TWW Jan/Feb 2020

[41trying]

This is for ladies in there TWW that would like to chat and have a little support!

@BambiOnIce80 it would be great to have a graduation club! Are we all due in October then?

@Chooklass I love house plants! Also had weird dreams, which honestly is not that unusual for me. Had a dream where I went out with DH and I was naked, forgot to put clothes on! Another where a baby felt down from the rooftop and I caught him and he was fine.

My only symptoms so far is going to the loo all the time and being very tiered.

@Wimbledon1 @BambiOnIce80 great idea to have a new pregnancy thread! i am definitely keen. 👍

Urgh I woke up at 3.30 this morning! Not cool! Doesn't help that my dog has got a stomach bug and is vomming everywhere. 🤢

Right, I've set it up a graduates thread for when people are ready for it:

And thank you for the cottage recommendations @Chooklass @Sarab2020 ❤️ I'm off to start the search now! 🏡👀

@wimbledon1 Yes OTD is tomorrow but I won't be able to make it to the clinic, so I'm moving my OTD to Tuesday. I have enough meds to keep me going. I might do a HPT after work tomorrow to prepare myself for the result. I'm feeling okay, it's a total rollercoaster as one minute I have my hopes up and the next I'm sure it hasn't. I'm on a medicated FET cycle so all my symptoms are probably from the medication.

@Viletta @FlapJackered As ladies also on the extra medication, have you had a few light cramps? With the extra progesterone and estrogen I don't think it can be AF on her way just yet. Just wondered if you both had something similar? I'm hoping it's my little embie getting snug but equally I appreciate it could be any of the meds!

@haych1985 I'm with you on that. I want to know and I don't want to know. I love being PUPO and it will be heartbreaking for the dream to be over again.

I think a graduates thread is a great idea. I hope to be part of it 🤞🏼

@Wimbledon1 @twinkleyes35 OTD is Tuesday so not long to go, we did a test this morning which was a BFN but keeping fingers crossed it may still be too early. It did result in my crying for about an hour but trying to stay hopeful.

Good luck to everyone testing next week!

@HJF84 I had no cramps at all until the day before OTD and then it felt a bit like AF cramps. Now I am having a few weird twinges. When are you testing? 🤞🤞🤞

@flapjackered Tomorrow is supposed to be my OTD but I won't be going to the clinic until Tuesday, so I guess that will be my new OTD.

Cramps started this morning, but not like AF cramps. It's a lot lighter than that. Gosh I wish AF cramps were like this 😂 I could just be ultra responsive to these things as I'm actively looking out for them.

Hi @Wimbledon1 that was me, I did get a super faint line at 4dp5dt. I've tested every day since then and line is significantly darker each day, which is very reassuring. I got a digital for Tuesday as that's my OTD and then I will quit the constant testing (who am I kidding lol)
I've booked a private scan for when I'm six weeks (4 weeks pregnant today) for some reassurance and to rule out ectopic, as I've had a ruptured one at 13 weeks that nearly cost me my life.
Great idea about the birth club! I'd rather be with you lovely lot too!
Good luck tomorrow @HJF84 if you take your test. Xxx

Ooh good news your DH managed to get the time off to be there @twinkleyes35. Will keep fingers crossed for you.
@Sarab2020 sorry to hear that and can totally understand it knocked you for six but two days early is quite a lot to be testing so definitely don’t give up hope 🍀

Thank you for setting up the grads thread @BambiOnIce80, I know what you mean about it being soon, but I’ll be online somewhere either way and this way it’s with people who get it! But will also keep an eye on everyone here to hopefully see lots more BFPs and hopefully many of you over there xx

Ooh sorry @candycornlover, just saw your message. So pleased it has kept getting darker, sounds v positive!! Sorry to hear about the previous ectopic, that must have been horrendous. It is my current worry of choice, that I’ve ended up in that 2%. But I do like to worry!)

@HJF84 I had cramps from day 1 after the transfer till around 2 days before AF was supposed to come. Since then the cramps are very occasional, maybe twice a day not every day and very mild. Also got sensitive breasts. Cramps definitely seem to be a good sign! Good luck!

