How the heck do you keep your feet warm after an embryo transfer??

My feet are always cold and I can’t do anything to warm them up!
Is a heating pad acceptable?

I got foot warmers and put them in my slippers

I just made sure I had socks on and didn’t have them directly on my skin

I doubled up on socks and when in bed put hot water bottle on my feet.

I’m wearing two socks and one has fleece lining but still cold 😂

i used an electric heat pad. i didn’t pay much attention to the always keep feet warm stuff, but as a general thing i hate having cold feet. i can never fully warm up/be comfortable if my hands and feet are ice blocks 🥴.

I spoke to my doctor about this today when I was having my 4th FET because my feet are also always cold and they told me not to worry about it, I also asked about drinking cold drinks and my doctor laughed at me (thankfully the speculum was already in at that point 🙈🤣) they basically said to follow the NHS guidelines as I’m in the UK so no alcohol, no heavy lifting and a balanced diet etc and take my medication and not to listen to all of the old wives tales because it will either work or it won’t. I get why we try all these things because it’s nice to feel like we’re doing things to help 😊 but this is my 4th transfer and I really just want to try to remain positive this time. Good luck! 🙏

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
