HI Girls,<br><br>My name is Chrissy and I have just done my 1st ivf cycle and would really appreciate some advice. I test in two days time but I don't think it has worked because I have got lower back pain which I have had now for the past week and also have got some funny feeling around my ovaries so I think the af is on its way so I don't know if I'll even get to the test. Has anyone had these types of pains and still got a positive? <br><br>Would really appreciate some advice girls.<br><br>Luv<br>Chrissy<br>x

Hi Chrissy,<br>Absolutely! Just read some of the posts going back a while. Lower back pain is quite common - infact, many (including myself) have had the same symtoms as their period. There's so much going on with your body at the moment so I wouldn't worry too much. It's only natural to feel like this at this stage and regardless of how you feel, the hospital will still do your test. Remember though, if you are testing yourself, the home tests sometimes don't pick up the results immediately. Just think of the feelings as your body preparing for the great things that are to happen :-)<br>Good luck in a couple of days!<br>Zoe x

Chrissy,<br><br>I logged on to ask almost the same question as you. I am due to test on Friday and today feel very wierd. I haven't got the pains in the back, as you have, but I do have the niggling pains around my ovaries, as you seem to have. I also have really sore boobs too. So I can understand how you can convince yourself that the IVF hasn't worked. I am trying not to read into the strange feelings that are going on inside, but it isn't easy is it.<br><br>Try to stay positive and I will keep everything crossed for you for when you test.<br><br>Love<br><br>Donna<br><br>

Chrissy/Donna<br><br>Good luck for your tests this week. Remember AF/PG pains are very similar so it could mean anything. Keep believing and we'll all keep our fingers crossed.<br><br>love nikola.xx
