So.... made it this far with no blood which am guessing is a good sign. Figured out with my normal cycle my period would have been here by now, 03/08. But would I need to count it from the bleed I had just before stimming? If so then that would mean period due same day as OTD .... 13/08....
As you can tell mind is in overdrive 😂😂😂😂
Determined not to test early due to not wanting to put myself though anymore unnecessary anxiety.
I know you shouldn’t get symptoms so early and they can be side effects of progesterone but am very tired, sore boobs, up middle night to pee, backache & cramping.
Please please let this be my happy ever after cycle 🙏🏻😀🍀🤞🏼

My second cycle when I had my BFP I didn’t had cramps they come after but I had like on and off period pain and little bit pink and brown spotting on day 6 and on 3rd day I had this strong sense of smell . Few days before OTD I couldn’t drink hot chocolate or even eat lemon cake ...it tease so so sweet 😝
Hold on hun not long to go . I wish u massive BFP 🙏xx
I remember when I had my BFP couple days before OTD I was so worry if works ...day before I cry because I didn’t had any symptoms... and night before ...omg I was 99% sure that soon I get up from a bed I’m gonna have a period ...I had so much pain...and when I dip the test and come out two lines I cry and hubby had tears ...
I think this is something that u know to the details and will always stay in my mind to remember ☺️
I booked appointment with my GP for 2morrow to ask if I can have a blood taken on day 21 to check progesterone...
I will not see my doctor in clinic till beginning of September so I got “time”to find out or do some more research what other test I can have done.
But u hun stay positive and try to relax .
When is your OTD? Xx
This sounds like good signs so fingers crossed, I had to test 11 days post 5 day transfer so I would say it’s not early to get symptoms wishing u all the very best xx
I’ve just had the same thing! It must be that some people just respond better to different drugs. Really glad I pushed to change as my clinic refused last time and were reluctant this time. Got 13 eggs today where-as previous cycles (on Meriofert, similar to Menopur apparently, got 8, 5 then 9 eggs). Just praying for better quality now as this has been a major problem for us in the past, so probably our last shot with my own eggs.
I was told that you are due a period 14 days after egg collection, but my test dates have always been 14 or 15 days after a 3 day transfer too and when I did have a positive it was pretty faint so not convinced it would have come up much earlier. Hope that helps! Fingers and toes are crossed for you 🤞☘️ xx
Hey am glad you pushed it too. I was so annoyed my consultant said put me on Menopur as case studies say better quality for my age .... got 1 egg when every other cycle had 5-8. At 43 she convinced me was age factor and not the drugs as they kept insisting not much difference. When in fact my manic research said yes of course they are very different. Still stings as we only got 1 grand back out of 4 when I feel it was not my decision to go on Menopur. This time the nurses were shocked with my results and all can see my point now.
Thanks so much for your advice, so 14 days after EC would be today..... let’s hope it’s never coming 🙏🏻
Good morning! I am 8dp5dt today so we are at almost the same stage. I was born in 76 too was you? I'm exactly the Same as you the first 6 days I breezed through it but now im constantly googling my symptoms and checking for a bleed 🙈. This is my 4th round and only one was successful the last two were miscarriages. It's so hard isnt it to get through the days. Your symptoms sound very positive too I've had backache but I get the that before af so Its hard to know anything yet 😢. My otd is weds! So far away 😫 xxx
Yes born 1976 so would imagine same as you as 43 really feeling like this last chance with my own eggs. We are very similar I think with our IVF history. This is my 5th transfer 🙈 My very first round aged 39 well I hit the bloody jackpot and my son is now 3. Since then had 2 x failed FETs, 1 miscarriage and 1 failed cycle x
Yes our stories are very similar! How have you been today? I keep feeling like my periods going to come do you? Are your boobs sore? Mine are but I'm on progynova and cyclogest. With both my miscarriages I tested early and got positives so a positive is just the beginning for me. Looked after my baby great neice today was amazing but my neice is now pregnant with her 4th I know it shouldn't but it really upsets me why I have to fight so hard for something most people get so easily 😪 hope your ok xxx
Hey am up & down today this morning had a very small amount of brown stringy bits (sorry tmi) but you know what I mean ? Had cramps too. Been googling like mad, hoping is just the pessaries....my boobs are quite sore and lower back pain.
