OCBs 11

JULES K · Post by **JULES K** » Sat Nov 29, 2003 3:50 pm

Hi Girls, Thought I would start a new thread. Well had ET on Thursday, wasn't as bad as last time (didn't have ultrasound guidance this time) so Titch and Munchkin (sad I know!) are safely deposited where I hope they will remain for the next 9 months. I can't believe I have started knicker and toilet paper (sorry gross) checking already. Don't know how I am going to survive the next two weeks. I went home to bed straight after ET and have decided to stay there for a few days, don't know if it will help but hey I'll try anything. Have had quite bad pains since ET but don't know if this is left over from EC. Trying to keep positve but already panicking about a possible negative result. Traci - sorry to hear your news, have posted you a message on your own thread. Hayley - how is your 2WW progressing? Lots of love to all the other OCBs Julie xx

Hi Girls Thought I would quickly check in before Pop Idol results. Am staying in with little sister this evening as DH has gone to Scotland for the weekend. Checking.........whether it's knicker, loo roll, boobs, tummy I can asure you I am checking it. I am eating so much more than I would normally, this is what I do when AF is due, I just really don't know what is going on with my body.................I am just finding it hard to keep positive. Jules - Glad to hear ET went OK. Munchkin and Titch will love it where they are and will deffo wanna be there for 9 months. Traci - Have posted on your own thread. LisaC, Becky, Dolly & Vicki - How are our mum's to be? Taking it easy I hope. Love to all of the OCB'S, thinking of you all. Lots of love Hayley xxxxxxx

Hi there Hope you're all ok. Jules, I'm glad to hear ET went well and that it wasn't so bad this time. I'm sure that Titch and Munchkin (great names - I named mine Thompson & Thompson because Tin Tin was on the TV when we got home from ET!!) will love their new home. Take it easy and I hope your 2ww doesn't prove too stressful. Hayley, please try and stay positive - I'm sure it helps. Sending millions of +++++ vibes your way. Lisa C, Becky and Vicky, how are you all doing? Anymore symptoms? When do you all go in for scans? I am feeling fine and have had no bleeding for a week now so I did as I was told and did another test this morning and used one of those digital tests. I was so relieved when PREGNANT came up - somehow it is more reassuring to see it in words rather than a line. I will call the hospital on Monday and see when they want me to come in for a scan (I don't think they do bloodtests). Hope you all having fun weekends. Take care Love Dolly

Hello there old cycle buddies!! Just to let you know that I startred sniffing today and go for my baseline on Wednesday. Doing a short protocol this time round to fir things in before Xmas. If all goes to plan, DIUI December 15th. Hope you are all well love Lisa x x

Im right there with you lisa not long now and what a lovely christmas pressy that will be , is this your first DIUI? I am going to ask if I can have a go at that seeing as I have got 4 eggs each time with grade a embies but DH has 10% motility so perhaps this could be worth a thought. Hayley My heart goes out to you, it will soon be testing day and you 'll wish it wasnt!!!!! things have gone well so far so you are in with a good chance , Hang in there girl Trace x

Hi Girls I met with some girls from FF on Saturday for lunch it was really nice to meet other IVF’ers. We are hoping to meet again after Christmas. I’m feeling fine, just can't wait for scan. Julie - I had pains from EC which got worse after ET. Try to stay relaxed, I know its hard I was a mad woman. Hayley - Don't listen to your body I was convinced my AF was due to arrive I had all my classic signs. Dolly - Glad to hear the bleeding has stopped. My scan is on the 9th Dec, When is yours? I did the digital test there so cool. Lisa P - Good to hear from you, hope all goes well with Baseline on Wednesday. Traci - How are you? Do you have any plan for Christmas? Love Vicki XXX

Hi Girlies, How is everyone this morning? I am only on day 4 and am already going mad. I'm trying not to think about things but can't help it. I have decided not to watch any baby programmes on Discovery Health at all this week as I am just torturing myself. The pains I had after ET have subsided, boobs are quite sore if I poke them and I think they look a bit more veiny than usual but I don't know if this is just psychological as I seem to remember reading on a previous thread that someone had veiny bobbs and get a positive (Vicki I think) I keep wondering if The embies have implanated yet or whether they are just floating around. I have heard that they don't implant until day 6 so I am trying to rest as much as possible On my last cycle I started bleeding on day 5 after ET so I am panicking that the same thing will happen tomorrow. This cycle was delayed so my actual af was due 7 days ago so don't know if this will make a difference. The next 10 days seem like an eternity................ Sorry to ramble on and on Hayley - how are you feeling? any symptoms yet? Lots of love to all the other OCBS Love Julie xx PS Are you supposed to keep drinking gallons of water for the whole 2WW? I have been but just thought I would check!

