@Surreymumma congrats mama ✨ how do you feel?

Surreymumma · 11/11/2022 08:27

Hi, thank you! I feel fine at the moment, quite symptom less at the moment. Perhaps just a bit more tired than normal. Hope you are all doing ok x

Chaoscontrol · 11/11/2022 08:48

I did my one week since finding out test today and line is certainly still there. I am still pregnant. I cannot compare lines anymore, it's making me anxious and everyone's levels are different. I might not get super dark till next week and that's okay, but the line is there still and not getting lighter with fmu. That's it now until next week, I'm driving myself crazy otherwise and using all my energy in convincing myself it isn't real.

I have been taken this morning by sickness and cannot shake it. I can't stop gagging, I've even gone back to bed I need sleep.

Thank u for everyone's support, its nice to be able to share anxieties and not feel silly for it✨
Hope everyone feels okay today and ready for the weekend xx

Testing a bit less definetly helped me with anxiety.

When you do test in a week do keep in mind the so-called 'Hook-Effect'.

Personally I am not testing anymore and waiting for my first ultrasound.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Been to the toilet this morning and upon wiping I've had yellow/pink tinged CM. Currently on hold to the doctor's in tears, I just knew things wouldn't work out.

Olegia · 11/11/2022 09:17

@Rutennotou I'm so sorry to hear that, my heart goes to you ...

@polkadotdasies88 I wouldn't get ahead of myself, I just looked it up, according to the American Pregnancy Association: 'Light bleeding, or spotting, during pregnancy is common, especially during the first trimester. It is considered spotting when you notice a few drops of blood occasionally in your underwear, or if you wipe yourself with tissue and see a little blood on the paper. There should not be enough blood to fill a panty liner.'

Coffeeforlife · 11/11/2022 09:52

@polkadotdasies88 I know it's easy to say but try not to jump to conclusions. Pinkish discharge is often to do with the cervix, it's when it's red and in larger quantity that can be a danger sign, and not always then x

polkadotdasies88 · 11/11/2022 11:20

@Olegia @Coffeeforlife Thank you ❤️
I've got an early scan booked at my hospital for Monday morning & been told if it gets any worse to go to their emergency department.

Trying to calm myself down now and just accept what will be will be.

MamaSJ15 · 11/11/2022 12:16

@starbright92 welcome! Congratulations 😊 do you have a son or a daughter already?
@Surreymumma congratulations!
@Chaoscontrol I totally get you, I'm planning on doing my last FRER this evening (I seem to get better lines in the evenings) and I've been doing cheapies but I ran out of them last night. Theyve been progressing so feel good about that. I've got one more CB Digi which I'm holding out for a few more days before doing. The last one said 1-2 weeks so as long as it says more than that I'll be happy! Gonna wait till Sunday maybe Monday to do that, i'll be 5 weeks Monday. Then I'm gonna stop testing!

MamaSJ15 · 11/11/2022 12:20

@polkadotdasies88 I hope everything is okay. Itust be scary for you but as others have said, it's not always bad news. 🤞 Fingers crossed for you!!

I've booked a private early scan for 4th December, will be 7+6 then. They won't let me have one at epu even though they told me last time I could because of the early losses I've had.

My cheap easy at home have been progressing at least which I am happy about. They are totally different to a week ago which is nice to see. But I'm gonna stop now until next week I think. I am also 5 weeks Monday too 🤞🏻😊
The cd digis I have heard such mixed reviews so don't be sad if it doesn't change! 😊

MamaSJ15 · 11/11/2022 13:19

@Chaoscontrol that's good! I've heard a lot of different reviews too. Have you done one of the digis?

Primrose09 · 11/11/2022 14:33

Hi everyone,

checking back in after my scan Wednesday which sadly didn’t go very well (PUL), had HCG measured Wednesday as 285 and just walking home from the hospital now for my 48 hour later test - should get the results this afternoon. Not feeling very optimistic about this.

hope everyone’s okay and got some nice weekend plans x

Coffeeforlife · 11/11/2022 15:55

@Primrose09 I hope it's good news for you this afternoon x

Chaoscontrol · 11/11/2022 15:56

@MamaSJ15

I did a digi last Saturday so about a week ago and got 1-2, too scared to do another haha.
Good luck though, I just didn't want you to worry if it hadn't changed. ✨

Ive had an honest Google about hgc and test lines and come to the conclusion tests cannot be accurate enough to see line progression and I don't need to stress myself over it. A positive is a positive and I need to remember that. A test is a yes or no, not an accurate how pregnant you are.

