Oh. My, god! Yeeeehaaaaaaaa!! What a strong line too!! I am beyond excited for you and thrilled and happy and a bit teary!! You ssooooo deserve this!! CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 😘😘xx
Thanks Daisy, I just hope one day you have as much luck as me one thing I have learnt is this really is a lottery and I pray one day you win it 🍀. I notice you posted recently about being worried about indulging too much with alcohol etc during lockdown. This time I had no time to prepare, it all happened so quickly once we got the green light again. I was worried as myself and partner had been drinking a lot more than usual. I actually took a much more relaxed approach this time and my last drink of alcohol was the night before I started the injections. ( I was same when I fell pregnant first time) The times I abstained for 3 months was the times it never worked.
So don’t worry I honestly feels it makes no difference x
Thanks so much for the calming words and luck, much needed! Xx
Congrats. I too have been following your page and waiting for an update. Will keep everything crossed for you for your scan 🤞🤞🤞 x x
Thanks so much, you’re in your 2ww right? Wishing you all the luck in the world. 🤞🏼 I spent a lot of time positive thinking this time and speaking to the universe as daft as it sounds oh and positive visualisation podcasts every night for 2 weeks with Zita West x
Yes I am 7dp5dt now and convinced af is on her way. Can't decide if it is that or these pessaries. I really hate them.
I'm so so pleased for you x x
I was convinced up until I tested af was on her way. Honestly it was such a shock ! I had some spot bleeding day 7-10 then nothing so don’t panic if you get spotting but also don’t panic if you don’t. It is sheer hell isn’t it but I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼
Ahhhh yay! Brilliant news 😁 So happy for you xxx
Thank you, I hope you are continuing to have a really healthy pregnancy you will have a very special Halloween this year 👻
Was looking out for your post this morning- so so pleased for you!!! Very exciting news. I am similarly trying for a sibling and have found this second baby far more difficult to come by. Got my BFP last week - 6th ET for this baby.
Hope the next 9 months go quickly!! X
So happy for you Hope! ☺️ Now we've both got through the 2ww together, ready for the next stage of anxiety 🤣! X
I’ve been waiting for your update and hoping it would be a good one and IT IS!! Congratulations!! I’m really happy for you. It also gives me some hope xx
Thanks so much, am beyond happy 😀
Sorry to read you have have had a similar struggle to me with baby no 2. It’s so hard when conceiving the first one via IVF seems to be easier. At times I felt like giving up but am so glad I kept fighting the battle and eventually feels like things are going our way 🙏🏻
Wishing you so much luck going forward. 🍀
This time I concentrated more on being me, feeling relaxed, positive thinking, less time worrying about how many cups of tea I was having and I drank alcohol up until night before started injections. I also took ubiquinol for about 6 months and right up until I got my BFP today. Who knows if it helped but it was first time in 6 years I got a top grade embryo 👌🏻
Woo hoo! Amazing news! I checked earlier for your post too. Had a good feeling about it. Enjoy the moment x
AMAZING news! Congratulations. Xx
Hurray! I have been waiting for this post! Congratulations dear 🎉. I am next!
such amazing news! Soooo happy for you xxx
Thanks again xx
Oh was thinking if you earlier - so so excited for you, the worth was worth it, huge congratulations xxx
Huge congratulations so happy for you 🥳 all the best with your pregnancy xxx
Hi Jess thanks so much for your support am still on cloud 9 xxx
Congratulations🌈 xx
Omg wow hun 🥰 massive congratulations 🥳 that amazing news I’m so happy for u hun xxx
Thanks Olivia for your support. Really hoping the best for you too 🙏🏻 Have you made any future plans ? I know your story is similar to me, I was on verge of giving up but decided ‘one last shot’ & well so glad we did 😘
We have appointment on 15 sep with clinic next to me. Because we don’t have any frostie left we will need to go through fresh cycle. U mention that u being taking some ubiquinol? Xx
That is fab you have an appt. Yes I have taken in past for one cycle where I had 2 viable embryos however they weren’t the best grades. I only took for approx 1 -2 months as just wasn’t sure of dosage etc as had no backing from my clinic. This time I did lots of research, took 200mg ubiquinol daily for around 6 months prior to EC. Put partner on them for about 2 months beforehand. No idea if it helped or was just luck but we had our first Top Grade embryo since we started IVF 6 years ago.
Worth a shot for sure. Mixed advise on when to stop as I read they can help the lining prepare for implantation so despite my Clinic’s advise I took them right up until my BFP.
I being recommended to take DEHA so I bought but I haven’t been taking them.
