Had our 4th frozen transfer on Tuesday 16/4...took a few days off work to rest up...I've a history of spotting in FETs both before and after transfer. Same issue occuring this round but ...it appears to be side effect of meds. It's hard not to worry during these long two weeks though
Anyone else on the 2ww ride?
🙋🏻♀️ I had a fresh day 5 transfer on Saturday 13th! The wait is horrendous!
Good luck! 🤞🏼
It sure is!! I've taken to going to bed earlier just so it will go quicker😅..Good luck to you too☘️ you've nearly a week done!🤞
Same 😂 I’m in bed right now 🤣 I’m glad I’ve been at work really as if I’d been in the house all day it would have killed me!
Yes, for once work is helpful as the week flies by!!
Hi ♥️ I’m on day 7 and I made the rookie mistake of testing when I still had the trigger injection meds in me and there was a line so I was super excited and then I tested again yesterday day 6 and there was nothing . So I’ve just decided to not test until I’m supposed to on the 25th ! One minute I’m planning my child’s future and the next I’m thinking about how to tell friends and family it didn’t work ! lol absolute rollercoaster, I have also had very little to no symptoms Barr sore boobs! Send you lots of love and baby dust ♥️🤞🏽 x
Absolutely, it's so hard to wait till test day...I've really no symptoms either. I have been through this now a few times but this wait time never gets easier 😅...Baby dust to you too xx
meee 🙋♀️. Same transfer day 16/4. This is transfer 8 (all FET). We were so lucky that on our 4th we got pregnant with our brilliant daughter. This is a new batch of embryos & im also fully medicated, progesterone three times daily & prednisalone. I spotted on all but 1 of my transfers, especially the one that worked, but no other symptoms (but I didn’t get ANY symptoms in pregnancy ever). I don’t have much hope sadly. I think it’s my head protecting my heart. Glad to have some fellow 2WWers!
I also had my 3rd transfer on Tuesday, 16/04! 💫❤️ I have spotted / bled on previous two cycles but from about day 5 onwards so I am anxiously waiting / praying that I don’t see any blood this time as I know how triggering it can be, when it can actually be a good sign!
Send me a message if you want, we are in this together xxx
Yes I had my last ever transfer on the 16th too. Trying to survive the wait one day at a time. Good luck!
me !! Constant cramps and trying to stay positive , it’s hard ! Xxxxx
staying busy is definitely the key to this waiting … I’m also really tired but that’s from the progesterone… good luck ladies 💫✨ xxxx
lots of support for us all on this little thread then! Xx
Ah so many of us in the same boat☘️🤞 and it's nice to know a few others are on the longer route to motherhood. This is our 4th FET and really hoping this round is the one as we only have one embryo left. Yes spotting can be so nerve wracking as we don't know what it means😬... I'm also so tired from the drugs..it's unreal! Feel old 😅 Baby dust to all xx
My 4th transfer was on the 16th too... 😊 First day was great, so calm and relaxed about it all... From yesterday my mood is up and down (really emotional, get upset so easily about anything) and from this morning I have slight cramps... The calm and relaxed is over... 🤣 Its 'running mind' time... 🥴 Wishing you and everyone the very best!!! 🤞🏼 Sending you lots of strength and patience... (not that I have much myself... 🤣) When is your test date? 💕
We test on sat 27th. I will not test early. I’ve done that once before & I felt like the sadness came every day rather than just OTD. I’ve never used prednisalone before so hoping that may help us, we do have a daughter who I bled a LOT with from transfer to about 7-8 weeks. 4 early miscarriage & 6 failed transfers. I wonder if I have high killer cells or something? X
I also had my 4th transfer on Tuesday 16th, all previous have failed and I have no more frozen so praying this is the one. I was super relaxed on day 1 but since yesterday afternoon my mind has been up and down! I've never spotted after a transfer but not sure if that's good or bad. I don't normally get anything till 3 - 5 days after stopping the meds. Shows how different we all are!
Hi good morning, I'm on day 10 of FET not much symptoms, apart from waking up early and now being tired, sore boobs.. I keep expecting a bleed and a failure as this is what has happened on other cycles... Still resisting the test really would like to... Hopefully it works for both of us, 2WW is a challenge I'm shopping for curtains as a distraction 💗💖x
Does this mean you test tomorrow? X
sore boobs sounds promising? Or can the drugs do that? X
Hi I test on Tuesday, yes I think progesterone can give you sore boobs, cramping and tiredness tricky to tell as it's normal side effects.... 🤞🏻🤞🏻🌈
Hope test day has been a success. Keep us posted if you feel you can xx
Yes I feel kinda down in my mood last two days but I'm putting it down to hormones...pms type emotions? It's so hard to concentrate on anything...shopping is a good distraction though, I'm researching coffee tables lol 😂. My Beta test is Monday 29th but clinic informed me that results will not be in till Tuesday! so we may test ourselves around that date. Tbh I've never had a positive.. ..so I dread home testing. Yes I also expect the worst, even though I'm hoping for the miracle. We've been at this a while, so I think it's a way to protect yourself...it's a rollercoaster 🎢🎢🎢🎢
I had my second FET on Wednesday 4/17. Only a few days into the 2ww and it’s already killing me. To everybody who also just had transfers or upcoming transfers, I wish you all calm nerves during your 2ww and positive tests! 🤞
I also had a FET transfer on the 16th, our fourth attempt since having my son.
