We are on our fourth transfer (5th cycle) and have had one son already who is six almost. Each transfer has been different and it’s making me crazy. Worst still is I had zero symptoms of pregnancy when I was very much pregnant six years ago so now I have “some” maybe symptoms it seems like they’re not ideal as it wasn’t like before. Telling myself it’s the drugs also makes me wonder.
We started ivf last year with a fresh double transfer at the end of July/August (chemical), freeze all cycle in September, double FET end of October/November/December (I have to do long protocol) which was BFN, single transfer January/February/March bfn. Then covid stopped us getting our last till just a week gone Tuesday. I think if it hadn’t I would have done another transfer off the back of the failed one. The consultant said our failures were due to an inhospitable environment in my uterus. I’m wondering if it was the constant drugs I was on since June 2019 and this time the break has given me chance to detox.
Anyway. This time feels different but I’m scared to test- OTD is Saturday. I had really bad cramps on my failed cycle last time and this time had cramps days 5/6 but they seem a lot less now and only really uncomfortable at night. My boobs hate me though. They hurt like hell! That’s not been on previous cycles despite being in the same drugs each time.
I’m trying to stay positive and keep looking at my transfer photo ❤️

What a journey!! Hope this one sticks xxx keep thinking positive and try not to overanalyse symptoms. Are you going to test soon or wait for your blood test? Wishing you the best, fingers crossed this is the one xxx
We don’t get a blood test just a hpt. I’ve never really got further than that. The first round was a chemical so I was on the tablets and pessaries an additional two weeks till my line disappeared.
I’m dreading it. I keep seeing the test and fighting the urge 🤣
I can imagine! I have no self-control! Always test at 5dp with first response. I had two chemicals too and it was hard work testing and seeing the line get fainter and I always regretted testing early. I think wait till 10dp. Fingers crossed xxx
Bless you, you've really been on a journey. Symptoms are a killer and as much as I tried in my tww's I couldn't help but notice everything happening to me. Stay positive, every pregnancy is different. Sending you lots of luck for your OTD on Saturday 🤞🏻 xx
I’m so so tempted to test today. I have such a busy day at work tomorrow though and don’t want to ruin it. I still have sore breasts but that’s about it for symptoms. I have cramps right now though which is either good or bad 🙏🏻😢🙏🏻
Weekend testing is always easier if you can hang on! Even until tomorrow after work? Either way your not gonna be able to concentrate at work so I always try and test at the weekend if at all possible 😊 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽 Xx
Thank you. I want to wait till Saturday but realised my mum is coming over and I don’t want to be a mess when she’s here because she’ll ask why and we have t told anyone about the ivf.
