Hi, I’m having my next FET this afternoon (27/02) single transfer. Just wondering if anyone else was transferring around the same time or just recently starting their TWW.
Thank you

Good luck MiniMe23 , fingers crossed for you! My FET is end of next week so won’t be far behind! How have you found the meds leading up to your FET? I’m on oestrogen (Elleste solo tablets), and aspirin, then add cyclogest pesseries this weekend. Feels very odd not doing any injections like I did last time, not complaining though 😊 xx
Aww thank you. And here’s hoping the coming week flys by for you. The meds I’m on now are the same as previously. Utrogestan pessaries x3 daily, and Progynova x3 daily along with lubion injections daily and starting from tomorrow Clexane and aspirin. However before I was very sore and bloated plus the pessaries caused lots of irrration. In addition I felt like I put on about 2 stone. This time Iv only had the irritation but have been very nauseous which is new to me. But all the symptoms will be worth it if successful.
Transfer went really well today and embryologists said our embryo had thawed beautifully in her words. So it was nice she was so positive before hand. Now comes the hard part. As I absolutely hate the TWW and the temptation to test early that comes with analysing every little twinge. xx
So glad it went well, another hurdle over! Best of luck for the TWW, keep yourself busy and I’ll be rooting for you! Xx
Hi, how are you doing? Have you had your FET yet. I know it was the end of the week. But couldn’t remember if you’d said what day xx
Good timing, we are just in the car park at the clinic waiting to go in 😬 trying to currently manage the full bladder 🙈 hope you’re doing ok? Xx
Oh brilliant. All the best. Are you having single or double? Bursting bladder can be so painful. I was overly full at mine and had to go and partially empty it. I’m okay thank you. Had my bloods done at 10:30. But won’t get results until tea time all being well. So just trying to keep busy again whilst I wait in limbo xx
Went for a single this time, think I will keep going single for now , but will see how things pan out 😬 Got my fingers crossed for you today! Keep distracted where you can this afternoon! X
Thank you. Iv not stopped since first thing. Anything to keep me busy. Hope you FET went well. And your little embryo is a sticky one. 🤞🏽xx
🤞🤞🤞 embryo on board! Feeling the hope today - I’d forgotten how surreal it feels, and I’m embracing this hopeful stage (before the doubt starts creeping in!) xx
That’s brilliant. Iv got everything crossed for you. And congratulations on officially being PUPO.
When is your OTD? And do you test at home or with Beta hcg xx
Thank you! ❤️ official test date is Sunday 17th March - the clinic give me a urine test to take at home on that date, and then a finger prick test to take 3 days later. If both positive, they book a scan in for day 35-40. Going to be a lonnnng 10 days but going to take a leaf out of your book and keep nice and busy! Won’t test early I don’t think, I didn’t last time and i think that works best for me xx
Iv heard a lot do that. But not experienced it myself. And seems forever away like today did. But it honestly wasn’t that bad. Having this thread and plenty of distraction tactics helped me this time around. And first time Iv never caved and tested early. Largely in part to all you lovelies.
Fingers crossed for a smooth, stress free and speedy TWW for you xx
❤️🤞🏽
Rooting for you and hope you get the result, sending lots of love xx
Hi hope you’re okay. Sorry for the late reply.
Got my results and it’s BFP 💜🙏🏽
However my levels were lower than expected so have to have my bloods done again in 48 hours to check everything is progressing as it should. I am happy but don’t feel I can enjoy the moment with all the uncertainty. Hoping and praying this little one is a fighter and was just late to implant xx
Morning,
All the best for your test today. I have everything crossed for you xx
❤️
Thanks for checking in MiniMe23 it wasn’t my time this cycle sadly, gutted to say the least. But in time will pick myself back up and try again. Hope you’re doing ok and wishing you all the best x
I am so sorry to hear this. I had everything crossed for a successful outcome. I hope you have support around you. As I know each failed transfer is devastating.
Be kind to yourself no matter what. And whether you decide to take a break or jump straight back in just remember each heartbreak is potentially bringing you one step closer. Sending you a virtual hug and lots of love. And here’s hoping your happy ending is not too far away xx
❤️❤️
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 The 2WW is the worst isn’t it.. then there’s the wait for the scan. I am the most impatient person ever too!
MiniMe23• in reply to
I’m like that. I’ll be happy to get to the next hurdle fingers crossed 🤞🏽
But then like you say, then it’s waiting on a scan. I’ve had high rush pregnancies so that’s a worry in itself. The only benefit being that I get regular monitoring scans every fortnight which adds extra reassurance x
Morning hop your transfer works I'm keeping things crossed! ❤️🤞 can you take clexane and aspirin together?
Thank you so much. Iv got everything crossed for myself and everyone on this thread and forum. And yes my dr advised to take both following transfer. Iv suffered lots of natural miscarriages previously so I think that’s the reason behind it.
Although I don’t envy anyone taking Clexane. As I personally find it the hardest injection to take as the needle never seems to penetrate skin well and it stings and burns afterwards x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 the bruises are awful too 😞 my tummy’s covered in them 😞
MiniMe23• in reply to
Mine too. The Lubion I can take. But the Clexane….. Wow!!! 😣
It stings and burns for around an hour after. Wish I could have it in a glass vile. Mine are in a pre loaded injection with a huge spring inside and the needle is really thick. I feel like a human pin cushion x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 mine are the same you should see my tummy… so bruised. Sometimes they hurt for days after as well, don’t they? the injection sites?
MiniMe23• in reply to
Yes they do. And I’d consider myself as having a high pain threshold. But they are brutal. On a night I can’t get comfy as I’m usually a side sleeper and partly on my stomach. But I’m now so tender for left to right. X
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 long do you have to take them? Not everyone has to take them do they X
MiniMe23• in reply to
Morning,
No not everyone will need them. Depends on your protocol and plan from the doctor. I have previously had a high miscarriage rate and also preterm delivery so as a result, if positive I’ll be looking to take them right up until week 16. Possibly longer. And potentially adding in a steroid such as pednisolone x
My transfer is next Wednesday. Wishing you both so much luck and that you are able to fill the TWW with lots of lovely things to rest your minds a little xx
Thank you. And good luck for your upcoming transfer. Wishing you all the best x
Best of luck to you too, with collection and hopeful transfer!! Xxx
• in reply tosilvervn
silvervn good luck to you too x
Morning. Just seeing how you were feeling ahead of your upcoming transfer x
Thank you so much for checking in. Egg retrieval yesterday, 17 eggs, 9 IVF, 8 ICSI, 9 have fertilised (3 of those were IVF). I’m so bloated and uncomfortable but happy with our collection and hopeful transfer can go ahead Wednesday.
How are you getting on? Hope you are well xxx
I’m okay thank you. Just taking each day as it comes. Congratulations on your collection. That’s an amazing number. Is this your first collection? And do you mind me asking the decision behind both ivf & icsi?
Hopefully your boating subsidies soon. I hated that feeling and could not get comfortable. And in the first 2 days followed EC I was bigger than I had been at 5 month pregnant.
Wednesday will be here soon enough. Enjoy this time beforehand. Here’s hoping and praying your transfer is a successful one x
Thank you so much. The kindness on here has really given me a boost.
Oh that makes me feel better, I literally cannot believe how “big” I am. I don’t mind, it’s just not comfortable at all and I didn’t expect it to be as bad as this.
Yes, first collection. The clinic advised splitting due to inconsistent results for my partner. Clearly a wise decision as only a third of the IVF eggs fertilised. I know there’s no guarantee for Wednesday but it has made me feel more optimistic than I’ve been previously. I just keep reminding myself it only takes one!
I’m glad you are doing well, waiting for news constantly is already making me a bit all over the place! I will be keeping everything crossed for you on test day. Xxx
Thank you so much. And you’re right it only takes one. Hopefully you succeed first time and you have your Frosties stored for future siblings if you wish. It’s definitely nice talking to others and having people to relate to and reach out to if needed. I love that we’re all close by too. And even after I’ll be checking in to see how your TWW goes. Here’s hoping there will be positive tests all round xx
How are you feeling today. Not long until your transfer now. Do you have anything nice planned in the last run up? x
Morning,
Just wanted to wish you good luck for your transfer today. I’m sure everything will go smoothly. At last though…
The first wait is finally over and your embryo will soon be on board. Do let us know how it all goes if you get chance xx
Thank you! Sorry I didn't see this, I was getting in to too many internet holes so banned myself.
Hope all went well for you x
I know what you mean. Internet searches are dangerous. And thank you. My HCG had doubled today x
This is brilliant, I’m so happy for you! Congratulations. What amazing news
Thank you. I honestly couldn’t believe it. Just hope they have doubled again come tomorrow x
How are your numbers? Hope you’re good! X
Morning, I am doing okay thank you. How are you feeling today?
Thank you for asking. My HCG had doubled again yesterday. Which is fantastic. Having them repeated agai this Thursday then a week later the following Thursday so trying to just relax and enjoy it a little now xx
Oh that is such amazing news well done! I’m so pleased it’s all going in the right direction.
I am ok, finding the wait harder as it goes on! Also trying to relax xx
Sending you all the luck ❤️ We had ours on friday its been a very long 4 days but we keep moving with everything crossed. Remember to keep yourself busy, drink plenty of fluids and look after yourself x
Thank you so much. Hope you’re applying self care too. I’m generally busy all day everyday tbh but no matter what Iv got on this period always seems like time is stood still. Have you got anything nice planned in your TWW? Sending lots of luck and sticky dust your way too xx
• in reply toCandle89
@candle89 when’s your test date? How are you feeling x
Candle89• in reply to
How are you feeling?
