Hi all! Hope everyone is keeping well. Bertie - try to stay positive. The niggly pains and cramps are normal. I had them last time in my 2nd week and was convinced it was over, but I was pregnant. This 2ww is driving me crazy - wish I was at work (summer hols have their drawbacks!)I had lots of cramps in the first week, now none so despite me saying keep positive to everyone else I don't feel it! I had a shocking cold on Wednesday, so after the day of aches and now that I have resigned myself to the fact that it would be a miracle if it works! I am going to test myself on 21st(day before hospital) so I am prepared. Anyway, take care. Michelle

Hi everyone, Lynne, Bertie, Michelle & Aly - This 2ww is no fun is it?!?!! This Is the worst part as test day draws nearer - the 1st week you are excited and dont expect to 'feel pregnant' but the 2nd week you look for signs and if there aren't any it gets you down. Im really trying to stay positive but its sooo hard. I just feel normal (well!!) Is it still too early for symptoms? I need reassuring! Helen; good luck for your FET on sunday, please try and stay calm this is the bit you've been waiting for! Nic; Im sorry about this months cycle, try and have a nice weekend. Jo; Good news - keep us posted. Fi; How are you getting on sweetie? Any news about E/C on mon? Gilly; Glad your feeling a bit better, I agree with your husband have the clinic said anymore? Hang in there everyone,+++++++++++++++++++++++ Sharon G XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Everyone, Lynne, Bertie, Michelle, Aly & Sharon - Wishing you all loads more good luck on the 2WW - test days will soon be here and I'm keeping everything crossed for lots of positive results. Helen - I'll be thinking of you on Sunday with FET - best of luck and think positive! Fi - Are you having EC on Monday? Fingers crossed for you if you do. Nic - I'm so sorry you've had to postpone your cycle. Let's hope that AF arrives bang on time so that you can get started asap. Gilly - hope you're doing OK. Have you actually booked a holiday yet for October? Hope it's somewhere nice and relaxing, you thoroughly deserve it. Marteen - hope you're OK - I've emailed you so you should receive that. Why is it that the Puregon injections sting so much? Injections don't usually bother me at all, but I absolutely dread 7.00pm coming cos I know it's gonna feel like I've been kicked in the leg by a donkey for the next 30 mins !! Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend and keep up the positive thoughts !!! Loads of love, Jo xx

hi guys, well my saga continues...scan fri showed 1 follie at 18 remaining too small, had bloods done. so no go for ec. then my bloods blew up in blood machine thing, so had to go to london for bloods and scan sat. this showed masses of follies (28, numerous 18s, 17s, 16s......list goes on about 35 in total) no wonder i was a hormonal wreck!?dont know what happened between fri and sat but they had let me take drugs on fri without blood results...anyhow my oestrodial had gone from 5600 to 24,000 in 2 days so ladies no ec for us mon, or when????now waiting for scan tomorrow and coasting til bloods come down. talk about a rocky road. so unbelieveably i have gone the other way and now have OHSS. i am panicking about the state of my eggs since now will be 2wks later ec than planned. amy advice appreciated! we are having to stay away from home too, so that not helping ,i am totally losing the plot!! keeping my eye on the board on all you 2wwers and everyone else but can only post when i can access... oh hum, lifes a bum! love to all, fi

Hi Everyone, Hope all the 2wwer's are doing okay, not long for Bertie, Sharon and Michelle, I still have a week to go. Thinking of you all, has the day suddenly added another 24hr because it feels like 2 weeks ago I had E/T. Aly - How are you doing, your like me got another week to wait. Helen - Hope everything went well with FET today, got my fingers crossed for you. Fi - what a time your having, a little confusing are the hospital saying that all these follies grow within 2 days or did they make a mistake with your previous scans. What happens next? are you still injecting? Hope you scan tomorrow goes okay will be thinking of you. Gilly and Nicola - Hope you are both doing okay, it must be hard at the moment. Big Hugs!!! Jo - Hope your coping with the injections, not long now. Good luck everyone and let's keep those positive vibes going.

Hi everyone, Bertie; not long now, how you feeling. You test on Tuesday dont you? Keeping everything crossed for you - I think those pains you had are a good sign!! Keep us posted Im expecting to see some good news from you on Tuesday. X Lynne; How you doing? When do you test again?? Michelle and Aly; Hope you are both doing ok, hope you've both had a nice weekend doing nice things to try and take your mind off thing! Fi; You must not know if your coming or going, like Lynne said was there a mistake with your scans or did they just grow overnight? Hope you get some good news at your scan tomorrow, hopefully you will be on here tomorrow telling us when your e/c date is!! Helen; Hope your FET went ok today, welcome to the 2ww!! Jo; injections - poor you. Gilly and Nicola; Hang in there both of you, did you both have a good weekend (with lots of wine and chocolate?) I still feel very normal no pains or symptoms, so I am preparing myself for another negative on wednesday ( I know I shouldn't say that and that I have to stay positive but it is so very hard) I feel at the end of my tether is it ever going to work??? Anyway I hope everyone else on their 2ww is not thinking like me - Wishing you all lots of luck this week!!!! Take care Sharon G XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi All Hope your doing OK this 2WW is a bugger but only a week to go. I've started cramping and have sore boobs but that could well be the drugs also when I caught previously I kept falling asleep and had such sore boobs I couldn't sleep properly so I'm not sure what to think st the moment. Don't know how you lot feel but every twinge and cramp is analised!(previously had a miscarriage at 5 weeks) Good luck for next week to Sharon, Bertie and Michelle. Lynne testing the same day as you but will probably do a test on Sunday I'm not overly confident and have decided not to go to the clinic. Fi you must be going through hell Do they have any idea when they will do E/C? Helen and Jo all the best and hope everything goes well and Nic I'm sure AF will come soon and you can start to plan, my fingers are crossed for you. Love to all of you and big hugs Aly x

