I can't believe I'm here...

Hi Not sure if anyone will remember me as I haven't posted for months. After 3 failed attempts (2 IVF and one frozen at Ninewells in Dundee) I stopped visiting the site regularly as I was getting quite down. Anyway, we decided to try for a 4th (and probably last) time and my God, I tested positive this morning. All during the 2ww, I'd been getting period pains, so I was convinced it hadn't work. I still can't believe that it has happened and feel a bit like I'm tempting fate by posting this message, but need to tell someone. I have my first scan on 16th, but I know I'll not be able to relax for months. How did you all cope? love Caroline xx

Hi Caroline - what brilliant news! I know what you mean about the pain - when I was on my 2ww I had really bad AF pains every day and convinced myself it hadn't worked, but it had, and am now 8 weeks 3 days after my second ICSI attempt. The pains are completely normal, and do settle down quickly - I just get the odd 1 minute bout of pain about once or twice a day now - just stretching inside! You can calculate how many weeks you are by counting 2 weeks back from ET and then counting forward - does that make any sense? Congratulations again - keep drinking lots of water and relax as much as you can! Love sally xx

Caroline congrats!!!! I remember you - also on FF too aren't you? - We went through our FET last but one for me at the same time. Did you have hydrosalpinx too - I did - not sure if my pg brain has scrambled everything. My last FET - 4th attempt in all after one ectopic and 2 IVF's and 2 FET's worked! - now 10 weeks and still counting. Just eaten a banana and honked - used to love them but can't eat them at the moment - hope it's a good sign! WElcome Love Tracey xxx

Hi Caroline I think I remember you if you're the same Caroline! Anyway, congratulations on getting a positive result and fingers crossed everything is ok at your first scan. Take care, Luv Rachel X

Dear Caroline, Welcome to the other side!! It's a bit exciting coming over here for the first time. Hope your first scan goes well - I found the 2 ww for that worse than the 2ww for the pregnancy test!! It's hard to believe it when you first get a +ve result after all you've been through, but I'm sure that all will be well. Time will go quickly. Try and enjoy it - assuming you're not throwing up everywhere! Good luck and let us know what happens on the 16th, Alison xx

Big hug and congratulations caroline, i know how you feel i wasn't sure it had worked but when i got to 15 weeks i was suitably convinced then my mother in law (in America) suggested we capture jacob while he was inside me. she told me that everywhere in america does it they have scan of there baby made into video's so you can watch it again and again. we thought it was a good idea but it proved hard to implement as my husband had trouble finding a company in england that does it. after a long while on the internet he found a company called the baby scanners and we had it done it was the best idea my mother in law has had in a long time. we could see early on that jacob sucked his fingers and the way he likes to sleep. we sent a copy to the in laws seeing as they couldn't be with us. good luck and congrats again Karen [Edited by miss1ie on 15-Jul-03 09:42]
