Hey my lovely ladies hope you are all doing well.

I’m doing FET this month with my last remaining frozen embaby. I need to start progynova on day 1 of my bleed. Spoke to my clinic yesterday for instructions if af shows over the weekend. So I started spotting around 12pmand getting to fresh blood now tmi πŸ™ˆ and I wonder should I classify today as day 1 or tomorrow? πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Hi lovely, wishing you all the luck in the world for this cycle. My doctor always says day 1 of period is the first day of red blood, not spotting. Xxx

TMI spotting at first and now starts with red blood πŸ˜ƒ how ivf makes us share so private things with complete strangers 🀩

Oh it does!! Then I would classify day 1 as today. Fingers crossed for you xxx

Hello, my clinic says the same as the ladies above. Day 1 is classed as the first day you wake up with a full bleed, not spotting. Good luck xx

Klndmr profile image
Klndmrβ€’ in reply toLavender96

Thanks hun πŸ’• The thing with me is I don’t get a day of spotting only but spotting and then straight to red blood so that’s why I’m so confused πŸ™ˆ

Lavender96β€’ in reply toKlndmr

Ahh there’s nothing like waiting to start treatment to put us on edge and get us confused! I think it plays tricks on us when desperately waiting for AF to arrive, it’s the only time mine is ever late πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

I was told by the doctor that day 1 is the day you wake up bleeding, not necessarily the day you start bleeding. Good luck! x

Klndmrβ€’ in reply toPurplePiggie

Thanks hun. I’m keep thinking is I should call the emergency number of my clinic but the only things that’s stops me is that mine is not a tea emergency πŸ™ˆ

Shelleybeanβ€’ in reply toKlndmr

I’d phone them! Explain you realise it’s not an emergency, but wasn’t sure what to do and need some advice. I work in the NHS and you’re being paid to be on call, so no big deal to answer the phone and give someone a quick piece of advice. Best to be sure hun as my clinic said as long as you’re fully bleeding by the afternoon that’s day 1 so different clinics saying different things xx

Klndmr profile image
Klndmrβ€’ in reply toShelleybean

Will do that. Thanks hun xxx

I always have this issue πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I would give it a bit more time and see if it gets heavier and if so count today as day 1.

Good luck lovely! πŸ’•

CLDxxx profile image
CLDxxxβ€’ in reply toCLDxxx

Actually I have thought about it and realised the time also 🀣 and I think if after a certain time it isn’t day 1, tomorrow would be. Xxx

Baby_gurl profile image
Baby_gurl

I was told if my period came after 3pm then I should count Day 1 as the next day and if it’s before 3pm I should count that day as day 1. However I would advice you to call your clinic for peace of mind as everyone here will have different ideas on when Day 1 is.

Wishing you the very best of luck πŸ’žπŸ’ž

Hiya hun,ah bless you. Have another scan Thursday as still showing positive tests and no proper bleeding really since scan on 27/12 where 1 sac was present still, despite 2 doses now of medical management 31/12 and 4/1 πŸ™„ the wait continues. Just had some acupuncture to see if that can help. How are you doing? Xxx x πŸ’•πŸ’•

I was always told day 1 was full flow but if after 12 then it's the next day. So I would say day 1 is tomorrow.xx

I’m good thanks, no symptoms yet which is making me worry but probably completely normal at this stage. Going to the doctors tomorrow for my blood test, I’ve been to scared to take another home test just gonna wait for my bloods and I think I’ll ask for an early scan too. Maybe then it’ll sink in lol

Klndmr profile image
Klndmrβ€’ in reply to3005

So you didn’t test at all after the two you’ve posted? Well done that definitely saves you the anxiety. Try and stay calm and you have all my fingers crossed for you and will be looking out for some very good news!!!

Hey, I agree defo the first day of full flow

😣 how are you feeling about this FET? I start meds on Friday for our last embie for this cycle too. Do you have any idea when roughly your transfer will be? We may be 2ww buddies? 😊xx

Klndmr profile image
Klndmrβ€’ in reply toMichael30

I did start the meds today.

I don’t really know how I feel to be honest. After 4 chemicals all together in a row (2 conceived naturally and 2 from ivf last year) I don’t really want to put my hopes up. At times I’m really calm and relaxed and then all of a sudden I feel quite anxious. But at the end of the day whatever happens, I can do my best and be positive and hopeful and pray for the best outcome. I think is all goes well my transfer should be around 20-25 January.

How about you? How do you feel? πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

Michael30 profile image
Michael30β€’ in reply toKlndmr

Totally understandable! So sorry to hear about your chemicals 😒It’s such a roller coaster but a positive you seem to fall easily...are they changing any meds due to your chemicals? I am feeling mixed as always, same as you. Excited/ nervous and anxious πŸ˜‚I think my transfer will be around the 2nd week of Feb as I do long cycles. Let’s keep in contact and best of luck to you! Xxx

Klndmr profile image
Klndmrβ€’ in reply toMichael30

Nope not changing any meds or anything. They said my body responds well and they can’t really do anything about the chemicals.... I asked 10 times I managed to make them do bloods for Lupus and antibodies which all came back normal so they said we stick to the plan. So the only thing I have left is to pray and hope.

Keep me informed on how you getting on hun and let the luck be on our side! πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ€©πŸ€©πŸ€©πŸ€©πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žxxx

Oh bless you! Sounds like me (asking 10 times) :) Well I wish you all the best of luck and will be praying for you too :) I will do indeed - starting the Burserilyn on Friday and quite excited now...what are you on currently? xxx

Klndmrβ€’ in reply toMichael30

I’m doing FET without down regulation. I started progynova on Sunday and have scans booked for 14th and 17th so hopefully transfer will be in the week of the 20th ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🀩🀩🀩🀩🀩🀩

Oh I see...how exciting! I dont know much about progynova - is it injections or tablets? Good luck and keep us posted xxx

If I learned one thing from this string is that there’s not a standard β€œprofessional” opinion on the matter. The way I look at it is if you experience a normal flow, even if you started out the day spotting, it’s the first day of your period. Simplified common sense I think. Good luck with your little embaby!!!β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

Klndmr profile image
Klndmrβ€’ in reply toAcuFertilityDoc

I do think the same but my clinic thinks and proceeds in different ways. If you start before 12pm then it’s day 1 πŸ₯°

Thank you ever so much 🀩 hope the last one will be THE ONE πŸ₯°πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€ž
