Hi ladies is it really that late?? i thought it happened around 2-3 days after transfer? my last cycle when i concieved i think it did happen 2 days after transfer because all my pain stopped for 3 days but then started again 3 days later and i blammed the pain returning on my body rejecting it as i later miscarried, but maybe im wrong.
Actually i just rememered my nurse telling me when we had our first transfer that if it was going to implant it would implant in a few days, but i guess it may happen at different times too. Our embie went in still half un thawed because it was a day 6 embryo and they only get a day 6 one out that same day as transfer so not sure if this changes things either. I feel so differently about this cycle, im just so nervous about it working because i dont want to have 3-6 months off. Its funny how niave i was, firstly i thought id fall straight away and i also thought we would def get a baby out of our 4 blasty's and now im looking at going in for another STIM but im going to be positive and believe that this is going to be our time!
Oneday I think we are all quite naive when we start this process and we learn how hard it is along the way. Your right to stay positive hopefully this is it for you.
I got 9 eggs fertilised with my 1 and only stim and my FS said we would should definately get a postivie from it. Well I've had 1 fresh and 7 frozen cycles with 1 left so I hear you about panicing if this doesn't work. I was hoping to get a BFP sooner than this and have quite a few spare for number 2. Its now been a week since transfer and I really am not that hopefully I have been so sick and coughing so much it would be a miracle for this little to to have hung on
I hear you both. I was very naive as well for my first two stim cycles. Then getting pg naturally I thought I won't need IVF any more.
I'm not that confident about this cycle either. It's been a week and at least there's no sign of AF yet. I still have the full bloated feeling.
Terry there is still hope because once the embryo starts attaching it lowers the mums immunity so your more prone to catch a cold. When I fell pg I got a cold sore around the time of implanting. I also got some spotting and I haven't seen any. Although I'd probably freak out if I did.
Oneday I think my day 6 embie was a bit unthawed too. The embryologist said the middle part hadn't finished expanding but all the cells were alive. I hope you get your BFP and don't need another stim until TTC#2.
Happybaby I so hope your right that its the embryo that has caused my immune system to go down. Guess we are all starting to get nervous now cause the countdown is on. My normal AF is due to arrive this week but I know that with taking the pressaries it will be delayed. I also know that the last two cycles I have made it all the way to the BT but still got a BFP. The first time I was so excited cause i thought well AF hasn't arrived and its been 14 days only to be told that the pressaries etc can delay AF. Why does it have to be so hard. If this cycle doesn't work I think I will get tested for celaic disease saw on current affair last night that this can cause unexplained infertility I have had every other immune disease test so I figure one more cant hurt.
Thanks happybaby and Terry! it seems we all are feeling a bit down Im only 2 days in and im not feeling positive at all, im starting to feel like maybe i should have cancelled this cycle, on saturday i started to get lower back pain and then by sunday slight niggling cramping started (you would only know its there if monitoring) and iv had the cramping ever since and today is the first day i havn't had the back pain. The nurse thought that maybe the period like pains were due to low progesterone but iv had 2 BT's done and my levels are fine, im on a natural cycle so i can't blame any medication and AF is due on tues so the pain started a week and a half before im even due. Weird thing is iv experienced these same pains with my previous 3 cycles all the way through but always blammed the medication as this is my first natural cycle. Im so sorry to blabber on but im starting to really blame my self, instead of being so pushy all the time maybe i should have cancelled this month. My thoughton it is if my body is preparing for a period how can the embryo implant? I really hope you girls are feeling better then me. Terry i got a bad cold a week after my last transfer and was wondering why i was taking so long to recover and then found out i was pregnant, so don't stress it could be a good thing xx
Graet lot we are in this thread. Oneday I too sometimes get little niggles and back pain when I do cycles thinking its AF but too early to be AF. I think that our bodies are trying to do the right thing and hold onto that little embie and push it up to snuggle in. Hopefully thats what your feeling and this time it did implant. Don't beat yourself up and regret having another cycle straight after especially since its natural. Think that if is wasn't being done through IVF you still would have tried naturally with DH?
AFM this cough is killing me it flairs up each morning and every night night is definately worse and last night was a disaster. I was coughing so hard that I vomitted twice and now all I can think about is that my little embie has to be so strong to survive all this. Not really positive at the moment think I will cave in and do a POAS this Sunday just to put myself out of my misery
hey Terry thanks, you poor thing your cough must not be nice at all. But dont stress about the embryo, when i had my cold last time and was down i used to think of things like- if a person doing drugs and drinking can concieve then whats a cold? Like my DH said if its ment to be it will be so i think we all need to stop giving our selves a hard time because we dont deserve the extra stress. Iv also been thinking about doing a POAS on the w/e, i will be 5dpt and i did one before at that stage and it showed up but im just not sure if its better to do it or just wait as i know if its negative i will be a mess. Let us know how you go xxxx
Hi girls. I'm not feeling so positive today either. I didn't sleep well and I really don't feel UTD at all. This waiting is starting to get to me. I've decided I'm not going to POAS and wait for the BT results.
