Cant remember which girls who have already got their result wanted to leave - so have added the majority just in case! ☺️

@HopefulllHolly There is also the high percentage of pregnancy that are completely fine and healthy .. but I get it it’s easy to think the worst ..( I am the best at that !! 🙈 )if you haven’t had any bleeding ,Or strong crampy feelings am sure you will be fine .. with my miscarriages i felt cramps quite continuously. So I have every faith this will be your time! 🥰💖

@hopefullsosbry Thank you, that helps a lot! I’ve not had any cramping or bleeding whatsoever! I find the lack of cramps weird. I’m more worried about blighted ovum or a missed miscarriage where I’ve not bled because of the progesterone. Honestly your mind goes to horrible places in this process! 😫

@positivepetal I would defo chase the clinic for an earlier appointment. I asked for one the day after my test day on my last failed cycle as I was desperate to get moving with next steps.

@hopefullsosbry I think it’s so unlikely that you can read in to symptoms at this stage to know if it is implantation or pregnancy. Obviously we’ll all over analyse everything but truth is we don’t really know what’s happening is there unless something really obvious happens. Not long now, you will have a good idea in the next day or two if that line doesn’t fade. Fingers crossed 🤞

I am 4+4 today. I’ve not got any symptoms at all 🤷‍♀️ and I stopped testing after my otd as it’ll cause me far more worry to keep testing. My clinic will do a scan on the 19th June, but I plan to get an early scan next week as 15 days away feels like too long to wait for some reassurance.

Ooh aa soo excited now! I had my transfer today and finally got some info on our embryos too!
10 eggs retrieved, 6 mature and 5 fertilised. They transferred a fresh day 5 3BA, they called it "pretty" 😍Also still monitoring 2 that are a bit slower, if they keep growing and don't degrade they'll freeze them tomorrow. Please stick pretty one, I really do not want to do another EC.

Hey just thght I'd join as had my transfer Monday! Had 13 eggs and only 1 fertilised but made it to day 5. Is just a rollercoaster IVF this is my 2nd cycle iv never had any embryos to freeze is tough on the body and head! My testing date is 13th I don't think I'll test early as wouldn't want get hopes up if false negative.
I'm off work but finding the progesterone pessaries making me feel v.tired!

I Am sure your symptoms are just coming and going? It will be super worrying when they disappear, but am sure all will be fine .. did you have many symptoms until now ? What day did your symptoms first start ?

yes I will just be testing every day hoping the line will come back and get darker 🤞🏽

@hopefullsosbry I don’t really think I’ve had any symptoms at all tbh. They’ve not come and go, I just haven’t had any.
I am really tired, but that’s also because I’m struggling with sleep at the moment. I don’t feel sick and my boobs aren’t sore. I had more symptoms last cycle when I wasn’t pregnant but was taking progesterone!
I mean I defo have pregnancy hormones in my body as I’ve had strong positive results on HCG pregnancy tests, and we all know very well that we have progesterone in us, lol! So not sure why they’re not causing me any symptoms.

@AnnieStar12 Hmm .. some people just don’t get any symptoms.. a thread I was on on my last FET last year .. a woman had zero symptoms and she went on to have a live birth .. she was so worried throughout pregnancy as she had had loses before but every scan was perfect and she never had much symptoms.. 🤷🏼‍♀️ everyone one is different and every pregnancy is different for the same person I guess so lest there is no significant change to what you have been feeling so all will be good I guess 🥰

@AnnieStar12 Definitely not a worry to not have symptoms when only 4+4, most people not going through IVF wouldn’t even know they were going pregnant by now so I think that’s normal. I think most people start having symptoms after 6 weeks anyway from what I’ve read. So definitely wouldn’t worry on that! 🙂

@HopefulllHolly I'm sure everything is fine for you but good luck for the scan on Thursday and keep us posted.

@AnnieStar12 - I also read about others not getting any symptoms and your lines are strong - just stay positive !

@BakinABaby all the best and hope you have a pretty sticky one!

How’s all the TWWs today? ☺️

Hey all! Just updating on my TWW...it's looooooooong. Feels like the days are going so slowly!! Due to test a week today (12th) and not testing early as I just want to wait until then. Had intermittent cramps over the past few days, feel very tired, woke up feeling a bit bunged up this morning but no other symptoms really. Got back to work this week (mainly from home) and the distraction has helped pass time. But this wait is as agonising as they say!! Hope everyone else is doing okay! 🙏🏻💜💕

@DogMummy87 Well done for staying strong! Work will definitely help the time to go faster. And early bed times if you are tired. Keeping my fingers crossed for you ☺️

@RunningOnHope How are you doing?

evening all 👋🏻 Update on day 5, out of the 4 fertilised we have one definite embryo and that was frozen today. Graded A-.

Another which is expected to be frozen tomorrow. The other two are showing signs of progressing but a few days behind so they said not to expect they’ll be frozen.

Just feeling grateful to have something to freeze!

I keep coming back to our last round being textbook with 5 great embryos but no baby. Maybe a duff cycle will get us a baby x

Great news!! Congratulations! So happy for you! 🤩🥰

Hey 👋 I'm also on TWW and my test day is 13th I have no symptoms just tiredness but dunno if thats the progesterone?

@HelloJillll congrats on getting one top quality blast! That’s all you need 🤞

Ah we are very close - and yeah I think the progesterone does cause tiredness. Any pregnancy symptoms seem to be similar to symptoms from taking progesterone. So frustrating!!! Hard not to symptom spot despite that I have found. Hope you are doing okay and not finding the waiting too hard! 🙏🏻💜

Thanks ladies!

Good luck to those in their 2WW. The progesterone can really mess with your head. Symptoms can mean everything or nothing. We’re such a resiliant bunch!

Unfortunately my two embryos that were gunning to be frozen didn't make it so all bets are on the one in me right now. 2dpt, I'm hoping to hold out til Sunday when 5dpt for first test.

How's everyone else doing? Is anyone still in the TWW here?

Sorry to hear that @BakinABaby, everything crossed for this one for you!

Great to hear @HelloJillll , will you get any further news today?

Stay strong and good luck @DogMummy87 and @Snowdrop131! Thinking of you over the next week.

We have finally reached OTD with a blazing positive line so excited to phone the clinic with good news for the first time!

@RunningOnHope Congratulations! So amazing! 🤩 🥰😍

I’ve started a group for people waiting for their first scan if you’d like some
company in what feels like the longest wait ever!!!

negative for me this morning .. I kinda knew it anyways .. there's still a really faint line and trigger should prob be gone .. but I feel
something tried to implant but then came away as seems to be the pattern with me .. line looks slightly darker 3dpt and then fades again ? So strange. The only explanation for failed implementation each time can be abnormal chromosomes as we have tested for everything else .. between my age (old duff eggs) and my partners DNA frag it’s just slim pickings for us and I don’t think it will ever work .. we are thinking to try another EC with PGT testing then maybes a surrogate? But we still have the other two frozen to put in also first ..just can’t see it working though this was 6th transfer 😵‍💫

Congratulations 💖

Sorry you didn’t have anything to freeze, fingers crossed this one works that’s nice and cosy inside already. 🤞🏽💖
