Thank you everyone for your lovely messages, I am sitting with tears in my eyes reading them all. I certainly feel the love and support you have all given me throughout my journey has made such a difference in letting me explore my thoughts, options and helped me make decisions. I only hope I can do the same for some of you and repay the favour. Will keep you all posted with the developments xxx

Congratulations @October1979 !!!! Your babies are beautiful - so glad they all arrived safely and that you are all doing well. What an amazing thing you have done. Hope you are all home safely soon and can cocoon yourself with your new little (but actually quite big!!) family. After the journey that you have been on, I'm so happy for you that you finally have your happy ending! Sending big hugs xxxxxx

@October1979 I’m absolutely over the moon for you. I woke up this morning and randomly wondered how you were. It’s lovely to see your beautiful babies are here. Well done for getting through such a difficult journey. I’m sure you’re an inspiration to lots who are finding it hard. In the face of adversity you got there. Enjoy the newborn cuddles and being a mummy. Xx

Catconfusion · 31/03/2023 07:51

@Iusedtobedontcall i just wanted to say I’m so sorry you didn’t get a definitive answer from the testing to back up your decision. You did however make the right decision. I can imagine it’s hard not to doubt yourself but I’d have done the same and it sounds highly likely something was wrong. Take care of yourself. I wish you loads of luck for your IVF cycle. Xx

Honey2 · 03/04/2023 20:20

@October1979 OMG!!!!!! How absolutely wonderful. They are so perfect! It’s been a long road for you (as for many of us on this threat!) but I am so so pleased your TTC journey ended in this wonderful way. Now on to the chaos of motherhood!! Congratulations a millions times xxx

Kelb79 · 05/04/2023 11:40

Hey everyone!
How are you all getting on?
Our DE journey is officially underway!! 🫣🫣
I have meds and a med plan and we have FET booked for the 6th June!!! 😳😳 eeek!!
obviously I’m well aware that IVF never quite follows the plan so everything is completely subject to change but it’s great to be doing something again! 😁❤️🙏🏼

TraceyTarotReader · 05/04/2023 14:46

@Kelb79 oh I’m so happy for you I’m so glad for you all the best lovely x

YellowLoafers · 05/04/2023 14:51

Amazing news @Kelb79 ! So exciting! How are you feeling? When do you start meds?

My update is I’m on FET cycle now. I had endometrial lining check scan on Monday (CD10) and I’m showing 8.1mm so have to continue oestrogen and start progesterone tomorrow. Blood test this coming Monday to check progesterone levels and scan to check lining, all being well then I’ll have the transfer done the following day. Nervous!

October1979 · 05/04/2023 15:38

I am delighted for you @Kelb79. I remember once I made the decision to start the DE journey feeling excited and never looking back. Hoping this is the beginning of your happy ever after. Reach out if I can be of help in anyway xxx

Hi all - happy Easter! @October1979 I hope you are having a wonderful time with your new little Easter chicks!
@Kelb79 I am so excited and hopeful for you!
@YellowLoafers how are you getting on?

How is everyone else doing? Any news? Nothing much to report here, I’m in the 2WW and hoping for some joy after so much heartbreak.

TTCnumberfour · 09/04/2023 10:35

Hi can I join this thread? Currently CD21 and ovulated around CD15/16. Cycles usually 27/28 days. Got a horrible headache today and feel off. Food doesn’t taste like it usually does and having cramping on and off with a bit of heartburn too. I’m 44 years old and ttc number 4 for me and first for my OH. Trying to stop symptom spotting! And have frer coming today via Amazon.

October1979 · 09/04/2023 10:55

@Iusedtobedontcall my wee Easter chickies are doing well. All off oxygen and breathing by themselves. Also gaining good weight. All going in the right direction and loving every minute. I hope you get your rainbow baby soon. Stay strong, positive and don't give up xxx

Iusedtobedontcall · 09/04/2023 11:26

@TTCnumberfour welcome - I am also TTC number 4 for me and mine and DH’s first together.
@October1979 that’s so good to hear! So happy for you.
I do have a feeling this month might happen for me but trying really hard not to symptom spot and refusing to test early. The earliest I will test is the 15th. Away in Barcelona from Monday and back Friday so that should be a distraction.
