June IVF/FET 👶 🌟 ❤️

[PlanBFertility26]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone due a FET or starting IVF in June? Would be nice to speak to those in similar position.

This will be my 8th round of IVF -
Cycle 1 and 2 - No fertilisation
Cycle 3 - 3 blasts

• fresh #1 miscarriage at 7wks
• frozen #2 BFN
• Frozen#3 BFN

Cycle 4 - 4 blasts, 2 of which euploid.

Starting with my next period around the 22nd May

@mumtrovert let us know how your lining scan goes today?

How is everyone in the two week wait going? I’ve lost track a bit of who has already transferred

@TheNavyFatball I tested today and yesterday. Both negative so I’m 99% sure I’m out this time. I’m using the easy @ home tests which are highly sensitive so it should be showing by now, plus it was a 5 day hatching blast so should have implanted early if anything.

I’ll keep taking the progesterone and test again later in the week but it all seems more and more pointless.

I have 4 embryos left in the freezer (untested) but the whole thing seems impossible to me right now.

Hope you get better news! Hope we have some successes on this thread.

@InWithPeaceOutWithStress so sorry x

I’ve just had a look at the test I did earlier and I can see a line now. It could be an evap or maybe I discounted the result too quickly?

Ive just done another test and I can see a vvvfl. I’ve had nothing but stark whites in over 3 years... I’m afraid I’m getting too excited at what could be evap lines!

@SlightlyTerrifiedButPolite hope you’re still doing OK. It really is an emotional rollercoaster. @TheNavyFatball good luck for Thursday, I hope you’re doing OK too. Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you both.

@Sunnydaysahead1 I’m so sorry about your BFN 😞 look after yourself. 6 tries at this is just agony I’m sure. I’m sure your BFP will come ♥️ is there any other tests or protocols you could try?

@CMGC glad your lining scan went well. That’s excellent news. All being well tomorrow then we’ll be transfer buddies for the 16th! Echo what @Blueskycat said. I’d pick something you could cancel if you weren’t feeling up to it.. if it was positive and you wasn’t sure if you’d enjoy being away the same, etc.

@Blueskycat mine is tomorrow morning!

@InWithPeaceOutWithStress fingers crossed your faint line develops! What tests are you using? Happy to always assess tests if you need a second eye x

False alarm, back to a clear negative today. I’m using the easy @ home tests @mumtrovert, hope all goes well with your lining scan.

How are you getting on @TheNavyFatball, have you held out?

I’m sorry @InWithPeaceOutWithStress 💔

Lining scan all OK, between 8-9mm. Starting progesterone in the morning & transfer next Tuesday.

Those who take baby aspirin, how much do you take and when did you start taking it?

@InWithPeaceOutWithStressah I’m so sorry, I was really hoping you’d have better news this morning.

I have resisted testing, I almost don’t want to know. I feel I’m in a nice PUPO bubble and tomorrow I need to face the reality of the tests. Obviously it could be good, but it’s just so 50/50.

@Sunnydaysahead1I’m so sorry at your negative. Can’t imagine how devastating that is after so many tries, it’s just so unfair.

@mumtrovertthank you, how are you getting on with progesterone? I am def bloated! Great news about your lining though.

@mumtrovert 1 x 75mg. Started it when started my progesterone. So 36hrs post trigger

Ah I’m so sorry to hear your news @InWithPeaceOutWithStressand @Sunnydaysahead1. This really is the worst process to go through ❤️‍🩹

@TheNavyFatballsending you the very best of luck for tomorrow ✨. After my mad day 3 test I’ve also managed to stay PUPO… I am quite worried as my clinic doesn’t do a beta unless you get an at home positive (on either day 10 or day 12). So I went down a complete rabbit hole on Reddit looking for a test I felt I could trust (so I don’t spend ages trying to disprove a negative) and I’ve got some First Response Early Result tests… will see if that does stop me, anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️. I don’t have any symptoms, been starving but could be the change in weather or progesterone and I’m definitely less bloated than I was from (certainly compared to this time last week).

@mumtrovertim taking 75mg aspirin a day which started the morning after the transfer. Im glad your lining scan went well

@CMGCI think booking a holiday sounds like a fab idea tbh and as @Blueskycatsuggests you could book something cancellable for after the test date. Does your clinic do regular beta tests after a positive result? I’ve got a list of things I want to do if the transfer doesn’t work as a safety net (treats / days out / things I’ve been wanting to do but never got around to). But I actually really wish I’d gone away between transfer and test

@InWithPeaceOutWithStress @Sunnydaysahead1 very sorry again about this. Process Can be so unforgiving.

@mumtrovertdelighted your scan went well and we will be transferring together! Have my progesterone testing on Monday! What’s your protocol? I’m on cylogest pessaries twice a day and Lubion injections once a day as well as proceive Eltroxin and fematab. Don’t know how I’ll keep track!! Hopefully won’t have too many side effects!

@SlightlyTerrifiedButPoliteyes i have got free cancellation holidays booked I just know if it’s negative i will just want to get away from it all and enjoy a few drinks somewhere on the sun to reset!! If it’s positive I think I came in for a beta test 12 days after transfer I think. So was planning a holiday in that case after the test and before the seven week scan which I think is the next thing that would happen!

