Here is the next thread lovelies!

That’s Brilliant wombats I feel better today I haven’t had anything not even a smudge. Not felt any cramps today either just a bit of back ache. Hoping it’s settled in to it’s new home now and it’s here to stay 😂 xx

So I heard something today which really confused me, and I'm going to struggle to word it in this message, but I want to know if you guys were aware of this, or whether it's not the case for IVF patients.

So pregnancy in terms of how many weeks a woman is, is dated back to the first day of your last period. So the first day of my last period was 22.02.18, so if my test is positive on Friday - does that make me five weeks pregnant. However in reality implantation would have only been a week ago? Xxxx

I'm confused 🤷‍♀️

becky114 I was confused with this question few weeks back ) try www.yourivfjourney.com/baby-calculators-for-pregnancy/ivf-and-fet-due-date-calculator/

Wow I never knew this!!!! Xxx

Isn’t it so weird becky I get confused too! Also did anyone ever have like a stabbing pain just above hip bone? Xx

That is useful aliona19 as i didnt know thos either!! Liverpool19 i have been getting a pain just above my hip. Although sometimes I think I'm making up symptoms as I want it so bad 😞 is yours a constant pain?x

lav not constant no. I just feel it every now and again. Mainly of a night. I can feel like a stabbing pain under my boob too 🤷🏼‍♀️ Xx

Liverpool19 fingers crossed this is a good sign xx

So girls. I know o said I wouldn’t test and I know it could change between now and Friday buttttttttt..... I have 2 lines!!! See photo 😳😳😳

Yay, congratulations Liverpool, brilliant news, especially after the tough tww you've had.

Fab news, Liverpool! Thrilled for you!!!

Thanks everyone, I’m so scared 😂😂 this tww is utter hell and I hate how hard it’s been but I see light at the end of a very long tunnel 😂 becky lav thinking of use you will both be fine. I checked again before I left for work and it was so much darker.

I feel the same as yesterday becky less anxious but it’s still there 😂 xx

Congratulations Liverpool so happy for you you.

@Liverpool19 that is a clear BFP for you my dear! Very delighted for you! Good luck for the other ladies testing soon! XXX

@Liverpool19 oh my oh my oh my!!! It's 2 lines. After all that stress. Yippeee! I'm so pleased for you. It makes all of this worthwhile when once of us gets a BFP

Xxxxx

Thank you everyone. I’m still in absolute shock and don’t think I will believe it until I’ve had scans 😂 good luck to everyone testing ❤️ I’m going to do another in the morning I think 😂 just checking the trigger shot will defiantly be out of my system won’t it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Xx

Oh wow @Liverpool19!! Congrats!!!

If it’s any help I bled a lot, bright red, brown, pink... all of the above. Still have occasional bleeds even now. Bodies are weird. And yours is now looking after a growing embryo!! ❤️

P.S. I tested at 12 days post transfer due to OHSS. Actually the clinic nurses did it for me but anyhoo. Should be no remnants of the trigger by now!

Ahh thank you dinks I knew someone on here bled and I couldn’t remember who. It’s the first time in my 29 years I’ve ever seen them two lines for myself and I keep thinking it’s a lie 😂 xx

Hooray Liverpool, it's such a shock isn't it?? Congrats on your success ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Massive shock wombats
jane how did your appointment go? Xx

Thanks @Liverpool19

It went really well actually. We really liked the clinic and the Dr (tho chances are we will never see him again!).

It was also great to have a scan as I am currently on CD45!! It looks as tho I am still pre-ovulation. So we are at least 6 weeks off a new IVF cycle as I would need to first have a period and then wait for the next one to start.

However he also found 2 large cysts on my ovaries so he is going to talk to the consultant and find out what to do about that. I had the same ones in my last cycle and they just drained them so hopefully it won't be too complex
