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?

Hi all, so I did two tests this morning and I got BFPs. So that feels like a relief! Will avoid testing now until OTD on Monday and let my clinic know.

I don't know if it's a bit in the lighter side for 11dpt. Still feel anxious that it could end up as a chemical, but will see how things go over the weekend.

@EvaA17 congrats, I think those are good lines for 11dpt! I think mine are about the same if not a bit lighter than that today. I've just had another blood test done, so will see later on if things are progressing the way they should be...

@kirstysmbc ahh thanks, I realised I uploaded the most blurriest picture I took this morning haha. Here is a clearer one.

My clinic don't offer the blood test as I am under NHS but I am thinking to book myself into a local private clinic and get a blood test done. Good luck for your test today!

Ahh keeps uploading the blurry one for some reason. Ignore the last post - can't seem to delete it or edit the attachment.

@EvaA17 I think your lines are pretty good. I'm one day ahead at 12dpt and the bottom line was today. The one above was mine at 11 yesterday.
Also got a 2-3 weeks on a digital today. I'll be having a blood test to confirm this afternoon.

Hey all! I am so happy to see so many positives!

I am getting quite anxious with the wait and not 'noticing' any symptoms. I did do a test yday which was day 2 and didn't expect to see anything but will continue testing once a day in the morning to see any progress. I didn't think I would get this worked up in this TWW

@EvaA17 & @SideEyeMoon congrats! super exciting for both of you 💕

@LeoStar24 i would try to distract yourself and if you can wait until 5dpt that’s the first time your likely to get any sign of a positive result. It’s so hard though isn’t it!? Time just drags 😂

I did a test this morning with FMU but couldn’t see any line at all (now wondering if maybe it was an evap line yesterday)

Congratulations @SideEyeMoon and@EvaA17! I’m really happy for you both, and wishing you beautiful pregnancies ahead!

@LeoStar24 the wait is torturous, and it’s so hard to think about anything else isn’t it. But I hope you’re able to distract yourself, try and fit in some nice plans so that the time isn’t spent purely worrying ❤️ and good luck!

@Indigopantha hey transfer buddy, I’m so sorry there was no line again this morning. I also got a bfn this morning on a clear blue ultra early test, feeling pretty heartbroken. It’s such an incredibly tough rollercoaster, sending you a big hug ❤️. Do you think you’ll try again? I’m going to try again but will push for more tests first 😔

@Sunnydaysahead1 I’m so sorry you got a BFN too this morning. I got so hopeful yesterday and bought some tests.. so I’m just going to test in the morning tmrw, Sunday and then last time on OTD. I feel really heart broken too 💔 😔 but not ready to give up.

We have 1 more round left and I want to go again. But I want to do everything I can to give the best chances. Looking at uterine microbioma and PGTA testing next time. I’ve ordered a uterine microbiome test from Daye, some antibiotics from Online dr and some uterine probiotics. I’m going to also book in for more acupuncture this time,

we didn’t have the PGT-A testing last time on either of our embryos. This time I will get it done so we know before transfer if embryo quality is effecting implantation. The other thing I might ask my clinic to do is check my window of receptivity to make sure we are getting the right time for transfer.

I’m going to take a few months to enjoy our wedding and the summer, then get some diagnostics and make a plan end of September. What will you do? Have you got any more rounds left? Are you going to take a break or try again for another round straight away? I’m going to trust that the timing just wasn’t right for us this time and try to believe that it will be next time! 🩷 at least I can drink champagne on my wedding day! 🥂

I am sorry @Indigopantha and @Sunnydaysahead1 . This is such a hard process. @Indigopantha it sounds like you have a good plan, and you have your weding to keep you busy. I did the Emma and Alice test and had antibiotics and oral probiotics, even though my test results were considered benign. I think the microbiome and genetic testing might be worth considering. I am not convinced by the ERA and there has even been some recent research showing it’s more harmful than helpful but of course reading stuff online and getting advice from an experienced doctor who knows your case is not the same.

I don’t plan to test now leading up to blood test tomorrow, and if that’s OK maybe once a week until I make it to scan stage.

@Indigopantha and@Sunnydaysahead1 I'm still holding out hope for you both.

@LeoStar24 i caved too and started testing. I tested yesterday at 3dp and was fully expecting the stark white result that I got... Then today I felt like at 4dpt some people see the faintest of lines so I had to tell my fiancé that I was testing (she's not up for it at all 🤣) and for today's test.... Not a dicky bird. Had a slight panicky moment convincing myself it's so early but still a bit gutted that it was sooooo negative. I think I'll be daily testing from here on out. (might not help that I'm not even sure if my tests are still in date 🤣🤣🤣)

@Faith2024 You must be excited, your blood test is tmrw! Good luck and we will be thinking of you.

