2dp5dt, who else is in 2ww?

[Greenleaves20]

It’s the dreaded 2ww after my FET on Tues. checking for bleeding all the time, symptom spotting etc. How is everyone else doing?

Last night I had cramping and this morn had the tiniest amount of pinkish discharge. Could be combo of constipation causing cramps and pessaries irritating cervix rather than implantation. Don’t want to get hopes up as probs a bit early for implantation?!!

This is my 5th transfer and if successful will be our 3rd IVF baby. We’ve been incredibly lucky.

Hi all, first time going through fertility treatment, currently 1week post FET & today experiencing cramps & there was a tiny bit of light bleeding on wiping an hour ago. Can’t help feel disheartened, as my period is due Wednesday & it feels like it is on its way. OTD is Thursday & currently feel like testing now so that I get the heartache out of the way. Reading through everyone’s messages are comforting as I know I’m not the only one going through this torture :-(

@MimosasInFrance that looks really good! all sounding very positive at the moment. With my successful FET I don’t think the line started to get darker for a good few days.

@clhiu Im glad you didn’t have to trek into your clinic yest! Good luck with testing tomorrow 🤞

@April623 I hope your line continues to get darker, that would be amazing!

My bleeding has carried on all day today, bright red with some small clots. Not looking good at all. Decided to test this eve after a neg this morn and have got a very very faint positive. I’m now thinking it must have started to develop and then stopped but a tiny part of me still has hope that it has survived through all this bleeding. Obviously I’m spending this evening googling it as I can’t concentrate on much else anyway. I think I know deep down that it’s over but I’m just letting myself down a bit at a time.

@Cmc87 sorry to hear you’re going through this too, it’s such a horrible thing to have to deal with and a never ending rollercoaster. I hope you’re ok x

@clhiu joining in xx I had my transfer last Tuesday. I'm also on lubion which I am not a fan of and two cyclogest amongst many other things.

@clhiu I have the same. It looks like a big mosquito bite after I do it each evening x

Been reading all your posts and glad many of us are in the same boat. My official test date is Monday but we will test Saturday as my husband is away for work. having been through this (unsuccessfully) twice before we won't test at all until then. Too many stories of false results which I can't face. I would rather live in hope personally which I understand goes against the norm.

Not a single symptom. But many drugs.

Morning
pessary
Steroids 20mg
Inhixia injection
Oestrogen 2 tablets

Evening
Progesterone injection (lubion)
Pessary

Every other night -
3 100mg oestrogen patches

@clhiu Good luck for your test tomorrow evening, you deserve a medal for holding on for so long. Very wise given the turmoil some of us are now going through! But I'm sure that waiting comes with a different set of challenges too.

Oh gosh @Greenleaves20 this must feel so confusing. I guess the next couple of days will bring some clarity for you. I hope the clinic are able to give some advice tomorrow. Thinking of you.

Welcome @Cmc87 and @CR7 - you are not alone in the torture! Best of luck to you both 🍀

Thank you @April623 😘

@April623 thank you, there really is no right or wrong way or easier or harder way for sure. I am so scared of a BFN that may also be why I was able to hold off so long. I’m basically chickening out of it.

@Greenleaves20 that must be so confusing and stressful, glad to hear you can see your clinic tomorrow and still hoping for you ❤️

@CR7 and @Cmc87 welcome to the club

so I had lots of nausea today, which is dangerous because I’ve now pretty much convinced myself it must have worked, which means a truly crushing defeat if negative tomorrow.

@April623 I'm the same. Would rather stay in the bubble of hope

@clhiu @CR7 I understand how you feel because after my testing nightmare I just want to hold on to my faint positive and never test again!! Your symptoms do sound positive though @clhiu 🤞🏼

Morning all, just catching up with you all 🤍

@Greenleaves20 - I'm so sorry to hear that, it must be so upsetting. Thinking of you and hoping you get the answers you need from you clinic soon.

@clhiu - let us know how you get on. Crossing everything for you. Your symptoms sound encouraging to me.

@CR7 and @Cmc87 - welcome! Glad to meet more folk going through a similar thing. How are you doing this morning?

@April623 - how are you getting on?

