Transfer day!

[Anoncasper]

Hello ladies,

Today is my FET day. I’m so nervous but excited at the same time. Doing lots of housework to try and keep my mind from going into overdrive.

Is anyone else on or near their transfer day? Xxx

[Leii9]

Hello, I am on my way to get my FET right now. Slept really bad last night i am guessing due to nerves as i am on 4th transfer, first 3 were fresh though, this is my 1st FET. Sending good vibes your way 🤞🍀🤞🍀

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Oh the best of luck to you! Im definitely more nervous than excited albeit I slept ok last night. This is my first FET too. Last attempt was a fresh transfer too.

Lots of good vibes and hugs being sent to you too 😘 xx

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Did you get on okay yesterday? How are you feeling? X

[Leii9 in reply to Anoncasper]

Hi, Transfer went fine, but i think i ate something that didn't agree with my stomach at lunch and was throwing up the whole evening so i hope this will not have a negative impact on the FET Apart from that im ok. How are you? Xxx

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Aww no that’s such a shame! I hope you feel better soon. I’m sure your FET will be fine. We worry at the smallest of things in this process so I know it’s hard not to overthink everything. Please try and put it to the back of your mind ❤️.

I feel okay. Some cramping the day of transfer but nothing since, except severe tummy pains last night which was due to gas 🙈. Other than that I’ve been ok and no other symptoms. Xx

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Hey Leii9,

How are you doing? I just wanted to check in and make sure you are doing ok since we are on the same 2WW with the same test date.

I hope you are doing ok xxx

[Leii9 in reply to Anoncasper]

Hi, It is a roller coaster at the moment, i feel nauseous quiet often, and im not sure if it's linked to the throwing up from the other day, or if it's a good sign. I haven't been sleeping so well either.

How are you doing? When is your blood test?

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Oh tell me about it!

I’ve been feeling nauseous too but wants sure if that was the meds or not. Not been sick though. My lower abdomen is tender too, so I’m hoping these are good signs.

My test is the 24th. When is yours? Xx

[Leii9 in reply to Anoncasper]

🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀 Mine is on the 20th xxx

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Aww I have everything crossed for you! Good luck ☘️☘️☘️ x

[Leii9 in reply to Anoncasper]

Hi, Just received negative blood test result Keeping my fingers crossed for you on the 24th xx

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Oh no! I’m so sorry! ❤️

Take your time to recover from this cycle and gain back your mental strength and then do what’s right for you!

I really hope you’re back on here again in the future with wonderful news.

Thank you so much for your lovely wishes 😘😘😘 xx

[Leii9 in reply to Anoncasper]

My doctor wants me to come in to chat about next steps as it's my 4th failed transfer since June I only have 3 tries left (fresh transfers) covered by my insurance (which all need to be done before my 42nd birthday in October, age limit in Belgium)

Taking a week or 2 to myself before going to see him though.

Please do keep me updated on your results, really hoping for the best for you xxxxx

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

You have been through a horrible time. My heart goes out to you ❤️

Have you tried FET? They say the results are great with FET.

Please look after yourself and be kind to yourself 🥰

If you ever want to just chat please feel free to drop me a message.

Thank you so much. I will. Your kind words mean a lot ❤️❤️ x

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Hello Leii9,

I had my test day today and it was negative. To say I’m gutted is an understatement. I feel so deflated now.

I tried my best to stay positive but it hasn’t worked again 😢 x

[Leii9 in reply to Anoncasper]

Hey, im so sorry 😞 This journey we are on is so difficult xxx

Sending hugs xxx

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Thank you! The journey is never easy. It’s even more gutting that the medication give the same symptoms as pregnancy. It gives false hope x

Just need to look to the future now x

[Leii9 in reply to Anoncasper]

Yes that is true about the medication 😔 I will keep an eye on your posts to see how your journey is going.

If you ever need a chat don't hesitate x

[Anoncasper in reply to Leii9]

Thank you so much! I’ll follow you so I can see how you are getting on.

The same goes for you too. Just message me if you need anything at all 🥰 xx

[Bunny29]

Good Morning,

Exciting 😄 and nerve wracking too!!

