16DP5DT Worried 😟 *Long Read - Sorry*

[Ivfnewbie1]

hi all!
not sure what I’m looking for here, maybe just to talk out loud to people who get it! IVF is such a journey but in my circle nobody has ever been through so whilst they sympathise and can easily tell me not to worry it’ll be fine because their natural pregnancies were a breeze…its not that easy for us IVF warriors!

anyway, I am 16DP5DT, I had my BFP on D13 🙌🏻 it was on a Superdrug 6 day early so was hoping for a dye stealer but it wasn’t so. I googled the shit out of these tests
and found no dye stealers posted by anyone using these (image attached) on previous cycle I used the FRER and this was a dye stealer. That pregnancy ended at 23+5 with my son, we were devastated that we got that far but we were so lucky to get to meet him for that whole hour 💙 which now
makes this pregnancy so hard to get excited about, I feel so disconnected from it!
at 14DP5DT I had ridiculous period type
cramps front and back! Boobs sore only
when taking off my bra! Some shooting pains here and there in uterus, groin area and achy hips (im hoping this is stretching but is it too early?) 15DP5DT we went to kids play park with my nieces, a lot of walking uphill! When I got home I had brown jelly discharge when wiping, more through the night or this morning. Today also no symptoms whatsoever ever! Im worried that along with the awful cramps D14 and the brown jelly D15 and now no symptoms today that the pregnancy has failed 😢 clinic scan is 2 weeks today which is going to be a long hard wait!
Symtoms I’ve had:
AF cramps - were constant!
Pinching sensations - were daily
little nausea when hungry - not often
full cold for the whole of the 2WW
some tender boobs but not much
ringing in one ear like I’ve got water in it - started yesterday
aches/cramps at top of legs - were daily

Would love to hear what you guys think!

I'm sorry about your previous loss. It's completely understandable that you are worried at every twist and turns. But I wouldn't read too much into any symptoms or their lack there of. Your test line looks good, don't worry about it not being dye stealing, it's how it's progressing (on the same branded test) that's important.

Does your clinic do blood tests? It's the best way to confirm and monitor, but obviously pricey. You could also try clear blue digital to see if the weeks prediction matches. I really hope it turns out well for you. 🍀

Thank you for the reply. I’ve bought another Superdrug test to use today. I've read the CB ones aren’t always accurate. The clinic don’t do the blood test but there is one that I can use nearby. I promised myself I wouldn’t symptom watch or compare to my last pregnancy but it’s so hard not to! I think I’ve cried for most of the morning today, you forget how emotionally hard this is
