October FET

[InfertilitySWS]

Hi! I’m starting the process of a FET in September, transferring a 4AB early October. Trying for baby number two. Anyone else? Would be great to have people to talk to amongst the symptom spotting, line eyes and general freak outs ☺️

No phone call this arvo, so looks like no middle of brisbane trip to the other clinic in the morning and I go back to my clinic bright and early monday morning. My meds hadn't gotten in yet so picking them up on monday.

Hi ladies I hope you're all having a lovely start to your weekend. I am working meh. So had the scan yesterday and after all that stress it turns out the supposed haemorrhagic cyst was just a very normal corpus luteum from when I ovulated that cycle. Apparently both things look similar! They were happy my lining was nice and thin so now we wait about a week and then scans start alternate days (doing a natural transfer). Feeling nervous but excited too!

On a side note yesterday I got called in a few minutes late as they were having computer issues. The scanner I am guessing was in a rush. Normally when you're getting undressed they wait for you to tell them when you're ready underneath the sheet. This scanner opened the curtain after a minute I kid you not! Pants half way down lol. Had my granny ripped up undies I use when I am on 😭🤣. Didn't know whether to laugh be angry or cry. My husband was with in shock! 😂. She then closed the curtain quickly..

Damn the thought of a spider that big makes me feel 🤢. Great that your clinic does have a weekend sis clinic to cover all bases in case you did need a scan then.

Hi all,
Look like period should be starting tomorrow properly. Which means start medication for my FET day after 🤞🏻

@Needamiracle12 So pleased to hear this. Sounds as if everything is now progressing nicely with close monitoring and hopefully a natural cycle. That's a bit much not giving you your privacy, funnily enough, last 2 scans I've had at ultrasound direct they've not even left the room for he to get changed just stood there...they always used to leave and then knock. Excited for you!
@PlanBFertility Glad to hear you are also about to start. It's hard waiting around when you just want to get on with it!

I'm so glad, @Needamiracle12! Whew, that was a bit of excitement you didn't need, wasn't it?! Fingers crossed it's all smooth sailing from now on.

@PlanBFertility, good luck with starting the meds!

Just wondering as well how others are doing? @Piapea, hope you're OK in the 2ww.

Was a nice distraction last night . My 20yr old daughter planned a Halloween party for last night so she came over to help set up the bbq area and stuff and everyone showed up in costume and hubby and I did a lot of the hosting so the young adults could let their hair down and enjoy their night. Had young adults everywhere this morning lol
How is everyones weekend treating them. Hopefully like us and being a little distracted from the ivf process.

Oh, that's so nice!

I am rubbish at distracting myself atm (it's 12.30 am here and I just can't sleep). Do your older children know you're doing IVF?

@SarahAndQuack I defintiely do well at finding ways to distract myself with the younger 2 kids and all our animals, we also have a small spot of property so am outside all the time plus we own a horse out on agistment so a lot of my days are out working on the young foal. I spend a lot of time with my chickens and dogs. I also have loads of housework to do plus we are sort of on and off again renovating. But it still doesnt always stop me from stressing hahah

Yeah all the older kids know we are doing ivf. They ask their questions and help me during the 2ww , they take over carrying all the heavy bags up from the car or clean the kitty litters for me, my son carries all the animal feeds up the hill for me from the car and everyone helps with the animal chores.

Thanks for checking in @SarahAndQuack . I didn't find the TTW that bad! A job and a toddler are good distractions!

I was having all the right feelings I thought, slight cramping, pinching feeling on and off and I thought it was going on the right direction. I then woke up on Friday morning with the worst vomiting and diarrhoea all day. Felt fine yesterday and decided to test today (Sunday) as my official test date is on Tuesday, but I really didn't want to take a test and have to work straight after if it was bad news.
Anyway.. after a night of dreaming about messing up the tests, I took it this morning. I was actually putting it off as I had gone from convinced it worked, to feeling quite sure it hadn't. Sadly it was a negative. Not a trace of a second line. I'm now not sure what to do. Do I stop all progesterone now or keep going until Tuesday and test again to make sure. Surely there would be a faint positive at 9dp5dt if it was going the right way? Any advice is welcome.

Huge congratulations to those of you who have gotten their BFP this cycle. And fingers crossed for those of you still in the running X

I’ve been in a similar position. Tested positive all last week but gradually they’ve faded to basically nothing. OTD is tomorrow but I can’t decide if to stop the meds anyway as it’s definitely a chemical

@Piapea I think wait till OTD to get results before stopping meds. I'm so sorry you got a negative test. Is your otd on day 14?
@cakeislife1234 So sorry to hear this. At least tomorrow will give you the definitive. Is it a beta test? Thinking of you.

No just a normal urine test and ring them with results. I think they’d do bloods and scan if I still had a positive as I have had an ectopic before

I am so sorry to hear that, @Piapea and @cakeislife1234.

@Piapea, I don't know but I think I would carry on, because I am a rule follower, and hope it was a late implantation/dilute urine. But I don't know.

Lots of love to you both.

Really sorry to hear that. Sending hugs. It's so hard this journey @cakeislife1234@Piapea

Hey all, feeling quite emotional today. I’ve had some friends visiting so we went out last night and had quite a few drinks. I’ve got a scan for my lining on Tuesday and I’m just so worried I’ve ruined it all and the alcohol will mean my lining is terrible. We are meant to be transferring on Monday 27th.

I also finally shared with my friends that we’re going through IVF (two knew and two didn’t) and it’s just made me feel even more upset, because I just feel sad that I even have to share it. It felt like a weight on me all weekend so I just felt I needed to tell them.

So many parts of this are so hard.

Honestly, lovely, I'm sure it won't make a bit of difference. It's so rough - letting your hair down for an evening is probably what you needed.

Hey bless you. Hugs. The 27th is a while away yet so don't worry too much🙏. I hope you start to feel better having got rid of the weight of telling your friends. I know what you mean though I haven't told any of my friends yet but I want to. Just can't bring my self to do it. Well done for having the courage to tell the other two ❤️.

We told majority of friends last cycle, and from the first flicker of a positive test. It was lovely having the excitement but when we lost little bean, made it even harder to have so many people to tell. I think this cycle we are keeping quiet.

@Piapea im so sorry about your negative test. I would continue on with your meds because stranger things have happened.

Im also sorry to read about your chemical. That is so very hard and heartbreaking. I hope you are surrounded in love and support.

Back to the clinic on wednesday. Gosh this is just dragging on at this point. Couldn't even find ovaries today at all so had to rely on my labs. Got a call from the clinic this arvo and said something is happening slowly so they will see me again Wednesday and hopefully by then I can take my trigger.

The waiting around is very tedious, isn't it! Hope you can do something nice and distracting now.

Thanks @SarahAndQuack and @Needamiracle12. Still a bit teary today but feeling better. It’s like I’m embarrassed for telling my friends and I feel like I didn’t properly articulate how any of this feels even though I’ve thought about it all so much, I have the perfect phrasing for it. It’s hardest when you tell those closest to you I think.

Onwards and upwards I hope, got a scan tomorrow to see if my lining is ready.

Aww bless you. It's not easy for sure. Totally relate to the embarrassed feeling! I've hardly told any close family for the same reason. It's really nice to have a community on here though it helps. We're all in this together xx. I hope your scan goes well tomorrow xx
