2ww Torture…

Morning girls, hope all is well!

Currently 5dp5dt and finding it torture, been dreaming last night about that positive pregnancy test 🙈 Iv felt so positive it’s going to work until Iv woke up today and can’t help but think I’m being naive. Nothing is easy in my life so why would it work first time? Hoping for the best but prepared for the worse, well that’s what I keep telling myself. Feeling all the emotions. Had no other symptoms apart from cramping the first three days which I’m pretty sure it was from the procedure. Iv been off work since Tuesday and I’m back in work tomorrow OTD is Saturday 👶🏼🥚🤍🤞🏼🙏🏼💫 I half want to just live in this bubble of hope! Is anyone else feeling the same 😩 just hoping we all get to see our positive tests on our official test day! Is anyone testing before?

Sorry for the rant 🙈🙈🙈

Hey!! I’m 6dp5dt and have been testing since 4dpt against all advice 😂😂My OTD isn’t until the 6th though! I didn’t believe it but this stage is far worse than anything else don’t you think!

Holding out all hopes that both of ours stick 🤞

If you are going to test early (again against all advice 😂) the first response tests read the very lowest HCG level of all tests available by quite a long shot!

I’ve got some faint positives at present but have read that most people don’t at this stage so if you do decide to test please don’t compare to anyone else’s

I can post the picture if you’d like to see but don’t want to add to any temptation you might have!

Hey babe! Omg it really is! One day I’m confident the next I’m not.. hopefully they do Iv got everything crossed for us 🤞🏼🥰

Have u!? Omg that’s good news then theirs a faint line!!! Your brave testing! I’m dying to test but I can’t face it being negative. I’m DREADING test day Incase it is! 🙈🙈 but also can’t wait to find out ffs this is stressful 😂😂

I’d love to see but don’t tempt me 😂 Have you had any symptoms? What grade embryo was yours? Mine was a 5AA frozen little embaby 👶🏼🥚💫🙏🏼🤍

I know exactly what you mean I’ve been trying to keep myself busy but feeling soooo tired and hungry all the time Yep I feel like I’ve got myself stuck in the spiral now there’s no going back hold your guns for sure!!!

There needs to be a 2WW camp so we can distract each other it’s horrid isn’t it 😂

Yes similar to you cramps the first few days, feeling super tired and super hungry and sore nips! What about you?

I think most of those can be explained away by the progesterone

Wow that’s amazing!!! Ours is a 5AA too but fresh ☺️ I also read the other day that over 70% of 5AA embryos are boys how strange is that?! Xx

It’s so hard isn’t it! Iv been off work since Tuesday but back in tomorrow… so hopefully that will keep me a little occupied! Iv been going mad in this house it’s driving me insane!

Their deffo does need to be a camp for 2 week waits 😂 Iv found this forum so helpful though have you?

Yes Iv had exactly the same, mild cramps I had a weird pain what woke me up in the middle of the night! Didn’t last long though. My cramps have stopped it was day 2-3. My nipples r so tender and sore! I feel so bloated and getting out of breath but that might just be me being lazy 😂 and I swear to god I can’t stop eating it’s awful!! Deffo all the meds but hoping it’s symptoms.

Oh god 70%! That doesn’t surprise me I’d love a girl but tbh as long as it’s healthy& I have a baby I’d be super lucky whatever the gender! When we had our transfer on Tuesday the embryologist brought our little embaby out in the catheter & it had a small pink label on it my partner was like do use know the gender then when we got out he was saying it’s deffo a girl embryo 😂 I said no it won’t be they don’t know!! But I’d be happy whatever the gender! Xxx

Oh that’s good at least you’ve had time to rest ☺️ I’ve been off of work the whole of my treatment pretty much I work as a nurse and it’s been honest hell 😂 really glad for it up until now as I feel like I’ve had the time to concentrate on everything properly but could probably do with the distraction now! Weird that we’ve both had the same hopefully that’s all good news 🤞

I get proper hangry too I feel bad for my other half 😂

Yeah it’s so strange isn’t it!! We have always said we would prefer a boy first, love that all the ones I know are little mentalists 😂 you wait we’ll probs both end up with opposites!