Fingers crossed for you. Seems there’s lots of us on this post! x
So many of us! Hopefully it’s a lucky day! X
Since this afternoon, I've had a very noticeable back ache on my right side..it's accompanied with some spotting, but as I've been spotting every day so it's hard to know what this is😬... I'm really worried that my period is starting as that has happened me in previous failed rounds..praying to the IVF gods it's not over yet 🙏 🥵✨
Try and take it easy over the next couple of days, when we wake up we are 4 sleeps down. Sending you love xxx
It’s really hard, sometimes I think those twinges could be implantation, the spotting too. I bled so much with the round that worked, I was so convinced it was another negative, I had a glass of red wine! What I’ve learnt is that although the odds are against us, youre never put until you’re out. We test 1 week today. My first thought when I woke today was ‘this time next week we’ll know our fate’ xx
Thanks for your reply! I always feel some relief when I read others who experienced mystery spotting/bleeds during FETs. I woke up yesterday with no back ache and the spotting has tapered off . So I had a good busy day out and about in the sunshine and took a good break from googling symptoms 😅.
Hope everyone is well. The sunshine helps💯
I too have light spotting & mild twinges. Wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t ivf I’m sure. Oh to be naive!! We have 4 days until test. Xx
Im spotting too today ..im bit worried now as no other symptoms. Your test day is Saturday? Mine is not till next Monday in the clinic, seems so far😳
Test on Saturday 👍🏻🤞. Grateful for it falling on a weekend xx
Glad you two are baring up still. I’ve not had many symptoms either, a couple of twinges but again not sure if not doing IVF I’d have noticed them!
My test day is Sunday - we are over half way ladies xx
How are you getting on now?
I’m on day 3 post transfer. No symptoms whatsoever but I was feeling really unwell over the weekend with an ear and throat infection so I think that has been distracting me more than anything. I’m feeling better today. I was on antibiotics that were suitable for pregnancy and they made me really sick which did worry me but there was nothing I could do except rest.
This will be my 6th transfer all and all and I’ve never had a positive although this is also the first natural cycle I’ve gone through with progesterone support. I have one more embryo in ‘storage’ I’m trying to be as relaxed as I can although I know this ttw carry on has many, many ups and downs. My usual pattern is to feel fine for the first 5 days as it’s too early to tell things anyway and then I start to panic slightly. I’m hoping not to go through the panic and the hurt again as well so I’m just trying to think more calmly and remember above all else to breathe!!!
This whole journey has been such a test of my strength over the last while but with this one, I’m trying to not let it take over my whole head space and well-being, difficult as that may be.
I hope you are doing ok. Sending all the good vibes your way ✨❤️✨
Ah I hope you are feeling better and those antibiotics are doing their stuff. Life just throws so much at us and sometimes and we really don't realise how strong we are!!
Yes we also have just one left and I'm also freaking out that this transfer fails aswell. I'm afraid to test tbh...I'm too traumatized from past Twws😬😅 I do know the longer you leave testing the more peace of mind you can have in the 2WW.
I went back to work this week so that's a distraction for sure.
The spotting returned last night and an achy feeling, so I really dunno if that's good or bad (it's on and off).
All the best and please 🙏 it's our turn xx
We’ve made it through the first week!! Hope you’re all doing ok.
I had some cramps on Saturday and then again Sunday morning with a bit of light spotting for a few hours so I’m hoping that’s a good sign. Usually I’d have nothing at all that early on. Trying hard to only think about a day at a time but I’m already worrying that if it is a positive result I may then end up going through a miscarriage as I had one before my son and have had one since having him. He’s now 6 and we’ve been under our fertility clinic for 10 years, so very lucky to have him but even having one didn’t stop the longing for another. Praying this will be the end!!
I’m working today, hopefully that’s going to distract me 😬
I get it. The longing is different, I want a sibling for our daughter just as much as I’d like a second child for me/us. Hope that doesn’t sound greedy when we’re so lucky to have 1 already (ivf round 4) x
Exactly. We are already very lucky and I’ll never take that for granted. I’ve enjoyed every second with him.
When he started school and everyone in his class had a sibling I found that really hard.
I’m also on round 4 since having him.
Wishing you lots of luck x
Yes I am on my 2nd frozen transfer. Fingers crossed and well wishes to all xxxxx
Good luck. When do you test?
I test tomorrow morning which seems a lot earlier than the others in this thread. Feel really anxious today. x
Good luck! Xxx
Everything crossed for you!! 💞
It was negative 💔
Oh I'm so sorry 😞 it never gets easier..take care of yourself❤️
Oh darling. I am so sorry xxxx
I test on Saturday morning. Feeling so lightheaded just want to sleep until then. But fingers crossed for tomorrow. Wishing you all the best🤗
Tested this evening as just want time to process over the weekend. Unfortunately BFN for us 💔. So disappointed as we come near end of our IVF journey. 6 embryos failed to implant over last 4 FETs. It's heartbreaking. We have one left but I've no interest in doing this again😭.
I wish you all your BFP!!☘️ It's lovely to read that some of you get positives after multiple failed rounds!
Aw I’m so sorry, I came back to check hoping that at least yours would be positive 😔
I retested this morning as well as I’ve had no bleed and I feel pregnant but it’s the medication, still negative. I have to test again on Monday before they allow me to stop.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Is it worth re-checking with AM urine? Hope you’re ok xxx
a negative for us too this morning xx
I'm so sorry 😔 it's a very hard road. I also retested this morn but still negative. Take care of yourself over next few days 💔
Sending you both love, we’ve also tested negative this morning. So awful x
So sorry to hear that for you😞. It's just so heartbreaking x
Oh no. Golly no luck for any of us. I hope you’re all doing as ok as you can do. Really hard but somehow we pick back up afterwards xxx
So sorry to hear that. Look after yourself x
