@TheBirdintheCave eek hopefully AF doesn't let you down when u want it

Listen to me private care and £40 strips you'd think I was rolling in cash 🤣 But I'm a bit worried and refuse to wait 6 weeks for nhs

@MrsJGrealish Private is definitely worth it if you can afford it.

@MrsJGrealish private is defo worth it if you can afford it. You'd be waiting for month on the NHS!

@TheBirdintheCave that's exciting! How are you feeling about it all?

@bunnykins123 Kinda excited now I think. I just want to get on with it and hopefully get some embryos and not get OHSS so we can try one 😂

@TheBirdintheCave I'm so happy to hear you're excited now! I can only imagine the hesitance and nervousness before starting. You're going to be brill....praying for AF for you Wednesday 🙏🏼.

@MrsJGrealish absolutely worth going private I am sure you will get much better and more comprehensive testing and help. 😘 xx

@FfoxRedN I know. Literally so worth it. It's pricey enough but peace of mind is worth it😊

Hope you're keeping well lovely 😘 Xx

@MrsJGrealish There is so much to be said for peace of mind!
I'm ok, moved my next scan forward as my nausea is subsiding each day, and stretching pulling pains getting worse so I just can't help but fear it's all happening again. Friday is the next one and whilst I want it to come round quick I'm also terrified of bad news. Mentally this one is really taking its toll on me xx

@FfoxRedN aww pet..I'm not a bit surprised this is mentally draining. Symptoms do come and go. The pain is just a mind melt. Glad you could get the scan moved forward. Honestly I don't remember feeling too bad with my 3DC just super tired. I was never physically sick just a light queasiness. They were all close together, I was working full time and up at night.

Anyways I'm sending you so much luck for Friday 💝 💕❤️ I'll be thinking of you. You bloody deserve good news.

@MrsJGrealish thanks lovely, I hope you manage to get some answers, please keep us updated 😊 xx

@FfoxRedN next thread title 'POAS: PTSD' I will do xx

@MrsJGrealish Abso-fricking-lutely!!! Xx

@MrsJGrealish 100% for that title.

@FfoxRedN I'm still holding out hope for that little one 🥰 You really deserve this. You've been through so much and waited so long ❤️

Morning ladies I'm finding it really hard to function atm my dizziness is literally another level. Also men 😤 just why sometimes 🙄

@MrsJGrealish I'm glad you're going to get some answers hopefully 🤞🏼 I always think if you can go private it so much quicker

@TheBirdintheCave not long to go! when they do ivf do they collect the eggs and then transfer in the same cycle?

@FfoxRedN the mental side and waiting is the worst ❤️ I've got so much crossed for you on Friday lovely come on baby!

@Alexis7890 how you feeling lovely? Have you had a scan yet?

@bringmearainbow whats he done?!🙈 hope you're eating and drinking ok xx

@MrsJGrealish tbf to him it isn't that he doesn't care he's just got a lot on at work running the business but in the stress of all that he's grumpy and being a bit self centred🙄 he isn't being helpful when I need him to be but I don't want to add to his load as he will feel very bad 🙈 so I've just struggled on but it puts me in a bad mood that he can't see I could probably do with some help. Getting lots of water and food 🤷🏼‍♀️ don't know what it is thankfully I don't feel sick too

@bringmearainbow Sorry you're feeling so dizzy :( That's no fun at all.

Egg collection will be in approximately 8 to 12 days from when my AF starts (so hopefully today!) and then a fresh transfer would be five days after that.

@bringmearainbow ha you've literally described my DH! Sorry you're struggling and tired🥲 To be fair to DH he did step up once he realised how worried I was. Took a while but he got there😂 I know I'm older but I never really tried for any pregnancy. This wait is taking over my life 😕

Hi all 👋 had my 20 week scan today. Everything good with baby :) and my placenta is posterior, not anterior like the private clinic said! Which im happy about as I don’t fancy another back-to-back labour 😆 however the sonographer said it was quite low at the moment so I have to have it checked at 32 weeks. So something else to worry about as I really really don’t want to have a CS through no choice of my own.

@LuckyMoonstone that's amazing!! I had 2 back to back labours not fun. Do you know the gender?! Is it secret? Xx

@MrsJGrealish we didn’t find out, she kept telling us when to look away as it was really obvious apparently 😂 so she knows and we don’t!!

@LuckyMoonstone I had no clue boy or girl with mine..I even got a 4D scan with DD for that reason and she was hiding. £180 wasted🙄

@MrsJGrealish oh no 🙈 i mean there’s still opportunities for me to find out but now I’m half way I think I can wait

@LuckyMoonstone ahhh that's amazing lovely ❤️ I do love a surprise gender

@bringmearainbow thank you 😊 baby was lying in silly positions so my scan photo from today is rubbish 😂 literally just a spine with a big blob for a head at the end lol

@LuckyMoonstone ooo yay! That's amazing news, I'm so so happy for you that the scan went well! I have low lying placenta too - I have to have another scan to check but she did say that in 90% of cases, it rides up as your uterus grows. How are you feeling now that hurdle is completed?

@TheBirdintheCave ah that's great you have a plan, I've got literally everything crossed for you 🤞 hoping AF arrives so you can crack on now!

@bringmearainbow I don't think men properly understand how rough you feel and how little energy you have especially at the beginning. Mine didn't, that's for sure - I think he forgot I was pregnant most days as I couldn't talk about it or acknowledge the pregnancy. Have you told him you need his support now more than ever? Sometimes they just need to be reminded!
