Hi all,

I’m just starting my TWW and planning on testing around 29 October (unless period comes sooner which it did last month!)

Anyone else planning to test around Halloween?

@Carly2014 aw this is fab news, congrats
I have zero on sore boobs but I've just got in the bath and my nipples are a completely different shade to when I clocked them last night šŸ˜‚.
Sneezing a lot for me too in fact,
Headache for a week now
Did you have any type of IB?

VictoriaBlossom · 30/10/2022 10:40

Sorry @Hopefull1981 I am not very knowledgeable about ivf. Eeeeek exciting tiiiimes xxx

@Carly2014 you'd have to be blind or seriously in denial not to see that one ā˜ŗļø

I’m in shock. My husband and I have been trying for a year (not every month but most). This month we decided not to do any tests and we went on holiday. I think I am dpo 11.

looking back my symptoms last week were:

sore boobs
insomnia
sneezing a lot
sense of smell is stronger
nausea (today only)

SmurfStar · 30/10/2022 10:29

@Billyv thank you! You never know, I said the same after bfn yday.

I also waited til my 12 week scan, it timed well that I announced it on Christmas Day. It would work out the same now we would be 12 weeks at Christmas. I feel like I'd wait longer this time because I think people might judge us for getting pregnant so soon after having our daughter.

(That's if all stays wellā¤ļø)

For some reason I'm super anxious whereas first time I was ecstatic and never even considered anything negative

@Carly2014 looking at your test compared to mine I'm absolutely definitely sure you're pregnant 🤣 congratulations šŸŽ‰

@Carly2014 you'd have to be blind or seriously in denial not to see that one ā˜ŗļø

Billyv · 30/10/2022 10:19

@SmurfStar also I can see that yes. Hehe congratulations, I didn't see you had a BFP. Lovely!

Billyv · 30/10/2022 10:17

hello! 10dpo, BFN here but I'm not too surprised. I know 10dpo is early but I'm certain I'm not pregnant anyway, just not feeling it. Better luck next month I guess ā˜ŗļø

@SmurfStar I waited until I'd had my 12wk scan with DS and had the results from the blood tests... But I might tell two close friends earlier this time on the basis that if things went wrong I'd be ok with them knowing. They both have 2 LOs already and we see each other every week.

Carly2014 · 30/10/2022 10:14

Hi. I just tested positive today. I’m in shock. Can you all see it too?

SmurfStar · 30/10/2022 10:10

Out of interest how long would/do you all wait before letting people know you're pregnant?

SmurfStar · 30/10/2022 10:09

@Hopefull1981 when is official test day?

I love when it's a secret. Being around lots of family really reinforces how intimate it is between me and baby. Obviously I know you're protecting yourself but it's also nice to think like that.

Hopefull1981 · 30/10/2022 09:51

thank you @VictoriaBlossom. 4dp5dt is the equivalent of 9 DPO. We transferred 2 X 5 day embryos. My whole family is here this weekend so I am doing my best to not say anything. I just can’t deal with the pity when something goes wrong. My husband would prefer to kept in the dark until I at least get to the official test day. He isn’t a fan of the testing rollercoaster.

VictoriaBlossom · 30/10/2022 09:43

@Hopefull1981 wow a line at 4dpo. I darent test til AF is due which is sometime between tomorrow and Wednesday next week. Had a really really stressful two weeks though so wondering if my potential IB was just a messed up period. You know, when you constantly "what if" a situation
Congrats, and if you don't know if it's a good idea telling people, if I get a positive test, I'll be doing the same as you and staying quiet for a little while. It's so deflating when something goes wrong, it's easier to deal with it alone then tell people around you what's happened if you need support. They might say "you should have told me" but it's just nicer to keep it secret for the few weeks anyway

VictoriaBlossom · 30/10/2022 09:39

@CreatingLittlePudding eeeek will you resist the urge to test tonight?

VictoriaBlossom · 30/10/2022 09:39

@SmurfStar darling that lines than last night. Yaaaay

Daisy1992 · 30/10/2022 08:53

I'm out this month, AF arrived at 1am šŸ‘Ž good luck to those waiting to test and congratulations to those who have got BFPs!

CreatingLittlePudding · 30/10/2022 08:43

Anyone else still waiting to test? 12dpo here, period due today or tomorrow. My best friend has grabbed me some tests from work so I'm picking them up this evening.

CreatingLittlePudding · 30/10/2022 08:40

@SmurfStar can definitely see a second line there!

SmurfStar · 30/10/2022 08:19

14 dpo I think. I'm not sure but that's according to my app 😃

Hopefull1981 · 30/10/2022 07:54

@SmurfStar Awh I know how you feel. How many days DPO are you?

I haven’t told anyone about my positive test. I am just afraid it will turn into a chemical. Just keep hoping for progression every 2 days.

so far so good.

@SmurfStar it's cool. The pregnancy caught me off guard. Tried for ages, decided to give it a break, fell pregnant, bestie died with a blood clot (at 32 years old it's just mind blowing) lost pregnancy.
This time around it would be lovely to have this as a successful pregnancy. But AF due Friday, had a very different potential implantation bleed yesterday/day before- my previous pregnancy I had sore boobs 6dpo, implantation goop a few days later, whereas right now I only have a headache, weird odd oval nips and a few hours of bright read blood yesterday, pretty much a pale brown cm today.
Not had a baby yet, would be lovely to get that opportunity.
Sending good vibes to everyone here though, you don't realise how much you'd love a baby, til you get close to it, and it goes away
