Collection and waiting

Had my collection yesterday and we got more eggs than expected but only 40% have fertilized. I knew this waiting time afterwards was tough but didn’t appreciate how tough until now! Waiting for a fresh transfer hopefully Friday. I know it only takes one and I’m so lucky to have been able to do this at all…but gosh it’s tough

Just sending you a lot of luck and positive thoughts

Thank you!

Best of luck 🤞

I should clarify - more eggs than expected in the context of us not expecting many at all!

I feel you! My transfer is in a few hours time. For the last 5 days every time my phone rings my heart drops thinking it's the clinic saying somethings up! Nerves are high but I guess all we can do is take a breather and have faith ❤️

Best best best of luck xx

Thank you - this was so helpful to hear, really lucky to have anything at all I know!!

hope all went well, we had ours yesterday, now the wait begins…

@Laura it did thank you! How is it going for you? I'm trying not to over analyse my symptoms tbh! Test date is Jun 8th so trying to keep busy until then xx

best of luck! Same here, having lots of cramps now which is deffo just the drugs but it’s hard not to read into it!

@Laura I made it to test day and unfortunately it is not my time. I'll call the clinic tomorrow for next steps. Fingers crossed for you sending lots and lots of baby dust your way xx

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 👀

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.

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.

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.