Test date is 7th ... feels like forever away. But we will get there slowly.
xx
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 I will ok to be honest xxx I breezed through my pregnancy with little sickness etc so I’m hoping for the same this time
When was your transfer? Are you Uk based?
Candle89• in reply to
Friday 23rd, so we test this tuesday.... nerves are an under statement.
Yes london based.
How are you ?
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 hi
Im based in Manchester …
Have you been tempted to test before Tuesday 😂
Fingers crossed for you for Tuesday xxx
How are you feeling x
Hope you are okay. Is your test date the 7th or Tuesday?
Yes the 7th I keep considering doing an earlier one but I’ve promised myself I won’t!!!
We test the same day. Hope your feeling okay and this wait isn’t driving you crazy x
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 hey how are you? Not long till your test date? How are you feeling. Have you been tempted to test early? X
Candle89• in reply to
Im going insane 
the wait is unbearable!!! But holding on until tomorrow!!!! I find myself looking into every tingle or feeling I have and not really sure how I feel.
How are you? xx
I’m pretty much the same. Had the most restless night ever last night and just heading to work now. Iv given up with the symptoms, still feeling every slight twinge but quickly distract myself immediately so I’m not second guessing what is happening or what it means. Are you planning on testing early then tomorrow. That’s the one thing I’m trying to do differently this time round. I like the idea of knowing sooner. But if negative still have to prolong the agony & meds etc until beta.
Have you got anything on today? X
Its just trying to keep your brain busy when all you have probably thought about for the last few years is IVF. I think I also have to stop myself comparing twinges or how I feel to our first failed embryo transfer.
Yes I have to get up early for work so will be early doors so guessing wont sleep well tonight i was up at 5am prepping a stew due to not being able to sleep.
Your testing tomorrow too arent you ?
Wishing you all the luck in the world with your test ❤️xx
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 wishing you all the luck in the world x
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 not long to wait if you’re going to test tomorrow then. I’m ok thanks. I’ve got my first scan on Thursday afternoon so I’m in the same boat as you. Wishing the time away 😂
MiniMe23• in reply to
I’ll be thinking of you onThursday.
Is your appointment morning or afternoon. We probably won’t sleep much Wednesday night I’m betting xx
Candle89• in reply to
How exciting!! Everything crossed for you ❤️
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 i’ve had no signs to say that nothings gone wrong so I’m feeling quite positive and the tests are getting stronger and stronger. I’ve done quite a few LOL
• in reply to
Candle89 The bottom one is from today. From this morning, so Fingers crossed x

MiniMe23• in reply to
Congratulations Again! Those tests look amazing. So glad you’re feeling positive I’d feel the same with such dark test lines. I bet your so excited now xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
Yes we are excited but still nervous / hoping for the best
MiniMe23• in reply to
Well you’re definitely off to a positive start. Wishing you all the best. Please let us know how it goes if we don’t speak before then xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 Will do it’s on Thursday afternoon at 2.30
I’ve had one tiny bit of blood today but I’ve been to see a fertility acupuncturist today and she said it’s nothing to worry about and she thinks all is absolutely fine. She actually said from my pulse and the way my bodies reacting she thinks both embryos are still doing great! So let’s see.
MiniMe23• in reply to
That’s brilliant and also reassuring as the smallest sign of blood is usually enough to send anyone into a spiral of panic.
Have you been having regular acupuncture throughout this pregnancy? X
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 yeah I was slightly worried but she really reassured me. I’ve been going to this woman about 6 weeks x
• in reply toCandle89
do you let me know how you get on tomorrow with your test? @candle89
Candle89• in reply to
I will. Thankyou xx
And good luck for tomorrow Candle89
Iv got everything crossed for you. Hope you manage to get some rest tonight x
Candle89• in reply to
We got our positive ♥️♥️ the happiness and love I have for my body right now xxx
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg! Congratulations 🙌🏽
I am so happy for you. Here’s wishing you a happy healthy and successful pregnancy ahead.
My smile right now is ear to ear for you so I can only imagine how you are feeling. Sending lots of love and virtual hugs xxx
I’m now hoping your positive outcome has a ripple effect across this thread and everyone else has the same happy ending. How are you feeling? I imagine it will take a while to sink in xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 when is your test date xxx
MiniMe23• in reply to
Thursday 7th I the morning. Same day you have your scan x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 not long to wait
How are you feeling? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
I’m okay and definitely feeling better than yesterday. Been in boots and Superdrug this morning and walked straight past the tests not even tempted to buy or test early. How are you feeling? X
• in reply toMiniMe23
Wow very impressed with your will power 😂
I am honestly absolutely shattered to be honest 😩
Have zero energy 😫
MiniMe23• in reply to
I don’t know where I’m getting the energy from. But I’m determined to occupy my mind no matter what. I have never got to OTD without caving early. So I’m pretty pleased with myself on that one.
Keep busy today. School run then gymnastics. Work tomorrow followed by vets then dancing, nice tea, shower and bed so I can get the school run out of the way and head in for bloods xx
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 amazing amazing amazing news! Congratulations
How are you feeling? Did you know in your gut? I did xxx
Candle89• in reply to
No I didn’t I think I was second guessing myself as I had like niggles here and there but I did think am I looking into stuff too much. But honestly cloud 9 today xx
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 Amazing news congratulations
you’ve got to wait till Thursday to phone clinic to book scan? X
Candle89• in reply to
I spoke to the nurses today. Scan is all booked for 28th! 🙂
Not long until your scan now !! Xx.
For me this next wait always seems harder than the one you’ve just endured. But at least you’re in your little BFP bubble. So hopefully you can enjoy this next little chapter knowing you’re little emby is all cosy and settled in their new home xx
❤️
💯 as I can’t fully relax! I’m loving my little bubble don’t get me wrong just want to hear that little heart beat ♥️
How are you feeling about Thursday xx
I bet you can’t. I’m feeling okay, Iv had a few little doubts due to some symptoms yesterday if I'm honest. But on the whole I’m definitely more positive than negative. Either way, Thursday can’t come soon enough xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 fingers crossed for you x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 how are you today? Xxx
MiniMe23• in reply to
Hi, I’m not too bad thanks. Still had lots of symptoms last night & today. But most have completely subsided now or just frequent in waves. I would be due on, on Friday 8th and at times Iv felt AF was due although the pains/cramps were in different places to AF.
So who truly knows what is going on in there. Either way at least I will know tomorrow. How about you. How are you feeling, bet your excited for your scan tomorrow xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 they definitely come in waves don’t they. I had terrible AF like cramps when pregnant with my daughter.
I’m all good thanks
MiniMe23• in reply to
Do you remember if you had them leading up to OTD or even after you got your BFP? Iv had my test now and done all I could possibly do to give this little one a chance. So fingers crossed 🤞🏽 x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 hi yes
Implantation cramps
I found them reassuring
They used to wake me up at nighT
Arent you doing a pee on a stick test? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
I’m really hoping that’s what they are as they started 4/5dpt therefore early to be AF. And I took all my tests to my office so I wouldn’t be tempted to test. Iv had the bloods done and just waiting on my results coming back. Iv really surprised myself with the the self discipline to test early this time. Iv never waited to OTD. But now it’s here even if I had one to hand I’d be apprehensive to pre on the stick. In case it’s stark white. Crazy isn’t it. You panick over no symptoms but have symptoms and still don’t feel reassured in the slightest.
How was your scan today anyway? Everything positive xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 when will you get results back?
Yep all good at scan ❤️
MiniMe23• in reply to
Supposed to be anytime after 1 as they are sent away and not tested on site. First 2 I got the call by 1:30. Last FET delay meant I was chasing them up at 4:30 and ended up having to wait until the following afternoon which wasn’t ideal. Really hope that’s not the case today. If so I might have to nip to boots and pee in a stick after all xx
When will your next scan be now. Did they tell you x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 Aww cool not long to wait then. Next scan is 12 week one. But I’ll more than likely go for a 10 week one and take my daughter and buy her a heartbeat teddy thing xx
MiniMe23• in reply to
Aww that will be lovely. I’ve played over so many ideas and ways of surprising my daughter too x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 is she 7 ish? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
Yes she’s 7. How old is your daughter? X
Got my results and it’s BFP 💜🙏🏽
However my levels were lower than expected so have to have my bloods done again in 48 hours to check everything is progressing as it should. I am happy but don’t feel I can enjoy the moment with all the uncertainty. Hoping and praying this little one is a fighter and was just late to implant xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
@minime23 yay I remembered still will be 2 middle of June. 2 years 3.5 months when the new baby arrives x
MiniMe23• in reply to
That’s lovely. She will love the bear. I really wish I hadn’t left such a big age gap. Although it wasn’t within my control later on xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
I honestly think it wil be a lovely gap xx do you have a girl or a boy? X MiniMe23
MiniMe23• in reply to
I have a girl. And she has pestered me for a sibling for the longest time. And would really like either but a little sister if she could choose. She’s a real little mother hen so I know she will be amazing. I’m just hoping and praying HCG is slow to rise. And everything works out. As Iv never had the best luck regarding pregnancy or fertility. But got everything crossed and hoping and praying for increased results.
Working today 8:30-7. Hopefully it’s a distraction and stops me worrying xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
Heyyy @minime23 what do you mean slow to rise? Xx sorry if I sound stupid but I don’t know what you mean x
MiniMe23• in reply to
Hi, don’t be sorry. My blood hcg level was on the low side and apparently under the clinic’s threshold of 80. They wouldn’t say what my exact number was. But that sometimes they require a second blood test 48 hours apart. To ensure it’s doubling and not decreasing. What they mean is they want to check viability and rule out it being chemical or another ectopic.
