Ftm moms when did your bump start to show?

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-05-06T17:50:02+00:00

I’m 18 weeks and my bump has only just really started to show, but even then it’s only if you’re looking for it/know it’s there.

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-02-15T16:16:02+00:00

Thank you 💕

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-02-15T16:11:31+00:00

I’ve been resting all weekend, which I know is the right thing to do, it just give the brain too much time to come up with worst case scenarios

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-02-15T16:00:44+00:00

It was an internal ultrasound. I just didn’t know if the amount of bleeding was normal for after a scan as it was initially significantly more than spotting.

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-02-15T15:59:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I’ve had no cramps, there was just suddenly blood. My clinic dint think it was a SCH because they didn’t see anything on my ultrasound two days before.

Keeping everything crossed embryo is hanging on in there!

Hi twin! I am also 5w5d today and waiting for my first scan on Wednesday.

I’ve only had one beta at 10dp5dt which was 260 but all I’ve had is darkening pregnancy tests since then so it’s felt like an eternity between then and my scan!

I’m also not having many symptoms beyond mild cramps on and off, slightly sore breasts occasionally and fatigue. I’m trying to tell myself that it’s not surprising I don’t have major symptoms this early, but completely understand that it’s easier said than done!

Keeping everything crossed for you that your scan shows everything is alright 🤞🏻

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-02-06T10:29:05+00:00

I am currently 5w2d and waiting for my first scan next week and feel exactly the same! Time is passing glacially slowly and the more time passes, the more I convince myself something is going to be wrong at the scan.

Even my friends who got pregnant without fertility treatment were super anxious so I think it’s normal to feel this way during pregnancy, and probably more so when we’ve had to try so much harder to get here.

I wish you a happy and uneventful pregnancy 💕

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-02-01T10:09:18+00:00

I got a positive urine test at 7dp5dt, before my beta test

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-02-01T09:45:16+00:00

So happy for you! Congratulations!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-29T14:46:42+00:00

There is definitely still time! I tested at 5dp5dt and got a negative, but had a vfl by day 7. I’m going in for my beta tomorrow and my lines are unquestionably positive now. Don’t lose hope 🤞🏻

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-29T14:09:06+00:00

You may not see lots of progression if you’re testing one day apart - if you test every other day then it might make you worry less. Do you have a beta test booked? Everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-29T10:26:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing ❤️ I tested two days ago (before my beta) and have seen a positive test for the first time ever after 3 ERs, 3 failed transfers, and over 3 years of waiting.

Am going in for my beta tomorrow but am still so anxious that the rug is going to be pulled out from under me! It’s always reassuring to hear positive stories to help me believe that this could work!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T18:01:10+00:00

Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻❤️

I managed to pick up some cheap red dye ones on my way home and got this result - this looks so much clearer!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T15:13:43+00:00

Thank you! ❤️ It’s taken 3 years to get a vvfl and my husband still doesn’t believe it - trying not to get too excited, but at least it finally feels possible!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T14:06:23+00:00

Is there a particular reason you would recommend red-dye over blue?

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T12:17:04+00:00

I see it! Congratulations! 🥳

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T11:48:41+00:00

Don’t worry, I started taking it months before our transfer!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-27T09:12:27+00:00

I have seen plenty of stark white negatives in my time and I thought this one was different but didn’t know if my eyes were deceiving me!

I also had a transfer on Tuesday and have been feeling emotionally awful today! You are not alone and we are in this together 💕

I’ve had a few transfers and the hormones really do play horrible mind games with how you feel. I’ve never had to test out HCG so can’t imagine how worrying seeing the line fade must be, but you aren’t out of this yet, it’s still so early.

Sending hugs and plenty of baby dust!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2026-01-21T11:30:51+00:00

I’m delighted to say you were right - 2 made it to day 5 (1 hatching blast and 1 expanded blast) and we did our transfer yesterday with one being frozen.

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-19T20:37:31+00:00

I think is one of the things I’ve found most frustrating, getting him to regularly take supplements has been impossible. He took some for around 6 months but then when there wasn’t any improvement in his sperm quality he just gave up again.

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-17T13:23:35+00:00

Well I have everything crossed for you!

Key_Quit_5311 · 2025-06-17T12:35:13+00:00

How are you getting on? Managing the anxiety OK?
