2WW Third round IVF for baby no. 2 🤞🏻🙏🏻

[Sarah_a_2018]

Hi ladies,

been a while since I’ve posted on here. We have a wonderful 3 year old daughter from a successful FET at the end of 2019 and we’ve been trying since our daughter was a year old and no luck.

we weren’t going to try IVF and let nature take its course but after a chemical pregnancy last September we got the ball rolling to start a third round of IVF. Everything went smoothly and got 12 eggs at egg collection, the most I’ve ever had collected in 1 cycle! And we had a 3BB embryo transferred last week, I’m currently 6dp5dt and man has it been a slow week so far!

Anyone else in a similar situation?

Hi Sarah_a_2018 we’re in the same position! We had our son via a fresh round of ivf in 2019. We’re now having our second FET after a failed round last summer. I test on Monday and have found the wait so emotional. It’s good to reach out and share those feelings though I think!

Sending lots of good luck your way! Xxx

Best of luck to you when you test on Monday 🤞🏻🙏🏻

I’ve been a wreck all week 🙈 I go between feeling hopeful and let myself believe I could be pregnant and then I get a twinge or a dull ache that feels like af might arrive and I feel defeated again, I’ve had work to keep me busy during the week and I have a busy week next week so I’m hoping the next 8 days is going to feel quicker than the first 6 has 😅

I felt so much better being able to share on here, we haven’t told many people this time that we were even doing ivf, my mum knows and I had to tell my manager to get time off for scans and egg collection, just conscious that we are older and didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up especially when it might not go our way but I’m already feeling 🤢 could still be the progesterone and/or my nerves and there’s no sign of af yet 🤞🏻 but I’m taking it as a good sign that our little embryo is burrowing in nicely 🙏🏻 xx

Thank you!

I’m constantly symptom checking in both directions. The meds really do play havoc don’t they?!

Hope it’s all good signs for you though!! Xxx

6DP5DT today for me 🥴- feeling so bloated and tired so probably just the progesterone.

[Sarah_a_2018 in reply to Greenleaves1]

I can’t stay awake past 7/8pm the last few nights but then I’m up at 1/2am 🥴🙈 the joys of progesterone! It will hopefully be worth it I just wish I could fast forward to next week but even when I was talking to hubby about how we manage the next few weeks whatever happens just made me realise the 2ww is hard enough but the wait to get to first scan, then 12 weeks, 20 weeks until we have a baby in our arms 🙏🏻 xx

I know the TWW is just another milestone isn't it? The viability scan is another waiting game then 12 weeks. I worry between each stage lol I actually don't want to test 😔

I’m on day 6 today.. my OTD is a week tomorrow which feels an age away 🤦🏽‍♀️ we also have a 20 month old boy from a fresh cycle back in 2021. We had a transfer in dec but it sadly ended in a chemical so I’m symptom checking like mad. Thankfully I can’t remember from dec how i felt each day so I can’t compare.. the 2WW is tough!!

I am on 9dp5dt with OTD on Friday. I was so positive until 3 days ago when I felt my breasts were getting significantlt less sore than after the egg collection, I have really bad lower back pain (as I always do before af) and some cramping as well. Both my husband and I have counted ourselves out this time and I really struggle with it.

We conceived naturally in July and ended in mmc , then we conceived naturally again and it was a CP. So we decided to go for ivf abroad as we couldn't deal very well with waiting until it happens...

Have your clinic advised of blood test or HPT? Just thinking if I should take a test and get over with it but at the same time...I can't face another BFN.
