FET September Crew Thread #3

[GCS34]

Hi guys - filled up the other one, so moving us all here. Tag those I've missed!

@lowo21 @cb2805 @hopingforno2in2023 @Justkeepmoving1234 @Mrsmotts @Kirstysmbc @KG1244 @girljulian @TT82 @arm23 @Jellyfish1956 @asgirc @doughnut89 @Summerishere83 @CDiamond @73pheonix

@Hopingforno2in2023 good news on the five! Will keep my fingers crossed that they keep progressing.

@Hopingforno2in2023 That's great news, these few days are so stressful, so fingers crossed for more good news tomorrow.

I had my transfer today and my embryo thawed perfectly, so now the countdown begins. OTD is on 13dp5dt, so not until 22 November, but there's no way I'll last that long 😂

Fantastic news @kirstysmbc. Keeping everything crossed for baby sticking.

@kirstysmbc sending sticky vibes your way to the final embryo. I feel like it’s a good narrative if the last one is ‘the’ one 😅and thank you for your support. It really helped me and my husband reading your positive experience and your rainbow baby on your transfer after. I hope that’s the case.

@Hopingforno2in2023 great news on 5 fertilised!! Do you get any update tomorrow or is it Saturday for your day 3? Are you going to have a day 3 or 5 transfer?

@Salacia thank you so much for your support. I’ve taken your advice and had some time out from life. I don’t live near the sea but we have done some walking today and it was nice to have some fresh air and non hospital air. It was weird though - after being out for 2 hours I felt like all I wanted to do was go home and shut off the door to the world and stay home in my safety with my husband.

thanks for everyone’s lovely messages. (@kirstysmbc @Hopingforno2in2023 @21C @Jellyfish1956 @ARM23 @girljulian) I just feel numb and empty. As if I’ve just floated through the past few days and floating around with no real purpose, you know? The pain and bleeding has calmed down a lot though so every cloud. X

Many hugs @GCS34. I’m glad you have managed to take some time for yourself and that the bleeding and pain have calmed down.

Had another call this morning and all five are growing well. Grades are 1 x 1-, 2 x 2, 1 x 2- and 1 x 3. So four of them are good quality, the fifth is a little wonky but May correct itself. I am pencilled in for transfer tomorrow but if they look as good tomorrow as they do today they will push that back to Monday. Very happy with everything so far.

@GCS34 Thank you, trying to keep thinking positive thoughts, but you just never know. Glad you managed to get some time out and that things are feeling better physically. Always happy to help, I always find other people's positive stories give me a little hope 😊

@Hopingforno2in2023 Wonderful news!!

Just had my day 3 call. The wonky one didn’t make it but the other four have improved in quality so going for transfer on Monday now.

Hi everyone,

even tho i was not that active around here thank you for being such great companions in this journey, i was always feeling more positive with all your stories!!

@Hopingforno2in2023 That's amazing, good luck for Monday, just a few days behind me!

@CB2805 This is wonderful news, congratulations!! Twins, wow, did you transfer one or two embryos? When is your first scan?

@kirstysmbc hi:) second beta Monday and them doctor will let me know for ultrasound. Cant wait🤞

Congratulations @CB2805!

Congratulations @CB2805 !!!!!!! Such wonderful news. You must be over the moon. When does your clinic normally do the first scan?

@Hopingforno2in2023 great news about the 4 that are progressing nicely. I've got everything crossed for the transfer on Monday 🤞🏻🤞🏻

How are you feeling @kirstysmbc ? I know what you mean - it's soooo hard not to test 😅 when do you think you're likely to start testing?

I am glad the pain and bleeding have calmed down now @GCS34 , when are you off on holiday? We hope you're feeling as ok as can be xx

@Hopingforno2in2023 thank you, wishing all the best for monday 🩵

@Jellyfish1956 thank you so much so over excited tbh🤭 usually couple of weeks after confirmed second beta so finger crossed time will fly by🤞🫶🏻

@kirstysmbc also just realized transfer 2 embryos. Are u on your 2ww? When is otd? I got fingers and toes crossed for you🩷

Hi ladies I didn’t even see there was another September thread ! We had our FET Tuesday struggling with 2WW having a lot of cramping and not feeling very optimistic now I’ve had my transfer it’s only intensified my desperation for this to work

@CB2805 How exciting, let us know how you get on on Monday. Yes, had my transfer on Thursday, OTD not until 22nd November.

@Jellyfish1956 Thank you! I have had positives at 5dp5dt on all three transfers, which will be Tuesday. I'm feeling fine, no symptoms at all, not even any cramping. How are you getting on?

@Chickencrazy3356 Congrats on your transfer, when is your otd? At such an early stage, I think any symptoms are only due to meds, so I wouldn't worry too much. Did you transfer one or two?

@kirstysmbc not long to go🤞hope 2ww its not driving you crazy, as i certainly did go mad

I'm doing ok thanks @kirstysmbc but currently living in a constant state of anxiety 😅
Had a scan at 7+1 and the embryo was measuring at 7+2 and had a strong heartbeat, so that's good. Just praying it all carries on ok.

If it helps, I didn't have any symptoms until the day before my OTD, and I had what I thought was period pain xx

@Jellyfish1956 congrats for your good scan, strong heartbeat is an amazing start for healthy pregnancy🩵
have you experienced any cramps/little twinges at all? Im driving myself crazy here😭

@CB2805 Thank you, I will probably test on Tuesday anyway, then drive myself crazy with POAS every day to see if it turns positive / gets darker...

@Jellyfish1956 it's just one anxious wait after another with IVF! With my daughter, I had scans at 7, 8, 10, 12 and 15 weeks due to the anxiety after a missed miscarriage. After that between midwife checking heartbeat and starting to feel movement I started to relax a little! I've had no symptoms and some symptoms in all three pregnancies, with seemingly no correlation to outcome... It's so hard!

@kirstysmbc i know the addiction of testing🤭i still keep testing daily, anxiety at its finest!

Amazing news @Jellyfish1956!

I have a blastocyst to transfer! The other three are still growing so will be kept until day 6. One she said is very close so I am hoping I will have at least one to freeze also.

@Hopingforno2in2023 yayyyyyy!!!!! What a great way to start a Monday. Such good news. What time is your transfer?

@kirstysmbc I think I'm going to follow your lead and go for another scan! I'm so sorry about your missed miscarriage. Are you still going to test tomorrow?

@CB2805 thank you 🩵 I have had so many cramps! They were/are quite painful and it worries me every time it happens! Are you having them too?

@Hopingforno2in2023 Really great news. What time is your transfer?

Transfer is 13:30 :) trying to distract myself with a new book but failing 😂
