THE DINO CLUB #1

Well definitely test straight away and let us know the results! 😀 @Lila34830

I went to the drs this morning, she was same age as me and absolutely amazing! Was like talking to a friend who could facilitate things for me. I now don’t live in London but I’m still not old (37) and can have IVF until I’m 42 here if I needed.

She was telling me that in the UK if u have ivf egg collection then they freeze the viable embryos for you (you then pay for cost of storage) which I thought was insanely appealing (I was thinking whether I should have my eggs frozen)

anyway I feel much more positive about it all and she was pretty confident I’d definitely have a baby and I feel relaxed to be back in the system

@littlebluu let us know how you’re getting on

Thank you 🥰

If i still haven't had a bleed by Friday I will still go ahead with the bloods just so I can get a clearer answer of what's going on, coz right now I'm just driving myself crazy over little lines and the fact I have absolutely no symptoms where ad before I couldn't keep eyes open and was having very slight metallic taste but now it's all vanished.

Im trying not to hang my hopes on line progression but seeing all conflicting information and opinions online. Just need to step away from the Internet and the tests.
Seeing many people say "a line means pregnant and thats that" - so trying to hold onto that thought but also trying to prepare myself 🤷🏻‍♀️🙏

Hi lassies,

So those tests did turn out to be bfp, got a slightly darker line confirming and a 1-2 week on a digital on 12DPO albiet with practically zero symptoms except exhaustion - unfortunately since then my tests haven't had any line progression and from yesterday have started to lighten 😞 I surmise either by tomorrow or Friday they'll be showing negative. Flo is saying I'm 5+1.

Could I ask, the girls who have dealt with chemicals, how did your line progression go? How far along did it start declining and how long after did you get your bleed?

I haven't had any spotting or anything thus far but I cant imagine it's too far behind.
I have blood tests booked for Friday and a viability scan booked for the 15th but it's not looking like ill be having to make those 😞

The positive im taking from this is that we now know we are able to get pregnant and that everything is working as it should, for the most part, just need a sticky lil fellow! 🙏

Thanks everyone 🩵

Any update @littlebluu ?!

ahhhh congratulations @curliegirlie so happy for you 🩷

@littlebluuI have everything crossed that those little lines will continue to darken. It’s such a headfuck when you don’t really know which DPO you’re on.

@Lila34830good luck with the preparations for the move back home. It will certainly keep you busy. What does that mean for maternity benefits? Are you changing jobs? Does that mean that you need to press pause for eligibility for mat pay, or are you going to NTNP in the meantime?

I’m now 4+6 and got these beauties last night and this morning so I’m finally starting to believe, as they’re darker than any I got back in March….

Going out of my head! Still no AF but tests aren't getting darker and 6 days early was also like an evap line!

Plz let me know what you think?

Officially 1 day late today but ive a feeling I just ovulated late and it's going to come on hard in tge next day or so 😩

🩵

Oh @littlebluu I can certainly see that line. Fingers crossed things do progress, it’s every 48 you’d expect your tests to darken but even then isn’t necessarily a bad thing if not. Keep us updated!!

Omg now I am jealous I love the SoF, healthcare is good in France so this is a win 😅

TMI but I am having the worst heavy AF! They are usually fine/fairly light and not a thing I ever even notice or have issues with. Therefore I am convinced with my early line maybe something happened and there will be extra happening next month 😀✨💖

Still nothing yet! Im sure I caught a tiny pinch of spotting yesterday which I assumed was AF coming right on time but had absolutely nothing since, and my tests are still showing what Im assuming is an evap line as its not getting darker - ive posted a pic plz lmk I'm not going mad 😆

Still getting all the usual AF cramping so my guess is it'll come today at some point. I only have one cheapie left, I think I'm thankful coz if things keep going this way ill drive myself mad with testing!

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday 🩵

Sounds like an amazing adventure @Lila34830 !! All the best for the future 🥲. But pleaseeeee do try to remember to keep us updated, even a year from now it would be so lovely to know how your getting on!!

omg @littlebluu you must let us know if AF has arrived or whether this is it!? I have everything crossed for you!

@Clara202 I hope having a plan in place brings you some comfort. Hopefully not long before you can start the process and fingers crossed it’s successful quickly.

@Toppstileslover im in Ireland so the publicly funded fertility treatment is under the HSE. Our issue could be just the morphology, or it could be the morphology and a blockage for all we know. I have read loads of people on here getting pregnant on 1% morph so I didn’t think it would be the only reason it wasn’t happening for us. I also seem to have varying luteal phases too. But I will bring this up once the fertility clinic that I’ve been referred to contact me. It is publicly funded, but it will be a private clinic. Any tests or treatment that we get there will be paid for.

Oh wow @Clara202 this is a lot to process!

Good news is (for you) if I’m reading right that sperm morphology is the challenge here and not you which is some reassurance? I know it’s not but if they’ve identified the problem then that helps?

Can I ask where you live? I live in Sussex and I think I’ve read that it’s private fertility here! DM if you’d rather. I haven’t had time to book my new appt yet, ironically my last referral was booked for the day I had my MMC removed and then we relocated.

@Lila34830 I hope the home country has mumsnet 😍

@Toppstileslover a bit of a strange update on the Hycosy. I attended my public appointment to have it done. The public appointment was to eventually get referred for ivf after all scans tests etc. The consultant told me not to bother with the Hycosy as the morphology test was 1% again for the second time. She said why put yourself through an invasive test and open yourself up to infection when I’m going to refer you for publicly funded icsi anyway. So she has referred us for publicly funded treatment and I should be called within the next 6 weeks by a private fertility clinic. In one way I’m delighted to have been approved but in another I had it in my head that the Hycosy was going to clean everything out and that I was going to fall pregnant naturally soon after. But maybe with 1% morph that was just wishful thinking.

@curliegirlie congratulations! 🥰

Hello ladies!

I've just been creeping in the background this whole time reading all of your updates, we haven't been able to try much just due to my husband working away every single ovulation week 😅

This is the first month we've been able to track and try properly, currently 10DPO with AF due today but nothing yet, had a real squinter with a cheapie but I'm telling myself it's just an evap line because ive been getting all of my usual AF symptoms and been dull cramping all through the night, so I suspect AF to show up at some point today as its normally like clockwork.

I hope youre all doing well in your journeys wherever that may be, we've got this 💪💪

🩵

Urgh so annoying @Lila34830 but clearly the world has other plans for you!! This project must be very important, I feel like everything must happen for a reason. Good luck with the project and one day soon I’m sure you’re gonna see those two lines!

Oh soft congratulations @curliegirlie I hope things progress perfectly for you this time! Keep us updated if you feel upto it 😊

Hello all, I’ve been a bit quiet on this thread but I actually got another BFP just over a week ago. I’m astounded as it’s never ever been this quick before. I’m just waiting for the stage that I can properly believe it now….

Down but not out sis! You might as well keep idly trying the couple of weeks after AF whilst you’re not trying. In hindsight I wish we’d been trying while not trying (we weren’t not trying but could have been more pointed with windows of not trying!)

Main thing is I am trying not to doom scroll and stay off things about loss or bad vibes etc. lots of manifesting, soooo much visualising and guns of steel! 😍 have just had a bath for the first time in 6 weeks so the chi is so restored (no hot water in that bathroom not a filth offender lol)

@Clara202 how did your hycosy go? ❤️
