Sensitive post- I can’t believe it

Staying_positive38 profile image

Hi ladies

I tested positive this morning 🤗

I just wanted to say that I experienced what I thought was period pains almost all the way through the TWW and had no sore boobs, heightened smell or any of the other early signs. I really thought it would be a negative response.

I’m so happy and excited to be proven wrong.

I wanted to share my experience in case any other ladies are going through something similar.

Good luck to everyone and stay positive as much as you can xx

Congratulations! Af pains have been a great sign for me too.. when you say all the way though though, from what day? xx

Thank you 😊

Ok so I had embryos transferred on a Wednesday and I had twinges on off until Friday that same week. Then on the Saturday night I woke up boiling hot with proper a churning feeling in my stomach and tingling legs which is exactly what I experience a week before AF and I was due on in one week. I gave up hope. Then from that Sunday to even today I’ve had the period ‘feeling’ on/off daily. Like a fuzziness down below and it felt so heavy down there I was sure I was my lining shedding.

I kept reading that pregnancy symptoms can mimic period symptoms but I wasn’t sure how much. Never been pregnant before and this is my only ICSI experience.

I also read some people have spotting and I had none. Not a drop.

Think it goes to show that everyone’s body reacts completely differently. I hate that saying as it’s so unhelpful during the agonising TWW isn’t it!!

I wish you the very best of luck with your outcome xx

Congratulations! How exciting! See I've had 2 failed transfers...first one no real symptoms and second one I had af cramps on and off the whole way through so thought maybe this time was positive....nope still bfn. So next time I need to read absolutely nothing into anything! I hope you have a healthy happy pregnancy 😘😘 xxx