Couple months ago I spoke with doctor from the clinic next to me and his advice was opposite what other said...looking on my history and all tests I don’t need to take DEHA .
Now after reading bit about ubiquinol I believe will be better option for me. If u don’t mind me asking hun where u was buying yours from ?xx
I once took DHEA without the support of my clinic and had my worst cycle ever. So I have to agree it is not for everyone. It’s only recommended if you have a diminished ovarian reserve. But when desperate we try anything right !?!
I swear the ubiquinol helped and said this to my clinic who seem so anti-supplements 🤔 I suggested they take me feedback on board, look at my history and results and also review their policy on supplements. Loads of clinics recommend taking them. Zita West clinic even sell them. My clinic are always telling me am wasting my money etc etc and insist all we need is folic acid & vit d.
I will message you the website I use (don’t think we are allowed to make public) x
Congratulations very happy to hear this because my transfer is also near so positive result make my hope high.. Once again congrats happy for you🎉🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐💖💖💖
Awww amazing news!! So pleased for you!xxx
Thanks Cinderella, am just still shocked was crying tears of joy most of the day! I feel so lucky and overwhelmed by the support on here.
I am rooting for you and sending positive baby vibes all the way over to Athens 🤞🏼🍀🙏🏻
Congratulations! So happy for you!
I've been following your story, I also had only 2 eggs collected and. Only one fertilised and currently 2days past 2 days transfer. Hoping for a miracle 
Thanks so much.
I was so disappointed we only had one but believe now it happened for a reason 🙏🏻.
Wishing you all the luck in the world, will be checking for an update soon. 2ww is sheer hell all I can say is think positive and relax as hard as it is 🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀
Just checked in here to see how you got on! That's the best news ever! I am so happy for you. The hard part is over now! Xx
Ahhhhhhh!! Best Monday morning news!!! Congrats xxx
Thank you so much. Am still on a high, such a magical feeling. I feel so lucky as had almost given up on it ever happening again.
Wishing you a BFP at the end of your 2ww 🤞🏼
I had vivid dreams, frequent peeing, eating like a horse, moody, the odd twinge. Very similar to you so am hoping this is a good sign. Think positive and don’t be tempted to test early. I had a very bad experience doing that once. There is no denying it’s sheer hell but you will get through it.
Rooting for you 🙏🏻x
Amazing news!! Congratulations honey. Enjoy every minute xxx
Wow! I was waiting to hear from you! Wishing you all the best! ✨✨✨
Thanks so much, wishing you the best of luck with your treatment 😘
Wooohoooooo!!! So excited for you!!! This is such amazing news!!! You have so earned this!! Congratulations and well bloody done!!! 💫❤️🥳
Congratulations!! This is amazing!! We are just starting number 12 (2nd egg donor cycle) for a sibling for our 5 year old IUI miracle❤️
Thanks so much ! Number 12 my goodness that is amazing. Admire your strength & determination ...... you deserve another miracle so much, good luck 🙏🏻
Yay!! I’m 2dp3dt on our quest for a sibling for our 20 month IVF miracle. Hope the next 3 weeks go smoothly for you x
Absolutely delighted for you 🤗🥳 xxx
Thanks so much am so hopeful for good news for you on Wednesday. I bled a lot with my very first healthy pregnancy very early on. I always panicked as hard not to.
Stay strong 💪 Think positive will be rooting for you x
Yey!! Was waiting for your update and really rooting for you! So pleased for you, congratulations 🎉 xxx

Massive congratulations x
Awwwww wonderful news, I am so happy for you, congratulations xxxx
Thank you am so chuffed to be on the 3ww. Have you had your viability scan yet? Hoping all is well 😘
It's such a tough wait! It was last Thursday, we saw a strong heartbeat it was incredible, they want me to go again on Thursday because it was embedded to one side and was difficult to get a true measurement so hoping so much one week on that all will be well 🙏
I hope the time goes as quickly as possible for you, and again, such lovely news 😘 xx
Yaay!! That’s brilliant news 🙂 congratulations 🎉 Xx
Thank you, I remember seeing your news about your BFP and I had so much hope reading your symptoms as were similar to mine. 😘
Yey thats amazing, was waiting and hoping this would be your update! So happy for you! 😘🎉 Xx
Thank you so much for your support 👌🏻
Wishing you every success with your first cycle. Hoping you have beginners luck. My very first go worked unfortunately the sibling proved a bit more stubborn but hopefully we have got there in the end 🙏🏻
Awh thank you so much, yep fingers crossed for the beginners luck! 😘 Xx
Aww massive congratulations! Looks like such an strong positive too! 🙏
Thank you am feeling like the luckiest woman alive right now.