@TheNavyFatball you’ve done well to hold out this long. How many days post transfer will you be tomorrow? Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you. My symptoms on progesterone usually are bloating & sore boobs!

I think I’m going to find this 2ww really hard. I’ve had 3x positive tests (my DS, chemical & MMC) and then most recently in January a BFN. And I just knew .. I felt no different. No bloating, no heaviness in my uterus (which I’d felt before). My telltale sign has been to wake in the night to pee also. So even though I still had hope that my test could be positive and maybe I was one of those you see with BFP and zero symptoms, I just wasn’t surprised at all to see the negative test. If I start feeling nothing again I’m just going to convince myself I’m out and be so stressed waiting to see if any symptoms appear. Anyone else feel the same? Sorry if that’s insensitive to anyone PUPO right now. My friend who has had 2x successful transfers had zero symptoms for both hers.. so I know symptoms mean nothing. But I just felt that I knew the difference between the BFP and BFN personally.

@SlightlyTerrifiedButPolite good luck for your testing. When do you plan to test? The FRER tests are definitely the best out there and incredibly reliable. Also very sensitive tests so would show a BFP very early on.

@CMGC ooh lots to remember! I’m just on cyclogest twice a day, plus my estrogen patches still. Then I’ll take aspirin aswell. I’ve also got my progesterone blood test on Monday- usually they tell us the result just before transfer.

My little boy is also poorly!! He’s not usually ill much, lucky for us, but I swear every transfer he’s unwell either just before or just after 🫠🫠 I’m just trying my hardest not to catch anything!!

How are you getting on @blueskycat?

Had my Progesterone today, came back as 161. Transfer 11:30am Saturday. I am petrified.

That’s a high number @PlanBFertility26 everything crossed for you. Is this your first transfer? Sorry I can’t remember. The whole journey is petrifying but it’s all out of our hands and I just remind myself there’s nothing I can do to change the outcome so I just have to take one day at a time and try not to worry myself sick over something I can’t control. What will be will be. (I know that’s realistically a lot easier said than done!)

@mumtrovert
No, 4th transfer. 8th ‘round’. First with euploid so feels like a lot of pressure. Only have a miscarriage to show for all this hell so far.

@PlanBFertility26 Oh I’m sorry 😞 I can imagine you feel more pressure for it to work. The chances are much higher so I’m hoping this it IT for you, your happy ending. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@mumtrovertthank you so much. Tomorrow is 10dp5dt, and the date my clinic gave for testing. I weirdly almost don’t want to test as I’m in this little PUPO bubble and I know I need to face it tomorrow.
I don’t really feel any different, bloated and tender from the injections- I’m on clexane so I’m bruised. I always pee during the night any way so no changes there!
Bed soon and will see what tomorrow brings.

@SlightlyTerrifiedButPoliteI am the same, I’ve got the First Response for tomorrow and I got a digital test but I think they maybe aren’t as sensitive?

I feel in a bit of a daze tonight, ended up aimlessly walking the aisles at Sainsbury’s and then just having a wee sob when I passed the children’s clothes aisles. It’s definitely taking its toll!

Good luck for today @TheNavyFatball

can I join? I’m 5dp5dt and my boobs are smaller (!) so really not feeling hopeful! waiting to test until 7dp5dt but feeling despair

Hope everything is OK @TheNavyFatball

Hi @ivftrainee not long to go! Is this your first transfer?

yes first one - any advice to get me through this TWW. I had some early cramping (I assume from progesterone) but honestly my boobs feel deflated!

Good luck to all other June FETers!

@mumtrovert@PlanBFertility26

Thank you so much. Sharing this with as much sensitivity as possible, I was shocked and obviously delighted to have some positive news this morning.
Appreciate this is the first hurdle and the start of a new journey but keeping everything crossed.

I really hope we all get to where we want to be.

@TheNavyFatball oh congratulations that’s amazing news. So pleased for you!

@ivftrainee I wouldn’t expect any breast changes at this stage (or I don’t remember any personally!). Best advice I can give is to stay busy, try not to doom scroll, get your steps in, eat well & take each day as it comes.

@mumtrovert thank you - i know it’s early but honestly they are flat as pancakes (more so than usual)
what day are you in TWW - sending lots of positive vibes!

@TheNavyFatball massive congratulations!!

What amazing news to see @TheNavyFatball💫✨! Wishing you all the very best 💕. Does your clinic do betas?

Slightly losing the plot over here before test day tomorrow… keep swinging between it hasn’t worked and I’ll be devastated or worrying about another miscarriage

@ivftraineewelcome! I don’t think I could beat @mumtrovert’s advice and could have done with following that myself. They say the symptom spotting is pointless because of all the hormones we are taking, it skews things (and definitely driven myself slightly mad noticing everything) . Interestingly my boobs also aren’t as swollen post transfer and my bloating has gone down too. Doesn’t exactly make me feel very hopeful but tomorrow will tell!
