Pic attached, all dried now. I’d love realistic opinions and not just hopeful if that makes sense haha.