Wishing you as much luck with your upcoming cycle 🤞🏼
Congratulations!!! Fantastic news!!xx
Thank you so much. The support on here has been unreal 😀
Will you start your cycle soon ? Wishing you lots of luck x
Huge congrats! So pleased for you xx
Thank you so much. So very kind of you especially as I remember today is your OTD. Am so sorry things didn’t work out for you. All I can say is never give up & I wish you lots of luck as come to realise this really is a lottery 🍀🙏🏻🤞🏼
Thank you! Hopefully it'll be third time lucky for us. All the best with your pregnancy. You must be over the moon!
Hope76 this is so good 😊, I am happy for you . I actually checked earlier on did not see any post, I decided to check again now and came to this. Congratulations.
The 3ww is ______. I reserve my comment 😁😁😁, I wish time could fast forward time.
Thanks a million am the luckiest woman alive right now 🎉
Like yourself I remained positive. I even prayed last night and am not religious 🙏🏻
I know I forgot how hard all the waiting is 🙈. Can’t be long now until your scan ? Will be checking for your update am sure everything will be grand 🤞🏼
You said the magic word and you believe. Even if one is not religious nor hat ever you do or say just be positive. I am so happy for you.
Yes my scan is next Thursday , I have been an emotional wreck. I cried all of yesterday because I was not getting any symptoms from Friday to Sunday . I cried my life out 😁😁😁.
IVF is very tough!!!
I almost went for BETA today but I said no I wasn’t as where is my faith. I am very religious , so if God has given this to me why should I worry?
I am just trusting God all is ok and fine with me and my baby growing.
I have told myself I will stop worrying and doubting because this journey is going to end in peace.
Sorry for the long write up.
It is very hard when you feel no symptoms but it’s also a good sign too.
Like you said you have your faith so keep thinking positive and put your faith in God. I have been asking the universe, God, even had a lucky ‘fertility’ statue under my bed as you will try anything 😘
Please keep us all updated on how your scan goes I will say a prayer for you 🙏🏻. I am beginning to believe a lot more in God actually x
Yey congratulations! Xx
Omg..... how amazing is this!!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy 😘😘😘
Thank you so much, at 44 well I knew this would be our last shot at least with my own eggs. Words cannot describe how very very lucky I feel 😘
I can imagine how you’re feeling right now...... Just keep the positive vibrations coming your way.... And your child deserves a sibling.... it will all be just fine and take day by day as it comes 😘😘😘😘god bless you😘😘
Oh my flipping word! You did it! I knew it! Well done you for persevering! So so happy for you words can’t begin to describe it. Was looking for an update from you but then got caught in work - couldn’t wait to check your post as so hoped to see exactly this. Here’s to your 3WW - hang in there! 🥂 (alcohol free) 😁
My words exactly, I put off doing this test as long as possible as felt couldn’t handle bad news. Am delighted however to lead the way with the good news & just know you won’t be far behind me 🤞🏼
Positive thinking, praying and begging the universe to give me a break seemed to help 😘
I so hope I can be right behind you! It’d be wonderful to be near due date buddies too... getting ahead of myself now, hoping something good is cooking in there.
My first challenge is when to test: OTD next Friday but period due Monday. That’s certain due to having triggered ovulation and no progesterone to keep it away - might as well test Monday morning even though it’s early?!
No harm on getting ahead of yourself all the way through this I told myself this is working this time 😘
Am not an early tester so not sure what to advise. Did it once never again but understand why many do.
Believe and it will happen am so hopeful for you 🙏🏻🤞🏼🍀
Over the moon for you, I thought u were testing yesterday so was worried I had not heard anything 🤦♀️🤣 such great news so pleased for you & on ur last attempt, obviously meant to be 🍀👏🏻A really strong line which is great news, keep us posted, fingers crossed there is hope (pardon the pun) for me then at my age as we start a cycle end of Sept bricking it. Xx 😘
Thank you so much well long story but decided to test today for a more accurate result. Think I was putting it off as long as possible as dreaded testing this time as knew last time !
Right up to test I felt like af was coming, exactly how I felt with my darling son.
