I have only posted once before and commented on a few posts. My first post was a about a worrying cough I picked up days after my embryo transfer and the worry about coughing it out. Needless to say I didn’t.
Also withheld (not sure how) until my OTD which was Sunday just gone and so shocked to get these positives - given I had hardly any symptoms. Not sure why I needed to do three tests - reassurance probably.
Feeling blessed to see a positive given it’s my first ivf cycle with one top grade embryo being transferred. Hoping and praying for a smooth and successful onward journey. Am staying positive and hopeful.
Sending love and baby dust to all xx

Congratulations this gives hope to so many people like myself who are awaiting to go through my first ivf which it currently on hold! I cannot even imagine to know how your feeling right now..... all I'm going to say is congratulations, as they say it only takes one. Beautiful it's happened on your very first round. Wishing you a smooth journey onwards and make sure u keep yourself and your little bean safe 😘🎉🎉🎉 xxxx
What a gorgeous reply. I felt nervous sharing it if I’m honest. Almost guilt. Indeed please have hope and faith. Thank you for your wishes. I don’t really know how I shift the worry and already so nervous for my 7 week scan on 24th. I want to put myself in a Zorb ball and wrap in cotton wool lol. Good luck for your cycle when it comes and so sorry you’re having to wait xx
It's okay, even though I'm not sure on how long I have to wait.. just allows me to prepare my body with all the supplements and vitamins and superfoods to help before I eventually start. Good luck on 24th April for your scan..... hope u see a beautiful little flutter with a strong heartbeat. Yes u do need to wrap yourself in cotton wool.... And block everything out! 😘 all the best x
A great mindset to have. I took supplements for 8-9 months before also start acupuncture a month before. Lots of foods that are bursting with antioxidants too. As well as cutting out caffeine (wow that was tough). I do still have a small amount of chocolate if I fancy it but tea, coffee and coke etc removed. Thank you for your support and well wishes. Xx
Thank you so much for all the great top tips on how u got successful with your 1st round. Really appreciate it,..oh I do love my coffee aswel, but making a short sacrifice in order to potentially get something you've always wanted is ofcourse worth it. Again... congratulations and can't wait to see how you get on and progress 🙏😘 xxx
Thank you! Ok I’ll probably end up close to ten. My brother in law works in a factory where they make first response so I don’t pay luckily haha. How have you been since BFP? Any signs or symptoms? Are you nervous for scan, I am for mine on 24th. Really happy for you and hoping and praying for a lovely positive scan xx
The whole 6 weeks I’ve felt craps, twinges , electric type twinges behind my belly button that was very strange they have stopped now, really sore boobs , lower back ache and the last 2 days felt sick in the afternoon but not being sick, craving pickled eggs 😂 x
My lower back (tailbone) has been achy for sure. Nipples are sensitive but think that’s more the progesterone capsules. I’ve had lower twinges but nothing major more a constant full feeling if that makes sense. Xx
Congratulations, that’s fantastic news. I’ve just done my first round, had 2 transferred as I’m an oldie at 40, and thankfully got my BFP on my OTD 27th March and just waiting to get an early scan this Thursday along with my blood test so fingers crossed all good. Hope all goes well for you, these early weeks are very worrying especially in the given climate.
Thank you so much. Congrats to you too. Hopefully just the one in there for you, although twins could be fun 😀. Good luck for bloods and scan. You’re right from the consultations to now and even there after it’s such a nervy and anxious waiting game. Wishing you all the best xx
Ah thank you. I wasn’t going to post then figured if it was the other way round I’d want to see and am nothing but happy for those with children or with success. We’re all in this together after all xx
Absolutely amazing news a huge congratulations to you!!! Hoping your 7 week scan comes around quickly for you I know how it drags. Some positive news amongst all the craziness that’s going on in the world.
I also got pregnant on my first round of IVF and now have a 3 year old boy causing mayhem at home, I wouldn’t have it any other way! At the time I had my transfer for him I had another embryo frozen. 16 weeks ago I had the embryo put back in and it’s worked I’m 16 weeks pregnant and honestly can’t believe my luck and that it’s worked again second time!! So much to be thankful for.
