@Indianna2006 oh my goodness! Wonderful news! Did you end up taking DD with you? I bet she is delighted!

@FfayeN oh hun, it's going to be tough as the weeks drag by but it will get easier. Have you had a scan already? I can't remember who has vs hasn't. I really wouldn't worry about symptoms - some people seem to get a huge amount and others very little. I don't think it's indicative of much at all. And I don't think eating gluten will have any affect but do understand why you are concerned. With DD I panicked as a meal I had at a restaurant had cooked feta in it and was obsessing over it for hours. Sending big hugs, it will get easier 💕

@MrsCristianoX funny you say that as on 4dpo I had really bad cramps. Felt like mini-O so weird 🤷‍♀️ seems to have subsided now but I reckon it was the follicular cyst growing. Absolutely no symptoms at all with high NK cells. I still caught all of DDs bugs so you'd think if I had such stellar immune system, I would not be sick very often! From what I've read, high NK cells is common with people with autoimmune diseases (so far I'm unaware of having any and I've had loads of tests done as part of the RMC blood panel). It's a mystery!

@theblueflowers same advice as what I said to @FfayeN, I think all we will absolutely fine but totally get the scanxiety. Big hugs from me 💕

@TheBirdintheCave sorry I missed your message at the weekend about further testing. What are you having done on Wednesday? We may be ivf buddies soon!

@theblueflowers @FfayeN Sorry you're both feeling anxious :( As Indianna said, better to take one day at a time even though I remember how hard and horrible the waiting is.

7dpo here today. I'll take a cheap test tomorrow just in case by some miracle I get a line and maybe we can cancel our appointment.

Thanks ladies 💓

@FfayeN @theblueflowers it’s so so hard. All I can say is it does lessen a little each scan you pass. I still get it. But not as heightened as the first few. As I guess it’s where our experiences went wrong so it mixes in with all that trauma.

All you can do is breathe and try control the anxiety to get by. Take day by day.

@FfayeN @theblueflowers big hugs lovelies💕 it's so hard to stay not anxious about it but just keep trying to stay busy as much as possible. We're here whenever you're feeling wobbly sometimes it just helps to write it down and post.Xxx

@FfayeN why on earth did I think you were in New York 😂

@FfayeN no I find it really easy to recognise body temps and a nightmare to do right, I usually forget 🙈There's like 40% of the ovunsense in Black Friday though so I am tempted. I just don't know last month we were careful and I had minimum pain. I feel if it's something like that I'm out

Try not to worry. Successful pregnancies are usually mild symptoms, if it was so awful no one would do it ❤️

@FfayeN I'm so sorry you're feeling like this, but know that you're not alone- I could have written your exact post! It's why I've been so quiet. My scan is on Thursday, and my anxiety is building. I had horrible stress dreams last night, woke up every two hours and when my alarm went off this morning my heart was racing. I'm now worrying my worrying is going to cause harm! I both want this scan to come and to not come. Just can't help thinking that in a few days this could all be over.

I'm also with you on the very mild symptoms. It doesn't help listening to friends who talk about how bad they got it. They don't know I'm pregnant but I couldn't help but feel rubbish when they were chatting. Aside from my boobs and the mildest of nausea, I feel fine!

@Indianna2006 that is the best news! Massive congratulations lovely x

@FfayeN rant away.. are you still in New York? So 6po today but the last 2 nights have been having weird period like cramps lower back and pelvis and my skin is burning. I've had to use a deep freeze patch to get to sleep

Anyways now I've nearly convinced myself I have inflammation in the uterus like the killer cell condition. It just feels wrong to be cramping so much🤷‍♀️

@bunnykins123 and anyone else diagnosed with this, did the condition cause cramps a week before testing? They are bloody sore too.

@Indianna2006 oh I'm so happy for you lovely 💕

@Indianna2006 Congratulations :D

@Indianna2006 yay! 🥰 amazing news. How did u feel going into the scan? X

@Indianna2006 amazing news!! Congratulations 💗xx

17+1 and scan was all as it should be 👶🏼✨

and we’re having another GIRL 💓
sister for DD 🥰🥰

Jaysus I have nausea and I know it's the virus bug ...I really think the virus is like 'mmm when can we make her feel sick, oh I know a week before she tests🙄' (stalks off to get a cyclizine)

@lovenaps ❤️ hope you start to feel better soon lovely see you in a couple of weeks

I developed a crazy anxiety after the first loss. Life has certainly changed since then, completely. Still struggling to sleep at night thinking of all the terrible things that could go wrong. I will take a little couple weeks break from mumsnet but will be back to see the upcoming BFPs 😍Will be thinking of you all!
Just wanted to say this in case someone tags me with a question and I don't respond - it would just be because I won't have the app!

@bunnykins123 Yeah I suppose it is still a dip even if it's not a big one. It'll be interesting to see if the scan on Weds (for our first IVF appointment) shows whether it happened or not.

Our charts do seem similar :)

@TheBirdintheCave god I seem to have cropped half of it out 🤦‍♀️ O pains and peak on day 17

@TheBirdintheCave well our charts are similar in that we both had a temp dip on O pain day. Whether that means much or not 🤷‍♀️ here's mine for comparison...