Hope everyone is good today 😊

s14a · 11/11/2022 16:07

I hope you don't mind me joining you all.

Got my BFP this morning but I'm not sure how many days past ovulation I am. I know it's faint but hoping for the best!
I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks on 15th October and we started trying again straight away.
Definitely had a negative yesterday but a nice line on a frer today!

This is our third baby. I have a DD who is 7 and a DS who is 18 months. We've been trying since DS was born because we wanted them close together!

Due July 2023
starbright92 · 11/11/2022 16:27

@MamaSJ15 thank you! When is your due date, how many weeks are you? Still doesn't feel real.

@Primrose09 really hope you get the news you're wanting this afternoon.

@s14a congratulations! Looks like a nice clear line to me!

Hi @Nadinya , what's the hook effect? I haven't heard of this before.

Rutennotou · 11/11/2022 19:08

Thanks for all the kind wishes ladies 😊

I've started spotting and have cramps like my period is coming so I don't think I'll be needing the EPU appoitnment on Thursday.

Theirmumxx · 11/11/2022 19:15

Hiiiiiii, I’ve joined because it’s TORTURE not being able to tell family and friends but found out I’m pregnant on Tuesday after 1 month of trying 😬😬 I’m considering myself sooooo lucky! This will be my third baby but quite a big age gap, oldest son is 10, daughter is almost 7 and baby will be due 18th July 2023 acc to my last period! (We said no more babies but changed our minds) Soooooo excited but it doesn’t get any less worrying does it!! Excited to meet other mummy’s due around the same time as me!! Hellooooo 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

MamaSJ15 · 11/11/2022 20:10

@Chaoscontrol l thank you, you're probably right but it's still so hard not to worry isn't it!

@s14a welcome and congrats!

@starbright92 bright92 around July 18th 😊 currently 4+4. Booked an early scan (private) when I'll be 7+6 but that feels so far away! How far along are you?

Spink2022 · 11/11/2022 20:25

Hi Everyone! I’ve done my first round of Ivf and ICSI for my first pregnancy and me and my DH are subfertile. I had 2 low grade embryos implanted and because im 29 I’ve got 10-15% chance of twins!

i tested positive on 4+2 which was my official test day from my clinic. On 4+4 I did a CB digital and got 2-3 weeks. I might do another tomorrow or Sunday as it will be a week since my last but I know they’re unreliable so don’t want it to worry me.

I’ve done a few FRERS but stopped now because the test line was darker than the control line.

as we only get 1 more round of IVF on NHS im really scared it will go wrong and we will never have a baby. I have a scan at my fertility clinic at 6+6 so im counting down the hours until then.

i hope everyone has a lovely weekend ❤️

@Rutennotou sorry I've only just caught up and read your news, I am so, so sorry. It's such a shit thing to happen and you must be devastated. Sending love💔
@Primrose09 keeping my fingers crossed that all is ok for you and that your numbers rise.
@polkadotdasies88 Ive heard that many people have that and it is absolutely fine, but I know that's easy to say and I would also be freaking out, please be kind to yourself and I hope you get a scan or blood test to reassure you and that your CM goes back to normal colour.
@Spink2022 hello, fellow IVFer here! Congratulations, your tests look lovely and strong!
@Chaoscontrol well done for stopping testing...that way madness lies...there is nothing more those tests can tell you! Today, you are pregnant!
👋hi everyone else, sorry I don't come on too often so probably missed lots of updates, but hope you are all ok!

MamaSJ15 · 11/11/2022 21:47

@Spink2022 congrats!! Wow those lines are so strong, maybe it is twins!!

I did my last FRER tonight, happy to see a stronger line and now I only have a Digi left which I'm leaving for a few more days. Then no more testing!!

Due July 2023