Wishing you lots of luck for a successful and happy pregnancy xxxxx
Oh my this has given me actual goosebumps! What positive stories and journeys you’ve had. I’m so happy for you and it gives everyone including myself hope for success. Thank you so much for your well wishes and good luck for the rest of your pregnancy sweetie xx
Massive congratulations for you!! So happy to read this. I had my second fet 4 days ago & feeling pretty down & hopeless. Something’s telling me it’s failed again. I’ve absolutely no symptoms what so ever just the progesterone making my moods so crazy during the day & dreams crazy at night. Reading your post has given me a little hope this morning so I will put my positive pants on, bury the tests as deep in the bathroom drawer as possible & try to enjoy the sunshine. Wishing you the happiest healthiest pregnancy ever please keep us all updated xxxx
Listen, please please don’t read into things, Google or compare. I had no symptoms really, maybe an achy back which i still have but no implementation bleeding, no cramps, no sore boobs (maybe nipple sensitivity from the progesterone) and after my horrendous cough when I thought I’d broken my ribs I was convinced that was it. I kept reading about ladies testing days and days early and I just couldn’t do it to myself (it was a tough battle with my mind), but for me the longer I didn’t know the more I held onto hope. Do not test early, it does nothing for you at all. Stay strong, have faith and be positive. You have got this!xx
I tested early last month and completely broke myself was hoping that being on lockdown this time I wouldn’t get to the shops so couldn’t be tempted but amazon deliver next day 😩😂 thank you huni your words are definitely giving me some positivity. Hopefully my embryos are burying deeps and safe and I will have some light from these dark times. Stay safe, hope your cough has improved now. Do you think maybe you had the virus? If you’ve had it at least now you don’t have to worry about it affecting your pregnancy and catching it again. You are so strong waiting until OTD I’m going to try my best xxxx
Please have hope. Keep hope alive. Stay strong. I used an app called Mindful IVF (a lady on here recommended it) it’s an Irish guy and I did the meditation to help me. Try it!
At one point I was convinced it was the virus but it was never bad enough I don’t think. And if I did have it, it was mild compared to some I’ve seen.
It was a tough waiting but I was scared and had already convinced myself I was out with the lack of symptoms and being poorly. Some places say the two week wait is pretty silent and some ladies don’t get symptoms - it’s as simple as that. I was so shocked seeing the tests as I thought I was out.
Praying for you and Sharing my positivity and hope your way xx
Congratulations definitely a big fat positive there , I test day is Thursday 6 Attemp so fingers crossed, I haven't really had any symptoms, but I have a really good feeling this time , can you tell me where you brought the HGC smaller test from, I do have three cheap ones , but that one looks pretty good, as before I had issues where my levels didn't rise xxxxx
Thank you! Fingers crossed for you lovely. Positive vibes coming to you
Our clinic gave us this and told us the test date. Thought that was standard?!? Maybe not then. It’s a hospital use one and detects even the lowest HGC. Xx
Oh ok they did give me one but it's just the standard one , anyway I have two others ? I am definitely going to hold out till Thursday , because I need the line to be strong, I pray and pray every day 🙏🙏🙏😘😘
YAY...I'm so happy for you. CONGRATULATIONS... it is normal to do multiple tests LOL...sometimes we can't believe it and i guess we need to be 100% certain so 1 or 2 tests just won't cut it LOL... you must enjoy it and take it all in. Take it easy for the first trimester and just relax.
It is frightening. i went threw a few sad moments of going for a scan and seeing no heartbeat which resulted in miscarriages but i have learnt that sometimes things are out of my control. My current pregnancy i have always tried to stay positive and try not to read any reviews on what could go wrong and I try to focus on positive things regarding each step in my pregnancy. I'm currently 9weeks pregnant and i strongly believe that this little bean will be in my arms soon. We have enough things to stress about. Try to make this a wonderful experience and just trust in the process.
Congratulations! I also got pregnant on my 1st round with our one and only embryo deemed good enough. Now I have a crazy 1 year old daughter running around and I've recently found out I'm pregnant naturally with my second. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xx
You see these are the stories I love to read. I feel im reading more negative posts the positive atm and trying to just focus on the positive. Congrats on your pregnancy xx