Hi there, how are you all? I have just booked my first scan for 11th December - seems like light years away. Luckily I am really busy at work so hopefully time will fly by... Julie, hope your taking it easy - I'm sending +++ vibes your way. When do you test? I was told to keep drinking lots of water during the 2WW. Hayley, how are you? Not long to go now. Also sending +++ vibes to you. Lisa P, Good to hear you're off again. Good luck for your baseline on Wednesday. Vicki, Glad to hear your feeling ok. I have been feeling sick a couple of times a day - but nothing drastic. Love to all the OCBs Dolly

Hi Dolly, thanks for the positive vibes, I need all I can get! To answer your question I test on 11 Dec the same as your scan. Can I ask did you get any symptoms or clues during your 2WW and at what point? I keep thinking that I should somehow feel different but then the logical part of me thinks it is too early as I'm only on day 4 and the embies probably haven't implanted yet! Look after yourself mum-to be ! Julie xx

Dolly · Post by **Dolly** » Mon Dec 01, 2003 5:09 pm

Hi Julie, I didn't feel any different at all during the 2WW - my boobs felt a bit bigger and were a bit sore to touch - but I had that on my last failed cycle so I think it was to do with the pessaries. I did have shooting pains in the middle of the night on Day 10 and after that started spotting - so I don't know if that was implantation - but seems a little late to me. I really think it is difficult to tell if it has worked or not. I think you just have to stay positive - I told myself everynight that it was going to work. I hope your 2ww doesn't go too slowly (I know mine dragged by!). Take it easy Dolly

Hi Girls, Where is everyone today, nobody chatting? Hayley - how are you doing? Not long for you now, hope you are still keeping up the old PMA. Are you testing at home on Thursday or do you have to go to hospital? Day 5 for me today on my own special IVF advent calendar. The next 9 days seem so far away but I'm sure the time will pass before I know it. Lots of love and best wishes to everyone Julie xx

Hi Girls Am really trying to stay positive..............not having much luck though. I am abso s******g myself about doing test at home tomorrow. I keep thinking the last few days I have not had so much pain, where as Dolly, Vicki and Becky did....oh god I don't know. I feel like I am torturing myself. LisaC - Hope all goes well with scan tomorrow, I am praying it will be good news for you and me both. Traci - Have been thinking of you a lot, you amaze me with your constant positive attitude. Jules - Know how you feel, you will dread it even more when test date arrives. Loads Loads PMA +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dolly, Becky, Vicki - thinking of you all. Love Hayley xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Girls, Just checking in today. How is everyone? I'm feeling a bit down today, had af type symptoms last night so was convinced she was going to rear her ugly head today but touch wood no sign yet. I feel like I am craking up constantly knicker checking and boob poking to make sure they are still tender and whether they look more veiny than usual. I think I will be a complete basket case by the time I test next Thursday. I wish I could just go to sleep and wake up on the 11 december then it would all be over. Hayley - I've started your own thread to wish you luck for tomorrow Traci - thanks for the brandy and coke it was much appreciated! I know how you feel about being around children, I am sad to say I have avoided one of my closest friends for the last few weeks as she has a 5 month old daughter and I just can't handle seeing her at the moment. Dolly, Vicki, Becky and Lisa - hope you are enjoying your pregnancies Lots of Love to all the other OCBs Julie xx

JULES K · Post by **JULES K** » Thu Dec 04, 2003 11:08 am

Hi Girls, Really down today. Have started spotting this morning so I know af is going to appear shortly. Keep trying to convince myself it is implantation bleeding or that maybe one of the embies is still hanging on in there but I know in my heart of hearts that it hasn't worked this time. I have soent all morning crying and just feel so empty and lost. don't know what else to say Julie xx
