Hi Ladies! Just wanted to pop in with my FET results. I caved and tested early and the second line came up pretty quickly! Then I had my beta on Friday at 7dp5dt, so two days earlier than the normal 2 week wait and my number came back at 127. I have another beta on Monday and I'm hoping and praying it jumps up! With my last FET my first beta was 375 at 9dp5dt so I'm nervous but hopeful!! :thumb up: With my first FET we transferred two embies and we think they both took but we lost one very early. This time we only transferred one.

Hope everyone is doing great in the cycles and if you could send some sticky my way I'd really appreciate it!!

1babydreamer- congratulations on being pregnant.

Thank you Hun!! I'm so nervous still. Not out of the woods yet!! I have had a rocky past getting through the first few weeks! I'm staying cautiously hopeful.

Stat positive, take it one day at a time. I'm excited for you.

Congrats babydreamer! FX for a good increase Monday.

Well I just finished my mandated 2 days of rest and am now back to light activity. The clinic called and a third one of the embies made it to blast so they froze that one too. So we now have 3 frozen blasts.

Awesome for 3 frozen blasts. How are you feeling? Any symptoms. These 2ww is so tough.

First beta came back at 66! Pretty good for 3 weeks and 5 days pregnant I think, and MUCH higher than last time (27 at over 4 weeks). I go back in on Sunday to check for doubling. FXed!

Congrats Krissy!!!

I had my mock transfer to help dilate my cervix (apparently it's too tight) it was so painful. My cervix curved two catheters 😳 but eventually the doctor got through to it (Thank God) and injected water into my cervix. My egg transfer is on Monday, I'm worried and excited. She said the embryos are looking good, that there are 5 that have survived. Monday will be the 5 day embryo transfer 😊

It's good your clinic did a mock transfer to better figure out ahead of time how it'll go. Mine didn't and I was so nervous as for HSG the setup for the catherer was painful due to a polyp on my cervix and having to navigate around it. I warned them before transfer and they must have been more prepared as it didn't hurt. So I am hoping that they will have it much smoother for you on Monday.

Congrats!!!

Thank you all for responding about COQ10 after transfer. I stopped at retrieval but wasn't sure. It helps to hear other's perspective


AFM today had blood work to test on the progesterone etc and got call back all normal. Blood test for pregnancy is next Saturday. I'm obviously going crazy over each symptom and googling. Had chills right as they were wheeling me out after transfer and stayed for a few hours (wore socks at home). twinges on day of and yesterday. Mostly resting in bed. Sometimes still get cold. But right now I'm feeling hot...now need ac I think. Sometimes feel bit like maybe low blood pressure/woosy. Some plugged ears thing this am too. And mostly very tired and sleepy at times so just resting a lot. Most twinges have stopped today. Yesterday had some AF like light cramps too.

I pray little tiger and sticky beans snuggle in and get really comfy.

time for another nap lol....

Congrats baby dreamer, that is an excellent beta for 7dp5dt!

 

[N8ie]

Ps- thank you. And little tiger and sticky beans will stick, having fingers crossed for you. And yes please rest and eat 'warm, hearty meals'

Ps: no symptoms really for me. Well other than ones caused by the progesterone, but I had them before transfer too. Feeling pretty blah. I was bad and did an early ic test with mid morning urine and bfn. I know it's early but still felt like there should be something there by now 4dp5dt.

 

[Renaendel]

4dp5dt is so early, no one really shows at 3dp5dt and only the squintiest of squinters for early hcg shows at 4dp5dt. You are not out! Don't expect a real squinter until 5 or 6d at the earliest.

 

[ps57002]

Thanks n8ie. Fx for ur transfer monday. Almost here though feels so far away...

Crystal from all my obsessive Googling it seems days 3 and 4 post 5 day transfer is when implantation may be finishing so today is too early for you. You are not out. The Hcg has to build up now. I think I will try resist as much as can and wait for bloodwork on Saturday. I'm afraid to see bfn. That's all I've ever seen in my past.

That is so early, please don't fret! You're not out yet! I'm such a chicken about testing because I've seen so many white tests that I almost didn't even test before my beta and only ended up testing the day before. With my first FET that we got our boy from, I didn't even believe the positive test! I was so negative and expecting another MC that even after my second beta jumped I didn't quite believe I was pregnant!

Sending you tons of sticky

 

[Christie2011]

ps - cramping is good! I had lots of cramping after my FET.

In the past I've read that usually after a 5dt it takes two days for the embryo to implant and then at least another two days before any measurable hcg is in your system (for blood). And then it has to be enough to make it to urine and at a higher concentration. So not out yet. Crystal.

Hi girls hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I went for my baseline yesterday and I was certain that he'd found cysts or something because he was poking around in there forever and printing off pictures!

Fear not though, everything was fine to go ahead and start stimming he was concerned though about how high a dose I was on of Merional. He found over 20 follies on one ovary alone and fears that of I start off on a higher dose of stims that I'm going to over respond. So I've been lowered to 2 capsules rather than 3 to start with. He said he is certain that I will respond well!

Started stims last night, not as bad as I was expecting. In fact it was painless, though stung a little afterwards

Baby dreamer congrats!!

Ps good luck in your 2WW your symptoms sound promising already!

Xx

I am the exact same I am 4dp5dt and the only "symptoms" I am having is a very sore boobs but I'd say that would be from the progesterone.. i've also been cramping alot... which makes me think that af is going to come which I hope it doesn't.

Don't lose hope your still not out yet fx you get some lovely lines soon.

 

[N8ie]

Hi ladies

Tomorrow is my embryo transfer and I am so nervous, you would think it's the first time I have one. 😁

Trying to remain calm.

 

[crystal8]

I have maybe MAYBE a shadow on my high sensitive ic. I tried to upload a pic to my journal but lost too much resolution. Blah. At least it gives me hope. Thanks ladies for all the encouragement! This group is so amazing.

 

[Renaendel]

If you want a second eye, I will totally take a text or an email. Just PM me and I'll send you the details. I am all for pee stick porn!

Your embies are going to do so well at transfer N8ie. Remember they are fighters!

MissCassie, cramping I hear is a good sign. Fx we have many more babies to add to this thread.

Tina, wow 20 follies! Good call on the vial. So cool all of us doing this at once.

I am having a minor freakout. I have a fiber requirement to meet each day with my autoimmune. So I had been adding flaxseed to stuff. Turns out it blocks your estrogen. I couldn't figure out why I went from no blood to needing a pad or two a day. It totally screwed up my bcp. I caught it with 4 days off before I go off bcp, but I wonder what this means for my cycle. I guess I'll know at baseline on Friday, but I am terrified I won't respond as well now, start early or have cysts. I am also a little pissed at my self. I mean I don't drink teas because of this stuff, why didn't I check the new food.
