Tony - I have read your story and what happened to you and your dw. You have been so brave and supportive of your dw through all of this. Welcome to the thread. I hope that we will all be able to offer support.
Jaby - welcome. Hope that your 7 embies are doing well. Good Luck for ET on Wednesday
Macca/Lisa - your holiday sounds fab. I could do with some sun right now. Too wet & cold in the UK! Wish I could come too!! It will give you something to look forward to after the winter and tmt
Sonya - sorry that you had a rough man. Some of them just don;t have a clue. Good luck for today - hope that you get a dr who is more gentle and understanding. I know that it can be frustrating but it is all about growth high quality follies so steady as she goes
Christine - hope that dh is fully recovered now
Vickie and Babyblue - hope that all goes well for your np meetings tomorrow
Bec - Hang in there hun. Good luck for and u/s tomorrow so I shall be looking out for news. If you can feel it already then all must be happening for you
Haylie - cannot believe that someone else watched the repeat show of XFactor. Dh was like what the hell r u doing watching it again! I have no idea what I'll do at the end of it..........
Welshgirl - Hope that your new job is going well. You certainly will brighten up the office. I am not as sure as you. Have a fancy that young girls who were voting for McDs might switch to Ray and if Ben doesn't do something special it might be Leona vs Ray in the final. How much would Simon love that!!! Nearly wet myself with excitement on Saturday (rather like ET
!!!!!) so goodness knows what I'll be like this week!!!Shantala - fingers crossed that all is well for dh's assessment. We all tend to be a bit up & down as you wait and then during tmt especially with the drugs. Some days I am like of course it will work & other days like how can I possibly believe that I'll beat the odds and it will happen for me. Sorry but it is part of the deal hun!!!
Aunty - I lived in NY and so loved the shopping. Wish I could come with you. So hoping that AF will behave and not mess you around with dates/holiday close down. You just don't need. If I get even a faint line I shall collapse and need resuscitation before I can tell dh let alone you ladies.
Susan - Hope that you had a good time up in Scotland. Cannot believe that the McDs were front page news. That is so funny! Please don't give up the PMA. You are so close now hun. We all know that it is never ever over until the fat lady sings & that you really cannot tell. The last couple of days are always the most stressful when you figure that it cannot possibly have worked. Your testing has come around so quickly although sure that it does not feel like that for you hun. I like you am going to test at home as cannot face getting the news when my dh is not with me. Calling him last time, even when I was already bleeding, after the clinic called, killed me. However, I should not be encouraging you with the HPTs - we all know that they are evil!
I am crossing everything that you are going to be the first BFP for this thread. Do let us know if you test tomorrow. I don't tell my dh either - he would go mad and tell me to wait!Angie - I am thinking of testing Saturday too. That will be 9 days after a 2 day transfer for me. May be we should have a pact to test together....what do you think. I am going loopey too already
I am not sure whether I feel everything or nothing at all. My nipples (sorry) are quite sore but pretty certain that happened last time with the progesterone. I wretched this morning & thought that I was going to be sick (wasn't) but that could just be as I took my antibiotic (they have me on it for a week post EC to reduce risk of infection) without food. Or could be the fact that dh and I treated ourselves to a Chinese take away last night. Who the hell knows? Would love to be as sick as a dog if I thought that it was a good sign!!!
Dh dropped me into town today and trying to do a little work although blimin hard to concentrate. Goodness only knows what I'll be like by next Monday. ARRRGGGGGHHHH
Love to you all.
Carolyn xxxx
i must confess that i watched the repeat, too!

to you i am very sorry for your loss ... its great to have you here with us.. i also do assisted hatching had it last time on all of my embies (D3T) it was cool you could see the little hole in the shell on the pic they gave us of our little ones i had a mad moment and thought they could fall out early so got all worried about it hurting them but my embysitter assured me that they only come out once they are big enough to push open the shell and the little hole she made just makes it easier for them so we will be doing it again this time
