As I was replying I realised the thread has reached the limit.
I thought I'd create a new thread for us all to keep in touch.

I have had lots of twinges @Millie89xx but not cramping. Just trying to keep distracted. OTD is one week today!

Millie89xx · 18/11/2023 09:08

Morning …

I think at this point we’re all feeling different aren’t we

@Hopingforno2in2023 I am having a nice relaxing day .

Millie89xx · 18/11/2023 18:21

How’s everyone feeling today ?

@Kitt86 you holding on in there ok?

@Melisss how you doing ?

@Hopingforno2in2023 day 5 for us today let’s hope the next 5 fly too ❤️🤞

Hopingforno2in2023 · 18/11/2023 18:33

Fingers crossed @Millie89xx!

Kitt86 · 18/11/2023 20:09

@Millie89xx I'm ok thanks. Still desperate to test. I just genuinely don't know what it's going to say and I'm finding it terrifying now. Had things that could be classed as symptoms but sometimes you just doubt yourself and are not sure if these things are really happening and so many people have absolutely none, so who knows.
How are you getting on xx

Melisss · 18/11/2023 22:41

@Millie89xx Been very tired today and moody. Had to come with my partner to one of his work events as well so can't wait to go home 😅
I don't know...I am feeling anxious every day now, last night I woke up at 4 and had a hard time to fall back asleep.

How are you feeling?

Millie89xx · 19/11/2023 06:06

@Kitt86 ahhh I know it’s so hard isn’t it .. when are you going to test ??
I’ve had slight cramps / twinges but they come and go really like you say you don’t know if there good or bad signs .. same I’m getting nervous for testing because I don’t wanna be heartbroken if it’s not. What we want to see 😭

@Melisss pretty much same as you .. it’s a tough process this isn’t it ! When are you going to test Friday ?

Hopingforno2in2023 · 19/11/2023 07:07

Is anyone else having insane dreams? Every night is utterly bonkers.

Millie89xx · 19/11/2023 07:23

@Hopingforno2in2023 no ?? Ha ha Itl be all these hormones doing it to you … have you had a change in CM yet ? I know that’s a symptom but I haven’t had anything

User491 · 19/11/2023 08:36

@Hopingforno2in2023 yes me! I don't think I've ever had such weird dreams in my life 😂

@Millie89xx @Kitt86 I was exactly the same. I was shaking after I done the test, I set a timer and had to really force myself to look, my husband was like hurry up!! 😂😂

Millie89xx · 19/11/2023 08:47

@User491 what symptoms did you get ? Was it more in the second week I think I’ve pretty much googled everything possible

User491 · 19/11/2023 09:02

@Millie89xx try not to stress yourself out with it all, far easier said that done, and I'm a fine one to talk 🙈😂 everyone will be different.

I had twinges etc from the transfer, then I think from day 5 I had a feeling in my stomach that I had done a workout, like I had done loads of sit ups, then little bit of spotting on 6dp, then other than that the sore boobs, bloating, high temp and the dreams. The issue is progesterone can cause so many symptoms too. My first positive in January I had the same stomach feeling, defo didn't get any spotting/dreams as vivid . I suppose it varies from person to person.
I went off my food a bit both times, and the only thing I really fancy is cereal 😂 I think that could be caused by anxiety to a degree tho 🙈

I really have everything crossed for you all 🤞🏻 the wait is hard, but hang on in there ☺️

Hopingforno2in2023 · 19/11/2023 09:16

I am not taking any symptoms seriously as they could just be the progesterone. 6 days to go.

Millie89xx · 19/11/2023 17:24

Ohhhh I have had a terrible day today girls ! So so bloated and achey on one side 😭 doesn’t sound too good ☹️ anyone else had this on day 6dp5dt feeling pretty poo today

Hopingforno2in2023 · 19/11/2023 17:53

Try not to worry @Millie89xx, those could both be caused by the pessaries.

Melisss · 19/11/2023 18:08

@Millie89xx i had a day or 2 where i felt bloated and heavy. the lower back pain also comes and goes. every day is a surprise.
try and keep occupied as much as you can 😉

Millie89xx · 19/11/2023 18:20

@Hopingforno2in2023 do you think ? It’s like a sharp/windy pain when I turn on my side or take a deep breathe in but am soooo bloated so that’s not helping worst I’ve felt through this all .. praying tomorrow a better day

Millie89xx · 19/11/2023 20:23

@Melisss im going round the bend today ! Keep thinking the worst … had no lower back pain but just all cramps twinges and the bloating is horrendous 😭 can only think these are bad signs 😭

Melisss · 19/11/2023 21:11

@Millie89xx just take it day by day. Some days are bad and some days are better. But it sucks when you don't feel comfortable, I get that 😞 And your mind is messing with you by thinking the worst.
Hope you feel better tomorrow 🙂

Not long to go now. I just want to know the answer whatever that is cause I can't be in this state for much longer.

Kitt86 · 20/11/2023 07:32

Hello everyone.
Didn't realise how hard sharing this is, as I truly understand the pain some us in this group maybe in. But as was said before, I am hoping it instills some hope.
Just thought I would share that I got a bfp yesterday. 8dp5dt. Woke up and didn't feel pregnant and got a bit teary. My boyfriend said to wee in a cup and we can grab a test later in the day if we want to. Couldn't get any FRER which pissed me off as those are what I'm used to. Got a clearblue Digi and a clear blue early detection. It was a pretty decent line. So I'm happy but cautiously so as I have got pregnant on both my previous rounds. Going to book some blood tests with GP to ease my mind. Happy Monday gang. I hope things are progressing well for all of you. Xx

User491 · 20/11/2023 08:12

@Kitt86 hope you had a lovely weekend, and that is wonderful news congratulations 🥰

I fully understand where you are coming from. However, without the positives, everyone would lose hope..
Really hope this is the one for you 🥰

Thinking of everyone else in the 2ww, final stretch for you now!

Hopingforno2in2023 · 20/11/2023 08:33

Congratulations @Kitt86! I hope all goes smoothly for you.

Weirdly I have woken today at 7dp5dt feeling very unpregnant and tearful so fingers crossed that is a good sign 😂

Rosesinbloom19 · 20/11/2023 08:38

Omg congratulations @Kitt86 ! 🥰Thats really wonderful news! Enjoy your moment albeit I understand you will be treading carefully! I’ll keep everything crossed for a successful pregnancy for you! 🤞🏻

my OTD is tomorrow and I’m pretty sure its not worked….something changed over the weekend and I just felt different, hard to explain. And I’ve had AF like cramps in my stomach and back all last night to the point I had to get up and take paracetamol, still the same this morning too. This TWW is brutal, I’ve been so upset all weekend coz my head is now gone. Sending love to all who are going through it ❤️ xx

Millie89xx · 20/11/2023 08:49

@Kitt86 congratulations!!!! So happy for you ..

im not in the best of minds this weekend/ today been feeling so shitty bloated pains in stomach and woke up today which feels like the worst hangover in the world but obvs it’s not ☹️ nausea and feeling hot !

Melisss · 20/11/2023 09:06

Congratulations @Kitt86!🎉 Wonderful news! Hope everything goes well for you this time around 🤞
