Thanks @2fingers22018

@squirrelnutkins1 I go away on Friday pretty much straight after my scan 🙈 we are going down south to Lulworth with family so it will either be a celebration or if it’s bad new at least I’ll be busy and not at work!

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF

Glad it's stopping! 🤞🏼 hopefully you've done what needs to be done. You've done all you can!! I'm feeling positive about it all for you. I know it's hard and so annoying that you have to wait! Have my fingers crossed for you for Friday and hoping it will be good news ❤️

@squirrelnutkins1 sorry you're feeling crappy. Sending hugs ❤️ aww no!! Hope your back won't take long to get better!
Hope the scan will go well Tuesday! That's a follicle scan is it? Xx

@2fingers22018 how are you? Getting closer to your appt!! What date? How is your back? Hope it's better for you ❤️

Had acupuncture yesterday. Not sure what I think of it at the moment, but going to give it a chance. Definitely relaxed whilst I was there, so that's something! Doesn't hurt at all either which was a relief lol! Just little occasional pinching. Advised to go weekly for 7 sessions, but obviously expensive , so will see how the next few go and decide whether I think worth going or maybe just once a fortnight!

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF have you told any of them? Xx

Yes follicle scan. Really hope it's good news! @Kelly199 Glad you found acupuncture at least relaxing, that's good. Know what you mean tho, it's a bit pricey just to feel relaxed lol. Hope it works 🙏🏻 can you have it at any time of your cycle? I've booked reflexology in line with ovulation. Don't know if it's ok to have during 2ww. Will ask lots of q's next week! X

Morning @Kelly199 awww thank you! I’m not feeling hopeful I think to protect myself I’ve just got it in my mind I’m not pregnant anymore I don’t feel pregnant and the symptoms I do have are from the injections I not even sure I feel as tired as i did!

@squirrelnutkins1 my DH told his mum so she is aware and as we were going to be with them and a few other family members for a week we were going to tell them as thee is no way we would’ve able to hide it as they all know i love a red wine or 3!! I have my fingers crossed for Tuesday that the scan goes well!

Hope everyone else is ok?

@squirrelnutkins1 have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 I wish I had one this month as I just want to know what's going on inside lol.
Yeah I know it is a lot. I'll see how it goes. If it works then I can't complain! At least give it a go.
I went on Sat which was my CD12 as can only really go on Saturdays and that's the Saturday before I'm due to ovulate. So I'll be going every Saturday then I suppose so think it'll be ok in tww. I asked in the event of a pregnancy, do people still come and he said a lot of women do still come for it during the first trimester as it helps prevent miscarriages apparently? Hope your reflexology goes ok. Let me know what that's like xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF been thinking of you. I know, it's so hard for you. I have everything crossed for you that everything will be ok. ❤️ hope you're feeling ok today xx

Hope everyone is ok

Was so annoyed with myself this morning too. Did a CB OPK and left it on the side to brush my teeth. In such a rush for work I completely forgot about it!! Didn't see what it was now. My brother stayed last night though so I've rung her to eject and have a look at the lines and send me a pic lol. Don't know if I'll know from that, but it's worth a try!

Never mind..he's ejected it and the circle came up!
For the last 3 months, I've had +opk on CD15 which is tomorrow and solid smiley.
If that's the same day this month, shouldn't I be getting a flashing smiley today? I've only ever had a solid one on the day of the +?
I had egcm yesterday so I know that's good sign.

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF Hugs and positive thoughts to you xx

@Kelly199 Thanks hun. Same for you 💕 keep us posted! I've got mine on wed so will let you know.

I'm the wrong person to ask about opk but the egcm is a good sign 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

DH is potentially working away a lot of this week, typical, so I've told him he's got to come back to dtd if my scan goes well tomorrow! Xx

Hi ladies! I'm sorry for having been MIA for a bit there. Been so busy with a number of things, including daily visits to the clinic last week. Transfer date is July 10. It'll be CD19, we're going in earlier this time, again with 2 frosties.
Just feeling the nerves but I'm glad everything else has been sorted out so I can really commit to best rest for a bit.

@Kelly199 and @squirrelnutkins1
Thanks so much for checking in earlier! How are you ladies feeling?

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF Congrats hun on the BFP! I'm sorry this is coming so late.. You've been in my thoughts. I scrolled up and read you're worried abt the spotting. i'm so sorry this is causing so much anxiety. But so glad you're booked for a family vacation. My friend had the same problem, but she delivered a beautiful girl. Fingers crossed your scan will show that everything is ok!

Love to the rest of you ladies!

@BumpyRoad84 Oooh so excited for you! Lots of sticky positive thoughts coming your way! Hope everything's ok with you going to clinic a lot last week 💕

Doing ok thanks. I had pink spotting yesterday and some brown spotting today. Not too sure what that's all about and I feel like I'll be starting AF any second, even tho I'm only on cd10! Will see what the scan shows tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday. The time has absolutely flown today. 20 mins to go, the countdown is on! X

Hello everyone; @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF still have my fingers crossed for you!
@squirrelnutkins1 hope your scan tomorrow goes well
@Kelly199 opks can be so confusing!
@BumpyRoad84 fingers crossed all goes well for you.

