October 2018 Bumpkins!

Be honest, three days after my vfl bfp, these should be getting darker faster, right. And tonight’s (on bottom) is actually slightly lighter than this morning’s (on top), right?

I think it’s too hard to say because it’s different lighting. I’d give it another try tomorrow. By then things should be progressing. I understand your worry - been there myself! Fx
 
Just a reminder there is a secret fb October 2018 page set up if anyone would like to be added. :flower:
 
I don't know how to add email address. Send me a link to your fb page I'll add you as a friend add you and you can delete me then if you want no problem 😁
 
Thank you for the welcome everyone!

I've just read through the thread from the beginning to catch up on everything. Here is my two cents on:

Twins - my husband is a twin and would absolutely love to have twins (obviously doesn't think of the practicalities!), we had a very strong positive quite early on after our FET which is unusual so I guess it's possible there is more than one in there! We have a scan at 7+4 so we will see!

Symptoms - nothing to note so far really. I think I've been feeling a bit hungrier than usual, but I am often very hungry anyway so it's hard to tell. Definitely no nausea or sore boobs at all. I am a bit bloated, but again, I bloat easily anyway so who knows!

Telling people - our circumstances are a little different to some people's I suppose because of the infertility. A lot of people found out we were going through IVF when I ended up in hospital back in November and so they knew that we would be doing a FET at some point after Christmas. Our friends knew the exact dates of transfer and so they know now that I'm currently pregnant. We want to tell our families in person and we will be seeing both of them in March so will do it then.

What is everyone's view on exercise? My husband wants to wrap me in cotton wool and if he had his way, all I would do is some walking (walking on an incline at the very most :haha:), however, everything I have read points to exercise being absolutely fine (even encouraged), especially if you were very active pre-pregnancy - which I was!
 
Kind of in shock. Was sure this was going the way of a CP, but today’s test is darker than yesterday’s. So, I’m still in it!

So my boobs have been less sore the last few days. A little worrisome but im still feeling stretching feelings on my sides so i am hoping the baby is in there still growing! Also nausea seems like it really fluctuates. Sometimes it is really bad other times i feel normal. Anyone else have ever changing symptoms?
 
Exercise is for sure a good thing. I've been jogging a few times a week plus I do a little cardio in between. I've been on the trampoline and in the pool. I think a active pregnancy is a healthy pregnancy.
 
Thanks Tankel! Exercise makes me feel great so I'm sure as hell not going to stop! I guess it's a case of listen to your body and if something doesn't feel good then don't do it.
 
Hey guys not posted on this in a while as been busy with life really haha! Tiredness still very apparent along side the on off nausea when I haven’t eaten in a while and immense bloating. Also developed painful boobs and dizziness the past week which is fun.

Sorry for anyone having a worrying time and fingers crossed for you all. Congrats on the new bfps!
 
Beta from yesterday came back at 1295 (27 dpo), which puts it at 84 hours doubling time now. Doctor was encouraged and said it means I'm not miscarrying right now, so we just have to wait and see what happens, going to test again Thurs or Fri. She said it's normal for hcg to slow down after 1200 so it could be just that. I'm still very concerned it's not a healthy baby but want to give it a chance in case it's just a slow starter. So still in limbo! Progesterone pill side effects yesterday were so bad though, I was soo tired and dizzy all the sudden, like 8 hrs after I took it. Def need to be careful bc I'm still home alone with DD until the 25th, if hubs can find a decently priced flight home. :wacko:
 
I got to see my beanie today.. such a relief after the spotting last week :cloud9::cloud9::happydance:

lomelindi17 sounds like things are going in the right direction I know how hard it is not to worry I worry everyday and I have not even had any spotting still keeping you in my thoughts :D

RedRose19 Awww look at the little bean so cute I cannot wait for my scan in 3 and half weeks :D

As for me I grabbed a dollar tree test on the way home from the eye doctor and took it the test line is a ton darker then the control line must have some crazy high hcg going on at 18 dpo :D I also bought a doppler this morning cant wait to use it in about a month or so

lomelindi17: Well, its a good sing your dr is encouraged.

RedRose19: looks like a little fairy in there. <3

AFM: Bloating has gone down a bit, except for at night. I really want a ham sandwich. My craving this time around have been really strong and stuff I normally do not eat.
 
RedRose lovely little bean in there! That's a great scan pic!!

I feel the same! It sucks, because I really don't do well with carbs, so i don't eat cereal or toast... Now i can't eat eggs. Had a spinach salad today, and am now looking for other veg that i can turn into breakfast food. Any ideas?
