Hi guys Have been staying at my in-laws the last couple of nights, which is nearer dh's hospital. He was due to come out today but they have kept him in becuase his blood results weren't quite back to normal; hopefully he'll be let out tomorrow morning. Got quite tired toay driving back and forth plus have a headache which is probably due to the fact that AF has still not arrived!!! It looks like the early stages but then nothing happens. Being doing this for four days now. Tried a jog and a hot bath this morning, but no luck. Might try another hot bath tonight!! Maybe it's the stress of the past couple of days, who knows, but you're so right Bel, when you want it to come it never does - like waiting for a phone to ring!! kathryn - sorry to hear your dh has also got tummy problems - hope he is better v soon. kathryn, alisonb, Kate, bel and alypraying - good luck with 2ww. can't believe you're already testing on Saturday, kathryn!! v.exciting. OCB's here we go traci, lisa-c, dolly, lisa-p - hopefully we'll be on 2ww together (if I ever get there!!!) love to all . beckym xxxx

hello gang mad weekend, but a good one. went out with friends for steves 35th birthday! they were all amused by the embie phot thats above the fireplace! well guys, last week I was feeling very negative/detatched about this cycle, feeling it hadnt worked, but the last few days Ive been feeling (dare I say) mildly nauseas. I was putting it down to worrying i was going to get steves bug, but could it be a sign? OR is it my nerves, as im so scared of it being negative again. Only thing is, its been at night, and going from my past record, Im a morning sickness person, except my twin pg which was all day. Now Im worried Ive built it up and Im probably heading for a huge fall. AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH why is it so impossible to relax on this 2ww! Why do we analyze every little feeling! they do say that in your NORMAL concieving pregnancy, you wont get any signs until after youve missed your first period. Why dont I listen to this!!!!! this 2ww sp screws up your head! kate, aly alison and bel, how are you coping? traci, has your cousin got going with the jabbing yet? hows she getting on? becky, hope your dh and af will arrive home today! the lisa twins!and vicki, not long and you will be having your baselines! hope they go well this week, and then youll be jabbing yes? vicki, hope youre feeling better. gem, lots of hot baths for you.....induce af! lorrain and loupy, youll be laying eggs this time next week! how are you dolly? did you read, dawn wants are pg butts over on the other side! grace, how are the follies? have you a date for ec? wow thats everyone ( I hope!)except frances and gayla! how are you pair, have you got dates for ec? sorry for the essay! lots of love kathryn x

Hi guys Well af arrived this morning with a vengeance - hot water bottles at dawn! That hot bath did the trick I think plus loads of positive thinking on the lines of ..come on!!! Unfortunately, no dh still though, they are still keeping him in although he is feeling fine and is eating downstairs in the staff restaurant every day now cos the hospital food is so bad!! They say they want to do a CAT scan on him to look at his pancreas as they think it is still inflamed. At this rate he won't be out before ec (at which his prescence is rather critical, methinks)!! He and his mates on the ward rigged up TV plus speakers to watch the football and the rugby over the weekend. bless. they're not having such a bad time, except one of them isn't allowed to eat and keeps looking longingly at my dh's supper. hope everyone's having a good day. i'm off to the hospital now. beckym xxx

Hi Becky Hope DH is feeling better sounds like he's not doing too bad! great that AF has finally arrived. katheryn and Alison I know how you feel this 2WW IS a bit of a mind game. Not long now I have a good feeling about both of you. Feeling lots more positive than I did with the ivf not knowing what the embryo quality is like helps I gan make belive that the eggs are all grade 1 and I'll end up with triplets! Only problem with this is come Thursday when implantation should have occurred I'll be going into analyst mode. Guess you all know what it's like, good thing with IUI is you don't have to wait between cycles which is a real help. Anyway hope all the gils jabbing are progressing nicely when do you have your scans?? love and hugs Aly xx

Hi to you all Just to let you know I am still hanging around. Had a bit of a jittery old day today...don't quite know why, no particular reason, perhaps am just going madder as the days are going on!!. I just get quite worked up about every scan and have all these impossibly horrible scenario's in my head before hand. Is anyone else as mad as I?????? Feeling calmer this evening though. All is going well, so far so good. Follicles growing and getting a "nice" womb lining etc. Hopefully ready for ec on Friday. I have had two scans now and back for another and bloods on Wed to check that it will be okay. Won't go through everyone's cycle because I think I am becoming brain dead and will probably mix it all up. Have to go into work tomorrow though and pretned I am normal!! Thinking of you all, love Gracexxx

