Day 6 into FET cycle and feeling like crap...

[mushy19]

Hi guys...

I’m just here for a lil winge today especially as you are the only people that know that we’ve actually began our second round.

I’ve decided not to tell a soul this time around as I found it so difficult keeping people updated last time and it only got worse when we eventually lost it and I had to relive it over and over as people wanted every detail.😩

Praying we do get another BFP I’m hoping to keep it to ourselves at least until viability scan.

We have a small but very close family so not much gets past them... me refusing a glass of wine gave the game away last time so I do plan to accept any wine offered this time and water the plants😂💦 .

It’s day 6... of Progynova and I have a dull headache behind my eyes..🤕 Bloated tummy and AF like cramps.

Really glad it’s the weekend as I haven’t felt like doing nothing at all today but laze around and surf the internet. I finally feel like I’ve seen and read everything FET related on google.😂😩

Another scan booked for Monday so hopefully all this cramping is actually thickening my lining.

Sorry you're feeling crap 🙁 Progynova gave me horrid headaches but only for a couple of days and then they stopped so hopefully yours will get better too.

Everything crossed for you. Make sure you vary which plants you 'water' - too much wine and they'll keel over which will be almost as suspicious 😂

Thankyou, I hope so too... just as things were going so well with no side effects.

Oh goshhhh I didn’t think about killing the plants 🌱 off 😂😂😂 I might need to think of a plan no2. Xxx

Hi mushy. Make sure you drink plenty of water, it can help. Good luck! Diane

Thankyou Diane... I will be trying a lot harder with my water intake as I don’t usually drink much of it 🤭

Hi mushy sorry to hear your feeling crappy xx just wanted to wish you good luck lovely xxx I’ll keep absolutely everything crossed for you 😘😘

[mushy19 in reply to Stephybivf]

Thankyou so much... I woke up feeling a lot better today... yesterday was awful. Xxx

Just wanted to wish you loads of luck, hope your lining as playing ball! Hopefully those side effects settle down too.xx

[mushy19 in reply to Cinderella5]

Oooh Thankyou Cinderella... The side effects has settled down thankfully as yesterday I was so nauseous as well as the headache.

Just left the clinic and now totally deflated. They have said not to worry but how can I not.

My ovaries are not totally asleep as I have two follicles @10mm and they don’t like to see them over 10....

and my lining is only 4.7 which they would have expected thicker if my body was absorbing the medication properly.

Just got to wait on a call back from the the consultant to tell me what to do next x 😔

[Cinderella5 in reply to mushy19]

Glad that you are feeling a bit better. Gosh this is all so stressful isnt it! How much progynova are you on? Its still early days and there is still the opportunity to up the dose and they can keep you on it for longer. My body is a bugger at responding to meds. I had a follicle on one of my FET's but it didnt grow any bigger. Hopefully the clinic come back to you with a plan soon.xx

[mushy19 in reply to Cinderella5]

He’s completely doubled the dose... So fingers crossed that works with the lining..🤞🏾He didn’t mention the follicles tho.. maybe he really isn’t worried about them growing larger. Thanks so much for the support... I appreciate it x

[Cinderella5 in reply to mushy19]

That's good! Well I'm always on a high dose (usually start on 8mg per day, 4 tablets) which stops ovulation so try not to worry about that part! Hopefully at your next scan you'll see a big difference!🤞🏻xx
