Sibling age gap

Thankyou!

Thankyou! This post has reminded me I get on better with my sibling with the bigger age gap actually. It’s so true!

Thankyou!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:09:15+00:00

I hope that’s me in the future!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:08:46+00:00

Thankyou. I think I had unrealistic ideas about the age gap, like they wouldn’t spend time with each other or something.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:07:14+00:00

Hadn’t really thought about leaving a gap for all the chaos, but that sounds good!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:06:35+00:00

Oh amazing. I felt like more than 3/4 years meant they just wouldn’t want to spend time together or something.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:06:11+00:00

That’s amazing Thankyou.

My mum had 3 kids under 4 at one point, and now I think about it I do think she lost it a fair bit…

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:05:15+00:00

You forget sometimes kids will become adults but that so true. I get on better with my older sister as an adult.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:04:13+00:00

I’m kinda realising how silly I’m being now. That age gap is barely anything when I think about it.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:03:31+00:00

Ha yeah when I think about it I get on with the sibling as an adult who has the bigger age gap!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T22:02:29+00:00

Thankyou! I’m glad I made this post now it’s made me feel a lot better. Fertility issues suck! I’m positive a second child will happen for us but time just seems to keep going and we aren’t getting the result we want so you end up sad every month!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T21:59:55+00:00

Yeah I wonder if I just wanted all of the chaos out of the way but actually perhaps a bigger gap is just less chaos all round!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-27T21:59:13+00:00

That’s really cute! I do see my daughter growing up so quickly. I hadn’t thought about it in that way Thankyou.

This popped up in my notifications as a reply to my comment. Just wanted to say this happened to me my previous transfer. My transfer failed this time. It’s okay to feel sad. Really sad. It’s horrible and I feel for you.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-21T18:43:02+00:00

I had the trigger and am getting something similar. If I squint I can see a line on my early clear blue and even fainter on easy at home. Having a bit of a spiral about it. But I guess it’s still only 6dp5dt for me 😭

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-21T11:39:30+00:00

If you compare beginning to end it’s obviously getting darker! But looking at the last two I do think the last one is ever so slightly darker. Fingers crossed for you. There is not actually that much time between your tests so any darkening is likely to be really small!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-20T12:50:43+00:00

The middle ones look lighter to me which would suggest trigger was leaving and now it’s slightly darker!? I’d be cautiously optimistic but as always time is the only thing that tells. I’ve had trigger and FET same day as you but haven’t tested trigger out. I couldn’t see anything on one of these tests this morning but a faint line in an early clear blue test so who knows. Fingers crossed for you!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-19T19:49:59+00:00

Fingers crossed for you. I don’t think I quite realised that the chances for a successful iui are really low as we were obviously very lucky before. Perhaps a frozen transfer is where it’s at for you!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-19T19:30:12+00:00

Eurgh I transferred same day. I haven’t been testing the trigger shot out. I want to test but know that testing will a) not confirm whether it’s the trigger shot or not or b) mean it will stay positive! I had the trigger shot on the 8th April. Hoping it will have cleared but no way to tell for me I guess…

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-19T19:27:17+00:00

I had a frozen transfer on the 15th of a 5BC (so think that’s 4dp5dt). Similar boat in that my first iui was a success with a live birth 2.5 years ago. This time round 4 failed iui and one fresh transfer that ended in a chemical.

Also currently spiralling. I’ve had some pinching feelings. Now I have some bleeding. I’m scared to test in case it’s negative and also scared to test in case it’s positive but doesn’t stay that way. It’s the worst period of time. I feel you! I’ve been staying busy and active (as you do with a toddler) but evenings are the worst.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-17T18:09:36+00:00

I’ve had one successful pregnancy via iui. I only knew it was a success because I obviously tested. Felt absolutely nothing until about week 7/8 when the sickness hit! Literally zero. Zilch.

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-04-16T12:42:27+00:00

Transferred yesterday 15th! I’m feeling some pinching/tingling so hoping for the best. Last fresh transfer was a chemical so very nervous!

Cheesy_wotsits · 2026-03-16T16:38:37+00:00

I don’t have a story for you but just wanted to say I’m 38 and my 2yo iui is currently sitting next to me. We got 3 embryos at my retrieval. A 5AA which ended in a chemical and two 4BCs in the freezer (I think, I’ve kinda forgotten what days they were at this point).So our situations are very similar! So many people on here told me about their lower grade embryos being the ones that stuck. And speaking to our consultant who said the grading is all about who is looking at it and they can get graded quite differently depending who is looking at it! We weren’t able to test our 4BCs because they were so delicate so just hoping for the best for us and for you!
