What a bloody rollercoaster the last few days have been. By the time I went to bed last night I was convinced it was all over, even my “symptoms” had eased up.. My stomach seems to be a bit upset and I had to get out in the night to use the loo because of stomach ache, but after a 4 hour hold with fmu this morning this is the result...
Today I’m 8dp 5dfet. I won’t believe it until otd, which is Monday. Hope it’s still a bfp by then.. 🙏🏻

Looking good, that test looks pretty strong to me! Im not surprised your tummy has been upset after yesterday. Take it easy lovely....really pleased to see this today....happy Friday!xx
Oh tugsgirl!! I haven't been on here in ages and got an email through for this post!!! Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Hoping 2019 is your year!! Xxx
I just went back and saw your other post. And I tested on 7dp5dt and threw the test in the bin as I didn't see a line. However there was the faintest line ever!! My lines were never actually really dark. But I am due to give birth next week! So please have faith xx
I definitely will and honestly I didn't even think it would work for me. But somehow it did! Believe that this is your time. Babies know when your anxious etc so try and stay calm xx
Of course it will be (God willing) its the best feeling ever... good to not lose hope....this is your time. I feel it. So happy for you. Take each day as it comes and keep telling yourself 'im not going to be negative..(it will be so hard) this is happening, im going to have my baby' xxx
Ohhh my goddd...... this has just brought a shiver down me in such joy and happiness.... been following your journey and I’m so happy for you.... wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy..... 😘😘💕💕
I know! And my Mum’s been so upset too! I wanted to tell her but Hubby said we should revert to original idea of surprising her on Sunday, if it’s still a bfp xx
Hey tugs .. I saw this in my email just as we speck! I was like ohhhhmygggggg!!! Yeasssssss! Very happy for u xx everything crossed hun x lots of love and hugs 🤗 xx
Yay!! Really good news to see this morning! Looking good hun! Roll on OTD, not long to wait. Have a chilled weekend if you can. So much love and sticky baby dust to you xxx
Each step is stressful when it’s a much wanted pregnancy! You weren’t to know that was going to happen with the lines, but still how frustrating especially with a trusted brand..... I did similar with the cheap one step tests off Amazon! Caused me so much damn stress. I really hope the next few weeks go quickly for you and everything goes perfectly!!! Xxxxxxxxxx
Oh hun! I can relate too, we on the same boat🥰congratulations to you thus is very reassuring! Happy rest of your pregnancy 💝
I’ve had been twice pregnant before this one and both my pregnancies had some in common symptoms sharp pains burning sensation etc I knew it then implementation taken place! This time none of these occurred at nights for me and even I’ve woken up so annoyed on Wednesday morning feeling no pregnant, I’ve felt so empty on that day so it was very upsetting. On other side I have lots of lower back cramps being bloated and lots of nausea (I blame this to huge dosage of progesterone I’m on) but then I’ve made a test on 6dp transfer and what’s a surprise strong line on FRER test! I have too few milestones to breach, so will wait to test day now! Mine is 12/12.
Absolutely brilliant and what a strong line especially for 7 days past!!! No chances of it being wrong!!! Congratulations now you are PREGNANT!!!!! So happy for you xxxxx
Haha. Thanks. To think I could possibly have avoided all that stress yesterday if I hadn’t used those bloody blue dye clearblue ones! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ xx
If the digital is saying 1-2 then that’s an incredibly positive sign! Fingers crossed that it stays that way! By Monday hopefully it will have increased to 2-3 weeks and that will give you some comfort that your HcG is rising x
I read 1-2 means 3-4? And I know people can get really hung up on these digital with weeks indicator ones can’t they? I’m going to ask the clinic for beta on Monday xx
Yes, 1-2 means 3-4, bloody confusing tests! Yes, people can get hung up on them which is why I say test a couple of days after you expect it to change. For my first BFP then 9dp5dt it said 1-2 whereas for my second BFP it said 2-3 at the same time, so it definitely isn’t a case of it must change on this particular date. If your clinic do betas then definitely a better way - mine don’t so it was either use the stick or pay for a private one. If the stick hadn’t been increasing then I’d have paid for private bloods, but the stick did increase for me.
