TWW testing week February 15th

jennhart1006

I had my natural cycle FET on monday so today is 3dpt. Waiting and analyzing everything is the worst. Anybody else testing the week of the 15th?

There is a thread started for two Feb 6 already. You should jump in there because it is pretty active!  

jennhart1006

jennhart1006

Hello! This would be my first post ever (random test post non-withstanding)  
ET done this morning, Beta #1 is on the 13th for me so, I'll be waiting along with you.

I'm pretty scared actually so rather than analyzing, I'm praying I won't notice anything
FX for you @jennhart1006

jennhart1006

FX for you @leakypen! Waiting is the worst part. I had a chemical pregnancy on a fresh cycle in Nov. If this time isn't successful we are done.  Makes it even more stressful!

twomommiestobe

Well.... I should jump in here then. Lol

 I'll have my beta 2/19. We are doing a fresh transfer 2/10.

@jennhart1006 I'm so sorry to hear you've been through that... It's actually my worst fear. I applaud you as do I many other ppl who've attempted again after the first IVF since I don't think I will try again. So we're in the same boat there. 

I'm done here whatever the result.
As for the TWW, I plan to spend it at work or watching as much comedy as I can... I'ma try laugh my way through this

@twomommiestobe jump on in! I technically should be in the other one, but I liked this proximity to my date, haha... Also tbh I felt like a bit of an interloper. 

GL to you and wifey ☺️!

We had 2 frozen after fresh cycle. We thought about just thawing one at a time but the embryologist suggested we transfer both so....we're all in! Hoping and praying one sticks.

I had my first frozen transfer yesterday.  We transferred one PGS tested 5 day blast. We are scheduled for first beta on the 13th.  Good luck to everyone. ❤️

Hi ladies! I'll jump on in as well as I had my ET this morning and 1st beta on 2/15. This is my first ivf cycle and I'm praying it works because I don't think I could do this again. Good luck everyone and Fx we all get BFPs! 

laur2835

Hi everyone! I'm on the January/February IVF board and had my first fresh transfer on Monday. We transferred one healthy 5 day blast, and beta is scheduled for Wednesday 2/10. I am beyond nervous and so pessimistic after 3 failed IUIs with injectables. Don't want to test beforehand, but I'm def reading into everything already, and am nervous by the fact that I've felt semi normal the past 2 days! Ughhh!!! Lol

Jerseygirl856

@laur2444 I did fresh transfer too. If I may ask, are you taking estrace pills or estradiol patches?  I'm taking both but I thought it was a bit strange and when I asked my RE he said I would stay on this protocol until my beta. 

laur2835

I'm doing progesterone injections @jerseygirl856....they don't hurt but I look like someone beat me up. Lol I'm so bruised....

Jerseygirl856

@laur2444 haha I can totally relate.

Hi girls, I'll be testing near the end of the week of the 15th. Femara+Trigger+TI+Progesterone here. Today is trigger day with a 25mm follicle and 7.5mm lining. I'll be testing out my trigger so maybe I can test for real a little early. FX for all of us!

akcrowe

I test on the 11th. Some days I'm super anxious and then others I don't mind waiting it out. Such a rollercoaster. Oh IVF....

We did a 5 day fresh transfer last weekend. FX for everyone!

jennhart1006

So I caved and poas this morning. It was neg. Honestly I'm an addict so I'll probably be testing every am and pm for a while!

So I got this this pm what do you all think? I don't know what to think....

This would be 4dp5dt right? I see a little bit of a line there but I don't know what to make of it. I'm not super familiar with IVF but have others gotten a positive at this time point before?

jennhart1006

It's possible. I don't think it's the norm. It is soooo faint. It's a little darker in person but.....I just don't know. It's so frustrating second guessing everything.

jennhart1006

Yes 4dp5dt.

Are you going to do another one in the morning? FX for you!

jennhart1006

Umm yeah! LoL. Thanks

leakypen

Is anyone else feeling detached? I'm feeling so far removed from this process like I can't believe it's even happened to me... 

Even seeing the blastocyst picture and the ultrasound image just doesn't do anything for me. I think I shed a few tears during the ET but other than that I've been quite apathetic...

Self defense mechanism? Anyone?

