Looking for some buddies who have had a transfer recently. I had my frozen transfer on Tuesday 👀 looking for any suggestions to try and make me forget about it and not obsess too much 🙈

Ah no @Ellenn @ASGIRC I'm not looking forward to that!! I'm on cyclogest had crinone gel with my wee boy.

Anyone on progynova 8/9 & emotional?

Emmcm7 · 07/08/2023 13:04

@DauntedAF @Ellenn how are you guys doing?
4dp today feeling defeated today absolutely zero symptoms… but im going to have a productive week!
Any symptoms yet? Xx

Sheepsheeps · 07/08/2023 13:37

Hi!

Please may I join in?
I had my FET Friday last week so my 2ww ends on Friday the 18th August!
I'm on a real cocktail of drugs, Lubion twice a day, progynova 3 times a day, cyclogest twice a day, another vaginal progesterone gel twice a day (I've forgotten the name!) and finally a steroid injection once a day!
Other than sore boobs which is always perfectly normal for me at this stage of my cycle, I feel absolutely didly squat!!

Ellenn · 07/08/2023 15:51

@Emmcm7 still really nothing from me 🤷‍♀️ I will be 6dp5dt today which is exciting although feel like I will start to get nervous getting to Thursday/Fri as that’s when my period is due 🫣 obsessively checking my pants 🙈 I’ve also planned a productive week, what have you got planned?

@Sheepsheeps hey welcome 👋 wow that is quite a cocktail I hope it helps make the embryo cozy! I love your screen name btw 🐑

@Ellenn and @Emmcm7 very productive weekend but still find it in my mind all the time. Zero symptoms. I didnt have any last time either (which was successful) but I'd still kill for one. Decided I'm defo testing sunday which is 10DP5DT. And most likely Saturday too tbh.
No way I wanna get the good/bad news at work. Would prefer to have the weekend to digest it.

How are ye doing?

DauntedAF · 08/08/2023 09:08

Ughhhhh time is draaaaaaagging

Emmcm7 · 08/08/2023 13:33

@DauntedAF i tested today 🙃😏BFN couldn’t be any more white if I tried! I’m gutted but more annoyed at myself!
I’ve just made this so much harder for myself 🙈 you ok? X

DauntedAF · 08/08/2023 17:52

Yeah grand. Determined to wait til Saturday to test but it's bloody hard
Got my beta test moved to Monday rather than Tuesday though which is a wind

Don't worry about the test. Even if you got a bfp there's be question marks on it given the level of meds in our system. Keep going til sat and try again x

Ellenn · 08/08/2023 18:07

Yeh for my last transfers it always hit me in the second week, so far I’m doing ok at forgetting I’ve actually had a transfer 🙈 no doubt going to start obsessing over it soon. I will do my medichecks beta hcg on Thursday when I will be 9dp5dt I think, I think the levels will be obvious if still trigger or an actual true result!

OP posts:
Ellenn · 08/08/2023 18:08

@Emmcm7 you are still quite early aren’t you? Still got some time for that line to develop

OP posts:
ASGIRC · 08/08/2023 22:58

@Ellenn ovitrelle has a half life of about 30h, which means that every 30h, 50% of it will be eliminated from the body. So even if you took a trigger on transfer day, there will only be about 0.4% of the dosage present in the body. Which is basically nothing!

My clinics OTD is the 9dpt, which is when I had my beta done. There was absolutely zero way any of it was trigger, as it was a number well in the hundreds!!!

@Emmcm7 its still early! At 5dpt youd be lucky to get a squinter, but most people dont!

Ellenn · 09/08/2023 06:06

@ASGIRC yes i had read that my last ovitrelle was on 3dp5dt so not quite a week yet. Don’t tempt me to test early 🤣🤣 will just do the blood on Thursday but might not get result until Monday anyway 🤷‍♀️ but I’d rather that incase it’s a really faint line and I’m not sure is it something or not! I think my test day is 14dp5dt because of taking the ovitrelle x3 times, the data sheet does say can take up to 10 days in some people!

OP posts:
ASGIRC · 09/08/2023 11:40

@Ellenn you had a trigger AFTER the transfer?!?! What is the reasoning for that?
And yeah, it might still be in your system, in that case!
I only took one, a week before the transfer, and it was gone 2dpt (which is when I tested it out), which was 9 days after.