Wishing you lots of love and positive thoughts 🌟 🍀

I am going to do exactly the same thing, vac, clean and new bedsheets for a good night sleep.

My transfer is tomorrow so also feeling the nerves.

X

[Anoncasper in reply to Bunny29]

Oh the best of luck to you today! I hope it all works out well for you ❤️ x

[Anoncasper in reply to Bunny29]

Hello Bunny29,

How did you get in with your transfer? Did everything go okay? Xx

[Bunny29 in reply to Anoncasper]

Hello,

Yes it went as well as it could have to be honest, they have recently been taken over and now part of Care Fertility, which I was a little dubious about.

This time the first embryo/ frostie ❄️ survived, so hoping this is a good omen.

However it all went as smooth as possible, just the wait now, however I have decided to go back to work and continue to be busy this time round. The busier I am the less I feel anxious.

Trying to keep busy ish, doing meditation, keeping my feet warm and eating lots of dates and lemon water.

How did your transfer go? How are you feeling? 😘 xx

[Anoncasper in reply to Bunny29]

Awww I’ll have my legs, fingers and toes crossed for you ☘️☘️. I really hope this is your time.

My transfer went well thank you. This is my first frostie (last time was a fresh transfer) so I’m hoping my little rainbow sticks.

I’m feeling well. A little anxious but ok. I’m like you. I’ve been keeping myself busy too. I’ve been cramping a lot but this happened last time too so putting that down to the meds. I’ve been a little nauseous this time round which I wasn’t last time so trying not to read into it.

How have you been feeling? Xx

[Bunny29 in reply to Anoncasper]

Glad your frozen transfer went well, did you think it was a total different experience with the FET? Sending positive vibes and keeping everything crossed for you 🍀

I think I feel twinges and cramping but not really felt since the day after transfer. No sickness or tender boobs but not everyone has signs/these symptoms. So I try and remain as positive as possible 🤞🏼

Do you mind me asking when is your test date?

Mine is the 23rd of January, I will not be peeing on a stick this time 🕰️ I am going to wait. It’s going to be so hard, but just trying to tell myself it’s 50/50 we can only do what we have done now ☺️ what will be will be!!

But then 10 minuets later, I start going on a Google tangent, which I know I shouldn’t 🫣 xx

[Anoncasper in reply to Bunny29]

I felt it was a lot more relaxed this time round than my fresh embryo transfer. There was no sedation etc no pain either. Much better. What about you?

I think everyone is different. Some have symptoms and others don’t. I had symptoms last time with my fresh embryo and it was a negative result. It is like you say, it’s 50/50. There is nothing we can do. We just need to remain positive like you said.

Sure, my test date is the 24th. I need to wait 2 weeks but a lot of people on here seem to test earlier.

I’m constantly on google and trying my best not to.

I really hope this is your time ☘️☘️ xx

[Bunny29 in reply to Anoncasper]

Aww that’s nice to hear that it was more relaxed. More of a military procedure isn’t it frozen, you check in, get your gowns on. Waiting a little then in for the transfer which is literally 5 minutes ish, have a wee and then set off home. 😂

You’re totally right, everyone is different it is just this roller coaster 🎢 of emotions. Some twinges I am feeling positive and then on the other hand I am, it’s not implanted 😔. You just can’t prepare for this two weeks!!

Like you said we have to stay positive, think positive.

What are you think about testing early, a lot of people seem to be?

Sending positive vibes and tonnes of luck 🍀 xxx

[Anoncasper in reply to Bunny29]

Lol yes it is. Although, whilst I was on the bed (with a huge bright light shining on my V lol), the women were all talking about George Michael and having a giggle. It was quite nice not to have it so clinical, if that makes sense?

YES! i'm the same. The small twinges, i'm like, yep it's worked and then I remind myself it could just be the medication. It's torture!

My partner has been great at keeping me positive and has made me laugh loads this week. He's a keeper lol.

I'm not sure about testing early. I would hate to have a negative result because I tested early and then have to wait again to do another one a few days later. I'd rather jut have one punch in the stomach, if that makes sense.

What about you? Will you test early?

