FET May 2024

[StillTTC7]

Welcome to anyone who wants to join me for their May FET! My transfer date is actually 30/04 but the TWW and test day will be in May so thought I’d see if I could find some buddies! The April thread is very full so thought it would be good to start fresh!

Look forward to chatting to you all through the madness and hearing your insights😀

@DauntedAF Yes, I feel the same very anxious to get on with it. I really hope my little embryo thaws okay. I’m dreading the ttww. I keep telling myself I won’t test too, but I probably will.
I’m driving myself insane, I keep thinking I should have pushed to get progesterone. The reason I was advised not to take it as I’m on a natural cycle with our factor being male only.

I'm so deflated this today, cramps feel 100% more like period on route! 😞 and boob's not as sore!!! Omg roll on Monday.

I agree, it’s really hard. There are some people I’ve drifted apart from too. I am so happy for my friends but I do find it sometimes so hard to see everyone else finding it so easy. But I’m sure they have their own troubles! I think most people going through infertility have those bad thoughts sometimes so don’t beat yourself up about it. CBT should really help though, I’ve done it before for anxiety. But clearly I’m not putting it in practice here :P

I can’t tell when I can trust my body anymore which annoys me!

I’ve always had cramps in my TWW (whether positive or negative) so hopefully not a bad sign! :)

Thank you 😊 not out yet unless I test early. I'm 6dp5dt.

@Ohwow2022 Me too.. AF would usually be today/tomorrow for me and the cramps have arrived. Feeling really sad. Really hope it’s not the case for us x

@GoldenRetriever1 I really hope it's good news for us all 🙏 ❤️ this is torture !!!

I started with some bleeding last night guys :( 19DP5DT

@Infert1lel1fe So sorry to hear this - you’ll already know that it can be very normal.. but all you can do is stay calm and let your body do its thing. You are strong. Hoping and praying for you 🙏🏼⭐️

7dp5dt for me and AF still feels like it’s about to arrive (due today). Last night my tummy felt like it does around ovulation - sharp ovary pains, bloated, dull aching cramps, just uncomfortable. Hope is mostly gone now.. feel like I need to plan the next steps.

@Infert1lel1fe How worrying. I know lots of women have bleeding and it's ok, but it's awful to see. Have you spoken to your clinic? Fingers crossed all is ok 👌

@GoldenRetriever1 until AF arrived you're not out. Hopefully it's implantation or the meds.

My tests are not getting any darker so I think I'm having another chemical. I don't know if I can go through this again. Might be time to just accept how lucky I am to have my daughter and move on.

I've done a test this morning and I'm pretty certain it's negative.

@kirstysmbc As always, all we can do is try to continue living with hope.. for the now and the future. Sending love to you. My psychologist says to me “you can either give up entirely and accept or you fight with everything you’ve got and accept”. And to you too @Rainbowsunshine81 - love and hope to you. X

@GoldenRetriever1 Thank you. X

Sending love and hope to all!! I think today was OTD for a few of you as well 🤍

Ah girls! This is torture. We'd counselling this morning and our counsellor told us to get off call and go for a walk. Best thing for us.

I'm the same @GoldenRetriever1 feeling like AF is imminent.
@Infert1lel1fe I hope you're OK, and it's just the meds.

@kirstysmbc are you using the same tests?
@Rainbowsunshine81 how many days are you? I'm 7dp5dt. I've prob asked you that before and I think we're the same.

@Ohwow2022 Absolute torture, I agree. I’m pretty sure the progesterone is just holding back the period that my body is trying to have. Had such a happy and hopeful weekend.. and for emotions to flip on its head.. this feels awful.
Be that as it may, like many say, we aren’t out until AF arrives. X

@Ohwow2022 I had my transfer on the 17th of May, not quite sure if I go by the next day and count that as day 1. I've got to repeat the test in two days time as the levels might not have spiked yet.

@Ohwow2022 I'm 12 days past transfer.

Hello everyone, I am new to this journey (only just visiting clinics) but have been quietly reading your thread and I just wanted to offer some hope.

I am lucky enough to have my 6 year-old son and, during the TWW, I had a lot of cramping. My son’s dad told me I was pregnant and instead, I was just anticipating AF to arrive any second and thought he was talking nonsense.

You’re not out yet. Wishing you the best of luck on your journeys. 🍀

@Wishing4Snow Thank you for your story and reassuring words. I’ve totally convinced myself that my body is trying to start a period.. intermittent dull sensations throughout the day, just like usual. Really really hope it’s not though. Still got 5 days until my test date! 🫣😱

Thanks @GoldenRetriever1 I think that's really sensible advice. Just need to decide which!

@Ohwow2022 Yes, I've done the same two tests each day. I've got photos of all my tests from my miscarriages and my daughter's pregnancy, and this cycle looks very like my last miscarriage 😞

@Rainbowsunshine81 I'm sorry you've had a negative test. Sending love and strength

@GoldenRetriever1 I have everything crossed for you. I can only imagine how tough it is (as I said, I have not started treatment just yet). Don’t lose hope yet x

@Wishing4Snow Thank you - and sending you all the best for your onward journey. I can’t speak for every person of course - but I’ve surprised myself with just how much resilience and strength one conjures up with this. I don’t know when/how I will get out the other side, but I’m trying to see the gratitude and love in the process.

@kirstysmbc Thank you ❤️
