@becarefulouttheregoing to try and stay in my bubble although I did buy a test 🤭 petrified!!! Hope your scan goes ok, exciting!

@Sunbird24 @Annny27 not testing today and probably won’t have the guts with fmu before work so weds it is (I think!!) gosh the anxiety is so real x

@becarefuloutthere good luck wuth scan 🍀
Was there days early on when you didn't feel anything I've felt nothing today again is this the way it goes 🙈 x

@Annny27 thank you!! It's at 130 😬
@polejunkie buying a test is ok, just keep in that bubble as long as possible! Aw thank you 🙏🏾
@Sjhigs thank you. I was cramping pretty much the whole time but I put that down to the progesterone, who knows tho! 🤷🏾‍♀️
Everyone is different, try your best to keep calm, I know it's hard!

Morning ladies just a little pic update now I'm home I used my fertility monitor aswell this morning which is 50 ml so feeling a little more confident this morning tempted to go to docs for bloods so I can compare with my clinic on Monday or an I being a real mentalist??? 🙈 X

@Sjhigs that progression is fantastic, you must be over the moon! Time to allow yourself to believe you got a bfp 🎉 well deserved!! I probably wouldn’t do bloods yet, my GP probably wouldn’t see me this early but ask if it would help you feel more confident!

No update from me, sick as a dog, really feeling quite sorry for myself and refusing to test x

@polejunkie yea it's settling me a bit my docs are really good but hard to get a bloods appointment on the day its a holiday over here so unless they can take me tomo/wed morning il not have results on time. Aww I dunno how you're doing it I would've caved by now 🙈
@crazycatlady1981 what about you?
@Sunbird24 any update?
@becarefuloutthere which scan is this today? X

@clolo thank you gorgeous
@Sjhigs you're defo pregnant darling! 🥳 when's otd again? Monday? I called the nurses the day I tested rather than otd and got booked in for my viability scan straight away! Does your place confirm with bloods then?
@polejunkie feeling sick is good when it comes to this! I felt sick early on too. Hold out a bit longer but please don't give up hope yet! You're not bleeding either are you so it's all good signs so far!

@Sjhigs 8 week scan today although I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. This is what they call the viability scan. To see the heartbeat basically and discharge me from the assisted conception unit.

@becarefuloutthere they want me next Monday which is 14dp its far too long they told me not to test (like I was ever going to listen) but I think they leave it so long to save people the heartache of chemicals which I totally understand. I paid private so they'll have me up for my viability they'll give me a date on Monday as long as everything goes to plan after that I'm turfed out onto NHS soil again lol how are you feeling excited?? x

@Sjhigs I don’t think I want to test because I’m convinced it’s all over, I have nearly caved a couple of time but don’t fancy doing it before a day at work so 🤷🏼‍♀️
@becarefuloutthere so you’ll officially be discharged after today’s scan, that’s such a milestone!! I’m so ill with cough and sore throat etc, got pulling pains in my stomach and can’t stop salivating, boobs have been sore throughout but I know that aside from the cold this all all be from the progesterone, waaaah! Not bleeding, so all good on that front. I feel like I could be pregnant but then I remind myself it could just be the pessaries, rollercoaster much! X

Still there!

@Sunbird24 brilliant 🙏🙏 let's hope it only gets darker xx

@Sjhigs 14dp is defo late! My otd was on 11dp and I tested 9dp. Will you keep testing until Monday now then? Excited and nervous for today!
@polejunkie I think so yeah. 😬
All really good signs hun, just a while longer and you can confirm or deny!
@Sunbird24 defo an obvious line there, I think you're onto a winner! 🏆

Yesss @Sunbird24!! X

@becarefuloutthere I'm not sure what to do il say I won't but at the same time want to make sure it's still there lol well I am the complete opposite to you I felt my implantation I know now it was it the feeling I got when I laughed and coughed but I've felt nothing for a few days now other than hunger like raving hunger and a slight stuffy nose odd little pain shoots through my head il be happy for it to stay like that too lol x

@becarefuloutthere also up since 3am 🤦‍♀️

@becarefuloutthere good luck for your scan today 💕

I’m about 99% sure it’s all over for me! I noticed last night that the crinone applicator wouldn’t go in as far as usual and then checked this morning and my cervix has dropped right down low! 😭 On top of that my RHR has dropped over the last 2 days and my boobs stopped being sore a few days ago, so I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion it’s going to be negative. I’m going to test on maybe wed or Thursday with a FRER just to be sure as that little part of me is still holding onto the dream, but I’m fairly certain I already know the answer. Completely devastated right now but I do have a little Frostie left so that gives me some hope! 💕

@crazycatlady1981 sorry to read this lovely, I mean you’re not out yet but I can totally understand why you’re preparing for that outcome. This messes with your head doesn’t it, I feel like I’m not coping well anymore, definitely getting harder as the wait goes on! I take my hat off to all the ladies on this journey 💕 it’s certainly not easy. Hold onto to the thought of the frostie if things don’t turn out well when you test x

@becarefuloutthere good luck with the scan today!

Aww @crazycatlady1981 as this thread always says, it's not over until it's over, but having those physical feelings and noticing changes must be devastating :( hoping your test on Thursday gives you some hope xx

@Sjhigs I think I felt mine too tbh, I certainly felt something for a good few days. Had constant cramps so think it was implantation and settling in. Ooh 3am ouch! Bet you're tired today!
@crazycatlady1981 thank you 😊
Ah sorry you think you're out! Good idea to test in a few days to be sure. Very pleased you have a frostie waiting for you! 💕
@Tofu35 thank you 😊 how are you getting on?

It's solid smile day, so warpaint on and conception is go! Although we're in the "do every second day" camp, but this is the time where all best moves need to deployed @becarefuloutthere

The last few months I've not drank at all, thinking that would help matters. This month, caution has been thrown to the wind as we were in a posh cocktail place and I didn't fancy being designated driver again! Plenty of time for that when we get the bfp 😝

Thank you @polejunkie @Tofu35 @becarefuloutthere 💕💕
Yeah I’m feeling really messed up right now, and I’ve been an emotional wreck since last week, just randomly crying every morning for no good reason!! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m putting it down to the progesterone so at least if I get a negative I can stop taking it and then hopefully my head will sort itself out and I can focus on happier things! 🙂

Keeping everything crossed for all you lovely ladies and please don’t feel that you can’t share your joy even if I get a bfn this week!! It’s so nice that there are finally some happy endings for the donkeys in our group!! 😊 xx

@crazycatlady1981 you aren't out yet it's a real roller-coaster I still go to bed ta night thinking I'm going to be out the next day again as well my boobs are honestly not a bit sore anymore I feel completely normal prob the most normal I've felt since I started that pill ages ago crossing everything for you 🥰🥰🥰 xxxx

@Tofu35 yes it is indeed! Happy bonking then 😄
The motto goes "drink till it's pink" so enjoy the cocktails for sure!!
@crazycatlady1981 the progesterone is horrible isn't it. Hopefully I'll get to stop it this week, be interesting to see if I feel any different off it. Are you still working this week? Perhaps some time off is on the cards if poss, you need some self care 😴
