Transfer complete!

Hi everyone! Today I had my transfer and I just went for a wee. I saw a few tinny bubbles and now I'm thinking my embryo has managed to slip out! I know people say this is impossible, but what if it slipped out with the fluid that it was carried in with? It was a long wee, I drank two pints of water instead of the a...

Late

Cycle 6 days late- negative pregnancy tests. LH level read .39 and almost violently in the mood. Read a 🌶️ book the past couple days and convinced I started but it definitely wasn’t that.. (which never actually happens) Not sure what’s going on…

Negative test on day 6 of 5DFET

Online I keep finding people who tested as early as 4 after transfer and got a positive. Had a biochemical recently, so started testing earlier this time. Are there many people who got late positives and pregnancy turned out ok?

Unsure on whether to cancel FET- help!

I have a low AMH but managed to get 5 PGT tested embryos. Having issues with my lining- only got up to 7.8mm after maximum drugs. Looks trilaminar and no scar tissue. In my mind I really wanted to get above 8mm so not to waste embryos as I know success rates are higher… Should I transfer or cancel the cycle? I hav...

Very hard

Hi ladies. I’m currently 10DPO and testing negative. In such a bad headspace with it all! Been 12 months of trying and I’m fed up. Having acupuncture next week as we really want a second but it’s draining me. Just sending solidarity to anyone in the same boat, it’s really tough ❤️

Ovulation tests

I’ve been taking an ovulation test every day since my period, sometimes twice a day. It doesn’t look like it’s changing much though. Is this normal?
