Hi everyone,
I couldn’t sleep as was so anxious to test so we tested and it’s a BFP!! I am in complete and utter shock and beyond happy. I honestly thought this transfer had failed because I had no symptoms. I just can’t believe it, I thought we were out.
I wanted to share with all of you my experience, in the event it could help/reassur anyone else.
This was my third transfer (second frozen transfer). Unlike my first two this time around I had very little symptoms and when I say little I mean I think I had the odd twinge over the 2ww. Whereas with my other two I had much more symptoms cramps, headache, backache.
This difference was and I don’t know if it came down to luck or the changes made.
1. I started taking high dose of vitamin D (recommended by the menopause specialist not the fertility doctor as I have premature ovarian failure).
2. I started taking iron and vitamin C supplements, again recommended by my menopause specialist.
3. My fertility clinic did the transfer three days earlier than we had previously done.
4. I had two dominant follicles growing, which I never had before. I never had even one.
Difference in symptoms:
1. The other transfers I had a light brown bleed immediately after transfer. This time I had light brown-red blood when I wiped once about ten hours after transfer
2. No real symptoms other than feeling bloated and constipation - which is probably do to the pessaries
3. I saw brown blood when I wiped once 10dpt5dt. My clinic said nothing to worry about it. But I just want some further reassurance? I’m hoping this is nothing really to worry about? So any reassurance would be great 😊
Also this was the medication protocol I was on and was the same for all three transfers:
1. Three cyclacur (estrogen) a day
2. Prednisone
3. Clexane injection
4. Aspirin
5. Utrogestan 6 time’s a day (200mg x six times) Four vaginally and two orally. I have really low progesterone.
I am going to get my hcg tested in the morning - any ideas what it should be?
Lastly, since I’ve never had a bfp I have no idea what to do now? Do I go see my GP and notify him? As my fertility clinic is in Athens they have given me a medication protocol to follow for the next 11 weeks and what blood tests to do over next few days. But what else am I to do? I’ve read about women getting scans done, when is that?
Sorry I know I have thrown in lots of questions as well!
