TWW Jan/Feb 2020

[41trying]

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

Good luck @littlelot and @jemimafuddleduck everything crossed for you tomorrow 🤞

BFN for me this morning. I'll be stepping away from this thread now - wishing you all the very best of luck ladies.

I just tested and got bfp! Shaking a little bit now as had convinced myself it would be negative. I know this is stupid but what does the bf bit stand for? I know the p is positive.

After last time, it is somewhat muted as I feel I’m waiting again for the scan. Don’t think I’ll relax til I see a little heartbeat. Husbands reaction was very quiet and I know it’s because last time he’d got his hopes up and the MMC hit him hard.

But the hope is still alive and the waiting continues 😁 cake but no wine for my birthday!

Good luck today @jemimafuddleduck.

Sorry @jemimafuddleduck didn’t mean to cross post. Take care of yourself today. Xx

@jemimafuddleduck sorry to hear your news.

@littlelot congratulations and what a birthday present!

@littlelot Big fat positive/negative

I'm heartbroken for you @jemimafuddleduck 💐😔 Be very kind to yourself - you did everything you could.x

That is a lovely birthday present @Littlelot! 😊 I think you deserve extra cake! 🎂 How long until your scan?x

That's good that you can work from home @FlapJackered - keep the stress to a minimum 👍 I had ET on Sunday and went back to work on Tuesday (you're right - the distraction was well needed! 🤯). I was knackered last night, but I think that's probably just the emotional stress of it all building up in my case. How come they've got you on prednisone, if you don't mind me asking?x

What plans have people got to keep themselves distracted/relaxed this weekend? Hope it's something nice.x

Oh dear @jemimafuddleduck so sorry it was a BFN, take good care of yourself.

@Littlelot congratulations.

@ BambiOnIce80 hmm, I wish I could take my mind of and just carry on today, I woke up early and almost tested because I am having tiny cramps (no where near d severe cramp pain I had Thursday) same as when AF is about to start, also every first day of my cycle I always (TMI) have loose stool which I did already.
My AF was due yesterday.

I am so tempted to test, my HPT cheapies i got from eBay just got delivered.

Ladies am I the only one feeling like AF is about to start or it’s the pasearies? God help me stay sane.😁

Hello everyone,

I’ve been lurking on this thread for a few days but Mumsnet kept saying it wasn’t allowing new registrations. But I’m now in.

So many heartbreaking stories to get this far. I am on my first round and had a 5dt on Wednesday (so think I am on exactly the same as you @FlapJackered). But some of you have had so many attempts, I’m sorry to read what you’ve been through. I really hope everyone gets their dream this time. @Littlelot huge congratulations on your news and while I can see you don’t want to get your hopes up too much, you’ve just smashed another milestone :)

@jemimafuddleduck I am so sorry. Take care of yourself ❤️

@Littlelot congratulations!! You must be over the moon, what a birthday present! I am with you on the MMC, I had a mc too and I know it will take a while to feel totally happy and secure about a bfp. I think you just have to take it day by day. I listened to a podcast where the host was saying to remind yourself 'you're pregnant today', and each day is a step towards a baby. X

@BambiOnIce80 I think they put me on it as a precaution because I have a thyroid problem and also I had a miscarriage about a year ago so they have also put me on a blood thinning injection. 🤞all worth it if it helps!
We are just having a chilled one this weekend, walking the dog and a pub lunch planned for tomorrow. How about you?

Welcome @Wimbledon1 😁
Yes we are at the same dpt! Is it going as slowly for you as it is for me? 🙈
When is your OTD?

Thanks!

It’s not actually too bad because I’ve got an early test date of next Friday (31st) so under a week to go, which I think is quite quick? But then that worries me because I think “what if they get it wrong”. Then I have to remind myself it might be my first time, but it isn’t theirs 😂

Hello Ladies, so many ups and down on this thread.. wish strength to all to manage through the situation - be it positive or negative. Please can i gather thoughts on testing a day before the suggested day by clinic ? My clinic has suggested to test 12 dp5dt,. However i would like to test on 11th day using Clearblue..any thoughts if that is right thing to do ?

Great news @Littlelot! I can understand your slightly mixed feelings but I think this process is all about keeping hope alive, and hope is very much alive for you!

🤞 for many more BFPs on here!

Congratulations @littlelot. Such lovely birthday news. Try not to stress too much, enjoy the moment!