Wishing you the best of luck for your cycle hopefully it’s time for the 1976 babies to conceive their babies 🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀
I concentrated more on positive thinking this time. Read ‘The Secret’ and begged the Universe. Also took ubiquinol right through until I got my BFP... no idea if helped but I believe it did no harm 😘
Ha ha I can totally relate all of my cycles apart from the first (when af arrived) I have never tested early and the dread of testing makes me only do it on test day when I am absolutely bursting for my first wee of the day 🤣🤣🤦♀️
Let’s hope 2020 is our year 🤞🍀😀
I re-read the secret beginning of the year, I might read it again as although my last cycle ended in a chemical I certainly focused on positive thinking and completely relaxed by being off work. I would like to think that helped.
Remind me was ur cycle a frozen or fresh ?
Never used ubiquinol what is it & is it worth for a frozen which is what we are having in Sept? Although perhaps a little late to start taking now !? Xx
Ahhhhh!! Amazing! Super congratulations!! It is a strong line as well :))) I have to say I had a positive feeling about it! Wow!
Wishing you a smooth and happy pregnancy and birth, so happy and excited for you.
Sending lots of good vibes for your 3 weeks wait. For me knowing that my hcg levels were on the high side was very reassuring despite having had an early loss before. Apparently there is a good correlation between high hcg at 15-16 days post ovulation (or similar with IVF transfers) and successful pregnancies.
Take good care of yourself and enjoy the celebrations!
Well done x x x
Thanks for your supportive words. I know amazed at the super strong line. Our last BFP sadly ended in early miscarriage and the second line was super faint. Already this feels completely different 🤞🏼
My clinic don’t test my levels unfortunately but am hopeful with such a strong line all is going to be just fine 🙏🏻
Thanks again, I can see from your profile you are also trying for baby no 2 .... wishing you every success 🤞🏼
Thank you yes we just found out yesterday we are having a boy and nipt tests are all good! 😀 how are you feeling? Hope all is going well for you. Keeping you in my thoughts .. x x x
Oh wow fantastic news. Congratulations 🎉. How many weeks are you ? I am 5 weeks and pleased to report am taking it easy today as am feeling rather queezy. I love that am having symptoms... long may they continue 🤞🏼.
Viability scan on 14/09 seems like a lifetime away 🙈
That's great! That mild queasy feeling can be so reassuring and early for it too! It is certainly a good sign! I am almost 13 weeks but still cannot quite relax until I will feel him moving .. but I had to tell my parents and friends..
Take good care of yourself ,.. exciting times :)) may the time till your scan fly by and you be blessed with more good news x x x
Amazing, many congrats. Really happy for you xx
Congratulations. I'm really happy for you, you give me a positive vibes and power for next 2 days.
O wonderful news! Xxx
Thanks so much it has felt like Christmas come early. Finally some good news in 2020 🎉🎉🎊🎊
Yay!! I’ve been keeping everything crossed for you xx
Thanks so much am overwhelmed by the kind support of this group 😘
Wow congratulations!! This is amazing news!! X x
This is fantastic news, huge congratulations it can be so tough but you got there xx
Do you mind me asking if you did anything differently this time around, I'm about to go for transfer number 6 tomorrow xx
Thanks so much, just so glad we tried one more time as often felt like giving up !
Only thing I did different was continued with my 200mg ubiquinol daily until I got my BFP.
As always I kept feet warm, relaxed a lot especially in first week. Also ate McDonalds chips straight after transfer then the lovely pineapple core & Brazil nuts, but I do that every time.
Other stuff was - I read ‘The Secret’, focussed on ‘positive thinking’, went walking every night and asked the Universe to help me. (Never believe in all that before) 😂. Kept fertility crystals, Rose quartz under my pillow and carried them everywhere even into the EC & ET (down my bra) 😂
I also listened to Zita West ‘positive visualisation’ podcast every night for the full 2ww.
Wishing you lots of luck will be rooting for you 🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀
Thankyou so much, sounds very similar to what I've been doing...just chopped.up my pineapple core for in the morning, plan to visit Maccies which is right opposite my apartment and have my bed socks. I'm half way through watching the Secret on Netflix and have been doing visualisation and have been to a hypnosis therapist, I've made myself an old school visualisation board to which is hanging in the future nursery!
Thankyou for responding and wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy xx
That is fantastic news!! We are trying for a sibling too! Today was my OTD but I couldn’t bring myself to do it 😬. Convinced af is on the way. Congratulations 🥳 x
Hi, oh my goodness I really hope you get the result you have dreamed of. 🤞🏼 I put off my test until the day after my OTD. I also felt like af was on way and was absolutely amazed when we got our much wanted 2 lines.
