hello, I am a first time poster, this is my eighth round of ivf and I’m 8dpt d5fet

Had a lot of cramping very sore boobs and back ache and now seem to have a sort of tight band feeling around my tummy?

I promised myself I wouldn’t go bonkers this time around but it’s so easily done!

I’m going out of my mind is it just af symptoms (it really does feel like it) or is this a good sign - really think I’m going to crack and test early but I darent!!

Hey! If you have made it to 8dp5dt without going bonkers then you are my hero. The symptoms sound promising but you know how it is in this game. When is otd? Xx

I stayed off really positive then had a dip and now I just don’t know!! Test date is Friday so I’m only half way though!

I’ve been down this road so many times that I can’t imagine being pregnant but as with the majority on here it’s all I want ❤️

God! They make you wait forever. Will that be 14dp5dt? Totally normal to be feeling it by this point. I usually loose my mind on day 5 to be honest. What are you going to do to take care of yourself today? You said you have had eight rounds, is that fresh or transfers? I know what you mean about struggling to imagine it could ever work. I am about to have my fifth and it feel ridiculous sometimes to hope. Xxx

It’s so long isn’t it!

I’ve been going for quite gentle walks everyday but yesterday I think I overdid it a bit, I woke at my normal time this morning but then fell back asleep Until 1pm!!! Not like me one bit!!

It’s been a mix of fresh and frozen, I’ve always been lucky enough to have embies to freeze after a fresh round but this has spanned over around 15 years so my life has been on hold somewhat!

Please keep hope! I know it’s easier said than done but huge good luck wishes for your fifth round 🥰
