confused myself

[becky]

Hi I have read and reread all of the notes so many times and all of the posts that I am now completely confused on 2 things;<br><br>1. when does the 2ww start from? from the day of fertilization or the day of et? I have et yesterday so am I on day 2 of 2ww or day 3 of 2ww?<br><br>2. If we were to be lucky and things are to work how do you work out a due date? dh and I were dreaming away and then thought..but when would it all happen? Do you count from the start of dr or the first day of AF whilst on dr?<br><br>Would love to know what your thoughts are..<br><br>Perhaps its the hormones making me go mad!<br><br>Love Becky B

Becky<br>Answer to your questions<br>1. The dreaded 2ww - you count the day of your e/t as day 1, so as of 17/11 you are on day2 (i think!!)<br>2. From my pregnancy book if you had you et yesterday and you were to go full term your due date would be around - 24 August 2003<br>GOOD LUCK - any more questions?<br>LOVE DEBSx

Another thing with these "$%£@~@ pessaries is every time I put one in in the morning within..30 minutes I need a pooh!<br>I have been told that as long as you can hold on for 1.5 hours things will be ok..worried tho' as have to run at 1 hour 31 minutes to the loo and pooh is white!! - sorry to repulse you all..but who else can I ask? I would hate it all to fail just because of bodies bad timing..<br>tried to use the front door last night but still so sore from ec..<br>love becky B

Hi Becky<br>I too am confused on the issue of the 2ww. I have e/c on the 8th and e/t on the 11th. But my test is the 22nd - which is 2 weeks after e/c, not e/t?!!!<br>Seems everyone has something different?<br>Are you having any pains? I just constantly feel like I am about to start my af....hopefully this is a good sign!<br>Good luck and take care of yourself.<br>Love Tina

Becky<br>If I was you stick with the pesseries as horrible as they are as I personally think these help in the 2ww as I had 2 injections around et and I got a big fat negative.<br><br>Tina<br>My hospital counted 2 weeks after ec and then they did my preg test, so the 22nd would be right as your eggs are then 2 weeks old and a test can then be done.<br>With reagrds to pains I had slight lower stomach and back pains in 2ww but not the extent that some people talk about, so I think pains are a good sign.GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU IN 2WW<br><br>Love Debsx

Hi Becky<br>I had the awful pessaries up the bum and needed the loo after too. The clinic said they only take 15 minutes to dissolve, but I would try and go first and then stick a pessary up afterwards. If not, I tried to wait for an hour. I remember those awful pessaries so well, sticking them up the bum was awful. Good luck on your 2ww.<br>Lots of love<br>Louise XXX
