@Pattaz2711 - here it is - www.katenegus.com/product/kn-navy-kentucky-bag/
It was a present from my DH and DM as I only ever have the one bag.

Life is too short to be negative - hopefully my positive mindset gives a good based for Sunday, it'll be AM so no Sunday afternoon booze for me!

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 18:02

@Mrbay lush bag.. are you looking forward to Sunday?

I'm feeling sick again now am really bad stomach pains. An I was glad to get my bloody bra off tonight..

How are you all ladies how's your day been xxx

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 18:05

I've paired the socks up
Washed all the clothes an put them away ( for once)

elleceedee · 27/06/2020 08:04

Teeny tiny hint of a second line on FRER this morning, tried to take a pic to ask if you can see it or if I'm going mad but it doesn't show up on the photo at all! I don't think I'm seeing things. DH refusing to even look at a test until OTD.

@Pattaz2711 - thank you! I lusted after it for ages! Umm, I suppose, I'm not excited this time as the last3 transfers just taking each day as it comes.
Well done on your 3 positives! I need to put my washing away as well!

Oh @elleceedee - that's exciting!

pattaz2711 · 27/06/2020 08:39

@Mrbay what are you doing today? Aw. Bless you. Fingers crossed for you.. an lots of love.. let's have another positive day today...

@elleceedee that exciting.. for you.. my DH wouldn't look either. But now is..

my OTD still isn't until Wednesday we've got further this time round x

elleceedee · 27/06/2020 08:54

@Pattaz2711 just catching up with everyone's posts now. That's great you got 2-3 weeks on a digital! How many days past 5dt were you when you got that? I don't think I got 2-3 weeks with DD until my OTD! Did you decide to get HCG test or not?

@Mrbay love the bag! Not long for you to wait now, keep us updated!

Weather is a bit miserable here today so going to make the most of a cooler day by taking the dog out for a big walk - hopefully won't have to carry my huge DD around for most of it like I did the other day! She just refused to walk!

OP posts:
pattaz2711 · 27/06/2020 09:04

@elleceedee I got that at 8dp5dt last but on Monday when I took the test I got
Not pregnant come up an then 4 days later I got that. I still haven't decided I might wait until Monday an then see.. think I'm just scared an literally thought negative from the start rather than getting my hopes up. Just thought of the worst thing really.. I still have to wait until Wednesday which is my OTD date.. how are you feeling? Xx

I don't know how many days past DPO I actually am I'm confused with the transfer lol..

Thing is I suffer really bad with aniexty before this relationship I was In an abusive relationship that's why I ended up in the area I am now.. so I've constantly over thinking think that's why I was so anixous the other day can't accept that something good might be happening if you get what I mean..

That's why I'm so glad that I found this group..

@Mrbay I might have some spare test if you wanted them? I know I will definitely have a clear blue an first response one? Xx

MorgenMuffel · 27/06/2020 09:09

@elleceedee I've got everything crossed that this is the start of your BFP x

Eggling · 27/06/2020 10:03

Morning all, hope everyone is ok. A bit cooler last night which was nicer for sleeping, though I was still awake at the crack of dawn - it's so light so early now.

@elleceedee ooh that's exciting! Hope this is the beginning of very happy news!

I'm waiting for my 5 day update. Same situation as Thursday, I can't concentrate on anything else and don't want to stray too far in case I lose signal and miss the call - my phone is a little temperamental. Hoping they call soon-ish and then I might go for a walk.

pattaz2711 · 27/06/2020 10:25

@Eggling good luck today. Hun hope they call soon xx

Dbrook · 27/06/2020 10:28

@elleceedee great news!! Fingers crossed for you.

@Eggling good luck today x

Ails826 · 27/06/2020 10:32

@Eggling eeek thats so exciting and scary all at the same time.
How are you feeling today? Im freaking out about the ovarian sydrome thing.. like really freaking out now i cant stop crying :(

My positives are that my natropath gave me a massive hug when i saw her this morning and cried and I realised as much as I love my husband i needed a female to give me a big hug so i was so grateful i saw her and got some anxiety drops that seem to be working

And that the weather was rainy today and I love the sound of rain :)

Last injection done... now only the trigger to go tonight

Its so nice you girls are having your day in the middle of the night so that when im awake at night I can read through the chat
Im so glad i found this group thank you xxx
Xxx

Eggling · 27/06/2020 11:20

@Ails826 where are you based? Sorry if you already said and I missed it!

Sorry you're still feeling stressed. All you can do is keep drinking plenty of water and follow the doctors advice. It is so hard though, thinking of you.

pattaz2711 · 27/06/2020 11:29

@Ails826 sorry your feeling low.. you can always messaging in the night aswell.. were all here for each other xx

elleceedee · 27/06/2020 12:42

@Ails826 totally normal to feel up and down during stims, hope you are feeling a little brighter today (or tomorrow if you're reading this in the middle of the night!). Keep hydrated! Good luck for trigger!

@Eggling all the best for your day 5 update, fingers crossed you get some good news.

@Pattaz2711 thank you for the support lovely. Your actual embryo transfer day is classed as day 0 and every day past that will be another day past 5dt. For example, I had my transfer on Monday, so Tuesday was 1dp5dt and today is 5dp5dt. Hope that makes sense!

Thanks for the good wishes @Dbrook and @MorgenMuffel how are you ladies doing?

Well as predicted my DD refused to walk on our walk this morning (just a local walk - we are lucky to have some lovely countryside on our doorstep) and wouldn't even go on my husband's shoulders so I had to carry her for about 3 miles - ffs! She's only 2 but quite big for her age as DH and I are both very tall!

pattaz2711 · 27/06/2020 12:45

@elleceedee I meant past ovulation if we was normal pregnant. Is it 14dpo ? Xx

elleceedee · 27/06/2020 12:51

Oh sorry I completely misunderstood, sorry I'm not with it today!

I think that you just add 5 days to your days past transfer to work out the equivalent dpo - e.g. 5dp5dt = 10dpo, 9dp5dt = 14dpo etc etc.

Everhopeful35 · 27/06/2020 12:53

@elleceedee Great news on the faint positive!! Keep us all updated

@pattaz2711 It sounds like you've really been through it and it's understandable it's made you so anxious. Don't worry about hiding it on here - I'd say that most of us are a bundle of nerves and stress, so you're in very good company! Keep thinking positively. Things are going well so far.

@Eggling Good luck for your day 5 update!

Quick update from me: OHSS has been so bad I've not been able to leave the house except for clinic visits. The swelling is in my back now as well as my stomach and is so painful. Had a meltdown yesterday as I wanted to try and wear something other than stretchy gym trousers and literally none of my clothes fit me, or if they do they cling to my stomach and I look six months pregnant!! But I'm trying to tell myself it's temporary. The good news is that my HCG is rising - it was 55 on Wednesday, 99 on Thursday and this morning it was 216, so happy with that.

pattaz2711 · 27/06/2020 13:36

@Everhopeful35 that's good that it's rising.. that's fab news.. oh no now I'm wanting a blood test again.. lol..
I'm so sorry your feeling so horrible. Have they said to do anything for it.. I know I had OHSS but I can't remember what happened I know I was poorly. Sorry I'm not much use to you.. I can't remember anything lol.. sending you lots of love and hugs.. an hope you feel better soon.. but great news on the bloods congratulations sweet xxxx

pattaz2711 · 27/06/2020 13:38

I'm having really bad pains in my stomach today. An everything I eat it's tasting disgusting.. every time I drink I feel sick.. but my tummy is killing me xx
