So it’s been a long gruelling day waiting since my blood test at 8:20 this morning. But finally we have the result. I’m officially pregnant.
I did do a home pregnancy test yesterday morning at 5am, I left it in the bathroom without looking at it. When hubby got up at 6:30, he went to check it. There were two lines, I never seen two lines before. It was an out of date test so I wanted to wait for the blood results to confirm.
I know there is a long way to go & I have lots of mixed emotions. But what I do know is that I’m grateful to our donor for giving me this moment of joy, to my husband for being my rock through the last 3 years and to all of you for your continued support, words of comfort & encouragement.
We did it!
Hugs to all of you & never give up,
Xx

Oh happy days 😘🙏🏻🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 holy smokes you had a long wait! Glad you were able to hear your actual number unlike me who vaguely heard 🤪🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩delighted for you 😋🤪🤩🥳
Now a mom of a beautiful 14 weeks baby girl! enjoy the pregnancy journey hun! Hold on for these first months as anxiety will still remain but it’ll get better and better, believe me! For me it started to feel real around the forth month 🤗, before that, it was just googling for symptoms and belly growth 🤪😂
Thanks so much. I see you are considering the donor route. Toughest decision I’ve ever made but definitely the right one! If you want to chat about it, feel free to private message me Xx
Thank you & best of luck to you with the rest of your journey. If you want to chat a about the donor route please don’t hesitate to private message me.
That's brilliant news!! I remember having a similar wait for a blood test, and it was a Friday so I was worried it wouldn't come until after the weekend. Huge congratulations, hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy xxx
Massive congrats Jengi! You must feel so relieved now. I've no experience with beta tests yet, but that sounds like an amazing number! I also feel a little better that I was not the only one with an out of date test knocking around 😊. How are you feeling today? Xx
Same here. I've run out of clexane and my clinic are taking ages to reply to my emails. Plus, called the dr's today. Receptionist took my details, address, dob, first pregnancy, and said something about she'd imgaine I'd be shocked! Way to bring me down from anything positive I was feeling! Who asked her to comment on how I might be feeling? Cow! X
Oh I hope they touch base with you quickly. I’ve ordered more drugs today. Can’t believe the receptionist said that, how dare she! How are you feeling? Xx
I was abke to get my gp to prescribe the clexane in the end, which saved some money too! I'm ok thanks, just tired and crampy. I've started to worry that the clinic haven't asked me to do a beta, just to get a scan in a couple of weeks. How are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet?! X
That's wonderful news and a really strong number, wishing you all the best xxx
Whoop, whoop Jengi!!👏👏👏 👏 That's a great result!!🥳🥳 🥳 OMG how you walked away from that test and left it I'll never know! Ha ha ha Well done you guys, wishing you all the best. Keep us posted!!😘 😘😘 xxx
I know, bonkers! Lol! I was so terrified of another failure, I couldn’t look! I laid awake until hubby got up, I seriously couldn’t look. The thought of that crushing feeling makes me want to run & hide. Hubby didn’t utter a word when he entered the bathroom, he said nothing, peed, still said nothing. When he came back into the bedroom, he was kinda smiling, he didn’t have his glasses on 😂 so couldn’t read it and asked if two lines were good or bad? I’m sure my heart skipped a beat! It’s your time now my lovely! Take great care of yourself. How are you feeling? Xx
Awww Im so super happy for you both!! I completely sympathise with not being able to bear seeing another negative test. I bloody sit and look at them willing that second line to appear but definitely not so keen on looking at the results these days. Im pretty much dreading going again, I need to get these transfers out of the way but wish I could just get put to sleep! However, I am looking forward to some sun....so long as covid doesnt get this cancelled I'll battle through.xx
I know what you mean! I just went through the motions in this last go, it all became a bit robotic. I didn’t do accupuncture, I did no meditation or yoga to keep relaxed, i just plodded through. We relaxed in the sun on the beach for the 2 days before transfer. I took my book with me on transfer day & read it while waiting before & after. I didn’t cry after they were transferred. All emotion was well & truly switched off. Now I’m a nervous wreck! I’ve taken the week off work to chill! Best of luck, keep positive, & I’m sending you all the luck in the world Xx
Yes, it gets very mechanical which is quite sad really! I dont think anything prepares you for the nerves that a positive brings, its absolute hell BUT good at the same time....its just effed up! Hang on in there, I felt getting out into the fresh air for walks helped clear my head a little.xx
Yeah am so anxious as haven't had any scans and my first viability scan is 24th August! Hoping to detect heart beat and that everything is ok!! Wishing us both healthy pregnancies!x x
