First embyro transfer this morning

I had my first embryo transfer today, which was anxiety-inducing. I drank so much water but not enough, as it was a struggle to see the catheter on the monitor. Then I went back 30 minutes later, and it was a bit of a battle, which sent me into a slight panic. Luckily, she got it through. It was so emotional for my boyfriend and me as we both cried. It was so strange seeing him convey emotion at this part of the entire procedure as he had been oblivious otherwise. They inserted one embryo, and we were left with all the others from what was frozen. I was so concerned about them thawing, keeping that positive momentum up. I am struggling a bit with Progesterone, and it has made me very, very anxious and irritable, so I am hoping that it relaxes over the next few weeks. I have to take a test on the 19th, so I am hoping these two weeks fly by and all is okay 💞

Good luck! Progesterone can be a bit annoying at the beginning but then you’ll get used to it 😘 Baby dust coming your way ❤️

Hi 👋 I had my first transfer on Monday.

How are you feeling? I’m a mixture of excited and nervous. I can test on 17th xx

I’m exactly the same💞 I’m up and out doing normal things today as staying in and laying in bed is making me more anxious

Ohh that’s a wonderful idea 🥰 I did a bit of shopping. Is your tummy rumbling or cramping because mine is ? Hoping it’s a good sign 🥰

Good luck for your test day. Mine is the same as yours. It's all so anxiety inducing. Really look after yourself and do nice things in the next few weeks.

Sending you hugs and lots of baby dust. Xx

Thank you. Had a rather traumatic experience at the fertility clinic when we went for our transfer so I'm pretty upset about that.

Otherwise, trying not to take every twinge as a sign and remembering how last time the progesterone gave me pregancy symptoms but it was a big fat negative.

Hope you can rest as much as you need to. X

Ohhh I’m so sorry 😞 the transfer wasn’t that pleasant for me either. Yes I’m trying to stay as calm and positive as ever. My period is due on Monday so hopefully it doesn’t not show up
