Anyone want to join me? I'm likely jumping the gun as I have a history of reoccurring loss but it always helps me to chat as if it really will work out this time 🤞🏼❤️

Probably TMI ladies but a separate update from me- I have been suffering from the most awful constipation causing faecal impaction this week 😭I tried everything natural to sort it but no luck whatsoever it was so painful- the only thing that worked was trusty Micralax enemas- absolute godsend if anyone ends up in the same position

User491 · 18/11/2023 08:49

Morning everyone,

I have been watching this thread since I got my BFP a few days ago,

We have had 3 rounds of IVF, first ended in a pregnancy, but I miscarried nothing to freeze, second nothing made it past day 3 and nothing transferred, this round nothing to freeze but I had a top grade and an average grade early blastocyst transferred.

I was reluctant to join as I'm only classed as 4+3, and I am so worried something will go wrong, but this one is progressing better than my first round already. I got a due stealer yesterday and a 2-3 weeks on a clear blue. I've decided not to test until next week now, just to see if I get a 3+

I've had nausea a few times over the last couple of days, keep getting a few pains and twinges as if af is on her way 😬 and had a really bad head. So hard to know if it's good news or bad news 🙈

I'm booked for an early scan at 6+1, they said they probably won't see everything they need to discharge me as it's so early, but it's more to put my mind at ease, that it's in the correct place etc.

Sorry for the essay, fingers crossed we all get some good news!

Jess725 · 18/11/2023 09:52

Hiya 🥰 how we all feeling?
I’m 6+5 and last night the nausea woke me up. I fear it’s going to get worse 😆anyone else
had this?
Im trying all the concoctions but crackers are my best friend.
I’ve got a scan on Tuesday I’m super nervous to see heartbeat as I’ve not made it that far before. Hurry up weekend!!!

Mummytobe2023 · 18/11/2023 09:54

I'm having the same issue and would love to join if there was a new link please?

Vittoriosa · 18/11/2023 12:52

Silly question but if I join the facebook link will my facebook friends be able to see? Keeping it quiet til after 12 weeks

Friedseasalt · 18/11/2023 12:56

@Mummytobe2023 a new thread has been posted with the fb link

Joannakabana · 18/11/2023 13:00

Im 6+5 today and, after some nasty nausea yesterday, am worried about a miscarriage. I did a test this morning and think it looks lighter than the one I did 2 days ago, plus I’ve been having some very period-like cramps.

I know it’s silly to test so often at this stage but I’ve had so many failures from IVF before, it helps me to know what’s going on. Any thoughts, or am I just going crazy?

Sorry, wrong photo. This is the one from today compared with 2 days ago.

@Friedseasalt hi, is the new link in a different conversation thread? Sorry bit confused and had no luck with the other links. Thanks

Friedseasalt · 18/11/2023 13:10

@Forest1234 yes it’s in a new thread. Name is still July 2024!

I have never felt this rough in previous pregnancies. I go between feelings of exhaustion, nausea, starving, to feeling great. I can have all of them on a rollercoaster within an hour. I’ve found I’m waking at 4.30am starving sick but Mini cheddars are my new best friend and I’m keeping packs everywhere! I work in such a small office that it’s taking every bit of energy to pretend I’m fine. Big smiles to all the kids at school when all I want to do is lie down. Feeling a real weight in my lower abdomen too

I feel like this also, is this your third baby?

I've heard that third labours can be tough, maybe third pregnancies are too? Envy

CB2805 · 18/11/2023 14:05

@User491 hi I’m currently in the same boat! 3 failed transfers, one successful and based on calculations looks like 5+1.
still early days, and anxious about everything I used to cramp a lot since transfer but they just stopped a few days ago, so my brain is on overdrive😅
I believe IVF is taking all the joy of the pregnancy!
how you’ve been feeling?

CB2805 · 18/11/2023 14:09

@Joannakabana your tests look like a dye stealers! Congrats and try to enjoy the moment.
I can see a very slight difference but could be just the urine more diluted! I experienced the same with my tests a few days back and next day was coming back even darker.

