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? 💛

@waitingforourmiracle that’s reassuring! Did you see any lines on that day? X

waitingforourmiracle · 29/07/2025 12:24

Yes very clear! I posted my tests on Thursday, they were my 6dpt tests, maybe be a couple of pages back on this thread x

@waitingforourmiracle@SparklyMintBeaker Feeling somewhere between can’t believe it and terrified 🤣 had a call with clinic today to answer a couple questions and he said something like ‘now it’s either a good embryo and all is good or a bad embryo and you’ll miscarry’ and idk if maybe I’m just a bit touchy but that made me a lil sad and scared lol. Also booked a viability scan for 7w1d as requested by the clinic and couldn’t help myself from doing an nhs maternity referral for first appt 🙈 I can’t help but wonder if I’m jinxing anything by actually moving forward with stuff ykno 😩 I started testing positive at 5dp5dt and I also had a bit of a cough out of nowhere for a few days after the transfer!

SparklyMintBeaker · 29/07/2025 18:12

@GamerGirl09 what a horrible thing to say (the clinic) I’d feel the same if they told me that tbh.
totally normal what you’re doing! Praying for a healthy pregnancy for you 🙏🏻☺️🥰
I’m 5dpt now and I’m contemplating whether to test today or not, my husband is totally against it, but I can do it before he gets home 👀

FlatWhiteAnyone · 29/07/2025 18:18

Hi ladies, just got my embryo on board!!
Cannot believe I am on this stage 🥰 They asked for blood test next Thursday and then Saturday. I promised them not to do urine test as she said you will do on Sunday-Monday, will be negative you will worry till blood, positive- still worry if line changes and then testing multiple times… I always tested super early and a lot before (non-ivf ones)…will try to avoid 😬😬

SparklyMintBeaker · 29/07/2025 23:41

@FlatWhiteAnyone congratulations on being PUPO 🥰

@waitingforourmiracle @GamerGirl09 I caved and did an early detection test and I got a faint line 🥹

GamerGirl09 · 30/07/2025 10:49

Aaaargh congrats @SparklyMintBeaker and congrats @FlatWhiteAnyone on becoming PUPO! 🤞🏼♥️ wishing all the best for you both xx

waitingforourmiracle · 30/07/2025 10:51

@GamerGirl09 Oh my gosh as if your clinic said that!! That's really bad!!! I'm at the stage where it doesn't feel real at all, my scan is booked for the 21st August, it's going to be a verrrrrry long 3 weeks, I will be 7+4. Petrified for that as my last round that's when everything went wrong! How are you feeling? I still feel relatively fine, my boobs are killlling me though but they were before transfer so putting that down to progesterone, I also keep getting starving all of a sudden, I woke up at 4am and was so close to going and making some food 😅

@FlatWhiteAnyone woohoooo officially PUPO! The wait and the trying to not test is another kind of torture!! We all have our fingers crossed for you!!

@SparklyMintBeaker ahhh yaaaaay!! Congrats! If your anything like me you'll go into crazy test lady, my bathroom windowsill is like a chemist there are so many tests on it 😂

@GamerGirl09@waitingforourmiracle@SparklyMintBeakerthank you all! I hope I will join you in the nervous wait for the scan 🤞🏻Take care and hoping you all get positive news

SparklyMintBeaker · 30/07/2025 15:21

@waitingforourmiracle I’m definitely testing again tomorrow 😂 hoping I don’t lose that line
@GamerGirl09
shall I wait till OTD to let my clinic know?
@FlatWhiteAnyone everything crossed for you!! 🙏🏻🤞🏼

waitingforourmiracle · 30/07/2025 16:39

I need to rant a little here 😂so I bought a package of 2 rounds but did meds separate, I paid my initial bill for meds when I did my stims, then it was decided I would have a medicated frozen cycle (which me and the dr were 99% sure would happen before starting due to high AMH and good response last time and long cycle due to PCOS) anyway, I then got a bill for evorel patches which had a £55 packing fee on, the patches themself were about £40, questioned it with the clinic and they just said it was mandatory from the pharmacy, fine, paid it. Let the clinic know today about my positive and they've send me another invoice for more patches which cost £21.36 and another packing fee of £57!!

  1. how on earth can they charge that to literally put a couple of boxes into another box and post out
  2. surely the clinic could of proscribed me enough in the case of a positive test
  3. I've just spent £12k with them are they taking the pi** with charging even more 😲

Sorry feel better for ranting, I'm going to have to pay it and in the grand scheme of things it's not alot but it's really annoyed me!!