Now just waiting hoping and praying x
🤞🏽❤️🙏🏽
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 Ah ok I understand sorry I missed this message. I’m hoping for you too x
MiniMe23• in reply to
It’s fine honestly. But thank you xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 will they contact you early next week or how long will it take? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
I have to be in at before 10 am as blood work gets collected at 11 & 3 everyday. Not sure about Saturday protocol but hoping I’ll get a call tomorrow tea time with the results. I will ask the question in the morning just to clarify. I’m also going to see if any consultant is free to do a quick internal scan. As I’m trying hard to stay positive but am also worried about a second ectopic. As my last one almost killed me and I was in hospital over 2 weeks. So that possibility is making me anxious. And just knowing it’s in a safe location would give me so much peace of mind.
How are you today? Xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23
One of my best friends had an ectpoic. Really scary indeed. Are you in a lot of pain? X
Yes I agree push for scan xxx
have you tried a normal wee on a stick test? Xxx sorry if that’s a silly thing to say just wondering x
MiniMe23• in reply to
Morning, and not a silly thing at all I did actually bring mine back from work.
Re Ectopic, yes they are very scary. My last one ruptured multiple times and I was found unconscious and woke up in hospital 2 days later. That’s why I’m so worried. Plus with the clinic saying my levels were slightly low. Iv done 2 hpt’s so far. They are positive but the test line is fairly light which you’d expect with a low level. So not much of a comfort or definitive answer. But I suppose the initial HCG isn’t really the issue. It’s todays result that matters as today we can compare to see how fast it’s rising x
Hoping & Praying 🙏🏽💜🤞🏽
• in reply toMiniMe23
Hi how’s it going? MiniMe23 xxx
MiniMe23• in reply to
Hi, hope your doing okay!
Thanks for checking in. I’m pleased to say my first retest has doubled. Retesting again on Monday now and every 48 hour’s until the consultant is happy with the progression. But thankfully everything is moving in the right direction. I’m currently 4+2 today and have been offered an early scan for peace of mind at 5+5 just to check the location.
Everything crossed that this little one is comfortable xx
💜
• in reply toMiniMe23
That is amazing news!!!!!! Sounds fantastic
Sounds a very thorough process and clinic which is good
I’m based in Manchester and I don’t think the process is as thorough here… where are you based?
I think I’ve been completely signed off by my clinic now after an early scan I need to check but pretty sure I just follow the nhs standard process now. I’d love another scan through them though if possible x 😂
MiniMe23• in reply to
Thank you. We are based in Birmingham. I do think they are helpful and thorough but I do think a lot is due to me pushing and my previous history. As when I initially started I had my consultant gasping and 2 nurses in tears. Thankfully they are very empathetic to mine and other’s situations. But I was very pleased to be told yesterday that after the standard 3 re checks. If I’m not reassured I can let them know and they’ll continue, maybe reducing to weekly. And I’m not being charged any additional for these bloods either. Hopefully when I’m transferred to NHS I will continue with additional monitoring too as for me there is no safe gestation.
I’d contact your clinic and explain that you’re anxious and see if they can give you one final scan before signing you off. Can’t hurt to ask either way. How far are you exactly? xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23
Yes I can imagine it’s been very scary for you. Not an easy thing to go through at all .
7 weeks 2 days xxxx I’m going to ask. Like you said no harm in asking xxx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 how are things? Xxx.
MiniMe23• in reply to
I’m doing okay thank you. Just picked my private prescription up this afternoon and ordered my next lot of medication. Wishing tomorrow away so I can get my bloods checked again Thursday. How have you been? xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 This will be our lives now won’t it LOL wishing our lives away
I’m okay, thanks the anxiety is literally crippling me though
I’ve lost my symptoms so really worried I’m a bit unsure what to do to be fair
MiniMe23• in reply to
lol I know what you mean. Waiting for test day, then scan day followed by more waiting and worrying. I’m not sure there’s a point it will get or feel any easier at this point. My symptoms came and went in my last pregnancy and consultant always said that’s completely normal. So try not to worry too much about symptoms. As obvious as it sounds. Keeping busy is really the best medication for anxiety such as this xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 yep that’s how I feel my anxiety is way worse this time round. I don’t remember this with my daughter
Ive actually been to the early pregnancy unit this evening and they told me not to worry. Took my bloods but told me not too worry
I’ll get the results in the morning
They’ve booked me in for an early scan on Thursday morning because I said I was really anxious
I wish I could just relax lol
MiniMe23• in reply to
The anxiety is off the scale. Really hope it subsides soon. But always best to get checked. Do you feel reassured a little now? Good they have taken your bloods and offered a scan too. I was thinking of going to my EPU following my clinic scan too for extra checks and reassurance as I had them with my last daughter. And the extra checks honestly made all the difference. Let me know how your bloods went when they update you. Fingers crossed it’s nothing to worry about xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
I’m 8 weeks on Saturday and they were 32000 so completely normal. I’ve got a scan tomorrow at 9am
I really really need to relax
So when is your next scan? / next step? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
That’s brilliant. I’m back in for bloods tomorrow and then again the following Thursday. I’m going to book my scan tomorrow when I go in. They did mention the possibility of scanning next Thursday when they repeat bloods. But I’ll be 6 weeks then. So would rather they scan me on Tuesday at 5+4. Just to confirm location and try to ease my anxiety. Woke up at 4 am today with a really queasy stomach. And low down stomach and pelvic pain. Could be something and nothing but it’s scared me to death and I wasn’t doing too bad before hand. Iv got to go to work shortly and can’t not go in as Iv got a high workload today. However my anxiety has sky rocketed, I’m now fearing the worst and my mind definitely won’t be on the job.
Tomorrow honestly can’t come soon enough xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
I am really sorry to hear that your anxiety is similar to mine. It’s really not easy is it. They are pretty quick with coming back about the blood results aren’t they which is good. So I’m getting you will know tomorrow/Friday? I think the pain could be a good sign to be honest. Implantation cramps or something like that? I have started bleeding which obviously is very worrying. We are in the same boat. I’ve got another scan tomorrow at 10 xxx fingers crossed for both of us hey
MiniMe23• in reply to
It’s not easy at all is it. If felt shocking today. I’m not even sure how I made it through work. Roll on tomorrow when I’ll get a little bit of reassurance hopefully. My bloods are always done first thing and collected at 11. So results are usually back same day before 4pm. I’m honestly so tired, I feel like I’m running on empty. And the nausea and sickness have been horrendous today. Really hoping I manage to get some sleep and we both get good news tomorrow. I’ll have everything crossed as tightly as I can for us both. I’ll be contacting my gp tomorrow I think to refer through the EPU as at least I’ll have them for concerns and reassurance if needed xx
Sending lots of love for tomorrow ❤️

Morning, just wanted to see how you were doing today. Hope you managed to get some rest.
I actually managed to get some sleep last night and not spring out of bed before 5am. Just had my bloods repeated. So now just waiting again and fingers crossed all is well. Also early scan booked for next Tuesday 19th xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 heyyyy how’s it going?
Thats good about scan and bloods ❤️ will you find out today?
All good at my scan… I need to stop torturing myself now! It’s getting silly
They’ve said there’s no reason to scan me until 12 weeks everything is perfect. I’m 8 weeks tomorrow
I need to chill and relax x
Im guessing the bleeding was one of the embryos not ikk not implanting im guessing (i had two put in)
Im going to relax now
Ive been up since 4am worrying too
Silly of me
How are you now? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
Hi, I’m okay thank you. Felt a lot better today. The pains and sickness yesterday were unbearable & I felt so ill. So I went back to bed today after the school run & bloods. I definitely needed it and managed a few hours sleep. Brilliant news about your scan. ❤️
You just need to try and relax now where possible (easier said than done I know). Was there one heartbeat at your scan then? If so your probably right and that may explain the slight bleeding.
Hopefully there’s no more now, I’m just glad everything is looking as it should for you.
My bloods have settled my nerves a little now. Thankfully! 💜
So I also need to try and take my own advice. They were last done Monday 11th so Iv gone a day over the 48 hours. My result today has more than quadrupled and is slightly higher than the expected level had I tested Monday Wednesday and tomorrow with exactly 48hours between each. Which was nice to hear. Now I can’t wait until Tuesday (I’m constantly wishing time away lol). Heartbeat may or may not be visible then as I’ll be 5+5 but at least I’ll know then if it’s in the right location which is one more thing less to worry about. But according to my bloods it’s not looking like an issue. Seems mine was just a little late to implant after all. Xx
❤️

Morning
Had an awful night with my daughter … feel half dead 😵
How are you doing today?
Yes there’s been a heart beat at both scans
How’s your pain today? Better I hope x
That’s amazing news about bloods things are definitely moving in the right direction ❤️
So Tuesday is your next scan date? Hope it will fly for you
Not long to wait xx
• in reply toCandle89
Candle89 I know exactly how you feel xxx I’m sure all will be okay

Candle89 yep only a couple of days to wait feeling positive. X

Candle89 The fatigue is crazy isn’t it!
All good at scan ❤️ just got to ordered the rest of my drugs to get me to 12 weeks
£400 worth xxx
Candle89• in reply to
ohhhhhhh this is lovely news ♥️ bet it was the best hearing the heart beat xxx
MiniMe23• in reply to
Glad the scan went well. It’s always a magical moment. And the medication is so expensive but a small price to pay after everything leading up to this point xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 Of course xx the money isn’t the main thing at all… we would do anything for this for sure x
MiniMe23• in reply to
I completely agree. Iv just had to order another prescription as I I was running out and also need to continue hopefully if positive. Although I’ll be medicated up until 16 weeks then reviewed according to my consultant. I hate the side effects but would take them indefinitely if it meant I got to give birth again xx
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 what side effects do you have? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
Iv had a mixture of everything from 4/5dpt. Sore tingling boobs, waves of nausea, lower back pain, dull aching abdominal pains, stabbing pains central and to one side and feeling that AF was ready to show. The pains do come and go though and are not as low down as period pains. As I suffer horrendously with mine.