Terry I hope your cough is getting better. Yes a cough is nothing compared to some things people put their bodies through when they don't know they're UTD.
Oneday as Terry said you would've been trying naturally anyway and an IVF cycle increases your chances. The cramping does sound strange before the transfer especially as you're not on any meds this time. Do you think it could be your digestion and bowels? I've noticed mine have been cramping a bit. It's hard because we're listening out to everything that's going on in there. Anyway hope you're feeling more positive today.
Hello everyone else in the 2WW. Hope you're not going crazy.
Hey Happybaby, i am feeling a bit more positive today, the pains were still there slightly but only niggling. Im starting to think maybe possibly now the pains could be implantation pains? I know its early days for me but im pretty sure it implanted this time last cyle, so im just going to try and focus on that for now. I hope your feeling better to girls xx
Happybaby, when is your blood test?
Oneday My BT is on Monday and I'm feeling very nervous about it. Do you know what happens if it's a BFN? My FS said I didn't have to see him for another FET and could start straight away but not sure how it works. Will I stop the meds and then get AF then wait a month? Or can I keep going on the Pregnova for another transfer?
Happy I'm sure you are getting nervous now on the home stretch hopefully everything goes well on Monday for you. I've done back to back transfers before andhaven't had to see FS as long as my next cycle had been recorded so the nurses could tell me what to do. I might be worth talking to your nurses on Monday morning.
Oneday how are you going honey hope your still staying positive.
AFM that damn cough has finally stopped which is great but now I'm dealing with a runny nose when will it all end. AM starting to get nervous now and feeling like AF may be coming don't know whether that's just my head playing games with me or not. Anyway AF was due today so the longer it stays away the more hope of a BFP on Wednesday
Happybaby, very exciting not long keep positive. Yes you can do a back cycle when going from FET to FET and i went straight into it from my 1st FET, i got my period a day after my BT and then started the meds the next day and i dont see anything wrong with it cause thats when i got my BFP
Terry i am feeling more positive thanks, the cramping and back pain has stopped sometimes i get a few pinching feelings but im trying to tell my self its implantation? I have everything crossed that your nasty AF stays away
Amy, welcome theres only the 4 of us at the moment so nice you could join us! how exciting and dont be nervous you will be fine. The 2ww is the hardest part but your the closest to hopefully having your little bunle of joy so its a great feeling too xx
Hey Amy, you poor thing, my transfers are as simple as a pap smear and i dont feel a thing. The worst part for me is having a half full bladder and feeling like im going to wee on my DR lol. I have heard of this before though. Im glad everything elso went ok for you and i hope your 2ww isnt too long
Terry and Happybaby, how are you both going? have you been tempted by the POAS yet? iv been thinking about doing one but i think i want to try and wait so i can have a few more days before i hopefully dont have to face reality. xx

Hi Oneday glad your still in the race and feeling ok about things not long to go now
Happy hope that everything goes ok tomorrow and you get a BFP
Amy welcome and I hope your wait doesn't drive you crazy.
AFM I know I said I'd POAS today but I chicked out and DH didin't want me to do it. So I thought if I do it and its negative I wont be able to hide the disappoitment from him for another 3 days. I feel nothing at all this time which I'm hoping is good cause each other time I've felt things and it hasn't worked
Good on you Terry for not POAS sometimes i think they do more harm then good. Maybe this is the one for you and only 3 more days to go.
AFM still no AF but not due till tuesday, im very scared this time and nervous. I hope we all get our BFP's we deserve xx
Amy I remember the fresh transfers I had being painful. The FET I just has was completely painless which I was surprised at. I'll check out the photo on your blog after I've posted. Good luck for the 2ww.
Oneday Yes I had trouble with the full bladder and my hospital was over an hour late with their schedule. I was in so much pain I had to go to the toilet and then gup some water down. I was at the supermarket yesterday and I stopped by the HPT section but I didn't buy one so I can't find out until tomorrow. I'm feeling very nervous about it already. AF was due today and there's not sign of her but can't take that as a sign.
Terry Good on you for holding out with the POAS. I haven't felt much for a few days either just bloating and some (.Y.) tenderness.
but im going to be positive and believe that this is going to be our time!