Jerseygirl856

Hi everyone! Just checking in to see how everyone is feeling? 
Afm-I'm having dull cramps on and off with some twinges. No implantation bleeding or spotting. My boobs are sore but I know it's from the progesterone. I've had that since before ET. I feel no different but I'm trying to remain relaxed and not freak out over it. Good thing I have work to keep my me occupied. 

laur2835

I feel the same as well @jerseygirl856. No implantation bleeding, as for cramps, I haven't really had any since the day after transfer. I have felt weird twinges on and off though, but not painful at all. My nipples are a little sensitive if I touch them, but nothing that I would normally notice.  So stressed out that I should be feeling more!! Lol oh I also have been having very weird,vivid dreams that I remember all the details of when I wake up, but maybe just because I'm going so nutty through this whole journey lol Wednesday can't come soon enough and I hope it's good news!!!

laur2835

@leakypen I hear ya....I can't believe I'm waiting for my beta and all the leg work is done (hopefully!!). I have been super emotional from all the hormones I think, and keep crying at the drop of a hat. I sorta feel like a zombie though, just going through the motions. We went out to dinner tonight and for the first half hour I just sorta sat there staring. Too many thoughts running through my head and it's all about this journey!!!

Jerseygirl856

@laur24444 I'm trying to stay away from dr Google and just wait it out. I know it's not easy after all we go through but try to think positive. Fx we all see BFPs this month! Is Wednesday your first beta or will you POAS? 

Edited b/c only half of my reply posted. 

leakypen

@Jerseygirl856 Got AF-like cramps today too. Thought it was for a second since I'm about 3 days away from (what would be the end of my cycle) CD26 and I keep getting psyched out that AF is here. That's it really - kinda revving my head up to expect it sooner or later, so the shock of "Blood...it's blood" isn't so comsuming.

@laur2444 I feel like we've walked right into PTSD. I don't know how else to think of it after all this time. Confronting ourselves is the worst. I am sorry that you're feeling it right along with me. On the plus side your beta is around the corner right? (I know not soon enough)... but it's almost here! The trick will be is to trick your mind out until then haha... something I'm having some difficulty with.

In general - don't mean to sound like the bummer of the board! Just being "ril deep" by my lonesome. No DH to talk to etc. (he works out of country). So this will be my "ril deep" post, I promise.

@jennhart1006Did you do a trigger shot? 

Jerseygirl856

@leakypen hopefully it's not AF but implantation. I'm trying to stay positive and not symptom search on Google. I can admit it's difficult not knowing and just waiting..hang in there. If you need to vent or talk it out, use this forum to do so. I'm sure we can relate to some degree as we are in the same boat! Sending hugs and positive thoughts! 

leakypen

Thanks & hugs @Jerseygirl856 right back at you too ☺️ FX for the 15th and everything else!

I find the whole concept of implantation "twinges/cramps" hard to believe though... Bc it's something so microscopic - so how can that even impact our giant (in proportion) bodies... Just... How... Mind blown 

Anyway - my downstairs situation is still playing tricks on my mind bc in addition to AF-feelings, the dampness from the progesterone supps really drive me up the bathroom walls! It's like - show yourself or get out

Jlowen2

Anyone having the same symptoms as me? I should be 11dpo today and having intense pains on the left side of my stomach. I keep wiping but only a lot of white, lotiony cm. I only took vitex and primrose this month. Boobs hurt a little and been feeling "wet" down there for 4 days.

EWBauer29

I'm in my TWW too - I go in for my beta on 2/15. This is the longest I've ever had to wait before. A full 14 days after my 5dt. How are you ladies all holding up? Anyone throw in the towel and poas?!

leakypen

Mine is on Saturday... Which doesn't seem too horrific... But I just might POAS a little closer to then, haha 

Maaaybe ☺️ 
The wait sucks though

Jerseygirl856

hi ladies! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? 
@EWBauer29 my beta is scheduled for 2/15 but I'm pretty sure I will test this weekend. DH birthday is on Saturday and I told him I would as part of his birthday gift. Hopefully I can hold off until then

laur2835

Beta tomorrow! Freaking out over here. I don't feel any different so hopefully this isn't a bad sign!

Jerseygirl856

@laur2444 I can imagine! Fx that it's a good sign and your cycle is a success! I'll be checking for your update tomorrow

Jlowen2

GL to everyone testing! Yesterday, I had sharp pains and now today, no sharp pains but having af like cramps. I'm 12dpo now. Not sure when AF arrives though since I'm irregular. Gonna test in the morning!!

leakypen

@laur2444Freaking out is part and parcel but remember that all our bodies are different... Mine is currently channeling AF vibes and I'm not so stoked about it

FX for tomorrow!
Think good things...

GL on your am test @Jlowen2 !

Hoping for positive vibes all around!