Also 2 periods of loose bowel movements sorry (tmi). For me it was the boobs and nausea that made me feel positive and able to hold of testing x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 this all sounds really really really good xx when will you get results back x
I had my FET yesterday! All went smoothly- now just trying to not read into every symptom. Trying to stay positive and hopeful, whilst also trying to protect myself and think realistically!
Hard isn’t it. When even subconsciously your scrutinising ever my flutter or twinge.
When is your official test date? And do your clinic do bloods or will you be testing at home? x
OTD is 8th March, so least it’s not too long to wait, just need to keep myself busy!! I have to go to the hospital for a blood test on the morning, then get a call from the clinic in the afternoon with the result. How about you? x
We’re really close then. Only a day apart for both. My bloods are booked in for the 7th March in the morning, I should then receive a call by 3pm. Trying to keep myself busy, I work full time and have a 7 year old. So you’d think it wouldn’t be that difficult. But miraculously I still find time to worry and read into every little detail. Although I’m hoping to be slightly better this time. And also not to test early as I caved in my last one xx
Morning,
Just wanted to wish you luck for your test today. Hope you get the outcome you want. Sending lots of love and positivity xx
Aw thank you so much! Had the blood test this morning and waiting for the call, this might be worse than the last 2 weeks combined!
Have you had your results back yet? xx
Hopefully you’ll get good nee soon enough. Mine kept me waiting until almost close of play. I was seconds from ringing them. Thankfully I got my BFP. But HCG levels are on the low side so having to have bloods repeatedly every 48 hours. So still patiently waiting and silently praying all is actually well xx
Fingers crossed you get your BFP x
❤️🤞🏽
How are you doing today? x
Sorry for the delay getting back to you since last week. We got our BFP on Friday, still hasn't sunk in and I feel completely normal in myself! How are you? Are your HCG levels rising? x
Congratulations! That’s amazing news. I am so happy for you. I’m doing okay thank you. HCG has doubled then more than doubled after each 48 hours. So I’m now trying to relax and enjoy the fact that I am pregnant again after so long. Having them repeated Thursday now after another 72 hours. So fingers crossed xx
❤️
Oh wow that’s amazing, what a relief! Massive congratulations! Its so weird though isn’t, I feel a bit like ‘so now what do I do?’ 😂 x
🤣
I get you complete. I feel a bit like that most days especially when I wake up and remember it’s actually happening x
• in reply to8396perkins
8396perkins I had zero symptoms and a positive test so I tortured myself for 2 weeks then got a positive test anyway! 😂 good luck x
Hi MiniMe23, I'm in my TWW - OTD is Friday 8th. Wishing you loads of luck x
Thank you and you too. Lots of luck and baby dust. My blood test is Thursday 7th. How are you feeling at the minute.? And when did you transfer? x
I have an at home test to do. We transferred Thursday 22nd. I'm feeling fine at the moment. I'm usually OK for the first week to 10 days though so will see how I feel at the weekend! I've had not much by way of symptoms. Headache the first 24-48 hours but that's caused by sedatives I take for transfer. A few minor cramps and twinges but nothing to write home about. Sore boobs. Crazy dreams. The odd night sweat. All just adjusting to the drugs again I think and all calming down now. How are you? x
I’m not too bad to be honest. I’m very much get on with things and what will be will be. Symptom wise leading up to transfer this time just bloating, nausea and headaches from hell. But it’s all settled down for the most part x
That's good. I didn't have much on the run up at all, it is just since I started the lubion last Thursday I've been feeling it but nothing serious and nothing too bad! Yes I think that's the best approach. You can't change the outcome so no point fretting about it - I know that will change the second I see any spotting though! Fingers crossed for us both! xx
Definitely got everything crossed for the both of us. And everyone else soldiering on through this journey. I was only on lubion every other day last time. But this time I’m taking it daily so maybe that’s why Iv seen an increase in certain symptoms x
Yeah the lubion isn't particularly pleasant side effect wise! It is also sore - I'm already struggling for spots to inject!
Same. I’m a side sleeper too and toss and turn a bit and have been waking myself up when I turn onto my injected side. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 it will all be worth it x
I my fresh transfer yesterday (27th Feb). First cycle and 1 early blastocyst transferred. 4 others were being left to grow one more day and then will be frozen. All five that fertilized made it to day 5 so that’s positive. OTD is 9th March. Hoping the time passes by quickly! Luckily work will be busy so I stay off google! Good luck with yours!
Official transfer buddy! (I’m 27th too) although my test date is just before yours. Glad you’ve got work to occupy you during the wait. Do you have anything else nice planned other than work to help take your mind of ?
Sending you lots of luck and baby dust x
Hi Roisin, sorry Iv not been as active on here. Just wanted to see how your test went and how you were doing? x
We had our first fresh transfer on Saturday 24th, so 4dpt now. My OTD is 9th March. Best of luck 💓
Hi Laura, not too far ahead of me. Looks like there’s a few of us testing around the same time 7-9th. Sending you lots of luck for the remainder of your TWW and all the best for test day x
Hi Laura, just checking in to see how you got on and how you are doing. Hope you are okay x
Hello, that’s so kind thanks for checking in 💓 we got our BFP on 3 March and then officially on 9 March. I’m over the moon but also very anxious! I can see you also got a positive, congratulations! 🥳 I hope everything is going well x
Thank you and huge congratulations to you too. That’s brilliant news. So much positivity today on this thread as I hadn’t heard from a few people. I had a worrying start, and have a very worrying pregnancy history. But after repeated HCG’s I’m now trying to relax more. And fill myself with even more positivity than I did pre transfer.
Will this be your first x
❤️ 🌈
That’s great news! It is a time to be enjoyed although it can be hard 💓 Yes this will be our first. What about you?
I agree. Your happy but anxious at the same time so can’t enjoy it the same as others often do. This will be my 4th.
2nd earth baby as I have a 7 year old daughter too and was desperate to give her a sibling. And 2 angel babies I also birthed. So I’m really thankful it worked this time x
hey MiniMe23
I had a double transfer on 9th feb so similar
Wishing you all the luck in the world 🌍
MiniMe23• in reply to
That’s brilliant. Sending you lots of luck too! I was originally supposed to be having a double transfer. But doctors changed their mind around a week before so I was slightly disappointed. But forged ahead anyway. How are you feeling input everything and the hopeful prospect of multiples? x
MiniMe23 hi well I’ve had some positive tests so feeling super confident to be honest. Got my first early scan a week tomorrow ❤️ we’ve always got a 20 month old little girl. Twins would be great but we’re over the moon with anything to be fair. How are you feeling? X
MiniMe23• in reply to
I’m feeling fine. Not too much in the way of symptoms just the odd twinge here and there. Congratulations on your positive. That’s amazing. Everything crossed for your scan now. I like you have another child. Slightly older at 7 but I’m feeling optimistic. I only wish I hadn’t let the age gap grow so much. And I was all geared up for twins in my head as I had a previous loss of twins some years ago. And my 7 year old had a twin (vanishing) initially. Both were natural conception previously. Iv also had failed transfers too, but I’m feeling hopeful. And one more frostie left after this one x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 I wouldn’t worry about the age gap. I think it’s a lovely age gap. I’ve got friends you’ve got a similar age gap xxx
• in reply to
MiniMe23 i’m feeling very confident about the scan I feel exactly how I did when I had my daughter, so fingers crossed xxx i’ve got a lot of friends who are trying to get pregnant/just recently got pregnant, so I’m thinking of all the positive things I say to them and keep saying them to myself 😂
MiniMe23• in reply to
Glad your so confident & That’s good keeping yourself positive. Iv had similar with lots of friends trying or announcing pregnancies. Most recently my cousin sent her scan and pregnancy announcement yesterday as I was awaiting transfer. And she told the kids today so I told my little one who’s got mixed emotions and ended up in tears questioning why I haven’t had another one. I felt awful and really hoping I can surprise her with some good news some day soon x
• in reply toMiniMe23
MiniMe23 I have definitely had my up-and-down moments, believe you me xxx But in general, I try and be positive, yeah. Fingers crossed xxx Do you have many plans over the next couple of weeks to keep yourself busy?
MiniMe23• in reply to
I guess ups and downs are all part of this rollercoaster we’re on. And not particularly I’m working at least 4 days this week and next with lots of after school clubs. So I’m the odd occasion I’m free I plan to just catch up with friends and go for a few meals lately. I did have Thai/Swedish massage booked for tomorrow that was booked way back. But it’s not really recommended so may get my nails or something done instead. How about you? X
Morning!
Just to wish you all a lovely day filled with positive energy. Whatever you have planned x
🩷
Same to you! Hope you are feeling well today and wishing you (and everyone else on this thread) a day full of positive distractions! 🤞
Thank you. You too xx
I had my transfer yesterday (27th) too. Best of luck to you!!!
Thank you. Wishing you all the luck in the world too and a speedy TWW x
Is your test date the 7th too x
No, mine is the 12th!!! A full two weeks. I never listen and will do an early test on Thursday morning. I did an early detection test last time and felt better thinking it had failed than being in limbo. I struggle with the not knowing and even if the result is wrong I know I can handle that more than just waiting around for a full fortnight. At the moment I still have no symptoms whatsoever and I’m so so bored!
