Ahhhh aunty, you always do know just what to say. I felt like i was hanging in there all right... but your post had a calming effect on me. And for that, i thank you... just leaving for the evening and now excited to just enjoy myself and hold on to the idea that this neg HPT doesn't actually MEAN anything. And, you are right... miniSass clearly runs by her own schedule, doesn't she? So i suppose i need to give her a chance to have picked her spot and settle in. Glad to hear, though, that i am not the only one that finds the hpts to be helpful in cushioning the "bfn fall". But, you are right... a day or two too soon :wink: . here's hoping for a better result soon! Thanks!

ciao!

Hi Just wanted say hello to my fellow sniffing pal Shantala - hope you are feeling OK. I'm feeling pretty normal with my sniffing I must say. Worst day was the first day for me - but I think it was coz I sniffed twice. (overdose - oopps!)

Have you got the hang of it ? -it's not too bad is it?

Did feel a bit grumpy yesterday but that is coz DH and are househunting and that's enough to put anyone in a bad mood!

Hi to everyone else - it's Sunday PM here and I have SO many chores to do - have been very lazy recently but today I am going to go for it!

Hello, Ladies.

Vickie:
I know there are no words to comfort you right now. You are in my prayers and I'll be watching for the results of your blood test.

Charlie: I take two suppository tablets at night. Feel free to PM me.

Aunty: That darn sneaky right ovary! This is not the time for hide-n-seek, Miss Ovie. Keep your butt in view!! Aunty, I'm glad doc gave you the extra day to let those other follies catch up. I'm sure you'll get a good amount of mature eggies.

hopeful:
great news on your HPT. I'll be waiting for that BFP confirmation in a couple days.

Emma: I know those two babies are settling in nice and tight. Hope your 2WW speeds by!

Cinny: I'm so sorry to hear your levels are still rising. They are not talking about cancelling your cycle are they? Hopefully they can get this under control. How long have you been stimming? Keep us posted.

Sassy: I don't know what's too early to do a HPT, but I'm hoping Aunty is correct and you've tested too early. I know its hard, but you only have a couple days left b4 your blood test, right? You've waited this long, you can endure 2 more days to get the legitimate result so you don't drive yourself crazy in the meantime. ((((HUGS))))

Hello me again on Sunday evening - have been good and done my chores. Aunty trigger must be soon for you? I was getting worried that you may have to do EC on your birthday which I do believe is coming up soon...? May be you don't want to be reminded of that ? I'm sure I don't of mine in March! Anyway - hope follies still blooming - keep me posted.

Sorry guys - this time difference makes it near impossible to keep up with everyone else but I am reading you all and thinking of everyone (and dreaming of some you too, believe it or not!!)

Hi Ladies,

Shantala, your poor dh do you think this is connected to how poorly he was with kidney stones? i hope he is feeling much better soon, also take care of yourself at this time. Please don't feel guilty about the list. I hope all goes well with the op. take care.

Sassy, thanks yes i have a slight delay, i am ready and could have had tfansfer Monday, but as its a consultant that does it his first available slot is wednesday, i expected tuesday, but even a day drives you crazy. I hope your not going too crazy not long now i hate the evil HPT never nice to me either. I have everything crossed for you good luck, you deserve it.

Hopeful, let us know when your results confirm the bfp.

aunty, hope all goes well today, follies sound great numbers, hope you can trigger tonight. How far away is your clinic? i thought i was bad with 11/2 hrs travelling each way without traffic.

Vicky, i am so sorry, something obviousley did happen, maybe implantation and then no more, its what they class as a chemical pregnancy, i had one in november. The positive from this is we can do it, it's just getting a perfect embie. Take some time out with your DH and come back fighting, the bonus for you is you have time on your side.your only young.take care of yourself.

Cinny, i hope your numbers come down sufficiently for you to be able to continue soon, my clinic don't test for this, what are the problems if it is too high?(sorry for my ignorance).

To all on the 2ww hang in there, it will be worth it in the end.
To all on ET/EC good luck, and take it easy for a few days.

I've to go get ready now, Rugby this afternoon, League not union becky and lara. a good northern sport i thought i might get a bit of banter between the two games going.have fun i do follow the results as a friend of mines DH is a massive Wales fan, they have travelled all over to watch them play.

Good morning sweet ladies!

Hehe, my sweetheart is gone grocery shopping! One of the advantages to be in quite severe pain! ;) I worked yesterday as I told you guys, but once back home, the pain increased... Tylenol relieved it a bit, and a hot bottle of water too, but not completely. What's really weird is that the worst of the pain was not in my ovaries... but in my lower back! Especially on the right side! I couldn't walk, couldn't prepare dinner (aw, what a shame!) and had a very agitated night. I was a little worried about OHSS because I was bloated as well... but I decided to wait a little, remembering nouna who had two days off work because of the pain. I took Tylenol this morning again, and plan on taking it every 4 hours to keep a certain control on the pain. My ovaries almost don't hurt at all anymore, go figure. But my back! OUCH! But well... I try to take it easy.

