Hi Everyone, Thought I'd start yet another thread as I haven't logged on for a week now and have lost track of all the threads! Well I'm back after EC and ET. EC on 26th was a nightmare. They gave me pethidine and said it should work in a few minutes - yeah right! Apparently, they told DH that they had to give me 4 times as much as they normally give at ECs cos I was in so much pain - it all goes a bit hazzy for me then, but I certainly remember the pain - every 24 needle pricking bit of it!!! They collected 24 follies, 12 of which were actual eggs. They called on Wednesday and said that 9 had fertilised over night and so I went in on Thursday for ET. They put two 4 cell eggs back which were a grade 2 and a 2 1/2 and gave me a piccie which I have by the side of my bed - sad or wot?! Unfortunately, they said the rest of the eggs weren't good enough for freezing, so if this doesn't work, then we'll have to go for a full IVF cycle again next time - at that point, I'm going to ask for a general at EC rather than sedation again!!!!!! I've been really good and have been doing as I'm told for once in my life (hence why I haven't logged on for a while). I've had my feet up since EC and have only ventured up to the office today. I've had bad period pains and really sore boobs, but they said this was really normal - I hope so! I'm testing on Thursday 11th September - let's hope 2 years on from that sad, tragic day in 2001, something positive might happen for me in 2003. To those who tested negative, I am so sorry - my thoughts are with you all and I hope that with time, you can look to the future and try and feel some of that PMA that all of us ACBs felt after such outstanding JCB results. Huge congratulations to everybody who has tested positive this month - you really have given me so much hope and PMA - thank you. Im keeping everything crossed for all those on the dreaded 2WW - I'm only 4 days into the 2WW and it's dragging already! Can I just check, Fi - are you testing on 8th September? Marteen, when are you testing? I've e-mailed you this afternoon now that I'm back on-line! Apologies if I've missed anybody out. Loads of love to all and thank you for your lovely msgs of support and positive vibes, Jo xx

Hiya Just wanted to say hello. I am currently on Day 4 of 2ww and it is pure torture. This is my 2nd ICSI, and had 2 embies at Grade 2 and 3 transferred on Saturday. I keep thinking I should be feeling something by now. Just got leg ache??? and bloated stomach? Probably like it all the time, and just dont take any notice of it! Good Luck all Karen

Hi everyone Thought I would just pop in to see good luck with your 2ww. It's a killer, but try and keep occupied if you can, it will make it go faster. Fi - I've posted you a message on your own thread - so have a look, plenty of gentle butt kicking going on! (and lots's of threats of birch twigs!) Jo, Marteen, Karen hang on in there. Much love Helen. xxx
