So today was my transfer my first FET is complete and our grade A is on board. After waiting 15 months to get myself both mentally and physically strong enough to do this. I am feeling both excited and anxious. How will i face possibly failure? ?..But at the same time I am feeling much more positive!
I know this is a numbers game and all I can do is cross my fingers. Now all I can do is wait 😩the worst bit.
Sending lots of love to those on this journey. It never gets easier
❤️💕❤️💕

Wishing you lots of luck!! It’s never easy but you’ll get through it. Try to remember if you’re having a negative day that’s ok. It won’t affect the outcome. Ride that rollercoaster xx
That’s great. How did it all go for you. Mine was a little bit more uncomfortable this time. I felt pretty sore and bloated last night. But a lot better this morning than I did after my fresh transfer.
Let’s hope this two week wait will give us a little growing embryo at the end of it.
Yeah it all went fine thanks, definitely uncomfortable though, those speculums are horrible aren’t they! I had lower back ache and gas after transfer but now nothing at all. Each transfer I’ve had sore boobs and tiredness which has most likely been the progesterone but this time I seem to have nothing at all.
I thought I’d be more chill this time but the lack of symptoms (even if drug related) is making me anxious already!🙈Time will tell I guess, and like my husband said, there’s nothing we can do but wait 🤞🏼
Yes I hate those speculums, he had a little trouble getting the catheter in through my cervix which meant I was waiting there with a full bladder longer than last time 😩I had loads of symptoms last time. Cramps, bloat ness and tiredness. This time just sore boobs and a bit fatigued. I guess that’s the progesterone.
Don’t want to focus on every little change but it is hard not to think. Is it a good or bad thing. It is human nature I guess.
It’s hard to not feel anxious isn’t it! Im feeling nothing at all at the moment which I think is actually making me more anxious than when I have symptoms! 🙈
You too! Amazing. There is nothing we can do now but just wait. 🤞
Do you do anything special in the two week wait I.e relax more, eat differently? I am just curious how people carry on. I mean it feels strange I want to just carry on as usual however I am aware that I have this little embryo in there and I should look after it to give it the best chance, but then I am also aware that IVF is pretty much a numbers game. Everything has to be all alined for success so there is not a lot you can do now.
I try to relax a lot more and not do things that are strenuous, but like you say, it’s pretty much down to chance really.
There are so many people who don’t have the chance to relax and still go onto have healthy pregnancies, so I try and not put too much pressure on myself, but it’s hard when you go through IVF and it’s something you want so badly!
I agree with that. You can not always relax etc but when you are not sure why pregnancy is not happening for you it makes you a little paranoid about what you do.
Oh I totally agree! I’m paranoid too! Despite being on numerous medications to ‘fix’ my diagnosed issues, I’m still getting the same result, so it’s hard to not blame myself and think was it something I did or didn’t do?
I even text my friend yesterday who was successful in IVF asking for advice in the TWW despite this being my 4th time! I keep thinking is there something I’m missing! Urgh it’s such a tough journey. It makes it slightly easier knowing there are others who understand though 💕x
I was feeling slight twinges earlier but nothing since, think it's too early for implantation. Being a coffee drinker and smoker i'm finding it really tough. Booked myself a session of acupuncture, had one yesterday straight after FET, the hospital said it helps, they also precribed me steriods and aspirin, hoping it all helps x
Gosh I bet! The caffeine is hard, amazing how much your body depends on it to stay awake in the day lol.
I’m also on steroids and blood thinner injections, I think the clinic are running out of things to try for me now, so fingers crossed! This is my first time on steroids, so wondering if that makes a difference with lack of symptoms 🤷🏻♀️x
They consider steroids for me but decided to not bother. I have crohns but have under control with diet and inflammation levels are good. So I guess if this cycle fails they might consider it.
I drink two cups of tea a day. One ordinary and one decaf. No coffee as yet. If I did it would be decaf but it does really cut it so just avoid. I have been weaning myself off all since beginning of the year. I do really miss the odd glass of wine though.
When will you guys be testing? I've been told to test on 22/03, for some reason I don't cave and test early, both previous cycles i've tested on the day. Good luck x
My test date is 22/3 I have noticed that a lot of ladies on here test as early as day 6 after transfer. I left it last time until test day. I knew it was a negative I had heavy cramping and bleeding that started the day before.
My tummy changed too like when you start your period. I was at work when it started and I had to leave because of the pain. I really hope that I do not experience this again. It was very traumatic.
Really sorry to hear that. Hope you get a BFP this time. Try and take some time off work so you can relax. Although my job is stressful im glad i'm wfh, I can relax a little. We have our test dates on the same day. Good luck x
Hey. Just wanted to join in the party for us waiting to test on 22/3. I’m 41 and had 3 grade 4 embryos transferred on 10/3 - I think I had implantation cramping for 3 days which ended yesterday but no other symptoms at all. This wait is driving me crazy. Want to do a home test but was told not to as medication during IVF can give false positives. Fingers crossed for us all
I know it is so hard d. I have been ok until yesterday. Doubts starting to creep in. I have had very little symptoms. My boobs were a little tender but they are feeling better. Just messes with your head. We all need to stay 💪 strong
Try to remain positive. I am not testing until the date given by my clinic because I think that just adds to the anxiety either way.
Yes I had the sore boobs early on but think that was down to the progesterone gel but they feel pretty normal again now 🤷♀️ Just the weekend to get through and then d-day on Monday if I’m still sane by that point 🤯🤯
Yes I think the progesterone does give most of the symptoms that we might have. I now just the weekend 😬🤞fills me with both excitement and dread! Anxious doesn’t does not even come close to how I am feeling. The closer it gets the more I can’t stop thinking about the outcome! Crazy 😬
