[ngy21]

Hi all! Our last thread is full so thought i'd create a new one!

That's great news @SerendipitySunshine that your first IVF worked and this is your 2nd time 😊 I defo need to stop worrying so much big time xx

Hey ladies! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weekend.

My pain from bloat has finally started to go 😭 so happy. Now it's just the uncomfortable bloat.

@2mumsandason how are you holding up? OTD for you tomorrow?!

I managed to hold out so will most likely do it on my OTD on Tuesday 😊 not feeling anything though cept bloat.. so have a feeling it maybe a no 😶

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi @ngy21 - I'm holding up ok...just! Definitely helped having the hen do this weekend. I got back this afternoon and the nerves are starting to kick in, I really don't know what to think! I don't want to think that it might be positive because if it's not then I'm going to be so upset! I really don't know either way!

Well done for holding on so far...so nearly there now! I'm glad the pain has gone for you 😊 try and stay positive!

Hope everyone is keeping well xx

Very, very best of luck @2mumsandason xx

So....we've had some wonderful news this morning - we got a BFP! We are absolutely over the moon 😀

Congratulations @2mumsandason amazing news! How are you feeling?

Thanks @SerendipitySunshine! I'm actually still in a state of shock - it really hasn't sunk in yet!! Emotions all over the place 🤣

@2mumsandason congratulations amazing news hope you are keeping ok xx

@2mumsandason such great news! So very happy for you!!

yeahhhhh! I'm so happy for you! congratulations!! :) :) xx

Thank you so much everyone ❤️ xx

@2mumsandason did you ring up care and let them know about your results? Have they booked in your for ur scan? so very exciting for you and your partner!!!

@ngy21 yeah I rang and let them know. They have booked us in for our viability scan on 22nd October! Thank you so much 😊 how you feeling about tomorrow?

@2mumsandason that's great - glad you've got your scan booked in :)

@ngy21 so glad to hear you're finally feeling better!! how are you feeling about testing? well done for hanging in there and very best of luck for tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you xx

@SerendipitySunshine how are you doing? Has the bleeding stayed the same? Did you manage to get in for a scan today? I can totally understand the worry but I hope everything is fine with you and baby xx

@Lifa I'm so glad your scan went well on Friday and baby is measuring fine and the hematoma has gone down - excellent news! How are you coping with bed rest? I hope you're OK xx

@Novavee glad this break came at the right time for you, and I hope this week won't be as crazy for you!

@beachbum85 thank you I am good, bed rest sounds like a dream.... I am struggling however sticking with it and watching as much as I can to pass time eeeeekkkkkkk! How are you feeling xx

Thanks so much @beachbum85 - still in the assessment unit waiting. I tried for a private scan but nothing nearby until end of the week. Bleeding has stopped, I just want to be reassured really, but this place makes me feel worse!

@SerendipitySunshine I am sure all will be ok and I hope you get your scan ASAP for reassurance 😘 xx

Thinking of you @ngy21 xx

@SerendipitySunshine I hope everything went well yd and you were seen at the assessment unit - glad to hear the bleeding had stopped in the meantime xx

@Lifa I can totally understand... i'd really struggle after a couple of days too! I hope you have good news on Friday and can get back to normal stuff!!
I'm OK but the morning sickness has now hit and I feel nauseous most of the day. Not great but, in a way, it convinces me that something is happening in there :)

Good morning ladies! We have got good news also, BFP! Couldn't believe it!!! Lines came up almost instantly!!!!

@2mumsandason honestly, i was feeling a bit down yesterday and when i woke up this morning i was still hesitating because i thought it would be a negative! Over the moon. Just booked in my scan with care but it's not until 26th Oct. She said as it's in a different and bigger building, my husband can come in with me too! I wonder if we will have the same due dates?!

@beachbum85 thank you! I was nervous but sigh of relief for now! I am wondering if to follow your method and stop testing at a CB 3+ weeks for a piece of mind! Hope you're feeling better with the morning sickness

@Lifa hope you are holding up well, lots of rest!

@SerendipitySunshine hope you manage to book in for your scan for reassurance!

@ngy21 omg that's amazing news!!!! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! I felt exactly the same - didn't want to test and then it came up instantly! My wife can come into my scan too, she's so excited 😊 will be lovely for them to feel more part of it, won't it?! We may well have the same due date...based on the online calculators it says my due date would be 10th June, but I guess we'll just have to see what they say! xx

@beachbum85 sorry to hear about your sickness - positive signs 🙂 I am feeling sick most of the day and gone off practically all food 🤢 @ngy21 congratulations great news xx

Yeahhhhh @ngy21 amazing news!! I'm so happy for you :) :) Congratulations!!

Great that your husband can come to your scan, and your wife to yours @2mumsandason! My partner can't join me at the first NHS scan on the 14 Oct, but we have the private one for Saturday.

@Bluebonnet3 do you have a scan coming up too? How have you been in the meantime?

@Lifa sorry you've been feeling sick as well... unfortunately, in my case I realised that I feel better if I just keep eating, so I'm going to turn into a hippo very soon!

@2mumsandason thank you! Yes they can definitely feel more apart of it! How did you calculate yours? Do you know how far along you are? I am unsure how to calculate, i just assumed OTD would be about 4 weeks but i don't know if i am a bit further along than 4 weeks.

@Lifa thank you! hopefully your relationship with food will get better...!! that would be my worse nightmare lol!!!

@beachbum85 thank you! Is your private one this Saturday? I bet you are excited!

@ngy21 I just googled how to work out IVF due date and it seems to be your EC day + 38 weeks, which would put us both at 10th June. This means according to that calculation we are 4 weeks + 4 days. I'm not sure if the clinic works it out in a different way though 🤷🏻‍♀️