Oh wow in comparison that seems ages away. I’m not surprised that you plan to test early. It amazes me how the timescale differs so much from clinic to clinic. It’s crazy and you’d think they’d fall in line if day 9/10 is also long enough to give accurate results.
No symptoms is not a bad sign though. Plenty without still get BFP. We’ll be testing the same day then.
Here’s hoping this transfer is lucky for both of us x ✨
Also did you manage to get through to your Clint the other day regarding your progesterone levels? And were they okay? x
Yeah it’s super long compared to pretty much everyone else. It is a day 5 blastocyst too and no trigger shot this time so I don’t see how you would get a false positive unless it was a chemical. I got the results back and it was 142.7, I didn’t actually speak to a person but apparently this is fine 🤷🏻♀️. I keep telling myself “many people don’t get symptoms”. Last time I had insane cramps on day three in the night and started spotting on day 5 but it was a fully red bleed not a pale one. So I guess nothing is better than a repeat of that! How are you today?
Definitely better than comparing to a previous failed transfer. And I’m sure my clinic said anything over 100 was excellent. Although I personally don’t know my level at the time of transfer so I’m just hoping for the best. I’m okay today tbh. Had a decent sleep. Woke up early still with low down dull ache. But telling myself ivf is the worst for playing mind games. And just keep moving. I’m optimistic that Thursday will be here before we know it though.
Was planning to go out somewhere today. But it’s absolutely torrential outside. So think I’ll be staying put x
Let’s hope the low ache is your blastocyst nestling in nice and deep!! Did you have any of these pains pre-transfer? The weather is atrocious. It’s been like this for days In London. It’s meant to clear a bit in the afternoon 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
No can’t say I really had anything prior to transfer. Just the obvious uncomfort from an overfilled bladder. But I’m hoping it’s exactly what you said.
Regarding the weather. So much for spring. I’m just glad I took the dog out first thing. As she hates the rain. And will literally hold her wee rather than go outside to the toilet lol 😂
It’s looking like a comfy day at home here xx
Bless her!! Best of luck to you over the coming days and for test day (if we don’t speak before then) x
Thanks! Same to you too. Hoping the weather in London picks up too. Take care and hope you have a nice weekend xx
Hi 👋 Our test day is the 12th too xx 🤞🤞
Welcome BabyBearx!
The 12 is fast approaching. Hope you’re baring up okay. Wishing you lots of luck for the 12th along with Here4ivfinfo x
Thanks so much for your reply 🩷 Feeling quite positive atm. Hope you’re doing ok? And best of luck to you too 🍀👶🏻🩷🩵 xx
Aww thank you 💙💖
Glad you’re feeling positive. I’m just taking things one day at a time. But staying positive too. Did you have single or double transfer? And have you had any symptoms so far? xx
Congratulations on your fantastic news!!! 🩷🩷 We had a single transfer, my boobs are sore and I’ve had some cramping and a random nose bleed the other day, but I feel like I don’t want to build my hopes up just in case. Finding it really difficult not to test now, our test day is on Tuesday xx
Thank you. It’s very early days and I’ll need repeated blood tests every 48 hours but I’m trying to stay positive. Just really want to rule out an ectopic at the very least.
I had all those symptoms very early on too. Fingers crossed they are all good signs and your little emby is getting nice and comfy xx
Just wanted to wish you luck for your test today xx
🤞🏽✨💙🩷
Thank you so much ☺️ We tested positive this morning! YEY!! I still can’t believe it! Xx
Wow that’s brilliant. Congratulations
❤️🌈 I bet you’re over the moon. Did you test at home or at your clinic? X
I had my transfer Monday 26th, so in the wait now🙂x
I had mine on Monday too. The wait now is hard. Good luck. How are you feeling?? 😌
Feeling ok thanks other than a bit bloated from the progesterone. How are you feeling? Good luck to you too.x
Ah yes, I’m feeling the bloating too and I’m constantly tired. Boobs are sore too. Hoping this 2ww goes quickly for us both ☺️. Sending lots of positivity your way x
Do you think you'll hold off the whole two weeks without testing?x
On my previous FET I tested 1 day early because it was my birthday on the day I was supposed to test and if it was negative I didn’t want to find out on my birthday. Sadly it was negative. This time I’m going to hold off and wait the full 2 weeks even though it’ll be a long wait. What about you? Xx
I'd like to think I will hold off, but honestly don't know if I will. Turns out my test day is mother's day, so not sure how I feel about that. X
Hi, hope you are okay? Just wanted to check in and see how you were doing x
Thanks for checking in. Im not too good as I received my BFN on Sunday. Really struggling to come to terms with it this time and decided to take some time off work. Thinking about having a break from everything and when I’m ready we will go again. We’ve got two frozen embryos left. Hope you’re ok and bloods have come back ok? Xx
I am so sorry to hear these. Getting a negative result is always such a huge devastating blow after every ounce of effort we put into these gruelling cycles. Sending you a virtual hug, love & strength as you navigate through this tough period. Be kind to yourself I’m sure whatever steps you take will be right for you. And sometimes a little time out is just what’s needed.
I truly hope your happy ending and BFP are in your near future and hopefully from your 2 little frosties.
Wishing you all the best for the future and do update us in the future xx
❤️❤️❤️
How are you feeling today? And when is your official test date?
Not having a good day today. Just feeling quite negative and my symptoms have reduced/stopped so just feeling a bit deflected. My test date is Monday 11th March. How about you? How are you doing?? Xx
Sorry to hear you didn’t have a good day yesterday and for the late reply.
How are you feeling today? Better I hope! I am much the same. Taking every day as it comes and determine not to test early this time. Symptom wise Iv had a few that also come and go. But not reading into them too much. As are they really even real or side effects of the meds. So don’t be too hard on yourself many people get BFP having had no symptoms whatsoever, so we’re all definitely firmly in the race.
Do you have anything nice planned for today to occupy you?
And o the plus side we’ve all survived the weekend and are closer to our test days and hopefully success x 🤞🏽 ❤️
Thank you for your message. Feeling a bit better today thanks. It’s very much a rollercoaster this journey isn’t it. Well done, when is your test date??
Im also trying not to read too much into symptoms as I know it can be the meds. Although, I had a failed FET before Christmas and had no symptoms following the transfer so when I get any symptoms now it’s hard not to get ahead of myself.
The sun has finally made an appearance today so I’m hoping to get out for a walk. It makes such a difference when the weathers nice don’t you think?? What about you?? Any plans?
Thank you. Sending lots of positivity your way. One step closer 🥰 xx
Hi, glad you’re feeling a bit better than yesterday. It definitely is a rollercoaster we’re on and a pretty brutal one at that. That’s why it’s important to be kind to yourself. My test date is Thursday.
And I’m doing okay at the minute. Just a bit sore. I was up at the crack of dawn this morning. Which is typical as it’s the only other day I could have had a lie in. But hey ho, it’s definitely been a busy one. Out with the dog at 8, then a big food shop. Followed by swimming for my DC and currently slaving away making Sunday dinner.
Back to work first thing do not much time for overthinking at the minute. So sorry to hear about your failed cycle. I had a failed then too. And to be honest Iv never had success following any transfer. Yet one I had all the symptoms and the others absolutely nothing. And all were BFN, that’s why as much as we can’t help but take notice of o what our bodies are doing you can’t really read into anything in the TWW.
How’s your week looking, working resting or any nice plans? Easier said than done but try not to worry too much. Be kind to yourself and I’m sending lots of love positive energy and baby dust your way xx
❤️✨✨✨❤️
Hi 👋 Our test day is Tuesday 12th. Are you finding it hard to not do a test too 🙈🙈 xx
Hello 😌. It hasn’t been too bad up until the last few days. Today I really had the urge to test following some light brown spotting but I’m trying my hardest to hold out. How are you feeling? Are you going to wait until Tuesday 12th to do your test? 😊 x
Sorry you’ve had some spotting.
Easier said than done I know. But try to stay positive. Light brown spotting is often a positive sign. Or could be old blood from pessaries or even transfer as both can cause irritation x
Thanks. I guess only time will tell. I’m just hoping it’s one of those you’ve mentioned and not a sign that it’s failed. Congratulations to you on your BFP btw. I hope you’re feeling ok xxx
Well I have everything crossed it’s a positive outcome. And thank you. I’m okay, but I will feel better today once I have my repeated bloods done. But like you I’m remaining positive. Take care for now xx
I’m the same, been fine until today but luckily we didn’t have any in the house. Yeah I will wait until Tuesday I think but it’s going to take will power.. I kind of feel testing early will prepare me for Tuesday but I know that’s silly. Do you think you will wait? Xx
Yeah I know what you mean, I was thinking that if I test today and it’s negative it gives me a few days to prepare for Monday which is my official test date. I’m really not sure. I might test on Sunday but then it’s Mother’s Day and I don’t know if that’s a good idea either. Sending lots of positivity your way. I hope the next few days go quickly for you xx
Hope you’re feeling well. Sending you lots of luck x
Hi, just wondered how you got on. Hope your okay xx
Hi, Yeah I got a positive test on Sunday 🙂 still in shock because I though it hadn't worked.x
Congratulations ❤️
Amazing news yet again. So happy for you. How are you feeling now? X
Thanks. Congratulations to you too. Feel ok, just a bit of nausea every now and again. How are you doing?x
I transferred fresh the same day
Sending lots of luck. Our little TWW group is rapidly growing. Here’s hoping there’s lots of contagious sticky baby dust amongst this thread x
When is your OTD?
March 8th
That’s close then. How are you feeling?
Nervous but feeling mostly okay. Have progesterone supplement side effects but nothing too bad. What about you?
