Hi, I'm currently 3dp5dt (round #2) TTC child #2 at 39yrs

Me 👋
I'm 4dp5dt today. My first round. Interesting my OTD is 19th December!
Driving myself insane looking for symptoms and convinced myself it's bad news already as I haven't really felt anything.
How are you doing?

CakePigeon30 · 13/12/2024 16:32

Hi, I'm also 4dp5dt. Had two put back in. Test day not till 23rd don't think I can last!!!!!

Magix86 · 13/12/2024 17:07

It's funny how we all have a different timeframe for testing. I think my clinic must do them quite early!
Hope you're doing OK @CakePigeon30
Anyone feeling any symptoms?
I've felt a little sick the past hour or so but I know it's far too early. No real cramps or anything. Boobs have been sore but that started well before the transfer due to all the meds!

Hi ladies
@Magix86 I think I've seen you in another thread 🙂

I woke up with cramps. But after a lot of googling I don't think it means anything.

Do you think you'll test early?

I did last time and got myself into an awful negative spiral which resulted in crying all day when I got my BFN on 7dpt (and all the days leading up to it) so I think I'll try to wait a bit longer this time and try to enjoy the hopeful PUPO stage!!

Magix86 · 13/12/2024 18:11

Yes @spamOFtheDAY I did remember your name 🙂
Call me crazy but I've actually tested a couple of days ago! Only for the pure reason of checking my trigger was out of my system, which it now is.
I'm trying to resist the urge to test any further as I don't want the daily disappointment but we've never been in this position before so I want to see a positive test more than anything.

CakePigeon30 · 13/12/2024 18:21

@Magix86 I've had cramps and sore boobs but think that's off the progesterone? I've never been this far before either so not sure what I should be feeling haha

Magix86 · 13/12/2024 18:35

@CakePigeon30 is this your first ivf round? It's all completely new to me!
I think it's definitely the progesterone- I'm on cyclogest twice a day. I'm now off work for a week so hoping I can distract myself with some nice things while I wait this out
Hoping this is a lucky thread for us all 💖

SAbs86 · 13/12/2024 19:13

Me! My transfer was last Thursday and OTD is tomorrow. I have been getting cramps, lower back pain and bloating. But likely to be the progesterone.

Here's hoping for an early Christmas present for us all ❤️

CakePigeon30 · 13/12/2024 19:13

@Magix86 no second cycle but last time didn't have any blasts so didn't make it to transfer. This time had two early blasts transferred.

Oh wow! Have you found it easy not to test early?

@SAbs86 good luck tomorrow

SAbs86 · 13/12/2024 19:20

@spamOFtheDAY I actually caved on Monday and did a test, it was in the evening though so not with FMU. I did get a faint positive but I had a chemical last time and I'm so scared to get my hopes up again. So waiting until OTD now so I don't drive myself crazy.

Will you wait until OTD?

Magix86 · 13/12/2024 19:21

@SAbs86 wishing you all the luck for tomorrow!! 🤞🏻💖

SAbs86 · 13/12/2024 19:23

@Magix86 @CakePigeon30 thank you both, wishing you best of luck too xx

@spamOFtheDAY thank you! Will update tomorrow x

SAbs86 · 14/12/2024 09:20

Just posting an update here. I got a positive this morning but it's fainter than I would have expected given its OTD. I'm not getting my hopes up as I suspect it's another chemical. The clinic have asked me to come in for bloods and I'll get the results Monday. This weekend will be a long wait ☹️

This will be a tough weekend.
Hopefully it's the good news you want on Monday 🤞

@spamOFtheDAY thanks for your message. I was able to get the results back today and my beta HcG came back at 203 which they said is very much a positive. I'm going back on Monday to check levels are increasing. Still too nervous to get my hopes up but at least it gave me some reassurance. I am definitely staying away from the tests now. Xx

@SAbs86 glad you got the reassurance today! All sounds good. Hoping for good news Monday!

charja100 · 14/12/2024 18:24

Congrats to those of you PUPO and waiting. Will you bed testing early or holding out until OTD?

Congrats to you @SAbs86 on your positive bloods!

I'm transferring on Wednesday so joining now in anticipation. This will be my 5th transfer from three ECs. It'll be my first transfer with a euploid embryo and I'm going to be on an immune protocol too. I definitely have my hopes up that it might be my time finally but scared as the heartbreak is real every time it doesn't work out.

SAbs86 · 14/12/2024 18:46

Thank you @spamOFtheDAY @Magix86

@charja100 thank you and wishing you the best of luck. Mine was euploid too and I'm also on prednisolone.

spamOFtheDAY · 14/12/2024 21:04

I've been pregnant twice. The first time with my DS
The 2nd ended in MC

Both times, just before I found out, I was so pissed off with my husband about everything (eg the way he walked too slowly/ the way he breathed!!).

Right now I could kick him out the house 😡
Though I'm trying to be nice!

Maybe the progesterone...? (If so, could just be the pessaries) but hoping it's a sign 🤞

Hi guys, can I jump in too? I’m 3dp5dt with a 4bb blast, my OTD is 23.12.24.

This is my second embryo from my 4th round IVF, first time with an FET though and just happy we got a surprise blast from this round and we’ve never had anything else to freeze.

My first round ended with an ectopic pregnancy, and rounds 2,3 and 4 all were 3 day transfers ending in BFNs. It’s been the worse two years of my life but we’re still on this rollercoaster.

How is everyone doing today? Does anyone’s OTD clash with Christmas Day? 😬 What a time to be doing this 😅

@charja100 I think I remember you from an earlier thread? How’s it going?