I had my Follicle count scan today which went well including seeing it all 3D!! Which was amazing shame I started AF today so that was slightly awkward but they didn’t care - took a AMH blood test as obviously this point in my cycle my follicles are teeny so the bloods to give a better picture. Everything looking great tho! The doctor said it’s was the best looking uterus etc she had seen all day - so I will take that as positives are hard to find amongst all this stuff.
Back Tuesday to see consultant and our doctor to form a plan moving forward with our ivf! Eeep

@GreyC ooh congrats on your good looking uterus!! 🙊 glad things are moving forward for you 💕

@Kelly199 id say ur prob havin a longer cycle and ul get a + in a few days i always ovulate on different cycle days ur luteal phase should stay the same x

@Kelly199 thanks chick I’m not to bad the day has gone pretty quick spoke to the clinic aswell as only got two more cokes for the injections so need some more to last me till Friday. I wouldn’t worry to much about if the days change slightly I think it more important your lutal phase is the same length!

@squirrelnutkins1 thanks Hun! Exciting times your scan is so close! Make sure you tell DH to get home if you need to!

@BumpyRoad84 welcome back I was thinking about you the other day wondering where you were and if you were ok! Great news your so close to transfer fingers crossed for you! I’m not so much worried about the spotting it was the fish of bleeding I had last Wednesday I have read many positives and also not so good stories I guess I just have to wait and see!

@GreyC congratulations on the amazing uterus!! Exciting your seeing the consultant about your plan!!

I’m really excited & abit nervous about it all @finallytakingtheplunge but I’m glad that we’re here and moving forward 😊 that is exciting in its self.

@GreyC totally understand that! You will be fine and it will be a lot to take in but your one step closer! So pleased for you

@BumpyRoad84 glad you have your date! Wishing you the best of luck and hope everything goes well. Xx

@squirrelnutkins1 weird with the spotting isn't it? Good luck for your scan tomorrow! Hope it all goes well xx

@GreyC I know. It's so annoying because haven't had a problem with them up until now where I'm wondering if I'm even going to ovulate at all!
That's a big positive!
Tomorrow? Or next Tuesday? Good luck hope it all goes well for you xx

@2fingers22018 hoping that's the case and it's not that I'm not going to ovulate at all! Have been eating what I want this month really not all bad, but hoping that's not the reason for this now!
How are you? Hope your back is getting better? Xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF glad you're doing ok. Hope Friday will come quick for you, although it never does when you're waiting!!
Sending you lots of positive thoughts 😘🤞🏼
Aw I hope that's just it this month then. I think I'm panicking too soon and I guess that's not helping! Xx

@Kelly199 thanks hun its takin its time to heal..try and not worry i think ur just in for a longer cycle x

So just did another digital test and it has now gone down to 1-2 weeks so I think it is safe to say it’s all over for me this time! My DH is just on the way to the clinch for more meds till Friday but have asked if he can speak to them about it as just want it to be over now so I can move on xx

@2fingers22018 hope it will soon! Must be in agony! Hope you're ok xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF I'm so so sorry. Really hope it isn't the end and you'll have good news Friday. Sending you lots of love ❤️ xx

I had my solid smiley on clear blue today! Is that normal to go from negative to a solid smiley the next day with no flashing ones in between?

@squirrelnutkins1 good luck for scan!! (If it's today as I know you said wed on one of your posts, but yesterday we're saying tomorrow, so assuming it's today lol).
Really hope it will go well and you will be pleased leaving. Let us know ❤️

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF he's managed to move things around so he should be home lol! How are you today? Ah just seen your update. Big hugs. Hope he gets to chat with them. Here's hoping your little bean is sticking, i keep hearing that CB aren't that accurate xxx

@Kelly199 still spotting. Will ask about it today. Thank you x Yeah scan today and reflexology tomorrow 👍🏻 ive got a nagging feeling it'll be bad news but we'll see xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF like @squirrelnutkins1 could just be that it's not accurate and everything is ok. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@squirrelnutkins1 sending positive thoughts! Hope it'll be good news for you! Hope the reflexology goes ok tomorrow too xx

Hi everyone, sorry I've been quiet. My optimism and hopefulness has been replaced by a tonne of anxiety and sadness, coupled with pmt, I'm struggling quite a bit at the moment. Af due anytime between now and Friday and fully expecting her now 😑😢

Hope today goes well @squirrelnutkins1 💜 🤞

Sending love @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF ❤️

Yay for the solid smiley @Kelly199

Good to have a date @BumpyRoad84 😊

Hope everyone else is OK @2fingers22018 @GreyC @CloudSway xxx

@VenusStarr sorry you're struggling, it's all do hard and I totally get the hopefulness fading! It's hard month after month. Sending hugs. ❤️ hope af won't arrive!! Xx
