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? 💛

@SparklyMintBeaker ah that is something I would probably also do 🤦🏻‍♀️ annoying the clinic couldn’t give better advice!! I think as annoying as it is paying twice a new proscription would put your mind at ease!

@magpie234 literally alllll the feels this morning 😂 embryo is now on board! When it thawed it actually started to hatch so they upped the grading to a 5AA, I know grading isn’t everything but it was really nice to know as our last round our 1 embryo was graded “poor” and some clinics wouldn’t of even attempted to freeze! Chill night for me and try get through the next week without going crazy!!

hope everyone is doing okay and has a lovely weekend 💛

@waitingforourmiracle that's great news about the upgrade! Sounds like an eager little embryo you have there 💕

Meh, meh & meh

Officially 6 wks preg woo

However- gutted - just been diagnosed with aps / apls

( next scan monday)

Eeek

@worldwidetravel2017 that's not what you wanted to hear; why can't this ever just be straight forward?! My understanding of this is they need to carefully monitor you, are you on aspirin ? Do you ever feel like you're just being battered by this whole process but keep getting up again like those arcade things that get bashed and keep popping up? That's how I feel anyway! Having the euphoria of it working and now the worry of this must be really tough. Sending virtual hugs.

I had day 10 monitoring scan today. Sonographer said I've more than likely already ovulated as have a large corpus luteum on right ovary and no other large follicles...on Wed, a different sonographer said the corpus luteum was so small that I wouldn't have ovulated...she measured it at 6.2 mm but today a different sonographer said it was 22mm so was the dominant follicle. FFS. I have no faith in them ATM. Yet, I have triple line which she also said means ovulation is imminent...so she couldn't explain it and i was left feeling generally pissed off and irritated that i appear to have ovulated on day 5 so that's another month and load of money wasted. This is where being treated abroad is not ideal as I'm not really getting the close monitoring i need...On it goes!

@Sara237 Sounds ridiculous! So sorry. Have you been using ovulation tests at home?

@magpie234 thanks, I have been and I got the surge line on Tuesday last week but at the Wed scan, the next day, the sonographer didn't think I'd ovulated. I reckon I ovulated Thur or Friday. Today the sonographer suggested have a scan in next cycle on day 2 or 3 so as to catch it...

Yeah its tough

Will catch up on everyone's messages soon but hope everyone is doing okay. We tested positive today - the line on the premom test was quite faint so that worried me a bit, especially considering we're 10dp5dt but our first response was solid and strong and a clear blue said 2-3weeks so that's made me feel a lot better! Terrified now but trying to enjoy the moment and celebrate that today we are pregnant. Been crying for the last two hours on and off 🤣

@FancyGoose that's fantastic news, congratulations. Have a lovely day.

@SparklyMintBeaker oh god what a poo situation for you to be in 🤦🏼‍♀️ so sorry that’s happened and can imagjne you’re feeling awful about having to make a decision whether to fork out tons more money or ‘see if it’s ok’ - really sorry to hear your clinics not been the most helpful. Just remember, hopefully if all goes well this could be a distant memory you laugh about ♥️

@Sara237that sounds so confusing, and conflicting info too? Ugh hope you get sorted ♥️

@waitingforourmiraclecongrats on the transfer, and now you’re (as I’ve read elsewhere 🤣) PUPO! Pregnant until proven otherwise haha. Hope you have a sticky lil embryo 🤞🏼♥️

Aargh congratulations @FancyGoose!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

TW: tests

I did a stupid thing and tested early 🙈 but for the reason that if we’re successful might be nice to have some progression lines. Anyway, yesterday we got some faint lines on the 4 cheapo tests I did 🙈 but couldn’t see a second line on the FRER. Was hoping this morning the FRER would show (and so not just dud cheapos) and it’s come up faint positive on the FRER today 🥹😭🤞🏼♥️ cautiously optimistic now but obviously know so much can still go wrong 😭 even before my blood test Friday! This should be a happy post but it’s such a shit process in so many ways isn’t it, we’re all so much more aware of every single thing that can go wrong and it’s hard to let ourselves be too happy.

Anyway, I’m hoping my lines get darker and taking every part one hurdle at a time, and I’m rooting for every one of you ♥️

@Sara237 oh that is really frustrating for you, I’m really sorry, the uncertainty in this whole journey is just awful so I really do feel for you.

