anyone

[Mrs_k2022]

anyone in the 2ww ? Im 3dp5dt and have written it off. I don’t know why I just have a strong feeling this hasn’t worked. I’ve been pregnant countless times (losses/ectopics💔) so know my body well. Tempted to add fuel to the fire and start testing early 😭

[Zinger22]

I am in the 2ww as well. Trying very hard to hold out to test day as I think it would stress me out more to do it early from what I have read of others. I would just try and distract yourself as much as possible. Fingers crossed for you! You never know what might happen. x

[theMumtobe]

Same 2ww. I always test with no self control, and the same strong feeling I will never be lucky coz it just never happened to me . But life carries on tho .

[Nane22]

hey there I am too! Going a bit mad currently to 5dp5dt and the medication is playing games with me so much! Had a wobble today convinced myself it hasn’t worked and preparing myself mentally. Don’t worry we all in this together.. got everything crossed for you! Xx you got this

mrs_k2022. I work on the premise you know nothing until you know something. My little one just turned 12 weeks today. Last year this time I had my transfer and I just knew it didn’t work. I know my body. I binned the scan from transfer day, took my meds back to the clinic as well as the sharps bin and booked my follow up appointment as I left the clinic after my blood test. I just knew it didn’t work and guess what it did - clinic called me at noon with the results and by then I had missed a dose of my meds! I frantically tried the dog walker to retrieve a copy of my scan from the recycling bin! and headed to the clinic to pick up a prescription. I even had a pret coffee and almond croissant as comfort food! I had no symptoms through out the pregnancy and didn’t even grow much- when I shared the news with my work at 20 weeks they were like where are you hiding this baby… no bump until week 39 and she was perfect size/weight etc. everyone is different and every pregnancy is different. I know positive thinking can’t get you pregnant (I used to hate when people used to say that to me) but it can make getting through the day little easier… don’t test until test day so until we know for sure - you are pregnant until proven otherwise!

Fingers and toes crossed!

Hi, my daughter is 5dpt. She never had any symptoms and never had a positive test in her 3 years journey. And more worryingly, for this medicated FET the embryo quality was very low (day-6 3BC). Nervously waiting, she is going to keep all medications until 12dpt with a blood test.

She may start urine tests from 8dpt. But sometimes I even wondered whether the test strips she used were sensitive enough. Was it negative urine tests that made you think your transfer didn't work? Which day did you have the blood test and what was your hCG level? Was your transfer a medicated FET?

[leo1980 in reply to Goldenfeather123]

Ah I see! No I never tested I just popped to the clinic on test day enroute to work… don’t worry about grade. My little girl has swim class with a day 6 embryo! He is a happy healthy boy!

[Goldenfeather123 in reply to leo1980]

Thank you!

[Mrs_k2022 in reply to leo1980]

This was me on day 7 Total hissy fit. Had a shandy and then on day 8 had a real coffee . But you’re right I should just embrace what I do know for now …. But I can’t 😩

[Trg25]

I am.... absolute torture isn't it. I think my days are the same as you, FET was Thursday so I am 4dp5dt today. Absolutely losing the plot! I am a serial tester and have got BFNs yesterday and this morning (I know it is mad to test this early but you always get those people on here saying they have had BFPs on day 4 etc. ) x

[Mango1990]

I had my first fresh transfer Saturday. They got 13 eggs, 6 fertilised but on transfer day they told us only 1 was of good quality. They confirmed this morning that none were good enough to freeze.

I’m a mess and trying hard to be positive. I was really hopeful we’d have some frozen.

Over the last 3 years of TTC I’ve never got to the stage of taking a pregnancy test, so the 12th Feb will be my first ever.

Sending everyone positive thoughts xx

[Mrs_k2022]

oh wow I forgot how wonderfully supportive this group is 🥹 thank you so much for all your kind words and responses. It really does make a world of difference when you’re in this difficult time! To not feel alone! I am keeping everything crossed for you all 🤞🏻

Stupidly Caved and tested today with early first response ( 6.3 mIU/mL sensitivity) Vvvvvvfl… I tested few days ago with some other ones that aren’t as sensitive (25 mIU/mL sensitivity) they were negative so i assumed the trigger had gone(wish I’d kept same tests throughout -schoolboy error🤦🏻‍♀️) and now obviously entered the whole next level of hell worrying if it’s still the trigger? Is it not? Is it even a line? Why did I do this 😩😩😩 last time I managed to hold out till OTD but not this time . Silly me. For those still holding out to test- please do because this is even worse than the waiting now 😩

[Trg25 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

I have never been able to find a test with 6.3mlU, the ones I get are 10mIU which is still pretty low though and they say they are '6 days before missed period'...