My boobs are not sore today, after 12 days of pain! What does that mean?! Has my body just got used to the progesterone or something? They usually get less sore just before AF 😭

@chooklass My boobs are less sore today too and I'm on progesterone pessaries AND injections, and I'm on a medicated cycle, so AF shouldn't be on her way as there would be no drop in progesterone yet. Hopefully it's our bodies getting used to the raised levels 🤞🏼

@Chooklass - and breathe 🧘‍♀️ I had exactly the same thing. Boobs were sore all the way through stimmimg and then weren't a couple of days before OTD and I was certain AF was about to rock up... but she hasn't yet 🤞 I've found the soreness/sensitivity has moved to the front/behind the nipple instead, but it's barely noticeable unless DP is giving me a bear hug 🐻🤗 Hoping it's a good sign for you too 🍀💖🍀💖

Keeping everything crossed for you both tomorrow @Haych1985 @HJF84 🤞🍀🤞🍀

@BambiOnIce80 I have exactly the same symptoms with Boobs they were mega sore whilst stimms and after EC and now nothing from last 6-7 days apart from nips sensitive which are noticeable when touching. I am keeping fingers crossed too 🤞

Had cramps here and there and at one moment earlier today in evening felt as if AF is here but luckily she hasn't 🤞x

Need to go thru this 1 more day can't wait this TWW to be over and done with .. but then hopefully beginning of new phase x ☺️

Fingers crossed and good luck for tomorrow guys @HJF84@Haych1985 👍🏻🤞🤞🤗x

@twinkleyes35 I've had a very similar feeling of AF arriving today, had to put my tea down and check but nothing. My boob soreness seems to have moved to just my nipples fingers crossed that with the occasional cramping it's a good sign.

I've been having bursts of tears today, literally got ready for bed and just sat there and cried.

Thanks for the good luck @twinkleyes35 @bambionice80 - feeling a little down about it today. I have AF style cramps, plus my Apple iWatch doesn't show an elevated resting heart rate. That and my cat is treating me like normal! These were all signs I was hoping to see, but none have materialised.

This was a poor quality blasto - so I knew the chances were slim. I was so hoping this would be third time lucky. Wah! Sorry to be a negative Nancy.

@Sarab2020 awww Honey don't feel bad feeling emotional rollercoaster possibly could be a good sign 🤞. I hve been feeling emotional outburst and end up crying 😭 like literally everyday for last 4-5 days over silly things and try to talk myself & control by saying this is not good for my baby 🤪.

I Remember on Wednesday I literally hugged my DH and cried out saying I miss my mum coz she lives in US so I knw can't meet her whn I feel like x 😭

I am sure it's absolutely normal but being aware will help 🤗. We can do this 2 more sleeps x

Don't think I'm gonna sleep to well hubby is on nights so will be doing the test 6am when he walks in, but if I'm awake and need a wee before hand do u think it will make a difference if it isn't first wee of the day? I just have full and slightly sensitive boobies nothing else x

@Haych1985 I had a wee about 3am before testing. How many days are you post transfer? Good luck!

My otd is tomorrow I'm 13dp5dt - I did test at 5dp5dt bfn but I think it would be to early. My due period dates have come and gone. I've had slight cramping and pulling sensation yesterday but feel fine today other than fuller boobs.
I've had a tough tww tbh I found out 9 days ago my mum has breast cancer. And it's took my mind off the tww. I'm not expecting this to work, but as each day goes by and I haven't come on I do have hope 🤞🏻

@Haych1985 I am so sorry about your Mum. 💐 That is a lot for you to deal with. I hope you have some good support around you.
Wishing you all the luck with the test this morning. 🤞🤞🤞 I am impressed you managed to resist testing until now!

@Chooklass my boobs are not really sore even now! Only if I give them a good squeeze 😂 what dpt are you? Will you hold out for the OTD?

@Haych1985 sorry to hear about your mum. All the luck in the world for testing 🤞🤞

@Haych1985 I'm so sorry about your Mum, that's a huge blow to deal with on top of IVF xx💐

9dp3dt today @FlapJackered - holding out til blood test on Weds as I hate poas!! I think if I tested I would still agonise over whether it's accurate at this stage, regardless of result, so there's no point! My nipples are itchy today! 😆

@haych1985 So sorry to hear about your Mum. It never rains and then it pours! Hoping you get some good news today 🤞🏼
