Mrs W I'm on day 4 of stims. Feeling ok but stomach feels really heavy. How are you feeling?

 

[amoreamy]

Mo- I'm sorry about your news, I really wasn't expecting that. Lets keep hopeful for your frosties

Aurora- congrats on your blasts! Now the long wait till Tuesday!

Comfy: I think its only natural to feel like that but keep hopeful. Treat yourself kindly

ilt: not long till your next scan, you'll be able to see so much more then, very exciting

CMO and Mrs W: how are stims going?

Lizzie: I hope they're getting nicely tucked in in there, I think I will be the same as you when it comes to testing, it's best to stay in the happy place of not knowing!

Jaybo: hope you're doing okay

Sorry if I've missed anyone.

AFM On my fifth day of stims, and I'm not really feeling anything different yet. I was expecting to start inflating or something! I have my next blood tomorrow so I'm hoping to respond better than the first two days as the nurse said I needed a boost. Diplomatic code for I'm not responding very well, so fingers crossed that it's improved!

 

[lizzie78]

Amoramy hard not to worry but if you aren't on track tomorrow I'm sure they will just play around with your dosage. I took a little extra time to respond my first time around but upping the dose worked and everything was fine x

Libby, thank you and take care xxx

CMo, looks like you and amoreamy are pretty close in progress. When's your next scan?

Xxx

 

[Aurora CHK]

I never felt anything until around day 10/11 of stims (& some ladies don't even take them that long)

Bumpsparkle -- EVIL AF!

Mobaby -- I am so so sorry to hear about the bfn

Beth -- Any news? Hope you are okay.

Lizzie -- I am doing okay. Thank you!! Hope the cramping is a good sign.

Aurora -- Great news on 5-day transfer! Wooo. Those three embies are definitely fighters!

Comfy -- Hope you get some good news!


:wave: to anyone I missed!!

Hope scans go well today star and amore.

Glad to hear you're doing ok libby.

Thanks for all the encouragement. I had a lovely dream that I found out I was pregnant so was all hopeful when I woke up and caved in and tested. Bfn. So regretting it now-instead of chilling out and relaxing all day I'll be spending it crying. I'm 9dp3dt so I know there's an outside chance things could change by otd (thursday).

 

[CMo]

Yea amoreamy we're pretty close in our cycle, I'm on day 5 of stimms today. First scan since starting is tomorrow. Fingers crossed all is going well!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Comfy
What test are you using? On 10 days I only got the faintest of faint BFPs on FRER and nothing on anything else xxx

 

[lizzie78]

Comfy A lot of people dont get positives until 13 dpo and even then they are faint so please don't give up yet. Its still possible over the next couple of days. Its easy to get a distorted view of what is normal on here. That said my heart is breaking for you today as even if you get that bfp tomorrow it doesn't make you feel any better right now. Aurora is right, which brand of test are you using?xxx

 

[Comfycushions]

Thanks Aurora. Was just an ic. Think I'm going to get a first response and test wed and before going to the clinic on thurs.

Saw a tiny bit of bright red blood earlier tho.

 

[Comfycushions]

I replied but when I refreshed screen it disappeared. Don't know if it'll turn up later!

It was just an ic. I think I'm going to drag myself out the house, some fresh air might help and I can buy a first response to use before going to the clinic on thurs.

Had a teeny bit of bright red blood earlier-i know it could just be irritation from those hideous pessaries, or nothing, but I'm worried.

 

[Comfycushions]

My post did turn up again. I'm cursed today. Getting back in my hole.

 

[MoBaby]

Comfy those ics can be tricky. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Wasn't someone else getting beta today also?

I had mine drawn, test was faint this am so expecting under 5. Is what it is. Nurse will tell me plan when she calls. Looks like when aF arrives we will do scratch biopsy and get with March af.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Comfy, IC is definitely not as good as FRER. I had a clear line with FRER and still needed to squint w/ IC. Didn't get dark at all even when it was a dark line w/ FRER. Then, I ran out of IC . Hopefully it was an implantation bleeding.

Mo, glad to hear that you have a plan for the next transfer.

Beth, how are you?

Hope everyone else is well.

Hi everyone!

Wow this thread moves fast!

I had a call back from my clinic yesterday, they do scans on Thursday and as my pain hadn't got any worse they (and me) were happy to wait.

They're going to call on Wednesday to see if the pains have passed. If they have then they said i don't have to go in until my viability scan on 5th March. That would be preferable as i live 2 hours away from the clinic and my DD is on half term. They said if they get worse, i bleed or i have shoulder pain i have to call them back.

It's a sharp stabbing pain right by my ovary on my right side.

At the moment though i'm just happy i have no bleeding.

I wish i had more symptoms though

Comfy - IC's aren't anywhere near as clear as FRER, you can google image search for pregnancy tests at 9dp3dt and they're all so faint.

Mo - I'm so sorry it's not worked for you. It's so devastating when it doesn't work, my heart goes out to you. xx

ILT - How are you doing? When do you have your scan?

CMO - Good luck with the scan tomorrow!

Amoreamy - I hope the bloods were ok today?

Libby - I'm sending lots of luck for your next cycle!

BMW, Lizzie, Bump, Star, Mrs W I hope you're all ok?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Beth! So glad to hear from you and everything sounds ok so far. Regarding symptoms, just wait....mine got worse when I hit 6 weeks. . My second U/S is on the 25th...a week and a half away. I'll be 8 weeks 3 days and hope that everything is alright in there. Wait...do they not offer early scan? My first scan was 6 weeks 2 days and you'll be over 8 weeks along by the time you get your first?

Yes that is the early scan they're offering :/

Maybe i could contact a private scanning place?

Maybe my ticker is out, do i go by my LMP? or my EC? My first day of my last period was 12th Jan, but my EC wasn't until 30th Jan.

Comfy, hoping that it's just too early for you, the ladies are right though with the ics, not that ive ever had a bfp but ive seen so many people say they had nothing on them but a bfp on a better brand

Amore, hope all is well tomorrow, I'm sure they will adjust your meds if need be so all keeps on track

Lizzie, hope little ones are snuggling in nicely!

Beth, glad to hear the pain isnt any worse, sounds like it's from all the meds and all the ivf business does all sorts to us!

Bumpsparkle, what did clinic say about af? If it hasn't arrived, hope your ok

Afm, had my scan today, lining wasnt ready as they like it to be over 8mm and mines 7mm, at baseline it was 4.6mm so getting there! Go back next tues, the nurse said it should be fine by then so transfer will be the following tues, for anyone whos had a FET what was your lining?

 

[BethK]

Thanks Star!

Going by your lining growth from baseline to now it sounds like you should be well away by next week!

Sorry i can't remember what mine on my FET in 2013
