@NicoleR14 Oh fingers crossed this is it!! 😁How are you feeling?

dizzy85 · 25/05/2022 07:59

@NicoleR14 Omg congratulations I am keeping everything crossed for you that this is it! Try and stay calm and relaxed and just be good to your body.
I know it's scary when you have a little bleed but I had 2 pink bleeds this time round one at the beginning and one about 8 weeks or so and it turned out it was just where she's implanting and growing so stay positive❤️
As for me I have 8 days left until her due date!!! Madness! Trying to get in as much resting as I can and wait for the big day xxx

NicoleR14 · 25/05/2022 08:08

@Shaker21 @shelly10111 @dizzy85 thank you ladies it was the quickest pink spotting I've ever had it was over within half an hour have another beta test book for tomorrow but I'm not worried about the spotting at all I've herd implantation bleeding can last a little while after implantation as it gets deeper in and grows lol so I'm very positive about this baby I hope it's a sticky one 🤞🏼🥰 @dizzy85 omg only 8 more days I'm so excited for you!! Can't wait to see a photo of your little angel 🥰🥰it was quiet scary have a show after getting such a positive result but when I told the clinic they said they weren't worried at all because my HCG levels was 132 and women that usually go in around the same time as I did their HCG is 75 or something like that so I'm really please my level was a bit higher lol but.. over all how are you doing especially giving birth in a few days 🙈!

dizzy85 · 25/05/2022 08:47

@NicoleR14 aww I'm so happy for you🥰and that's it, your levels are high it's all good signs all you can do now is relax. Do they give you regular scans aswell with the ivf? How do you feel?

I am actually doing good at the mo, I have been reading lots about hypnobirthing and trying to get it to sink in as I would really love to be able to try doing it without any pain relief etc, I've been practicing all the breathing techniques and hoping on the day I can get my head into zen mode 😆🤞 we will see how the reality goes tho haha..I'm nervous and excited I just can't wait to meet her and see her little face. I have loved every second of being pregnant and I'm gonna miss her being inside me wriggling about. It's the best feeling.🥰

Shaker21 · 30/05/2022 18:53

@NicoleR14 how are you getting on? Feeling OK?

@dizzy85 not long to go now!! Is it 3 days till due date?

dizzy85 · 01/06/2022 11:03

@Shaker21 hey hope your good? It is now 1 day to go but no huge signs yet. I have midwife this afternoon and she's gonna offer me a sweep but I'm not sure if I'll have it or wait a bit longer 😬

NicoleR14 · 01/06/2022 12:55

@dizzy85 @Shaker21 thank you! I am really relaxed now we will get regular scans with the clinic my scan is 17th of this month so 16 more days until we get to see our wee bundle of joy! I've had quiet bad nausea and my sense of smell has hightened unbelievably I've had cramps and pains my boobs have already doubled in size and so have my nipped I am 5weeks+2days today and I am honestly so excited to hear about your gorgeous baby girl coming only 1 day left you must be through the roof with excitement and nerves good luck for it all it'll be so worth it every second of it! @Shaker21 that's good news! How have you been getting on with your cycle?

Shaker21 · 01/06/2022 13:28

@NicoleR14 Ahh that is so good to hear! I am so happy for you! That is crazy about your sense of smell and your boobs already doubled! I am doing good, I think I am maybe 4DPO today...I had quite a bit of EWCM on Friday afternoon and woke up feeling a lot hotter than usual Sunday so I think I ovulated Saturday. AF normally comes 12/13DPO by at least next Friday if she was going to show. So I will test Saturday if she hasn't shown. I am feeling quite chilled which I think the scan has helped with that and also having the bank holiday weekend and having plans so not thinking too much and symptom spotting hopefully will help!

NicoleR14 · 01/06/2022 13:43

@Shaker21 that's really good to hear ewcm was never something I experienced while TTC I only got it every so often but when I got my scans to check my ovaries, womb and uterus I was extremely fertile when having my eggs grown and removed I had 37/38 that had grown to the size they needed to be and had 24 removed and 21 of those were mature and ready for his sperm lol whenever someone had told me they had ewcm and knew they were ovulating I always thought there was something wrong with me because I had never got it, I really tried not to symptom spot when I had my embryo transfer but it's impossible not to your always looking for the tiniest of symptoms on 4 days pat 5 day transfer I was in severe pain in my left side couldn't sit or stand and when I spoke to the clinic they had said that was implantation taking place I don't understand how people don't know they are pregnant for months when I literally had every symptom there is after that, my husband's cousin didn't know she was pregnant until 5 months into pregnancy even my sister she didn't know she was having her twins until 3 months in and now I can't understand how they didn't know when I've literally felt everything maybe that's because I've been looking for it but it's so strange symptoms are literally everything 😂 I feel like I've rambled on in this post lol x

Shaker21 · 01/06/2022 14:05

@NicoleR14 Its funny you should say that because this is the first month of mine I have noticed it. I didn't really notice anything couple of months back, month before this one I tried evening primrose oil tablets which I had heard was suppose to increase CM but I only seemed to get ALOT of creamy and nothing EWCM when I was actually ovulating so to get EWCM this month when I haven't even been taking anything or doing anything to try and increase it is really good for me! Yeah I agree it is really hard not to notice the smallest things...I can notice every twinge or cramp even when I'm not thinking about it just sitting at my desk at work so not sure how many can not notice anything at all. My colleague has just said earlier her cousin has just found out she is 6 months pregnant and didn't know and I am the same as you and don't understand how that could be! Is really funny that you noticed implantation pain that much, even when you look online it says that implantation isn't felt because of how miniscule the egg is it wouldn't be noticed but is so nice to know it can be felt. I really can't wait to get that positive test 😁x

ArjaD · 01/06/2022 16:04

Aw good luck to you all girls! I'm still following all your stories even though we are now out of the race,but we are proudly preparing for our perfect boy.to start P1 in august. I'll be bawling my eyes out!

@NicoleR14 I am lost for words! All these years and you are finally getting your turn 😭🥲 - so bloody thrilled for you it's put such a smile on my face !! Look at that little bubba! So exciting ! We are good thank you, little one is now a year and a half old, I spend my days chasing him but still utterly obsessed, we spend more time watching videos of him in the evening than watching any other tv ! Xxx

Jenrhox · 13/08/2022 00:49

I came across the first thread for this a few days ago and I've literally sat reading everyone's comments so invested in all your journeys 🥺 just wanted to see how your all doing? Me and my OH will have been trying for two years come next month, after three miscarriages I still hold some hope 🙏

ArjaD · 13/08/2022 07:48

@jenrhox it's been some journeys huh? So sorry to hear about your wait but your time will come! Will keep it all crossed for you XXX it's never an easy journey is what I have learned from it all. I still struggle with losing our second every day but my boy is going to school next week so it's been amazing to see him go through nursery and bloom 😍

Hi @Jenrhox. That is exactly how I came across the thread and felt so invested in how everything turned out for the girls on the thread. I am currently still ttc #1...I am CD9 of cycle 8. Sorry to hear about your miscarriages, I can imagine every single one must have been really hard. 💕

Of @NicoleR14 story really for so so long and to see scan pics etc is just wonderful and new babies coming into the world, they don't realise how loved they are by all the trauma of getting them here in your arms 🥲