@FancyGoose amazing! Congratulations! You are so right, enjoy every minute and we’re all praying for a healthy pregnancy for you 🩷

@GamerGirl09 i love that phrase, I keep saying it to my partner 😋

I’m trying really hard to live as normal as possible after this transfer, I have done the whole cycle to be honest but we had a take away last night and now I’m thinking oh my gosh was that a bad idea, stupid I know! Last year I was followed everything by the book of the old wife tales post transfer so I’m struggling to try and live normal (within reason) as well as not panicking I’m doing something wrong!! I slept with a fan on last night and woke up with a sore throat and I’m even feeling guilty about that! The only kind of thing I am doing is keeping socks on to keep my feet warm, hence the fan on last night because I was hot 😂 sorry gone on one there abit but anyone else feel like they’ve gone abit crazy 🙈

Congratulations :)

Ahhh @GamerGirl09 your message came up as I was typing out!! Congratulations!! Again we are all praying for a healthy pregnancy! What wonderful news! How many days post transfer are you again? 💛

Being in this group is really helpful. No-one else really gets it. A voice is saying to me that the universe is sending me a message about being to old for all this. Maybe my desperation to give my son a sibling has overtaken reason...but when you feel you've got more mothering in you it feels so hard to give up. Everything crossed for all of us!

@FancyGoose@GamerGirl09 Congratulations on your BFPs!

@waitingforourmiracle @magpie234 thanks so much! Still can’t believe it and although I always say it’s not over til it’s over, I’m starting to say it’s not real til it’s real now too 🤣 so I got a faint + yesterday (5dp5dt) on the Amazon cheapos and a faint + (but stronger than yest) this morning (6dp5dt) on the Amazon cheapos and FRER 🤞🏼♥️

@Sara237 @waitingforourmiraclei think we punish ourselves way too much and I think the world has already punished us enough for us to all be in this position that we really don’t need to add to that ourselves. I do the exact same myself though - worrying about being too old or too fat, that I have a couple of health conditions, that I’ve not been the most model citizen ever, I laid at a bad angle in the car on way home from transfer to do my vag tablet so have I caused an ectopic or will it fail now, I’ve stuck my legs out of the bed when I’ve been too warm and let my feet get cold 🤣 it’s easier said than done but we really need to give ourselves grace ♥️ this process is hard enough as it is without telling ourselves we’re the problem ♥️ and if that doesn’t help then it might help to know that I’m sure we’re all doing the exact same to ourselves!!!! love to you all x

@Sara237oh sorry to hear they missed the ovulation! Could anything be done? Hope next one will be a lucky one, hang on there 🍀

@GamerGirl09 you are so right!! The clinic said it's up to my body now, drinking a cold drink it's going to make the embryo fall out 🙈it's so easy to become obsessed, isn't the whole TTC journey!! I haven't felt much to be honest the last couple of days, slight stabbing pain on Saturday but really if I hadn't mentioned it to my partner I probably would of forgot it even happened it was that quick! I think I'm preparing for a negative test I don't know why, so I suppose I won't be surprised if it hasn't worked! Trying to be positive but it's very difficult after when happened last time. How are you feeling today?

@waitingforourmiracle I had v v v mild cramps pretty much every day since transfer but I honestly think it’s just cos I was paying super close attention to see if I felt anything and they didn’t hurt or anything so idk if I can even call them cramps - maybe just ‘lower stomach feelings’ 🤣 Friday night (4dpt) I went to bed super early with a huge headache and felt sick - but that could just as easily have been because I stupidly didn’t drink too much on Friday cos I’d been reading about people not drinking for a couple hours and testing again and I drove myself mad trying to find a faint line. Why does IVF make us crazy people 🤣 umm yesterday (6dpt) I got tired earlier than usual but that could have been cos my nephews were round and I was playing with them all day 🤣 I have felt like my brain has been stuttering the last couple days and also started to feel a bit emotional. Husband asked if I was ok this morning and the way I said yeah he was like ‘you’re not ok what’s up’ and I said ‘nothing I’m fine’ and we got into a mini argument cos he was like I can tell somethings up why are you saying nothing is up and I was like ‘BECAUSE IM EMOTIONAL AND I IRRATIONALLY GOT UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING THATS NOT A BIG DEAL WHICH IS WHY IM LIKE IM FINE COS I AM REALLY IM JUST GETTING IRRATIONALLY UPSET AND I KNOW THIS SO ACTUALLY IM FINE’ lmaooo except I forgot the word irrational so was trying to figure out what I meant while looking at him with tears in my eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 other than that I’m fine lmao.

Still don’t 100% believe it though, don’t think I’ll believe it til beta day. And I was convinced when I did the tests this morning that they’d not got any darker but think they might have ever so slightly and I dreamt last night I came on my period and I was devastated 🙃 sorry for such a long message all this is just very new to me and I’m excited but so nervous 🤞🏼♥️

@waitingforourmiracle also I was convinced before we even had the transfer that it wasn’t going to work and I’m only just now starting to think it actually maybe might? So chin up, I’ve proven that thinking negative about it doesn’t mean little embryo won’t stick ♥️ it’s not over til its over 🤞🏼♥️ Good luck! Xx