I think I’ll definitely ask for bloods. Didn’t pay last time we had a bfp but it was still part of our funded treatment. Don’t mind paying for peace of mind though xx
That’s a nice strong line! Mine wasn’t even that strong at the same time. Congratulations xx
Oh wow Vick, that sure looks positive and so close to test day too!!! Yeay! 😄 Got everything crossed for you to have the magically affirming OTD you deserve followed by the best Christmas ever! Sending you love, prayers and the whole shabonga of best wishes! Xxxx 😘
Oh my what a lovely post to wake up to! I know it’s hard to feel happy when you get a positive, after everything you have both been through, just take it a day at a time. Saying to myself ‘today I am pregnant’ helped me those first few weeks. Keeping everything possible crossed for you xxxxx
I'm amazed to see this news this morning, I believe this is your time. I'm on the 2ww and on 7dp 5dt but not tested yet. I'm too scared to do it. I really hope it's my time too. Unbelievably happy and excited for you sweetie xxxxxx
I pray its your time too. Its not worth testing early trust me. I tested on a cheap ebay strip 1 day before OTD (i caved in after being so brave, wish i hadnt now) it showed negative....i was heartbroken as was my OH. It was the worst feeling ever...but the next day the clinic confirmed it was a BFP! What will be will be, but im really rooting for you, that this is your time. X
Wonderful, many many congrats woo hoo. I know you feel a degree of caution, but to be here is really wonderful, hope, positivity and love to you, you marvellous fighter! Xx
Yay!!!! Wow I’m so pleased for you, I know you’ve had a long journey of ups and downs and you truly deserve this news - fingers crossed for OTD but oh my it’s looking very good! Xxxxx
I’ve just had a minute off work during lunch break and couldn’t wait to see what had happened with you.
So happy for you! I’m really feeling positive about this cycle too so I’m hoping it’s good news all round for us all!
Congratulations - I know you’ll still be anxious until Monday but that is very encouraging and at the very least you can stop worrying for the weekend.
Ah this is brilliant. I really hope this is your time.
My test looked like that on day 8 and day 9, which ended up being OTD (long story involving my holiday & terrible communication between staff at the clinic 😂) and it was real! xx
Oh is back home but with 24hr antibiotics through his PICC so we’re trying to get back to as normal as possible. I’m honestly so happy for you hun, xxx
Hi honey I’ve had a break from the site and popped back in and could not think of anything better to see on my feed! So happy for you can’t tell you how many things I’ve got crossed.
Massive congratulations and sending loads of love xxx
Yessssssssss!! I am over the moon for you ! Gosh you so deserve this what a xmas present that is!! Now let's hope my 5bb is a sticky one next month, this gives me hope 😁 just thrilled for you hun 💖💕😘 xxx
I AM DELIGHTED!!! Wonderful news!!! So incredibly over the moon for you and your husband. Massive congrats to you both. Praying for a healthy and happy pregnancy for you. 2019 will be your year!xo
It is the most amazing Christmas gift. I’m so grateful. Doubt I’ll be able to relax though as I’ve already had three miscarriages previous to this. And I have lupus anticoagulant which we believe was the cause of our ivf miscarriages. Once I’ve had a scan and I’m under the care of a consultant haematologist then maybe I can relax a little 🙏🏻 xx
Relax was probably the wrong word, I know the worry never really ends - definitely a “phew” moment though and a huge milestone. Very happy for you both 😊 Hang on in there and you’ll be passing the next hurdle before you know it - keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🙏 xxx
Omg this is so exciting! I've been MIA for awhile as I really struggling after our last failed icsi. But i think of you often, so delighted the one day I decide to check in I see this. I have everything crossed for you. Xxx
Thank you Laura. It is ridiculous how nervous I was this morning. Barely slept last night. Anyone would think I haven’t already done at least 5 tests! Haha. Waiting for the clinic to get back to me now.. xx
