So exactly 2 years later here I am again with my second transfer, my first was successful and now I have a 15 month old son. Forever grateful.

However I totally forgot how daunting this full process was, I am currently day 4 in my 2WW and I just didn’t feel positive from the start.

I tested yesterday and today both BFN, I just feel confused! I honestly can’t remember what I felt the first time round but I’ve just had ongoing cramps/ dull pain since the transfer is this just the progesterone then?

I know it was early to test but I wanted to do it daily to ease myself into the BFN although it still feels really hard to accept.

I know how you feel. I have a 18 month old son. Again forever grateful 🥹 I did a transfer when my son was 9 months old and unfortunately it failed for us. We are due to do another transfer soon and I’m dreading it. Even when you have one miracle it doesn’t get any easier. Try and be kind to yourself and try not to put too much pressure and worry on yourself. This process is hard enough. 4 days is still very early. I would say at least day 10 before accurate results will show. Rest up and keep positive xxx sending you lots of luck

It’s weird isn’t it! Because I feel extremely lucky to now be a mam finally and I really thought next time would feel so much easier, but my anxieties went from‘Il never be a mam’ to ‘Il never be able to give my son a sibling’.

Thank you chick, wishing you the best of luck with your next transfer fingers crossed 🤞🏽Xx

This will be a hard time for you so try to take it easy - hard to with a wee one to look after .Also best wait till your OTD before retesting Take any meds you have been given as directed

Look after yourself - take care

I know how you feel we have a 15 month old and been trying since he was about 6 months for a sibling and it’s hard to take the negative tests even more so after you have had a positive outcome (which is the opposite of what I was expecting!!). Before that I was kinda alway expecting negative and now my brain is expecting to see positive! Especially with the last one which was a double transfer. I really hope it turns around for you still lots of time day 7 is when I got my positive last time 🤗 but even that is earlier than some xx

Was your 15 month old from ivf then? Yeah I think maybe I just assumed this would work the embryo was the same batch and same grade as my sons .. although I waited until 7dp5dt with him to test and got a very very light line! I’m hoping maybe by Friday I will get that line but if not I know it won’t of worked.. we only have 1 embryo left now and the grade isn’t as good as the two I’ve used upto now so unsure what to do next!

Wish the whole process was quicker than it is and it would hurt as much! I really wanted children close in age but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that for woman with infertility issues does it 👎🏽 Xx
