Hi Han21, not exactly but similar, I went through all the meds for my second cycle but only had one follicle growing so I cancelled the cycle but converted it to trigger + IUI - I had considered timed intercourse but getting that to happen when it's meant to seems to be an impossible task...

Every time I feel even a twinge I'm obsessing about whether it could mean anything but I only had the IUI on Friday last week so I'm guessing it's way too soon for the twinges to have been implantation... it's driving me nuts. Part of me is thinking I should think positively and visualise it happening, and the other part of me can't bear to be hopeful in case it's another BFN..

Good luck with your 2ww!

Aw thank you for your reply lovely! I see what u mean, that’s amazing tho that u had your iui. Wishing you all the very best with your tww also! ❤️

I started my injections & was on menopur for 11 days and my follicles where growing really well and dr told me to trigger on Friday evening & have timed inter course all weekend (sorry for the tmi lol) .. so that’s exactly what we done, for 4 days!

So there’s not much else we can do now just wait.

I’m feeling nausea and heartburn and twinges also, but I have read that the trigger shot gives you pregnancy symptoms so I’m not believing it lol! One minute I’m so positive about it then the next I’m like will it ever be my time.. it’s a confusing journey and a very hard one at that.

How long have you been ttc for lovely?

Lol not TMI at all :) I seem to be a bit prone to UTIs after intercourse so 4 days would probably break me lol! that's defo TMI sorry!

I've been having IVF for nearly a year now but trying naturally for a couple of years before that. I'm in my 40s now, had a BFP on my first transfer but mmc at viability scan, then a double FET which was a BFN. I'm feeling a bit frustrated that my clinic seems to want me to wait for so long in between attempts, time is running away a little!

Hopefully the symptoms are a sign of good things to come! How long have you been ttc?

Lol not at all! Aww ok I get you! I am feeling it don’t get me wrong lol my husband thinks he’s won the lottery hahah! Aw that sucks 😔 you’ve had a long journey ❤️ Hoping this will be your time.

And don’t be stressing about age, (Ino it’s easier said than done) but I’ve heard of a lot of women get pregnant in their 40s also. Ino there’s no rushing them is there! They take their time. We actually went private because of the waiting times. Was ridiculous.

We’ve been ttc for 3 years. I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2018 which was so traumatic for me and lost my left tube, was an awful time.

We took some time away from the whole baby thing as we got married in June last year so now we are at the Start of our fertility journey as this is my first treatment. I’m 28, but honestly i didn’t think having a baby could be so difficult and lots of others get it so easy, it’s so unfair sometimes xxx

Congratulations on getting married! (that's the next thing i need to work on with my partner 🙄) and so sorry about your ectopic :(

I agree, it feels so unfair, hopefully there's better things on the horizon for us both! is your OTD on the 4th? x

Aw thank you! Hopefully so! Yes the 4th , I think so anyway I’m not sure if it’s the night I took trigger or the day I ovulated lol but I’ll just test on the 4th anyway. Is yours the same date? Xx

ki50 in reply to Han21_x

Yes mine's the 4th too.. the days are going painfully slowly! Also i'm having no symptoms at all! I'm using 2 cyclogest a day and that's all at the mo so hoping that's enough to delay my period in case any magic is happening inside as my cycle is normally really short (21 days)!x

Oh well u will have to keep me updated with your outcome .. so glad to have someone on the same journey aswell it’s nice to have someone to talk to..

I’ve never heard of that what is it?

To be honest I had a few symptoms each day they change but today I felt fine just a few twinges etc.

I’m just trying not stress over the symptoms tho because everyone’s different ❤️.

I’m kinda just going about my daily day and then come nighttime I start to think about test day etc and think oh god I wonder what will be but whatever we can’t control it ..

Hey Han,

How are you getting on with your tww? I'm getting really antsy now, I think I'm going to have to test earlier. I have to interview someone at 9 am on Friday which is test day, so either way don't think I want to do it just after getting the result!

The cyclogest I mentioned is progesterone, although I'm actually on a different one (utrogestan) this time.

Hope you're well

Hiya. Yeah I’m getting on ok. I was so unwell last week! Bloated, Nausea & cramps I think it was just the trigger shot in my body but yesterday I started to feel myself again I’m not as bloated I was so uncomfortable..

Yes I think it’s completely your own preference lovely . I’m going to test this weekend at some stage aswell. I just have the mindset where whatever the outcome we will deal with it together 😊

How are u feeling?

I was starting to get sore breasts and more sensitive to smells but must have just been the progesterone as i just tested today, massive BFN so I'm pretty sure I'm out again this time :'( - I only had one follicle this time so feeling pretty sad right now. Hope you have a better result! x

Oh I’m so sorry to hear this 😭, test again this weekend just to make sure though as you are still quite early. I tested on Sunday to make sure the trigger shot was out of my body and it was neg, so whatever I test this weekend I’ll no it’s true if you no what I mean. My AF is due next week, and I do feel like I’m having my normal pms symptoms yesterday and today so I’m not very hopefully either, I have myself convinced it’ll be bfn to!

What’s next for you then?❤️

Take care of yourself lovely xx
