July FET 2025

[waitingforourmiracle]

Hey!!
Due to have my FET in July following my egg collection in April, I'm due to start norethisterone on Monday then patches so estimating my transfer to be mid-July!
Anyone else? 💛

Its ok as far as we know
Next scan 31st

@GamerGirl09 I know, I was fuming at the time but she booked me in for a couple of pre-ivf bloods then and I didn't want to loose them so didn't say anything, saved me a few hundred pounds hahaha!! How are you feeling? X

Just had my transfer today - doesn’t feel real yet and trying not to get my hopes up. My clinic have only given me at home pregnancy tests and advised to take one in 11 days, no beta testing.
I have a bit of a headache but probably because it’s been a long day.
Hope everyone’s doing well!

@worldwidetravel2017 happy to hear that xx

@waitingforourmiracle ugh well hope they let you this time ♥️ I’m okay thanks! Bit tired and over emotional, very very light cramps sometimes. I was really sad yest, was convinced all my symptoms had disappeared and my tests had got slightly lighter, I was comparing my lines against other peoples’ and getting really scared. But I did a cb digital this morning and it came up with 2-3!!! (It was 1-2 yest, I’m technically 2w + 1 from ‘conception’ lol) so I was buzzing my tiddies off this morning. How are you feeling now it’s sunk in a bit?

@SparklyMintBeaker congrats on becoming PUPO! Hope your headache subsides and you get a BFP in 11 days! Will you be testing before then?

@GamerGirl09 thank you! I’m so grateful the procedure wasn’t painful 🙏🏻
I’m too scared of testing before 11 days. Which day did you take your first test?

TW: Tests

@SparklyMintBeaker so I tested at 3dp5dt 🙈 because I saw a small number of people getting positives then but was expecting negative - just thought if we did happen to get a positive at some point then it might be nice to see some line progression. I thought I could see the slightest shadow at 3dpt but honestly if I didn’t get a positive after seeing that I wouldn’t have been massively surprised cos it defs could have been nothing. 4dpt I got nothing, stark white. 5dp5dt my cheapos picked up a faint positive but FRER didn’t. 6dpt FRER also picked it up. 9dp5dt = 2 weeks past ‘conception’ I got 1-2 on a clearblue digital, and the day after (2w + 1) I got 2-3. FRER this morning (11dp5dt) looks as dark as the control line and just had my beta blood test and waiting for results 🤞🏼♥️ I’ve added pics of my cheapos plus negative FRER at 5dp5dt and then today’s tests ♥️ My cheapos are One+Step from Amazon :) Good luck!

@GamerGirl09 wow thanks for all the info and congratulations on your dark lines 🥰🥰 I think I’ll try to wait till the test date (4/8) just to avoid any anxiety that comes with uncertainty.
Are you feeling any different?
I’m on a fully medicated cycle so I’ve been having all kinds of symptoms from the meds.

@GamerGirl09 it's so easy to spiral isn't it! I've tested again this morning to make sure yesterdays weren't a fluke haha!! I'm still not feeling very much, slight fullness like I'm going to start my period, one thing is I am starvingggg in the night/morning. I'm also full of a cold so I think that's draining me! Scared to take anything for it though so just powering through haha! Doesn't feel real yet, I don't think it will until a scan to be honest! Going to do a cb digital on Sunday I think!

Is anyone superstitious? I saw my father in law yesterday after getting my bfp (we aren't telling parents until next weekend so he wasn't aware) and he joked about the fact he had eggs for breakfast and it was a double yolk! I'm not usually superstitious but now I'm convinced I'm having twins hahaha!! I'd even joked about it when we did the test yesterday because it was a strong line for 6dpt. Two coincidences in one day 😂

@SparklyMintBeaker enjoy being PUPO!! You are a strong cookie holding off to OTD!! We all have our fingers crossed for you xx

@waitingforourmiracle thank you!! ☺️ let’s see if I’ll cave or not 😆
Hope you feel better soon, it’s not fun having a cold in summer! Lots of warm soups and hydration!

