5dp5dt - cm question (TMI)

[Chickensoup85]

Hello,

I have convinced myself and my DH that our first IVF cycle is a failure. I am 5dp5dt and all 'symptoms' have disappeared. I am no longer getting the cramps which I had on days 1-3 (clearly a reaction to the catheter, just like the nurse said would happen) and my boobs, which were really sore since taking the Menopur, are now almost back to normal.

However, the most clear sign for me that it's over, is my cm. It is exactly the same as it would at this point in my cycle, a couple of days before af is due. What are other people experience with cm? I'm looking for both positive and negative stories please.

Everything I read is that when people got their BFP they had lots of creamy, lotion like cm; however, I just have the usual tiny about of sticky cm.

Please help, I'm going out of my mind! I don't think I'll even get a chance to test

I'm so sorry you are discouraged Hun . I'm in the same boat so I can't really boost your confidence but I do know that with all the drugs we're on with IVF things aren't always what they seem.
Fingers crossed for you!!

For me when I got my bfp, I had no symptoms at 5dp5dt other than the cramping in the initial 3 days. I'm pregnant with twins and didn't get any symptoms till second tri. And I only had any cramping at around 7-8 weeks pregnant. Xxx

I am always hungry!! But that could just be the prednisone I'm on.
I really don't feel a bit pregnant but who knows? My back is sore and I'm tired but that could be from work or my period coming... I hate waiting, I just want to know! I'll definitely update

 

[kazzab25]

Aweee sounds good to me! But yep could be a number if things but all I kept saying was but I don't feel very pregnant!!!!

Hello, just a quick update in case anyone find this on google in years to come and wants to know the outcome!

After posting, cm dried up completely and there was nothing for 2 days. From 7dp5dt I started getting horrible period pains, and I mean identical to period pains. At around that time, I started getting more watery cm (not loads, just a normal amount).

Today, at 11dp5dt, I got my bfp! I can't believe it! I was so sure my period was going to start well before my OTD.

Yes I did and so did you!! Yay!!! See? We worried for nothing, lol. My first beta came back 105 at 9dp5dt. I'm over the moon and on . Still nervous to see it rise though so second beta is tomorrow! Fingers crossed for me!! What was your first beta or have you had one yet?

Kazza, Thanks so much for making me feel better and hope you're doing well!

 

[Chickensoup85]

No beta, just a hpt (or two!). Clinic have never mentioned a beta so guess they don't do it, just a scan at 6 weeks.

Good luck with your second beta!

 

[1babydreamer]

Going in for my second one today and so nervous! Rise beta rise!!

 

[kazzab25]

Congratulations!!! I'm so pleased! Had a good feeling!!!!

I'm very well thank you!!!!
