    Nope!!!
    ETA: I was on the train so couldn’t say more than no.... they say the heat is bad for the embies, also no submerging yourself (even in a cool pool) till I think 6 weeks? 
    Thats what they said in my instructions

    @dragonette505 I'm so sorry for your loss, and I know how hard it is to be positive at times like this. But congrats on that line - and don't forget you can be happy about this even with all that is happening around you.

    Congrats, ladies!

    @dragonette505 I’m sorry for your loss :(. But yay for your squinter!  Even I can see it and I’m terrible at this (the lightbox thing kinda helps?) :p. Yeah, who knew staying pregnant would be so hard?  But one thing at a time.  Fx this is the sticky one!

    @J1006 That’s not even a squinter - how nice not to be tortured by one ;).

    Your betas are so late (I think compared to my first one at 9dp5dt?), I look forward to some solid numbers from you both (and @funkykey :).

    EDIT:  Never mind - not that late - it’s still early over here and fertility math’s never been my thing!

    @dragonette505 @J1006 - Congratulations! Those look like positives to me!

    So last night, I had some cramping. I've been having cramping throughout this TWW, which I like. And then this morning, I woke up with a kind of hot flash, like almost feverish. And I thought: "Ok, eff it, take a test."





    So, not great news from me. In person, I think I can see something, but it's so, so faint - like almost just the line of the dye. Ugh.

    Also, good luck for your beta today, @morganelizabeth123!

    Fx for you @funkykey. Some embryos do implant later than others (I’m pretty sure mine do), so you’re not out yet!

    funkykey Still early... my doc told me not to test until day before beta or morning of because it depends on your embies (not that I listened). Mine were not hatching (but were recovered and active) when they were put back like they were my last transfer when they were clearly hatching.
    Sorry this is so big..  I cant spoiler on my desktop for some reason... i'll go back and add a spoiler...




  • Options
    @dragonette505 @artemis618 @kristimh80 - I know, I know. I say it to people too: "It's still early". But the embryo was hatching already when it was transferred, and being honest, at 7dp5dt if it's still looking like that, on an FRER, it's really not looking good. You guys are very kind to say otherwise, though. But maybe @artemis618 you're right - maybe it is just a late implanter.

    These last two FETs, I told DH: "At this point, I'd be grateful even for a CP. Anything that could demonstrate that I can even get pregnant." Obviously, I don't envy anyone who has had multiple losses - that would be horrible. And obviously, I'm doing this so I can have a real, live baby. But I'm coming on 3 years of TTC and still absolutely nothing to indicate that this will ever work for me. So even a beta with a number like "10" would be huge, for me, at this point.

    UGH you Guys I’m sick! Allergies and asthma(I’ve had it my whole life)  I was prescribed some inhalers(advair and pro air), singular and cough medicine. The inhalers I’ve discuss with my nurse before and they are not an issue but I’m not sure about the cough medicine and allergy meds. My guess is since my transfer is still 10 days away it shouldn’t be an issued anyone else have any input I’m all ears.

    ndz2018  Last year ahead of my transfer I got a cold and took organic cough drops... that's pretty much it... it was a bit miserable, but since I had a week to get over it (and honestly, a cold goes away in a week usually even if you do nothing) and by a couple days before, I was all cleared up. I cant remember the brand though

    @laurengon82 @kristimh80 - ha. DH isn't a football fan, but he's been killing me lately with his.... fishing.
    It's all he wants to do, go out fishing. Preferably with me, but I don't like it. I went out briefly the other day and he was all: "Isn't this the best?" and all I could think was: "OMG, when will I get home?"

    @ndz2018 FX some good rest this weekend will kick your cold to the curb!