But you’re right any baby would be a miracle 💕

No way how strange would that be!! With my transfer everything was hidden even the bloody ultrasound screen the nurse was stood right in the way bless her but my other half was able to film it! Xx

Ah you think it’s good having the time off but being off and all your friends are working or you having to rest is a nightmare isn’t it.. that’s probably why we have ate the world 😂 boredom!

I know and literally only a day apart! My transfer was in Liverpool woman’s hospital, our transfer screen was switched off, music didn’t work 😂🙈 I was gutted we wasn’t able to film it! Did you get a scan picture? Of the embryo? I asked for one as Iv seen in all these blogs Iv been watching and they said they don’t do them but I’m able to take a picture instead of the embryo on the other screen on the wall. They had the picture up of it on the transfer but the other screen down I felt cheeky asking can we put it on.

You have got me dying to test now whilst he’s at work 😂🙈🙏🏼💫

Emilye92x in reply to TTC1994

Oh no way!!! To be fair had it all gone ahead that sounds like a proper spa experience we didn’t have any of that! The nurse rubbing my leg was as luxurious as it got for us 😂😂Yeah doing nothing is deffo worse isn’t it!

We didn’t get a photo of the embryo but we paid for an embryoscope so have a video of the development which is insane! £500 it cost mind!

Awh bless you you definitely should have pestered them it’s nice to have memories - I’ve made a 1 second every day video of the whole experience just to look back on it all which has been lush

Yes definitely will and likewise I’m sooo jealous your official test date is earlier than mine please do a post/send me a dm when you find out!!

Have you got any friends that have gone through IVF to speak too? Xx

TTC1994 profile image
TTC1994 in reply to Emilye92x

Omg that’s amazing! They didn’t give us the option or if you could do that they didn’t mention it, they didn’t really mention a lot of stuff tbh Iv just been watching blogs to try and educate myself. I’d have paid that! U can’t put a price on this experience if you have the funds then 100%! It’s so magical the way u get to see your future baby abs the science what goes into it! Love that!

Do you have a Instagram for fertility? I was going to make one but my partner is so private! He didn’t want to so I have to take that into consideration.. (this is why I’m on here) I found this and it’s been amazing!

I know!! 7th mine is but I’ll probably test a day or two earlier 🙈

You’ll have to share your video on here if you can or if u have a insta I’ll follow you! My partners cousin is going thru it and has been thru it, I have a few clients who have too so Iv been quite lucky because it’s not a topic people like to speak about, so many girls go thru it! Iv got a few clips of the journey I’m putting together and going to announce it on my work insta when I’m 3+ months 🤰 raise some awareness and have it spoken about more because it can be quite daunting not knowing anything! Xx

Emilye92x in reply to TTC1994

That’s such a shame it’s a lot of money but they said that it’s proven that you get more blastocysts so we didn’t hesitate as I don’t have my tubes any more IVF will forever be our only option! We bagged 4 in the freezer thankfully 🤞 have you got any stored for another day? I know it’s crazy as horrible as it is to deal with infertility it is nice to have some small perks of being able to track everything from day 1 in photos and videos 💕

Awh I’m sorry your clinic weren’t particularly thorough it can be such a lovely journey sometimes and you want to feel as informed as you possibly can don’t you!!

I thought yours was earlier for some reason if you test earlier let me know as mine is the 6th! I read yours as earlier for some reason sorry forgot what day it is 😂

Yeah I definitely will!! I haven’t posted anything online actually I’m not overly active online except for on here to be honest! I’ve shared quite a lot with friends and family your right it’s so nice to have people to talk to about it as it is a pretty hush subject, and actually since I’ve been open with it at work I’ve had two girls come to be and tell me about their fertility issues it’s deffo therapeutic and people are never as judgy as you imagine they’ll be!

Awh that’s such a nice idea I was thinking of doing something similar if we’re lucky enough to make a birth announcement 💕

I’ve followed a girl called Caitlyn O’Neil on tik tok which gave me sooo much preparation so heartbreaking how tough her journey has been though 😢

Do you think all going well you’ll find out the gender?

Xx

TTC1994 profile image
TTC1994 in reply to Emilye92x

Ahh do you not!? 😢 at least this is a option! The things we have to go thru! It’s amazing what they can do to help though! I have PCOS and don’t have periods, we’ll have about 2 natural ones a year so we got quite a lot of eggs luckily enough! 46 but 11 made it to the blast stage so we have 10 left in the freezer.. (football team) 😂😂 I said though I’d be lucky for even 1! It only takes 1 embryo 🙏🏼 I’m just super grateful.

