It feels like it has been 2 weeks already lol. I've been having slight cramps the past few days & yesterday had a teenie bit of brown spotting but putting that down to the transfer.

Due to test on 29th July - I don't think I'll test early as it bursts the hope bubble & I want to stay in it as long as I can.

This is my only embryo & I'm dreading if I have to go through IVF again - A) the money B) the upheaval of life C) the mental hangover. I had a 3 month break & life felt normal for that time. I really do want a sibling for my son but also feel rushed due to my low AMH & time not being on my side at 38.

Sorry as you can see my head goes into a spin 🥴

All the best for you, I hope it sticks! Can I ask what your Amh is? And what was your AFC?

My first IVF failed too. And I'm just so scared to have another go incase of failure

Thank you - it was 5pmol last July. I've had my AMH retested but don't want to know the result until I see how this pans out. My AFC was between 4-7 I think. Only getting about 4 mature eggs each cycle & one blast.

What about yours?

Mine was 4.5 over 1 year ago, AFC was between 3-6. Worried it will probably be lower now.

Yeah I guess it all depends. Hopefully it's still at an ok level xx

I completely agree, what is it about the 2ww that seems so much longer (and it’s often not as long as 2weeks anyway!). I find keeping busy and distracted helps it go more quickly as I have less time to think about it. I’m nearing the end of my 2ww finally now. Hope it passes quickly for you and you don’t need to further treatment

The cramping sounds like good news! I really hope it sticks for you 💗

Keeping everything crossed for you! I'm currently 6dp5dfet. I had embryo transfer on 16th, when did you have yours? Also, I've been told I've got to wait until 31st to test! It's agonising! Have you had cramps throughout the day and night? Or just at particular times? xx

I'd my transfer on 17th July. Yeah strangely they've put my test date as 12 days after transfer, it used to be 14 days. My cramps have been throughout the day, not keeping me up at night or anything like that. Could just be from progesterone or my cervix being tampered with lol who knows! xx

Hello, I think we’re at the same point as I’m 3dp5dt today. How are you doing? I had lots of lower back pain on day 1&2 but it seems to have eased a bit now. Xxx

Greenleaves1 in reply toCatmumtogoose5

It's hard to keep up isn't it lol I keep thinking I'm 5 days today but yep only 4!

I'm ok - just crampy the past few days like my period is going to come. Feel pretty unmotivated by everything at the moment lol do you reckon you'll test early? What grade was your embryo? xx

Catmumtogoose5 in reply toGreenleaves1

Haha the days are dragging! Yeah that’s a bit like how I feel, but it’s definitely been less today. I don’t think I’ll dare to test early, they’ve given me Saturday 27th as the test day so I’m working to that. It’s so tempting to test earlier but I can’t handle the uncertainty! How about you? Ours was a 4AA, what was yours? xx

It's scary to think from tomorrow we could have a pretty accurate result but no I won't test until 29th, maybe will do the 28th so I have time to process before family members ask on the 29th lol. Waiting on official test day will keep me in my hope bubble longer. Mine was a 4BB. My only frostie so if it doesn't work I'm back to square one xx

Greenleaves1 in reply toCatmumtogoose5

Hi - I've been pretty crampy since day 2 - few sharp ones and nausea the past few days. Probably all in my head though, or the meds. How are you? xx

Catmumtogoose5 profile image
Catmumtogoose5 in reply toGreenleaves1

I’m ok, my symptoms have died down a little bit which is scaring me. I had such a bad back and cramps from day 1-5. Just getting psyched out by it all now xx

Greenleaves1 in reply toCatmumtogoose5

The whole thing is a massive head melt. When are you planning on testing? I know I'd probably get an accurate result now but want to stay in my hope bubble for a bit longer xx

Catmumtogoose5 profile image
Catmumtogoose5 in reply toGreenleaves1

Me too, my clinic have told me to test on Saturday so I’m sticking with that. What about you? x

Greenleaves1 profile image
Greenleaves1 in reply toCatmumtogoose5
