@Marie1990x no only a small bit, but the possible ectopic etc still plays a bit on my mind. I took the clearblue indicator yest and got a 3+ which was good as indicates my levels are where they should be (I hope lol)
Haha I tried it too but we needed more intervention! Defo acupuncture, if only for the relaxing benefits alone! I used to have a lovely lady I went to during my losses but she moved, devo!

@Daniki is that the cough medicine one? I've tried it before but obviously nothing 😂. I have been looking into acupuncture so I might give that a whirl at some point. Feel like I'm scraping the barrel now so solutions 😅.

Oh god typical! Was it a lot of spotting or just a bit? At least you have the scan super soon to put your mind at ease. I'm still feeling positive for you 🥰

@Marie1990x omg 2 days? Stop I was going to say the same it feels like no time 🤣🤣 didn't try the mucinex method? Worth a try, I seen it all over TikTok (how reputable 🤣) I have a scan in the morning thank god, made it yest so that I can get the prescription for Clexane if pregnancy is in the right place but just happened to have some spotting then today 🙈 typical!

@Daniki nooo I really hope everything is fine! When is your scan? Keep me updated. I was going to msg you the other day seeing how you were getting on, but I don't come on here as often at this time of my cycle 😂.

I'm good thanks. Will be entering my fertile week in 2 days, it's gone so so quick! Feels 2 mins ago that I was obsessively testing. Obviously not expecting much out of it but trying to stay positive 😊

@Marie1990x in for a scan in the morning to see what's going on, hoping for good news but have had spotting today so most likely not 🥴 how are you getting on?

@Daniki well that's positive that they're happy with the results. It's probably the being out of control and feeling the need to have some kind of control over it. But that's great that they're happy with it!

@Marie1990x so the doc cancelled my bloods this morn she doesn't see the need she said my results were better than expected. So we'll see! I think it might be better for me to just wait now to the scan so I'm not obsessing and anxious. Iv been a bit more relaxed just accepting maybe it wasn't good news so going to try and stay in that mindset 🙈

@whatdoyouthink123456 awww that's lovely ☺️ something to look forward to!

Woop glad you've got your peak! I'd usually do it day of peak and day after, but obviously it's not working for me 😂.

Yeah I'm feeling ok thank you. Trying to keep the faith but it is hard sometimes isn't it! Probably won't try as hard this cycle and start again properly when I get the meds.

@Daniki ahh that'll be good to see your bloods get higher, and like you say keep you going until your scan ☺️

@whatdoyouthink123456 oh how exciting!! Hope this month works for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm feeling more positive but I know not out of the woods yet. Getting them repeated tomorrow so hopefully that be a bit of good news for me next week to tide me over to the scan the following week 🤣

whatdoyouthink123456 · 20/02/2025 22:03

Hi everyone,

How are you getting on?

@Daniki that's great news about your bloods. How are you feeling now?

@Marie1990x how are you feeling? Sorry this month wasn't successful 👎🏼

I got my +OPK this morning! CD20 which feels soo long but I had the same length last month! We DTD last night. How many nights after do you normally do?

We have just this week booked our wedding for this July! 🎉 I'm secretly hoping that Sod's Law will kick in and il be pregnant by then! It's not my dream to get married pregnant but I don't want to not get married waiting to get pregnant 🫠

Daniki · 20/02/2025 17:03

@Marie1990x yea delighted with that, will just remain guarded until after the scan 🙏

@Marie1990x so they rang there and they're really happy with it, and have booked me in for viability scan on the 6th march when I should hopefully be 7+1 so 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Marie1990x · 20/02/2025 14:44

@Daniki hopefully they won't leave you waiting too long. Definitely sounds positive though 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Marie1990x I'm hoping soon enough! The nurse just said she would get the consultant to review and then get back on to me. Iv due stealers this morning too so hoping it's just a slow starter 🙈

Marie1990x · 20/02/2025 11:00

@Daniki oh amazing news! When will the clinic be in touch? Sounds promising though 🥰

OP posts:
Daniki · 20/02/2025 10:40

@Marie1990x so I got my beta results back they were 350, so defo more than doubled just waiting on clinic to review them and see what they say!

Marie1990x · 18/02/2025 12:30

@Daniki perfect that she'll text you the results 😊. Hopefully it is quicker than you think!

Haha yeah, I'm not sure how well relaxing goes with ttc 🤣🤣

OP posts:
Daniki · 18/02/2025 10:16

@Marie1990x exactly! Some clinics don't even do blood tests so you would be happy days with these tests waiting on your viability scan and probably going in to brought down to earth 🙈 the nurse will text me the results she's very good! Yea prob a one off, and do try and relax this cycle but of course I know how hard that is 🤣

Marie1990x · 18/02/2025 08:49

@Daniki I've only ever had 1 progesterone blood test and it was 59 so seemingly no issues with that, I think must have been a one off.
Yeahhhh we will try again this month but will try to keep it relaxed and not overthink everything. I'm not going to buy any HCG tests (famous last words 😂). When I was inputting my AF into my app, it came up with the new cycle stats and if we conceived this month it would be the same DD as my daughters 🤣 she was 2 weeks late though. Would be typical though.

Aghhh I bet! Thing is, if it wasn't IVF and you finally got your dye stealer you probably wouldn't even think twice about it would you. Will they call you with the results and/or send them to your fertility clinic?

OP posts:
Daniki · 18/02/2025 07:58

@Marie1990x does your progesterone be low? I have low progesterone in general so I always have that brown spotting before AF sometimes from 9/10dpo! You should have a fun relaxed month this cycle before your hycosy! Yea hopefully just a slow burner, god the wait to get results will kill me 🤣

Marie1990x · 18/02/2025 07:33

@Daniki oh that's amaaaaaaazing! Hopefully it's just been a slow burner but getting there now 🥰. Such good news, hoping it continues for you and your bloods are very positive!

AF has just arrived bang on time. Relieved tbh as last month I had weird spotting before which I never do and 4 days late

OP posts:
Daniki · 18/02/2025 07:13

@Marie1990x yep we have 4 embryos left on ice! So my tests this morning are the darkest and a line stealer and the clearblue says 2-3. I'm 5 weeks tomorrow so thought it would be 3+ but happy it doesn't say 1-2! Get my bloods done at 12 tho so will see in a few days what they say!

Marie1990x · 17/02/2025 22:25

@Daniki yeah definitely best to keep testing with the same ones. Especially with the cheapies not being as sensitive, don't think I ever got a blazing positive with those.
Hopefully it's not an eptopic. If your bloods are still off what will they do then?
Well hopefully it doesn't come to that, but what would you do if it does? Another round?

OP posts:
Daniki · 17/02/2025 21:48

@Marie1990x I didn't this morn as wanted to leave 2 days between tests, but took a boot cheapie, the 25miu one and it was a bit lighter than I'd like but it would of been only an hour hold wee so I just disregarded it! Will see how the other one compares in the morning to Sundays one! Ah I know but iv never had a good outcome with it before so it's just a habit to think the worst 🤣 strangely I am ok, my worst fear is an ectopic or a drawn out miscarriage so if it is a chemical I hope it happens quick and I can plan the next one 🙈
