Well, I did the test at 7.15am this morning and ............ it was POSITIVE! Paul and I just looked at it and couldn't believe our eyes!<br><br>The positive line came up straight away (it was one of the clear blue tests with the cross), before the negative line even appeared - it was dark blue!<br><br>Happy isn't the word - we're just absolutely stunned, overwhelmed, excited - all rolled into one!<br><br>I spoke to the Clinic and I have my first scan on Tuesday 30th September at 3.00pm. They also gave me an EDD of 21st May 2004 - that seemed scary hearing that and they also said that I'm officially 4 weeks pregnant today, which seems really weird as ET was only two weeks ago!!!<br><br>It's taken me until now to post cos it hasn't sunk in at all yet and I honestly didn't think that I'd be posting this kind of message after my first IVF cycle!<br><br>Thank you so much for all your kind words and support throughout the past few months. When I think back to the first day that I logged onto this site, I was in a dreadful state - I had never felt so low in all my life. I know that I couldn't have got through it, let alone felt so positive without all of you so a huge BIG thank you from Paul and I.<br><br>Can I officially join the ACB positives now??!!<br><br>Loads of love and positive vibes to everybody else,<br><br>Jo & Paul<br>xxxxxxxxxxxx
Jo<br><br>I knew you could do it. AM really pleased for youu both<br><br>Am just off in a minute for FET(really pleased as they thawed 3 & 2 good ones to go in so still have 6 in freezer if god forbid it does not work)<br><br>Bet your nephews were really excited...Did they get up early too??<br><br>Take care & hope to join you soon<br><br>Sarah <br>xx
