Good Morning everyone!

I took someones advice and I ended up taking one of the Pregnant/ not pregnant read out tests...

I got another faint line on Sunday morning.. and that was enough to drive me mad..

So the Pregnant/Not pregnant test measure a higher level of HCG it measures starting at 50 where the Line test tarts at 25.

But the Read out test said Pregnant! So I am really in the clouds with that test response.


But I am holding out for the official test tomorrow...


Hugs to everyone!

Good Luck and keep us posted Hun.

Looking forward to a call! she said probably we can do a transfer the last week in May. I am excited! First time for IVF/ICSI-heres to hoping it works!!

Good Luck and lots of baby dust!!!

As you say, I am very lucky to be on track so far. But reading this board makes sure that you know the number & size of the hurdles that we all have to clear.

Anyway, I found the new smily faces at:

They made me smile so hope that they do the same for you.

Hope that work is not too bad tomorrow.

Take good care.

Even faint lines are still positives and now your new test is positive too so i'm sure it'll be positive on your official test day.

remember that most women who are ttc naturally are using the hpts so much later than us so they'll have stronger lines but a line is a line!

looking forward to your "offical" result but it sounds all good to me!

Hi everyone -Hope you had a Happy Easter!!!

Sorry I haven't written in a couple of days. I was little down. I just realised I should more often cuz it makes me feel so much better when I read your posts. I just caught up -5 pages worth.None of my friends really understand what we are going through and almost all of them have babies or are pregnant right now except for my sister-in-law.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your comments its really incredible to think that you can have such a strong support network.

I started bleeding on thursday for 4 days. It was normal. When I got a fibroid removed(8 CM reduced to 4.5CM) 2 years ago-I had the Depo Lupron injection(1 every month for 3 months)The first month It made me bleed unbelievably- So subconciouly I was really worried this DOWN REG would cause the same. So I haven't selpt well for 3 days! Luckily that is over and I'm expecting some hot flashes now. I've been through that so that's familiar territory...at least that much.


Mitzy- CONGRATULATIONS!! I hope the little bean settles in comfortably, I'm sending you lots of positive vibes- enjoy those pineapples. Thanks for the tip I'll be loading up on them too. Fingers crossed on BFP I am confident that yes it can happen to you!Send happy thought to your little bean and stay pisitive.

Danielle-Keeping fingers crosed tightly for the official blood test. I'm sure the HPT is right! CONGRATS!!! That's so cool!

Carolyn- I'm a busybee as well. When I'm feeling nervous I want to start all sorts of projects- like redecorate the entire house! I started DOWN REGGING on April 6th and my first U/S is April 20th.I thought we were almost on the same schedule but I see you started stems? How's that going for you?.

Vessi- How are you doing?

Natalie- how are you feeling?The headaches? I was curious to know how many days you've been on Buerelin? When did you notice the first side effects?

Lucy- Keeping my fingers crossed about your cyst. Stay positive. Seding vibes that it shrinks.

Prissy- Good Luck tomorrow!!I wish you lots!!!

Sammy- Congrats- wow 3! My DH and I are doing Icis also. Its great to hear good news.

CYOT- I used Depo Lupron(for fibroid TMT)- the one with the huge needle. I know that part is terrible. It worked well made it shrink quickly but I did bleed a lot for a few days.

Heather- Don't worry- I think we all get really nervous over this and get emotional towards our husbands, I cried a lot and was moody b4 we officially decided to strat the tmt. Hang in there!

I tried to catch up...

A BIG HI TO ANYONE I MISSED- HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL.

Wow, we've grown to be quite a group

Hope everyone is doing ok, haven't posted for a while as currently in the middle of down regging. Been on buserelin injections for 11 days with another 9 to go until my baseline scan on 27 April. Haven't had too many side effects, feel a bit sickly in a morning and had one or two hot flushes but nothing else - although DH might disagree and say I've had mood swings Must admit I'm getting a bit fed up with the down regging, seems as though I've been on these injections forever and had to start injecting in the top of my legs rather than my tummy as it was really painful. AF arrived on schedule today and I'm still trying to take one day at a time and not think too far ahead but getting impatient and can't wait to get the next stage of treatment underway

Danielle - Wishing you lots of luck for your test tomorrow and hoping you get us all off to a great start!

Prissy - Good luck for the ER tomorrow, hope you get lots of 'easter' eggs!

Love
WendyW x

Hey ya'll. Thanks so much for the advice on DH. He's a big fisherman (we actually bought a boat last month) so he's been going out for his alone time whenever he gets a chance. I'm glad he's getting a chance to do that and so glad we bought the boat. I can imagine he would strangle me if he was home all the time. I'm driving from Texas to South Carolina for a week on Thursday so I'll be able to make him miss me a bit before the real mood swings hit with the shots. Haha.

I notice a lot of people are doing the shots in their tummy's. My doc said to do them in the rear. Does anyone know if there is a difference?

I've been praying for all of us as well.

Hi ladies
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. After my ET on Friday I tried to keep my feet up and relax. I got quite bored though. I am now on the dreaded 2ww. My test date is April 28.

Danielle -- Lots & lots of luck tomorrow on your test. I will say an extra prayer for you tonight.

Prissy -- Best of luck for ER tomorrow. May you have lots of eggs.

Mitzy -- What is your test date? You & I are on 2ww together. How are you holding up?

Sammy -- Good luck with ET!! I will say a prayer for you also!!

Tanya -- Welcome and good luck with your first cycle. I did IVF/ICSI also. Best of luck to you.

And good luck to everyone else out there. Hope everyone is hanging in there. Sounds like lots of you will be starting meds soon if not already. It isn't lots of fun, but keep your eye on the prize. One little poke is nothing when it comes to a lifetime of love & laughter with your little one. Someone asked about shots in the tummy vs. behind. My Dr. never recommended tummy. I did all subQ in the side of my thighs and any IM shots in the behind. But this cycle I did not have any IM shots. I was able to choose all subQ meds. Hope this helps.

Hey Brenda! You will get an extra prayer from me tonight. Try to relax. I know 2ww will be dreadful but just keep positive thoughts.
