Hi all, hope it's OK to join. I've just been through my second cycle of IVF and got a BFP. My first round ended in a chemical. My tests are much darker this time, so I'm cautiously optimistic but I know it's still early days. According to an online calculator I'll be due 17 May. Symptoms so far are a wee bit of cramping and I feel like I'm constantly hungry!

Here's my line progression below. I think I'm going to test until I get a dye stealer, then I'll use the clear blue week indicator from Sunday until I get a 3+ then I'll step away!

Due May 22

Congratulations @itsmschanandlerbong - how are you feeling? We did IVF too and it's hard, isn't it?

itsmschanandlerbong · 08/09/2021 19:22

@SerendipitySunshine I'm feeling a bit anxious but just trying to enjoy this. IVF is just going from one wait to another 😅😅 how are you feeling?

Hope91 · 08/09/2021 20:57

@mrsmop21 I am so sorry to hear your news. Sending so much love your way Flowers

Hope91 · 08/09/2021 21:13

@LetsDoTheTango you are welcome :) thank you :) that’s so exciting to have the scan booked and I bet you are so excited to tell your sister :) yess my symptoms sound exactly like yours which reassures me that hopefully it’s all normal :) bless you I feel for you with the nausea. I am in a similar position bmi wise. Since finding out Sunday I am just trying to go on a walk each day to keep active and eating healthy- however this evening I have been sick for the first time and I don’t think I ever want to see a chicken salad again. Hard isn’t it. Sounds like it was a nice first appointment :)

@Positive21 it all feels a life time away doesn’t it! So exciting about the scan though :)

@maymum94 I am so sorry to hear you are still feeling so sick I really hope it settles soon bless you

@Balajake are those tests first response? I have found they don’t progress very quickly and the clear blue ones do better however I am going to try and kick the habit soon. I think they all look clear positives.

@Celina94 that looks like such a strong positive

@babyboybluex congratulations! Amazing news to move up the digital it’s so reassuring isn’t it. Yess I am a crazy testing lady I can’t help it but do need to stop after 5 weeks if I can :) how exciting for the scan and what a lovely surprise for her :)

@Jojo7979 the tiredness is mad isn’t it! I’m really hoping I sleep this evening :) hope you manage to get some rest too!

@itsmschanandlerbong congratulations. So sorry to hear about your chemical. Really glad that these are darker. They look some really strong positives :) keeping everything crossed for you :)

Morning all :)

starting to get used to early hours of the morning now. How’s everyone doing? :) 4+5 today and woken up with a sore throat, sore nipples and feeling relatively nauseous still after being sick last night.

I keep getting excitement about telling family and then I’m like calm down it’s so early. It’s hard not to be excited but the days are very slow :) I’m feeling cautiously optimistic and trying to stay positive and hope for the best :)

Hope everyone has a lovely day :) xxx

Luawei · 09/09/2021 08:11

@Hope91 morning! I have also been awake since 4am!!!😴
I bought some of the "how many weeks pregnant" tests yesterday as thanks to this forum, I now understand that they show you how many weeks since conceiving, rather than the day of your 1st period. Mine is showing 2-3 weeks pregnant this morning which i was expecting 🙂 I'll save my last one for next week.
Hope everybody is ok today x

Hope91 · 09/09/2021 08:29

@Luawei it’s mad isn’t it! Im ready to sleep until 7 again :) that’s amazing that’s where mine is at :) hoping for 3+ next week :) have added another symptom of feeling hot all the time and I keep sweating. Not sure if it’s normal but it’s so grim lol x

Positive21 · 09/09/2021 08:40

Good morning ☺️

My main thing is thirst! I drunk about 3.5 litres yesterday and my wee was still slightly yellow which is unusual for me. When the midwife calls I'll mention it to her. I normally drink 2l but yesterday was a bit of a joke. Needing the loo every hour!

Also quite tired too, feeling lazy so making myself continue walking and working out. I know it's safe but I've reduced my weights when I weight train. Feeling a bit protective I think. Yesterday my OH asked me how baby was doing which was adorable. Still super early but my goodness that made me melt 🥺🥰

I am so, so excited to tell family, I'm amazed I've not said anything so far. I tell my family EVERYTHING, like my dad is my best friend!

