@XjustagirlX it’s still really early to get a positive even if you are pregnant. I think if I had tested at 5dp5dt I would have got a negative. I had a feint positive at 8dp5dt but line progression was good from then onwards. Currently 5 weeks 4 days and my early scan is booked for 28th March. I’ve attached a photo for you to see and I hope may put your mind to rest

@Clarps84 congrats on being pregnant! I’m currently day 11 but deciding to do my first test on day 14. It’s interesting to see how dark your lines got in just a few days. Did you get any symptoms?

@Bluehawaii29 I can't believe you've held out for so long. You've done so well especially showing all these symptoms.
I've woke up feeling so scared.
I went out with my MIL yesterday and we had a look in baby shops and at cars. And whilst it's all exciting I cannot help but think fear. What if the babies are so small and poorly. What if there are some thing wrong. I'm in such a state I think im going to ring the hospital and speak to a councillior.

I probably shouldn't be feeling like this on here, all you lovely ladies getting excited and some will be thinking I'm stupid for even feeling like this. And here's me worrying like crazy . I really need to stop googling . X

@Bluehawaii29 Thank you! I’m really happy but also really nervous for my scan.
I did have symptoms. From day 2/day 3 after transfer I had very mild cramps. Not sure I’d even call them cramps, more like a dull ache. No symptoms for a couple of days then from day 6 until day 9 I had the worst headache….nothing would ease it. I was also very emotional at this point, crying over tv adverts!! Again, I had a couple of days of no real symptoms then the tiredness and nausea really kicked in. The symptoms come and go. I feel sick in the morning but I nibble on a ginger biscuit and that eases it. Then I feel pretty normal most of the day, but the nausea will come back in waves maybe about 3 times a day.
You’ve done so well to wait until day 11! Do you have mixed feelings about testing?

@Justawannabemam aw I'm sending hugs your way. Nobody would judge you for feeling scared, finding out you're having triplets would certainly take some adjusting. I hope that your babies won't be small or poorly but if they are a little early you will find that strength to cope. I think speaking to a counsellor is a good idea and I hope you feel better soon.

Congrats @Clarps84 great line progression!

@XjustagirlX it's likely just a little too early. I hope it changes for you over the next few days.

@Justawannabemam aww it’s only natural you feel like this, and increased anxiety is well known but it is a good idea to reach out to the counsellor. Just have to take small steps and get through the checks and scans and try to live as normal life as possible in meantime.
@Clarps84 Yeah I know I should really be testing right now. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I even called the clinic yesterday, spoke to one of the nurses just mentioned about the right sided shoulder pain I was getting that evening and bit of sharp pains in tummy and then she said she would check with a dr and guess what they said to me yesterday. Do a pregnancy test now and if positive go to A&E?! I was thinking wth, the shoulder pain completely fine since and no tummy pains so I’m glad I held off. After all the waiting and then rushing the test like that when I already exhausted yesterday. This time I really want my body to give me the answer before the test, the fact I’ve got to day 11 and my cramping is lessening rather than increasing is a huge difference in itself compared to first cycle. I am trying to be hopeful but at same time I’m not good at getting any results. Never have been so I always manage to convince myself it will be negative even if the evidence supporting a positive is so overwhelming. There will always be that doubt and fear in my mind. Just hope I can do it on Friday x

@Bluehawaii29 I can’t believe they said that to you! Really don’t need that kind of stress at the moment.
I think it’s great that you haven’t tested yet, they say to wait 14 days for a reason. I know I got a bfp at 8dp5dt which was great, however, I worried that the line was too feint and should be stronger. Whereas, my line at 12dp5dt was really strong. A couple of days can make a huge difference to hcg at this time. I’m sure you’ll get a positive from all your symptoms

@Clarps84 yeah I know I burst out crying after that call, was no help at all and just increased my anxiety if anything else. Aww thank you, I really hope so xx

@Bluehawaii29 I totally get that, it’s such an anxiety driven time anyway

@Bluehawaii29 I've been checking in everyday just to see if you have test yet! Couple of days to go ! Keeping everything crossed for you ! And anyone else in the 2ww!!

@Justawannabemam nobody would judge you, if anything i would feel exactly the same as you and your feelings sound completely normal 💕

@Bluehawaii29 I'm glad your feeling better than you were & didnt rush to do a test like they said!
I had a similar situation when doing stims i had sharp pains in ovaries & they told me to go to a&e if it was that bad but then things calmed down. I wonder if they say it to cover themselves?