Yes exactly it’s a hard journey but got to think positive, we get to see the science behind it! Tbh Iv been so invested in it since I got told last year ivf would be the next step for us. It’s so interesting! Iv been open about it and told family and friends too! One of the girls has messaged and she’s having to go down this route too with unexplained infertility. It’s so common it’s unbelievable. It’s good you have spoken out about it then you have family and friends to lean on because it’s a tough journey.

Ah I’ll have to have a little nose and follow her I LOVE watching anything ivf related and watching peoples journeys!

Yes 100% going to find out the gender! My friends who have had babies haven’t and it’s so bloody hard finding baby clothes for them theirs only so much neutrals you can buy!! 😂 plus I’m impatient! Would you find out? It would be a nice surprise though xx

Emilye92x profile image
Emilye92x in reply to TTC1994

No they were both completely blocked and if they stayed they would’ve reduced our chances of IVF working by 50% how crazy!OMG 11 that is absolutely amazing you guys must have been absolutely over the moon!!!

Yeah exactly I’ve got a few friends who are soooo interested in the whole process it’s mental how much you learn too when you’re going through it!

Yeah you deffo should she’s on her fourth cycle I think now 💔

Me too it’s like a form of therapy isn’t it!!

How have your work been with the whole process?

Omg stop I get so annoyed when people don’t find out 😂😂 I love a bit of crochet and always make baby blankets for them and the neutral ones are SO boring!

Xx

TTC1994 in reply to Emilye92x

Oh bloody hell im so sorry to hear that! 😢 🤍 your so strong! We was shocked tbh! But it was good news so we was delighted!

Yes it’s hard not to be invested isn’t it! I’m not even one for science but this has me so invested! All my work girls r the same abs everyone I speak about it too are amazed what they can do!

Just give her a follow Iv seen her on tiktok so sad! I can’t watch any sad ones though I have to watch the positives 🙈 or I’m like a emotional mess!!

I own my own business so it’s ok it’s so much easier! Iv just been having all my appointments and scans between 8am 8.30am and the hospital I’m at is 5 mins away from my work so worked out well, how’s your work been with you?

You should deffo start ur insta of ur ivf journey and put ur blankets on their they would deffo sell! Loads of mums & mums to be would be interested! Perfect little business idea! 💡

Hey lovely!How have the last couple of days been?

Have you managed to stay away from the tests?!

What did you reckon of Caitlyns videos she seems so lovely I feel like I know her as a friend I’ve been following her for so long 😂😂😂

Awh that sounds really good!! Has work been okay today did you manage to concentrate?

I worked for the first week of treatment it’s been absolutely horrendous, no staff not getting breaks or able to eat or drink properly/if at all! (I’m a nurse in the NHS big surprise it’s a state 😂)

I told my manager from the get go out situation and she told me to sign myself off if work was too much so that’s exactly what I did until next week which has been amazing!

I love that idea!! I’m soooo slow at crocheting though I think I would need to quit my actual job to make any kind of money from it 😂 xx

Hey! Not too bad I’m going out my mind though 🙈 I want to test but my anxiety is KILLING ME my test days Saturday but I’m going to tell the hospital I’ll call them Monday as I’m working sat & I’ll do the test Sunday as I have time to process the outcome (preparing for the worse but hoping for the best) How have you been? Have you tested? You only have 3 days left till OTD! 🙊🙊

Ah it’s so sad isn’t it! She’s so positive though! I love her TIKTOKs! It’s crazy how invested you get isn’t it 😂 I bet you do if ur following her journey!

Works been good I do lashes so I’m sat down taking it easy all day! Clients r keeping me busy thank god! Although I had one client today and I didn’t even make convo I kept thinking about how anxious I’m being and putting this test off!

Omg you need to take it easy! My friends are nurses and I could imagine how run off your feet you was! You need to make some time for yourself! Have u done anything nice with your week off?

😂😂😂 well you never know! Practice makes perfect you’ll pick ur speed up! Saying that you won’t have time when ur little miracle is here! 🤍🤍🤍

Emilye92x in reply to TTC1994

Awh bless you I bet that must be horrible I’m so sorry 😢 well done for staying strong though not long now and all fingers crossed what will be will be 🤞🤞💕Yeah that’s a really good idea soooo hoping for good news for you!!

