@Bethpalmer20 @Donimo @Itsjustme2021 @Itsjustme2021 @Lclarke111 @Orsh @RedFaerieBoots new thread as it wouldn't let me reply

@IVFbabyF the tiredness is the worst, right?! Thank you for that. I haven't felt nauseous yet but I'm on 5 & half weeks and tbh I had no morning sickness with my son so maybe I have a higher tolerance to hcg 🤷🏽‍♀️ do you have any pictures of your tests? This was mine

@Lclarke111 a break away for the TWW sounds amazing 😍

@Crazydoglady123 I thought I was been dramatic with how tired I was but wow it just completely floored me. Sickness is worse now at 8.5 weeks, can keep anything down. My tests looked exactly the same as yours, I also started testing at 6dp5dt.

@Lclarke111 getting away for the TWW is a great idea! Try and keep your mind off of it as much as you can!

@IVFbabyF some days I manage to get through to early evening but other days I can barely keep my eyes open come lunch time 😂 ugh the sickness doesn't sound nice. They say with two it's worse 😬 I hope it doesn't last too long for you or you manage to find something to keep down

@Crazydoglady123 mine are quite similar to yours and I only have one. But to be honest I have seen girls with twins and lighter tests. So you could easily have twins if you had two embryos.
I also am vvveerryy tired! It's exaggerated 
@Lou8319 your scan sounds great!! baby looks real now

My tests are 2nd 7dp5dt and 6th is 11dp5dt

@Sungirl11 you just can't tell without the scan, can you 🙈 I need to stop over thinking it all and wait for Wednesday. Not long to go now 🙄

@Crazydoglady123 i believe that will be your best chance! How do you feel? What does your gut tell you?

I'm near my 8w now, 2 months! Still can't believe it...
Due to my clinic not being very professional... they have offered to do a scan and the Harmony test for free at 10w and we can include knowing the sex already. I'm not sure how I feel about knowing so early! Haha
@Lou8319 @6543336787gesgvjhg have you had the Harmony test done?
Xx

@Sungirl11 hmmm it's hard as I definitely think I'm starting to show very early but it'll be my second pregnancy so could just be because of that. The last couple of weeks since the test I've been joking to my oh and saying our 'babies' and 'twins' but now I just feel a bit like surely I'd have more symptoms by now if both had implanted. Ugh I can't keep second guessing. Three more days 😂🙈
That's amazing you're getting another scan and the harmony test! Shame it meant a bad experience with your clinic to get them though.

@Sungirl11 we’ve just done the normal tests you get with NHS and will wait til 20
Week scan for gender.

@Sungirl11 no haven't had the harmony test. Will just have the screening done at 12 week scan next Monday xx

Amazing news girls! Congratulations on your BFPs, scans, twins 😊
What a great surprise @IVFbabyF. Thank you for sharing the success of The One embryo.

I am scheduled for FET in June, just started the oestrogen tablets recently.

Good luck with the scans this week!

I’d be curious if anyone else has their scan and gets a different date than they were expecting. By the clinics calculations and the 7 week scan we were due 8 Dec, by the 12 week scan we’re now 5 Dec

@Lou8319 yes, this happens. My friend was due mid July according to period etc, but due to the size of the baby she is now due end of June (whole 2w before). But it's all good and baby is perfect, just grew a wee bit quicker.

I've received my letter with my 12w ultrasound but it's been booked at 11w. I think they haven't looked at my IVF but my period and got the dates wrong... and as no one has called or anything they don't know anything
I find it a bit unprofessional to not even call and ask (as I did write down it was IVF and IVF is not always in sync with periods...). Anyway... I called to discuss this on the phone they mention in the letter but no answer... so idk.

Hi @Sungirl11 my midwife arranged ours for 11 weeks but hubby couldn't make it so it's next Monday now and I'll be 12 weeks 4 days. I believe as long as it's between 11 weeks 2 days and 14 weeks then that is fine.

At 7 week scan I measured the same as the days but we will see Monday if its changed. Currently 16th but my brothers 30th is the 15th 🤣🤣

@6543336787gesgvjhg aw ok, thank you for the info.
I just thought it's strange because it says it's my 12w scan and it mentions it is between 12-14w, but it's arranged the exact day I am 11w... so the info is contradictory but maybe it isn't so accurate or no slots or something. Xx

Just coming back on to say I had my scan and we're having twins! Two healthy heartbeats ❤️❤️ Have attached the scan pic of anyone wants to see it (the sacs make it look like an alien 👽🤣)

@Crazydoglady123 congratulations!! Your gut feeling was right haha
How are you feeling?

Thank you @Sungirl11! Just soooo so tired, like drowsy tired. No sickness though 🙌 How are you?

@Crazydoglady123 congratulations!

@Crazydoglady123 i'm really well! After that horrible migraine and the one only day of sickness which I trust was related to the migraine... i've felt completely fine.
Just the standard symptoms: sore breasts, odd mild period type pain, gasping for a bit of air when going up stairs and yes tiredness is a strong one but getting better.

No bleeding/spotting, no sickness, no nausea, no constipation...

I got my scan changed for the following week when I'm 12w. She said It was that day because it was calculated with my period and that day they determine the size, but I told her my 7w scan my baby was measuring 7w so she said she would change it to w12 then. And waiting for midwife to call and tell me when to see her and get bloods done too. All the phone numbers on my letter where incorrect and it was a nightmare to speak to someone about this... I kept on getting sent from one to another all saying it's not their department. 🙈
Also I feel it's all a bit laidback as they think i'm 9+1 and still haven't been called to get my 8-10w bloods... not sure if they expect people to be available last minute. Anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️ lucky i'm a week less and I don't worry too much. Xx

@Crazydoglady123 huge congratulations!!!!

@Sungirl11 it's a shame that all the numbers are wrong and no one contacting you. I had bloods done at 8 weeks and met the midwife, said I had an infection so had to get more done but haven't heard back. Glad you got the scan changed though.

Does anyone feel not pregnant? Like I have to keep reminding myself?! The last few days I've not felt pregnant at all. I'm hoping all is ok at the scan Monday. I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow. Just doesn't seem real at all.

I've got my first covid jab on Saturday - will they ask if I am pregnant or do I tell them as need a certain jab.

@6543336787gesgvjhg I felt exactly the same. Even though I was still nauseous I just didn’t feel pregnant. Even the day after I had the scan I had to look at the picture to make sure!
I can tell you now at 13+3 my stomach has popped and I feel pregnant!

@6543336787gesgvjhg also for my COVID jab when we got there they said it was Pfizer that day, but I also got asked when I got inside if I could be pregnant and they added it to their records.
Depending how old you are you should get the option of anything other than AstraZeneca anyway.

Thank you @Lou8319 my friend has booked in for the same time for her jab so I was worried about mentioning it but hopefully it will be private rather than all open plan.

That's really helped thank you. I think it's also because I'm 12 weeks now and usually you would tell people but obviously not had our scan yet. Planning to tell everyone next weekend (12th/13th) but still seems so far away. A lot of people won't be surprised as know we were trying and also some know about IVF.

It's weird I feel sick but I'm hungry. I eat feel ok but then feel sicky again. I've never been sick though. I find that strange. I've been ok the last few days but feeling it again today. It's because I've said I don't feel pregnant and he/she is just reminding me. Fingers crossed everything is all ok xxx
