TRANSFER DAY!!!

[Jessfm123]

hi all I got the call this morning from the clinic to confirm they have a blastocyst 5AA so buzzing. My transfer is in the next hour. I’m paranoid I’m going to start my period feeling I know tmi but feeling wet down there so hopefully it’s just some healthy discharge but keep thinking it’s my period. Any tips pre/post transfer I know there’s loads of superstitious stuff McDonald’s chips etc but anyone found anything that worked for them? Keeping feet warm etc? Thanks x

The important stuff: take your meds religiously if you have any!

The superstitious stuff: wear warm socks, take at least three days off, make sure you get enough sleep. Eat well. I avoided extra sugar for the first 5 days and made sure I could feel pampered. I was on a load of supplements too but it's not advisable to just start those after transfer.

5AA …that’s a brilliant start …wishing you so much luck .

The next two weeks will be mental torture at stages but just take each day as it comes. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

How did your transfer go? Was that your first transfer? Wishing you all the best of luck. Now you're in your TWW. My advice is not to test early. And just keep following doctor's orders. No heavy lifting too.

thanks very much for your reply. Yep first one all went well I didn’t have enough water in my bladder so had to drink more but other than that all good. Feels surreal I think I’ll ever be in awe of this process x

hey, I’ve just had a 5AA transferred too, just had some fries from McDonalds

Wishing you all the best x

[Jessfm123 in reply to Sunflower004]

oh wow amazing! Here to chat throughout the 2WW if needed. It’s feels so surreal doesn’t it. I just had fries too lol. Is it your first time? Ah thank you you too x

[Sunflower004 in reply to Jessfm123]

oh thank you, same goes for you.

Yes first time for IVF , it’s all happened so quickly! I was a bit gutted because we had 4 other embryos but because they were 4CC , we were told they wouldn’t survive the freeze so fingers crossed for this one . Hope your transfer went ok x

[Jessfm123 in reply to Sunflower004]

aww hopefully this is the one and it’s a great quality one too! Yeah all went ok convinced it never went in but I think a top consultant knows a lot more than me lol x

I hope the transfer has gone very well ! 5AA is a great start ! Just try to be kind to yourself and take one day at a time. Do what you feel comfortable with, in my case I wfh the next day, given the transfer was late in the PM , I walked back and i just rested after that. Went into the office 2 days after and following weeks (I’ve read else where they can sign you off if too stressful), I was a bit scared about long commute and carrying my laptop but it was all ok. I’m fairly active, so I’ve made sure to do loads of walking to help with the stress plus I read is good for circulation. Try to find what works best for you e.g reading or any other hobbies that help to distract your mind from the waiting. Also don’t try too read too much into symptoms xx

I hope it all goes well for you from here , best of luck !!

Urban myths: I did eat chips ( they weren’t McDonald’s but I made sure to put loads of salt on them haha , I also ate the famous pineapple 🍍