I have tested it’s a vicious spiral I can’t get out of at this point 😂 still getting more positive thank goodness but the more I stare the harder it is to tell I look at the photos about 10 times a day!

Yeah me too she’s lush I wish there were more British IVF stories on tik tok though!

That’s really good it I’m glad you’re able to rest hopefully your days aren’t to stressful in the lead up that’s the last thing you want to be worrying about! It’s sooo hard to take it off your mind isn’t it I was out with friends today and had to stop myself bringing IVF up at least 3 times 😂

Yes thank you it’s been lovely I live in Bristol so have done lots of shopping and walks! What about you?

That is very true I’ll try and crochet a whole wardrobe in preparation 😂🤞 let me know your results and regardless I’ll happily make you a blanket ! Xx

Omggg that’s amazing! What day did u start to test? Sorry u might have said in those comments but my brain is like a siv atm! That’s so amazing tho congratulations! 🤍🙏🏼💫🤞🏼 Ah me too! Hopefully it will be! If not I’m booking a holiday! Have you been away lately? I feel like it takes over your life I haven’t been away for ages so that’s the plan! Take a month or two off then try again!

No I know I wish their was! I watch a girl from London called jayejayex her journey has been rough too! Feel so sorry for her! We need to watch more positive ones though!!

Yeah it’s quite therapeutic tbh!

Ahhh I bet ur friends are super invested though! It’s hard isn’t it I feel like it can consume ur life! That’s lit me I speak about it to all my mates I can’t help it it’s such a huge thing though! Your bound to speak about it but I know what u mean 😂

Has the weather been nice!? I’m in Liverpool it’s been crap here 😂🙈 you have got it lucky!! That’s nice though make the most of it before ur back on ur feet again!

🤍🤍🤍

Emilye92x in reply to TTC1994

I started on day 4 🫣🫣🫣🫣But did get a super super faint positive and I think that’s what spurred me on to test every day now about £40 down here I am 😂

Omg don’t be silly my brain is awful at the minute too I think our brains can only hold so much information through all this!

Awh that sounds like such a good idea in fact I think you should book a holiday regardless to be fair you bloody deserve it!!!

I said to Chris (other half) if come OTD it’s negative we’re necking a few bottles of rose smoking 20 cigs each to get it out of our system then make a plan the following day 😂

We’ve got a weekend away voucher to be fair so will probs use that in the next few weeks!

Awh that’s sad is she on Tik Tok? Yeah I totally agree it gives you hope watching the positive ones for sure!

Hahah you’re so right at least we all have each other but it’s lush when your friends are just as invested as you are, makes it feel so special 💕

Kind of nice, a bit drizzly but warm!! The drizzly days are shopping days and now I’m poor as sin 😂 plus we’re getting married in July so have been getting bits sorted for that too!! Are you and your partner married/engaged? Xx

TTC1994 profile image
TTC1994 in reply to Emilye92x

Oh don’t their so expensive aren’t they! I went today to buy some from Superdrug! I always said I’m going to test early too 😂 just can’t bring myself to it though! It’s good to test to see the lines go darker!

I know! I deffo need to book a holiday!

The weekend away voucher would be nice! Something to look forward too! We went the lakes for his birthday the other week was a nice little get away to unwind! Would you go away pregnant? After 3 months think your ok aren’t you..

Yes love that have a blow out! But I’m sure your fine! Those lines are darkening! Iv got everything crossed for u both 🤞🏼💫🙏🏼

Yes she’s on TIKTOK!

Have a little look at her journey, 😞

Ah are use! That’s amazing are you getting married over here? Had it been effected by COVID or have use been ok? We aren’t married no and not engaged 😂🙈 over 7 years down the line I don’t know what he’s waiting for!! He’s too comfy! He’s got to 10 years then if he hasn’t I’ll have to propose to him 😂 no I’m joking! He best had! Feel like when we have kids maybe then. Who knows, he doesn’t know how good he’s got it though, home cooked meals every night on the table for when he’s home from work… he would be silly not too 😂

Emilye92x in reply to TTC1994

It’s hideous isn’t it!! No I think that’s fair enough if you’re feeling anxious it’s just not worth it you’ve done so so well already! I’ve checked mine again this morning and it looks the same as yesterday and the day before and it’s put my head in a spin, knew I should have listened to everyone what am I like 😖Awh that sounds lovely was that the Lake District? I’ve never been as it’s quite a way from us but have always wanted to it looks so beautiful!! I think we’ll just book somewhere in England to go away for now until we’re in a good position IVF wise 😊 except we do have a wedding to go to in Italy next month! Where would you book to go?

