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

good luck today @Peonies94let us know how you get on!

@Lizzieeeeeeeeeeeeehow are you getting on? I find it going so slowly - 12 more days until my scan! Did you have yours booked in?

@NS05 Yes I’m fine thanks just super anxious and addicted to pregnancy tests lol, how have you been? Oh amazing news 12 days is so soon and lovely before Xmas 🥹 I still don’t have a date yet but have been told it will likely be the week following New Year at around 7 weeks. Think I will give myself heart attack before then

NS05 · 10/12/2025 11:16

@Lizzieeeeeeeeeeeee yes its an anxious time! I havent done any more tests since my bloods- im too scared and hardly have any symptoms! Hopefully it will come quickly and then can relax a bit after xmas! Did you sign up to your hospital yet?X

@NS05 your totally right not to test and your bloods have been so positive so no need! I think because I’ve not had the bloods I feel on edge, clear blue on Saturday was 1-2 weeks then today was 2-3 weeks. Just hoping that next week might get that 3+ then I think I will settle 🙏 (I think lol)

I also don’t have any symptoms but I have been getting cramps over the last 2 days that make me worried period is just about to come so that’s unsettling!

ps just got email to confirm date of 08/01/26 for our first scan 💫

I've had one successful FET and got mild cramping as things grew. I gradually calmed down but didn't feel too settled until 20 week scan and then settled more at 8 months and then fully settles once baby was born. I hope you settle much sooner than me.

I also had strong bleeding at 10 weeks and panicked. But pregnancy hormones make the vaginal skin thinner and IVF meds make it even thinner... very easy to tear if getting a tiny bit romantic. It was 24hrs after romance that the bleeding started. So just to say, trust your gut to get stuff checked but try take it a step at a time and don't be hard on yourself if you don't immediately settle and glow. I personally felt the whole pregnancy felt like an illness.

@CollsR thank you for the reassurance I really appreciate it 💕! I’m really trying to be positive and grateful as I know how lucky I am even to be in this position and I do hope to settle soon 🙏

So sorry to hear about your pregnancy experience although glad to hear it ended positively for you 🫶. I’ve quickly realised that a positive test is only half of the story!!

So I did one of the CB today (don’t know why) and it was 2-3 weeks, I’m now spiralling because it says 3 plus is 2700 which I should be by now as my hcg on Sunday was 800- technically should be 3200 if doubling every 2 days. Do you think they are accurate? It was only after a two hour hold so I’m thinking maybe not concentrated enough?

was yours 2-3 yesterday as I think were at the same stage? X

@NS05 I had been wondering this also but if you look on the instructions, being 4 weeks 5 days today we should only be sitting between 2-3 and should only have 3+ when 5+ weeks? I was thinking that they can’t have a test saying people have further on than they are surely?

Ps yes, mine was 2-3 weeks yesterday and would hope by maybe Sunday to have 3+

Yes you’re right, I think because my levels were so high before I thought it would be 3 plus by now as I read the threshold for hcg was 2700 (for 3+) which I would assume I was over (I was 801 four days ago so should be 3200+ by now). I actually was spiralling so went down the road to get another hcg test to put my mind at ease. Should hopefully find out soon if all is ok. I did read those tests are not always accurate so hoping that’s the case for me!

@NS05 I have checked on a few forums and a lot of people don’t get the 3+ on clear blue until 5+2 right up to 6 so I’m sure all will be fine 🙏

Oh really ok that’s good to know! I was feeling super calm until today I swear these tests send you into a panic 😂😂

Just to say my levels came back at 5348! It says you need to go above 2700 to get a 3+ so it’s definitely wrong! I did two as well! Don’t worry at all if you don’t get the 3 plus as it’s definitely not right- worried all day for nothing!

Peonies94 · 12/12/2025 06:35

@NS05 great levels, so glad it’s all okay, such a worry for you though!

@NS05 that’s amazing numbers 🤩!! Yeah I did take another clear blue and still said 2-3 weeks but only 4+6 today so I’m not surprised. I think they tests are notorious for being anxiety promoting 😅

Yes dont even bother with them I can’t believe it said the threshold is 2700 for 3+ when mine was over 5000, I read so many people saying the same thing. At least you know not don’t be worried if it doesn’t change!
