Starting a new thread!

Good luck tomorrow @MrsLouB and @HJF84

Thanks for the well wishes for my ET. Just hope it thaws ok and the 2ww can begin!

@Pattaz2711 don't worry at all, this is what we are here for to support each other. How are you feeling now?

@elleceedee I'm ok I've taken one lot an take another lot of antibiotics before bed.. then 2 tomz. I'm ok just getting in a state again 🙈.. how are you feeling lovely xx

@Pattaz2711 oh hun, water infections are yuck. No wonder you feel so horrid. I agree with the others. A blood test on Monday might help to take a bit of the stress away. Big hug x

Who else misses or is going to miss a bath??

I had a cheeky B&M trip and got a bath pillow, where has this been all my life??! Thought I'd have one final soak before ET. Actually going to miss coffee and baths the most in the next 2 weeks, it's a small sacrifice but coffee is my weakness!

@Mrbay good luck today.. thinking if you lots..
yes I miss the baths the coffee.. My shower is not even worth trying to get under 😂.. I bloody hate it.
Your be just fine ❤️xxx

@HT2101 thank you. Yeh they are. I'm going to phone tomorrow I think xx how are you today xxx

Morning everyone. Good luck today @Mrbay - very exciting! I'm seeing my best friend in person today for the first time since feb, I can't wait 😊

Good luck for today @Mrbay!!

@Mrbay I also love a bath - we had our main bathroom done last year and it's honestly the most beautiful room in the house, I love relaxing in the bath... Not at the moment though! Oh well hopefully it's for a good reason! Good luck for today, thinking of you!

6dp5dt for me and again an extremely faint second line on FRER this morning. Exactly the same as yesterday, not darker at all. Maybe a chemical with it being so light and not progressing?

@Pattaz2711 glad you’re going to give them a ring tomorrow. Fingers crossed they can get a blood test organised for you ASAP xx

Thanks for the well wishes girls, not long now and I'll be PUPO and suffering from caffeine withdrawal! I didn't even bother to have one last G&T last night!!

Oh @elleceedee - that was my plan for this year and then lockdown hit so its been sidelined a little.

@Eggling - enjoy meeting with your friend, it's so nice that we can now start to mingle again.

Hiya I’m 4dp5dt today and the meds and making me a mood swinging hormonal mess. Trying to decide when I should test. (Commented on one of these treads other day but can’t remember which one sorry!) hope everyone is well x

Do you ladies want a laugh as hubby doesn't find me funny at all.. it's not ivf related but thought I'd share..
so I ordered a clothes rail thought core this is a bargain.. went an pick it up today thought wow that's small got home this is what I've ordered didn't read the description 😂😂😂

🤣🤣 I think you should blame baby brain for that @Pattaz2711

Haha @Pattaz2711 baby brain at its finest!

Oh what you like @Pattaz2711 🤣🤣🤣

@BuffyFanForever - welcome!! I'm going to try to wait until 9dp5dt but I think 5dp5dt is still a little early

@BuffyFanForever I love your name! A few of us here are early testers (me included) but some prefer to wait - there are definite pros and cons to both. Is this your first transfer?

I'm on 6dp5dt at the moment and got an extremely faint line yesterday and today - barely visible and didn't get darker today.

I prefer to test early because I like to know what's going on - even if this ends up being a chemical pregnancy I feel like I know at least it tried to implant and have that information to take into my next cycle.

HOWEVER I would also warn against it as it's an expensive habit and doesn't necessarily provide any real reassurance as a lot can happen between 5dp5dt (when lots of women do get a faint BFP!) and OTD! I obsess about line progression and how dark the test is - sometimes I wish I could just stay in the pupo bubble and not worry!

Also I have read SO many stories of women testing daily, getting BFNs all the way up to OTD then suddenly getting a BFP... It's a complete minefield actually!

@elleceedee thanks! No I’ve been at this for ages but last transfer was unsuccessful end of January and just as we were about to do next one lock down happened. I’ve done both test super early and wait before so not sure this time! Hope you guys are well! I’ve no symptoms at all....

@BuffyFanForever welcome to the group.. I was an early tester so I can't comment lol.. 5dp5dt I think is to early. FroM experience on this one.
Your with soMe good ladies here..

@HT2101 least I have a cover an hangers just need something to hang them on 😂.. I keep saying to him, you gonna use your clothes rail. I've been told to piss of a few times today lol.. how you feeling lovely..

@Mrbay 🤣🙈.. hope your ok lovely xx

Hi , hope all are well .

@Mrbay am on it x3 . I feel much better today. Am planning to order for test kit late tomorrow for a wed delivery.
Congrats being PUPO love.
@Pattaz2711- I too hope they get the blood test done tomorrow.
😂😂😂 totally agree -it can’t be anything else but good hormones !

@BuffyFanForever welcome .

Hi, I used a frer at 9 days past transfer (OTD) and it was negative. Could this be too early? I bought it off amazon and having read the reviews, I’m not sure of its reliability either.
I have some midstream tests that the clinic gave me but they have no instructions! Has anyone ever used the surescreen ones before? Clinic have told me to retest Tuesday and I thought I’d use their one tomorrow and a boots one on Tuesday!
I do think I’m probably making it worse for myself in the long run clinging onto the tiny bit of hope! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Evening all!

I'm all good, watched rubbish TV today (Mama June From Hot to Not) its total trash but it's my guilty pleasure!

Just got a few cramps now so DH is now my nurse and I am not lifting a finger for the next week!! Pay back is a b*tch!

@EffortIsSuccess20 - how are you feeling now?

@camfam1 - welcome!! I did see those reviews so I've held off ordering from Amazon.

@Camfan1 - is it like this?

@Mrbay thank you, but I don’t think it is unfortunately! It says it’s a midstream one (I usually only ever pee in a cup lol rather than use midstream ones!) I haven’t opened it up in case it needs to be sealed until you use it. I can tell there’s no instructions in there though. I’ve tried googling surescreen midstream tests but can’t find any instructions.

Really wish I hadn’t used the frer from Amazon now as it’s given me a tiny bit of hope that it might be a false negative!