Joannakabana · 18/11/2023 14:28

Thanks for that. I hope I’m being paranoid and overthinking but I can’t shake the feeling that I’ll miscarry again. Scan is on Tuesday so I’m super nervous as, last time I had a 7-week scan, there was nothing there.

MummyBear2519 · 18/11/2023 14:57

@CheshGirl yes third baby but my youngest is turning 10 soon!

I’ve never actually been in labour due to csections so that’s one bullet dodged I suppose

I just keep reminding myself that hopefully all the new symptoms increasing means they are growing happily

CB2805 · 18/11/2023 15:23

@Joannakabana im so sorry for your loses, the pain must be unbearable especially when you trying so hard with IVF!
anxiety must be worst after mcs , but tbh with you I’m in the same boat here! So anxious about everything I’ve read literally every single story/ post about mc so I’m freaking out more. So scared for my next scan as well!
did you had missed miscarriages before?

Joannakabana · 18/11/2023 16:37

Technically they were chemical pregnancies before. I’ve never had a pregnancy test that has come close to the ones I’m seeing this time. I’m 40 years old and this is my 6th transfer so I guess I’m allowed to be nervous.

CB2805 · 18/11/2023 17:52

@Joannakabana ofcaurse you’re!! And it’s actually normal to be anxious! I wish you a smooth sail🩵
ps I bet anxiety won’t go away until we feel the first kicks🤭

Forest1234 · 18/11/2023 22:44

Staying at my parents this weekend so sharing a room with my 2 year old (I say like she doesn’t wake a million times a night and end up in our bed usually anyway 🫠). Parents don’t yet know im pregnant and have had a calpol plug in the room - my daughter is unwell and struggling to breathe. Anyone have any idea as to why it says not to use in pregnancy? Just that there has been no trials to confirm safety or are the ingredients known to be harmful? Not sure whether to unplug it! 🤔

User491 · 19/11/2023 09:15

@CB2805 it's a tough journey isn't it!
Fingers crossed for you this time ☺️
I'm the exact same, very anxious, but trying to remain positive. My first BFP in January I was bleeding at this point, so I am thinking of it as a little milestone 🙈

I was very crampy yesterday, like my period was coming. Other than that vivid dreams, high temp, sore boobs and an occasional sickly feeling. I cannot tell you how much I am struggling to think of what I want to eat, but loving cereal 😂

I'm 4+4 today, going to be a long road I think 🙈😂
Have you put the tests down now?

missmoosh · 19/11/2023 09:21

Hey girls can I join? I am 11dpo, but think 4+1 today, so very early based on LMP. Trying for 16 months (longer if you count a period of time when we had 0 chance due to thyroid). So am terrified it's all going to go wrong!
No symptoms or anything atm! How dark was everyone's tests at this point?

CB2805 · 19/11/2023 10:32

@User491 yay that’s 100% a milestone!!🫶🏻
I used to love food since transfer, literally enjoying everything but last couple of days I’m forcing myself to eat even things that I used to love😭other than that just sore boobs and weird AF feeling last night which scared the hell out of me!
can’t put the tests down either unfortunately, 16dp5dt I had my 3+ on clear blue and I thought I’m done testing but can’t help it sending my DH to grab another one today🤣
wish you a happy and smooth pregnancy🩵

Amyw367 · 19/11/2023 10:36

Yes please..I am still super early but due July 20th

Macccc · 19/11/2023 12:25

@missmoosh congratulations! that’s my tests. Top 10dpo on boots 5 day early, middle 11dpo on clear blue 5 days early and bottom 12dpo on normal boots one! I’d say the lines are darker than what I’ve previously been at this stage (even with twins). I’m 14dpo now and stopping testing apart from planning on doing a clear blue weeks indicator tomorrow to check if I’m 2-3 yet! So much anxiety😳😂

Due July 24