I really hope you get your little miracle. Send you lots of good luck too! 🍀 🍀 🍀 xxx

[Bunny29 in reply to Anoncasper]

Haha that’s brilliant, not going to lie I love ❤️ a bit of George Michael! Yes I am agree even though the surrounding is clinical it doesn’t have to feel it. Like your experience.

I am totally the same, with the twinges. Feeling positive and then on a different twinge or feeling I am like hmmm that seed of doubt come creeping in. Do some quick breathing exercises or go for a walk to keep my mind active.

Your partner sounds like he is taking the best care of you, which is the great support we need. 🤗

Agree with you on the testing early, I am not going to. Leave it until the day 🍀

Keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼 and hoping you get your miracle 💫 lots of love xxx

[Anoncasper in reply to Bunny29]

We just torture ourselves don't we lol

I wish you all the best with your testing and I really hope you get your little miracle too 🍀🍀🍀 xx

[AMJean]

Best of luck today! 🤞🍀 I’m 6 days after atm! X

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

Hello AMJean,

How are you doing now you are past the halfway point?

I hope you are handling the 2WW ok xxx

[AMJean in reply to Anoncasper]

Hi Anoncasper, Doing alright thanks. Keeping busy but not too busy! Limiting online time! And I’ve talked my way back from some lurching assumptions with anything I’m feeling physically! Can feel the pressure ramping up a bit. How are you doing? xx

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

I suppose that’s the only thing you can do for the time being to distract yourself. I’m doing the same thing, well trying to lol.

Every little physical thing I feel, I do the same but try to remind myself that it could be the meds too.

What’s your test date?

I’m feeling ok. Just cramping, a little nausea and hungry quite a bit but not reading into it too much xx

[AMJean in reply to Anoncasper]

Test day for us is the 19th! So 4 sleeps. How about you? 🤞🍀👍

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

How are you feeling about it? Not long to go. I’ll have everything crossed for you and wish you the best of luck ☘️☘️

Mine is the 24th so just over a week to go 🤞🤞 xx

[AMJean in reply to Anoncasper]

I’ll be thinking of you too! 🍀🤞Everything crossed! x Today is a distract myself day!x

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

Thank you so much! 🥰

Me too! Taken myself round the shops for some retail therapy lol 😂

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

Good luck today xxx

[AMJean in reply to Anoncasper]

Thanks and lovely of you to remember. Not good news for us today. Wishing you extra luck and baby dust for the 24th. Xx

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

Aww I'm so sorry! I had everything crossed for you and really hoped this was your time.

Please take care of yourself and, even though it will be hard just now, stay positive.

Thank you for your wishes xxx

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

Hello AMJean,

How are you?

I had my test today and it has come back negative 😢😢 xx

[AMJean in reply to Anoncasper]

Hi Anoncasper, I was thinking of you today. I’m so sorry you got a negative. It’s so hard and takes a while to process, doesn’t it? I hope you can take a bit of time. Be gentle with yourself xx

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

Thank you ❤️ It is such a hard process. I ended up breaking down last night. Not only did I get my negative but it was such a rubbish day yesterday too.

We go on holiday on Sunday so that will do me good and then I can reset and refocus.

I hope you are well xxx

[AMJean in reply to Anoncasper]

A holiday sounds a really good plan. Just to get away and reset, like you say, will be helpful. I don’t think I’ve really let it out yet, but had a big chat about it all with my husband the other night, which was some kind of release. We’ve got one more try, so I’m trying to get my head round that too. Such an emotional, hard and draining time isn’t it? Wishing you some healing time xx

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

I'm looking forward to it to be fair.

I think we spend so much time trying to move on from the outcome, we forget that we need to deal with the emotional side of it too, if that makes sense.

I really hope you get your rainbow at the end of your next try! I really do!

It definitely is a very emotional time. I ended up having an emotional breakdown in the shower last night where my other half just sat at the bottom of the bath cuddling me. I feel it was much needed though.

Thank you so much for your kind words xx

[AMJean in reply to Anoncasper]

Thanks to you too and I wish you the same. It has been really good to check-in over this time. I’ve really appreciated it. 👍x

[Anoncasper in reply to AMJean]

Thank you so much!

