IVF Buddies: the next chapter

[RunningOnHope]

Hi everyone, thought I'd try making us a second thread now the old one is done -

Tagging @Triselly @lemons44 @CR7 @Flowerlover010 @pongom @WholeZebra @TheBirdintheCave @SarahShorty - will go back to the thread and see if there's anyone else to add in, but do tag those I've missed!

@WholeZebra isn’t it strange how different clinics do things? I assume by beta you mean the result of the blood test? My result was 103 at 14dpo (9 days past transfer) if the result is less than 25 they say it’s not viable. My clinic say if the result is over 125 at 14dpo there’s a 90% of the pregnancy going to full term and a live birth etc. My line was quite faint at that point so if you’d line is dark I really wouldn’t worry about the numbers x

@KG96 it is really strange how they all differ and have different advice on things too. How far along are you now?

@WholeZebra i know it’s so strange! I’m 8 weeks 1 day today, I received my call from the community officer today to book my first midwife appointment 😱 that’s never happened before!

@KG96 oh my gosh 😱How exciting! When will the appointment be?

@WholeZebra i have my 9 week scan next Thursday and then my appointment with the midwife is on the following Monday (31st) as long as all is well with the scan

@KG96 it’s all happening! So happy for you ☺️🥹

@KG96 So exciting for your midwife appointment. That's a real milestone! I never made it to my last two. Having to cancel all the booked scans and appointments was almost worse than the miscarriages.

Current update from me is that my tests do seem to be darkening so I can say that, currently at least, the transfer worked and I'm pregnant 😁 Hopefully this little one sticks around!

Great news, @TheBirdintheCave!!

@RunningOnHope Thankee! I have everything crossed for you and @charja100 as well! I just hope I'm still testing positive on OTD 😂

@TheBirdintheCave so happy that you’re pregnant again. I have everything crossed that this one sticks around. Pregnancy loss is so difficult, I don’t think I realised how much it affected me until I found out I was pregnant again and now I’m paranoid.

Last time I seemed to get a bit lost in the system and although I lost the baby fairly early I didn’t know until I was nearly 11 weeks into the pregnancy, and at that point I still hadn’t had any contact from a midwife. Thankfully this time I’ve got a point of contact. Just crossing my fingers that everything is ok at my 9 week scan 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@TheBirdintheCave congratulations! xx

@TheBirdintheCave such lovely news! Over the moon for you!

Thankee all 😁 I wish I could be happier but the miscarriages have definitely soured any positive tests.

How are you getting on with the wait @charja100 ? I tested today 8dp5dt, and I thought it was the worlds faintest positive, DW couldn't see anything at all, so we threw it away and will try again in a few days.

How is everyone today xx

@CR7 Just a bag of nerves here worrying about chemicals and ectopics. Next ClearBlue is tomorrow morning and then OTD is on Tuesday.

@CR7 on 9DPO today, I think. My boobs stopped being sore about a week ago and now suddenly they feel like they're full of acid. Progesterone production is ramped up when HCG is present, but I'm not holding my breath that this is the one.

How are you?

@CR7 feeling okay! lots of pulling feelings today in my pelvis which have been worrying me, but then I’d be worried if I felt nothing - can’t win haha. How are you getting on?!

Nothing to show here at 9dpt - feeling a bit miserable about it. But last time we got the first positive at 10dpo so not giving up yet.

**10dpt last time

@RunningOnHope BFN today for me too. Caved and tested yesterday too which was obviously a BFN and I've been feeling really shit about it to be honest. It just feels like I'm out this cycle and this isn't my time.

I had a nightmare last night my DH left me and was having and affair. I woke myself up in the middle of the night in tears. He's so wonderful it's definitely my emotions and insecurities playing out. I need to get a grip.

Oh @charja100 :(, I’m so sorry. That sounds awful!

@RunningOnHope @charja100 I'm sorry about the BFNs :( And about the nightmare, Charja! That sounds horrible :( Progesterone has a lot to answer for.

I'm still holding on to hope for you both ❤️

@TheBirdintheCave @WholeZebra @RunningOnHope @charja100

Thinking of you all - it's such a hard part of the process. It doesn't get any easier I know. The symptom spotting (or lack of for me!) was the absolute worst xx

Well ladies my ClearBlue is no darker this morning so I'm afraid my numbers aren't doubling and this will end in a chemical or blighted ovum for me 😭
