January Transfer Buddies 🌟

[Cosyseason1234]

Hi all ☺️

I have had an IVF round in November and had a freeze all cycle. I have had a meeting with the consultant this morning and will be doing a FET in late December/early Jan.

Please join this thread if you are on a similar timescale 💫

Congratulations to all the BFPs! There are so many of you, and it's amazing news!

Sorry to those with negative results, I hope you're looking after yourselves.

@Daniki I have my transfer booked in for next Thursday! So I'm still quite behind the rest of the group, but I'm glad to get a date :)

Aw I don't think they are lighter but if you miss a day between testing and do AM test you will actually notice a difference in the progression yourself. I know it's super hard because of all the doubts and everything else running around in our heads but leave a day in between and then you'll see for yourself. And please don't think you sound crazy. We are just cautious to completely let down our walls and accept even the good news that comes our way x

@Sherr33 thank you, I know you are totally right, I just get so in my head that it’s too faint for this stage and that it’s doomed already but I will definitely try not to test tomorrow morning and instead wait until Saturday and I think with doing that even if it is bad news and fainter at least it will put my mind at rest rather than this limbo and hope! X

@MS2692 id try to get some pink dye ones like first response. Your bottom two look positive but your top two look more like evaps now. The blue dye ones darken as they age even if they are negative! So they will look lighter if they are fresh. Try and first response early result.

@MS2692 you don’t sound crazy AT ALL. I did 6 tests yesterday 3 different brands. I’ve done one this morning and said no more until Saturday now I’m driving myself insane.
are the bottom two tests normal pregnancy tests and the top one early?
I got some boots early response tests yest and will just be using those,like @Mseddy said I think the pink lines are more reliable from what I’ve read?
hope you are ok,please be kind to yourself! It’s still very very early and there’s no way to tell the date of implantation etc.

@Mseddy welcome to the 6 day wait! I tested at 5 😂😂

hope everyone else is doing ok ❤️

@MS2692 I thought this with my first FET, The tests didn't seem to be getting lighter and I was terrified of a chemical. I switched to the boots 5 days earlier and the results were massively different and more reassuring. Also remember it doubles every 48 hours so you're looking a difference between say day 10 & day 12.

@Waitingformystork oh lovely! Just a week to go you won't be long finding it! I'm getting very impatient now with the wait 😂

@MS2692 I meant didn't seem to be getting darker* 😛

@Daniki @Waitingformystork I'll be even later than you guys. Mine will be the following week. My guess would be the Tuesday at this point, but I'll only know next week for sure.

Thanks everyone. Still negative today and first wee of the day. I’ve always known when I’ve been pregnant before and getting very strong symptoms mega early. I know everything says it’s impossible but a flash of heartburn is always a clear sign.

Anyhow, had a big cry yesterday and feeling a lot better today. Will test to Saturday & then stop the meds if still no line.

It gives me hope seeing all these BFPs!

@TheseCalmSeas got everything crossed that Saturday is a positive ❤️ glad to hear you are feeling better today,be kind to yourself over the next few days 🧘‍♀️

@TheseCalmSeas I am hoping for your Saturday test to be positive..!

Also...When I read your post I was shocked for a second. I had heartburn yesterday, and I never ever EVER get those, that's why I paid attention...Could it be...?? My transfer was on Monday...
Other than that I don't have symptoms yet apart from some very mild cramping here and there, but I feel extremely 'hormonal' today - ready to cry over every single thing easily, etc...🙄

Oh fingers crossed for you! When I’ve had a successful transfer (ended in MMC but it did work initially), I had heartburn on day 3 and 4 post transfer.

Then 7 days after ovulation when I got pregnant naturally. I NEVER get it unless I’m pregnant. So weird!

@TheseCalmSeas thank you for your response! MMC stands for miscarriage I suppose..? If so, sorry to hear that. ❤

Joining the club! Has anyone experienced discharge in the first days after FET? Also what is the soonest you have tested for BFP

@HeadInTheClouds4 yes! I have! And it's given me the absolute fear thinking it's been my period. When was your transfer?

@TheseCalmSeas I'm sorry you think it hasn't worked. 😔

@Elena3 with my DD transfer was 21st December and I struggled with really bad heartburn on Christmas night and boxing night so 4 and 5 days post transfer. Tested positive on 27th at 6dp5dt. So id say that's a good sign!

I've had some cramp this morning, but given I'm not even 24 hours post transfer id say it's related to transfer not anything more exciting! My DH now has the virus DD has. Both have temps over 38. I'm petrified! Because if my temp goes that high that's pretty much it for my little embaby :( so far I'm feeling alright! I'm hoping I have a better immune system to them both!

@Mseddy , thank you, never thought heartburn would be such an exciting sign for me :D

Stay strong, maybe something to boost your immune system just in case!

Oh really, and did you get a BFP? It was 28th, I just need a sign 🫣

@HeadInTheClouds4 welcome! You're joining me, @Eagerlywaiting1990 and @Purpleflowers17 we all had ours on the 28th.. I'm currently aiming to wait till next Friday before testing but I agree definitely in need of a sign! All I've had so far was a bit of cramping the other night but its settled now so a frustrating lack of things to report.

I had my FET done on the 29th and am feeling like the wait is forever

Wow 28th was a very popular day for transfer 🤣. @Ginny91 I'm with ya, I feel a bit sicky today but highly doubt that's any sort of sign.
I'm holding off to next Friday too - only another week to wait 🙈 xxx

Amazing! I am doing a clear blue on Sunday 2nd, then the 5th then the 8th. Was advised to wait until the 8th but due on the 6th. I've had mild cramping left side and fatigue but not sure if due to progesterone and boredom waiting!

Is this all of your first transfers? What did you transfer? Mine was a hatched embryo that went back inside its shell when biopsied so they were pleased it had the protection of shell but also ease of leaving.

I've just bought 6 FRER's 🙈 I know I'm an early tester and a serial tester, so I may as well be prepared! I'm going to try and not test before Wednesday as that will be 6dp5dt which is when I tested positive with my DD and my miscarriage. But I might cave on Tuesday! I forgot how much I hate this waiting game!

@HeadInTheClouds4 this is my second transfer...first one didn't take so I definitely feel more anxious than I did last time, probably less naive than I was too. Is this your first? I'm not sure, all I know is it was well graded and started to grow as soon as it thawed so they felt happy with it.
@Mseddy I'd be tempted to test earlier too but my husband doesn't want to and I wouldn't be able to keep it from him either way so next Friday is our compromise. Our OTD isn't until 11th Feb xx
