@LKSF They looked at my notes and said there was a shadow behind the sac last time and now it's gone and there was no other signs of bleeds.

I'm sooooo relieved x

@PMAmostofthetime ah thats great!! Atleast you have a scan next week to reassure you and then it won’t be long for the 12weeks one 🥰

Hopefortansy85 · 22/08/2022 18:26

So glad to hear everything is ok with everyone. @PMAmostofthetime so glad your scare turned out ok.

Went AWOL again, run my own business and it’s been manic and the oestrogen makes me Sooooo sleepy, scan today for lining all went well, the nurse told me I had some lovely womb layers this time😂.Never had my womb complimented before, 8mm so all set to go, not on progesterone until Friday which is nice as I hate the pessaries. So implant day is 31st 🤞🏻 It survives defrost and is a good one. 🤞🏻

LKSF · 22/08/2022 19:28

@Hopefortansy85 oh wow, that’s came round quick 😍 and great about the womb lining!! Good luck and keep us updated x

Hopefortansy85 · 22/08/2022 19:37

@LKSF I think it’s good, they have never said anything about the womb lining layers before but I could clearly see them which I haven’t really seen before. Maybe it’s because I’ve been taking aspirin, I’m glad I get a bit longer this time, last time I had the scan Monday and implant 5 days later so it’s nice to have a bit longer for my body to get ready. I’m going to try go for a massage but Everywhere seems booked up at the moment near me!

Dobcaty · 22/08/2022 21:49

So lovely to hear all the good news today! I was checking in and started a few times to post but got distracted haha 😅 we are now taking Christmas bookings, this year going to be craaazyyy!!!

@Hopefortansy85 wow, 31st?! Incredible how quickly came along!

@PMAmostofthetime so glad to hear everything is fine! What did you say when is your 12weeks scan?

@LKSF is this Thursday when you gonna know if 1 or 2?

I started my nasal spray yesterday and to be honest, I rather to do Buserelin injections as I would know I have the proper amount of medication in my body...my nose get runny after use, hoping it won't affect the outcome, however I'm glad that I won't have any bruises this time ☺️
Also we received the call from the developer, our moving window moved to September, the same month as our FET! Really hoping it won't be some crossovers haha

Sorry if I will be AWOL please keep us updated!! Xx

Hopefortansy85 · 22/08/2022 22:07

@Dobcaty yes it has come quickly, but waiting another 9 days when the last wait for one was 5 seems like torture 😂 but what do they say, good things come to those…
so hopefully it will make me super homely for the next embryo.
I’ve never heard of nasal spray, wow they sure want us to put medication in every orifice in this process!

PMAmostofthetime · 23/08/2022 00:15

@Dobcaty Thank you, I have my first scan with the clinic on Tuesday 30th then I'll be transferred to my GP to book in. I think my 12 week scan will probably be late as on the 30th I will be 8+6.

But it's due W/C 21st September.

@Dobcaty oooo I would have loved a nasal spray but I totally get your anxiety.

@Hopefortansy85 Thank you.
all sounds good for you too :) fingers crossed 🤞🏼 this is the one.
It's all waiting until they are in our arms.

@Dobcaty Yes on Thursday 😊
Ah I did the nasal spray on my first round, I wasn’t a fan either!

Coops0406 · 23/08/2022 07:29

@PMAmostofthetime that's amazing news, must be such a relief! And a little heartbeat ❤️

@Hopefortansy85 wow, that's come around so fast! You must be pleased! And a beautiful womb! So transfer 31st and then how many days after is OTD for you? So excited you have managed to get straight back on it!

@Dobcaty looks like a busy September! At least you will be occupied but try to get as much chill time as you can.

@LKSF only a couple of days now for your scan! How far along will you be?

We are doing well. Although I still have an obsession with testing every few days! When did any of you stop testing? I have 2 more weeks until my scan and I know I'm super paranoid!

We had my 40th party on Saturday and I ended up doing a speech and blurted it out! The whole place was in tears and just so happy for you us...I figured we could use the love and prayers to push this one all the way and we decided that telling people for us will not change the outcome, but would let us be able to celebrate the positives and little wins we get in our fertility journey, as well as not having the pressure of having to keep a secret!

PMAmostofthetime · 23/08/2022 13:25

@Coops0406 Thanks- I stopped testing every few days and only tested once a week on a Wednesday- as that was my EC day so tomorrow I'll be 8 weeks- which seems insane but has also dragged at the same time.
I also frantically tested after both bleeds. I think I could have bought the babies cot with the amount I've spent on tests 🙈.

LKSF · 23/08/2022 15:14

@Coops0406 I’ll be 7w6d so pretty much 8weeks….hopefully they can see things much clearer as I was only 6w4d at the last scan.
I only tested on my otd and the day after. And then I think once more a few days after that.