Sorry if I've missed anybody, writing this on my walk to the station this morning. First day back at work since FET due to all the hospital drama last week. Feels weird and unnatural to have to concentrate on work matters with all this going on 😅

Morning @MimosasInFrance ! Just changed my patches. Done my inhixa and steroids and pessary and now chilling. Can't believe last Tuesday was transfer day for me. Half way there. Hope work isn't too stressful today. Thank you for the lovely welcome xx

May I join? Had FET on 26th with a PGS tested normal 4bb embryo and have of course been stupidly testing since 4dp5dt with only negatives to show... plus a lot of tears. We have a gorgeous daughter from another FET and naively I thought this one would just work as well but I'm feeling very despondent. I got a faint line on 6dt with her so it's impossible not to compare!

We're doing IVF abroad and because of our flights my Dr wants me to do a beta blood test this evening - I've been using the Clear Blue ultra early though and they're supposed to show up with as little as 10ml so I'm not expecting the beta to come back as positive.

I hate this! IVF feels like such a roll of the dice each time...

@loulamay it's so very hard. A total rollercoaster xx

@loulamay welcome to the chat and sorry to hear about the situation you're going through, they say every pregnancy is different so I really think you may still be in for a chance. I hope the blood test shows more positive signs❤

I am an absolute bag of nerves today, literally driving myself crazy and probably being over-dramatic, but I am terrified of how I may react if the test is negative, I really don't know if I'm gonna be able to cope given this feels very much like my last ever chance to ever having a baby, not to mention the cost that's gone into making this one single transfer possible (£20+k with all the additional test and meds), I may have an actual breakdown.

Sorry to sound slightly nuts here, but had to share with someone who can understand how much truly is a stake with this.

Waiting to book my progesterone and beta HCG until I've done the test later as I don't want to jinx it, but they said they'd be happy for me to have them as early as tomorrow even if OTD is Friday. I'm not even a superstitious person usually, but I keep doing little random things like that, thinking they will improve my chances, ridiculous really 😂
Two days ago I put some petrol in the car and told myself 'if I hit £30 exactly the transfer has worked, if I go over it hasn't' and I got to £30.01, even trying to be very careful and despaired for a few minutes thinking it must be a fail. Someone save me from myself!!

@clhiu totally natural and you're not going crazy. Are you testing tomorrow then? First wee of the day and a blood test?

I totally understand on the money front. We are at about £35k and counting. Be thankful we aren't in the USA where it's even more expensive. Xx

I second the money stuff. Sometimes I think about it and it makes my stomach twist into knots.

If I were feeling any less insane myself I might be able to save you @clhiu but I'm a wreck at this point! 😂The petrol story made me smile though - I hate it when I don't fill up on a round number. The things we do to ourselves!

@CR7 , testing this evening once I got work out of the way, will try not to drink for at least 2 hours before testing, should be fine. With my first pregnancy I tested in the evening with a ClearBlue early on CD29 (same as today) and I got a clear positive. Obvs if it's negative I'll have a terrible evening and try again tomorrow with FMU, but It's a risk I decided to take.

@clhiu I think as you're so far on and not testing too early, you're absolutely right that the results will hopefully be clear. Am thinking of you xx

Thank you @CR7 🤍

@clhiu - Will be thinking of you later 🤍 And really, really hope you get the outcome you want.

Will you have someone with you when you test later? Do your family and friends know and could provide support if needed? My clinic have counsellors on hand for patients, I'm not sure of your situation but it might be worth asking if they have anyone you can speak to afterwards if you need to. Whatever happens I'm sure that you're really going to go through the wringer emotionally and it's worth making sure you have something in place, especially if you're feeling fragile.

@loulamay - welcome! It must be so hard to not compare to your last FET experience, but I hear each one is different and I've read online of lots of people not getting their BFP til 8/9dpt or later so I definitely think you're still in with a good chance 🤞

Can I jump on?
I’m 9dpt today. It’s my 3rd fet. Extremely fortunate to have a 3 year old from my first fresh transfer in 2019. We had 5 good quality embryos suitable for freezing so just working our way through them, or at least that’s what it’s starting to feel like. I had a CP in our last transfer, which was absolutely crushing.
Not feeling hopeful at all about this transfer ☹️ OTD is Sunday but debating testing earlier…just want the torture to end.
Good luck to everyone else in the same position, it truly is a horrid process!

Hey everyone and welcome to the newbies. Unfortunately my bleeding has got much heavier today so I know this cycle hasn’t worked for me sadly. I’ve got two amazing IVF babies already and I want to wish you all the best of luck for your future pregnancies or further cycles if you have to go again. Both of our babies were from the 3rd IVF cycle - one fresh and one FET but we don’t have any frozen ones left now so that’s the end of the IVF chapter for us. Thanks for all your support on here during this 2WW x
