FET: 11dp5dt

I did a pregnancy test today, BFP. What a real surprise! And went to the clinic, did a blood test. HCG is 219. Alhamdulillah, I am 4 weeks pregnant today. Will be coming back to the clinic in 3 weeks time for our first ultrasound.

FET? Do not POAS until the day you are supposed to do so. Go see Dr Prashant and follow his advice :)

Symptoms this week - white creamy discharge at 10dp5dt, back pain, sore nipples more on the left one but not sore breasts, AF cramps but the difference is it feels like tugging kind of pain, no pimple at the face area, nausea on and off, and constantly hungry 10dp5dt onwards.

Praying for this pregnancy to stay and be a safe one. Hello first trimester, we meet again for the third time! Alhamdulillah.

FET: 6dp5dt

BFN...that is right, I tested and BFN.

AF cramps intensify today...need to plan my next IVF now.

FET: 5dp5dt

Heartburn...that is all. No other symptoms.

FET: 4dp5dt

I'm back at work today.

Today - slight whitish discharge, pulling/stretching of my abdomen/uterus but more on the left side again. Sounds promising. No AF cramps and am feeling heartburn from time to time.

The wait is killing me... and most ladies in 2ww im sure. It can go either way. By tomorrow, if it meant to be, implantation should have been completed. I leave it to Allah. He knows what is best. I hope and I pray for another child but if it is a negative, then I will make sure ill be ok and keep on trying. InsyaAllah...

Good luck ladies!

IVF - 11dpt3dt

Hi :)

Nope, I have not done hpt. I figured, if it is positive, I can be happy forever but if it is negative, why start feeling sad so early when I can delay the feeling until Saturday? So I am going to wait and see :)

Lately I have been feeling pretty tired and sleepy. But it has to be because I have not been doing any exercise lately. Other than lazing around, shopping trip, visiting friends and relatives, I have done nothing else. Boring...I will go back to work soon, I'm so tired of doing nothing.

AF cramp comes and go but not too bad. I felt the cramp this morning for an hour, then the cramp is gone. Normally, near my AF, I will have cramp plus one or two pimple. So far, no pimple on my face but I have one near my armpit that last for 2 days only. Now it is gone. So every morning, I wake up and straight away look for a mirror to check for pimples hehe.

Im taking a break from writing until my beta test this Saturday. My mother told me a story about a friend who went through IVF 4 times, no success. I am so scared. I can't think now, I hope God will help her and give her the strength to go through this hard time. I believe God is fair...I look forward to Saturday, the waiting is killing me but I will wait :) not too long now!

IVF - 8dpt3dt

Hello hello,

I have been ill since yesterday. Running nose plus mild fever and slight sore throat. I took 2 paracetamols yesterday and been drinking lots of water. I am worried that it might affects the embryo but at this stage, if pregnancy were meant to be, the implantation should have been completed. I am feeling much better now even though not 100% recovered...very worried still.

I have no symptoms I think. The cramping is almost gone but I do feel tired since last 2 days. Maybe cause I was ill...my sore breasts is almost gone too. Basically, I have explanations for all the symptoms, so that is why I think i have no pregnancy symptoms. This morning I had my breakfast at 11 and by 130pm I was very hungry. But it was lunch time anyway. Hmmmm

I am thinking of doing a home pregnancy test tomorrow or maybe Wednesday. What do you think? Dr P said the result may not be accurate, so he suggests Wednesday should be ok if I want to do hpt of which the result will be confirmed this Saturday when I do my blood test. should I?

So far, all signs point towards no sign of pregnancy :( So I am preparing for the worst but hoping for the best! InsyaAllah, we will be ok.

xoxo

IVF - 5dpt3dt

Hello,

I am approaching day 6 of my 2 weeks wait. Time flies pretty quick. We went to see Dr Prashant today. The wait was longer than usual, it was an hour wait. Dr P did a quick scan on my uterus and ovaries, the scan was on my tummy, so pants on ;) Uterus looks ok despite my worry about the leaking progesterone. My left ovary is bigger than my right but that is normal as I probably have more eggs in my left ovary. We froze 3 of my embryos, 8 cells which are of great qualities. My meeting with Dr Prashant was brief. If this cycle fails, I can start FET in January 2012...I'm staying positive but I have to prepare for the worst too.

Dr P prescribe me with Progynova 2 tablets a day :) Progynova is a synthetic hormone replacement for oestrogen. It is used to build up the lining of the uterus in preparation for embryo transfer or after ET. Side effects are uncommon, but breast tenderness, gastric upset, nausea, headaches and an increase in bodyweight have been reported. We shall wait n see :)

My 2 weeks wait so far. No symptom at all. Well, yes, still minor lower abdominal pain but I know that is from the eggs retrieval. I actually felt like I'm going to get my menses. I was reading online about other people's experience but for me, nothing. The only feeling is gassy. I actually have been farting like crazy (blush!). Pity hubby ;) but again, that is the side effect from ER. So to report, no symptom pointing towards pregnancy. I am so sad. I never fall pregnant but not even getting the chance to feel pregnant... :(

I will write again soon, until then Selamat Hari Raya Haji to my Muslim readers :)
