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😀

Ah thank you @GoldenRetriever1 & @kirstysmbc you both seem like lovely ladies.

This is our 3rd transfer, we have a 2 yo boy and we had a mmc at 8 weeks last September. We have one wee frozen babe in the freezer. I am still holding on that maybe day 10 will come good or OTD on Monday, some stories online would scare you but others fill you with some faith. But false hope is worse that just accepting!

I am praying and sending love for you both and everyone else on the threads! We really are a lot stronger than we think! If anything we have great resilience, although I don't have resilience when it comes to crying LOL

@Ohwow2022 It seems to me that there’s still hope for you there.. even though I agree that false hope is the most horrible thing ever. Sometimes I just think it’s easier on my emotions to always expect the worst.. but that’s just me 😂 Absolutely don’t count yourself fully out until OTD. I am the exact same with crying - always balling my eyes out over this, even when I don’t know the result. It’s this unrelenting sadness and anger around the injustice of it. We’ll be so strong at the end of this - and what a fabulous role model you are for your lovely son. Anyway, I could waffle on all day. I’m going to continue sitting in fear, ignoring the pregnancy tests until OTD! Lots of love to you x

@GoldenRetriever1 I am the same, would chat away all day, I had to walk away from the computer earlier but now kind of in work mode for a few hours anyway!
Ah he is a wee dote and so affectionate, but a bull when he wants to be! lol
I am thinking of you, try and have a nice weekend! xx

Thank you @Ohwow2022 - I hope you’re able to find some light this weekend too. Crack on with lots of work to keep you nice and distracted 😄💪🏼

@Ohwow2022 Thinking of you ❤️ tested again this morning and as I thought negative.

ah @Rainbowsunshine81 I'm sorry. My clinic phoned me and told me to keep going with meds and they have specifically calculated the OTD for a reason.
I hope you are ok? plan something nice over the weekend, either AF will come for me or ill hit Monday and pray for that line!

@Ohwow2022 ❤️ definitely keep up with the meds until otd. Going to the park with my son, mum and mum in law. I really hope you get your positive on Monday 🙏

@Rainbowsunshine81 I'm so sorry 😢 Do whatever you need to do for you these coming days and be gentle with yourself 💕

@SETTC87 Thank you ❤️ just taking some time out, wait for our follow up and take it from there. ❤️

@Ohwow2022 I am so sorry to hear this. This can be such a horrible journey and it feels so unfair that anyone needs to go through this pain. Hope you’ve got a nice weekend planned. Take care of yourself and treat yourself super well.

@GoldenRetriever1 awwh the wait is just killing me. My first response test have just arrived today and now i'm much more anxious than before. I can't face a negative test either. We've been trying for almost 5 years and i've never experienced the feeling of having a BFP. Everytime the disappointment is greater than the last. I'm just trying to be so hopeful and keep my faith.

I know what you mean about watching your body and feeling every little symptom. I'm glad that your AF hasn't shown up yet though. I've got irregular periods so I can't really rely on AF not showing up as a sign as i can got months without a sign. You only have the weekend to get through and then you can test xx

@Ohwow2022, awww, i'm really sorry to here this for you. Please keep testing till OTD just like everyone has said. I really hope it's one of those with low level hcg to pick up too soon and then all will be well on OTD. This journey is really trying and testing in every way. (((bighugs))).

@Rainbowsunshine81 so sorry to hear about your negative test as well. Hope you are able to get back to it soon once you feel mentally ready. Please look after yourself 🌺

@BebeBelle I have everything crossed for you. After all these years, you certainly are owed this miracle. It’s such an awful thing to live with - I often joke to my husband and say that I need a brain transplant, because living with the anger, jealousy and sadness all the time is pretty unbearable. I just lie in bed at night feeling sad, every day.

Unfortunately, I think I’m out. Haven’t tested yet, but stronger AF cramps have arrived today and the start of spotting. I wish life was different, for all of us going through this. Sending love x

@BebeBelle Thank you ❤️ going to have a follow-up in about 2 weeks and go from there. I think if we did do this again I wouldn't want to leave it too long, but I know a few months break might be good to do. Thank you 💐

BFN for me this morning. So heart breaking especially after pumping myself with so much medication. I will try again on Monday but I don't think it's gonna change. Best wishes to you all ladies. @Rainbowsunshine81 hope your follow up goes well. Make the most of the few months off.

@BebeBelle know exactly how you feel ❤️ thank you, think a little bit of time off will be good.

@BebeBelle @Rainbowsunshine81 I'm so sorry to hear about your negative tests.Sending strength to you both. Some time away might be a nice idea @Rainbowsunshine81

I had a blood test yesterday and the results were low, and today my tests are noticeably lighter. I'm meant to do another blood test on Monday, but will see what happens with tests before making a final decision. It's my second chemical with young donors - not sure whether to go again or just give up...

@kirstysmbc Thank you ❤️ going away in August so something to look forward to.

Sorry to hear what's happening ❤️ such a hard decision and definitely not a easy one to make.

Ughhhhhh waiting is torture

Out of interest can I check who's around my cycle? I'm currently 3 days post 5 day transfer here . Anyone else similar?

@DauntedAF Helloo.. I’m a little bit ahead at 11dp5dt.. still haven’t tested. I am in a “pregnant until proven otherwise” bubble right now. My OTD is Tuesday. Had a bit of an AF false alarm this week.. thinking it was starting, but it hasn’t. I’m on 2 x Cyclogest, which I’m assuming is keeping my period away. My fresh cycle, I started bleeding 7dpt. Feeling sick with nerves. How are you doing?

@BebeBelle Sending love to you. I still haven’t tested.. I can’t face it. Hope you’re okay x

@DauntedAF I am 6dp6dt test day 10th. Its so terrifying but equally I don't want to test early! I have progesterone injections as well which are making me feel so tired and I've not been doing anything out of the ordinary 😅

Ah I'm finding this one tricky tbh. It's our last embryo. I've been off this week which is brill in someways but in other ways it's given me so much time to think

Ive never normally tested early but think I'll likely cave this time around day 6/7

@DauntedAF I think for me, seeing a negative test early would make me spiral. But then.. if it’s negative at OTD, I’m going to spiral. There’s no best way is there? 🤦🏼‍♀️

For a while, I’ve wished that I had a “normal”
job to keep me occupied during these long waiting times. For a good distraction. I’m self employed with a creative business, which has absolutely sunk over the last few months.. so I have far too much time to fret (and no ££ 😅).

Holding hope for you and your embryo ❤️❤️
