IVF- 5weeks pregnant!

I had my 5 day double embryo FET early Feb, wondering if anyone in this group is expecting via IVF/ICSI.

How are people feeling?

Me! We were ICSI and it was our very first transfer, I'm still in shock that it worked and terrified something will go wrong. I'm 5w4d and noticing more and more symptoms but they seem to come and go which scares me. We have an early scan with our clinic in 10 days and it feels like forever away!

Congratulations!
This is our 5th transfer. Last one was sadly ectopic so I have an early scan Tuesday to confirm the placement.
Me too symptoms come and go.. which got me thinking today I've had a mmc! Hopefully not!

Oh fingers crossed you get good news at your scan! Yeah the symptoms disappearing always panics me but then they always seem to come back worse than before so I'm trying not to worry but it's really hard!

100% like today noticed my boobs don't hurt as much :/

Not IVF but we did IUI. I have my scan on Friday 🤞

Me! I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and had two fresh embryos transferred but we didn’t have anything else available to freeze. We have an early scan in just over 2 weeks 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Congratulations ladies, we had IVF and are 4w1d pregnant 🥰..not had many symptoms and not sure what to expect. We are due to tell the nurses at our hospital on Friday as they said to test then but couldn’t help ourselves 😝

It's so hard not to symptom spot and compare to others.. but guess its out of our control! Lop

We are IVF - I have terrible nausea but it didn’t hit to week 5. Currently 7weeks with our scan on Wednesday 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else struggling between constipation and an upset stomach?

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

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??

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.
