Hello everyone, I thought I'd start a new thread because we filled the last one and lots of people are still in their TWW or waiting for transfers.

I've tried to tag everyone still active but I'm sure I've missed people. Please tag anyone you think would like to be included 🙂💛

@countrypunk trust me you don't want that nausea I promise to you you don't want it 😖😖😖😖😫😫😫😫

@AnnaPr1992 Oh god Anna that sounds awful. Sorry, I hope my post didn't sound insensitive. I just don't really have any symptoms which is freaking me out! I really really hope the latest medication works for you. Xx

@LR94 Yes, I had really sore boobs up to and after a positive test. They've eased off a bit now, except for last night when they were sodding painful! I know - the wait is absolutely rubbish. I'm thinking all good thoughts for you x

@countrypunk please don't worry about not having symptoms, every women and every pregnancy os so different
Last year my sister in law was pregnant and she had to stay with us for a couple of months till she was about 18w pregnant and she never felt any kind of nausea or sickness or dizziness or anything, she just wanted to sleep and eat 🫣 lucky 🥹

@AnnaPr1992 Thank you, you're very kind and reassuring. I hope you feel better soonest x

@Lucy5yearsttc amazing heartbeats are you having twins? Yea my first scan is Friday coming I will be 6 weeks +1 day my hcg levels were high so hoping they will see something. I have been feeling nausea for a week now but today the first time I vomited. And I feel the term morning sickness isn't always morning 🤣 mine happens afternoon and evenings.

@JuliaIVF83 I do get hungry fast straight after work I be starving. But after vomitting I don't want to eat. It was horrible.

@countrypunk my first ever sickness was horrible 🤢 I hope I'm one of those who doesn't get sickness often but I feel like I will be the oppos🙈 I promise you dony want it.

@Lucy5yearsttc sore boobs are on and off. They come and go. I was out of breath the 4th week not anymore. Feel tired alot I been napping everything afternoon and now the nausea kicked in too.

@Lucy5yearsttc also had severe back pain lower back pain. 4 weeks to 5 weeks. Now it's gone for now x

@AnnaPr1992 oh nooo. Drink plenty of water though and stay hydrated. It's tough but all worth it.
I just want the scan to happen already. Mine is Friday literally counting down the days. I had my first vomitting today it wasn't in the morning more like evening been feeling nausea all day. I can imagine it getting worse. Heard at 9 weeks it peaks high.

@Frosty91 having twins yep! I had sore boobs but they’ve gone down now. It’s weird how symptoms come and go isn’t it. And what’s normal for some might not be normal for others. Hope your sickness gets better. I didn’t have it until last week and that’s twins so I don’t think you can read into symptoms @countrypunk xx

@Lucy5yearsttc amazing that's so cute 😍 did you transfer 2 embryos? Did you do blood work. Was your first blood work results high? did you realise then you maybe having twins x@countrypunk yesss Lucy is right some people don't get any during there pregnancy. Some people get it early and some late. Everyone is different. Don't worry about symptoms too much as I said before my symptoms come and go. They disappear for a few days and come back its all normal i had severe lower back pain for a week and now all gone totally normal x

Thank you @Frosty91 and @Lucy5yearsttc I'm gonna stop stressing and enjoy being symptom free while I still can, just in case it's all in the post!

Has anyone told family and friends yet? I haven't but I met my mum for lunch today and it was so difficult not to blurt it all out. My partner and I have agreed to keep shtum until 10 weeks and tell the prospective grandmas together.

@countrypunk I have told my parents and my mother in law. Also one sister💗 my parents have been really supportive mum has been making me chicken broth soup and making sending me fruit salads live right next door so alot of help.. My manager at work knows and because I have altered my hours I just feel like people are assuming I am which is annoying 🙄 the rest of my family we will be telling after 12 weeks. I think tell when you feel ready x

@Frosty91 thank you so much x I hope yours isn't as bad as mine.
Yeah I have heard that the peak is around week 9 😵‍💫

@countrypunk i think share it with your mom is alright no one will be happier for us more than our own mothers ♥️
My husband and I we haven't shared with anyone as well
Just my mom knows coz she lives with us 😂
We will share it after the scan and after we have confirmed everything is going well x

@Lucy5yearsttc aww your are having twins awww I am dying 🥺🤰🤰 I love twins 🥰🦋 I am praying my embryo has split heheh 🤭

@AnnaPr1992 hoping mine has spilt too🙈🤣😍 but happy with either. Hopefully will find out Friday if there's more than one heartbeat ❤ yes mums are amazing 😊

Morning all, I've made another thread for anyone who's had a BFP: Pregnant after IVF www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/4738993-pregnant-after-ivf

It just struck me it might be difficult for women still going through treatment to see the pregnancy chat.

Hope everyone's having a lovely Saturday morn 🙂

@countrypunk We’ve told our families but no one else yet. I guess everyone is different and do what you feel is best x

@Frosty91 we transferred 2 embryos. My clinic don’t do bloods so we only found out at an early scan x

@Lucy5yearsttc oooo amazing ❤was your first scan at 6 weeks too x

Still feeling nausea today it always starts in the afternoon. Will anyone go for private scans or the 3D ones? Or has anyone done so. Are they worth it x

Hey everyone 😊 5 weeks here and have my ultrasound in around 9 days. I don't really have any symptoms except painful breasts and tiredness which I've had for a while now. I feel like the time is dragging!

@acaciabluebell I was hoping you was okay. Im 5 weeks 2 days and tme is dragging I just want my scan already my scan is on Friday when is yours? Hopefully they will see a heartbeat. I had my first vomitting yesterday I was feeling nausea all day. My back pain has gone. Sore boobs on and off they disappear. Just nausea during afternoon time is creeping in. I hope your scan goes well. I have also been napping in the afternoons x

@Frosty91 mine is on the 20th (next Monday). I also have an appointment with my GP on this coming Tuesday where I think they will confirm pregnancy, not sure what else.

@acaciabluebell amazing I hope your blood tests are good😍 I had two betas. Then they boomed me in for my scan. Time is dragging up until the scan though. Scan on 17th I will be 6 weeks +1 and midwife appointment on 20th. Buy I do feel symptoms come and go are very normal. They start peaking up at 9 weeks x

@acaciabluebell will you be booking any extra private scans after your first scan x

@Frosty91 I had quite a lot of private scans in my last pregnancy, partly cause there was nothing else to do in lockdown 🤣. But also so my partner could come, and it definitely helped my anxiety! So I think totally worth it. Also with ivf we obviously know the exact dates so even though some clinics say wait til 7 weeks, we know that our 6 weeks is actually that! I had my first one at 6 weeks last time x