Yeah we’re getting married in Bath I’m sooo excited, luckily we haven’t had to rearrange anything we have ourselves a couple of years so have missed covid completely!

Hahahaha I think you should 😉 mine took 8 years to propose so I feel your pain!! And in my mind a child is far more of a commitment that marriage so I’d say your in a good spot 🥰

Hey lovely.

I had my FET at the Hewitt on Monday!

I asked specifically if my husband could film it and they said they don’t allow it. He could take a photo of the embryo on the screen afterwards (annoyingly they froze the image when it was slightly out of focus!)

We had a guided transfer and the scanner lady gave us a print out of the “flash” of the embryo going in (it’s not actually the embryo as it’s too small apparently!)

I asked as soon as we got taken through to our room about the embryo development time lapse and was told to ask the embryologist, so I did, as soon as we got taken through to the transfer room and she came out to meet us. She got it ready for us there and then and we took it home. It’s included if you pay private.

I’d also read on some of our information that the Hewitt use embryo glue as standard (not sure if this is both for NHS and private or not but I don’t see why not)

I’ve been having dreams about doing my test early! I’d been ok initially but yesterday I started going out of my mind wanting to do it early!! I must resist!!!

I’ve been sharing the whole of my journey on my Instagram and Facebook, we’ve had so much support and so many prayers, it’s been amazing. I’ve also had people contact me directly to say they’ve really appreciated my openness and honesty, and they’ve opened up about difficulties with their own ttc journey.

Sending lots of baby dust your way xxxx

TTC1994 in reply to PinkDaisies

Hey babe! Ah really that’s so annoying isn’t it that they don’t let you film it! It 100% should be aloud! Ahhh was it all blurred! 😢 that’s a nightmare!

At least you have your time lapse! That’s something to treasure! It’s amazing! Iv seen them on ivf pages! Our round is NHS funded, I didn’t think to ask for it tbh 🙈 I’d have been happy to pay because it’s something you can treasure forever and not everyone gets to say or have a time lapse of their future baby! It’s unreal!

That’s like me Iv been absolutely fine then yesterday I hit a brick wall! Was feeling so down, felt like it’s not worked wanted to test but scared I can’t cope haha! What’s your Instagram and I’ll give you a follow! So your only a day ahead of me aren’t you, when did they tell you to test? Would it be Friday? They have told me to test Saturday which isn’t exactly two weeks it’s just under

Hopefully we get our BFP this week!!

Sending you loads of luck 🍀 xxx

PinkDaisies profile image
PinkDaisies in reply to TTC1994

Hey honey.

It’s only a little blurred so it’s still something to cherish, but definitely the time lapse is amazing.

I’m sure you could probably ring them and ask them for your usb of the time lapse.

Test day is Friday! Hopefully the next few days goes fast for us!! My best friend of 24 years had her FET the same day as me, but she is with Care Manchester and her OTD is a week today!

My Instagram is Hazeydaisy17

TTC1994 in reply to PinkDaisies

I might actually see if they still have it! I need to pop in this week for more needles for my progesterone tbh!

Yes least you have it! Iv just follows you on Instagram (it’s my business page)

Ahhh do you think your going to test before or wait? Hopefully it fly’s by! I’m back at work today so that’s keeping my mind occupied hopefully 🤞🏼 Have you had any symptoms?

🤍

PinkDaisies profile image
PinkDaisies in reply to TTC1994

I’m going to desperately try to hold off until Friday morning!! I’ve been off work and aren’t due back until a week tomorrow so just trying to book things in this week to keep me occupied!!

I’ve had a few tiny twinges and my boobs have been really sore the last 3/4 days but that’s it really.

Yes, definitely ask them when you go in!! Or even give them a ring first and ask and then it might be ready for you when do you go in.