Ellenn · 09/08/2023 11:50

@ASGIRC yes I’ve had x3 ovitrelle injections. One given 3 days before transfer, on day of transfer and 3 days after. My clinic use them in natural cycles not to induce ovulation but to help promote good lining and I think there is medical evidence now that in a natural transfer your better allowing yourself to naturally ovulate but ovitrelle afterwards will improve outcomes due to more receptive/better lining. That’s what the nurses told me anyway! I think all clinics do slightly different things though.

I will be 9dp5dt tomorrow, so will take the medichecks test and it will be obvious anyway if good levels or not. Just think a urine test I won’t be sure if very low levels of ovitrelle or not since I’ve had a few 🤷‍♀️Maybe won’t be till Monday I find out though, I really hope it doesn’t take too long 🙈 I’ve got the test the clinic gave me to use on Tuesday but first need to see if my period will turn up over next few days

OP posts:
ASGIRC · 09/08/2023 11:55

@Ellenn I did a natural cycle, and had the trigger as I got my LH surge, which was a week before the transfer. The just started the pessaries.
Yeah, every clinic has very different protocols! Since were all on progesterone, its amazing how every single one of us is on a completely different dosage, for different periods!

Yeah, a beta will definitely let you know whether it is the ovitrelle or not. As it will give you numbers! Fingers crossed it is a good number!

And hopefully it wont take that long for the results to arrive! my clinic does betas, with same day results, so that was a nice thing!

Ellenn · 09/08/2023 13:52

@ASGIRC thats amazing you get them so quickly! We don’t get betas at our clinic at all 😳 i wish they did! As I’ve had a biochemical before and I hate the feeling is the line good enough or not. At least when you have a number it’s a starting point to see where you go. I’m not on any progesterone yet, get given lubion if my test is positive though.

DauntedAF · 10/08/2023 08:47

Counting down the hours til Saturday when I plan to text. I'll be 9dp5dt then. Anyone else anxious re testing?

Ellenn · 10/08/2023 09:12

@DauntedAF yes I definitely am! Taken my finger prick for my medichecks test this morning to post. I have been having cramps on/off since last night, it’s making me quite anxious and constantly checking my pants as period due soon 🙈 I did cramp for my last transfers so I know if can be a good thing it’s just the unknown isn’t it!

how are you feeling?

OP posts:
ASGIRC · 10/08/2023 11:56

I started testing at 4dpt, so I didnt really get anxious, per se, because I was already doing it and seeing the results.
While I didnt see until the next day, and then thought it was probably an evap line, I had my first very very very faint positive at 4dpt.

But then you continue to worry... Will it evolve? Will they see a heartbeat at the early scan? Is my hCG rising as it should? Its never ending!

Emmcm7 · 10/08/2023 13:05

@Ellenn @ASGIRC yea not long to go now you’ve been super well behaved!
im 7dp and still getting stark white bfn, I know I know I’m not out yet but my last cycle I was + from 3.5 days, tbh as torturous as it’s been I think it’s let me down gently.
Massive fx for you on Saturday keep us updated 😬😬
and @ASGIRC congarts on your bfp! I was the exact same on our first cycle if it’s any consolation I have an 18 year old and I still feel like that!!
good luck ladies! Xx

ASGIRC · 10/08/2023 13:26

@Emmcm7 thank you! I have my scan next week and I cannot wait!! Its also when I plan on telling my family, if everything is fine, and theres a heartbeat! (I will be 6+6 on the day of the scan)

Im sorry yours doesnt seem to have worked. But like you say, youre not completely out yet, so fingers crossed things take a turn!!!

Ellenn · 10/08/2023 13:42

@ASGIRC so exciting!! Time always drags for these things isn’t it and you have to trust something is actually happening in there 🙈

@Emmcm7 sorry to hear but maybe it’s implanted late/going slow! 🤞 when is your OTD? Mine isn’t till Tuesday 🫣

OP posts:
DauntedAF · 10/08/2023 22:09

@Ellenn yeah feeling grand. Tbf works been going at keeping me busy and only one more full day to go til I know as I think by d9p5dt we should know conclusively when I test

Congrats @ASGIRC !!! Trail blazing the way for us!! Best of luck with scan, so exciting

Best of luck @Emmcm7 with the testing. Fingers crossed you'll get your bfp this weekend x

Emmcm7 · 12/08/2023 08:41

@DauntedAF @Ellenn
how did you get on this morning ladies? I’m really hoping it was positive news for you both 🤍
I haven’t tested for a few days will do one later…

@ASGIRC how exciting! Hope all goes perfectly for you! Xx

DauntedAF · 12/08/2023 08:44

Hi @Emmcm7

Think I have a line alright just hoping it gets darker tomorrow. What you reckon? Thanks for thinking of me
