Light bleed today girls - didn't last long but surely not a good sign tho eh?

 

[H4M]

Minno stay positive could just be implantation, try not to stress and worry! Some people bleed so keep thinking positive xx

Hie ladies, a warm welcome Trying. I was on top of the list earlier than expected we would have been starting our treatment this year but got I our wee boy already. Our 1st appointment when we reached the top was may last year and was for bloods then after a month I started down regging and got our embryo transferred in july. The whole process for me was 2-3 months from bloods to transfer but it all depends on which cycle you on, like Rags said just prepare some questions to ask on your appointment good luck.
Minno I think that's implantation bleeding, not to worry too much.
Rags it seems you had much fun at alton towers. Wee man has got his bcg vaccination today hope it won't give him problems and he will continue as normal like what he did with the other vaccinations as we are off to London on Wednesday, his 1st trip out of Scotland apart from when he was in the oven.
Waves to everyone. x

Welcome Trying .

That's fantastic news about your early app we didn't have to wait too long either but was told a long waiting list, have you been to hospital before for your bloods Ect? My very first ever app they just asked loads of questions about me and my husband, and I got checked by a camera to see if they could see anything that didn't look right to begin with. Then we discussed what treatment I think and we were put on waiting list. When we went back I got bloods taken Ect , it seems so long ago I can't remember if this is exactly correct lol. Good luck xx

Thanks for the welcome we have been being seen at the sub fertility clinic over in Forth Valley whilst getting on the list, have had all the first stages bloods, US and HSG done, hubby has done two samples. I think from what I can find out this appt will be all our consent forms and bloods for hep b, HIV etc... Excited but nervous!! Xx

Thanks for the welcome, and big big congrats on your little boy being here already!! I think from what I can guess that I'll follow the same pattern as you, looks like bloods and consent forms at this appt and they discuss treatment plan and estimated start date and protocol

 

[Minno]

Have a lovely time funfair! Trying good luck with your apt x

Welcome Trying 2012. We have all had different ivf journeys, just try to relax and ask as many questions as possible even if you think they are stupid...ask.

Minno I was only on Crinone up to my test date & vitamins. I havent had anything 'free' from NHS I have to buy my own Pregnancare. Don't worry too much about a slight bleed it could be implantation also even if the two dont snuggle in, one might be so dont get yourself in a panic. I wish the days would hurry up for you testing, it's torture waiting. I hope you are getting plenty of rest, no exercise?

Funfair Awww what a good boy you have the first injections would have been so nervous for you, tell us about your wee boy? Good sleeper? Can you tell by his crys what he is wanting?

I cant wait to hold my wee boy. Seems alot more real now I've had the big scan, I dont think I've felt movement sometimes I think maybe yes but I dont know!

 

[H4M]

Funfair hope you have a lovely time x

Trying, good luck, it will fly in after this app x

Minno how are you feeling now? X

V, won't be long before you are definitely feeling movement, I was a bit like that to begin with, was unsure if was movement but I'm sure now it was was weird feelings to begin with x

 

[Minno]

No more bleeding today other than a tiny bit when I got up his morning. Dunno what's going on. I'm 7dp5dt today. Still a week until official test date but will likely test over the weekend as I'd hunk it would show up,by then. What do you think girls?

Trying your first appt will be bloods, paperwork and review your history and notes and plan your treatment cycle. Wonderful to get going. Enjoy!

I think I'd be itching to test Minno, and if you manage to hold off till the weekend then you are showing amazing restraint. Just remember that you still have time for your little bean/beans to setting in and get comfy though so whatever the test says don't lose heart.

Pregnacare - I never got any vitiamins from the NHS but always found that Boots, Superdrug and Holland and Barrett competed quite well with each other on these. There was always one of them doing a 3 for 2 deal or buy one get one half price. Shop around a bit.

 

[Minno]

Bit more spotting today and af pains. I think I'm out. Hate limbo land, just need to get it over and move on. Will defo be testing in next couple of days.
And if it's negative, I'm booking a holiday for me and my boys to Florida to cheer us up!
Xxx

 

[H4M]

Try not to think too negative Minno, I know it's really hard though. Testing can go both ways... If it's negative you will just feel down and kick yourself even though it may just be that not showing a positive result yet, if positive will make you feel more at ease no doubt, maybe test for the nxt few days? Xx

 

[Minno]

Yep H, can't win either way eh! Spotting has stopped again but I'm going to test this weekend as it's driving me crazy. That'll be 11 days after a five day transfer so 16dpo - that should be long enough to get an accurate result.
Will keep You posted! Xx

 

[H4M]

Yep Minno, good luck xx

 

[V2R]

Good luck for testing Minno don't lose hope, get they negative thoughts out of your head. Some people bleed/spot all the way through pregnancy. I don't know if this is a silly thing to ask but since you had two put back in, did they mention if there is a possible chance that if one snuggles in & the other doesn't could that cause bleeding/spotting? xx

 

[Minno]

Not a silly question at all V. I think that can happen. Spotting stopped again. Planning to test soon!!

I read back a bit and I think you had a wee bleed before your bfp - is that right?
Trying to banish negativity but I do feel like its game over - again! Xx

 

[V2R]

I honestly cant remember I thought I never had any bleeding. I now wish I had written all of the symptoms I felt down. I do remember feeling very bloated and like I was away to get af also felt a bit sick.

Try and get positive thoughts. Is it a lot of blood or just spotting? No clots? How about sick feeling, is it like af pain or a severe pain? Questions questions...xx

 

[Minno]

What do u think?

 

[Minno]

Just a wee bit of blood. Tiny wee bits of what looked like lining. No pains now and spotting stopped for now. I think the test looks darker now then when I did it this morning.
