Hi everyone. Hope you’re well. I’m 42 and on my fourth IVF ET (FET) after 6 IUI attempts. I’ve had three pregnancies all ending in miscarriage at ten weeks. Today I had a much stronger positive than I’ve had at this stage before (11 days post ET) and face an agonising wait for the scan (everyone so far I’ve had bad news at). Any advice for the wait? Perhaps I should stop googling every symptom! But I can’t concentrate on anything else 😣
Wishing everyone well with your journeys xx
Congratulations wishing you all the best! I am 43, 5 weeks after many failed attempts waiting for my viability scan. I get on and off back ache, hungar pains and keep weeing a lot more. Try to rest and take it easy as much as you can. x
Thank you and congrats also. Great news. I have had pains around my uterus area I think(!) and sides and also ravenous all the time. Had one day of feeling sick and worrying that I’m not any more but boobs are very sore on and off x
Congratulations.. a strong positive is a good sign so far. Absolutely stay off Google, just enjoy every moment and leave some chores to your OH! X
Oh wow! Congratulations!!!! Fingers crossed this is finally your time ❤️👌 so sorry for your losses. What a heartbreaking journey you’ve been on. Hopefully 2021 is the year you’ve been yearning for xxx
Thanks so much ☺️
Just wanted to tell you to hang in there and take it one day at a time. I've been there and in some way I still am. 41 and 10 weeks and insanely nervous about my first prenatal test tomorrow. After I got my BFP, I was convinced it would end in MC like the last one and I had 0 expectations. While waiting for the viability scan, I tried to distract myself by going skiing and snowtubing. I mean you can't be "googling stuff" while going down the hill right? So my advice is - try to distract yourself with something you love to do that ideally also prevents you from googling symptoms to no end. Good luck!
Love this and thank you! Hope your scan went well 🤞🏻 x
Still waiting for the blood test results regarding any chromosomal abnormalities but baby is still there with a strong heartbeat, so I was relieved. Hopefully you were able to stay of google and things are going well. I had no symptoms until 7 weeks, so I know it's difficult not to worry.
I just wanted to say congratulations on BFP! Xx
Thank you 😊
I'm on that wait too!! No advice sorry, other than try to keep distracted xxx
Congratulations 🎉 also xx
Thanks so much x
And best of luck to you x
Congratulations! Keeping everything crossed for your scan x
Thank you 😊
Rehsuh this is lovely news.. many congrats. Stay positive, your baby is inside you and pray he or she will fight it through. Take progesterone, pom juice, to help it through. I am 40 and just struggling, even losing faith that any clinic can help me, so your news was a welcome one... which clinic and protocol did you use? x
Hi there, thanks so much and sorry for your difficulties. It’s a tough ride isn’t it. I’m at SouthDowns fertility clinic in Eastbourne and used standard IVF (not ICSI) and this was frozen as had hyper stimulated ovaries in Dec after the egg collection and was too poorly for them to be PPI it back in. More than happy to go into more detail etc if you like? X
Rehsuh how are you getting on? Hope you are managing to distract yourself xx. Ive booked a consultation with 2 very expensive clinics and im not sure if im being sensible, but just really desperate. Stories like yours really give me hope. What ivf protocol did you use this time? Short or long? Medication? Did u use dhea or growth hormone? Thanks xx
Hi Joey, I’m good thanks - hanging in there, one day at a time, still trying to distract myself. Understandable re the clinics. You’ve got to do what it takes, wishing you best of luck. I’m not too good with the terminology! May be being stupid but not sure what the diff is between short and long? I had stims (injections - Menopur) in November and produced 13 eggs - I think they all fertilised and had six good blastocysts but then had Ovarian Hyper stimulation syndrome and was quite ill so couldn’t have them put back until this month. This cycle I’ve been on oestrogen (Progynova) three times daily and progesterone pessaries since just before the transfer. All seems good. Had a tiny bit of spotting yest which alarmed me but everything points to that being normal. Also have pains a bit like mild period pain. Thinking of you. When does yours all start? X
Congratulations please try to remember that every pregnancy is not the same and that this pregnancy is going to have a beautiful ending with a beautiful baby I no is not easy but try and rest as much as you can don’t t over stress yourself with house work and dont do laundry, hanging laundry, vacuuming or mopping. Just do things that make you relax and laugh that will help a lot. Wishing you all the best
Oh wow! A massive congratulations 🥳 This is a first step in the right direction. All will be well! 🙏🏾
Thanks 😊 very much x
Stop googling symptoms for sure. A quantitative blood HCG can be reassuring though. Best
positive test but now bleeding 
Hidden infections test - positive 
Positive Test but Heavy bleeding
*sensitive*positive test...
False positive OPK test?