I got the call from the embryologist this morning... and well... I'll keep that news for myself till after the personals! LOL

tcbalgord: congratulations on considering therapy. Please, I insist, look for a cognitive-behavioral psychologist that specializes in anxiety, nothing else. This really easy to treat, contrary to what you probably feel because it's so handicapping, but trust me... you won't regret it! You should find that easily in the US.

Shantala: wow... I bet you could really have done without the drama! Sweetie, I really feel for your husband! Looked like everything was under control and then boom! I'm so sorry you have to go through that stress right now! IF they wait till tomorrow to do the surgery, then I bet his new condition was diagnosed in time, which is good under the circumstances. I hope he recovers quickly darling, and oh please don't be silly! Aunty doesn't feel let down, and we don't either! Though the list is great, we can all survive without it for a few days if necessary. Don't put more stress on your shoulders. I give you a big big hug my darling; hang in there! And give your DH a gentle pat on the head for me (looks like it's probably the only place that doesn't hurt!)

Emma: congrats on the nice ET! I bet you were happy it happened in a Friday so you had your whole weekend to relax! You'll be testing a day after me it seems!

Charlie: oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you're having a hard time with the 2ww! I find it really weird that your clinic should only suggest an HPT and tell you to stop using the Progesterone! It's not that the tests are difficult to read, they're crystal clear on the contrary, it's that they are UNRELIABLE for quite a few days in early pregnancy. As I told you before, many women keep testing negative up until day 40-50 of their pregnancy. It gives you an idea! Can't you make an appointment in another clinic and get a blood test done?

Cinny: Wow.... look like those hormones really got a kick out of the meds... what's your clinic's plan? How long do they plan to wait? It's really too bad that they overstimmed you like that... but maybe if your body suddenly reacted big time to the meds, it might also be as quick to suddenly go down... who knows? I wish you just that darling. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm really glad that my post cheered you up! :D

Aunty: mental farts? LOL what's that expression! Tee hee hee, I'm gonna reuse that for sure! I'm so sorry that you were in pain yesterday my sweet darling, you know I empathize. I reacted exactly the same during my stimming, remember? I was in atrocious pain, couldn't walk, for a whole day and evening, and then in the morning, BOOM! Nothing hurt whatsoever! Like you, I worried that I might have ovulated! But I had a scan in the morning and everything was still there! (though the ultrasound machine played a nasty trick on us; the doc didn't select the right monitor and it showed nothing. I screamed, "OMG honey, I'M EMPTY!" LOL) So honestly, what happened probably is that your ovaries just got used to the new stretch and found a more comfy place to snuggle inside. I'm anxiously waiting for news!

Sassy: thanks hunny for your kind words! You got it right! Embryologist report today, transfer tomorrow! Hehehe please don't slap yourself too hard for the HPT... I think so many people here wouldn't be allowed to throw a stone, eh? ;) I'm sorry though that the result gave you more worry... I'm so proud of you for keeping the PMA up!

Angie: congrats on getting so many things done! And yes, buying a new house is quite something! Good luck though for finding a nice nest for your little ones! ;)

lara: thanks so much for your kind words! They warmed my heart again! :D

jemima: I'm so sorry you have to wait so long for your next cycle! But thanks for staying with us; we'll sure take good care of you dear!

Becleo: Hey darling! So sweet to read your post! *HUG* It's really nice to feel your thoughts right next to me! ;) And your nephew is ADORABLE!

Okay, now the big news for me... The embryologist called at 8am sharp! We've got ten embies! It still feels kind of surreal... ten perfect little babies waiting for us! She said we'll most probably be able to freeze many of them. She didn't give more info because she said she won't grade them before the transfer. My DH said right away that we did a really good job... and I made him realize that it was a very good fert rate... he asked, "Is this because they're good at it, or because we're good at it?" "A little bit of both," I replied. "Awwww... I was kind of hoping that you would tell me it's because I'm so good at it..." he said, with a cute little pout! And there I was, reassuring him that his swimmers were the most competent in the world! Men! such sensitive creatures! ;)

My transfer apt is tomorrow at 10:30am... about 24 hours away... I've started my Progesterone suppositories... and got fresh croissants this morning, thanks to DH! ;) Can't wait to call my best friend and tell her the news!

Okay ladies, that's it for me! Gotta start the laundry... Take good care and I'll stick around to see what's going on!

Lots of love,

Sophie
