This just proves that no matter what life throws at you your body will battle on and do what it wants.
It’s one day at a time for us.
Mr Emu doesn’t want it to mean anything until the scan. Which is understandable; I agree with him. We’ve not jumped around for joy. Or shed a tear of joy. We’ll see where we end up next. We’ll carry on as normal. He’ll take his mum for a day of chemotherapy today and I’ll hobble in to work.
One hurdle passed. Thank you so much for your support my ladies. You are all amazing. x

Yay! Hey I totally understand it’s just another positive stage in the process. It’s like that, every step of the way. Keep the positive thoughts and hope and .....smile a little. One step closer. Lots of love xxx
Congratulations hun! I totally understand how you feel, although it was my first bfp my husband and I didn't get too excited until the scan day, even now we are taking one day at a time until our 12 week scan. Best of luck x
Fantastic news to wake up to & a big incentive to go get my embryo off ice today! So I got you sticky toffee cake and this happens... I can only deduce one thing!!!! Stopping at bakery on way home. Baby steps now, literally. I know what a long road lies ahead & normal service is best resumed but I hope u can hobble into work with a tiny little extra spring in that boot today!! Well done, so chuffed for u both xxx
I’m going to go for an extra sticky one today!! Thanks love, I’ll maybe think of Mr Emu’s exploits in the traumatic sample pot room to make me laugh! 🤣
Thanks so much love. All went well and one little nugget is currently on board and hopefully holding on for dear life!! How are you? I know you’d mentioned your crazy prolactin levels - are they under better control now? Hope you’re nearer getting things stabilised. Thanks v much for your note, meant a lot as it’s been a stressful day! x x
Im hopefully almost at the end of sorting all of my bloods out thanks. Got prolactin back yesterday and finally a normal result! Yeyyy. My thyroid is still a wee bit high so last thing to sort now!xx
You often find one thing can trigger another with hormones. I got hyperactive thyroid suspiciously straight after back to back ivf & I blame the disruption in hormones. They’re so interlinked aren’t they.
Pleased to hear your prolactin has normalised, let’s hope your thyroid follows suit asap. You’ll get there eventually! It’s never an easy road is it! Take care x x
Congratulations. Fab news but totally understand why you can't get excited just yet....we've been the same. One day at a time is the best attitude to have xx
Just thinking there too that this whole thing robs us of any joy that we should have for getting a bfp..maybe reframe it and be pleased today that this first hurdle is well and truly jumped 😀😀😀😀🥦🥦🥦🥦xxxx
One step in front of other, one day at a time, positive vibes coming your way, this is ur time, every storm in your life is followed by a rainbow 🌈 of hope, xx
Congratulations Hun, sending you lots of love & really hoping it all works out so perfectly for you this time. Like so many others have said, its so sad we can't start celebrating when we see our BFP but I sincerely hope in a few months time your holding a beautiful baby ( or 2 ) in your arms & a lifetime of amazing times can begin 😘 xx
Well done on overcoming this first massive hurdle, congratulations. I feel so happy and relieved for you both. I say one day at a time, all the time! It’s as much as we can do. Sending you lots of love and luck for a healthy pregnancy xx
Go on little peas!! We were exactly the same this time around, no celebrating or much emotion at all until the scan really. One day at a time, one step at a time. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way xxxx
Lovely news to get today. I know you don't want to celebrate but perhaps you should do something nice tonight to acknowledge it? It will be another memory and when you have your pea or peas in your arms you'll be glad that you took the time now. 🤞🤞 for the scan xx
Oh bless those Peas! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Emu! That is a wonderful picture hope each day brings a bit more joy for you and all goes well will keep watching x
Hi emu, I’ve been thinking of you and so relieved to see this BFP post. One day at a time my lovely but enjoy the moment. Hoping everything you dreamed off comes true Xx
Woke up and you were the first thing I thought of today. That’s a brilliant result but I understand your fears, been there wore the t shirt as they say. Sending as many positive vibes as possible my love. Roll on the scan date xxxxxx
I am so pleased for you but completely understand about not getting excited until the scan. That was exactly how I felt. It all just feels like small steps along a very long road that you just keep plodding down.
I had my scan last week and alls good. Feel like I can think of myself as pregnant. Although am already starting to worry and think of the next scan. We are paying to have one at about 9/10wks, to put my mind at ease.
I am keeping everything crossed for you. And hope the next wait goes ok!!!!! Constant waiting!!!
One day at a time. Couldn't agree more lovely, it helps us get through every day, need to say Congratulations my lovely I hope and pray you have a happy, healthy pregnancy you both so deserve this. 💝😘💝😘💝
Woohoo 🙌 I will shed a tear of joy on your behalf. I hope the peas are sticky and that time passes quickly to your scan where you will see one or two healthy heartbeats. Sending hope and good wishes xxx
I just went “yesss” our loud and my husband was like “what, what”. So chuffed. I read your post a couple of weeks ago and cried (I blame pregnancy but probably would have cried even if I wasn’t). Definitely a day by day thing. I was a neurotic mess after my BFP and really struggled. I kept thinking I should be happy but was just constantly worried and definitely the only way to deal was reading posts and talking to people on here and just taking it day by day. All the best. Xx
Ahhhh Emu this is fab news 😊 I know the feeling of taking each day as it comes, our first bfp I was crying and everything - second bfp was a lot more subdued. I really found having a little milestones list is helpful (I think the bfp is about 5 on the list) - it just helps build confidence that everything is going as it should be. Hopefully your next milestone (the scan) flies by and you can enjoy every moment from then on. Much love xx
Brilliant news!! Completely understand how you feel. We never have that emotional feeling anymore, and just class it as the first rung on the ladder! Fingers crossed this is your turn and all will be good come your scan 😊xx
Popped on here today for the first time in months and wow!! So pleased I did! Massive congratulations Emu 🎉 One day at a time and then (I hope) before you know it, your dream will be on your doorstep! Thinking of you and wishing only the best xx
Aww the bestest news (!) I know you can’t get quite excited yet, but from someone whose never had a BFP I’ll be excited for u 😃😃😃😃
I was looking out for your news every day this week- and just saw your post before I left the house- perfect start to a Difficult day.
I just went to visit a relative (my age) whose suffering from rare terminal lung cancer and had to abort her baby twins because of her treatment last year 😔
Makes me truly grateful for the little blessings we do have. Hold on tight to those peas ! Xxxx
Huge congratulations to you both! I know it’s hard to relax and celebrate but it’s one more positive step for you. Everything crossed for you that all continues well! Xx
Congratulations! So happy for you. I know it’s only one step in a long journey ahead but you’re right, it’s another hurdle out of the way and I really hope this is your time x
This has made my night, so pleased for you, your so supportive of everyone on here and deserve your happy ending, fingers and toes crossed for a successful and stress free pregnancy x x x
One day at a time, but like you say yourself, one massive hurdle passed. Xx
Reading your post has bought a big smile to my face,amazing news,I'm so pleased for you both,I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you and the peas xx