SerendipitySunshine · 09/09/2021 09:23

@itsmschanandlerbong it really is one wait after another! So nerve-wracking. I am counting down the days until the 7-week scan, which will hopefully bring some reassurance. Starting to feel a bit sick now, which I'm hoping is a good sign. How about you?

maymum94 · 09/09/2021 10:09

@mrsmop21 I'm so sorry only just seen your message sending you so much love right now

Hope everyone is doing okay.

I'm with you ladies on nerves and excitement. I have my scan is 4 days so I'm so keen for that but also so nervous. You would think 2nd time around would be easier but I feel like it's the same almost.

Hope everyone is doing well.
My sickness is still awful.

The only thing fixing my nausea is buttered toast. How many slices a day is reasonable?

EmilyMay89 · 09/09/2021 10:23

Oh my days the bloat is real!!! I feel huge and uncomfortable, have a work meal tonight and I have got no appetite at all. Only positive is that I have claimed I'm doing sober September so at least that gets me out of drinking!

ninadust · 09/09/2021 11:04

@Positive21 I thought it was just me feeling the thirst. This is probably my main symptom. No matter how much I drink I'm just sooooo thirsty

mamatofourx · 09/09/2021 11:16

@Luawei

Hi all, I've just found out that I'm 4 weeks pregnant - due 17th May! My main symptom so far is cramping which I had no idea was a symptom of pregnancy and has caused me some frantic googling sessions!! Can't wait to share my journey with everybody x
I'm due the 17th may too x
talkingtoclarry · 09/09/2021 11:24

I typed out a whole post last night and it’s disappeared so going to introduce myself again!

I got my BFP yesterday. Very unexpected as I was due on around 26th August and had Snow White BFNs until about 1st Sept when I stopped bothering to test, accepted it wasn’t my month and began impatiently waiting for AF to finally show up. Assumed my cycle was still a bit erratic as I only had the mirena out in June.
Have had ridiculously itchy nipples for the last two days so on a whim I used a cheapie last night, expecting another BFN and was amazed to see those two lines! Sent DP out for a CB digi and it’s come up as 3+ weeks. Really rather bloody excited! Think my guesstimated due date is 13 May 22 but I can see that shifting as I’ve no idea when I ovulated and I got my BFP on CD41.

It’s #2 for me, already have DS6. First for DP.

Positive21 · 09/09/2021 13:05

@ninadust glad it's not just me!

My back and tummy are feeling achy again today, but I kinda like having some kind of symptom 😅 still waiting for a call back from the midwife after them calling at 2pm Tuesday and saying they would call back 🤦🏼‍♀️

itsmschanandlerbong · 09/09/2021 13:24

@Luawei I'm feeling the exact same - was up at 5.30 this morning!

@SerendipitySunshine no symptoms yet really, apart from sore boobs. My clinic will scan me around the 8 week mark, just waiting on the letter coming through, such an anxious wait. Each wait seems harder than the previous 😅😅

itsmschanandlerbong · 09/09/2021 13:26

@maymum94 best of luck for your scan!

@Luawei @mamatofourx I'm 17 May too 😊

ninadust · 09/09/2021 13:30

Oh no that's so annoying!! Hopefully they call back today!! @Positive21

Just received my 12 week scan through the post for 19th October. Wooo!!!

summertimes2021 · 09/09/2021 14:25

Was feeling panicky due to lack of symptoms. I brought my scan forward by a week to next Sunday 18th.

babyboybluex · 09/09/2021 14:31

@Hope91 I love how you address everyone and take the time to reply us all - what a lovely person you are! Flowers I hope you're keeping well x

MillyMcg · 09/09/2021 14:41

Hi all! Can I please join the group! I’m currently 5+1 weeks! Estimated due date is May 12th. Huge congrats to you all!! @Positive21 the thing about the yellow pee, I have exactly the same thing despite drinking so much water- I’m currently taking the pregnacare vitamins and apparently the B vitamins in them can make your pee very yellow- so it could be that! How are everyone’s symptoms? My sore boobs seem to come and go, does anyone else have similar?
