Morning all :) AF arrived yesterday so cd2 for me!

@becarefuloutthere ahhh so glad everything went well lovely! It's looking up for you!!!

@miw01 awwh sounds so tough! I feel like the nhs looks at one problem and ignore the rest! Yep I also am reading it starts with an egg

And I am totally the same now with pregnancy announcements, I used to be joyful and now I am like oh great! My sisters boyfriends sister (my sisters sister in law haha) just announced she is pregnant and I am so sad because my sister is like ahhhh cant wait to be an aunty and in my mind I am like my baby should have been the first one in the family (even if it is a different side haha). My sister doesnt have any kids and this will be her first niece and I know she will spoil and love her but its gonna be hard to see that when my baby should already be here being spoilt and loved (rant over 😂)

@Sjhigs @polejunkie I don’t feel quite so negative this morning thankfully, although there’s still time for the progesterone to kick in! 😂 Just want it to be Thursday so I can test and feel confident that the answer is accurate and then move on with it all!
I’ve had period cramps since yesterday and they are driving me mad!! How are you both doing? x

Sjhigs · 13/07/2021 10:41

@crazycatlady1981 I'm still so up and down I think it's such an anxious wait

@polejunkie kept my morning pee and just got another frer paranoid now that it looks lighter 🤦‍♀️

Sjhigs · 13/07/2021 10:46

@polejunkie also got hcg bloods today a docs so I can compare with Mondays results x

polejunkie · 13/07/2021 10:48

@crazycatlady1981 glad you're feeling ok today, it's certainly up and down that's for sure x
@Sjhigs don't overthink it, you've had lines everyday and they got very strong, but bloods will confirm - fingers are well and truly crossed for you. It's sad though isn't it, what this journey does to you? Even with a bfp there is so much concern, disbelief and anxiety x

Sjhigs · 13/07/2021 10:53

@polejunkie and then it'll be the next 12 scans I think il maybe chill after 12 weeks then it'll be labour then worrying about them for the rest of your days lol this is life now lol xx

crazycatlady1981 · 13/07/2021 11:12

@Sjhigs good luck with your bloods today! 🤞🏻x
What I wouldn’t give to be one of those blissfully ignorant fertile unicorns who doesn’t even realise they’re pregnant until about 10 weeks along! 😂 All this worry and anxiety is excruciating!!

polejunkie · 13/07/2021 11:21

@crazycatlady1981 don't forget those surprise toilet births!!

Sjhigs · 13/07/2021 11:59

The dream ladies how appropriate for our chat this morning 🙈

@Annny27
Know exactly what you mean. Was a tough one seeing my OH's family with the first granchild. Can't help but feel that really should've been us in that position but just one of those things

crazycatlady1981 · 13/07/2021 17:04

@Sjhigs @polejunkie lol! How does that even happen!!?? It’s madness!!

@Annny27 sorry that af arrived 😔 x

Sjhigs · 13/07/2021 18:23

@annny27 that's how I felt with my hubs side I was furious 🙈 so bad I wanted the first aswell lol but they're all boys and so are all the sons too so maybe il get the first girl 😂 🤰🤰🤰 x

Sjhigs · 13/07/2021 19:49

@polejunkie best of luck for the morning 💕💕💕 il be thinking about you.. So funny my husband said to me the other day how's your mate pole junkie getting on 😂😂 like we're beasties or something all he's heard the past few weeks is polejunkie and @crazycatlady1981 😂😂😂

polejunkie · 13/07/2021 19:52

@Sjhigs thanks lovely 🥰 I’ll update you all either way🤞🏼
Haha that’s funny, I’ve been keeping my OH updated too, he’s like ‘how’s your mumsnet crew’ ‘ask your mumsnet crew’ lol x

Sjhigs · 13/07/2021 19:55

@polejunkiei would love to put a face to the name lol private message me your insta of you have one xx

Narwhal88 · 13/07/2021 21:28

Good luck @polejunkie 💕

crazycatlady1981 · 13/07/2021 22:25

@polejunkie lots of luck for tomorrow!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💕 keeping everything crossed for you!

@Sjhigs I keep updating my DH on how everyone in the group is getting on after the ECs and transfers!! 😬 Not sure he always wants all the details, but I like to keep him informed anyway!! 😂

Annny27 · 13/07/2021 22:38

Got everything crossed for you @polejunkie

@sjhigs @belle2210 glad I am not the only one wanting to have been the first haha!

@crazycatlady1981 thanks lovely! How are you feeling now? When are you testing?

Sunbird24 · 14/07/2021 03:56

Good luck today @polejunkie!

@Annny27 don’t worry, your baby when it comes will be extra special to your sister as her first ‘blood’ niece or nephew Flowers

@Sjhigs totally agree, think it would be great to just find out you were about 32 weeks - far enough along that most of the risk is reduced but enough time left to get your life together and buy a few essentials! How were your bloods?

@MIW01 I’m so sorry your journey has been so tough, really hoping you get a positive outcome soon Flowers

@crazycatlady1981 only one more day to go! I’m so impressed you’ve managed to hold out!

I’m loving the thought of various husbands being updated on everyone’s progress Grin It’s a bit lonely doing it all on your own, and I haven’t even told my parents I’ve had another transfer because I know they’ll be more worried than excited now.

polejunkie · 14/07/2021 04:50

I got a faint positive, tbh I would have expected it to be darker 😬 not sure what to make of it, might test again in a bit, wees at 1am and been guzzling water in the night because of my sore throat 🤷🏼‍♀️
Thanks for all your well wishes xxx

Sunbird24 · 14/07/2021 04:59

Ooh, positive’s good! Do you think you’re just a bit too diluted?

Sunbird24 · 14/07/2021 05:00

I can see it!

polejunkie · 14/07/2021 05:03

@Sunbird24 perhaps? I had to get up twice in the night to go for a wee so that in itself won’t of helped, almost feel none the wiser! May have to retest later!

Sjhigs · 14/07/2021 05:50

@polejunkie I can't believe it 🙈🙈🙈 honesty thst like is good buy some frers my cheapie strips still aren't as dark as the control do you know what make it is so you can check hcg level... Eeeeeek how exciting x