@Becky105 I would just check to make sure your tests are in date 😉 yeah it’s really hard to stop, once you start testing.

@Sunnydaysahead1 @Indigopantha I'm sorry you both got BFNs today. I'll keep everything crossed it's a case of late implantation, but it's good to have a plan for next steps to focus on too.

@SideEyeMoon That's a great strong test. When do you get your blood test results?

@Becky105 4dpt is very early for a positive. I've only had one out of 6 bfp appear that early, my daughter I didn't get a positive until 5dpt. And that was a squinter on a frer! Def not out yet.

I just had my second test back and it's gone from 203 to 512 in just under 2 days. I'm going to stop testing now I think, and do a clear blue weeks next when it should have gone up to 3+ weeks.

@kirstysmbc thank you, I know it was super early so I'm not over thinking it too much. I think seeing all the bfp's on here is convincing me I might finally see one too. I'm taking @Indigopantha 's advice and getting some in-date tests.

I've organised a hag do for my best friend tomorrow. Including, a bottomless brunch, indoor golf, cocktail making, Kareoke and an adult ball pool... For me to complete hot, bloated and sober. Pray for me lads 🙏

@EvaA17 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations! Your lines look fabulous though understand it's hard not to worry at every step! SO happy for you having journeyed through this at similar times x

@Indigopantha and @Sunnydaysahead1 sorry to read about your BFNs but hoping the lines appear and get stronger - there's still hope. 🤍

@SideEyeMoon those are strong lines - congrats! Do you have blood tests booked?

@Becky105 fingers crossed for you! How many days post transfer are you now?

@kirstysmbc that's great news re your blood test! @Faith2024 how did your blood test go?

Thank you! 🥹 feels surreal doesn't it, from doing stims in May and then having FET couple of weeks apart.
How are you doing? I hope things are coming along nicely for you! When is the next scan booked? Xx

So I bought some new tests and got a clear blue sensitive one... There was an actual line! It's faint but it's there. A BFP. Oh dear I'm crying again 🤣😭🤣😭. This has slowed me getting ready for the hag do down no end. I can't believe it. I'm trying to think of it as PUPO but knowing I'm actually the first P rather than hoping.

@Becky105 this is fantastic news! I am praying for you that this sticks and your line gets stronger!!

I didn't test today, it's my birthday and I'm only 4dp5dt so I don't want to unnecessarily get all worked up! I think I will hold out until atleast Tuesday! 🙏🏼

Congratulations @Becky105 that definitely looks like a line! Fingers crossed!!

I had a blood test yesterday and what would be 12dp5dt and they rang this morning and the result was 330. Which she said was a good result at this stage. My clinic don't do a follow up second blood test so now I'm just waiting for my first scan which they will do in about 2.5 weeks. So now I'll continue my worrying in a different way until then. 😂

@Becky105 Congrats on your bfp! Hoping it gets stronger over the next few days 😊

@LeoStar24 happy birthday! And hopefully you'll get a lovely belated present on Tuesday!

@SideEyeMoon wonderful result! I think the wait to first scan is actually worse than the tww, hopefully it will pass quickly!

@Becky105 congratulations on your BFP! That is definitely a line there! Keeping fingers and toes crossed that it just keeps getting stronger! 🙌 😀

@SideEyeMoon I’m so happy for you! 🥹 you must be so excited for your scan!

@LeoStar24 Happy Birthday!! 🎂 have a great weekend and great idea to wait until next week to test.

@Becky105 this is great! Praying that it gets stronger for you 🤍

Happy birthday @LeoStar24 hope you have a lovely day!

@SideEyeMoon that's great, that's a good number.

So I booked myself in for a HCG beta test for this afternoon as my clinic don't offer them, and just simply ask for a pregnancy test which I know won't put my mind at ease. So I've gone and booked myself at a private clinic near me.

Thank you all for the wishes!! ❤️

@Indigopantha @Sunnydaysahead1 I'm really sorry to read about your negative tests. This process is such an emotional rollercoaster. Make sure to take some time out to focus on other things that bring you joy .....like a wedding (💕) or holiday?

To those with BFP, of which there seem to be many - I feel like I've lost track!? Huge congratulations, may those lines continue to darken!
