Sooooo, it’s done and I’m officially pupo!!!!! Resting in bed now and praying for sticky baby dust! @FayEgo congratulations on being pupo as well. And praying for great outcomes for all the ladies. Now, on to this two week wait that’s going to feel like 2 years instead 😩
@jessica8bryant I’m taking until Saturday off work (I do a lot of lifting of people) and I think last time I went back too soon (the next day). My beta is the 23rd but I’ll most likely do a home test in about a week because I’m impatient. Lol.
My coworkers know im doing it, mainly so that I can ask for extra help lifting if I need it. They’ve been supportive in the past.
@sue2019 you’re stronger than I am. Last time I gave in on day 8 because I couldn’t stand guessing at the symptoms. Some may be the meds, but hopefully it’s your embryo(s) settling in!
@ashcash03 Congrats!!! Try to stay busy but also make sure to rest and relax. Its snowing where I am at. It would be a perfect day to binge watch a series on Netflix.
I had my appointment earlier today to check my lining. I just got the call from my nurse a bit ago and it looks like I am set for a transfer this Monday, my lining was at 10mm. I start progesterone suppositories and PIO tomorrow and I am so excited. Now Monday just needs to hurry up and come (never thought I would wish that lol).
Me and DH 44 I am a genetic carrier using PGD testing Dec 2018 ER = 0 PGS normal embryos Jan 2019 ER = 1 PGD/ PGS normal embryo, 1 carrier embryo,

Hi Ladies! I hope its ok that I jump in. I'm super new here. **** trigger warning**** I'm a mom of two kids. First conceived from IUI but sadly was born with a congenital heart defect and passed in May 2015. Second conceived with Femera on my first try (such a blessing) and had no issues. Trying for our third and due to my history couldn't go thru IUI so after 3 rounds of Femera we started IVF. I am 8 days out from my fresh transfer and have been having bleeding issues since Monday (5 days post transfer). Doctor isn't sure why I am bleeding but says its not my period. Put me on progesterone but bleeding continued. Today is day 28 of my cycle and I've started to cramp a tiny bit. I'm pretty sure a BFN is in my future. I have two frozen embryos so I think next step is to prep for using one of those. I have no idea how that works or if I have to wait a month to go thru that. Just looking for others going thru IVF as its quite stressful.
DS born @32 weeks with IUGR and a heart defect. Passed away May 2015 DD born July 2016 TTC #3
@jessica8bryant that is the 3rd time today I messed up on what day it was 🤦🏽♀️ It’s like my brain has completely stopped working. I started the day going to my Friday meetings to find out it was only Thursday...
Hey ladies! I’m jumping over from the March IVF board. I had my ER yesterday and we have 19 embabies growing today! I know that number will drop but I’m so excited that we had such a good response to the stims. My transfer is set for Tuesday morning. This is my first round and any advice/encouragement is welcome! Sending positive vibes to everyone that this is our month!
Hey everyone! Checking back in after a very tiring week. Got a really bad cough and laryngitis the day following my transfer so I’ve been trying to take it easy but I’m a constant worrier, lol. Literally had a coughing spell so bad on Thursday that I thought my uterus was going to fall out. Anyways yesterday I felt a lot better. However this morning when I woke up I felt like I got hit by a freight train. I woke up to a face full of pimples 😬 barely had a voice and a terrible headache. I just felt like blah. I broke down and POAS even though I’m only 4dp5dt. **Trigger Warning**
@ashcash03 Congrats on the BFP, that is a very strong line for only 4dp5dt (twins perhaps). I think I would be the same way and worry that my body is too busy fighting off sickness and not using that energy to let the embryo stick. I am so happy for you and it just goes to show that sometimes there is nothing we can do, if the embryo is gonna stick it will stick no matter what we do or do not do. AFM I got the call from my clinic and transfer time is set for 1:30 this Monday. I am so excited!
@jessica8bryant thank you ☺️ it is a very strong line. Even more in person. We did transfer two embryos so twins are not out of the question.😬 I am excited for your transfer! I hope you have a better waiting period than I have been having. I certainly thought that there was no way it could work with me being sick but like you said, our bodies know what to do!
Something must be going around everywhere because I caught some kind of plague and have been a coughing machine since the day after transfer. I’m worried my cough did have an effect because I poas and it was negative. I’m trying to tell myself it’s too early, but I’m 5dp5dt of 2. Last time nothing showed til 8 days so I’m hoping I just tested too early.
i had to go to my RE for blood work and they assured me the coughing wouldn’t impact it one way or another though. They did add more estrogen so I now have 2 patches and 3 estrace tabs daily along with the progesterone shots, lovenox, prednisone, Claritin, and Pepcid.
@FayEgo I hope you feel better soon. And don’t lose hope, 4 days is really early. Best of luck to you.
I have my transfer on Thursday. Starting to really freak out. Luckily I have a friend in town leaving tomorrow so it’s helping make the time go by. Does anyone have tips for the PIO shot?? I started then sat am, and well, these are awful!!
@FayEgo have you tested again or do you plan to wait until beta? Wishing you the best.
@laurenc436 thank you, and as far as PIO I would just say to ice the area. I also heard that warming it up helps. I run it under warm water for a few seconds.
We transferred 2 perfect embryos today. Been resting all day and my boss told me to take tomorrow off so I think I will stay home after all. So happy but dreading this wait. Beta is on the 27th.
@FayEgo I hope you are starting to feel better! It’s definitely probably too early. I only tested because I woke up feeling so bad that morning and I was even surprised myself to see the results. Most forums that I have been stalking have mostly said 7 days. Please keep us updated ❤️
@jessica8bryant congrats on being PUPO, sticky dust your way! The 27th is good. My RE is making me wait a full two weeks and they have been adamant about not doing it sooner 😤 it’s complete torture!
@FayEgo I’m so sorry. But please don’t get discouraged. I’ve read where some women did not get a positive HPT until the day of their beta. There is still hope. I know easier said than done. I’m thinking of you! ❤️
This TWW is dragging. At work a bunch of us decided to join the March Madness fun so we filled out brackets. I must say it’s a really good distraction so far. TBH I am not much of a college basketball follower but so far I’m doing pretty good.
Question- I have a work event tomorrow night and I was thinking about getting my nails done. I am concerned that the smell might be bad for me during the TWW. What are your thoughts?
@FayEgo I am truly sorry. I know this can be devastating. I wish fertility issue did not exist at all. It is a heartbreaking thing to deal with. You are in my prayers!!!!
@FayEgo infertility is so cruel. I wish you the best!
@k_mama91 how is the TWW going for you? Did you cave or do you plan on waiting for beta?
AFM- I have beta scheduled scheduled for this Wednesday and although my lines have been getting darker I am not allowing myself to get too happy. I miscarried at 9 weeks with my last FET so I know that I have a long road ahead of me.
@jessica8bryant I haven’t caved yet and it’s killing me. DH and I celebrate our anniversary tmrw and I’m afraid of what our results may be so I’ll wait until at least Tuesday to POAS but my beta is Thursday so I may as well wait. Either way I’m like you, the fear of miscarriage almost robs us of some of the excitement.
Re: March 2019 FET
