@Kelly199 thankyou I have called yet will call at lunch time I think! I had a bit more this morning when I went to the toilet and am still crampy so freaked out a bit at DH who is obviously telling me to call the clinic and I will I just feel under so much pressure at the minute!! How are you feeling?

@GreyC great news!

@squirrelnutkins1 sorry your oh is feeling down it must be so tough for you both! Big hugs xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF so sorry you're going through this. Hopefully it'll all be ok though. Did they say a little spotting is normal?
Let us know when you ring and fingers crossed for you everything will be ok.
I'm ok thank you. Just waiting so I can test, but not hopeful if I'm honest! We'll see!
Hope you'll be ok. Thinking of you xx

@Kelly199 thankyou have calmed down now I’m sure it’s fine hopefully it implantation! I think so they said some stuff to me after transfer but it’s all a bit of a blur I don’t want to be that person that just rings for no reason lol! When are you planing on testing?

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF of course! It is a worry, but hopefully all will be ok.

I did test couple days ago at 8dpo and bfn. Don't know why I do it to myself!! I know it's early, but so many say they have bfp by then!!
I don't think I'm going to test now until Saturday morning so 12dpo and if negative I'll just try one more on day of expected af if it hasn't already arrived! Xx

Oh ladies the worst day at work!
Trying to get appointments off as hospital only do certain times which of course is during the middle of the day requiring all morning off work.
I really don’t want to tell them what for but I know they are getting suspicious and then I Open Facebook and someone who has been dating for 8 months announces there pregnant. Talk about a slap to my face.

Thanks @Kelly199! Rang but am waiting for a call back but guessing it will be tomorrow as they haven’t come back to me yet but only called on my way home as had some more! Well if you need to test then that’s what you need to do it’s what evergets us through this

@GreyC is your clinic far away from you then? Sorry to hear you got baby bombed

This is at the hospital still which is close to where I live but an extra 25 mins from work so an hour to get to work and car parking is horrendous at the hospital. Clinic is easier I can get slightly better appointment times.
My appointment is at 10:30 so it’s an awkward time

Sorry about the baby bomb 💔 @GreyC I feel like every time I open Instagram there's gonna be an announcement. I mean there isn't many but I feel like I have to brace myself. Crazy eh. Sorry your appointment is at a rubbish time. Is there any parking near the hospital? I know at my local hospital there's some pay and display just across the road which is better than queuing to get in. I live in walking distance so I'm lucky that way.

Had lunch with my pal today and had some good therapy just talking to her about things. Did me good actually.

I've had quite a bit of white CM today (sorry for the tmi) so hopefully ovulation is on it's way this month...

Hope they ring you soon @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF 🙏🏻 don't be afraid to ring! It's their job to be there to help you whether that just putting your mind at rest or otherwise.

All the best for this month @Kelly199 ❤️

@GreyC sorry you had a crap day at work!! Horrible when you're trying to hide things!
Anyway, try not to worry about them getting suspicious. None of their business until you want to make it theirs so they can keep thinking what they want!
Oh god..so annoying!! Hope you're ok. Sending hugs ❤️

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF that's good. Hopefully everything will be ok. I'm sure they'll get back to you first thing. I have heard people saying that though and everything turning out just fine, so try not to worry and just wait to hear back from clinic. Hope you're ok 😘❤️

@squirrelnutkins1 glad you had a good day with your friend and that you had nice chat.
Do you only get the white cm before ovulation? I've had it everyday since not long after last clomid tab is taken, but I can't remember if I've had it still during the later part of luteal phase anyway since I've been on clomid?
Thank you ❤️
How are you doing today? Hope you're ok xx

Hi ladies sorry for goin mia ive just been feeling majorly depressed recently and i dont know what to do..Ive felt this way before and had to go on meds but i dnt know if i can with my IVF appt nxt mnth. Tried shakin myself out of it but nothings working @GreyC sorry bout the baby bomb i almost bumped into an old friend at the supermarket today with her new baby and i actually had to do a body swerve down the nxt aisle😳didnt have the strength to face her! Its horrendous i felt soo bad afterwards! @Finallytakingtheplungewithivf hope your okay my friend had bleeding throughout her pregnancy so fx for u hun it could be implantation x 👋to everyone else ❤

@squirrelnutkins1 glad you had a nice lunch with your friend! It’s always good to talk!! Remember this is never such a thing as tmi on this thread I’ve share worse 😬 thank you o know it is I just don’t like to seem petty but I’m sure they have loads of calls at this time!

