@RRAEE really hoping it’s the beginning of something. What tests did you use? Will you re-test tomorrow?

@Daniki oh bless you! And that’s nice that she never pried or nagged about it, bless her! Aww that’s so sweet what she said 🫶🏻.

Back to being physically sick this morning which is weirdly reassuring 😂. I keep getting these weird sharp twinges in my lower abdomen though which is throwing me off. Google says it’s just everything stretching but doesn’t feel stretchy.

My scan is at 11:20. Hoping and praying everythings okay 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Marie1990xshe didn’t say if she thought or not, she definitely wouldn’t ever ask or pry as she called to our house out of the blue when I was literally in the throes of the last miscarriage and seen how upset I was I think I traumatised her 😂🙈 but she said it was the best birthday present 🤣❤️ you won’t find it now til tomorrow what time is scan?

Daniki · 12/04/2025 09:09

@RRAEEah no 😭 but hopefully still early as you have a few days really with your cycles 🙏

@RRAEE oh no I’m so sorry it’s negative. Try stay positive though there’s still time. My frer was 100% negative the day before I got my obvious BFP so there’s still time! 🤞🏻

@Daniki hahaha did your MIL suspect it too? Nice not too long to see little baby again then!

Yeahhhhh think after Sundays it will go quicker, just obviously hoping everything’s okay then and then I think I’ll chill a bit 🤞🏻😂. Will only be 4 weeks from then until my NHS dating scan, so not too long to wait x

@Marie1990xsunday will fly in and I swear it will be 12 weeks in no time! 🤣 yep I have my booking app and scan on the 28th with the maternity hospital 🙌🏻 haha I know, my MIL was telling me that my mam was asking her did she think I was pregnant as I didn’t have a drink at my sons bday 🤣

@Daniki eeek amazing. So so exciting! Bet it’s been such a lovely day 🥰.
Hahah can’t hide anything from mums! Do you have another scan coming up? 🤣.

@Marie1990xoh go you! 🤣 iv salmon actually for dinner so will also feed good for eating some goodness 🤣 yes all surprised and my friends so happy as they know all the shit that has been going on over the last few years. My mam is over the moon, and said she suspected. I’d say she could see at my son’s bday party 🤣

@Daniki awwww lovely! Was everyone surprised? Bet it feels so much more real telling people. So happy it’s all working out 🥰.

Yeah I haven’t felt too bad this afternoon. I was craving a subway and that really helped. Now I’ve made a big crudites platter to have in the sun which is going down well and feel better for eating some goodness 🤣

@Daniki that’s amazing news, hopefully you can rest assured a bit now 🥰🥰. That’s really good she even looked for the gender this soon too! A girl and a boy would be perfect 🥰

OP posts:
Daniki · 11/04/2025 13:29

@Marie1990xno she couldn’t see any reason but did say it’s just so common with ivf pregnancies as we are on a lot of meds etc so hoping that’s just it! Yea I wondered that too I can’t really remember with my son if I was as sick it’s so long ago 🤣 I’d love a girl and a boy ❤️

Marie1990x · 11/04/2025 13:25

OP posts:
Daniki · 11/04/2025 11:21

Marie1990x · 11/04/2025 08:45

@Daniki fingers crossed everything is okay, I’m sure it will be 😊. Let me know how you get on of course.

Don’t feel too bad this morning, also don’t feel too sick so now I’m spiralling again, so glad I have my scan booked for Sunday 😅. I’ll be booking another one before the 12w one too at this rate!

Daniki · 11/04/2025 08:15