Please let us know how you get on am rooting for you 🙏🏻
So you hadn’t had any pregnancy symptoms?? I’ve had proper period cramps last couple of days, totally different from my pregnancy with my daughter. And no sore boobs this time, but then my boobs are much tougher after all the breastfeeding 🤣😂. I don’t know, I can’t decide when to test, think af will arrive first.
Congratulations again x
I had proper cramps plus bit of spot bleeding the second week so was convinced af was coming. Weirdly my boobs weren’t sore in 2ww but they Defo are now. Am feeling queezy now and have backache but nothing like that during 2ww.
I really am hopeful for you 🙏🏻
Wow, wonderful news 👏🏻🎉💓
Thanks so much, I do hope you’re feeling ok. I have been through what you have just gone through & all I can say is it will take time but everything will eventually work out in the end 😘 x
Thanks so much for that, I really appreciate it. Feeling quite flat at the moment but guess that’s normal. So so pleased you’ve had good news 😊😘 xxx
This is the best news! Many congratulations, wishing you all the best with your pregnancy- giving us all that extra bit of hope 💞
Thank you so much, am so grateful & happy just feel like this us our time at long last. If am honest I was beginning to feel like this day would never come it has been so tough ! Of course now on the nail biting 3ww but really feeling like it’s all gonna be alright 🙏🏻
Wow! Nice and strong! Congratulations 🥳💐💖
Love your updated avatar! Hope you’re still in celebratory mood and the doubts and worries of the 3WW haven’t kicked in yet?
Can’t wait to meet my 🌈 baby 🙏🏻
Weirdly today the doubts crept in think it was my partner saying he is very wary. Telling me not to get too carried away until after scan. Obviously when you have suffered a loss it’s hard not to worry but am focussing on positive thoughts 😀💪
I felt proper queezy all day which felt amazing 😂
How are you feeling ? Pulling your hair out yet 😘
It’s such a tough balance to strike: enjoying the moment and being optimistic, whilst also protecting yourself by reminding yourself nothing is certain yet... I’d stick to the positive thoughts too, but would also have moments of doubt creep in!
So happy for your squeezy feelings, enjoy them! My first pregnancy I didn’t have many symptoms but the mild nausea early mornings I almost enjoyed for that very reason. A reminder to celebrate!
🌈 🥂 👶🏻
The amount of times I’ve counted days when I can realistically test is scary. I’ve only ever tested 1-2 days before OTD, once after a fresh cycle before going in to hospital with suspected late onset OHSS (which is almost certainly triggered by pregnancy if so late) and I wanted my OH to be with me, and he couldn’t come to hospital... and once when I already feared the worst and wanted to know on the weekend rather than hear whilst in the office on Monday.
This is the first natural cycle, and I know when I ovulated as my only drug was a trigger shot. Period due Monday, but OTD Friday week. Tempted to test Monday... and then might become a serial tester if period stays away and/or have positive result as I once had a chemical. Argh! Yes, 2WW crazies and don’t even have pessaries to blame!
Oh wow, I'm just catching up on your amazing news! Massive congratulations!!! Xxx
Thanks so much am thrilled. Just forgot how nerve wracking the 3ww is 🙈. Have you had your viability scan yet ? x
So glad to read this Hope76. Wonderful news! Willing you on to have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Such positive news we can all revel in. XxX
Thanks so much, especially for the support and advice you gave me during those horrible 2 weeks 🤗
Hoping you will receive some good news soon from your Clinic 🤞🏼
My pleasure. My results deadline is tomorrow, technically in 30 minute's time. Something tells me I will have to chase the clinic for them...
🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀
Hi Hope, massive congratulations!! I am also getting close to 44 but no luck. Can you share your protocol and any add-ons you used for your cycle? X
Hi sorry I totally forgot to reply to this. Sorry you have had no luck. I was on an ‘ultra -short protocol’ so was on buserelin for 3 days and gonal f, 300 IU for approx 9-10 days. I responded quickly but only had 2 measurable follicles out of 7 which I was really disappointed about but we collected 2 eggs and 1 went on to be a top grade embryo which am now pregnant with. It really is true how it only takes one.
One thing I tried differently this time was taking ubiquinol for a longer period of time. About 5-6 months and had partner on them for a month beforehand.
The only add on I had was embryo glue. However my clinic offer this free now with all transfers.
I just never gave up and also this time I carried on as normal drinking alcohol in moderation, tea & coffee and enjoying myself. Plus put extra effort into positive thinking and speaking to the universe as daft as that sounds. 🤣
I wish you all the best in this emotional journey 🙏🏻🤞🏼🍀
2ww begins again... Third time lucky? 
Third time lucky hopefully!
