Tagging @Triselly @lemons44 @CR7 @Flowerlover010 @pongom @WholeZebra @TheBirdintheCave in a new thread as the last one stopped accepting new messages.

Hi all I haven't posted on here for ages, since my first round failed. Since then I had another failed round. I was keeping tabs on this thread and rooting for you @Triselly as our situations were so similar (day 3 transfers, surgically retrieved sperm). I'm so sorry this round didn't work for you. I was crushed after our second round failed. We transferred 2 day 3 embryos and none of our others made it to day 5. Then got a BFN. The clinic is starting to wonder if we can actually get to day 5 at all because on both rounds none of them have. Our next step is we are moving clinics to CRGH and doing a synchronised egg collection and sperm retrieval to try with fresh sperm. Sending big hugs 💗

@SarahShorty sending you such a big congrats. I am so chuffed for you xx

@WholeZebra , never heard of it. What could be the reason?

@WholeZebra oh sweetheart xx I know I'd be worried if I was told that. That does seem odd, though. Why the different kidney size requirements? Very strange.

Had my 20 weeks scan today and baby was found to have dilated kidneys. The sonographer was great and stated that in England they wouldn’t be counted as dilated, but here in Wales they like them smaller for some reason. My mind is in overdrive and I can’t stop worrying.

@Valentina1985 I think all kinds of discharge in the TWW are normal!

Valentina1985 · 01/11/2023 23:10

@TheBirdintheCave , got it! I wish I were anxious but so little hope... I am happy for you all then! congrats @CR7 !

CR7 · 01/11/2023 22:35

@Valentina1985 30 weeks today. Can't quite believe it x

TheBirdintheCave · 01/11/2023 22:24

@Valentina1985 I think you're the only one at the moment!

Valentina1985 · 01/11/2023 21:59

@CR7
, where are you in the journey? Anyone else in the TWW?

Valentina1985 · 01/11/2023 09:42

Girls, has any of you experienced a discharge during the TWW that looks like water almost? Very transparent and liquid? I am 5dpt2d.

@Triselly I really hope I get two. It is a reasonable expectation after having two put in. I'm going to keep praying xx

Hi ladies xx I did NOT expect to get a positive! At all! And yes, it really did knock me out of my chair! Finger crossed they both will grow, although one would be amazing after all this time ❤I'll still take each day as it comes as it's still so early. I'm going to be praying so hard every day to get to the birth date, my DH worked out 5th July. I forgot there are due date calculators on the internet 😂

Hi ladies xx The results of the blood test came through this morning and I wanted to see for myself what the number looks like on a First Response.

I'm in complete and total shock.
