Thankyou so much lovely 😘xx

Definitely normal! I took around 15 tests as I wanted to keep seeing strong lines and them moving up in weeks. I think I kept doing cheapies till I was in my 3rd trimester 😂😂. Congratulations xx

So glad you were the same! I’m just overwhelmed with it all and so hormonal! I can’t stop taking them xx

I tested every few days in the early weeks!!! Even after a clear scan 🙈 It’s easier now I can feel her moving 🙂 The early weeks are tough, try taking it a day at a time 🙂 xoxo

Totally normal, when you’ve gone through all this your just so apprehensive about it. Hoping it’s real, hoping the lines get darker. Questioning everything.

When it’s a natural conception and and easy one you don’t question it. I’ve been on both sides xx

Ha ha ha completely normal! I tested day 8,9,12,13,14 & 15. We only got a positive from day 12 post transfer which was the Saturday and had to keep them with me all weekend so I could keep looking at them!!😂🙈 I'm not doing anymore now, actually too scared to do anymore! So Yes, completely normal or weird but if weird then we must all be weird!!😂😂xx

I also did this! I did about 5 tests, then I had the blood test and then I had to stop myself from testing again as I was just going to drive myself mad 😂 I’m 16 weeks now and although I’ve had 3 scans (a 7 week ivf one, a private scan at 11 weeks as I was so impatient and the nhs one at 13 weeks),

I still feel I need reassurance. It’s a crazy feeling!

Omg it is such a crazy feeling! How have you found your pregnancy? I’m panicking now I’ve got a positive at any little cramp etc! Can see it’s gunna be a long 9 months all being well! I never wish for Monday but want it to be here so I can ring the clinic! X

I’ve felt pretty normal tbh but I think that’s only made me worry more lol. The only thing I struggle with is sleeping as I get bad siatica during the night. As my belly’s started to grow it’s made me feel more at ease and I’m starting to believe that there really is a little human growing in there 🤰🏻

I think once you start to show you will feel the same. The odd twinge is perfectly normal x

Thanks so much! Xx

Very normal lolol.... I took a few tests a day in the beginning, I felt so silly but I couldn't resist..... oh and don't worry if you don't see such a change in the darkness of line, it will go progressively darker but does take a while in the beginning xxxxxx

Omg Thankyou so much for that! I’m panicking about what if the line doesn’t get darker etc! That’s made me feel so much better that you’ve said it can take a bit in the beginning! Xx

in reply toMaterialbarbie

Yeahhh I was expecting the line to be loads darker like daily but in the first few days it was only a slight be darker and one of the days it looked the same and all was fine with mine :) xxxxxx
