OTD - Sensitive!

I still can’t believe I’m able to finally write this post. After 5 cycles, number 5 has given us a BFP!! The one cycle I worked all the way through, in a stressful job and continued life as normal!

We tested on Thursday and had bloods at the clinic today. Our HCG level is 1702!! I know a high figure is good news but don’t really know what it means 🤷‍♀️ we had two embies transferred 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Congrats on all the BFP’s recently. Stay strong all you lovely ladies on this very difficult road. Big hugs to you all 🤗 and thank you all for all the support over all my cycles 😘

Thank you 😊 Yeah, it sure does. Hope your feeling ok. I’ve been having the ‘period’ like cramps since Wednesday. I know it’s normal but can still be a worry. Xx

Sunshineraye in reply to gemmy999

Yes I’m having lots of cramps today and feel a bit nauseous, I only tested early was sure the pain was my period xx

gemmy999 profile image
gemmy999 in reply to Sunshineraye

It feels just the same, now I’ve felt it, I realise why people say they thought it was their period. When do you get your blood test? Xx

Sunshineraye profile image
Sunshineraye in reply to gemmy999

I have no idea. I haven’t told the clinic yet as my OTD is Thursday. Do you think I should call before? Xx

gemmy999 profile image
gemmy999 in reply to Sunshineraye

I’d call on OTD. Think they’d ask you to wait until then anyway. We tested at home Thursday but didn’t speak to the clinic cause they ask us in for bloods on OTD anyway. But if you’d feel happier, no harm in letting them know your good news and asking what the next stage is? xx

Sunshineraye in reply to gemmy999

Yes that’s true. Our tests defo look like we have twins tho. The lines are so strong xx

gemmy999 profile image
gemmy999 in reply to Sunshineraye

I couldn’t believe how quick the lines appeared and did think the darkness must be good. Bloods confirmed that today. So I’m sure yours are high as well. Xx

gemmy999 profile image
gemmy999 in reply to Core

Hi, I didn’t have any symptoms either. Not until 10dp5dt when I got period like cramps followed by BFP. So there is always hope. Good luck. Not long left. When do you test? Xx

Core profile image
Core in reply to gemmy999

Thanks, 🤞 still having a few twinges so we’ll see, testing on Wednesday my clinic make you wait the full 14 days after transfer xx

gemmy999 profile image
gemmy999 in reply to Core

Not a bad thing to wait. Easier said then done but Try not to symptom spot, just no way of knowing. Will be thinking of you xx

Time and time again now we’re reading that many of us have led a more “normal” life on our twws; no pineapple or Brazil nuts etc etc, and have gone on to have bfps. That’s not to say this is the answer to a successful cycle of course but it’s worth bearing in mind that obsessing over certain foods and rituals doesn’t increase your chances of a bfp.

Congratulations xx

gemmy999 profile image
gemmy999 in reply to Tugsgirl

Thank you. Yes, I do wonder if there is something in this rather than paying too much attention to the possible do’s and dont’s adding extra pressure.

Hope you loving being a new mummy xx