GamerGirl09 · 30/07/2025 22:17

@SparklyMintBeaker yeah I’d wait until OTD to tell your clinic :) x

@waitingforourmiracle ah that’s crap, can you use a different pharmacy? I used Stork for my stims etc (the whole big shaboodle of meds) and they had a £65 ordering fee or whatever they called it so to avoid that I got my oestrogen tablets from my local pharmacy and progesterone capsules from Asda pharmacy to avoid the standard fee x

GamerGirl09 · 30/07/2025 22:21

Had a light bit of brown discharge today and been so anxious about it 😩 got some really light cramps too, nothing painful thankfully. I’m really hoping it’s just old from implantation or maybe from the vaginal progesterone capsules 🤞🏼

waitingforourmiracle · 31/07/2025 11:04

@GamerGirl09 the clinic charge £50 to write a proscription 😳so I'm paying either way! I'm sure it's nothing to worry about! My clinic have said brown is likely to be old blood so you may be right in saying its old implantation! It's so horrible having constant anxiety about everything! Hope your okay xx

OP posts:
SparklyMintBeaker · 31/07/2025 11:17

@waitingforourmiracle that is so annoying all this ££ just for prescribing and packaging! The costs of this process really drain you without realising because we want a certain outcome so much 😔
Understand how you feel, so frustrating.

@GamerGirl09 I’m sure it’s as you said old implantation and nothing to worry about. Cramps also normal at this stage xx
You’ve got this!

waitingforourmiracle · 31/07/2025 12:50

Did you test again @SparklyMintBeaker how you feeling x

OP posts:
SparklyMintBeaker · 31/07/2025 17:53

@waitingforourmiracle I did yes this morning and got a slightly darker line but then also got a tiny bit of brown spots. Heightened sense of smell and generally tired, sleeping lots. So random this cough I had for 2 days then just disappeared!
how are you? how long are you staying on estrogen and progesterone for? x

waitingforourmiracle · 01/08/2025 11:24

@SparklyMintBeaker all sound like good signs! I'm okay, my boobs are killing me and I'm starting to feel abit nauseous after I've had a drink which isn't good when I'm trying to drink plenty of water! I'll stay on them until 12 weeks I think x

Morning ladies, hope everyone’s okay! When I was out for tea last night I started getting period like pains but didn’t think too much of it, when to the toilet and I was bleeding, like a period amount of red blood, I didn’t look at it proper because I completely panicked, went back to the toilet 5 minutes later and it was the same, it did seem to stop after that with just like left over when I wiped but the cramps have continued, nothing unbearable but feel like period pains, it’s gone more like a brown when I wipe now, going to ring EPU this morning, why is it never straight forward 😭

@worldwidetravel2017 I’ve just read back through your comments, does this sound similar to what you experienced? X

SparklyMintBeaker · 03/08/2025 09:29

@waitingforourmiracle that must be scary! Have you rung them yet? Please keep us posted, keeping everything crossed for you! 🙏🏻🤞🏼

GamerGirl09 · 03/08/2025 11:11

@waitingforourmiracle oh god I really hope everything’s okay. I had pink spotting in the night, early hours of yesterday morning and was terrified so can only imagine you feel double that. Let us know what EPU say, really wishing all the best for you 🤞🏼♥️

Im not sure as my cramps were not as much as period cramps - they were lighter

The bleed was haematoma

Always good to get checked

Really hope alls ok

SparklyMintBeaker · 03/08/2025 23:49

@waitingforourmiracle @GamerGirl09 how are you both? x

GamerGirl09 · 04/08/2025 09:09

@SparklyMintBeaker I’m okay thank you, no spotting since sat morning. Had a tiny red clot last night but was about the size of a chia seed it was tiny and nothing this morning. Just so scared every day 🤣 it’s awful ha. How are you doing?

waitingforourmiracle · 04/08/2025 10:14

I spoke to the clinic who suggested changing my pessaries from vaginally to rectally as it may of been irritation and they didn't seem to concerned but I think the amount of blood there was its more than that, I spoke to the EPU and they've booked me in for a scan a week today as they said any earlier there wouldn't be anything to see, I've tested this morning and the line looks lighter so I'm preparing for the worst to be honest, been absolutely devasted since 😪

Hope everyone is okay x
