IVF/ICSI/FET December 2024

[camelinastorm]

Any peeps having IVF/ICSI/FET in Dec.
I am due to start meds 1st Dec this will be my frozen transfer from my 2nd cycle in August have stocked up on beetroot and pomegranate juice, looking for any tips 🙏🏼

@Lil89 I'm so sorry to her that. I would call the clinic and ask them for their advice. Continue meds until they tell you stop. I have bled on 6dp5dt before and they've been unsuccessful cycles for me. I'd personally protect your heart but not make any decisions on anything until you speak to clinic.

@OrientalPinkLily I'm also sorry you've had a negative this morning.

@AMMxx the first was supposed to be today but I've cancelled it. My tests aren't developing as they should be and I have an awful feeling I'm having another chemical. I'm 9dp5dt today and really feel my tests should be much darker than they are. I don't have high hopes. I've kept the second apt and will see how my lines develop tomorrow. I might go to that apt and book another if there's more development but I'm trying to be realistic here. I was absolutely devastated yesterday when my tests were looking the same an no more development.

This is the first confirmed euploid embryo I've transferred. And after all the tests we did and being on the immune protocol I really hoped it'd work this time. I know odds were only 65% but I'm not sure what else we tests and try and do if this fails

@charja100 mine haven't developed much (top two tests were consecutive days, 8 9,10, i have a third one, misplaced but also the same as them no progression, I went to boots for their brand I know shouldn't swap brands for line comparison, I feel mine is quite faint still as I am 13 days past transfer
I don't think I can relax it's crazy you think a positive makes all the anxiety of this go away but it just doesn't

@camelinastorm I see progression in all of these, I really think you're going to be fine. They do say to compare tests every 48 hours.

So I just don't feel positive about this all. Attached my pos cheapie easy at home sensitivity of 10 from FMU at 7 each day. These do show slow progression, but it's slow. The FRER have been awful and were so light and I've run out now. My test yesterday on FRER at 8dp5dt was lighter and sent me into a spin. Spent half the day convinced that we were out and chemical was starting as you can barely see the line in the test.

I've also been doing boots in evening at 7pm and then yesterdays and today in the am as I can get hold of them instead of FRER they look more positive but they lines dry much darker than they first are when in the 5 mins so I feel like they're misleading.

Hubbys told me to step away from the tests. I must say I think he's right but i can't not test now I've started. Such a pickle. Regretting cancelling the blood test yesterday now. I'm just about all over the place 🤪

Will add pics so you can see what I mean by all above.

But these were the boots tests within the 5 mins...

I see progression in both of your tests!! 😄

@charja100 I can definitely see progression in those! I'd say do the blood test and take it from there. Best of luck x

@charja100 there is definitely progression in yours and you are a few days behind me, I think we both need to step away from the tests 😂
My cheepy stick ones were nevitive the bottom one you can see the tiniest line but not really

@charja100 I didn't get my first positive until 9 days after 5 days transfer yours look great 😃

Sorry I've been away from the forum as I was trying to take my mind off the failed cycle. @ClaudiaRaz @tpeas and everyone else, congrats on your positives!! @charja100 I see line progression in there. 9dp5dt is still fairly early, and some people just have lower hcg - i definitely don't see it fading anw. Good luck with your bloods.

@OrientalPinkLily im so sorry, it's just so shit. 😔

@Lil89 - would def try and get hold of the clinic. I'm so sorry you're bleeding.

@charja100 congrats on your BFP!

yes had 2 betas now done, 12dp5dt was 657 and today 16dp5dt is 3176. My clinic isn't open until January so can't inform them (had them done at gp practice) everything I've read online reassures me so far so I'll anxiously wait for the viability scan in over a week.

also suffered 3 biochemicals so I've not felt mega happy or excited. Just a bag of nerves 😂

@CherryBerryBoo the numbers sound very good! Not long left until your scan! I hope everything goes well with this pregnancy, I have everything crossed for you!

@charja100

@CherryBerryBoo great numbers, how did you get bloods done at the GP I have had positive tests for a few days now but as had chemical before and 2 other failed transfers I'm so anxious

Guys! Need your advice please. The photo with two tests on are 6dp and 8dp, the one on its own is 10dp, I'm not convinced there is much progression, what do you think? 😬 I'm not at home so can't pit then all together... xx

Congrats! I definitely see. Good progression! It would be good to see them next to each other but looks good to me! ☺️

Thank you, I'm just so anxious. Had 3 chemicals before 🫠 xx

@Laura2301 and @CherryBerryBoo great line progression for you both!

My tests aren't getting any darker now... looking like it's another chemical for me. I knew it on moving day when I woke up. I don't know how I just felt it. The first pic is 7,8,9,10dp5dt and the single is today at 11dp5dt. Absolutely gutted, third chemical in 5 transfer.

We've already done so many tests i don't even know what's next for us.

It’s so stressful and everyone’s hcg can be a little different t so it’s so hard to compare to others. Would you consider getting bloods done or getting a more sensitive test as it might show up stronger on that?
I had a chemical pregnancy that lasted for a few weeks and it really messed with my head 🫠 and it’s so hard to get excited after going through it.

@charja100 todays looks as dark as yesterdays to me so hopefully tomorrows will be darker as it takes 48hrs for HCG to rise considerably. You can see clear jump between days 8&10 and 9&11. Fingers and toes crossed little one sticks xx

@Laura2301 they definitely look like they are getting more noticeable, mine seem to have very very little progression I have just done another this morning and it's exactly the same as 2 days ago. I'm hoping it's just how my body processes the HGC in my urine and not another chemical, as its going to drive me insane checking the progression lines so many seem to get congratulations

@camelinastorm can you get bloods taken to ease anxiety? X

@ivfjourneyandme I'm going to beg my GP tomorrow, they are not helpful at all it's awful tbh.
I can't nip back to my clinic as it is overseas, just wish I had a GP who was compassionate and caring

They say it increases every 48 hours which is why I held out and did them every other day but didn't really help ha, yours defo look darker every 48 hours though, I have everything crossed for a positive outcome xx

It's such a minefield isn't it. We can only hope i guess! Fingers crossed for positive outcomes for us both xx

I'm gonna pick up a test today to do tomorrow, official test day is NYE, so didn't really want to do it then. What will be will be I guess but doesn't stop the worry! Totally understand how you feel, ive been there too xx