@Wimbledon1 that does seem a bit early, is that a blood test?

@flapjackered I'm also on the blood thinning injection too - inhixa. Took me bloody ages to get the cap off last night! Are you finding the injections extra sore? I think I'm extra sensitive because of the oestrogen and progesterone, but it's so sore! I didn't flinch with the EC injections.

@Rovera12 I'm sorry that this wait and the symptoms are sending you barmy too 💐 My little dull ache on my lower right hand side is getting more persistent (but not during the night 🤔), but I'm also getting 'night sweats' the last few nights which I usually get about 3 days before AF so that makes me think that my dull ache is a sign of AF being on her way 🙄 I'm trying to not focus on it and get that 'Che sera, sera' attitude back into my head for OTD on Tuesday 🔮 Your right about the pessaries - they do a very good impression of AF arriving when combined with the other symptoms and I have to keep running to the loo to check! 🙄🤦‍♀️

Welcome @Wimbledon1 👋 May your TWW be a fast one 🤞

@duckhouse , 11dp5dt should hopefully be accurate enough to pick up some hCG - what does the package insert say on your clearblue test about its sensitivity/detection limit? If it's 25-50IU it might not be sensitive enough for an early test.

Ah OK, that makes sense @FlapJackered 👍 I'm already putting my thoughts together about what to ask the docs if this cycle doesn't work and steroids was going to be one of those questions (plan for the worse, hope for the best and all that! 😉). That sounds like a very nice and chilled weekend you've got yourself there 😊 We're chilling with 'hip hop evolution' on Netflix today and then going out to our favourite restaurant for dinner tonight with DP's BFF and his new girlfriend who we've not met yet... I'm hoping that grilling her will completely distract my brain from the TWW! 😂

Hi all hope you don't mind me joining in .... seen some familiar names from other thread

Just had my day 5 ET with 1 beautiful embie ❤️ and the TWW has begun with blood test date for 4th but I have postpone that till 7 Feb as it's hubby's birthday so we can have welcoming news on his birthday and a beautiful Present for life for him x 🙏🏻🤞 x

Any suggestion to help with implantation and any good pregnancy prenatal ? X

@MissHoney85 yes it’s a blood test so I guess they know what they’re doing. But if it’s a BFN and I’m not spotting by the Monday I’ll probably starting convincing myself it’s wrong!

👋🏻 @twinkleyes35 good willpower delaying your test three days!

Checking in! Day 3 ET this morning and OTD 5th Feb xxx

@BambiOnIce80 my cramping still ache has contined not I'm spotting. Trying to remain positive but looking more like I am joining the bfn group.

Big hugs to all the ladies today, there are some real highs and lows in the thread today. Much love and kindness to you all x

You're a much more patient woman than me @twinkleyes35! 😯😂 The only recommendations I had from my clinic was to carry on as normal (but don't do any high impact exercise) and that staying happy tends to give better outcomes 🙂

Welcome on board @Chooklass! 😍 The good thing about a Saturday ET is that you can have a lovely couple of days chilling 😊

How many dpt are you now @Bestofyou1982? Could it be IB? 🤞🏻

@BambiOnIce80 had frozen 5day embryo transfer Tueaday morning. I'm on 2 lots of pessaries, 3 hormone tablets and various other things too so hoping just drug side effect. But feel like start of period. Although I've no idea when due on with all injections etc over last however many weeks. Thanks for listening. Hope you are having a good day?

Thank you everyone. I am definitely happy but just trying to take it a day at the time @FlapJackered I really like that idea of just thinking ‘I’m pregnant today’ it’ll be my new mantra! @BambiOnIce80 Ive got about 3 weeks til the scan! So it’s another wait - I’ll be examining symptoms even more and unlike most pregnant women hoping that I keep feeling nauseous 😁!

I think I convinced myself it would be negative and that AF was definitely coming as a form of self-protection. We’ve all been through so much just to end up here I think it’s natural to prepare for the worst so we don’t get more hurt. Im wishing everyone the best!

I will keep lurking on this board if people don’t mind - you have all been such a big support as I’ve been really private about the whole thing in real life!

@twinkleyes35 I can’t believe you have the patience to put it back! I’m in awe. My clinic advised carrying on as normal ie. my usual exercise was okay but not to take up anything new. The only other thing was no to really hot baths.
