You are funny Thats the sort of thing I would do well done ! :)<br><br>I am Jabbing for downregging and then I have a scan on day 1 which will be over the weekend who knows what happens after that I seem to be the only donor eggy person on here!!! My cousin starts on sunday downregging but I gave her my sniffer as I thought it would be cruel to make her jab all the way through!<br><br>Trace x

Well done Kathryn that is sooo handy. Happy birthday for dh tomorrow.<br><br>Beckym, hope your dh is feeling better, why does everything always happen at once! Hope the travelling isn't getting you down.<br><br>Can't remember who asked about work but I work full time and as most of you know I started a new job a week after down regging!!! Finding it quite brain taxing and busy, although it helps me to think of something else during the day. If I get that far I have decided to stay at work during the 2ww, last time the Dr signed me off on the sick, although some of you may remember I pulled ligaments in my neck during ec (not very nice although a good thing to put on my sick note and didn't raise any nosey questions!!)<br><br>Lisa we are just 1 day apart and Vicki 2 days, hope you are okay.<br>Aly hope today went well, how are you??<br><br>Traci I think we hear so many things we should/should not do or use. If we listened to them all we would all stay in bed for 6 weeks drinking water, not getting washed - using deodrant or eating etc. I think we still need to live our life in moderation.<br><br>Rang the clinic about the bleed and they said it was normal, thankfully. <br><br>Will have a house full tomorrow for the football so off for an early night.<br>Have a fab weekend<br><br>xxxxxXXXXxxxxx +++++++++++++ to you all<br>Lisa

Well hello there!<br>Thanks so much to Traci for your mamoth summary effort, a great job!<br>I test on the 21st, so we have everything crossed of course. Dh did my hcg injection this morning in my butt, very painful those jabs, think the neighbours thought I was dying (you girls may have heard me in the UK, I am prone to just a bit of drama at times!). This 2ww is pretty suckful really, I feel so normal, I feel like I should feel different somehow, I came through the ec so awfully, that it's quite odd to feel unscathed by the whole thing. I am paranoid though of the embies falling out, I know that's dumb, we have a two storey house, and every time I trot up and down the stairs I'm convinced these tiny little things have fallen into my undies (am I cracking up??).<br>Well girls, keep up those positive pregnancy vibes, we are going to have lots of positives, (I just know it!!)<br>To my fellow FET girls, Kathryn, Alison, Gem, and Kate, glad that you're all going well, I always look forward to hearing your news. Kathryn, hope you're dh is OK.<br>To Aly, have you had the iui?<br>Becky, has AF arrived as yet?, (isn't it frustrating, when you're ttc naturally you cry every time she arrivesm when you want her to come, she takes her own time thank you very much!)<br>Dolly, Is your ec on 3/11?<br>Frances - any baseline news yet?<br>Grace, have you had your scan as yet?, how did it go?<br>Gayla, Lorraine, Lou and Traci, love that jabbing, do you jab yourself, or does dh do the honours?<br>Kathryn, Vicki and Lisa ch, how are you coping with your waiting for baslines? (waiting is sooooo hard!)<br>(At the risk of sounding like a complete loser, what is PMA?)<br>Belinda<br>

Hi all<br><br>Bel PMA is positive Mental Attitude, something we should all have but find hard to keep sometimes!!!<br><br>Do many of you ask dh to jab? I always do mine myself I can't imagine somebody else doing it, I think I would be so jumpy and probably end up with a tummy even more yellow!!<br><br>Anyway, so sad I have brought work home and seem to be doing anything else but that! must get started on it.<br><br>Enjoy the weekend.<br>Love Lisa xXx

Ahhh!!, I was thinking it might be "pregant maternal attitude" (which is also fine I guess!), thanks for the clarification.<br>Dh did my injections, was a good thing for us, the blokes are all a bit left out I think, in this way he contributed to the process, and felt more involved I think..I used to just choose the spot, swab with the wipe, then pinch my skin so he could jab away..Once we needed to pull over from the highway to give an injection at a railway station (had to be done at 7am), looking back now was quite funny, but we were quite concerned about passing motorists!<br>Have a great week all<br>Lots of PMA to all (I even know what this means now!!)<br>Belinda

I am on day 25 and normally have af on day 23 ; I have started downregging with 0.5 burslin injection, should I be late cause of the downregging? I remember last time I sniffed syneral and I had af on day 28 both times but then my af's used to be 26-28 days , confused !!!! I have to ring the clinic when af is here, apart from feeling light headed and mellow kinda premenstral its going ok. Cameron is doing the injections as I cant face putting the needle in!!!<br><br>Hope everyone is ok<br>Trace x

Hi Trace<br>Just wanted to say I'm normally a 28 day grl and when I was downregging I didn't have AF until day 31 so it is quite 'normal to be late' also I felt extremely hormonal, light headed and tearful. Try and get through it as best you can AF will be here soon and you will feel better. Hope that helps.<br>To all the rest hope you had a good weekend I'm chilling watching the rugby, trying not to read anything into every twinge but it's hard. having had the M/C I'm more aware of what I felt like when I was pregnant now I analise everything. Anyway take care everyone Kathryn not long now!!<br>big hugs<br>Aly<br>x
