Thankyou @Viletta that does give a glimmer of hope. I've had a breakdown on DH who said if it'll help we could test tonight, but I don't want to until at least tomorrow.

The cramps are more noticeable tonight and defo feel like my usual. But we'll see 😔

FlapJackered · 04/02/2020 19:20

Good luck testing tomorrow @Pinkstars2501 and @Chooklass I have everything crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞

LouisaPipSqueak · 04/02/2020 19:43

I’m so cold I could cry! Been freezing since last night and haven’t warmed up since. I can feel my bones shivering from within out. Please tell me that a good sign, something’s telling me it’s not! Xx

Chooklass · 04/02/2020 19:44

Thanks for all the good luck messages! 😍 I'm bricking it! 🙈 Been feeling a bit off today. Bloated again and permanently hungry - so difficult to know if it's a good sign or just my body needing AF to get a move on! Xx

Chooklass · 04/02/2020 19:45

I've been freezing the last two days too @LouisaPipSqueak - hope it's a good sign for both of us! 🤞

LouisaPipSqueak · 04/02/2020 19:46

Oh gosh I hope so! Good luck @Chooklass please let us know xx

Viletta · 04/02/2020 19:50

@Pinkstars2501 yes you need to wait for fmu. How many days are you post transfer?

41trying · 04/02/2020 20:17

Evening all!
Sorry I have been so quite this last week after my BFN. I have decided to do a follow up appointment which is this Thursday to discuss options. Reading back through the thread, can people give me some info on Q10 or DHEA supplements? Just need to think of everything before my appointment.
Congratulations on everyone with their BFP and hoping everyone like me with BFN have plans in place as it can take you into a dark place. Support is best, even though it does feel so raw at the moment.
Advice on supplements appreciated.

@Viletta today I'm 9 days past 5 day transfer. So if AF doesn't show by Thursday I'll test in the morning. I just know it's negative though in my heart.

Viletta · 04/02/2020 20:45

@Pinkstars2501 I would test day on day 12th just to be certain. If af comes test as well. You never know it might work even with bad cramps!

BambiOnIce80 · 04/02/2020 20:52

I was taking 200mg of CoQ10 for about 8 months before @41trying and I decided not to go there with the DHEA (didn't like the sound of the contraindications/adverse effects). Please let us know how you get on with the next steps on Thursday.x

I honestly felt like AF was coming @QuantumGirl! In hindsight, I'd had a little dull ache on my lower right hand side that kept coming and going, but I thought that was from where the transfer catheter had grazed my endometrium 🤷‍♀️ I was bloated, my boobs had stopped hurting (at the time), I was very mildly queasy (thought it was the progesterone) and I had to have an afternoon nap on the Sunday (OTD 2 days later). Our little embie was a 4AA too, so hopefully yours will be just as lucky 🍀 🤞🍀🤞🍀

Sending you tonnes and tonnes of love and positivity for tomorrow @Chooklass @Pinkstars2501 💓💓💓

Stace999 · 04/02/2020 23:16

@QuantumGirl ah I see thanks sorry I read DE as donor embryo, so many abbreviations! That's a good embryo..fingers crossed for you xx

Pinkstars2501 · 05/02/2020 06:31

My cramps have ramped up over night and I've started spotting very slightly too, so I'll get a test for the morning but I think it's pretty much a done deal that it's failed tbh.
My husband says you never know until you know so let's just cross it when we come to it, but It's so hard to remain positive for OTD when I can feel it (literally) slipping away.

Anyway, enough negative nelly. Good luck to today's testers 😊

Wimbledon1 · 05/02/2020 07:12

@Pinkstars2501 I'm still keeping everything crossed for you. I've had cramps on/off for a fortnight and got my BFP in the middle so it can just be bodies. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Good luck to you/ @Chooklass and anyone else testing today 💖

Chooklass · 05/02/2020 07:12

I just poas so I was prepared for blood result yesterday. Shoved straight back in packet and too scared to look now 😱. My cramps are worse too and I feel really jittery.

Chooklass · 05/02/2020 07:13

I mean today. Brain is mush!

BambiOnIce80 · 05/02/2020 07:25

OMG @Chooklass how the hell have you got the will power not to look?!?! 🤯🙈🤯🙈

Sorry to hear you've started spotting @Pinkstars2501 💐 Your OH is right though - good luck 🍀

Pinkstars2501 · 05/02/2020 07:29

Thankyou.
@Chooklass come on, put yourself out of your misery lol

FlapJackered · 05/02/2020 07:29

@Pinkstars2501 spotting is not necessarily a bad sign, my sister had bleeding and had a bfp. Keeping everything crossed for you. 🤞

@Chooklass 😂 🙈 how can you not look!
🤞🤞🤞 I was so jittery when I did the test I thought I was going to pass out from nerves, so I totally get it! X

Chooklass · 05/02/2020 07:44

We looked!! BFP!! 😱😍🥳😲

BambiOnIce80 · 05/02/2020 07:54

YEEEESSSSSS @Chooklass!!!, 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉😊🎉🥳 🎉 🥳

BambiOnIce80 · 05/02/2020 07:55

... Yep, I'm more than a little bit excited for you! 🤩😂🤩😂

Wimbledon1 · 05/02/2020 07:57

Congratulations!!! 🥰 That must have felt the most torturous half hour of your life!!

QuantumGirl · 05/02/2020 08:03

Congratulations @Chooklass. That's lovely news 😍😍😍😍

@Pinkstars2501 when are you testing? The nurses at my clinic told me not to worry about bleeding and test anyway 🤞❤️🤞❤️🤞❤️

Stace999 · 05/02/2020 08:06

Yaaay congratulations @Chooklass that's fantastic news.
@Pinkstars2501 lots of people have cramps and even heavy bleeding and it's still a viable pregnancy just more things sent to try us!
I am trying to put it all to the back of my mind, easier said than done when I have to insert a progesterone pessary 3 x per day! Busy few days at work now which will help. We test on the 16th..eleven million days away!
