@Charming81 was googling the things to eat and not eat, and Ive taken as an acceptable risk to eat packaged refrigerated ham, and washed raw veggies.

And then the actual symptoms of listeria (basically, food poisoning).
And it says "flu like symptoms". Which I kinda have right now, as I have a cold (stuffy, runny nose).
I think its just the fact that I v«have a bit of a fever and feel a bit sorry for myself.

Calm down, breath. It is just a cold! With listeria you would also have diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. And certainly no only 37.3 fever. Breath! It is just a cold

Obviously, I know that! LOL
I was being lighthearted, but I did spend an awful lot of time googling it and obsessing (kinda like you convince yourself you have brain cancer when you have a weird headache).
These thoughts will pass in no time! Just need this cold to do one!

Ive taken a paracetamol, and am watching Married At First Site Australia, while waiting for it to the paracetamol to do its thing! Already 36.7, so I feel a bit better, but need to get back down to 36 to feel normal!

@ASGIRC hope you are feeling better soon. Get plenty of rest if you can

Bless you @ASGIRC, sorry you're feeling rough and stressing about it. Sadly no NSAIDS in pregnancy, which has sucked for the past week for me.
Hope you feel better soon. It's rotten having a cold.

@Olivia199 OMG my fever is no where near yours!!! I cant imagine how you coped with nearly 40!!! Id be on my actual deathbed, specially without ibuprofen!

But Im also that kind of person that feels dying as soon as temp is 37, if it was above 37.5 Id be calling in sick tomorrow. But its not and I dont think it will rise more than this. Though it will probably stay for a couple of days.

Nose is a bit stuffy, but not a tap and not blocked (yet!) so Im taking that as a win. Only mild tickle in the throat, which wont become a full on sore throat.

Sadly, paracetamol is not very effective for me, so its only just taking the edge off, but I feel better than I have earlier today, so thats something!

Just finishing packing for the weekend, will add some masks to my bag, no need to spread germs around at work tomorrow, or with my friends.

Can I take this as though I’m pregnant? I can’t believe it! I’m in complete shock

@beehappy19 those are all positive tests, yes! Congrats!!!!

Still feeling ropey.. Slept appalingly, obviously. Temp is stable, but elevated, which makes me feel like poo. But I dont think Ill get any worse, so thats something!!

@beehappy19 congratulations! This looks very positive, is this your OTD?

I tested this morning with a CB a 7dpt with a 5 day blastocyst and have a faint positive:) it's a good start so just hope it gets stronger. Only symptom is getting hot in the night.

@Olivia199 how are you feeling?
@ASGIRC oh I hope you can start getting some rest this weekend.
@Lauralozzle how are you holding out in the 2WW?

@10degreessunny tentative congrats!!! Fingers crossed for it getting stronger every couple of days!!! Whens your OTD?

Weekend will start with a 3h drive up north to meet up with my uni friends!! So not exactly a restful weekend, but Im hoping for a nap before dinner once I get there!

And today I came prepared for the FREEZING air con at work, which was making me feel even worse yesterday, as I felt feverish and cold!

Im hoping this is a 3 day thing and I start feeling much better tomorrow!

@10degreessunny yes it’s my test day today. I just can’t believe it!
congrats on getting a faint positive. I also got a faint positive 7dpt so I’ve everything crossed for you

@beehappy19 Congrats!!

@10degreessunny Tentative congrats!

I’m doing ok. I’ll test Monday, this weekend is going to be a nervous one though!

@10degreessunny - I'm doing okay thank you! Looking forward to a chilled day Sunday. How are you getting on?

@ASGIRC - bless you lovely, thinking of you and hope you're feeling better soon.

@10degreessunny - Ooooh, congratulations!!!

@beehappy19 - Huge congratulations to you too!!! What a lovely morning!

@ASGIRC, thank you, I'm hoping the line gets stronger. Oh have fun with your uni friends, will they guess you're pregnant?
@beehappy19 ohh I hope I follow with a strong positive by my test date on the 10th August:)
@Lauralozzle yeah I feel you, if you need a good show, Yellowstone on amazon is pretty addictive!
@Olivia199 glad you're feeling better. Thank you, want to keep up this positivity 🙏 x

@10degreessunny Thanks!! And yeah, I will have exactly ZERO chance of fooling them, cause they know Im doing it, even know I was planning on doing it this summer, and me not drinking will be a dead giveaway!

@loulamay how are you doing? going crazy in SA?

@10degreessunny I got rid of Amazon, which I’m regretting a bit but I have decided to re-watch Peaky Blinders!

thanks for checking @ASGIRC - I'm hanging in there.

I know that you will all understand this, but I had to just step away from the thread for a few days because it seems like you're all getting your BFPs and I'm feeling a bit left behind and (brutal honesty) pretty envious.

The horrible dark side of IVF and infertility is when it's hard to be happy for others. I'm so sorry everyone. Huge congrats to all the positives!! and well wishes to everyone struggling with illnesses! x

@loulamay hopefully youll be getting yours pretty soon! just need to get through the weekend, for your Monday transfer!

And also, youll be reunited with your family next week, which Im sure will also be amazing!

Congratulations to everyone who got a BFP this morning! 🥂

I tested again this morning and the line is progressing nicely which is a relief but I have had the tiniest bit of spotting, which I didn’t have last round. I think it might be due to travelling yesterday (now in Samos) as I missed a progesterone 🤦🏼‍♀️ going to test again tomorrow to keep tabs but my OTD is Wednesday.

@beehappy19 Huge congrats, so nice to see! And @10degreessunny tentative congratulations too!

@loulamay that completely makes sense, do whatever you need to do at the moment to help you cope with it all. I've had so many horrible thoughts/feelings through the whole infertility journey that i then feel awful about- but the feelings are totally understandable X

@Lauralozzle hope you have some nice distractions over the weekend, you have got this!!

I am finally home 🙌 still in lots of discomfort but so glad to be in my own space!

Hey ladies,

This morning I've received my third Beta result, the increase was 83% in 48 hours which has thrown me as all articles states it should double. Its still within the range level but I'm back to panic mode again.

A brutally honest opinion would be very much appreciated :(

@beehappy19 super congratulations! 😍🎉🤞🏻🐞 what dpt are you?

@10degreessunny fingers crossed that line will get darker 🤞🏻

@Lauralozzle good luck for Monday! Yes, this weekend will seem the longest of your life! 🤞🏻🐞🍀
@loulamay the last few days of horrible waiting and you'll have your transfer and will ne able to go back home 🤞🏻🐞

@Walker12 glad you are finally home. I guess it will take a while to feel well. You got this 💪🏻

As of me, I woke up this morning and did a ClearBlue digital that showed 2-3 (it was 1-2 on Monday). Beta tomorrow. I woke up with very negative feelings though. Like "everything is finished" 🙄 and this horrible weather doesn't help