I have a few mild symptoms. Nothing unbearable. But fully aware they are also side effects of medication. Very bloated and always tired. But less nervous this time round and just trying to remain positive and keep myself busy one day at a time x
This is my first time and I didn't get anymore embryos. But honestly I would say I'm not doing too bad with anxiety, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have any. Hope the best for both of us and all the others on the thread.
Definitely understand what you mean.
Positive vibes and baby dust to us all ✨
Morning,
Just wanted to wish you luck for your test today. Hope you get the outcome you want. Sending lots of love and positivity xx
Thank you. How did your test go?
Mine was BFP. But my HCG levels were on the low side. I’m back in the clinic for repeat blood’s tomorrow which will be 48 hours later. Really hoping they have doubled or more and I just had a late implanter.
Have you tested yet?
What was your Hcg?I got a positive at 101 yesterday.
Had some spotting today. Worried. So I took pink line test and it was light so I'm a little scared.
Hi, congratulations on your BFP. 101 is a brilliant number and beta’s definitely more reliable than any stick test. Maybe try testing again in 2/3 days. Easier said than done I know but spotting is a good sign for many so Iv got everything crossed for you.
My clinic didn’t tell me the actual figure just that it was lower than they’d like and that they’d like to retest. I was told by one nurse they like 60+ with another saying 80+.
I’m going with the presumption I’m <60. Thankfully my results had doubled by today. So hoping I just had a late implanted. Despite all the early pains and symptoms. So I’m staying positive. Retesting again on Monday morning now. And praying my levels keep rising.
Positivity, Prayers and success to both of us x
🙏🏽💜🤞🏽
QUESTION….
Did any of you lovely ladies do anything extra or additional to aid or help implantation?
Such as vitamins, drinking pomegranate juice, eating pineapple or acupuncture x
I've done all of the above.lol. Not sure if it'll make a difference but it can't hurt.x
I’ve been binge eating beetroots and chugging away at the pomegranate juice 😂. That’s it aside from the obvious stuff. I’m on Inessa vitamins and have cut out caffeine and also decaff drinks. I have hot lemon water if I want something warm to drink. I feel far stricter this time around. I just had the smallest amount of very faint brown discharge and I am trying not to read into it. I don’t know what my progesterone test result was and they were meant to call, so I am going to call them tomorrow to make sure it was fine. X
sorry to hear about the discharge. But it’s probably something and nothing. Pessaries can cause irritation and some bleeding which if not fresh could result in what you’ve experienced. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. As for the myths do what feels right, chugging included 😂
After all. It can’t hurt can it. And it almost gives you some sense of comfort knowing your potentially helping x
Yeah my view is “this won’t do anything but it might so I’m doing it” 😂. I’m quite into beetroot and pomegranates to be honest with you!
I'm also eating lots of beetroot! I love it anyway and it is so easy to add into meals and lunches 🙂
Morning everyone, just wanted to check in again. Here’s hoping you all had a good day yesterday and a good rest last night.
One more sleep done and one more day ticked off this agonising wait.
Sending positive vibes all round and wishing everyone a good day today xx
💙🤞🏽🩷
Bless you, it’s so nice of you to keep sending everyone well wishes. How are you feeling? X
💖
I’m okay thanks. Started cramping today with bouts of breast pain that came in waves. Then this evening it was like a dull ache, almost like period was due with nausea. But I’m not concentrating too much on symptoms as I know these meds like to play mind games with us.
How about you, how’s your day been and how are you feeling? xx
It’s hard not to read into symptoms isn’t it? I actually feel no different and haven’t really had any symptoms from any of the meds either aside from a weird middle of the night intense cramping thing pre transfer and a really sore bum from the cyclogest! I’m okay but I have cabin fever a bit today. I normally exercise 4/5 times per week and what with it raining all day today I haven’t been able to expend any energy. Other than that I feel fine. I am hoping I can go for a short walk tomorrow. Xx
I get like that and hate been stuck in doors. But a walk sounds nice. Hopefully the weather clears up for you. I’m working a long day tomorrow 8-7 so won’t have much time to think about anything. But I have the weekend off. So hoping a couple of nice walks then. Take my daughter out and maybe squeeze in a pedicure as a little treat to myself x
A pedicure sounds like a lovely idea! I hope you have a great weekend! X
Thank you. I hope you manage to get out and have a lovely weekend too. Take care and speak soon xx
Hope you are feeling OK today MiniMe23 and got through that long shift!! Another day down and another day closer! Very little symptom-wise for me today. Feeling like I've broken the back of the TWW now though. Just this weekend and then I'm on the home straight 🙂
That’s brilliant wish I was on the home stretch. But hopefully won’t seem too long. And yes work seemed never ending today. But got out at 7:15 and headed straight out to meet family for food, to satisfy my raging hormones. Saved me cooking which was a bonus! Definitely looking forward to a lie in tomorrow though after being up at around 5am 8 days straight.
Symptom wise not much. Same dull ache. And almost like a mild period pain along with a slight fluttering feeling (best way I can describe it). The breast pain/tenderness comes in waves and lasts no more than 5 minutes at a time so who knows what’s going on inside.
If only we had a little window to the womb x
I'm sure if they made home scanners to watch the embryos we would all pay a fortune to have one! That's good you got out for dinner after work, sounds like a long day though! Enjoy the lie in. I'll be up at 7am to take my meds but might sneak back to bed afterwards! My boobs are sore all the time 🤣 and I know the fluttering feeling you mean. I say it is like my uterus has flipped like your stomach when you go over a bump too fast in a car! Everything I have had so far is explained by the drugs though so I can't call it at all yet. Just got to keep holding out!!
That’s the one! The car over a bump or the big dip on a rollercoaster. I can’t call mine either as they are all side effects of the medication. I’m really surprising myself though. Not even thinking of testing early this time. Not that I’d test right now as it’s too early, but Iv usually bought tests ready in anticipation. This time round Iv removed any remaining tests out of the house. But I’ll be the same tomorrow, hopefully lie in past 5. If I can sleep until 7 am that will be a treat. Walk the dog, take my morning meds and try grab an extra hour.
And that’s a symptom I didn’t mention. Tiredness! I’m a lot more tired this time round than following my previous transfers.
I'm actually the opposite. Every other round I've been absolutely knackered and sleeping really badly - between waking up with night sweats and needing to pee - and when I was sleeping I didn't feel rested as had such vivid dreams. I'm waking up at 5.30/6am needing to pee and have had the odd bad night this time but much better. That is just helping everything mentally too - the lubion is not fun to take but when I have enough energy to stay active it really helps deal with the low moods! I have a heap of tests but like you I'm not tempted yet. I'm now counting down, 6 days to get through, 9 days down! To be honest in my last rounds I've not been tempted until something happened - spotting or insane cramping - or if something in my life made me need to know - going away with work or kids parties etc. I have planned nothing this time. Also usually only when I'm convinced I'm out do I want to test and put myself out of my misery, and so far nothing! Fingers crossed that's a good sign 🤞
I agree. Definitely a good sign and as everyone presents differently there is no set rule book. Therefore we can only go on what we feel. That been said Iv read posts from others who have had 2+ BFP’s with each one being the polar opposite of what they were expecting based on their previous. It really isn’t easy to tell one way or the other. But test day will be here soon enough.
Fingers toes and everything crossed 🤞🏽
Iv not had any vivid dreams as such but have reoccurring ones about how I surprise my daughter with the news but each time the announcement has been different. And also getting up for the toilet multiple times.
also In TWW transferred frozen embryo on 27th- reading into every little symptom or no symptoms! It’s a long wait hope you’re doing ok 💫
I’m okay thank you. Just trying to keep busy and take each day as it comes. When is your test date and how are you feeling?
My test date is Thursday 7th ✨
Same trying to fill my days which is hard! Counting the days down.
I had quite a lot of symptoms off the medications which has seem to have eased off so that is very confusing! Tired & emotional lol How are you feeling? My test day is the 8th x
Iv had the odd few. Really tired on a night and falling asleep phone in hand most nights. Normally I toss and turn for around 2 hours before falling asleep. Some mild twinges to a dull ache lower abdomen. And mildly sore boobs which comes on in waves. It’s a funny sensation. Toilet more frequently and some waves of nausea. But nothing too intense or ongoing x
⭐️🩷🤞🏽💙☀️ 🌈🙏🏽
Morning everyone!!!
Hope your all feeling okay? On a plus note that’s the weekend ticked off and another 2 days closer to our happy endings, fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Hope you all have a nice Sunday xx
Hi MiniMe23! I've been trying very hard to keep busy today - long walk with the dog and then out in the garden, but I've finally given up, sat down and accepted that I feel horrendous! I've got a migraine coming on for sure... Unusual for me so no idea what to read into that! Hope you are doing a bit better. 2 days down, and only four more to go for me! x
Hi, glad you’ve got out for a bit today. I was the same. Really wanted to take advantage of a lie in today but I was up with the birds. My migraines have settled but in the beginning with the Progynova they were debilitating. Really hope you feel better soon. I had to stop half way round the supermarket earlier as the cramps just came on really intense. I was struggling to walk. Hopefully we’re both feeling better by tomorrow x
That's not so good! I haven't had anything like that cramping wise. 🤞 Fingers crossed it was the embryo bedding in. I haven't had many migraines this time and thought I was past the migraine stage last week, so a bit annoyed to be feeling rubbish today! I usually only get them when I start a new drug so fingers crossed it is a good sign this time! x
Morning All…
Final week for a lot of us here. With so many testing on the 7th/8th and many more following. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone was holding up! x
✨✨❤️✨✨
Hey, hope your doing well? I feel like my period is trying to start but can't because of the progesterone. Convinced it's not worked but my test day isn't until next Sunday.x
Morning, I’m okay thank you. Feeling a bit similar on and off tbh. Yesterday was horrendous, stomach pains, nausea sickness. You name it. But still holding out for Thursday. Is your test date the 10th. And would your period usually be due around now or closer to Sunday?
