Anyone Doing FET/IVF Cycles in November 2025?

[Mrsbutterfly24]

Hello ladies, anyone doing an FET or IVF next month? I am on a 3 month down regulation protocol and just did my last lupron depot injection yay! I start embryo transfer prep on the 1st of November, it will be nice to chat with anyone on a similar timeline for support and banter to get us through 😊 Xx

How was your test today @Wishingandwaiting2453 thinking of you x

Good Morning all, hope everyone is ok today 🩷 Just wondered if anyone had any options on my line progression, I do worry that there’s not much progression over the last couple days? (tests are dried now so obviously darker). OTD is not until Saturday so stuck in limbo and can’t talk to anyone and don’t want to worry my husband but just keep googling line progression 🙃

Ps….. abdominal cramps and tenderness have been pretty strong tbh so that doesn’t fill me with confidence

No these lines are perfect honestly and it’s positive you’re having cramps!! Just remember hcg won’t be that high anyway as it’s so early on! Mine has worried me as was super light for 6dp5dt and my sons was much darker, what do you think? I’m also not having any symptoms 😭 not sure whether to test again tomorrow or wait until my bloods Friday!

@NS05 think yours is a lot darker than mine I’m 4dpt so yours looks okay for 6
@Lizzieeeeeeeeeeeee thr line still looks good for where you are! I’d maybe try and wait another day and then compare the 48 hours but it’s so hard!

Thank you for the reassurance 🩷 I agree it’s so so early and this is the problem when we start with the early testing!

I think your test looks this mine last night before it fully dried tbh, my ones dry so much darker than any other test I’ve done. I also don’t have any tests left and I’m glad tbh, planning on leaving 24 hours this time.

Ive got a feeling my gastric symptoms are related to the progesterone, as you say unlikely the HcG would be high enough to be causing all this discomfort 🫣

Thanks @Peonies94 🩷, yes I agree with the waiting, I don’t have any tests left today so that’s a good I won’t feel tempted!

I’ve got no cramping at all so I’m considering myself out 😭😭

Hey! I didn’t really have any significant cramping until 3dpt, I did have some “twinges” at 2dpt and they felt kinda like sparks it was a strange sensation but again not painful. It was 3dpt that I started getting cramps I would say

@PlanBFertilityno it’s so early! You def can’t tell yet! I had a few mins cramping 3dp5dt but that’s been it! Don’t stress x

@PlanBFertility ive not really had anything either! So ease to drive ourself crazy with symptoms

I think I’m comparing to last cycle and looking back at chats I had with my sister and by now I was cramping loads, but I guess not two transfer are the same. This is torture 😂

@PlanBFertility it really is, I just want tomorrow morning to come now so I can do another test 😂

how is everyone today? I have my bloods tomorrow and feeling so anxious especially as I have hardly any symptoms/cramping. Hope everyone is doing well x

Just on my way back from clinic, had my progesterone checked (3dp5dt). Absolutely petrified it hasn’t worked….

@PlanBFertilityits honestly the worst this wait! Don’t worry if it goes down by the way mine did both times it was successful weirdly and they just made me take more and all was fine! X

It’s been one hell of a ride this IVF journey. Nearly a year to the day since my first collection.

Started brown spotting white heavily but just did this and def darker so hoping all is ok! So nerve wracking!

Wow @NS05 thats a fab BFP! So much darker than yesterday too, that must be such a relief 🩷 I’m going to try not test today, as yesterday I was looking at pictures of tests all day driving myself crazy (as we all do) I’m still struggling with bad stomach cramps and constipation which is super uncomfortable but just back from a long walk hoping that will help

Thank you I feel much more positive now. I actually just did my blood test now instead of tomorrow as they said it was fine if I wanted to. That way I can actually know my hcg level and stop doing these tests, I agree it’s driving me mad as I’m also googling and comparing!

sorry to hear your in pain but I do think cramps are a good thing as I always had them throughout the first 12 weeks! When do you think you’ll book a scan? I don’t know whether to do 6/7/8 weeks? I’m going to try and only do one as I’ve spent a fortune!

Aw thats amazing your clinic seems really good! Will you need to wait long for your results? I also wondered when people tend to stop taking pregnancy tests as they’re so expensive too!!

Well my OTD is Saturday and I’ve been asked to email in with my result, tbh I’m unsure of what follows that within an NHS clinic but I’m hoping for a scan around the 6 week mark 🙏 would be interesting if anyone who’s been through NHS protocol knows this

@NS05 thsts a great line! How many days post transfer are you?
I’m 5 DPT and think my line has got very slightly darker today! Bloods booked for next Wednesday!

Yes I’ll get them today and then will do another one Saturday to see if it’s doubled- they are £100 each so I’m not doing anymore than two. Then i think I’ll have a scan 7w which will be Xmas time!

I’m 8dpt now at 5dpt my line was similar to yours if anything lighter you could barely see it.

3dp5dt, BFN. To be expected but my gut says this transfer hasn’t worked.
