Good morning ladies!! Well five more days to go for me and it feels like today is a "good" day. :lol: I think my acu last night helped to calm my nerves. Other than being anxious and excited to officially be pregnant this weekend it's business as usual. It's been a little odd getting used to not doing shots each day. DH and I had developed quite a little routine!! Not that I miss them… :roll:

Jen- How are you holding up? I've been thinking of you! And no worried of having to search the world for a suitable bond haired blue eyed eggie because yours are going to do the trick this time!!! :wink: How does it feel to be back at work for a few days? I've found that it does help me to keep my mind off of worrying so that's good.

Carolyn- Thanks for the advice. I do know that the best thing for me is to stay calm and stay positive. DH and I have gotten so used to saying good night to our "babies" each night in my tummy that I'm really starting to feel pregnant. I just pray and hope that the feeling lasts!! I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. :( It really is sad and frustrating how ivf can be so cruel to such wonderful people. She is lucky she has such a great friend in you to help get her through this tough time.

Wanna- How was your scan? I hope it was wonderful and helped put your mind at ease. Please keep us posted…

Nerms- Glad to hear your follies decided to shape up!! :) How did trigger shot go last night? And EC tomorrow. You're on your way!! Can't wait to have you join the 2ww club!!!!

Angie- Welcome to the club!! Glad to hear that ET went well and you had 3 left to freeze. That was the same as me!! I hope that you get the best belated birthday present anyone could ever ask for in a few weeks!!! :D

Shantala-[/b} I'm getting soooo excited for you!!!! Only a few more days now!!!! :D

Back to work for me….

XO

HI Ladies! Quick post. Just got back from doctor.

Saw both heart beats today. Babies are still really small. They are about the size of a blue berry. :-) They are both measuring at 6 weeks and 2 days. As of today I am 6 weeks and 4 days. I have to go back in 2 weeks. If all is good then I am released to OBGYN. :-)

Will do personals and write more later.

Thanks for all your support and love ladies! You guys keep me sane. :P

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Love, hugs and baby dust to all!

Hi girls!

Hope everyone is doing well! I will do personals later (very excited for Nerms and Wanna --yea!!! And Carolyn, sorry about you friend...so unfair!),but have to run out and wanted to upate.

I will trigger tonight and do ER on Thursday instead of Friday! I have mixed feelings b/c I only have 6 really good follicles, 2 maybes and then 3 maybes, but doubt it....if we could have held out one more day - it would be better, but I guess my opinion and wishes don't count :lol: !
We really wanted a large number this time so we could freeze for next time. I just pray there's more than one egg in some follies...maybe??
My clinic only freezes at the blast stage (really good grades on top of that), so cut this six down to maybe 2 if we are VERY lucky.
Here we go with the dreaded numbers game again!

Hugs to All XOXO,
AEJ

Hi girls

Wanna - Brilliant news, i am os pleased for you :lol: Everything is going to be just fine and lets pray your good luck follows for the rest of us. Now TRY to relax and enjoy this time (hard though eh?)

Reach - Good luck for tomorrow. Stay strong and remember it only takes 1. Don't worry about the freezing part, we NEVER got to that :roll: concentrate on your EC and PMA all the way. Your going to get some lovely eggies :wink:

Hi to everyone else. Am off to work but am fine so far and trying to take things easy. Felt quite a few twinges last night in the left side again-----please let my embies be snuggling in and clinging on that wall :roll:

Catch you tomorrow

Hi ladies...

Got back from clinic about an hour ago...feel a little tender but much to our surprise we got 16 eggs!!! Of course all won't be mature, but i'm really pleased...last night i dreamt i had only two, then later i was telling my friends that it's ok as i have 14...strange the two add up to 16!!

Reach...i am so pleased things are happening earlier...imagine!! We have to trust our RE's so you're right...you get no choive...after all your only the mum!! :lol: :wink: Lots of luck for tmw!

Jen...counting down the days for you...and praying hard for a BFP!

Feel a bit tired so off to catch a few snoozes!

BTW Aunty...i keep meaning to ask...where abouts in brummie land do you family live?

Well done on your EC Nerms and congrats to Wanna on your 2 little blueberries!

Sorry to be MIA - still lots to do with work and finishing up today for a weekend away with some friends - will be very relaxing - looking forward to doing very little.

Thanks all for my birthday wishes - it means alot. I am now the ripe old age of 38. yikes!

Well I'm very crampy from progesterone - feels like AF on way but it can't be that early as only 3dp2dt so it must be the drugs. 1st week will be ok but watch out for me next week - I am sure to be crazy then!

Hi girls

Oh Shantala - This is crap news, its so unfair. Try to have some time for you and dh then you will get strength to try again. I have cycled after every 3 months so you will probably be able to do the same as long as your body is back to normal. Big hug to you and dh.

Nerms - Don't like to say it but---told you so----a nice big crop, well done. When is ER?

Steph - So close now, hang in there buddy :wink:

Reach - Good luck for tomorrow. Will be around to hear your exciting news :wink:

Angie - Me and you sound the same---bl**d AF :twisted: :twisted:

Me - Well i have been feeling very bloated today and this morning it felt like AF was due. I feel better now but am starting to get worried. Usually in my other cycles AF arrived 2-3 days before the test so its seems to early for it to be that but who knows. I thought i could chill until over the weekend but have starting checking when i go to the loo already :roll: Feel a bit scared now as i hate this disappointment and pray that it works. I am off work now until Wed so will chill out over the weekend.
There is still a week to go and so much can happen :twisted:
Did anyone who had bfp's feel bloated, AF symptoms or twinges during their 2ww??

Jen - 2ww, Test 30th March
Steph - 2ww, Test 25th March
Angie65 - 2ww, Test 2nd April
