Just got my BFP this morning. Only 11dpo on our 5th cycle but hoping for it to stick.

I already have 3 DC. DD (nearly 12), DS1 (8) and DS2 (nearly 4).

I have 3 early m/c in between my DC so very cautious at the moment.

Anyone want to join me?

Moggy if you see a heartbeat at an eight week scan your chance of miscarriage drops to around 2%. Having had an earlier scan and then a mmc before, I want to be able to have the reassurance of knowing that whatever the news is at the scan is likely to remain.

Victoria1981 · 12/03/2016 10:08

That is so good to know Moggy. I think we're going to have to tell everyone after the 8 week scan as the circle is wider than we'd like due to IVF- and on that note, welcome, Lynn! Feel free to PM me as I think us IVF ladies need each other!

We've come up to my parents this weekend to see them and celebrate and also so DH can meet our new baby niece Harriet. I met her the weekend after our embryo transfer and held her pretty much all day. I think she's partially responsible for our BFP, some kind of Baby Voodoo going on there for sure!

We've made the decision to tell my 90-year old Grandma today too... after that the circle stays as it is until 8 weeks when we hopefully see healthy heartbeat/s, please God.

In other news, my boobs are enormous and they look like a map with all the sexy blue veins. Every time I worry that I'm not really pregnant I give them a quick glance!

Good morning lovely ladies how are you all feeling ?

Hello and congratulations to the new comers Smile

Happy anniversary pickeled and can you please add me to the spear sheet? I'm due the 2nd November Star

Victoria1981 · 12/03/2016 10:10

Sorry, Fuzzy, it was you who had the reassuring news about the 8 week scan! Thank you!

Chocolatteaddict1 · 12/03/2016 10:11

IVF baby over here too!

Charlierhi · 12/03/2016 10:32

hello everyone- the drugs don't work. Sob. Like others have said its bizarrely reassuring but I'm terrified it's going to last as with DC1 (5.5 months!!). We've decided to start telling people even though I'm only 6w. I'm just so ill that we can't realistically expect to hide it anymore. Hohum, fx that doesn't create too much stress.

Oh for those with DCs wondering how they may react... DC1 "I wonder what name my baby will have? Can I watch a DVDs?" So clearly underwhelmed at the mo!

Tidythatmess · 12/03/2016 11:17

Hi everyone

6+3 and feeling yuck... Bloated, starving, nauseous, headache, irritable. So glad it's a Saturday and I have nothing planned.

floralflower · 12/03/2016 11:20

fuzzy I know what you mean about wanting to wait. I have to have one due to previous health probs so I'm just hoping everything will be fine other wise I would probably wait a bit longer

Spottyladybird · 12/03/2016 13:23

Had to undo my trousers today! Not even 7 weeks yet.

Marshpillow · 12/03/2016 13:24

I got my BFP yesterday! EDD is 20th November. Yesterday's IC was a proper squinter but today's IC was darker. I've got a clear blue digi waiting to be used on Monday when my period will officially be late.
I've got an 11 month old DD, there'll be about 20 months between her and this one if it sticks!

likeawestern · 12/03/2016 15:04

Hi ladies, can I join you? My edd is November 13th with number 3. I have two from a previous relationship, ds (12) and dd(9). My dh has no children and is being a tiny bit protective...

Baby40 · 12/03/2016 15:26

Hi western I'm due the same day! But first pregnancy congrats to you Grin xx

likeawestern · 12/03/2016 15:36

Thanks Baby, congrats to you too!

Lynn5 · 12/03/2016 15:40

Thanks very much everyone for the welcome and the congratulations.

Hi to Victoria and chocolate* nice to see some other IVF ladies.

Just now I can barely even say I'm pregnant. 1 because of all the bleeding and 2. Conceiving through IVF changes everything, I feel like my BFP Was just the next step in treatment and I'm waiting to do the next bit!!

Feeling sick the last few days which I'm genuinely loving as I'm taking that as a good sign. Pretty tierd too, just desperate for 3 weeks to pass to see if my 2 heartbeats have made it!!

Did you other IVF ladies have 2 embroys transfer? X

KateMossIsMyQueen · 12/03/2016 17:04

Welcome newbies! I'm waiting for DH to come home from a sea patrol before I tell him, so far I've known for TWO WEEKS and only told two of my best friends and one lady at work. It's killing me!

Had some v light bleeding and cramping over a few days this week, I've been told it's probably fine but I've been offered an early scan on Tuesday if it doesn't stop by then.

I only had nausea in week 4, now I'm fine and normal other than being knackered and having boobs that look like they should be attached to a barbie.

KateMossIsMyQueen · 12/03/2016 17:26

pickled can you update my stats please? I can't edit them! I have 0 previous DCs but I've put that I have 1 haha also my booking in appointment is 1st April!!

likeawestern · 12/03/2016 17:57

Oooooo KateMoss that must be awful!! How long do you have to wait before he's back?!?
Pickled please could you add my details too as I'm not able to edit. I'm from Leicestershire, everything else is in my previous post I think Smile

KateMossIsMyQueen · 12/03/2016 18:34

Hopefully only another week max! Could be any day now, I've got a gut feeling about tomorrow, but I have such a hectic week at work that it would probably be better if he came home Thurs / Fri.

Once he's home and I've told him the news I'm basically going to staple myself to him so he can make up for the last two weeks of fending for myself and our unborn child alone by eating the entire contents of our cupboard and bingeing on Netflix

likeawestern · 12/03/2016 20:00

The more you eat, the better chance you have of hitting all your food groups Wink. Hope he's back soon, I imagine you're fit to burst!! xxx

Victoria1981 · 12/03/2016 20:02

Hi Lynn, yes I did have two! I'd love for them both to still be in there but honestly we've waited so long for this, one healthy bubba would be enough. Not had any kind of scan yet so we'll see! God I hope it's all ok.

Spottyladybird · 12/03/2016 21:08

I've had some light pink discharge today. Feeling really negative as have had two MCs in the past. Not sure what to do next. Did a test and was a strong BFP.

Chocolatteaddict1 · 12/03/2016 21:15

Try not to worry spotty it could be just implantation spotting. X

Spottyladybird · 12/03/2016 21:17

Could be but I just feel so anxious that it'll be more. Am 6+2 so not sure if I'm past the implantation stage.

Chocolatteaddict1 · 12/03/2016 21:20

It could be anything. Have you had any cramps?

Can you book in for an early scan because of your privious mc?

Spottyladybird · 12/03/2016 21:23

Yep had a bit of cramping today.

I think I'll ring the midwife on Monday and see what she says. Feel worse as it's the weekend.