Aww not a problem. I personally think the more support available from people going through the same thing, the better the experience overall (within reason).

I've also really appreciated being able to check-in. It's helped a great deal xxx

[Anoncasper]

Aww I wish you all the best of luck too! ☘️How have you been feeling so far? Xx

[GillT82]

Hi all,

I had my first FET on 12th jan and due to test on 25th jan. Previously had 4 natural miscarriages, cause unknown. Had our embryos pgta tested and got 3 normal ones back out of 7 that got to blastocyst stage. Best one has been transferred. Embryologist said it has continued to develop well and even started hatching before going back into me which they said is a good sign. Had a few twinges in abdo area and boobs but not much else. Also had sharp pains in my back on standing up straight the last few days, whether that’s linked or not I don’t know but I know I’ve not been doing anything daft like lifting or twisting to have caused it. Some days I don’t get any symptoms then I worry as too much like my previous experiences. So nerve wracking.

[Anoncasper in reply to GillT82]

I’m so sorry to hear of your previous losses. You have been through an awful time 😢. I have heard that FET’s have a slightly higher success rate as your body has had a chance to recover from the egg collection etc and it’s not as stressful.

All of your signs are good. I’m in the same boat as you. I had my FET on the 10th and my test date is the 24th. Like you I have been getting twinges and more sharp pulling like pains in my lower abdomen, especially over yesterday and today. I haven’t had any spotting but then not everyone’s symptoms are the same.

Are your symptoms similar to before where you ended up with a positive result?

The 2WW is the worst!

I really hope this is your time and you get your little miracle ☘️🥰 x

[GillT82]

Aww thankyou 😊. Yeah I think with a couple yes but then they completely disappeared which is why I knew something wasn’t right but this was after my period was missed but not due on until 25th to be fair. I’ve had no spotting either but didn’t wirh last few preganancies. Only did with my first and that one ended in miscarriage too. Trying to keep positive but it’s so hard given my history. The wait is so awful. Wishing you lots of luck for to it miracle too 🥰x

[Anoncasper in reply to GillT82]

Oh I feel your pain with the 2WW. Be kind to yourself and go for a few nice walks. Stop off and get a hot drink and some cake. Try to keep your mind distracted with nice things 🥰

That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s helped but I appreciate everyone is different.

I really hope it all goes well for you ☘️☘️☘️☘️ fingers crossed we are both celebrating next week xxx

[GillT82]

Thankyou. I do like getting outdoors for walks to clear the mind and get some fresh air. Yes I really hope we are too 🙏 🤞xx

[Anoncasper in reply to GillT82]

Hi GillT82,

I just wanted to say good luck for tomorrow! I hope you get your positive result! Sending lots of hugs and wishes xxx 🍀🍀

[GillT82 in reply to Anoncasper]

Thank you Anoncasper, I really appreciate you thinking about me. I am nervous due to previous experiences but trying to remain positive as best I can. Xx

[Anoncasper in reply to GillT82]

You are very welcome 🥰

Being positive is all we can be. You will have done everything you can to encourage implantation so please, no matter the result, be kind to yourself ❤️

I have everything crossed for you today 🤞🍀🤞🍀 xxx

[GillT82]

Good news. I’m pregnant 😁. Wasn’t expecting it at all. Had convinced myself it hadn’t worked. Got a 7 week scan 14th feb Valentine’s Day ❤️. Just added low dose aspirin into my protocol today alongside estrogen and progesterone which I’ve been taking for a few weeks now and got to carry on with up to scan date. Been taking folic acid for ages too now. I feel guilty as I’m not as excited as I want to be due to my four previous miscarriages. Won’t truly relax until we get past 6 weeks stage and get to see 12 week scan and more so when we have a baby on our arms. Trying to keep positive though that we’ve done all we can with the fertility clinic to ensure all conditions are right with me and embryo. X

[Anoncasper in reply to GillT82]

Awww Gill this is amazing news! Congratulations!!

Enjoy this moment as much as you can. I wish you a very healthy pregnancy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please keep us updated 😁

[GillT82]

Ahh thankyou. Will do x 😊