@IVFGotThis05 aww thanks for thinking of me. Im still hanging around lol this is the furthest I’ve reached now in terms of day count so let’s hope it continues 🤞 @Gigi89x yeah I even said to the nurse why a&e, are you worried about ectopic because they aren’t normally big enough at this stage to cause any rupture and rarely symptoms noticeable until it’s big and she didn’t know what to say. She agreed in the end that I can just wait if that suits me better. I guess they just have to cover their backs like you said

@Justawannabemam I sympathise with you completely. I know we are ‘only’ set to have two, but I’m terrified and my husband is “scared”. The first thing I did was start looking at the outcomes for multiples. It is just such a shock. All we can do for now is take it a day at a time. Yesterday when I heard the news I’d already said we’d need to move homes, cities (so to be closer to parents) and potentially change careers. But I’ve realised today that I have no control over the outcome. I need to hope for the best, try to stay calm and focus on the small steps. It’s not unreasonable to prepare for multiples to end up in NICU for a small amount of time but it’s a case of crossing that bridge if you get to it. I’m trying hard to think about being calm and positive (even in the face of some interesting reactions from family). You can and will cope! Xxx

@W1ngingit I've sent you a PM

WOWWWZERS @Justawannabemam and @W1ngingit what brilliant news!!!

I know it must be scary, but wow, wow, wow, it can also be a dream come true!!!

I've been a bit absent and just catching up now, so happy for both of you and everyone else with good progress the last couple of weeks... and courage to those who'll be making another pass at this 💜

I'm back on stimming... WAY less stress this time, I'm actually on holidays; my doc agreed to review a baseline scan by SMS from a centre over here to green light my start of cycle, will be back with her for a CD6 scan on Thursday. Making an effort this time to relax, drink loads of water, oily fish and protein (not so easy as a lapsed vegan 😇)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the success stories!! This is our second round, so I especially like the ones that work out in round two 🤩

@LuckyNovember i'm glad to hear you have started your second cycle & hope you are enjoying your holiday! My first cycle failed and I'm waiting for my follow up with consultant in 2 weeks. It feels like ages away!

@Millymillymillymillymilly heyy how are you feeling today? I went for couple of short walks and didn’t have any appetite until literally an hr ago when I suddenly started craving cheese on toast so just had that and tasted amazing. Loved the salty taste of the cheese more than normal

@LuckyNovember -thank you

@Gigi89x I was far more relaxed 2nd time round fingers crossed for you. Easier said than done but they (hopefully) know your body better 2nd time round x.

All these success stories are making me feel much more positive about this cycle.x

Guys please give me some strength to keep waiting. My OH is away at a work event so was gone today and they are doing dinner after so he won’t be back till late. I’m on my own and tomorrow he’s away all day again. It’s killing me. Just me and the tests staring at me. Really need some help please x

@Bluehawaii29 hoping that it’s a sign for you!!!

I’ve not had any additional symptoms. As usual, except work is kicking my butt at the mo! But I’ve stopped testing because it’s adding to my anxiety, I keep thinking the line isn’t dark enough… so I’ve stopped and will only test again on OTD. Still debating whether I should go get my bloods done, because even if beta was low, there’s nothing I can do, so I might as well enjoy being pregnant for as long as I can… Just so scared that it can all go wrong… ahhhh

Hi I know it's late in the day, but can I join the thread? I'm in the over 40s thread, but it's quite quiet at the moment. This is my 2nd round IVF, I had a BFP today 10dp5dt (via blood test). I'm now in that odd phase of feeling happy but now also waiting for the next step. My clinic does another blood test at 12dp5dt to see if HCG doubles. So now that is my next thing to fret about. Really wish I wasn't a worrier!

@Bryterlayter1 congratulations what was your blood level today?

@Justawannabemam Thanks, 104. Clinic said most important thing is to see that it has doubled in 2 days time. So will just need to wait and see. It's all a waiting game isn't it?

Hi is anyone on 2 Lubion and 2 cyclogest. I messed up the injection today. Was drawing up Lubion and then air kept filling in the syringe and full liquid wasn’t coming out right so when I tried to inject started leaking out the side. Then called the emergency line. Was freaked out because wasn’t hurting like usual at injection site and felt like nothing had gone in. So I got told to do another one. Now feeling very woozy. Feels like I’ve overdosed or something
