Exciting @sjhigs :D miss a day and test on sunday and it will be easier to see it getting darker!! :D xxx

@becarefuloutthere only 3 days untill you get to see bubba on scan 💙

@clolo ok, good you have appointments coming up then and can formulate a POA. Exciting times! Yeah that's right, just 3 days now eek 😬
@Sjhigs ah I really hope so too! Will you daily test with FRER then to see line progession?
@crazycatlady1981 yeah good idea! Yeah on Monday. Stupidly made no plans this weekend so better start thinking of things to do! Weird wanting Monday to come early 😂
@Annny27 ahh I know! Excited and nervous at the same time! I wish it was like America where you get to find out the sex of the embryo before transfer. Good to have something else to look forward to tho I suppose!

Thanks everyone still not getting ahead of myself
@becarefuloutthere yes for my own peace of mind it will just play on my mind all day if I don't I'm think I'm actually mentally more prepared for something going wrong than it going right was 90% sure going into ivf I wouldn't even get this far never mind a positive it's just been so long you don't think anything is going to happen but I'm looking at today as a positive that I have found out that I can actually get pregnant so I'm happy about that... Babysteps literally 😂😂😂 x

@Sjhigs bless you, it's a well deserved line and I'm hoping and praying it gets darker for you over the coming days! What a journey IVF is, especially after all the time TTC prior to it x

@Sjhigs it's a great feeling isn't it! TF for ivf and modern medicine!! Baby steps indeed 😂

[quote Tofu35]@crazycatlady1981 I don't think we're supposed to go private while we wait for the NHS queue to go down, but the person we spoke to said that there would be no way for them to check what we have done private unless we disclose. They did mention that any privately frozen embryos couldn't be part of our NHS treatment. So would need to think about that, and any cost implications of trying with our private frozen ones before going back to NHS?

Ooft head melting!

@thislittlebird, I contacted my gp surgery who was able to check through my records (I'm also older than the MMR programme!). I read about the months waiting but now I'm on an IVF waiting list, maybe I'm not as worried about skipping some months? Although ask me when it's happening and I'll be telling you how frustrating and miserable it is to miss two potential months![/quote]
Sorry @Tofu35, missed the reply yesterday.

I'm not on the waiting list yet due to many errors and delays (waiting for a referral), so right now it looks like I'll be delayed starting private too if I don't have antibodies. I've been trying to get help for months and it feels like there's constant obstacles. Let's see what the results say!

@thislittlebird fingers crossed you have those antibodies!

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker thanks pal, I'll look at those recommendations! Glad one helped with feelings of anxiety, I am very much in that boat just now!

@Sjhigs looks promising! Everything crossed for you that the line gets darker.

@becarefuloutthere how are you getting on? I'm still lurking and reading updates in between sickness. Are you getting a scan soon?

@Theawkwardblonde can't believe you're still being sick! Should go soon right? I'm ok, feel sick almost constantly but not being sick. Yeah it's on Monday!! 😬

@becarefuloutthere how far does this put you now? Are you excited for the scan? 🤩
Honestly it's never ending. I don't actually remember what is like to not feel sick 😂😂 praying it should be going soon as I'm nearly 16.

@Theawkwardblonde I'll be 7+6 on Monday. Yeah excited and nervous in equal measure! Gosh I really hope it does go soon, doesn't sound fun at all!

@thislittlebird when will you get your antibodies results by? Really hope things start to speed up for you soon!

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker ooh not long to go then! A tww at the start of the process and at the end!
Yes been thinking I'll be able to! I'll be 14 weeks by the time it's our anniversary and hoping to be in Santorini 🤞🏾ours is just before the bank holiday but well remembered! Do you have anything planned for yours?

I caved and bought 3 cheapies at Asda with my shopping. Only 4dp5dt, so let’s see how long I can hold out with them in the house! No symptoms at all so far…

@Sunbird24 good luck!! Try and wait until 7dp5dt rooting for you!

@Sunbird24 hold on if you can, I’m 7dp5dt tomorrow and I’m in a black hole, test, don’t test, if I test will I believe the outcome… I can’t wait until OTD, I’m going crazy already urgh!! I’m really trying to not put myself through the uncertainty of a test yet lol x

@polejunkie I was like that, and 9dp5dt was when I caved. At least you'll know it won't be the trigger by then and it'll be definite result either way. Best of luck 🤞🏾

I got BFPs at 8/9 days post transfer the last two attempts, so reckon I’m good until then…

@Sunbird24

@Sunbird24 try hold off fingers crossed for you xx

@Sjhigs have you tested? X

The only test I’m taking today is a COVID test, so ill - headaches, cough and sore throat, alongside sore boobs and backache 😩 sore sore sore!

@polejunkie yes pretty similar to yesterday left is yesterday's pic took within 3 min still not sure scared its a chemical the others are dried out another wait till the morning lol I've been getting headaches it's so weird like a shooting through my uterus then it goes straight to my temples paracetamol doesn't work. Covid is not nice company I felt like my eyeballs were going to explode x