The logical thing to say to you would be 'wait 48 hours and test again to see line progression' but I absolutely would not follow that advice myself and I would prob be POAS as soon as I get home from work haha! Do not be like me serial tester and lost the plot.

However, you are going to go crazy either way if you test or don't, neither is right or wrong so I would just say do what makes you the least 'crazy' and do whatever YOU need to do to get you through this wait.

Sending lots of wishes your way xxx

[Mrs_k2022]

it must have been trigger shot left over- it’s stark white today at 5dp5dt 😓

[Mango1990 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

5dp5dt is still very early, it could have been the trigger but might still be too early for an actual positive. I’m sending lots of wishes your way. I’m 4dp5dt and desperately holding off but it’s constantly on my mind and sending me crazy xx

[Mrs_k2022 in reply to Mango1990]

Honestly hold on- this is next level hell. I wish I had just waited now xxx

[Jorjor123]

any updates ladies? I’m 4dpt today and negative 😭🥹

[Mrs_k2022 in reply to Jorjor123]

Now 6dpt and still the same vvvvvfl so just assuming maybe another chemical 😓

[Jorjor123 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

What tests are you using? I bought one step off Amazon and it’s given me 2 false positives!! When checked with a FR both times it’s been negative xx

[Kate-92]

I tested from the 1st day of transfer as I wanted to know from the get go. Didn’t get my positive (v faint) until day 9 - Don’t lose hope 🫶🏼

[Jorjor123 in reply to Kate-92]

Thank you for replying Kate, do you have a picture of line progression xx

[Kate-92 in reply to Jorjor123]

Yes x attached, mine were always stronger in the PM

Look at those lovely lines now 😍😍 you’ve given me a little hope. You deffo would have been negative before 9dpt. Have you any pics of lines before? I sound like a weird but I’ve saw so many people say they got negatives and I can see squinters 🤦‍♀️🥺 I’m 5dpt today and I’m refusing to test. I spent all day yesterday upset and crying 😭 xx

[Kate-92 in reply to Jorjor123]

I’ve just found this one but it’s from a different test, the cheaper strips in my original pic I didn’t get a line until day 9 x I remember testing on day 7 and it was stark white & I thought we were out - don’t give up x

[Jorjor123 in reply to Kate-92]

Update… I tested positive yesterday on a FR in the afternoon and again in the evening 🤞🤞🥳🥳

[Kate-92 in reply to Jorjor123]

Yaaaaaay 👏🏼🫶🏼 x really hope everything goes well for you, I remember these early days so well x congratulations x

[Mrs_k2022 in reply to Jorjor123]

Amazing news 🥰Im going to be a dick and ask what your lines are like 😆🫣 so paranoid mine are too faint and it’s going to be a chemical

[Jorjor123 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

I have tested with all different brands so not really any line comparisons 😳🤣 However I got pregnant 1-2 on clear blue yesterday so I’m gonna leave it a week and take another hoping to see pregnant 2-3 lol xxn

[Mrs_k2022 in reply to Jorjor123]

Oh I didn’t dare go for the weeks one 😂 I thought that would send me even more doolally !! I’ve tested with 4 different types too though but just the lines one and have cheapy ones for progression . Can’t afford to fund a FRER addiction!!

[Mango1990]

How is everyone doing? I’m slowly losing the plot. My husband is away working this weekend so it’s even worse. I’m 8dp5dt and I’ve just started spotting which has panicked me and I’m over thinking everything.

[Mrs_k2022]

sensitive

So today is OTD - positive tests but extremely guarded as I still think they look quite faint . I can post photo but don’t want to cause anyone any angst or upset . I knew I’d feel like this whatever happened unless it was a blazing positive dye stealer (which is never going to happen at this stage!) just worried there is no line progression. I have had chemicals and ectopics and early losses you name it so don’t need to hear about the test not being quantifiable because I’ve been there done it and watched as it’s slipped away. And equally, without regular testing I would have potentially missed all of my three ectopics!!

