FET July 2024

[Hollielouise]

Starting a new thread for those now on a freeze all from May and any others x

Hope you're all feeling ok post EC. 💕
Has anyone had any idea of timescale when the withdrawal bleed will be and how many periods before the FET cycle?

@LeoStar24 i don't think I have any symptoms. I've felt a couple of little tiny twinges in my tummy but they only happen when I'm laying in bed wondering if anything is going on in there... So it makes me think I'm just tuning in to everyday twinges 😂🤔

What sort of symptoms are you spotting?

@Becky105 I was/am getting a bit worried with the lack of symptoms but just holding on to hope. Today I am feeling a bit nauseous but not a lot so I don't know if it's in my head!

Is this your first transfer?

My only symptoms up to now were some cramping in the first few days, which I think was prob progesterone related, and in the last day have started to notice a tiny bit of tender boobs. But the only cycle I got a bfn I had every symptom under the sun, so I wouldn't get too hung up on it!

@kirstysmbc how many post transfer are you now?

10dp5dt today 😊

@kirstysmbc when did you first test? I'm wondering maybe 5dp5dt

@LeoStar24 no it's my 4th transfer. In my last 3 symptoms varied, one I had none. One I had sore boobs and back and headaches and dizziness. The other I had smell, cramping and sore boobs... But all were negative. So I try not to read too much into symptoms.

@LeoStar24 I started at 3dpt in the evening and thought I could see the faintest line, but could just have been my imagination. There was a very faint line on both a frer and an easy at home on 4dpt. Good luck with your testing!

@Indigopantha I’m so sorry you’ve still got a BFN, I’m holding onto hope for you that there’s still a bit of time for it to change. But if not, focussing on your wedding and uterine microbiome sounds like a really good plan ❤️
I started taking probiotics in the run up to my transfer, I think it’s also something I’ll look into more if this one doesn’t work.

Congratulations to everyone still with BFPs, I’m so pleased for you all that it’s working, and it gives me hope for the future. And good luck to those who have recently transferred 🤞🏼

I’m 7dp5dt today and I’m just really lacking all hope, I just don’t feel like it’s worked, and I keep crying. I took a test just now as I felt like I just couldn’t bear to be in this limbo anymore and my test came out looking a bit odd.. it shows a BFN but also the control line is in a weird place… has anyone had this happen before? It’s the only test I have as it was left over from last time. Also it was probably quite diluted as I’ve drunk lots of water today 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Becky105 OTD Monday 5th. I haven’t booked for a blood test unless I’m testing positive on the Frer tests. Thankyou! 🤞🏼 I also read that testing from 5dpt was the most recommended day to start from. There is a great article on Reddit that explains.. Hcg takes 3 days to show from implantation. And so really the main factor is which day implantation happens on..it can be as late as day 7

@Mfiwife thankyou, it’s great to hear there is still hope. At least I’m prepared for a negative and then it would be an amazing suprise if we did get a positive! 🩷

@EvaA17 Good luck for Friday!

@Sunnydaysahead1 Looking at your test it does seem a bit odd, so I wouldn’t read too much into it. can you order some frer tests from Amazon next day delivery? And make sure it’s with FMU

I felt the same, waiting in limbo wasn’t really helping me and at least I now feel more prepared for a negative result and I can start to plan for the next round. It’s such a roller coaster of emotions, the hope and nerves and hormones! we’re all doing really great! 🩷

@LeoStar24 I wouldn’t worry too much about symptoms. I have had friends that were totally symptomless and pregnant, no sore boobs or tiredness or morning sickness, right the way through to almost third trimester. It’s different for everyone, so don’t panic x

@Indigopantha thank you for the reassurance! I just need to not work myself up over these two weeks! 😬

Hope you are doing ok

Ooo I've just come to the hairdresser and in the car I remembered another probably progesterone related symptom.... Totally constipated 🤣🤣🤣

haha same! @Becky105 but I'm not on progesterone! I am also weeing lots and am constantly thirsty. I've had cramps too from last night, doesn't feel like AF but like a burning and heavy sensation?! hoping that's normal. How did you get on with your digital test @Faith2024 ?

Exactly @Indigopantha I would prefer to be prepared for the worst with a positive being a bonus than not knowing. After my first FET I waited until 14dp5dt to test as that was OTD & convinced myself it was going to be bfp, was crushing after waiting the full two weeks when it was a stark bfn. Think that's why this time i've tested throughout to set my expectations! Keeping fingers crossed for you but know either way you will be ok and your time will come x

So I read online lots of bad reviews of the test I used.. it says early testing h but it’s not at all. Ordered first response and did a test.. not sure if I’m just seeing things.. but can anyone see a faint line??

I can definitely see a very very faint line… but it’s had to photograph. How likely to be an evap line? Was about 4 mins when I took this, last one about 5mins

@Indigopantha I can see it! Fingers crossed it gets darker over the next few days 😊

I see it too @Indigopantha praying it gets darker for you!! Xx

@Indigopantha I can see it too! Eeek I’ve got my fingers crossed for you! How much HCG did your previous tests measure and how much does this new one measure?

@Sunnydaysahead1 my other 2 tests were conceive plus, It detects up to 10 MIU of hCG and new one is First response Early Result and doesn’t say on their leaflet or website.

@Indigopantha I can see a second line! Praying it gets darker!!

I’m going to test again tmrw morning and see if it gets any darker! Fingers and toes crossed!! 🤞🏼 ✨

@Indigopantha I can see the faint line too, I hope it darkens for you 🙏.

@Mfiwife I tested late afternoon on the digital and it said 2-3 weeks. I will just wait for blood test now and keep being positive and hopeful.

Thanks all for the well wishes.

Congrats @Faith2024 on your BFPs! Have you got your digital tests yet?

Everyone else who is looking to test in the next few days, good luck! Hope it's all filled with positives.

Re the symptoms, I've just accepted that the symptoms differ so much from individual to individual and I know some people didn't have any symptoms at all. It's just so hard to know what is implantation symptoms and what is just menstrual symptoms. My head has felt so weird all day today. So think it's going to be an early night for me tonight.

@Sunnydaysahead1 that's really odd with what happened to the control line. Have you managed to get any other tests to try out and like @Indigopantha said maybe try a new test first thing in the morning tomorrow.

@Indigopantha I can definitely see a line. Hoping it gets stronger for you tomorrow!! Xx

Yay! @Faith2024 so pleased for you. I don’t have any bloods with my clinic so I’m just going to have to wait two weeks Sunday for a scan 🫣

@Mfiwife thanks, the blood test is just another way to test pregnancy, the scan is probably the bigger deal. I am doing a medicated cycle so the progesterone blood test is probably more important to me and if I need to adjust any of the other medication I am on.

@EvaA17 the digital cleablue test was reading 2-3 weeks. Good luck with your upcoming testing, let us know how it goes.
