Hi Ladies - Thank you so much for the wonderful wishes. Today I tested again and the line looked a little darker but it's definitely positive so I am still pretty nervous. Will feel better when I get the blood test on Tuesday morning so I'll know how pregnant I might be. Been having a lot of pressure in my lower tummy. If I'm successfully pregnant - my Dr will call me. If it turns out to be negative then the nurses will call me. So I'm hoping for the call from Dr in the afternoon on Tuesday. I'm starting a swim class with my daughter that morning so at least that will distract me a little to help the hours go by until I get the word.

Jovigal- Best of luck for your Stim days. Hope you get many lovely follies!

Susan - Best of luck for you FET cycle. Wishing you much success!

Stephanie - Wishing you an easy and successful surgery. My Beta test date is Tue 5/1.

Janice - Hope you are hanging in there! Any HPT results yet?

Vicky - Thank you so much for your amazing support. You are too funny!

I hope all of you ladies on the 2ww and otherwise have all the success you have been waiting for. Take Care!

Love,
Christine

Christine, THAT'S FABULOUS NEWS! It's definitely a BFP! There really aren't too many false positive tests, unless you take it really early. Your's is a definite! CONGRATULATIONS!

Well girls, I did take one yesterday morning (an HPT), and unfortunately, mine was negative. :-( That was 9dpt for me too. I didn't take another one this morning, but I did tonight, and still Negative. This time I did the pregnant or not pregnant one, and it said not pregnant. I'm feeling pretty down about it. I just can't figure out why this keeps happening, but it's just the way IVF works sometimes. I'm pretty sure mines a negative, but I'll wait it out and take my blood test, but I knew at this point last time too.
I might try another tomorrow, but that will be 11dpt and usually they are pretty accurate by then. Doesn't sound good for me.

Hi everyone,

Fab news about your BFP christine, how wonderful for you and DH Image

Bigwhite, Ive seen several ladies get BFN's on pee sticks to go and have nice healthy babies xx

Well I had EC today we manged to get 9 eggies, so everyone needs to pray as I dont get very good fertilisation rates. My 1st cycle out of 8 eggs I only had 2 that fertilised and my 2nd cycle out of 10 eggies 5 fertilised but only 3 kept dividing!!!

So out of this whole process the most difficult time for me is the dreaded phone call from the Fertility centre to let me know how many have fertilised!!!!

Anyway I hope that everyone had a great weekend. Image

Smartie, wow, 9 eggs are great. I hope you have 100% fertilization rate this time!!!

Christine - I know you must be anxious for that blood test. I hope you have high beta numbers. Enjoy being pg!!! ...and happy belated birthday!

Janice - don't give up yet. This has happened lots of times on this board. That's why we call those pee sticks evil. They just mess with your psychi...
