Going through IVF in February?

[TwinklingLight]

If so, please join the club. Let's keep each other going!

In our case, we're going abroad for ours - Norway. What about you?

Don't worry about your scan Kwick. If there's one thing that the last few years have taught me it is that worry is a waste of time(admittedly this begs the question why I am such a pita during the 2ww, but I never claimed to be perfect ). Although, I recall my 12 week scan with DD1. The night before I dreamed that when they scanned me there was nothing in there but a massive ball of black hair and they accused me of faking my pregnancy! Ten years on and I am still scarred...!

You are very naughty notspartacus to sleep under desk... That cannot have been comfortable!!!

Scan was a bit of a palaver TBH - first lovely scanner lady said "so you are here for a baseline?" To which I responded breaking out into sobs saying "no I am here for first pregnancy scan and I am really worried!" Lovely scanner lady has not seen me for so long she must have thought the worse! Then she poked scanner up my fanjo and pressed my womble - trying to see... Then she said we should do with a more high tech scan machine so I had to change rooms - here she did up fanjo and over womble scans with a nurse assisting to press down....then she went off to get my consultant and I was scanned both ways again. They did see an egg sac, yolk and heartbeat but want me back again next week to scan again. No piccie as all too blurry.

Can anyone else see another line?! It's uber faint but I have hope. OTD tomorrow morning but couldn't help myself and did a test now (granted it's 6pm in the evening so I'm assuming that has something to do with the line being so light??) Or am I just kidding myself?

Help me ladies! Help! xx

sashaw88 I can see a line! I hope you have a another FRER for your FMU tomorrow!!! Well done!

I see a line too Sasha. Well done, pleased for you.

Kwick a heartbeat at this stage is great! Hopefully now you can relax a bit? Why do they want to see you in a week?

hi everyone, i had an ok day back at work, my dicky tummy caused by the pessaries, was the only thing to spoil it really, spoke to the other boss and she was very nice and told me to talk to her anytime!
i'm still incredibly tired!

I think it is to get a clearer image. My consultant wants to see me too

Yay thank you ladies! The line got a little thicker so I think I'm there! Called DP while he was at work in absolute tears.

Oh no goinggrey these pessaries are the worst. I get such bad constipation, but just remember it's all for a good cause!!

Kwik so happy for you and your little magic beans heartbeat!

Are pessaries cyclogest? I do not get constipated but my jacksie is not a happy bunny when used as an orifice!!!!

Got progesterone results - back up to over 170.... Fx I can reduce some of the meds!

thanks my fingers are crossed that my bubble is still in there and will be on saturday for the pee on the stick business and luckily my best mate is going to come over to give me some support as she knows i'm rubbish at the pee on the stick business!!
well done and congratulations to everyone else!
Sashaw88, yes i was badly constipated with my 1st cycle, i don't whether its because i'm doing the cyclogest pessaries 3 times a day rather than just twice a day, that they are sending me the dicky tummy way, really hope they settle down soon!!

My OTD this morning and I have an official BFP!

Just a thought - if anyone lives in SW London, I'm always around for a coffee!

Just wanted to add, this thread has given me so much support. More than you will all know.

The struggle of trying to conceive for years has left my battered and bruised with no one to talk to. So happy we are going through all of this together, whether positive or negative results it's nice to know we are not alone.

So pleased for you Sasha. Great to go into your beta feeling confident about the result too

I've decided not to test until the weekend. I'd love to get a BFP now of course, but if it is negative I am going to need a couple of hours to lie in bed and cry. Plus DH is away now until tomorrow night and I would rather he were around.

Feeling a bit odd today. Still tired but now I am soooo hot. Expect it is hay fever or something.

Good idea NotSpartacus, you don't want to feel shitty about everything unnecessarily but I know the wait is excruciating! My fingers are crossed xx

sashaw CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Hi ladies well done!
I'm a little worried had period pains type cramps on and off today, transplantation was the 3rd, is this normal, vaguely remember someone saying it is, but now think I may have dreamt it!!

Hey Goinggrey it was me who mentioned the cramps. My friend told me her consultant says cramps and/or spotting 9 days after transfer (which you are, yes?) is a hopeful sign. So chin up!

My body is behaving just like AF is coming; ewcm (I get a patch of this before my period) and severe sharp pains. But I am ignoring the doubts and visualising my beans digging in. Perhaps if I picture it enough it will happen... I will be so pissed off if my clexane bruises have been in vain!

ahh thanks, i'm glad its normal!!
hoping its just the bubble digging in and making its home!!
now got the burps too

got some bleeding, not heavy some spotting

Fingers crossed goinggrey it is implantation.

I am loving the PMA notspartacus - visualise away - it should really help!
I bet my Clexane bruises are worse than yours

hopefully, my school trousers were really uncomfortable with the cramping as well today, stomach and everything down there, just felt funny for most of the day, kind of convinced myself the bubble was digging a home and sapping the little energy i had left as well, until the spotting then i was like really what's going on now!!
i've taken a paracetamol to try and get rid of the cramps too, hopefully the paracetamol will help me sleep also

Does anyone else's tummy look swollen where you've been doing all the injections? Mine looks a little weird, a kind of pokey out band under my belly button with matching bruises!

Good news that your scan showed everything is progressing as it should Kwick, when are you being scanned again?

I had my final HCG test yesterday and levels are increasing as they should, first scan booked in for next Friday.

Congratulations sashaw when do you think you will be having your scan?

goinggrey and NotSpartacus are you both going to be testing this weekend then? Fingers and toes crossed for you both.

My tummy looks grim. Bruises all along where the waistband of my trousers sits and my chub (which I had anyway, thanks to prior pregnancies and a desk job!) seems a lot looser and more flabby since I've been injecting into it. It's horrid!

How are you doing goinggrey?

Hi Ladies! It's sasha here but I managed to forget my password and couldn't change it in the account settings so had to create a new account. Argh!

Sparrow my 6 week scan is 29th April. Not only will I not be able to relax until then but I won't be able to relax until I deliver. Really hoping for no disappointments though nothing in life is guaranteed. I'm just so paranoid something bad is going to happen because we've been on an excruciating journey already.

Have my fingers crossed for you this weekend NotSpartacus and goinggrey!
