Sensitive - BFP

[LisaBeatrix1980]

Hi, I thought twice about posting because so many were going through their FET at the end of June the same as me and had heartbreaking results. But I wanted to share my experience because I thought it might help someone else in their 2WW who might go through similar to what I did.

I had 2 low grade C blastocysts put back in, one really wasn't in great shape but they put it back anyway. I didn't experience many symptoms post FET apart from a slight tugging feeling in my lower abdomen and a terrible headache 1 day. I was so worried that I gave in and tested on Day 7, and really wish I hadn't, it was a bfn and made me feel worse. I had terrible cramps day 8/9 and went from worrying I had no symptoms to worrying I had pain, it's a constant cycle of worry and it's all so overwhelming I couldn't remember what was normal anymore.

On OTD (which was day 11 for me) I got a bfp. I know I am so, so lucky to get a positive, especially after a negative earlier, it's not lost on me how tough this whole journey is for everyone and I just wish we could all have the luck we deserve. It's early days I know, but I wanted to just say to anyone having FET or going into their 2WW that you are not alone over thinking every tiny little thing going on in your body, and in giving in to test early, so many of us do it but try to hang on if you can. Lastly if you get a bfn early try not to give up hope, the women on here were so wonderful reminding me I still had time, and if there is one thing I've learned at every stage of this its that bodies can do amazing things in 24hrs. I still over think everything and petrified something will go wrong, I even did a test today to check, I worry the lines are too faint, something isn't right but I wonder if that's how the whole journey will be because we all go through so much that it doesn't quite seem real.

Good luck to everyone in their cycles, and thank you so much to those women who helped me through the last month, as a single donor mum I really felt like I wasn't alone at a really vulnerable time and it's meant a lot. x

Huge congratulations!!! ♥️ It's so nice to hear a positive story (literally!). I'm on stimming day 7 of my 1st ICSI round and your story gives a little glimmer of hope that there may be light at the end of the tunnel. Just taking each day as it comes. ☺️ Again, amazing news! x

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Finchee27]

Thank you, I had ICSI too. Everything crossed for you, be positive, and try and relax as much as possible, I know it’s hard. Xx

Thank you so much for all your support on here x

Congratulations to you! My bfp 9dpt was so faint I doubt that it would have been visible any sooner.

I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy ☺️

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Blue1986]

It’s all such a worry isn’t it, but anything can change in the blink of an eye. Xx

[CLDxxx]

Congratulations lovely! Great news xxx

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to CLDxxx]

Thank you mate xx

[Mycatsaremykids]

Congratulations! Your tww Sounds very similar to mine. I had no symptoms and started to feel down about it. Caved and tested on 8dp5dt and couldn’t see a second line but tested every day since and one had appeared by otd on 11dp5dt. It’s such a rollercoaster! xxx

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Mycatsaremykids]

It’s so reassuring when you hear other women have had similar experiences because you’re always told it’s different for everyone. It makes it so hard doesn’t it x

[Hidden]

Congratulations! We must be FET buddies! I had mine on 26 June and now 13dp5dt. Exciting but nerve wracking too!

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Hidden]

Wonderful! Yes I am absolutely petrified now 🤣

[Hidden in reply to LisaBeatrix1980]

Me too 🙈 when’s your viability scan? Mine’s 28 July... literally counting down the days!

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Hidden]

Snap! 28th! Feels so long away doesn’t it, I hope it goes quickly because I am just worried about every tiny little thing.

Do you mind me asking which clinic you are at?

[Hidden in reply to LisaBeatrix1980]

It really does! Trying to plan lots of activities to keep myself occupied, but yeh I’m worried about every twinge and niggle.

I’m at Leeds fertility. How about you?

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Hidden]

I’m still working from home, I thought that would help occupy me but it doesn’t at all as I can’t concentrate.

I’m at Oxford Fertility, it’s nice to be going through this at the same time as someone.

[Hidden in reply to LisaBeatrix1980]

I work in the hospital but have been given a non-patient facing role. I’m glad I can socialise with a few people at the office (wearing masks), because the time is dragging.! Also too scared to run or do much exercise which used to occupy my time. It’s so hard!

Yes it is- keep me updated. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for us both 💕

[Hidden]

Congratulations! I had embryo transfer Monday and I’m already convinced our little embryo isn’t there. We were told he is top quality. I’m very tired and I had a really bad headache last night and this morning but apart from that I’m fine. I’m dreading the test and the possible realisation that it hasn’t worked, I haven’t found any of this journey easy but hearing stories like yours does give me some hope! Thanks for sharing x

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Hidden]

Hang in there, try and just be as positive as you can. Don’t let negative thoughts stay too long if you can, I know how hard it is. Very vest of luck x

Thank you I appreciate it x

[Hidden]

Aww congratulations Lisa❤️ such a cute post thank you for sharing. I am behind you a few days. I had one frostie who the embryologist called a 2CC. She sounded like that wasnt very good but i just hope this is a fighter like yours is xx

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Hidden]

Everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 x

Thank you x

[Janop79]

Thanks for posting Lisa. I’ve been feeling so down so your post picked me up a little. I’m in the middle of my 2WW. Too scared to test or take my temperature even.

I have a C graded embryo in the freezer too so feel reassured to hear that yours survived the thaw process and has resulted in a pregnancy.

Congratulations! Sending you lots of love and luck x

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Janop79]

Very best of luck to you, the 2WW really is the worst but try and stay positive and hang in there x

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Janop79]

The 2WW really is the worst. Hang in there, try and stay positive and I’m crossing everything for you x

I really wish I'd discovered this forum sooner. Having just finished the 2ww I can honestly say that it was the worst part of the cycle. The progesterone gave me worst side effects than the gonal f or other medication and I was an absolute mess of 'what ifs'. I recognise absolutely everything here. BFP for me this morning and now just need to keep sane for the next 12 weeks...(!!!)

[LisaBeatrix1980 in reply to Finallypresent]

That’s such wonderful news, huge congratulations! Yes it feels like every day at the moment is twice as long but we’ll get there. This forum is so wonderful, I can’t imagine how I’d coped without it. Enjoy your happy news xx
