Third time a champ, is it?

Midsummer_daydream profile image

So I had my 3rd transfer today (double embies) this time round. The transfer wasn’t the smoothest, they had difficulty to position the catheter in and fiddled around for a while with a change of hands. Another consultant took over 🥴 finally my 2 precious were dropped in. I didn’t know they were dropped together in one go. They are graded 4BB and 5BA, I know it doesn’t matter because they weren’t tested and grading doesn’t mean anything but I’m obsessed to differentiate them in my book with 2 failed rounds before.

Is it normal that I felt cramped as soon as I lay down during the transfer? Although the cramps remained on the way home but gone by now.

My stomach feels boiling all the time since I put the pessaries in the back passage. Trying hard not to go to the loo.. is it a good sign for progesterone or not? I’ve insisted them for a blood test before transfer and today they told me my progesterone level is at 125. I also have 1 Lubion so it may have helped.

Now the 2WW begins again.. anyone else in the same boat?

wishing you so much luck! 🍀 I got pregnant for the on my 3rd transfer, with a 4BB (also our first double transfer).

Progesterone levels sound great. I also really struggle not to go to the loo after the pessaries! Hope your 2WW goes fast and you get a great result at the end xx

thank you Solly!! I hope for a chance this time. I try to manage my progesterone level and watch for symptoms if it goes down, I was struggling in my 1st round. All other factors aside, I’m very sure it was progesterone

Good luck! We have twins from our third round and first double. Cramping may be from the difficulty transferring I had the same each time always a little tricky to get the catheter in and a little mild cramping after! Fingers crossed for you!

ah so lovely to hear a twin story 3rd round. It’s my first time of double transfer, so far I don’t feel any difference from the last 2. Finger crossed they implant x

good luck! 🍀 my now 1 year old was a third time lucky little baby boy 🍀

I caved in and did a test today. 5dp5dt, BFN. I know it’s early but I was hoping 2 would give me more signal than 1?! I just feel quite lonely, did not tell anyone after that.

Most symptoms I have are just progesterone I reckon, heavy sore boobs, feel “hot” and heavy down there. No night sweat or vivid dream this time. Is it never going to work? ☹️