@Kelly199 thank you for your support ❤️

@2fingers22018 I am sorry you are feeling depressed but I would say you need to go see your doctor and I am sure they will talk through your options of what you can do when doing ivf! I have been depressed on the past and know it’s tough but you will need to be at your strongest for ivf it is an exhausting process both mentally and physically and I don’t say that to be mean just honest! Big hugs to you ❤️ And thank you my sister was in and out of hospital with bleeding I guess just at this stage it tough because of the journey it’s taken xx

@Finallytakingtheplungewithivf oh i know dnt mean to play it down id be stressed aswell are you still spotting? Yh i know i need to get to the docs i just didnt want to go back down the route of meds but if this keeps up i wnt have a choice. The bottom line is im not happy with the route with my lifes taken i didnt want to b this age and have no children or worse still have none ever! Im stuck in limbo if i could start ivf 2morro id do it thats whats frustrating me the most i have no control whatsoever over my own life..

@2fingers22018 so so sorry you're feeling so depressed. It is such a hard and unfair journey that you're on. I completely understand that you feel you're in limbo. I just feel like I'm putting my life on hold too and just my everything is going on ttc (which obviously I wouldn't mind if I have a baby at the end, but just seems a never ending road).
Did you say you had an appt date? Sorry I know you mentioned about your appt rough dates, but did you have an actual date? Hope it will come quick for you so you can get started and I will have my fingers crossed that you will have success and all this hurt will be a thing of the past!
Would you be open to perhaps going to counselling to try and let all your feelings out?
Although, we are always here if you ever want a chat to let things out.
Sending you lots of love ❤️

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF no problem. Given anytime you need ❤️

@Kelly199 yh ive been to counselling in the past counsellor wasnt very gd lol thanks for understanding its rough. My appts the 1st wk in july but its just to check for sti s and sign consent forms god knows how long itl b before treatment starts uuugh. How are things goin with clomid? X

@2fingers2218 I didn’t mean you to think I was saying you were playing it down! I know what you mean it is like putting your life on hold and I know what you mean when you say you don’t like the route your life is taking but please don’t get trapped it’s a lonely place to be and I never want to go back there again! What about going to see some and talking would that help at all? Obviously we are here but can probably only help so much! Xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF its alrite lol i get what ur saying 100% i have been feeling REALLY lonely tbh but thats just the depression thats how it always makes me feel. I know its totally irrational i have lots of ppl who care bout me but depression just isolates you especially when ive got no motivation to go anywhere or do anything..oh well tomorrows a new day as the cliche goes lol hope u feel better and get a hold of the clinic 2morro x

@2fingers22018 sorry you've been feeling so low ☹️ I wish I could give you an answer or know the future to be able to tell you 'not long now' or something useful. big hugs xxx

@Kelly199 I don't really know tbh. I try not to obsess over where I am in my cycle, sounds crazy, but the reality is I can't cope with it!!! We just dtd every other day all month. Well not this week but generally speaking we do. Really wishing you the best for this month ❤️🙏🏻 I'll attach something from dr google in a sec.

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF I'm learning that slowly! And I didn't cry either, I welled up but i held it together. Actually she cried for me 🙊 so I'm hoping it'll stand me in good stead for talking at my counselling appointment in a few weeks. How you feeling now?

So am panicking now!! Been to the toilet and had some more spotting but quite a bit more then yesterday and was some even in the toilet (sorry tmi) feeling very much like af is about to appear will be ringing the clinic at 8!!

Clinic beat me too it the nurse just called me have to up the pessaries to 3 a day now she said hopefully that should help with the bleeding struggling to keep positive the tears are all ready coming think it’s going to be a very long day today 😢

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF big hugs and positive sticky thoughts coming your way. Glad the clinic are on the ball with getting back to you with a plan. Hugs xxx

Thanks @squirrelnutkins1 this is so hard am tempted to rest over the weekend now just so I can prepare myself I know I might not get an accurate result we’d just seems so long away! Xxx

Do whatever you need to hun xxx @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF

@2fingers22018 sorry it didn't work out.
That's great!! Hopefully it won't be long after. At least the ball will be rolling then. Fingers crossed it won't be long. Hope you're ok.
Going ok thank you. Don't get any side effects other than hot flushes really, so that's good. Just thought I would've been lucky by month 3 and no sign of anything so onto month 4! Never mind hopefully have some luck with last 3 I have left. Hope you have a lovely day. Here if you need a chat xx

@squirrelnutkins1 that's good. Think I may try that next month as I'm constantly obsessing! Can't be good.
I've decided if nothing this month, I'm going to give my bedroom a little makeover and paint make me feel better lol.
This morning cm seemed to dry up so will see how it is throughout the day!
Thank you ❤️ wish you the best too.
How are you feeling today? Hope you're ok xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF glad clinic got back to you as soon as they could.
Sorry you have to up pessaries, but hopefully that will stop the bleeding.
Sending you lots of love and hugs. As @squirrelnutkins1 said..positive sticky thoughts your way. ❤️❤️ relaxing weekend is good idea. Do whatever you feel is best. Hope you'll be ok xxx
