Got a positive pregnancy test this am, happy but not over the moon due to feeling anxious about the long road ahead and if this one will be our rainbow baby..
This is going to be a really tough journey and after a miscarriage, chemical and stillbirth I am really scared! All my innocence about pregnancy has gone and so I feel really vulnerable but I hope one day I will be able to enjoy this I just πππππ this is our sibling for Harrison and our take home baby..
I guess I have to keep busy and just get through each day ahead one step at a time but that is easier said than done!
1st decision is wether or not to start on aspirin, fertility clinic said straight from positive pregnancy test and obstetrics said not until 12 weeks?? The only reservation I have is that I had very very heavy bleeding when pregnant with Harrison so I am a bit scared to take it but if I don't and I miscarry I will blame myself!! Going to ring clinic for advice.
I hope I am not getting carried away too soon just want to give it my best shot as can't take anymore heartache..
Anyway natural FET's do work π If anyone needs reassurance about that xx

Hi Hun I had a phone call this morning . I have good looking 3 embies ..the embies nr 4 got 4cells but they don't mark him down yet .. They say that they keep eye on it . π My transfer is this Saturday 11am . I'm so happy and nervous ... I hope the "little one nr 4 "...will catch up and from those other 3 will be some to freeze ππ Thank u Hun and once more big big conratulation ππππ
I'm ok thanks. Been 'busy' catching up on my favourite tv series and doing a jigsaw puzzleπ I usually get a massive pimple before my period and I have one now so I'm pretty convinced it hasn't worked but I'm ok. I want to be super positive but it hurts to be so disappointed. Oh well, I've told myself that what will be, will be! X
Had a scan yesterday and was measured at 10w 4days saw the little bubba and heartbeat so pleased. Long way to go still but nearly at the 12week mark! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy xx
congratulations! Re: Aspirin, I took it this cycle from the day after transfer and will take it up to 12 weeks. The idea is it increases blood flow to the uterus to assist in implantation and then helps prevent early miscarriage by stopping clot formation. Therefore I don't quite understand why they'd advise it after 12 weeks?? No idea if it helped with my BFP after failed fresh, but who knows! (I'm 10 weeks Tuesday)
Huge congrats to you! I hope after everything you've been through that this will be your turn and as you say, a sibbling for Harrison. Similar journey to you in relation to miscarriages and will be doing a natural fet in november so this gives me hope. I'm to start aspirin from first day of bfp along with clexane when a hearbeat is seen. Completely undertsand what you mean about all the joy being taken away, its more a feeling of huge worry after a positive, but take each day as it comes. Good luck xx
Oh good to see another fellow natural FET! They certainly do work! Yes it's one hurdle after another but the time in between each hurdle is tough! I want to be able to be excited but it's hard because I feel sad for Harrison and terrified of losing another baby! X good luck for November! I had acupuncture pre and post transfer, that could have helped too! X
Maybe have a reflexology session every week/every other? I had it with my last cycle and although that was a chemical it really helped relax me in the 2ww. I've started accupuncture this time as well, but really don't enjoy jt, reflexology is far more calming and relaxing but i'm going to mix the two this time as I do think accupuncture has good benefits. You will always think of Harrison, and thats perfectly natural, but he'll be on your shoulder every step and day of the way. Big hugs xxx
Thank you. Yep I'm ok, had a good scan at ten weeks for reassurance and now should be 12. Really really poorly on it, which seems rather unfair after the journey to get here but nonetheless grateful.
Look after yourself, lots of waiting and celebrate every step forwards x
Congratulations! Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you that this is your time and everything will be just perfect for you. Big hugs to you, I hope the clinic have helped regarding the asprin. So happy for you, keep us informed as to how things are progressing x x x
Thank you so much X scan booked 26th September just got to get through until then! I am so scared it's unreal... This is going to be tough, ππππ this is our take home rainbow brother or sister for Harrison β€οΈπΌ Miss him so much π X
