3dp5dt today. Anyone else in the same boat? 💙

[River30]

Hello, I'm 3dp5dt today and thought it would be nice to chat to anyone going through the same. This is my third FET after two failed medicated cycles, doing a modified natural this time. I'm definitely an early tester and have tested out my trigger as I didnt want to have doubt in my mind as to whether I was seeing a bfp or trigger. I got my first negative since the trigger this morning. Fingers crossed!

I'd love to hear how others are going x

@cleggrickman he makes a good point! Just try and keep your mind busy until your official test date! Keeping everything crossed for you.

@Copenhagener im on 3 😒 to be honest i had that feeling from 2dp5dt up until about 5/6dp5dt....seems to have subsided a bit.

I am literally getting so so anxious 😬😬

@2022TTCBaby1 im feeling really anxious today as well and now actually wishing I was at work as maybe I would get more distractions 🤣 might need to stick some Netflix on … I just wish I could the more chill about this process? Is there a way to be chill? 🙈

@Ellenn snap!! Getting flutters thinking about it lol trying not to cave in and test early

I’m out :(

Just started properly bleeding. 6 days post transfer and bright red blood, lots of clots, and enough to wear a sanitary towel. Despite 8 days of progesterone pessaries twice a day.

I’m really shocked as everyone - including the nurse today - said it wasn’t possible to have my period 6 days after transfer. It can’t be implantation bleeding when it’s filled with clots, so I truly have no idea why this is happening now.

@Copenhagener oh I’m so sorry to hear this 😢😢😢 how gutting xxx

@Copenhagener ah im so sorry to hear this xxx

Have you mentioned this to your clinic?

Spoke to the department today, and they said I still need to go in for a blood test to check my hormones next week. They’ll also do a review and amend my protocol if necessary for my FET.

I have no doubt it’s my period now though, even though they say it might not be. It’s heavy bleeding and clots galore, so 😅

@Copenhagener my clinic did say bleeding may happen but will still need to test.

I am getting AF cramps again today 😫 scaring me!

@Ellenn how are you feeling?

Hi ladies, the urge to test is unbearable! I sympathise and say do what your gut tells you!

I have a bit of an odd question though and was hoping you can help me get some clarity!

I was tracking my ovulation during January via Clear Blue and i saw 9 high fertility days in a row (flashing smily face). I went past when i would normally ovulate and was still seeing the flashing face so stopped tracking as i thought maybe i wasn't going to ovulate this month (not usual for me but i had a failed IVF cycle in Dec so thought body is getting back to normal). My period was due a week ago but hasn't come. This morning i tested on a FRER (which is 6 months out of date 🤦🏽‍♀️), and i have got a very faint line.
Could this be because I haven't ovulated or could I actually be pregnant. I haven't tested again as I have run out of tests and can't get hold of any until later today but its really bugging me!!
Any ideas?

@2022TTCBaby1 yeh feeling much the same, occasionally have cramps? Not been able to drink my coffee the last few mornings either 🤷‍♀️ thankfully I had a busy in work (and still am ha!) so at least in meant time passed fast! I’m hoping I don’t cave in tomorrow and I can hold out till Sunday 💪

how are you doing? Have you found anything to help with anxiety? I’m up for any suggestions 🤣

@Cyg79 sounds hopeful! Would maybe try again with an in date test to be sure 😊 usually once you get high ovulation result there isn’t much point continuing to test after that (my hormones stay high sometimes too!) it gets a bit confusing!

@Ellenn thanks, i have gone and brought more tests but scared to do it now so will wait for the morning. Thanks for your input and good luck 😘

@Cyg79 good luck 🍀

@Ellenn did the rest of your day go quickly? I worked from home today and had busy evening so was good for me!

Weekend will fly by then its test day 😬😬 have you got a busy day tomorrow? Only 1 day left for you 🫶🏽🙏🏽🤞🏽

@2022TTCBaby1 thank you and same to you 🙏🏼 😘

I also see a couple of you wondering about clinics abroad. I'm with a clinic in Athens, so if you want any advice, input or have questions let me know xx

Hey ladies,

Commiserated my failure with a few glasses of champagne last night (it’s probably the heaviest period I’ve had in years and I can see my lining in it, so I’m pretty sure I’m safe).

Wishing you all a speedy weekend without too much waiting anxiety - and that you’ll get what you want next week :)

@Copenhagener im sorry I hope the champagne was good - I actually have a bottle of bubbly earmarked that I’m going to drink too if this transfer doesn’t work! Have you got Frosties to use or will you need to do another transfer? X

@2022TTCBaby1 I was absolutely knackered yesterday so glad it’s the weekend! I’ve got a few things on today so hopefully I hold off, I will probably end up doing it at 4.30am or something. Feel a bit yucky this morning not sure if that’s related or i ate a dodgey Chinese last night 🤣 any more symptoms for you?

@Copenhagener sorry to hear, good to treat yourself.

I tested this morning on a Clear Blue and it was neg so i guess that answers my question.

Good luck everyone x

@Copenhagener sorry to hear this! Enjoy that glass...or maybe bottle!

@Cyg79 sorry to hear this also

@Ellenn hows the keeping busy? Not long till test day for you! No more symptoms for me but still have slight heavy feeling as if periods trying to come! Not long till I find out! How about you? Anymore symptoms? Still icky? Or was it the chinese? Haha

@2022TTCBaby1 eek I know getting nervous 😬 don’t feel as bad as this morning although could be better 🤷‍♀️ are you just going to wait for your blood test or do a urine test too? Think I’m going to try and binge on tv to pass the time tonight!

@Cyg79 sorry to hear, clear blue tests aren’t as sensitive as other tests though so might be worth using a red dye test?

It is getting close! I am bricking it too!! Keeping everything crossed for you! I am just going to hold out now i think. Getting more period like cramps so i think im going to have some sad news!

Let us know how you get on in the morning

@2022TTCBaby1 nooo cramping isn’t a bad thing as I had it with all my last transfers which implanted. Hopefully it’s good sign of embryo just getting comfy 🤞I will let you know either way …

I an super nervous about it!!

Let me know! Good luck 🍀

@2022TTCBaby1 so I got a positive! Was quite worried as initially seemed light though now it’s dried it looks darker? Did it at 4.30am and couldn’t get back to sleep 🙈 I’m going to send my medichecks beta tomorrow in the post and hope I get ok levels 🤞

honestly I’ve gone from anxious to testing to now anxious that’s levels will be too low and it won’t be viable 🤦‍♀️ argh

@Ellenn YAAY congratulations! How long does it take for the beta to come back?

I am getting super nervous now. Very very scared!!!

@2022TTCBaby1 i think if I post it tomorrow morning I won’t get results back till Wednesday!

I really hope you get a positive too 🤞 weirdly I don’t feel excited yet I think I’m just worried still got quite a bit of time for things to go wrong ….

Will you get your results tomorrow?

@Ellenn Congratulations, that's fantastic and that looks like a pretty solid line, so I don't think you have anything to worry about ❤️