Either way we’re all still definitely in until we discover otherwise. Try and stay positive if that’s possible. I have everything crossed for us all xx
Hi MiniMe23, I'm the same as Elly5287, I really feel like my period is here except I have no bleeding. So I think the drugs are holding it off. I've decided I'm not testing until Friday so just trying to tell myself I might be wrong. I have however also had a migraine since Sunday evening (I'm not a migraine sufferer) and haven't had any spotting (which I have had on my period due date on other negative cycles) so trying to tell myself that's something different and might be a good sign so we aren't out yet. But in my heart I feel we are out. How are you getting on? x
I’m okay. But at times feeling a little bit the same. I had some really intense cramp like stabbing pains Sunday that stopped me in my tracks. Yesterday I had stomach ache and thought the same. But it was coupled with really overwhelming nausea that resulted in me being sick at lunch time. Which is not something I typically have when I’m due on. The nausea lasted all day and night and I also had a really loose bowel movement in the evening (sorry tmi).
It was so bad I was in bed for 8pm. Woke up this morning to absolutely nothing at 6am. But on the school run had slight nausea creeping back and stomach flutters. These meds are playing havoc with us all. But trying to remain positive and hold out until Thursday as planned xx
Wow that sounds like a good sign to me, but each of us knows our own bodies best don't we! Fingers crossed for you - you only have one more morning to wake up before test date. You are nearly there! (Although if it is BFP I hope you feel better soon!) I've also had the 'loose bowels' the last 24 hours too (no such thing as TMI on here!) but to me that's a sign of my period. Everything I've read says constipation is the result of pregnancy - I definitely dont have that! I've had the odd stomach flutter but not nearly as much as in previous cycles. I also haven't had the fatigue or the needing to pee that I've had in previous rounds so I'm feeling pretty down and definitely expecting a BFN now. Friday isn't far away either though and I always tell people on here that you aren't out until you are out. So I'm not out until Friday, and alot can change in 3 days in this world x
Just reading all of your updates. You all sound like you’re having a much rougher time than I am! I don’t feel like my period is coming and I don’t feel pregnant either 😂. I had two womb pang sessions that were basically two pangs each time.I think that was on Sunday. That’s it. I feel absolutely normal. So if I’m pregnant I will be amazed.
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽
You’d be amazed at how many people get their positive without a single symptom. I’m just hoping I’m personally not one of those people. As I had symptoms with my other pregnancies early on. Although I know each one is different and I shouldn’t compare.
Although I’d have happily traded places with you yesterday for no symptoms. As I felt worse than rough 😂 xx
It sounds like you had a horrendous day yesterday!! Did you have one or two embryos transferred?
Just one. Although I really wanted 2 put back as I only had 2 remaining x
What was the reason behind them not putting two back? I am thinking if this one hasn’t worked I will see if I can gamble on two as the rest of mine are lower grade than the two I have had transferred so far. Then if that doesn’t work I might go private and do another egg collection because my partners sperm should have improved by now so I am thinking we might be able to get more through to day 5 and of better quality.
I had 12 retrieved a 5 made it to day 5 blasts. They initially agreed to 2 but I got a new lead consultant just before this fet. And he took my decision to medical panel and it was a majority vote against the plan. Due to my natural risk of twins (so potentially triplets or quads) and preterm births. I was surprised my original consultant agreed (eventually) but can see why many wouldn’t.
Iv always had high risk pregnancies all natural. 9 miscarriages in total. Iv had twins in different locations. One early miscarriage 1 (twin 2) ruptured ectopic that was missed (almost 17weeks) Resulting in severe internal bleeding. And tube removal. Followed by a still birth at 30 weeks and then my daughter born after that, who’s twin I lost early on too. Following her Iv been pregnant again twice in the last 7 years (mc 8&9) with neither getting past 6 weeks. All the above were natural but turned to ivf last year after tests due to male factor. And now low amh with time running out and the age gap increasing.
It’s been a very traumatic journey. Almost dying during my rupture & then then with my daughter as I got sepsis just before my induction resulting in an emergency section. Despite all that I’m very much glass half full. I always dreamed of twin girls and got my wish, just not the way I hoped. I’m now trying to give her the sibling she so desperately wants but as much as we want it also. I’m resided to the fact that if it’s not meant to be I will be forever grateful for my rainbow princess 🌈💖
And after turning to ivf last year after all my previous natural conceptions I’m determined not to let this journey impact me too much negatively.
Iv buried 2 children already. And lost many more and I’m still standing & keeping the faith whilst staying positive xx
Wow. Just wow. Your story is epic. You sound like the world’s most resilient woman. I really hope this one works for you and I’m happy you have your little girl. If it happens once there is definitely hope that it can happen twice xxxx
Thank you. That means a lot. I could honestly write a book. But I definitely believe there’s still hope too. For myself and everyone else on this journey xx
❤️
I did something daft earlier and did a clear blue early detection pregnancy test 😬😬😬😬😬. It was negative. I now have no idea if that’s a true or a false negative but it’s not changed anything for me. I’ve felt nauseous this afternoon and still feel rough now but I am guessing if hcg was high enough to make me sick it would have picked it up on the test too. Any thoughts other than “you’re an idiot”? 😂
Oh no… the early testing got you!
But you’re definitely not an idiot. You’ve only done what the majority of us have at some time. How many dpt are you today? Your official test date is the 12th isn’t it. But I remember you were planning on testing Thursday with me. If that’s your OTD then it was given for a reason. Plenty her negative early on and go on to have BFP closer to or on OTD.
I personally have always used clear blue but have tested well after a missed period. But since starting this journey Iv heard none stop stories about them not being reliable. Fingers crossed it changes. As it really is too early.
How are you genuinely feeling now though? xx
My transfer was on the 27th so it’s been 7 days. I didn’t use the first wee of the day even but I was bored and thought “you never know!!”. I feel okay about it genuinely, I don’t feel as optimistic about the outcome but I know it might change. I always test “too early” it’s like a disease and even when I was told “you must wait the full two weeks” I was nodding along thinking “you don’t know me at all, there’s zero chance I’m going to listen” 😬😬
That was me each time previously. So I was determined not to this time just to test myself. So we transferred the same day (trying to remember dates for everyone) but my official test date is 7th and yours the 12th. My clinic obviously test on the earlier side. But clearly have their reasons. I would say hold off tomorrow and retest Thursday like you were originally planning. A lot can change in over 24 hours.
Everything crossed 🤞🏽 that it’s not a true result.
What symptoms have you had today? xx
I felt nauseous this pm and don’t feel 100% now either. Nothing else that’s relevant. TMI but I had the worst pain this afternoon in my back passage from the cyclogest. I’ve used Anusol though and it’s worked like a charm already!! This is after saying I had no symptoms whatsoever and then my butt hole really spoke to me 😂. How are your symptoms today?
Iv been okay. Well a lot better than yesterday. Woke up today with absolutely nothing. Then started with dull pain and twinges around 9ish. Slight nausea but nothing that paled in comparison to yesterday. Boobs have settled. Not so much sore now. But slight tingling/stinging/throbbing sensation around my areola which comes and goes in waves. Managed to eat and keep food down today. So that was a plus. These meds are honestly something else, aren’t they!
I was worried it was the start of AF briefly although not due until Friday and genuinely like clockwork. Even returning to normal following previous FET’s. So who knows what’s going on. Either way I’ll soon get my answer x
Yeah, there’s not much time left to wait now 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Glad you’re feeling a bit better today!
Not at all. Just heading to bed now. Then only one more sleep after tonight. Hope you manage to get some rest.
Night xx
Hi, how are you today? Are you planning on retesting tomorrow or the 12th still xx
I had a weep and a wail yesterday morning and then snapped out of it as I realised that I had a sales call. Think I got the client 😂. I tested this morning BFN again as I anticipated. I feel okay today as I tend to have a moment and then bounce back. I will test off and on until OTD but I have my answer. I think we will look to going private now as I don’t think I can hack twice yearly transfers, I want volume so each transfer means less. I am wondering if I need more investigations at my end. I still have a ton of hope for the future and feel positive today (ironically). How are you doing? Have you tested? 🤞🏻
Morning, sometimes a little weep is needed as I often think bottling things up can be worse. Glad you seen quite positive though and have work to distract you. Well doneon getting the sale too. Have you had many prior investigations? We went straight to private as we already had one child and so didn’t qualify for NHS funding.
I like to throw myself straight into another cycle or transfer when unsuccessful so I can see your frustration if only having 2 transfers a year. What’s the eligibility in your area regarding number of free cycles?
Iv not tested yet just driving there now. Hubby has taken the day off to come for blood test with me as I’d usually go alone. I’m feeling okay either way. Symptoms all but disappeared last night but woke up with sore boobs and dull achy abdomen again. So could literally go either way at this point.
