@StaceyWS88 two more sleeps x

I was naughty and tested last night and again this morning. Last night was a super dark one and this morning looks a tiny bit lighter I think but it’s hard to tell. I wish I hadn’t as I’m now worried about a chemical. Ahhhhhh why is this so hard!!!!

Ah thank you, I’ll tentatively take the congrats!! If nothing else, this will be the most successful we’ve been so I guess there’s something positive to take either way….

@Frisbeee @BiscuitLover3678 and @StaceyWS88 nearly there! how are you all doing?

@Ziv am really sorry to hear about your test being negative but wait for the bloods as well. Its an emotional rollecoaster that somehow does get slightly easier each round you do. This was my 4th and whilst there were elements following the transfer which I found extremely stressful but luckily this group really held me together but other bits where good because we learn each cycle what works and what doesn't and we persevere. Most people don't take until at least round 3 according to statistics so don't give up and be positive :)

Frisbeee · 10/05/2023 11:49

@Vallef good to hear from you, how are you?

Ive still got until Monday till OTD but have had a positive on a FRER, now panicking about a chemical! There is never a chance to relax and switch your mind off during this process!

No definitely take it, I’m sure you’re absolutely fine!!! Please ignore me and my constant stress haha.

I just want to be a normal person who tests and goes woo I’m pregnant! And not well let’s see what happens 🤞🏻😂

It’s exhausting isn’t it 😂 if I go through this again I swear to Jesus I’m not testing, I can’t do this every time, I’m tired 😂

Vallef · 10/05/2023 13:40

@Frisbeee and @StaceyWS88 your msgs are giving me giggles which is great :) am ok abit cramps past 2 hours which is again stressing me out although I know they sre perfectly normal. I have to say I 2nd that wish we could be normal and get pregnant and be excited this is just anxiety and stress the whole way through! But hats of to you both for managing to test so often each cycle I had to be basicly shoved in the loo to test because ignorance is a bliss for me and I never wanted to test I'd rather pretend all was well with hope lol

BiscuitLover3678 · 10/05/2023 13:53

Still testing! Today is 14 days post the trigger injection. Ill be so annoyed if I just have heaps of hcg from the trigger 🙈

Thanks, I really don’t know. But I’m actually glad I’m testing as even if it’s not happening I like not seeing a blank for once 😂😂 I’ve had so many blanks! I know I’m not alone.

Why are the days so slow?

Frisbeee · 10/05/2023 14:00

@BiscuitLover3678 oooh that’s looks like a good strong line so keeping everything crossed for you!! Hopefully if you do have any of the trigger left it would be such a small amount so it wouldn’t give a line that dark.

@Vallef glad you’re doing ok but it must be so hard not to worry. Have you had a scan?

Frisbeee · 10/05/2023 14:02

@Vallef glad we are making you smile! I think we have to do everything possible to get through this and this thread is definitely helping me :)

Currently having a lie down feel so tired but am also meant to be working😅just been so cramps today and it's making anxious and pissed off at the same time lol scanned yesterday and all seemed gd so cross fingers next one is in a couple of weeks again.

StaceyWS88 · 11/05/2023 06:23

Hi ladies looking for some time sensitive advice! I’ve got some FMU from 6am and I’m going to the pharmacy to try and get a FRER at 7am, they’re a nightmare to get in the shops and not sure what time my Amazon ones will get here! Question is, should I use my FMU from 6am, it’ll be about 7:30 by the time I get back, or use SMU? Cheapie hasn’t shown any progression so I’m panicking in case it’s a chemical again.

CR7 · 11/05/2023 07:52

@StaceyWS88 I weed in a pot about 5am when I couldn't hold it any longer but knew I wasn't testing til later. Do that xx

StaceyWS88 · 11/05/2023 07:54

So I used my saved first one and my second one just so there was no room for me to be like ah maybe it’s because it’s the second or maybe it’s because the first has been left for a while. They both look about the same anyway. I’m not really seeing any progression and really feel like it could be another chemical. I know the previous ones have been left to sit ages so will be a bit darker but I just feel like I should be seeing progression by now 🥺

@StaceyWS88 I'm sure that they just say that the important thing is that there's a line! Xx

StaceyWS88 · 11/05/2023 08:01

@CR7 i suppose between 8 and 10 there is a difference…

CR7 · 11/05/2023 08:02
