As you can see I’ve taken up a new hobby.. #POAS☺️😂 as much as I’m enjoying seeing the line progression I can’t seem to stop or even skip a day. Not sure when I’ll be relaxed and satisfied with the result as I do know no amount of testing can stop a MC but the moment I let my guard down last cycle and stopped testing the pregnancy began to fail...
I’ve Had a scary few nights this week as the cramping and backache has been so intense (I can only compare this to my MC) having to hold on or bend forward as it was that painful 😖 Has this been a positive symptom for anyone?
I’m sure Prednisolone is keeping me awake at night.. no matter how late I’ve tried to stay up I’m only managing to sleep a maximum of 4 solid hours each night. Is this normal? I was thinking of contacting my clinic/consultant as I’m not sure how much longer I can manage this, shattered throughout the day and wide awake at night.
Does anyone know why OTD was 12days with my fresh cycle and now 14 with FET? This 2WW has been torturous beyond belief..😩
Besides my moans... I very am happy being PUPO☺️😊
I have a GP appointment booked for my OTD (staying ahead of the game) I intend on getting a immediate EPU referral as I felt quite deserted by my clinic last cycle. After notifying them of my BFP there was no further communication other than scheduling a viability scan @8wks.. which in my case turned into a follow up meeting.
I think the trauma of not being seen by a professional when I knew something was wrong is haunting me. By having myself referred straight away will hopefully get me some beta results (which my clinic doesn’t do) and also avoid some of the nonsense I went through like sitting in A&E for hrs to be told there’s nobody to help or advise etc.
Sorry it’s been a long post... Thanks for reading...
The encouragement I’ve received on here is second to none ❤️😘
BTW finally I broke the news to my mum yesterday... Her face lit up like a lightbulb💡I could see she wanted to jump around the room but she composed herself within seconds.
It was such a relief to finally tell someone... my partner has gone mute again🤐 so I feel much better now mum knows as we are so close.
Wishing you all a relaxing weekend wherever you are on this rollercoaster of a journey🎢 😘

❤️❤️ look at those cracking lines, congratulations!! I think you're going to struggle getting an EPU referral though. In my experience, the GP wouldn't refer me when I was having bleeding and pain. I only got my referral after a night in A&E, convinced I was miscarrying again. Even then, they weren't keen to see me as I was only 5w+4 at my first visit and they were sure they wouldn't see anything (as it turned out we got to see baby's heartbeat!) I wish you the best of luck securing a referral and with your pregnancy x
Fab line progression, congratulations!! Lovely to hear your Mum’s reaction. My parents know, but we’re telling my mum- in- law this eve. I’m excited, but feel your pain about the mute partner.. they can be so weird at times 😂 xx
Congratulations and good luck with telling the in-laws... I’m sure they are going to be so pleased for you.
As for my partner he’s not one to show his feelings and prefers to say nothing, which I found so difficult last cycle as I constantly wanted to talk about what we were going through.
Once we had the MC it all came flooding out, he did feel the same pain and disappointment as me so I’ve half expected him to react in the same way this time around. I’m not applying pressure I know he’s happy even if he’s not voicing it 🤐🤣😉
I’m yet to see the day it all comes flooding out of my husband.. think hell will have frozen over before then 😂 Agree there’s no point applying pressure though, that would be unfair.
Congratulations again! Hope your pregnancy is all smooth-sailing xx
Yay! Congrats. I’m not sure why it’s a longer with FET than fresh but the wait is painful!!! I experienced cramping at the beginning but this was more like the feeling of my period coming on, not intense. Also I’d say for a solid 2 weeks I was POAS every day twice a day. In all honesty I haven’t been able to relax until my recent 20 week scan. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions and I don’t think any of us can take a positive pregnancy test result in the same way people do without fertility problems. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Awww fab news! Great lines too!🤗🤩 I'm always dying to tell my mum too so can relate, I just worry about disappointing her. Its lovely to see their faces even if they try to keep it calm! How much prednisolone are you on? Do you take it in the morning?xx
Mum was so disappointed last time..😢 I tried avoiding spending much time with her over the past weeks because I knew she would worry more than me lol...
I’m on 25mg prednisolone in the mornings😩😳from what I’ve read that’s slightly a higher dose than most are on x
Awww I know what you mean! I told my mum first time and it ended. Told her when I though things were looking good next time, all went tits up!🙄 Omg, that's a hefty amount of prednisolone! I usually get told to reduce to 10mg per day after being on 20mg before transferred. I asked my clinic if I could be on a higher level as I thought it might protect me better and my nurse who is a veteran in this business said she wouldn't want me on any higher!! I think you should ask to be reduced.xxxx
I'll be on pretty much the same dose as you for everything but my prednisolone gets reduced to 10mg and not quite as much lubion as you but that may get adjusted. You can't just stop prednisolone, you need to wean off it. You consultant sounds like he's well on the ball but I'm sure he will let you reduce a bit if you ask. Also my EPU allow self referral as I'm known to them with my previous miscarriage so dont need to go through GP now.xx
Yayyyy!!! Well done theyre gorgeous and strong lines really lovely to see!!! I got referred to EPU at 10 weeks for bleeding I think you would really struggle to get taken there by the GP. What’s is it you want to see them for specifically? Can you not talk to your fertility specialist? x x
It’s not that a wanted anything from them just yet, it’s because of what happened on my last cycle why I wanted a referral to them in place ASAP.
My options was limited to only going into A&E when I began to bleed on a Friday afternoon. My GP and clinic suggested going into A&E if things worsened. Monday I spent the entire day there from 8-5pm to only be told they would only check I wasn’t dying and could not shed no light on what was going on with the pregnancy. After a further battle explaining my history and name dropping my private consultant (who’s also the head of the department in that hospital 🤭) the emergency gynaecologist opened up the department just for me, done a scan & bloods.. So in a nutshell this all added to my trauma just want to avoid going through that ordeal again 😭
Sorry for the rant... it all came flooding back as I was typing x