Fellow OCB hellloooooooooo! Hope you all had a good weekend, we had a weekend away though it was hard to explain why I wasn't drinking, as I'm normally one of the first ones to the bar! Oh well, it's my baseline on Wednesday - as it's my first treatment I really don't know what to expect. As long as they tell me everything is going to plan I don't mind though the prospect of injecting doesn't thrill me, especially as I'm going to be letting my dh to do the deed. When do they suugest is the best time to inject? we're hoping to do morning, not sure if that's going to be a problem. Aly, Kate, ALison and Bel - hope you're all coping well with your 2ww, we're all counting on you to begin the OCB +ivessssssssss Beckym, glad your af arrived and you're now ready to begin. Hope you are all well and a big thank you to those that have typed the lists so that those of us, like me, who get 'lost' with it all can keep a tab on things - much appreciated, thanks

I'll let you know the outcome of my baseline Take care everyone! Lisa x x

Hi all Just a quickie to let you all know that I am still here keeping an eye on you all! Still stabbing away, getting a little bruised now and have been having slight stabbing pains in both ovaries today (at least I think thats what it is, could be the large packet of maltesers!) My scan is 3.45 on Friday, will post when I get home to let you all know the day of EC!! Love to all Lorraine G

Hello Everybody Hope everyone is keeping up the positive thinking. I've just had a hot bath so hopefully this will start af to come,I keep having some stomach ache so it should be just round the corner I've never wanted her to come so much. When do they say the embryos implant? I've asked for the 1st week off work to rest and make sure they implant! as last time I went back to work on the monday when the et was on the Sat,work are being really understanding and letting me have as much time off that I need,I work at a special needs school as a nursery nurse so only have 2weeks til half term-cant wait. To everyone whos on the 2week hope you all get ++++,Kathryn and Alison it sounds ++++++ already. Becky-hope your dh comes out so bet its awful travelling there and back,glad your af arrived I'm waiting for mine shes due any day from now. Well speak to you all soon Love Gem xxx

Kate W · Post by **Kate W** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 10:38 pm

Hi everyone I have been in hiding a bit over thge last few days. Sorry about that. Kathryn - that is fantastic how you have listed everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. There are lots of positive vibes coming through in the posts. Today is exactly one week before i test. I test on the 21/10 although the clinic have said that if it doesn't work I should expect AF to arrive on 17/10. Does that sound normal to everyone else or do you normally test at time you expect AF to arrive? I thought you could do hpts on the day your af was due. Isn't 2ww tortuous?? I am inserting crinone gel every night (not pessaries just squirting the cream inside - sorry for being so graphic!!) and it has made my boobs so enormous I can barely do my shirts up over the top of them! I have also been feeling a bit (just a weeny bit) nauseous but when I looked at the side effects of the crinone and discussed it with my friend who has just had a baby it sounds like they have all the same side effects of early pregnancy. How cruel is that? Looks like to only thing to do is wait. Becky - I hope your dh is out of hospital soon. everyone is so busy! good luck to everyone - i am sending lots of PMA. Love Kate

BelB · Post by **BelB** » Tue Oct 14, 2003 6:57 am

Hey OCB gals, Completely relate to the madness of the 2ww..I'm like Kate, officially at the half way point today, I test on the 21st..Also seemed wierd to me that you don't test on the day that AF is due, but 14 days after embryo transfer; guess though by then AF will be three days late and the test is more accurate??? We're doing HcG injections in my bum on a natural FET cycle, evidently you don't use the lovely sounding pessaries as part of this process. Dh did one for me on Saturday and was playing golf this morning so one of the nurses at the hospital I work in gave me the other this morning. My good friend who is on an IVF cycle is using the cream as well, sounds truly delightful! Am going completely bonkers, get concerned that I had no implantation spotting, but the clinic assures me that it is neither here nor there, and no indication of the ultimate outcome. Have also been feeling tired, emotional and a bit sick in the tumm at times, so who knows, am working really hard at PMA!!! To my fellow 2ww'ers, looking forward to all of our positives All the best to all of the OCB gals! B
