Hi Everyone. I got a ++++ive, I'm pregnant!!! <br><br>Thanks so much to all of you for helping me get through this 2WW. You are great girls and have been an added pleasure to this whole experience. Now I can't wait until the 25th to hear more great news. <br><br>I do want to say that you just don't know until you know. I had myself convinced a hundred times that I was pregnant, then not pregnant, then pregnant.... My boobs would be sore, then not sore, then sore again. I would have cramps, then no cramps, then cramps again...and on and on. You just never know, so stay POSITIVE!<br><br>Well, I have to go, tons of phone calls to make.<br><br>Thanks again to everyone!<br>Val<br><br><br>
Well I must say you lot have been busy! I have been at work all day and what do I come back to, a few thousand new posts (mostly mad) and a positive sneaked in at the end of the thread!!!! Val I am so pleased for you, you must be over the moon, send some positive vibes over the ocean to us Brits...<br>Lesley don't worry about your number of follicles - I had 8 and not all of them were big enough and got 4 eggs, 3 fertilised and 2 put back.<br>Sarah, my similarities with Kat Slater are (unfortunately?) not restricted to the boob department although I am a little less common! Actually it's a pity we can't put pictures on here and then we could see what each other looks like - I bet we all look completely different from what we have imagined...<br>Is anyone else having really strange dreams? I reckon it's the pessaries doing it. Mine last night was that my cat found some tiny baby hedgehogs and gave them to me and then I couldn't go into the hotel reception because there were lions out there. And I thought I was the sane one round here.<br>Anyway, talking of Eastenders, time to make some tea before it starts...<br>Lots of love<br>Kat xx<br>

Kat -your going mad-your turning into Nikola!! (only joking Nikola-I think!)<br><br>Lesley-fingers crossed for thursday, like the others say, it only takes 1, it does not matter how many you produce as long as you get 1 good one.....<br><br>Am I weird? Its wonderful all these positives popping up but I have started getting AF pains again & starting to feel negative again..Im just realistically thinking, surly this run of ++Ve is gonna run out at some stage, totally bollocks as if I had not found this site then I would not be thinking this. I think it must be because test day is looming & then its either over or its not, at least now its not over....<br><br>Will try & get some PMA back for tomorrow or Nikola will be telling me off.<br><br>Take care everyone<br>Sarah <br>xx

morning all<br><br>I'm still happy from Vals great news yesterday!<br><br>Jackie - so pleased you do sleep, but you were still at your computer at 11.30pm on a school day!!! That is still the middle of the night for me, especially the day before EC. I'm thinking of you right now and hope they are finding lots of juicy eggs.<br><br>Kat - I wish you would hurry up and marry Alfie! You know its worrying when sarah says you are as mad as me! I'd be deeply hurt by that if I was you!! <br><br>Lesley - how was the big one? You should rest as much as possible today ready for EC tomorrow. Keep drinking lots of water!!<br><br>Karen - how are you doing? Excited about tomorrow? I think its just you and me now tomorrow, July Ann and Sarah are holding off until tomorrow!!<br><br>How are you today July Ann? Have you tested? If you go quiet on us we'll think you have been a naughty girl! I know Wednesday is the day you were going to test.....don't!<br><br>Wibbs - I hope you haven't turned into July Ann too. Do you test Friday?<br><br>Its getting so exciting with everyone testing in the next few days!<br><br>Good luck to us ALL!!<br><br>love nikola.xxx
hi girls<br><br>sorry but i have tested and it was negative, just as I thought. Feel ok just glad to get it over. The clinic phoned me about something and I told her I had tested and what one I had used and she said you know your own body. I still have to go in as the test I had done last week were high. do not know what thats about but will find out on friday.<br><br>well sorry that i have tested, but wanted to get it over and would like to thank you all for your help.<br><br>well done to all those who have got positives and I really hope you get some more..<br><br>it was not my turn, will try again <br><br>from july ann
been in tmt for 4 years.Male factor. Have had 3 icsi, one ivf with donor sperm.Went for fet with 7 eggs but none made it to blastocyst. just had 5 DI. test date 27 july
July ann - I'm so sorry, I truly am. <br><br>Are the clinic still going to do a blood test? It is possible for the hpt to be inaccurate. My clinic told me they had a patient who tested using a hpt and it was negative and they made her do a blood test which showed she was pg, she stil didn't believe the hospital went home and did another hpt which still showed a -ve. She now has twins! It can happen.<br><br>See what happens on Friday before you give up all hope. Thinking of you and your dh!<br><br>lots of love<br>nikola.xxx
Oh July ANn, I am so sorry but please dont give up hope....<br><br>You have tested early, I read ages ago on Bubbly Michelles thread that she tested early & was really disappointed but she then tested on proper day and I think she is now about 22 weeks pregnant...<br><br>I dont understand your clinics comment about you know your own body?? this does not make sense because our bodies are not our own at the moment due to all the drugs. <br><br>I really hope the hpt is wrong......but if it is not then please do not give up hope, spend some precious time with your husband & get ready to fight again!! Your time will come<br><br>Keep us posted if you are up to it<br><br>Thinking of you<br>Sarah <br>xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi All,<br><br>First of all congratulations to Gail and Val. You must both be so excited. +ve results certainly make me feel better. It will work for all of us someday.<br><br>July Ann, I'm sorry for your result, but do remember what has been said about HPT's and blood tests. Whatever you do keep taking your medication until you have had your blood test results.<br><br>I am feeling not too bad today. Boobs sometimes hurt sometimes don't. It seems to be a gravity thing as they hurt more when I am up and about and less when I lay down. Have had a bit of backache and feel "full" in my abdomen, but have had all of this before so am trying not to read anything into it!!<br><br>Anyway, off to drink some more water!!<br><br>Love<br><br>Karen<br>xx<br><br>
Me 33 DH 34

hi karen<br><br>My 'symptoms' are exactly the same as yours. I know what you mean about the full abdomen, I'm convinced that is because I'm drinking so much water. Much more than last time. <br><br>The only thing that really makes me a little bit hopeful that it might be +ve is that I haven't had a single craving for chocolate and normally just before af I would kill someone (not literally!) for a bit of choccie. This could of course because I've eaten too many Percy Pigs!<br><br>I'm bored of waiting, I just want to be put out of my misery and know one way or the other. If its positive you'll hear my scream across the world! If its not, then I'll just do it again, I'm quite prepared for that. In fact I'm more prepared for a -ve than I am for a +ve. Its easier I guess.<br><br>What time are you testing tomorrow? Do you have to do blood or hpt? Are you excited??<br><br>Off to get more water too.<br><br>love nikola.xx