@PMAmostofthetime could have bought the babies cot on the amount you’ve spent on tests…..that made me chuckle 😂

PMAmostofthetime · 23/08/2022 15:35

@LKSF I'm not even joking I spent £90 in one day 😂🙈 as I tested early and I had no tests left ( it was one from last round) I did a frantic Prime order and then the next day because I couldn't wait for the prime order I stashed a cup of first morning wee in my wardrobe and drove out of my area to a boots and bought more 😂🙈.
Then decided after 4 days that's I needed digital clear blue and not first response to I could see the word pregnant 😂🙈. And did the same again expect these are more costly.
We then went away ( uk break) and I forgot to take any so I bought more 😂🙈.

OH has now banned me from buying any more- but I still have a little stash left.

@LKSF @Coops0406 Any symptoms yet? I've had sore boobs on and off since EC due to the pessaries I think?

But yesterday the Nausea and headaches hit me and I realised the nausea I had before was nothing 🤢. Tiredness is also unreal

I'm also extremely bloated and my jeans already don't fit! I'm only 7+6 🙈.

I'm blaming the pessaries because well I can't begin to fathom how something the size of a 🫐 Blueberry ( will be a kidney Bean tomorrow) can cause my jeans not to fit- not even just tight literally no where near doing up 🙈.

OP posts:
LKSF · 23/08/2022 16:06

@PMAmostofthetime omg £90 😱😂 that is very good going…good job I’ve not been a serial tester, there wouldn’t of been any left 😂

So I’ve been really bloated, Which I though was from the pessaries, until I went for my scan last week and she said about my ovaries being really bulky still, my bloating has calmed down a lot now though son hoping that’s because my ovaries have gone back to normal! Other than that I don’t have major symptoms, sometimes I think I feel a little bit sick and then I’m like no I’m fine it’s in my head?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ my boobs feel a bit bruised at the sides when I press them.
haha even though it’s only the size of a blueberry though your uterus has expanded too so it could be that! X

Coops0406 · 23/08/2022 17:24

@PMAmostofthetime I have quite a few left but today there was only the test line and ever so faint control line, barely visible! So I think I should stop now!

@LKSF are you having a second scan because they saw 2 sacs? I think I'll be 7w4d by the time I have my first scan

The main noticeable thing for me is tiredness, but aside from that it's just symptoms from the progesterone so major bloating and tender boobs (I had 2 days where they were really sore but mostly just quite tender). Most evenings I look a good 6 months pregnant from bloating! But no sickness or anything.

LKSF · 23/08/2022 17:37

@Coops0406 yeah they saw two sacs but only 1 with a fetus but they just have to double check. They were pretty sure it was empty but I guess they have to cover themselves 🤷🏻‍♀️

PMAmostofthetime · 23/08/2022 17:42

@Coops0406 That's what mine are like now- so I switched to digital 😂🙈. I've not tested this week though and don't feel the urge too so I think I'm over the testing. I think I'll be a scan addict next 🙈

LKSF · 23/08/2022 19:36

@PMAmostofthetime i’ll be with you on being a scan addict…I think I’ll be getting one every 2weeks 🙈

LKSF · 26/08/2022 08:50

Just to update you all I had my scan yesterday and it’s definitely not twins, sadly the other one didn’t develop 💔 but just gotta focus on our 1 little miracle x

PMAmostofthetime · 26/08/2022 11:15

@LKSF sorry that the one didn't make it- but pleased that you have one little Baba fighting string in there x

OP posts:
Coops0406 · 27/08/2022 07:26

@LKSF sorry to hear that, but like you say, you have one miracle to concentrate on ❤️ did you get to see a heartbeat in this scan? I'm desperate to get to my scan! A week on Wednesday which seems forever away! I think I am 6 weeks today!

@PMAmostofthetime how are you doing?

LKSF · 27/08/2022 07:31

@Coops0406 Exactly 🥰 Yes it looked like a kidney bean and you could see the heart flickering away ❤️ It’ll come round quick….keep yourself busy!!!

Coops0406 · 27/08/2022 07:35

@LKSF amazing!! Must have been the most amazing thing to see!! 🥰

PMAmostofthetime · 27/08/2022 07:46

@Coops0406 I'm good thanks-how are you feeling?

Use this to check your Dude date-
I also like seeing which fruit the baby is and reading all about their development:)

flo.health/tools/ivf-due-date-calculator

2 more days until my official scan- did the clinic give you a picture @LKSF? My other 2 where emergencies so no picture.
I'll be 8+6 Tuesday and hopefully if all is ok, I can be referred to maternity services which is exciting feels like a milestone.

Have you told anyone yet?
Me and OH are still tight lipped- it's exciting but getting harder.
