[Starlumiere]

Here is the next thread lovelies!

What lovely news to wake up to. Congratulations Liverpool, becky and Lavmc!

Awww thanks everyone, just on route to the clinic as we speak xxx

Thank you everyone. I’ve just rang mine. They are calling me back with a scan date 🙏🏼 Xx

I have a scan 24th April and no more pessarys. Yayyyy xx

@Liverpool19 that's amazing hun. My HCG came back at 65, from reading online this is quite low but the nurse (although abrupt) is happy that it's over 35. I have another blood test next Friday to ensure my numbers are increasing to ensure it's not a chemical pregnancy. I have been told that I have to be on the pessaries until 12 weeks of pregnancy, is this because my HCG is low?

I’m not sure as i haven’t had a blood test I just rang my clinic to say my test was positive and then asked about the pessarys. She said to stop using them after today. Xx

@Liverpool19 I think your hcg will be fine because your second line was quite dark, for the next week why not consider taking a test every 48 hours to make sure it's getting darker, I believe this indicated hcg increasing but please someone else jump in if I'm wrong? Xxx

I think I would drive myself mad doing that 😂 I’ll see how I get on though. I’ve been reading aswell every clinic says different things about them 🤷🏼‍♀️ They should all have the same rules. Makes it less confusing! Xx

@Liverpool19 I completely agree because it's such a journey and an anxiety provoking time!!!! Xxx

It really is becky I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Xxx

@liverpool19, @becky114 & @lavmc I haven’t checked into this in a while and suddenly realised there was quite a few ladies going to test & I come back & you’re all pregnant!! YAY!! 💕😁❤️🤗🌟AMAZING!

Unfortunately the worry and stress does not end but hey Ho, we’ll all take it!!

@becky114 the Pessary difference I surely down to different clinic’s protocol, nothing to do with your HCG, when we started the thread & a few of us got pregnant most ppl had to continue to 12weeks, ours was until the viability scan which we had at 7 weeks & our HCG was never taken, we never had bloods to confirm pregnancy. It’s just clinic to clinic xxx

@Minster2012 thanks minster that's helpful, I think it gets confusing when different clinics do it differently because you question if it's the right and wrong way, I think that's because we have learnt to be so cautious throughout this whole process lol.

@Lavmc thinking of you on your official test day?

Thanks minister
Goodluck lav
jane I cant find the post with your friends name on but welcome to the group!
Xx

Thank you minster2012. How are you doing?
Thanks becky114 & liverpool119 tested again today and I had a very faint line again! Not sure what to make of it?! Xx

It’s a positive!! My friend showed me her first one and it was so faint!! She’d even put it in the bin at first and went to back to it later on and that’s when she seen the line 😂 lav xx

@Lavmc I'm in a very similar position, intend to take another test tomorrow in the hope my line has got darker, hcg increases every 48 hours. My line was really faint, but my blood test confirmed that I am pregnant, stay hopeful Hun it's still positive! Xxx

@Janefx40 thank you for the kind into!
Hi to everyone. I am kind of in ivf limbo just now. Waiting on our follow up appointment after our 3rd failed attempt.

So nice to see some BFP. Xx

Welcome to this board @BeHereNow31 - hope you are having a good Easter x

Hello ladies. Congratulations to all positives ❤️ I have not been feeling well but last week all symptoms disappeared, so freaking out before my first scan next week 🤦🏻‍♀️ Currently spending weekend in Paris and can’t wait to be back to London 😅 Star is going to kill me 😅 hope you all have lovely Easter, mine is next week 😊

Welcome beherenow and goodluck!
aliona try not to worry, have a fab time in Paris!
I had my first social event yesterday without drinking. God people are annoying 😂 amount of times I had to tell family I was in work today so wasn’t drinking 😴😴
Xx

Liverpool19 lol maybe that’s the problem and reason why I am not enjoying Paris 😅 everyone has a bottle of wine on the table and I am sipping lemonade 🤦🏻‍♀️

Has anyone had any bleeding? I'm suppose to be 4 weeks but just started bleeding. Been to the hospital and they have taken bloods but I won't know until later on x

Lavmc I am sorry it’s happenign.. it can be anything. Unfortunately for me it was bad news 2 years ago, but so many girls on here were bleeding and still pregnant. Just have to wait and try and keep sane x

Tell me about it aliona 😂 we literally have not told any family not even our mums and yesterday was just annoying there’s only so much lemonade you can drink isn’t there.
lav I hope you are ok. Xx

Thank you aliona19 I just need to stay positive but it was such a shock and I can't help but feat the worst! Thank you liverpool19 I hope you are doing ok too xx
