IVF babies due 2026?

[1989Frog]

Hi - I couldn’t find a thread but just wondered if anyone else was expecting in 2026 post ivf? I’m due end of Feb so just wanting any similar ladies to chat with!

Is anybody else getting weird twinges in their uterus (or for those of you further along did you have this around 6weeks?). I am feeling things, not pains as such but definitely some sort of twinge or sensation. Im hoping this is normal.

@lemons44I've had this and still have this. I think once it’s not a sharp pain it is normal as your uterus is growing x

Also ChatGPT told me it was normal ☺️

Thanks @confused2025

Is anyone else experienced mild, non-smelling yellow discharge?

@PlanBFertilityi spoke to the midwife about this on Friday. When I wipe there is some yellow on loo roll. She said it is very normal for this to happen when on progesterone.

@PlanBFertilityyes I am having a yellow-ish discharge too. I found a colour chart and thought mine probably falls more in ‘cream’ colour but it still is a bit yellowy! I didn’t know if it was from my pessaries

@PlanBFertilitymine is similar to the colour of the smallest little pizza slice shape in the white section of this pic

Perfect, thank you very much ❤️

@PlanBFertility yes I've been having similar! I had brown spotting for ages so any sort of discharge has been worrying me, good to hear your midwife explained it @confused2025, I am on a lot of progesterone as well!

Those of you on progesterone, when will you come off it? My Dr told me 14 weeks which feels a long time, I'm so sick of the injections! Don't mind the pessaries, just want less needles (I'm 11+2 now)

@Orangewillowmy clinic said I could opt to not take it at 8 weeks with no bleed but continuing. They have me scheduled up to week 12 but my midwife said that I will discuss this with my consultant on next appointment to make sure I def don’t need it x

@PlanBFertility i have yellow from time to time too (and with my now toddlera pregnancy)

@Orangewillow i had a bit of brown cm around 4.5 weeks nothing since and hopefully nothing more

Hows everyone doing?

@Timetotryagain im just living in a constant state of fear that something is going to go wrong. I thought the 5 day wait after collection was bad, then TWW. But no. This is worse! 6 weeks tomorrow (hopefully). Ordered an online HCG blood test, lab received sample so hoping results give some comfort.

how are you?

@PlanBFertilityhow does the online HCG blood test work? Are u sure it is accurate? Wouldn’t want it to be inaccurate and send you into a panic!!

I am the same re: the fear and worry. I have my viability scan on Friday afternoon when I will be 6+4 and I’m just trying to keep busy until then.

My results have come back as 9644 which has reassured me somewhat. My last set of bloods last week were 1700 so nice to see progression.

I think I’m just going to have to be brave and wait it out until scan next week eeeek!

@PlanBFertility that is a really good result. I’m so happy for you x @lemons44will be thinking of you on Friday and hopefully for good news. I remember being so afraid to even look at the screen x

I am so nervous, got my first NHS scan tomorrow, and NIPT test. I've had 3 scans already and everything was just fine but can't shake the feeling something has happened in the last couple of weeks, or the NIPT is going to come back with a problem again (TFMR in 2023). All just very triggering and scary!

@Orangewillow best of luck for tomorrow. Seems this anxious feeling never leaves us!

@Orangewillow sending you 🍀 for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you x

I am 6+4 and the last few days i havent been retching as much as i was previously and i am like ahh are my symptoms going. But my boobs have gotten sorer and still have the nausea low level just less gagging

@PlanBFertility ooh thats good!!

@Orangewillow good luck for tomorrow 💙

@OrangewillowSending you all the luck in the world for your appointment today. I’m not far behind you, I have my first nhs scan the week after next. I don’t think the worry ever goes no matter how many scans you have, I’ve only had 1 and I’m trying my best not to book a private scan every week but it’s hard.

Thinking of you today @Orangewillowit is no wonder you feel so anxious. How long do the test results take to come back?

Thank you! I actually have no idea, I just asked for it as I'd been told I was eligible for one but am pretty hazy on the details

Hope everything went ok today @Orangewillow

i have my viability scan tomorrow at 6+4. Does anybody know if I am supposed to have a full or empty bladder?

@lemons44 do you know what type of scan it is? If it’s internal, then no but if they scan your stomach then yes, you’ll need a full bladder. Good luck for tomorrow. @Orangewillowhope everything was ok today x
