The waiting game 🤔

Hi everyone I have been reading through these posts for a while and wanted to contribute my story. I started my ivf journey in January I did 3 EC's before any transfer took place which was ok but quite gruelling trying to manage that with a very demanding job! Anyhow I managed to get 6 eggs, 2 day 5 and 4 day 3 (on mild stims) I had one FET in June that failed and I am now coming to the end of my 2 WW from my second transfer. I had a better outlook this time and overall felt the procedure went well. First day or two after transfer I had bad cramping which continued lightly 3 -4 days after transfer and boobs sore however I now don't have any symptoms? Did anyone else experience this? I have my test on Tuesday and I am now starting to drive myself mad!!!!! The last transfer I came on my period before my test day so now I am hoping for a positive test but don't want to get my hopes up! It's been great being able to read all the stories and has really helped, so here is mine and I hope I can end it well!!! Sending positive vibes to you all on this journey of great expectations! ✌️

Thank you for the well wishes! So my result was not positive I came on my period on test day (yesterday). I felt differently this time (last cycle I had bfn but kinda expected it) but this time I felt good but it just wasn't meant to be for us. Both of us are really devastated but we have to be positive and look to the next opportunity!! I still have 4 in the freezer and next time I am thinking of endo scratching has anyone had this done? Is it painful? Anyway looks like next transfer will be October so am going this get myself in shipshape ready. Some advice for you all this time I used hypnosis to relax (relaxation has been a struggle for me) I used Helen McPherson (British) cd which is amazing and also Bree Taylor (Aussie)which you can download both were excellent and have left me in a calmer place even following the bad news. I have seen a couple of success stories today which definitely makes me more hopeful! Now I am going to treat myself to a large glass Of red wine!! Best wishes to you all xxxx

Sorry to hear of your bfn. They're really tough going. Great news that you have 4 frosties!

In regards to the endo scratch I've had two (outta three). The first time wasn't too bad the second time was more painful but I'd definitely recommend getting one done. From two scratches I've had two bfps. Good luck with your fet xx