Has anyone been taking vitamin D supplements? I’d been taking a whole load of supplements but since my transfer have only been on a prenatal + omega 3 and contemplating whether to continue vitamin D…

@SparklyMintBeaker I'm only taking folic acid and vitamin D and have done for a few months now, I was taking a whole cocktail of stuff at one point! I was going to ask the clinic what they suggested actually when I speak to them on OTD

@SparklyMintBeaker thank you ♥️ most days I had v light cramps (like light light), a bit of nausea, some nights super tired at like 7pm, over emotional, sometimes off my food or getting full quicker, sometimes hungry and I had a really bad headache the evening of 4dpt, but everything seems to have subsided a bit. Except felt sick quite a lot today. I’m also medicated tho - on Progynova and Utrogestan. You have so much willpower holding off til test date! KEEP TAKING VITAMIN D. Folic acid and vitamin D are the only supplements my clinic (and many others too from what I’ve heard) recommend. I’ve been taking both folic acid and vitamin D for about 4 years 🤣 I also started taking omega 3 and MyOva supplements from the beginning of this month when I had a panic after I started my FET meds 🤣

@waitingforourmiraclesooo easy and I’ve defo spiralled more than once lol. Happy for you it’s not a fluke ♥️ I had a bit of a cough last week out of nowhere! And when I had my headache last Friday I was also scared to take anything but ended up taking paracetamol after it got worse. Doesn’t feel real for me either 🤣 but also hyper aware of everything that could go wrong. Omg I’d defo be wondering if I were having twins if I were you 🤣🤣 did you transfer 1 or 2?

@GamerGirl09 I'm hoping it's going to pass pretty quick! ChatGPT made me feel better than my immune system will be lower at the minute hence why I've probably picked it up! I transferred 1 haha so it's very unlikely just a strange coincidence!!

@waitingforourmiracle Probably ykno. ChatGPT is sick of me now 🤣 Ooh also, on your superstition point - I keep seeing 2 magpies (‘joy’) so I’m taking that 🤣

@GamerGirl09 thank you!! My consultant told me to just take folic acid but I’m covering all basis to be on the safe side!
I really hope I hold up till test day, I’m just so worried about testing before and not seeing anything I’ll stay crushed until OTD. At least if it’s negative on OTD then I’ll know it once and for all rather than drag it out a few days (being very negative I know 🙈)

Hi all
having a bit of a rough day. Getting myself really worked up. I’m 2dp5dt, woke up yesterday feeling a few twinges and lower back pain and had sore breasts. Last night I had very slight brown tinged CM and today I woke up with less twinges and less sore breasts, just feeling tired but am on a high dose of progesterone so could just be that. I know it’s too soon to test but I’m feeling very down and feeling that it hasn’t worked 😔 can anyone relate?

@SparklyMintBeaker To be completely honest, all those things could be it working, the progesterone, or not. Some people feel things some people don’t. My boobs haven’t been that sore, I think today’s probs the sorest. I felt very slight twinges / the lightest possible cramps ever for maybe a few days then it stopped a few days. All the hormones can affect mood as well. I’ve had maybe half sad days half happy days since the transfer 🤣 everything you’re feeling is normal, and feeling nothing / lighter symptoms is normal too so I’ve read. Keep going girl, you’ve got this xx

@SparklyMintBeaker I think the brown tinged cm at that stage is likely from the transfer. I don’t think implantation properly starts til 3+ days xx

@GamerGirl09 ah I love that!

@SparklyMintBeaker I didn't feel anything really!! I agree with GamerGirl, brown cm is probably from the transfer procedure itself! Got to keep reminding myself if this was a natural pregnancy you more than likely wouldn't notice a thing until a missed period! Your still very much PUPO 💛

Has anyone else gone test crazy/blind? 🙈every test I think it's not got darker but clearly is! My partner keeps saying "what are you looking at if you don't think that is darker than yesterday" haha I'm going test blind!! I got my 1-2 week on CB on Saturday so hopefully that keeps progressing!

TW: test

Hope everyone is doing good? I got my beta hCG back today from the test I had on Friday 🙄 hCG 341 at 11dp5dt 🥹♥️🤞🏼

@GamerGirl09 @waitingforourmiracle thank you for the reassurance, feel a lot calmer now even though I feel nothing I’m just trying to not overthink and whatever will be will be ♥️
Congratulations @GamerGirl09 🥰🥰 so very happy for you!!! How are you feeling?

@GamerGirl09 ahh that is great!! I am really debating getting private beta tests done!!

@SparklyMintBeaker glad your feeling calmer, it's so easy to overthink!! When do you plan to test

@waitingforourmiracle my other half doesn’t want us to test before 11dp5dt which is next Monday. I bought early detection tests from superdrug but not sure when to take them. When did you start testing?
I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, chesty and as if I’m getting ill 😷. Perfect timing 🤦🏻‍♀️

@SparklyMintBeaker I tested from 6dp5dt - I was full of a cold last week but ChatGPT made me feel better it said my immune system will be lower to prevent the mother's body from rejecting the embryo!! I thought it would negatively effect the out come but it didn't. Plenty of rest! X
