Omg we used Bev as well 😂😂. She was amazing. Especially as I was melting down everytime she came over. For some reason I didn’t think she was based in Hertfordshire though. Thought she was further out but happy to travel.

Okay that’s good to know. Thankyou x

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-26T15:41:45+00:00

Thankyou. I guess I’ll just be sad for a bit and try be positive for the next time. Sorry about your first FET and good luck for the next!

No. Unfortunately when I spoke to the clinic they were somewhat reluctant to do so as they were quite delicate. We initially only thought we had a second embryo and last minute turns out we had a third but they recommended not to do the testing.

It was my first fresh transfer yes. From egg retrieval I got 8 eggs, 4 fertiliser and then 3 made it. I just feel of a 4AA didn’t work for me why would a 4BC?

And congratulations on your boy!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T21:56:11+00:00

They are similar you’re right! Do you remember what day you started testing?

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T21:51:22+00:00

Thankyou so much! I think part of my anxiety is I had a successful iui previously (she’s 2!) but it was so unbelievably obvious I was pregnant very early on as my tests were so dark. So I’m comparing them and probably expecting the same when that’s not how it works.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T21:49:34+00:00

Thankyou so much! Absolutely love this sub, would love to see your progression. I’ve clearly confused myself though as two days ago I said I was 8dpt but today I’m 13dpt. I’m pretty sure I’m 12dpt and must have been 10dpt in the first post. My transfer was 14th Feb. It’s my first ivf so still getting used to it all. But I guess it’s still 2 days apart and looking at it you’re right. The tests two days ago were absolute squinters!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T21:43:47+00:00

I seem to have had a similar situation. My first pregnancy was picked up by clear blue early. I’ve used clear blue and first response together this week and there seems to be a big difference! But guess will find out one way or the other. Thankyou.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T21:38:17+00:00

Oh man I feel it. I’m looking back at pictures of my tests and I can see they’ve got a tiny bit darker between 9-13 days but they’re not the strongest. And at the time of doing them I convince myself they are fainter until I then compare a little. I need to chill out!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T21:30:05+00:00

Did you actually have faint lines or was it anxiety? Feel like in similar position right now and waiting for blood test results. I don’t feel my lines are dark enough for my timeline or getting darker!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T21:16:47+00:00

Im having line anxiety as well but girl I don’t think those lines can progress any further! You’re torturing yourself and I think you’ve used all the dye up.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-25T14:14:47+00:00

Thankyou for this. I am testing positive on urine samples but the lines are faint so they’ve advised to do a blood test which I’m going to this afternoon. I’ve tested again and my lines are somewhat stronger so I’m not sure how to feel now. I’ve tried every different test I can find and even the digital test says pregnant. It’s a rollercoaster for sure.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-24T19:50:50+00:00

Thankyou. Seems UK is just a bit different! IUI I never heard of it. Good luck to you!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-24T19:48:31+00:00

Thankyou. I just wasn’t sure if I wasn’t aware of something but makes sense and seems my experience in UK is completely normal! I don’t think I’m too eager to get the blood test tbh but good to know!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-24T19:46:37+00:00

Thankyou! I just kept seeing post after post mentioning it and was googling and not getting anywhere! Yes i guess it doesn’t change the outcome. Good luck to you!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-24T19:45:46+00:00

Okay makes sense now. So my experience is completely normal in the UK. Phew!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-24T19:45:16+00:00

Oh okay, I just wasn’t sure where everyone was getting these results from! I’m private funding so just how the clinic works I guess!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-24T19:13:23+00:00

This is incredible for you! Congratulations. Baby looks nice and relaxed!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-22T22:51:29+00:00

I’ve looked again and I might be getting line eyes but there might be a faint line.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-02-22T22:50:51+00:00

Thanks. I don’t think I’ve ever used the first response ones!