Either way I too am hopeful for the future. Ideally BFP today. But if not we both keep ploughing on until we get the success we deserve xx
❤️
Sending you so so much luck and love for today 🍀 🍀🍀🍀. I truly hope this one has stuck for you and all is moving in the right direction. If not I’m here cheering on your next round! I haven’t had many investigations really, I haven’t had my tubes checked for example, they suspect I could have adenomyosis but no one seems to hold the same view on this. My partner has horrendous sperm but some are healthy and fast swimming etc. we went straight to ICSI because of this. If I remember correctly you have to wait 6 weeks before you can have even a conversation with a doctor post failure. I am going to look into buying an unlimited ivf package which you have to start before you are 38. In the meantime I might speak with the private clinic that does my transfer. A consultation is £250 I think. I want to know what they think at their end about what we should do next. I have 4 blasts left all of lower quality than the two we have used. One of them is below average I think and the other 3 are solid but not the level we’ve tried already. I think I might either go for an egg collection asap to get more in the bank or see if I can transfer 2 next cycle. I am leaning towards collecting more eggs because my partner had a varicocele operation, we need to get him tested again but maybe we can get some better blasts. I thought it was a bit odd that I had so many fertilise and get to day three and then I lost the majority of them day 3-5. Then I read someone say if they die day 3-5 it’s more likely the sperm. Not sure if that is true. Are there any checks you had that you found helpful??
So much of the symptoms are caused by drugs and so it is completely OK not to have any symptoms! Fingers crossed you have the double positive - feeling fine and two lines!
Thank you, I hope the same for you too. It would be amazing if all of us had positives, statistically unlikely but it would be great 😀
That would be the best. I agree x
'Statistically unlikely' - never a truer word said 🤣 It doesn't stop us all championing for everyone else though. Hopefully we all get there eventually. I've slightly had enough after 5 transfers but I also know I'm a long way from bowing out gracefully.
You sound super tenacious. Hopefully the “good things come to those who wait” story stands true for you and this is the ONE!
I’m really hoping so. I do have it in me to continue as not a lot gets me down. But the reality is I don’t want to be on this journey indefinitely either.
And you’re right about tmi. I think on here there’s a no hold bars rule and all dignity kind of goes out of the window at times. Friday will be here soon enough and I’m just getting through today and tomorrow like you said then it’s test day. I just hope they don’t keep me waiting. On my last cycle I was chasing them up at 4 for results and ended up having to wait until the following day which I hadn’t factored in. I sometimes have loose bowels around my period too so I wasn’t excited too much by that. But like you I firmly believe we’re not out yet and am hoping and praying with everything crossed it’s not over xx
Morning Everyone!
Just wanted to check in and see how your all doing. I literally can’t wait to get home from work today and get to bed as tomorrow is officially test day. Seems a lot is going on from now (almost daily). Regarding tests and scans. With myself, Here4ivfinfo & UnicornOnTour tomorrow.
Followed by WillowPark, 8369perkins, Of89 & Jbrauer0816 on Friday. Is anyone tempted to test early?
Either way we’ve almost completed the dreaded TWW which is an achievement in itself (definitely for me anyway 😂).
Hope you all have a brilliant day, and sending positive vibe & baby dust to all xx
🌈🩷✨💙✨🤞🏽
Hope u are doing ok and ur day goes in quick! I still can’t believe I’ve held out this long- not long to go now!
Wishing you all lots of luck for tomorrow on your test days 💫💫 x
Best wishes to everyone testing tomorrow. X
Wishing you all the luck the world for tomorrow 
Try get a little sleep I know its very difficult. 🌈♥️ xx
Hi everyone, sorry for not updating sooner.
Got my results and it’s BFP 💜🙏🏽
However my levels were lower than expected so I now have to have my bloods tested again in 48 hours to check everything is progressing as it should. I am obviously happy, but at the same time don’t feel I can enjoy the moment with all the uncertainty. Hoping and praying this little one is a fighter and was just late to implant. But appreciate everyone’s positivity and well wishes xx
Hi MiniMe23, congratulations! That's great news! Keeping everything crossed the levels correct themselves quickly so you can have some peace of mind. Unfortunately we have had another BFN this morning. One more embryo in the freezer so trying to tell myself that all is not lost x
Morning, thank you for that. And I’m so sorry to hear your test was BFN this morning. I was literally just posting to wish everyone luck before I got your notification. I’m so sorry. But glad you have one little frostie in the freezer still.
How are you feeling? And are you hoping to go straight into your next FET as soon as possible or take a break?
Sending lots of love, luck and positivity for your next transfer xx
❤️
I was actually thinking of you and wondering how you got on yesterday while I was trying to decide whether to get up and go for it, logged on and saw your BFP, so thought I'd test first hoping to be able to say "me too!". But alas, the statistics say that is quite unlikely. I'm OK at the moment though. It will hit me over the next couple of days as the drugs come out of my system, but I know what to expect and am prepared for it. I'm hoping to go in for our next FET as soon as possible. My clinic have suggested I can try a natural cycle next time so I'll speak to them about that and make a decision. I'm hoping they will fit us in during my April cycle whatever we choose x
So sorry it wasn’t the outcome you had hoped for. But sounds like you’re well ahead with the next steps. And that success is just around the corner for you. Life would be wonderful if all these unfortunate struggles could be stripped away and statics were success for anyone who simply wished it.
I’ll be following your journey from here though and I’m certain I’ll be congratulating you in the very near future. Be kind to yourself these next few days. Every cycle is gruelling and really takes its toll both mentally and physically. I did so well holding off until OTD but unfortunately the wait isn’t over. Just hoping things can turn themselves round come Saturday.
Sending lots of love ❤️ xx
Absolutely - and same to you - I hope everything continues to go well over the next few days and weeks so you can relax and enjoy the positive result. You expect this massive sense of relief with the result so to end up in another anxious waiting game is unfair, and I hope you aren't there for long! Hopefully little embryo has just taken its time bedding down nice and comfy and will confirm for you soon that they are there and very much planning to stick around. Keep me updated! xx
Thank you so much. That means a lot. And I hope it’s exactly as you say. I’ll definitely keep in touch and keep you updated xx
Sorry to hear this WillowPark , sending you lots of love and hope for the next stage of your journey xx
Thank you x
So glad you have a BFP and sending you all the best wishes for the next 48 hrs and beyond xxx
Thank you so much. I’m so happy and grateful for any positivity, well wishes, luck and prayers that anyone can send my way right now.
Happy, praying and keeping the faith xx
Morning Everyone, hope your all well today.
Just wanted to wish everyone testing today the very best of luck xx 🤞🏽 🍀
How did you get on yesterday? Hoping good news 💫
I got bfp this morning I’m still in shock! Xx
sending lots of love to everyone testing today
Huge congratulations to you. I bet you are on cloud 9. So happy to hear you got your BFP. I also got mine just before the clinic closed after waiting all day. However I’m currently being reserved as I need to repeat my BetaHCG on Saturday which will be 48 hours later as the number wasn’t quite enough to not require a retest.
So currently in limbo but hoping and praying my little one is a fighter like my other daughter was against all adversity. 🙏🏽❤️🤞🏽🍀✨
How are you feeling about things now. Has it sunk in? Xx
congratulations to you too! It comes with a whole other lot of worries and anxiety doesn’t it!
Good luck today with your beta results I have everything crossed for you! Xx
MiniMe23 How are you xx
Hopefully the rest of you days goes quickly. I'm ok thankyou just sleepy and hungry 😂 counting down the hours until I finish for the day!! xx
You and me both. Hope your day goes quickly too. I know what you mean about the tiredness. Thankfully not had nausea as often. But was up and down to the toilet like a yo yo last night. I just want to be home in my dressing gown taking it easy xx
Hi Everyone, hope your all doing well.
Just a quick update!!!
I’m pleased to say my first retest has doubled. I’ll be retesting again on Monday now and every 48 hour’s until the consultant is happy with the progression. But thankfully everything is moving in the right direction. I’m currently 4+2 today and have been offered an early scan for peace of mind at 5+5. Although it’s not common practice as that’s generally too early to see everything. But it’s more for reassurance that the pregnancy is in the right place.
Everything crossed that this little one is comfortable and where they are meant to be.
Thank you all for the support and well wishes. It’s much appreciated xxx
💜 🙏🏽
this is the best news ♥️ Hope your doing ok and good luck for today xxx
Thank you 😊
Really it was such a relief but we’ll have a better picture at the end of today. So patiently waiting yet again. Otherwise all is okay. Just a lot of nausea today but sure it will pass. How are you doing? xx
ooooh fingers crossed for you.
I'm ok I had a day where I spotted but for about 10 minutes but was more like implantation spotting? So I had a bit of a breakdown but just trying to think positive.
xx
That’s fairly common so hopefully it’s nothing more. Just try to take it as a positive, particularly as it was following your BFP. When do you next have and kind of follow up appointment or scan now?
Just had my second results as I was literally typing this reply, they’ve doubled again. First time this whole journey Iv actually burst into tears xx
💜
Oooooohhh I'm so happy for you 🌈❤️ the best news ever !!!!
My next appt is 28th for a scan, I never knew about health anxiety until now 😅 however positive thoughts and try and keep busy xx
Hi, hope everyone is doing okay today. Just wanted to check in as I know days like today can be quite upsetting especially when you are trying to conceive or have suffered a loss. Just wanting to send some love x
💜💐
( I hope this doesn’t upset or offend)
Images are hidden by default on this community.
Hi hope you’re all doing well. Just a quick update. Second BetaHCG results came back and they’ve doubled again. I’m so surprised but so happy.
Sending love to everyone else x 💜
Morning Everyone,
Just wanted to check in and see how you’re all doing. Wishing you all a good week ahead x
Evening everyone,
Just an update for anyone still checking this. But after 2 weeks of uncertainty…
Low rising HCG, spotting, bleeds, intense pain, cramping and a stint in A&E.
Fetal pole and heartbeat finally detected at 6+5. We are overwhelmed but over the moon. Hoping & praying that everything continues to progress as it should and the bleeding hopefully comes to a halt. Looking forward to finally being able to tell my daughter that she is being promoted to big sister.
Wishing you all the best of luck on your journeys xx
💜💜💜