Xxx

TTC1994 profile image
TTC1994 in reply to PinkDaisies

Oh that’s good! Have work been ok with you taking the time off? Wish I took the full two weeks off! 🙈 defiantly keep yourself occupied I feel like it’s worse when you don’t have nothing to keep u sane!

Have you! That’s good signs then! Mine have been the same sore boobs, feeling so full and bloated, few period pains & been waking up early desperate to pee! Hopefully It’s all good for us all! 🤞🏼🙏🏼🤍💫👶🏼🥚

I’ll give them a call tomorrow I feel so cheeky asking I’ll just say, I don’t mind paying! Because I don’t tbh I’d love to have it! Xxx

PinkDaisies profile image
PinkDaisies in reply to TTC1994

I’ve had sick notes from the GP. I work in a high school for young people with severe learning difficulties, so not a stress free work environment!!

Yeah, definitely ring them and ask! Don’t feel cheeky. However if you get it I warn you, you will just keep watching it over and over. Ha ha!! Xxx

TTC1994 profile image
TTC1994 in reply to PinkDaisies

Oh that’s good then! Yes definitely you need the time off & your work is more full on and hands on!

Ahh I’m going to call up tomorrow and ask for it 🙈 suppose if u don’t ask u don’t get hopefully they still have it stored xxx

Im 5dp5dt (fet) i have very very few symptoms today. Just darkening of nipples and very constipated. All could be progesterone or pregnancy. Who knows! Im trying to hold off testing until 8th may 🥴

TTC1994 in reply to SUMMERTIME02

Hey! Ah so we had our transfers same day! When’s your OFT? They have said Saturday 7th for mine… how are you feeling is this ur first transfer? It’s hard isn’t it! I’m any little symptom I’m getting I’m running away with! 🙈 only a week left for us 🤞🏼🙏🏼🤍💫 baby dust r way 🤍

SUMMERTIME02 profile image
SUMMERTIME02 in reply to TTC1994

My OTD is the 9th. Its my 2nd transfer. First one was unsuccessful so i did emma, Alice and era test, used embryo glue and lubion for this transfer. Im hoping its what makes the difference! wishing us all the best! X

TTC1994 profile image
TTC1994 in reply to SUMMERTIME02

Ah see I didn’t get the option for the glue! 🙈🙈 it’s so hard to remember everything in the moment of the appointments and ask! It’s my first time too so I’m a little unfamiliar with things & self educated 🙈 keep me updated! Best of luck girly xxx

Hopingforbaby_

It is absolute torture! I’m 4dp5dt… OTD is May 9th. Just like you I cramped the first few days but other than that I’m not feeling much. I am a little bloated and my boobs have been sore. One nipple changed colour lmao… it’s so hard to know what’s a symptom of pregnancy or just the progesterone. My clinic does assisted hatching for everyone but I didn’t know there was glue either…. It’s my first transfer (4BB) and I’ve still got three on ice but I don’t want to have to do this again unless we’re going for a sibling 😆 sending lots of baby dust out to everyone xoxo

TTC1994 in reply to Hopingforbaby_

Hey babes! Loads are saying their nipples have changed! I haven’t taken no notice of mine I’ll have to check when I leave work 😂🙈 I haven’t noticed when showering tbh! It’s so hard isn’t it! I keep symptom spotting!! the other half just laughs at me now every time I say something he makes a joke saying “that’s a symptom “ 😂 hopefully it is for us all!! Are you scared to test? I’m terrified! Hopefully we get a BFP! And don’t have to go thru it again like u said just for sibling 🤞🏼🙏🏼🤍💫👶🏼 Things is girls have to go thru! Are you finding it hard? Or are you working to keep occupied?

You’ll have to keep us updated!! 🤍

I’m finding it super hard. I took the week off work. I’ve had such a crazy past six months (mom got cancer, uncle passed away, work is busier than ever, major renovations, add Ivf on top of it and I’m barely coping) I feel like I’m in a soap show 😔 never been so sad in my life, I'm positive it’s not helpful. Also feel like it’s now or never so carried on with the treatment plan. My Mum says something good has to come from all this heartache. I’ve been trying to stay busy around the house. We live on a large piece of land and I have a ton of fur babies to keep me sane. We go for walks and try to do the best we can…. I have tested the past two days 🙈 🙈 🙈 I know it’s too early I don’t know why I’m wasting the tests lol but I need to know! Did you say you didn’t want to test yet? I wish I had of waited it’s stressing me out 😆 we have some baby chickens coming this eeek though so yay babies! Hopefully that’ll take my mind of things for a while at least. One thing I noticed last night and this morning is that my cm is watery lately… trying not to symptom spot too much but that’s pretty unusual for me. Thanks for listening to my life story 😳 Are you having a hard time focusing at work? I needed some time off anyways but I was worried I wouldn’t be of any use there right now because of my scattered brain.

