Had my first FET (third transfer overall) on Friday. All seemed OK - lining was good and I had no meds until ovulation trigger. I got my progesterone tested this time and it was just over 50- the clinic were happy with that. Trying to be very positive but am SO nervous at the prospect of this not working RIGHT before Christmas 😬😫 I absolutely love Christmas and am not sure how I'll cope with disappointment... praying it's third time lucky for us 🙏
Sending love to everyone in their 2WW, those planning or awaiting their next steps, those who cant even visualise their next steps right now, and those blessed to be celebrating good news ❤ xx

I’m in the same boat, transfer was yesterday. It’s third time (hopefully lucky) for us too. We almost delayed until the new year but thought what’s the point. And I think Christmas will be a nice distraction if it’s bad news. Wishing you soooo much luck! Here’s hoping for good outcomes all round xxx
Oh brilliant - I SO hope we both get lucky this time Claire 🤞💚 That's a good way to look at it though, that even if bad news at least there are some nice things to distract us perhaps xx
It's an incredible feeling isn't it!You know all this but: remember to take it one day at a time. Don't think ahead to what may be.... drink lots of fluids, gentle exercise to help blood flow, get yourself some treats for test day.
Sending you all the luck in the world! Try to keep busy with Christmas activities shopping, wrapping, movies!!!! Praying the time passes quickly for you and you get your positive result x
Hi! I'm praying for your transfer to work and that little miracle to stick. I found out last week that our Christmas miracle stuck but itnwas short lived. Today I miscarried....I don't know how my holidays will look this year. 2 years ago we found out we'll never be able to conceive naturally exactly one week before Christmas. It seems like history repeats itself....I really hope you don't get to experience this kind of shock. Nobody should go through something like this! Fingers crossed and lots of baby glue!!!
Oh lovely we are gluten for punishment aren’t we 😅. Something inside you told you it was right to do it at this time so trust your gut. I literally have everything crossed for you and can’t wait for your update 🤞🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼😘
I'm in pretty much the same position as yourself. Don't think I've ever prayed and hoped as much in my life. Heres hoping we will all have a good Christmas! sending you lots of baby dust xxxx
Fingers crossed for you too! The pressure is super tough. I guess we just have to remember it's out of our hands now, and nothing we do or don't do will have an impact (short of going out on the town and getting blotto drunk, obviously! 😂 ) Praying for you too xx
Hi AuroraXen, great news, now try to relax and keep busy in the run up to Christmas. Time will go faster then. Can't wait to hear your update and I'm wishing you all the luck in the world, exciting times❤️
Ah good luck!!! Glad to hear transfer went OK ❤️ And here's hoping we all get our good news before Christmas 🍀🤞 Sending lots of luck and looking forward to your update xx
I think I'm slooowly going mad 😂 I almost caved and tested early this weekend (OTD early next week) but I decided I didn't want to ruin my weekend with bad news and it wouldn't change the fact I'd still have lubion injections and pessaries galore before my blood test. It's transfer #4 for us (excluding our cancelled one) so I'm not super optimistic. Hope you're faring a bit better than I am!!! x
Well I actually told myself I WOULD break my rule and test early! I wanted to know if anything is happening at all with these embryos. But I was too chicken to test super early 😫 Am going to test tonight or tomorrow I think... feel I need to prepare myself ahead of OTD Tuesday 🥺 xx
I read your responses to some of the others with your test result and just wanted to reach out and say that I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for you that the result changes over the next few days. I'm so sorry this is such a hard road 😥❤️ xx
Christmas Day! Wow that's the ultimate pressure 😂 Bless you. You're super strong to do this 5 times. Hope you're bearing up OK and really hoping this is your time xx
Hey. Unfortunately not no we are still in the process of having lots of tests as they still don’t know what caused the cystic hygroma or how it may/will impact the baby’s development. Had another scan yesterday where they had some concerns regarding the baby’s heart so we have been referred to see the cardiac specialist at a different hospital on Tues. So still very much in a difficult limbo. Hoping that our little warrior keeps fighting the odds 🤞🤞🤞 xx
Oh darling I'm sorry things are still so worrying. Praying you have a little fighter and that it all turns out to be worry over nothing 🙏 You deserve some luck xx
Oh no I’m so sorry. But am I right in thinking you are only 8dp5dt? If so it could still change lovely. I know it might feel impossible but I’ve definitely read it happen on here before. I really hope it does for you 🤞 xxx
Thanks Picalilli, you're very sweet. Yep 8dp5dt. I know it might be a bit early still... just seems like with a FRER there'd be something, even super faint. Praying things might change still 🙏 but not feeling hopeful, sigh xx
Hello lovely. Oh wow, yes, I can totally understand your apprehension. I guess the good thing is if it's a positive, you'll be ecstatic over Christmas and if it's a negative, at least you'll have some time off work to process your feelings, and you can indulge in all the treats. We're doing our next cycle in January, and I'm sort of dreading it because January is a terrible enough month without adding IVF into the mix lol. Fingers firmly crossed for you! xxxxxx
That's a good way to look at it actually... normally with a BFN you're right back in work and there's nothing special happening. So I guess at least I could think of it as a distraction if the news isn't good. Fingers crossed for your January cycle xx
I feel the same way. This is my first transfer and we find out days before Christmas. I wasn’t anticipating quite how stressed I was going to feel and it’s taking away some of the Christmas magic. If it’s bad news right on Christmas I think that will take the last of it. Praying for a positive outcome. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻Hopefully you will have a lovely Christmas present on the way.
I think that's it Anna - I also feel it's going to really take the shine off Christmas if not good news 😢 Keeping everything crossed for you too sweetheart xx
Hello! I’ve just been reading your history and background and wanted to wish you loads of luck! We’re also doing a freeze all cycle with 3 almost identically graded embryos! Delayed due to covid unfortunately. I hope your little transferred embryo this time makes it!!
The clinic cancelled our appointment to ‘support the covid-19 vaccination programme’. Pretty disappointed but unfortunately it’s the world we’re living in. Hopefully we’ll get there soon!
Hi, I’m also wondering why I’ve done this at Christmas! Currently 3dp5dt and already second guessing every twinge! Also I want to eat all the Christmas treats but I’m trying hard to be healthy - however I did have a slice of M&S chocolate fudge cake earlier… It’s our 4th FET of 2021. Hoping we both get our Christmas gift of a BFP and the same for anyone else currently in their 2ww. Lots of love xxx
I've had healthy days and very much less healthy ones so far 😂 I'm just terrified to test 😣 8dp5dt now so something should be detectable if it's worked... but I don't want to test and have my little hope bubble burst 😢 xx
