(Update results, TW) Dreading OTD tomorrow 😬

[Lelllow]

UPDATE: *TW* Positive

OMG, I cannot believe it... but it is POSITIVE 💫The clinic just called to confirm my HCG levels are good for what they would like to see at this stage. I know it is a long way to go, but the emotional relief at the moment is INSANE. I am trembling and cannot believe this might be our lucky day. Thank you all for your kind words and support xxx

OTD tomorrow, 10dpt5dt. The clinic is doing HCG beta blood test. I initially planned to have a home test today, 9dpt, so I can digest what ever the news are before hearing from a nurse.

but I just couldn’t… the idea of staring on the home test and finding it yet-another-BFN terrifies me. 😭

This is my second IVF round and third transfer. I want to stay positive as we put so much effort into this cycle: from switching the clinic to doing more investigation to undergoing immune protocol and adding ICSI. The overall process and results so far have been much better than previous ivf on NHS.

So I feel like the odds should be in our favour. But the idea that this hasn’t work and then we are back to square one with broken hearts and drained wallets, just petrifies me.

Sorry for sobbing. Just needed to share in the space where I’m sure many will understand the feeling. Sending hugs to everyone who’s in the same boat 🫶

Everything you've mentioned you're feeling is completely valid. We have to go through so much stress and trauma to even be in with a chance of what other women get so easily, and we often go through it in silence too.

I was the exact same last week, I was absolutely petrified of testing, was convinced it hadn't worked, and the thought of seeing another stark white test made me feel physically sick. I had no symptoms at all, but it ended up being positive, so you truly never know when things will turn around for you. Keep going!

All the best for tomorrow 🤞🏼✨ xx

Thank you for your kind message. Congrats on BFP - amazing news 💫

Thank you, long way to go yet though before I can get properly excited rather than terrified something will go wrong!

Keep us updated (if you feel ready/able) 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 x

I feel for you, I’ve been there. My hands used to shake trying to do the tests at home and I felt sick when it came to reading them. It’s a tough process, I can 100% relate to how you feel.

My third transfer worked 🩷 so I hope for you too, it’s third time lucky 🙏🙏🙏 keep going and try and keep the faith, you’ll get there xx

Sending you lots of luck for tomorrow x

omg you and are in the EXACT same boat with everything you said! Except I am 10dpt3dt. But same number of rounds, transfers, changed clinics, added ICSI and doing Beta in the morning. Sending hugs and baby dust!!! ✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼

[Lelllow in reply to ChynnaJax]

Thank you! 🙏 and same to you! wish this is a lucky day ❤️

fingers crossed for you, I know how you feel. I never did at home tests after the first couple of cycles because I couldn’t handle seeing another negative test. Made waiting for the blood test results at work all day, pretty dreadful, especially worried they would ring me in the middle of a lesson (I’m a teacher). But then always took a test after getting a positive so I could always picture that use it as my manifestation when needed

[Lelllow in reply to Whartdog86]

I did the same! Even already knowing the result from the clinic, I needed to SEE these two lines and remember this moment as a positive experience. Thank you for your kind message xx
