Hi all I am currently 1DPO.
Anyone else entering their TWW? Smile
or if you're further along in your cycle how many DPO are you and do you have any symptoms?
My period is due 20th of August.
Xx

@Teaandcrumpets95

I don't know if this is a symptom, I kinda hope not as it's weird...I've noticed I've got really bad b.o today which isn't like me, and I don't mean I'm sweaty I just stink 😂

Doesn't make sense I had a shower this morning and have gone through 7 layers or deodorant today. Finished work and had to wash again and change clothes 😓

That's surely hormonal... so... it might well be!!!

Hello ladies, hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread. I had IVF last week and am 5 days past a 5-day embryo transfer (which I think makes me about 10dpo). My official test date is the 21st but I’m a poas addict so obviously couldn’t wait that long 🤣 I tested yesterday with a frer - negative. This morning saw a squinter of a line and wasn’t sure if evap, taken another this evening and there is a clear pink line -eeekk!! Going to test again tomorrow. This will be my fourth pregnancy but my first using IVF, I am extremely lucky as I have two healthy children but sadly lost my youngest child to a rare condition when she was young. We then discovered that we both carry the gene so there is a 1 in 3 chance of future babies being affected and no genetic testing available. Was not prepared to take that risk so we have used an egg donor.

About 18 hours after transfer I started feeling off, feeling very hot, came down with a sore throat, headache and generally felt rubbish - This happened in at least one of my pregnancies so I feel like I could be pg but until I see it confirmed I won’t believe it. Wishing everyone good luck and sending baby dust!

@Ems2021
This sounds so promising for you! How exciting!

I cannot even imagine the heartache you've been through and go through every day missing your lovely daughter.
You deserve all the luck you truly do

Thank you so much xx

Laurie95 · 14/08/2021 20:53

@Ems2021 aw I’m so sorry for yous loss 😢

Hoping all is well that’s so good for 10DPO having a clear pink line and congratulations to you.
Especially if your official test date isn’t to the 21st.

Wishing you the best or luck xx

Ems2021 · 14/08/2021 21:11

Thank you! Just been reading the posts and sounds like you’re in a similar situation with regards to the testing. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 When do you think you will do a digital?

BitchFace21 · 14/08/2021 21:48

Good Evening!

Hope everyone is okay?!

Done a test today and got a negative 😭 but AF isn't meant to arrive till Wednesday I know I might have tested to early I bought the 6 days early test but didn't use the first wee of the day.. I'm saddened to say Iv got to the point in my head "it's always going to be one line" I have tried to stay so positive but it's draining!

Just out of curiosity what's everyone's BMI's Iv put weight on since my son was born (2018) Iv read weight affects your chances 😯😯😯🌷

SLT90 · 14/08/2021 22:36

A warm welcome @Ems2021 🤗 that possible line sounds promising and very well deserved! Fingers crossed for you when you test again 🤞

Sorry to hear about your BFN @Bitchface21 hopefully it's just too early!! I've just checked and my BMI is about 23 which is fine, but I know it has to be taken with a pinch of salt! I'm a good bit lighter than I was pre-pregnancy but wayyy less fit/healthy so I know I'm not as well prepared this time 🙈 poor baby #2! I feel way more laid back this time and yet more anxious at the same time somehow!!!

Teaandcrumpets95 · 14/08/2021 22:46

@BitchFace21 my bmi is 24, would like to lose a couple pounds but not stressing if I (hopefully) get preggers soon and will have to gain weight anyway. Tbh I've been both obese and underweight so feeling pretty good where I'm at currently, aiming to be more active though x

BitchFace21 · 14/08/2021 22:47

@SLT90 it's so difficult!! I'm at the other end of the BMI made an appointment at the doctors for Monday for advice.. isn't it mad the way we think and act with stuff! They say it happens when you least expect it! Maybe being more relaxed will help!! I just keeping lying in bed thinking I'm 27 why isn't this working (and I completely get age means nothing but it's meant to be your most fertile years 😯🤭🤞🏼🤞🏼🌷

Your definitely at the right end of the BMI
yeah that's the thing I wouldn't worry too much all the fun of being pregnant! 🤞🏼🌷 our time will come! Xx

@Ems2021
So so sorry for your loss x

That sounds super promising! Got everything crossed for you xx

SLT90 · 15/08/2021 00:00

I ate a really random dinner combination and feel so nauseous this evening and its giving me morning sickness fear 🙈🙈 the only bit I'm really not looking forward to! Keep trying to remind myself how much it's worth it on the other side of it!!!

Laurie95 · 15/08/2021 07:00

Took my digital this morning saying 1-2 weeks on 10DPO today but from clear blue instructions it says the docs would date me from last period I am 3 weeks 1 day today !! I’m still in shock can’t get my head around it.

I was going to hold off another 4 days to my period is due but that didn’t happen 😂

I’ve read online and in few forums by having such a early positive could mean twins ? I had my first positive at 6DPO and everyday since has been positive what yous think? Twins are on my partners side so doesn’t increase our odds of them but just curious to what yous think.

How are yous all feeling today ? Am struggling with sleep up super late tossing all night and up really early and lack of sleep causing a headache hopefully tonight I get a decent sleep.

BitchFace21 · 15/08/2021 07:01

Right this might sound really odd but it can happen..
I knew I was pregnant with my first as I felt "different" I had no symptoms I mean (AF was all over the place was never regular). So Iv been feeling the same as then it's so hard to explain.. 😯🤭 but I done a test last night and was negative (my last post) so I do one with the first wee off the day and there's a really faint line! 😭😭😭😭 AF is meant to arrive on Wednesday.. going to test every morning until it's darker..
Im so emotional don't want to get excited as the line is so faint..
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I've got another positive today but it won't let me add a photo yet as I'm a new member. Still got headache and I'm not sleeping well at all, up peeing a lot and then I can't get back to sleep

SLT90 · 15/08/2021 09:04

Woohoo! #luckygroup indeed 😊😊😊

So glad to hear your updates this morning @BitchFace21 and @Laurie95!! 🎉

Hopefully we see some more of those over the coming couple of weeks!

@laurie95 I'm not sure about the twins thing, I think it probably varies as I think some people suspect it as they get really strong symptoms from early on but then I've heard some people find out as a total shock at 12 weeks and hadn't a clue it might be twins 🤷‍♀️ I guess time will tell!!

Teaandcrumpets95 · 15/08/2021 09:07

@Ems2021 🥳🥳 congrats! X

Sorry you aren't sleeping well- good reason to have a chilled day and let your dp pamper you xx