I know exactly what you mean, of course am happy for people who do not have to go through what I do for babies. Still stings though slightly when I hear them saying was accidental or it’s so easy...... if only 😘
I would love to have the brown discharge! I had it with my success plus some pink spotting. I haven't had any this time round which is worrying me. Brown discharge is a really good sign at this stage. Has it stopped? Oh and I remember with mine I had the cramps too so I'd see it as a positive! Are you keeping yourself busy? I have been out all day today so not had time to think or keep knicker checking. I totally know how your feeling big hugs and keep positive. Xxxx
Knicker checking 😂😂😂😂. I have been out & about today at a play barn with son. Been nipping to the toilet frequently but was only that once earlier today. I thought may be late implantation blood but also know it’s extremely rare. Let’s hope that & the cramps is a great sign. With my Very first BFP .... I had absolutely no discharge or bleeding so I think fact you haven’t is a good sign too 🤞🏼
Sounds like implantation to me. I have everything crossed for you and at least we only have a few more days until we know for sure. Its comforting to know it's not just me going through this. I very often feel like an alien to everyone else around me. I really hope this is the last time we need to go through all this. Thinking of you ❤
Don’t really have any advice on whether the symptoms are a good sign or not. I’m 7DP 3DT - feeling your pain in this horrid 2ww. Your mind really does play tricks on you. On my last round of ICSI I started bleeding day 9 or 10 after a 2DT. So fingers crossed no blood so far is a good thing. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope the next few days go quickly.
Really hope this is your BFP. Today is my OTD but I’ve tested throughout so it’s just a formality to get my BFN as I already know. The only thing preventing my bleed is the progesterone suppositories. Each night at about 1am I’m in awful pain so I know my period is trying to start.
Am so very sorry you had a BFN it is just the worst news, having had it twice now I know how bloody heartbreaking it is. Wishing you lots of luck going forward.....
I did think the pessaries May be stopping the bleed too although my last transfer I did bleed frequently and did get BFP which sadly ended in miscarriage. Praying for better outcome this time x
If it’s any help - with my bfp I had brown spotting from day 12.. you are day 13 ... sounds really positive 🤞🏻🤞🏻xx
Thanks Daisy I hope so. Had absolutely nothing except a very small stringy brown bit when wiping today. Nothing since. The suspense is killing me but not long to go now 🙏🏻🤞🏼🍀
Hey lady. I’m 9dp3dt today so just behind you. I’d been testing early but seeing the negatives was too much so I’m just going to wait for my bloods on Monday. Can’t face another stick! Sending you so much luck. As we’re both 43 I know how you feel. I’ve had cramps since transfer so no idea what to think and emotionally so up and down! Wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone xx
Hey, was just thinking you would be testing tomorrow..... but I know exactly what you mean. I find the first week drags then want the second week to slow the f**k down 😂
Today I had a tiny stringy bit of brown discharge. At first was feeling this is awful then realised may be the implantation bleeding then again could just be residue from the damn pessaries.
I think fact we are both having cramping is a good sign. We have to focus on the positives.... we got this
Aw thanks lass. It’s so hard!! I feel great again this morning. My moods are all over the shop. Had sharp twinges on my LHS last night and this morning but probably gas! 😜
Yeah pink or brown is great. I got nada. Just white. Boobs of doom and cramps.
I track my temp and other vitals using the Ava watch and was upset yesterday as temps had fallen but creeping back up again today so not out yet!
Defo not testing. I have a load of materials and schemes of work to get together for back to school on Monday so just need to focus as much as I can.
Will keep me out of trouble
Good luck to you. Your blood test is Tuesday right? Will you POAS this weekend?
Yep am a moody so and so feel sorry for my partner but he knows the score by now 😂
Just been reading up only one third of women get implantation bleeding it is a good sign to have no spotting or bleeding too 😀
I never thought to track temp am glad yours is going up again.
My clinic don’t do blood tests. I just POAS for my result with the kit they gave me. OTD is Tuesday 🙈. Although my partner goes back to work Monday so thinking of doing it Sunday. Spoke to clinic they doubted couple of days early would make much difference.
These symptoms are very reassuring! Having to pee in the night is not related to progesterone either is it?? Stay positive as mindset is so important and powerful. I’ve got everything crossed for you. X
Thank you so much. Been very up & down feel awful as keep having a go at my partner 🙈 you are right got to focus on the positive signs. 😀 Never usually up through night to toilet but guess drinking more water just now. Your right probs not from the progesterone 🤞🏼
I’m on a long down reg and I’ve just started the stims. I’ve got my first follicle check on Monday to see how many follicles I have...I am notorious for having only one or two eggs at retrieval. I am lucky as we managed to fall pregnant with a double transfer 2 years ago so I am blessed with a daughter. Like you, I’m also trying to give my child a sibling ...
Wishing you best of luck with your first follicle scan. Oh wow double transfers rock 😀 Only way I have ever got a BFP. I know we are truly blessed with 1 child but then our focus moves to that longing to give them that precious sibling. Hoping we both achieve our dreams x
Yes I had it too with my first BFP but also remember similar and was convinced and it was a BFN with one of my frozen transfers. So am cautiously optimistic🤞🏼 Your right he knows it’s the stress x