Fi Good God girl - you're going through it at the mo! I've been wondering how you were but didn't think for a moment you'd be going through this. It's just amazing what the body is capable of! I hope your tests, etc go well tomorrow. Keep us posted. Thinking of you. LOL Helen xx

Best Wishes to you all Gill xxx p.s Booked holiday to Las Vegas - hopefully my luck will change while we're there and I'll win a fortune!!!

Hi Buddies Thanks so much for all your kind messages - you are all sweeties. Well, we have had 2 put back! We had 3 to defrsot and 2 survived which is good! We have had a 2 cell put back - which was a 2 cell when it was frozen and a 1 cell put back which was a 3 cell when it was frozen, but the embryologist said that others had got pg before with embies like these, so I am staying really +ive! Felt a bit crampy yesterday and start pessaries tonight, so no doubt the hormones will be all over the place! WE test on 29 August, so here's hoping! How are all the rest of you doing? What about all your girls on 2ww - Sharon, Bertie, Michelle, Lynne, Aly? Fi - what's the latest honey? Any good progress for you to report? My follies tend to take longer to mature and I don't think it affects the quality in any way - although I know you have some big ones already. Just keep thinking +ive, here for you if you want to scream, rant, cry, just let me know. Nic - how nice of you to post after what has happened. I think that Af can be thrown off course by all the drugs, just when you want it to arrive - it doesn't! Hang on in there and it will happen, here's hoping for a good natural cycle for you next time. Jo - close your eyes and think of good stuff when you do the injections - poor pumpkin, I can remember what they were like. MY DH always tried to take my mind off it and I ended up giggling and wobbling and so had loads of tiny bruises everywhere! Keep chilled everyone, speak soon, much love and big hugs Helen. xxxx

Hiya everyone. Well its d-day 2mrw. This has been my first 2ww as last ivf was abandoned. When it started I was really calm but now its nearly over I think I could commit murder!! I have a pg tester in the bathroom but I am adamant that I am not using it. We have to go for blood test in morning and ring them after 3.00pm. 2mrw is going to be the longest day. Michelle - are you testing Wed? Lynne/Aly - are you testing Monday? Helen - glad your FET went ok. Sharon - good luck for Wednesday. Fi - Hope you get your e/c date. Gilly - Enjoy your break away and I wish I was going to Las Vegas with you. When are you going? I wanted to go there when we had our honeymoon but dh wouldnt trust me with all those casinos and slot machines.... Dont know why?!?! Sorry if I've missed anyone. Good luck to everyone. luv Bertie x

fi · Post by fi » Mon Aug 18, 2003 5:27 pm

wow girlies its getting very busy on this strand!! Bertie - i wish you all the best for tomorrow, niggly pains are good ask the positive girls!! Gilly - glad you have managed to get away (if you read this in Lvegas!!??) helen, thats great about having two put back....hope the 29th comes round quick for you. well our saga continues, i had the worst weekend of my life with the bloatedness, crampy pains, nausea, and disappointment of this whole cycle! today scan showed some large follies dropping off (too big and they wont get an egg) and some follies coming up so we should have some left if we ever get to ec. my blood results though are still too high, although they didn't give us a value. over 13,000 is the limit, so tomorrow more bloods and another scan and just trying to hang in there. think if they drop off tomorrow we may be ok for thurs ec. we are at home now anyway so thats better, and can check my emails and chat to you girlies!! love to all, lots of PMA hey!!!! luv fi

Hi Everyone, Hope you all had a great weekend. Bertie - just wanted to wish you loads and loads of luck and positive vibes for tomorrow. You've got so much willpower by not doing your home test - I hope I will be that brave!! I've got everything crossed for you and will be waiting for your posting tomorrow afternoon. 2WWs, hope you're not pulling your hair out too much! Can I just check that I've got everybody's testing dates correct:- Bertie - Tuesday 19th August Michelle / Sharon - Wednesday 20th August Lynne / Aly - Monday 25th August Helen - Friday 29th August Hope that's everyone who's already got their test dates. Fi - What an absolutely awful time you're having! Your cycle's gone from one extreme to the other, I'm so sorry. Try and keep positive, although I bet you feel so frustrated with all the mixed messages you've been getting. Gilly - Have a wonderful relaxing break, you deserve it. Nic - Hope you're doing OK and hope that AF arrives soon for you. Marteen - Hope you're OK - I've emailed you back! Hope I haven't missed anybody - apologies if I have. Loads of love and +++++++++++++++ to everyone, Jo xx