Oh my god that’s awful I’m so sorry to hear that! I couldn’t imagine what ur going thru 😢🙏🏼 Sending all my love 🤍 Something good definitely has to come from all this heart ache! 1million %

Omg I LOVE UR FUR BABIES! They make everything better don’t they! I say animals are like therapy! My dog is my little councillor and when I come home from work every day or have a stressful day he makes everything ok!

So you definitely have plenty to keep ur mind busy& keep your spirit up!

You defiantly will have ur hands full with some chickens on the way too 😂 so cute!! Take it ur a animal lover then! I’m obsessed with them!

Have you tested!!! Omg did u see a line? It’s deffo early tho! I’m dying to but I’m so scared!! I just don’t want to be disappointed, I think nothing ever goes right for me it’s always awkward! I also wanted to test alone and surprise other half if it’s positive but don’t think I can I think I need support to prepare for the worse! I’m getting mild cramps today while at work! Hope it’s not a period! I never have them so it best not come! Little embryo best have stuck 😂🤞🏼 Rrrr fingers crossed for us all! 🙏🏼🤍💫

Yes time off for u is totally needed! We haven’t had the best of luck either, I lost my brother 18 months ago and my partner lost his mum in the same week! Then going thru all this it’s so hard an emotional. I put myself in work more hours as a distraction. But we will get their soon girly!

Your pets r so cute 💘

Thanks sounds like you’ve been through the ringer too 💕 Love these pets they’ve helped me get through for sure! This morning I thought I saw a super faint line but it was one of the cheap tests out of the ovulation testing kit from way back when I thought maybe we would conceive naturally 😆 I took a pic and it won’t even show up through the camera so I may have just been seeing things. Im going to go get a FRER today. Hubby doesn’t know yet 🙈 I don’t want to get his hopes up and want to surprise him with the positive test!

I went the Asda this morning and had to stop myself from buying clear blue! I’m going the Superdrug after work thought to buy one and FR tests! It’s going to be hard not to test but think I won’t because I’m scared 🙈 I’ll keep you updated though! Invested in your story now you’ll have to keep me updated! Have u made a fertility Instagram? Xxx

Hi! How’re you doing today!?! Have you broken down and tested yet? Lol I did 😳 this waiting is killing me! I need to go into the clinic on Saturday to refill my meds. I’m trying to talk them into doing my beta then too so I don’t need to go back in on Monday. I live 4 hours away so it’s always a huge hassle just going in. Thinking of you xoxo

Hey! I had these cheap tests from wayyyy back when I was hopefully for natural conception and did ovulation testing…. Yesterday morning I figured what the heck I’m gonna just do it. As a person I tend to be a little on the impatient side 😆 I thought there was a really faint line but wondered if my eyes were playing tricks on me. At 4dpt it’s still too early. So in the afternoon I tried again just for fun (probably should have just worked this week lol), and for sure was the faintest of lines even the hubs could see it…. So then I was really invested and grabbed a box of early result tests from the pharmacy. This morning tested again and again another faint line but a wee bit darker than yesterday! I’m not using the P word until beta confirms though, and not making it public probably for quite a few weeks yet. It’s scary right!?! Anything could still happen. I’m proud of you for holding out on the testing, I didn’t have it in me!!!

Iv just been to Superdrug! I think I have anxiety to test like really bad I just don’t want to 🙈 is this even normal! My partner has told me not to test before hand but that’s actually not a problem the way I’m feeling!

Shut up! Omg that’s amazing hopefully keeps getting darker! I’m made up for you both!! Keep me updated babe! But looks like it’s good news!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m 6 days past fresh transfer and have given in today and tested this AM, and was very much negative 😢. I really try and hold out to testing which is another week away but couldn’t. I felt like I had symptoms, slightly hungrier and slight tingly boobs so thought there might be something but clearly thats the medication! Oh well. Good luck with your test 😀
