[Dbear35]

A super group of women supporting each other and sharing their personal journeys and experiences during the IVF processs. All are welcome !

@swimchick1980 I didn't try running until it was all over. I was too bloated and sore then tired. It's frustrating to be missing out but it's just a few weeks. Once you have your BFP and your body has settled a bit, I'm sure you can start running again

Xxx

Thanks everyone, will hold off for a bit 🏃🛌

jane I hope your funding comes soon so you can go again 🙏🏼
ponypals I will have my fingers crossed for you
aliona goodluck for tomorrow
star you did Indeed tell me 😂 the emotional wreck side has kicked in aswell, I cried this morning because I didn’t want to go to work 😂. Praying my scan on Friday says I am ready for EC 🙏🏼 Injections feel like they are hurting more each day. Unless it’s all in my mind and I’m just getting worked up over it.

Hello to everyone I’ve missed and any newbies 💖💖

Thanks Liverpool ❤️ EC will be here very soon for you. How’s injecting going?

aliona it’s ok, starting to hurt a bit now though, especially the morning one. Hoping for egg collection Monday 🙏🏼 Will know more Friday morning. Xx

user so sorry for you, horrible, sending hugs xxxx

aliona I’m up at 5am tomorrow too to go to crufts with pointer pup, if anyone happens to be at crufts tomorrow i’ll Be there too with my big puppy in the Slovakian Rough Haired pointer club section of discover dogs!! She’ll be the wiggly jumpy young one!

dbear how was it?

pony we had a frozen transfer too and you literally you go in, have it popped in, get dressed then go home! We were in and out in 10 mins then went for cake! No lying down for 30 mins, I kept saying to my friend “do you feel pregnant?” She was like maybe!!”

Fingers crossed for EVERYONE

Go on aliona!! First of many hopefully!! 🍀☘️👍🏻🙏🏻

And another for star

When it’s cold outside you gotta snuggle!

Hi all
Full on bleed now just like af if not a bit heavier with clots horrible pains with burning back pain . Safe to say I'm out.
Thankyou for your words of encouragement xxx

@herewegoagain18 feeling so sad for you I'm sorry you are going through this. Lots of hugs xxx

@herewegoagain18 I'm so sorry that things seem to be going wrong. You can never be entirely certain about these things - the one thing I learned from last time is that the body is very strange and unpredictable.

But if this is what you fear, then I'm sorry. It's such a hard thing to cope with. We are here to support you whenever you need us

Xxx

@herewegoagain18 so sorry ☹️ xx

@herewegoagain18, so sorry. Take care and look after yourself

If you do need to chat @herewegoagain18 then send me a message - I know it's hard when everything goes wrong x

Hi ladies

Happy international women’s day to all you wonderful women!

herewegoagain and user I am so sorry to read that this time was not successful for you ladies .ive been there a it sucks! I’m sending you hugs and strength in equal measures xx be kind to yourselves.

swimchick definitely try and give your body time to recover and relax after transfer my acupunturist made me have 24 hours bed rest and then another day of sofa rest.

minsterloving the doggy pictures too cute!

liverpool your nearly there lovely I know it gets uncomfortable towards the end..but that gives you an indication that your follies are growing 😊so your have lots of lovely eggies!

pony amazing news on the lining not long now! 🤞🏻🙏🏻

XxxX

Just after some advice.
I'm trying to figure out if I should take the day off work on the day of my transfer or just do it and go back to work.
The hospital is just around the corner from where I work.

I forgot to say thank you for all the good luck messages for yesterday !

And I also forgot to update you about my Viability scan, it all went amazing bambino is measuring 1cm so on track, we saw the yolk sac and beautiful little flicker of a heartbeat. I cried (standard) the DH had a tear or two but was more like a Cheshire cat with a huge grin!

Today we are feeling cautiously optimistic, we have a long way to go but I'm going to try my hardest to enjoy this time as its the most pregnant we've ever been!

We have been released from the clinic and I'm waiting for a midwife appointment (even typing this is sounds odd!).

I still have zero symptoms apart from tiredness FYI the worrying does not stop with a BFP and a heartbeat in fact I think it intensifies like the 2WW on steroids!

But today is the first morning I haven't tested, I've got to trust my body and the little bean that things will work out.

For those of you ladies will waiting for your time, I promise it will happen, try and believe I know that's hard sometimes and the IVF road is a roller-coaster. but keep going you've got this !
Make sure you make use and take part in communities like this thread and the IVF/TTC instagram community they are a wealth of knowledge, strength and support. I don't know where I would be without it and that ladies that are part of them.

ponypals I went clothes shopping after my first transfer which was an error . Take the whole day off...go straight to bed and do not move (only for the bathroom) be pampered to. On my second transfer my acupuncturist made me do this and then next 24 hours I was allowed on the sofa but again not much walking (my fit bit I didn't hit more than 500 steps in each day) result was BFP now I wont say this is the only reason I got a positive but it can't hurt.

Along with eating pineapple core , drinking POM juice and eating brazil nuts! and Wheatgrass shots.

Yeah take the day off pony, it’s time to pamper yourself!

And that’s fantastic dbear, so pleased for you xxxx

Hey ladies.
Swim I am ever so sorry that this happened to you, all I can offer is a chat if you need one. Unfortunately most of us went through this and it feels horrible. I am sorry.

Happy woman’s day girlies! In my country it’s a massive thing and at home and at work men buy you flowers and gifts. In fact it’s official bank holiday. So I do miss it. Feel like it’s a little insensitive to post because of our ladies going through tough time, But I have received the best gift in a form of two lines on my pee stick 🙃 usually I just pee and look at it as it developing, but this time I couldn’t do it.. @Star was up at 5 supporting me on the phone 🙃🙃 as my OH was asleep 😅😂 You would think now I can breath but worried even more.. as I have seen positives before and they were gone.. so every cramp makes you feel “is it the beginning of the end?” What a shitty feeling 😕😕 so bloods tomorrow and results Monday I guess 😕 also dreamt that I had a baby girl and I kept losing her at home because my mum was looking after her 😂 wouldn’t let her go. She had brown eyes 😍

Liverpool not long now. I remember some days it was hurting like hell to inject and some days I felt nothing. But defo glad it’s over 😅

Minster you should create Instagram profile for your dogs like I did!!! She has more followers than I do 😅😂😂

PonyPals day off is better as it makes you feel calmer and probably better thing to do, but then in terms of how you feel-you can go back if you wish. I was cleaning house after 😅

Hope everyone is ok and Swim and User, hang in there xxx

Loads of love.

Great news @Aliona19, so pleased for you and sending you sticky thoughts.

It was herewegoagain18 who had the bad news unfortunately. I don't test until Saturday. Definitely echo sending thoughts to both herewegoagain18 and user

aliona I’m so happy for you. Amazing. Today my injections haven’t hurt and I haven’t had any meltdowns 😂 it’s a crazy journey.
Dbear this is so lovely!! Congratulations. Such lovely news.
user I am thinking of you. I hope you are ok.

Xx

😅 Swim thanks. And sorry. To many copy and paste 😅🤦🏻‍♀️ roll on Saturday. Have you decided to wait till test day or doing it early?

And yes,herewegoagain, hang in there xxx

Liverpool imagine all the meltdowns when you get pregnant? 😅😅🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@Aliona19, i am dying to test but i should probably wait. I have a crazy busy at work tomorrow so would probably not be sensible to test in the morning. Will just test on Saturday morning and if it's bad news, i will at least be heading on holiday. willprobablycrackthough
