Hi,
Is anyone else getting ready for FET in August? I've just started oestrogen got my 1st scan booked for next Wednesday.
This is our first transfer so lots of mixed emotions but trying to remain really positive.

Morning All,

I'm getting quite anxious now. OTD isn't until Thursday but I tested with Ultra early response tests yesterday and this morning and I'm not seeing anything at all. I can see in the July FET thread that people were getting positives from 5DPT. I genuinely feel like it's worked because of the cramps, nausea and I think I had some very light spotting yesterday. I'm also VERY emotional, crying at the smallest things or sometimes for no reason at all. Am I just wishful thinking here?

Ginie2024 · 02/09/2024 12:14

You're very brave to have tested early, personally I'm way too emotional to start adding this new data into the mix! You might not be just wishful thinking but if I were you I would try and forget the testing and bear with til Thursday. Every body and pregnancy is different so I think even doctors couldn't tell you unfortunately 😔 (I know, it's all very easy to say!)

llamajohn · 02/09/2024 14:20

I have such bad feelings about this. Absolutely convinced my period is coming 😞

Gnatalie16 · 02/09/2024 14:39

Hi All,
Little bit more positive today. Had my call from the clinic this morning, my beta test came back 5858 which they said is really good for this time where I am, they said I am about 5 1/2 weeks from that but I have it as 6 but who knows. I've had very small spotting but cramps quite a bit and nausea. Learning the nausea can be stopped by little snacks.

To those worrying try not to worry, tests sometimes really don't show until the day and we should really listen to them in not testing before (I def didn't listen and tested very early!) official test day. Everyone is different and no pregnancy is the same to any other. Hoping you all get those positive results this week x

That's really positive news, all the best for a positive journey ahead for you.

I'm going to try not to test and wait until my bloods on Thursday. I just desperately want to see those two lines 😢

AnonS · 02/09/2024 16:39

I think my period is about to start. Getting more dark brown spotting, I cant stop eating and feeling very irritated with everyone. I always get like this a few days before it starts. I am putting myself out of misery tonight and testing. Then that can prepare me for official test day in 2 days.

Ginie2024 · 02/09/2024 18:25

Great news @Gnatalie16 , so happy for you!! Hopefully we all get towards more positive results and away from this uncertainty 💪
Let's not forget the percentage of BFP after an FET...almost 70%, that's 7 out of 10 of us that will get a positive, we can do it!! ❤️

positivepetal · 02/09/2024 20:07

@Gnatalie16 - that's great news! Keeping fingers crossed for you!

I didn't make it test date last time and bled at 10 day post transfer. I had so many symptoms last time but this time I've got nothing. Still being hopeful but also not sure...

Loute02 · 03/09/2024 07:56

Great news @Gnatalie16 ! Hope everything will go well from now on.
@AnonS I wouldnt test in the evening but first thing in the morning instead! Hope you have your positive.
@Ginie2024

Loute02 · 03/09/2024 07:58

Sorry posted too soon!
Hope everyone in the 2ww is holding on! Not long to wait now 💪
I'm a bit worried as I ran out of Lubion and the pharmacy did not call me to arrange delivery... Also I fell asleep in the sofa yesterday and forgot to take my progynova pill 😔 scattered brain already

AnonS · 03/09/2024 09:14

@Loute02 I held out and got an early night instead. I slept badly Sunday and was just in a foul mood yesterday. 1 more sleep to go. Where do you source you lubion from and how much do you pay for it?

Loute02 · 03/09/2024 09:28

Yey well done @AnonS ! You're so close 😊
I get my Lubion from Pharmacy2u. It is £90 for 2 weeks but I pay a whooping £60 for delivery 😭
I spoke to my clinic and they said I would be fine to not have it for 1 day, I'll replace it with the utrogestan pessaries.

AnonS · 03/09/2024 09:56

@Loute02 That's an insane amount. The hospital I go to luckily stock it in the Lloyds pharmacy, I assume I can continue getting it from there, if need be. Just went to the bathroom and now had a very tiny amount of bright red blood, I don't think that is a good sign.

Rainbowsunshine81 · 03/09/2024 13:17

Hi, would it be OK if I joined?
Had my third fet on the 31st of August, this is my last transfer. Test date is the 12th of September. X

Ginie2024 · 03/09/2024 23:24

Welcome @Rainbowsunshine81 ! How are you feeling? Will you resist the temptation to test early?
It's so hard to wait that long, not sure I'll make it to Sunday 🙄

AnonS · 04/09/2024 08:52

BFN for me again, as expected. All the best to those who are still in the wait.

Rainbowsunshine81 · 04/09/2024 09:12

@Ginie2024 thank you 🙂 I've noticed backache since around sun/Mon which I know could be a number of things, trying not to think about it too much, but this is what I seem to have before a period, but then it could be I'm on progynova, progesterone and lubion.
Yes, definitely not going to test early, always get apprehensive about doing a test. When is your test date?

Loute02 · 04/09/2024 09:39

@AnonS so sorry to hear this 😔 hope you take some time to take care of yourself. Wishing you all the best in your journey.

llamajohn · 04/09/2024 13:12

I've been super weepy on all this progesterone

Coffeeandbannans · 04/09/2024 15:11

Same.

I just keep thinking it must be a sign of pregnancy. It's my OTD tomorrow and I'm so sick / excited. Bloods being first thing and I'll have had the results by this time tomorrow.

@AnonS So sorry to hear this. Sending love.

Ginie2024 · 04/09/2024 23:06

I am so sorry @AnonS , it really is sht 😔

@Coffeeandbannans you are doing bloods without giving them the test result? For me I have to test at home and I'll do bloods only if I get a BFP. Good luck for tomorrow, not long left now

positivepetal · 05/09/2024 11:22

@AnonS sorry to hear! Sending you lots of love!

@Ginie2024 mine is also BFP at home first and then only blood test!

When is your OTD? Mine is Monday but I might do it Sunday, so that me and my husband can be together!

Ginie2024 · 05/09/2024 14:23

I should be testing on Sunday too, that's my 10 days...but I've had period pains this morning so I'm trying to occupy my mind and do anything that isn't related to all this. I think there are a couple other ladies testing on Sunday too. It'd be much nicer to do it with your husband!

Zypig · 07/09/2024 09:32

@Kp121 how are you getting on? Are you hanging in there?
