9dpo cramps this morning!

@ForestWren i do feel a little more relaxed. I spoke with one of my colleagues today who is 16 weeks pregnant and doing so has relaxed me a little more.
I also work with an one/gynae consultant and today I was with him. I had to tell him so he could do all the heavy lifting etc I used to do. He insisted on doing blood work to get me dated abit better and said if I’m anxious he can get me in for an early scan.
I just need to chill and go with it.
im still peeing on ICs just to see line progression. But I think once I get bloods back etc… I’ll stop that.

@MrsAnonymous24 thats a good rise! Excellent news. And hopefully the scan will totally see your mind at ease. Great that you don’t have to wait too long for that! Have you started telling family or friends?

@Ncl31 more promising signs! Yay! And you have the classic sore boobs. I haven’t had those at all oddly, but then I never get that around af or anything. Are you feeling super confident now or are you still testing? I’m carrying on just for some way to see what’s happening! As I don’t have any other symptoms. Apart maybe from a full feeling and crappy feelings early on. Actually I think my main symptom was not have PMS anxiety/ depression this month!

Tests showing a darker line every day and temps staying up. Told my hairdresser yesterday as I think they can avoid too much scalp dye contact if they know. It was odd that she was only the third person I told after partner and twin! Saw friends last night and luckily dodged drinks as was driving but have a wedding this week and we’re staying in a hotel, and then we’re hosting NYE at our house. So I’m going to have to get crafty as people will expect me to drink!

@MrsAnonymous24 thats wonderful news. I hope you feel a little more relaxed about it all now seeing the rise?

I’ve been feeling fine, apart from sore boobs and I had a couple of episodes of heartburn this afternoon.
I’ve also felt some niggling/cramping pains today too but im assuming that’s all completely normal as everything is settling into my uterus….

how are you feeling otherwise?

@MrsAnonymous24 Got my fingers crossed for you.
what is the plan after this blood test? If it’s okay are they just going to monitor as normal?

@janfebmarchapril yes I was thinking how nice it is that we have three positives, whatever happens next!

re. Twins - wow! That would be amazing, I think we’d both like twins and there are lots on both sides of the family (although only the mother’s side counts I believe?). I think the main reason I’m a twin is because my mum had us later in life. But we are non-identical so it can def be passed down.

However - Im not sure how high my levels are as those results at 14/15dpo which I don’t think is super unusual. But let’s see! Maybe I’ll take another cb tomorrow and see if we’ve nudged into 3+!

@ForestWren i think it was 3rd or 4th December. Just going off my symptoms.

going to do another test tomorrow to see how it looks, fingers crossed it progresses.

we will tell my parents on Christmas Eve too all being well

Im so sorry for jumping on I just love seeing positive tests 🥺

@ForestWren when I saw your CB I thought oh twins, then saw you have a twin. 2-3 weeks this early is higgggh HCG, I wonder if you are having twins!

@MrsAnonymous24 I always had cramps with my pregnancies so try not to read too much into that even tho they're scary!

@Ncl31 congratulations!

I got a darker line on the easy@home test this morning so feeling good about things. Have told my twin (of course she said she already ‘knew’!) and think we’ll tell parents early doors on Xmas eve if all is well then.

Another really promising line @Ncl31 ! Any idea when you ovulated? Very exciting!

And great that your tests are progressing @MrsAnonymous24 - fingers crossed for all!

@MrsAnonymous24 @ForestWren

I done a boots early detection this morning…..

Oh wow @Ncl31 there is def a faint line there! Very exciting! Aware none of us want to get our hopes up but this is a great sign isn’t it. You’ll have to try again tomorrow morning and let’s hope it’s even stronger!

@ForestWren i honestly have no idea when it will start, I need baseline scans and bloods first.

However, I randomly done a test this evening…. Trying not to get my hopes built up though. Not really sure if I can see a line tbh.

Thanks @Ncl31 ! Ofc already planning to test again tomorrow to be sure.

Excellent news about the trails! It’s great to feel like you can have some control over these things. Will you start that next cycle?

@MrsAnonymous24 hope things continuing to progress for you - great news about the higher hcg!

@MrsAnonymous24 thats good news, hopefully it will continue to rise for you and everything goes well.

essentially due to PCOS I do not ovulated regularly at all which is why I have weird cycles etc… so they’ll give me some drugs which will hopefully get me ovulating properly which will give me the best chance.

@ForestWren goodness that’s amazing!
the CB digitals are usually pretty accurate, it says 2-3 weeks too and I’ve seen people with 1-2 weeks so I’d say you just have a good HCG level. Congratulations

Bit the bullet and tested early this morning and got a bfp! My temps were higher this morning but I’m still very shocked 😬 took the cheap one first then the clearblue. I think I can be quite confident in them right? I know CBs have a reputation?

@MrsAnonymous24 fingers crossed for you.
no sign of AF or BFP for me.
i have been to the fertility centre this morning and have had my weight checked. They’re happy for me to proceed onto the ovulation induction drug trial. So that’s a bonus if AF does arrive.

@ForestWren ive felt bloated the last few days and have had some usual face spots in the lead up to AF, my bbt looks as though it’s dropping today, I think I had mild cramp over night too.

its frustrating isn’t it, I’m so impatient too!

good luck and let us know when you do decide to test.

@MrsAnonymous24 good luck today, let us know how everything goes