I am now in the hell of trying not to buy multiple tests and obsess over line progression. It just never ends 😩

Is tomorrow your otd mango? Are you taking meds? Could it be implantation?? You’re doing so well and especially with your husband not being there with you, you must be made of strong stuff xx I’m keeping everything crossed for you xx

[Zinger22 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

Sensitive

Congrats on the positive test! I got my positive yesterday on my OTD. It was faint on easy@home but stronger on FR. It is my first positive so I am hoping it is just down to the sensitivity in the tests. I am also in that spiral of trying not to buy a lot more tests. I hope it continues well for everyone xx

[Mango1990]

That’s brilliant news, but I understand what you mean about being guarded. I’m sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

I’m on progesterone twice a day but nothing else. This is the first time I’ve spotted and not really had any weird signs. I’m waiting to test until my OTD which is not until Wednesday as my husband really doesn’t want me to as he knows it’ll make me spiral. I just have a feeling it’s the start of my period, but I’ll have to just wait and see.

[Mrs_k2022]

oh wow that’s great news zinger congratulations 🥰 don’t be like me and don’t order more 😆 so easy to say live in the moment and enjoy the fact that it’s positive. Never that easy to actually do it when you’ve been through a shitty journey getting here is it ?! 😓 everything is always a bit tainted I find.

Mango you’ve got such amazing will power and rest assured from someone who has done the not testing and the testing … the testing is 100% worse in my experience!!! Here’s hoping you’re having a bit of implantation bleeding and that’s all. Keep us posted for Wednesday 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 keeping everything crossed for you .

I’ve been told I wasn’t getting progesterone which fills me with dread 😩 was a natural modified with Hcg which I didn’t really want either but they talked me into it. I just wanted progesterone! I feel like it’s a bit of a security blanket. Last time I rationed what they gave me so I could drag it out longer 😆🤦🏻‍♀️

[Mrs_k2022]

how is everyone doing? I had beta result of 342 yesterday morning … they seemed happy but meh I’m not sure, still feeling like this is going to go very wrong. Especially since I can’t stop testing and just got quite a significantly lighter test. Been out all day too so don’t feel like I’m particularly hydrated 😔

[Jorjor123 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

I’m all good. Haven’t and won’t be having a Betaz just an ultrasound at 7 weeks 🤞🤞 Strong line progression 10dpt now so praying all works out well. Was that your first beta? Have you another booked? Xx

[Mango1990 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

Today was my OTD and it was a BFP. It’s hard to believe and I’m also still very guarded as I know a lot can go wrong. I’ve got my 7 week scan booked in for 5th March. 3 weeks to wait 😖 I had quite consistent spotting from about day 9 but that seems to have slowed right down.

I was excited to get a nice hot bath tonight but I think if I go by Google I’ll have to give that miss for quite a while!

I hope everyone else is doing well and I’m sending my positive thoughts to everyone xx

[Mrs_k2022 in reply to Mango1990]

Amazing news mango 🥰 congratulations 🙌🏼 xxx

I’m so please a lovely hot bath is out of the question for you 🤣😃

[Zinger22 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

My clinic doesn’t do blood tests unless they are concerned, so I just need to wait for the viability scan on 25 Feb. I have kept up testing which has given me some comfort for now. Still solid line progression, but I think I might hold off more now. The wait is so hard! x

[Mrs_k2022]

so first beta 11dp5dt was 342 … todays at 13dp5dt 859! So it’s shot up and possibl explains why I feel so hideous today. Had an awful 24 hours though as i stupidly decided to do another test yesterday and it was much lighter… but the beta result days otherwise today! Thankfully.

I couldn’t understand yesterday’s test as i was definitely not hydrated so when I saw fainter lines I thought it was over. Just goes to show checking the lines not always a good idea. I’ve tried to promise myself and my husband I won’t put us through that again and leave it for now. I’ve got a scan booked for next Friday just to check where is is as I’ve had 3 ectopics previously 😩 so they want to just confirm it’s not anywhere it shouldn’t be .

Honestly this rollercoaster never ends does it 🫣

[Mango1990 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

That’s such amazing news! So glad it’s all progressing nicely x

[Zinger22 in reply to Mrs_k2022]

That is great news it is progressing well! Fingers crossed your scan goes well, though I know the wait for it will be hard. x
