hi all i have finally plucked up the courage to come over here. i tested {un-offically on tuesday} offically on friday with a hcg count of 165, which my clinic reckon is a single baby{had 3 put back in}. but nikola and wibbs have now informed me that could still be twins, we don't scan till the 31/10. have any of you had twins with this count? i would love to know!!! i still can't believe we have actually succeded this year, we had 1 failed last year, with no frozen, this year we have 4 frozen. now i am on this dreaded 3 week wait for my scan. nikola has warned me not to lower the tone of conversation over here, as she reckons you lot are all very grown up, so i am probably going to find it hard to join in, but i will try, and also i will explain the big words to her. also wibbs can help me out. o.k going to go to bed now, i an normally a bit of a night-owl, but this tiredness has hit me... speak soon {hopefully} love jackie xxx

Hi Jackie I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS!! on your positive result, I never got to find out my count to be honest they never told me so I can't help you really. I am having one baby but I am just so lucky for this IVF to of worked first time and I am just so happy. Do you have your EDD and I will add you to the roll call? I'm always on my best behaviour ha ha, but you are who you are at the end of the day so make as much noise as you want too. Take Care Love Shell. 25wks 4d pg xx

Hi Jackie Congratulations on your pg, I know what you mean about the wait for the first scan its pure hell!! My hormone count was from memory 175 and I'm carry twins, but my level was taken two days early because of a bank holiday! You ignore nikola and ask and shout as many questions as you like!!!! Take care & WELCOME Emma x 29wks 4 days with twins

Hi Jackie, Just to echo the others - welcome to the 'Other Side'. I can't help you re HCG count as like Shell my clinic didn't measure it, but I do know that it doubles every day so it might make a difference when it's tested. Yes, we are all very grown up and ladylike on this Side. Yeah right - Grown up ... my arse as Jim Royle would say, as you will soon realise! When I was on the 2ww and posting on the other side I thought that everone on this side must be really experienced and grown up, but once you get over here, you realise that the pg test is just the first thing in a different set of worries and everyone on this side is so please when we get another positive result - we're all in the same boat (more or less) so this side is great to keep up to date with the others, ask daft questions and generally get help and support in what is a really exciting but also very scary time! So ask whatever you want! lol sally xxx

Hi Jackie, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! And welcome to this side of the board. My hormone count was 394 and am pg with one little miracle..but I am not sure how important this is really. As for grown up..well somethimes we are..but please feel free to lower the tone whenever you like!! Good luck on the 31st for your scan, let us know how it goes, in the meantime post with any concerns, as Sally has said the worrying never stops!! Enjoy the wonderful feeling (and the tiredness!) and make the most of each and every day, Lots of love Kirsty xx 36 weeks with one bumpx

jackie - you are such a bloody grass! Go on then, start talking about period poo and stuff and see what happens! They are grown-up, you'll see! Also none of them will remember what period poo is like, its that long since any of them had one! Also did you see Emma's count and she's having twins, don't write it off yet....you could be shopping with me for double buggies yet young lady!!! Have you started to feel sick yet? I see you were tired but you were still up at 12.30!! I don't know how you do it, I have little rests all day long and still have to be in bed for 10 - maybe I'm just a wuss. How are you feeling? Has the news set in yet? Its amazing isn't it!! i'm so excited we got pg at the same time - yippeeeeeeee..... love nikola.xxxxxxx 6wks 4 days with twins!!

Welcome Jackie - you just makes as much noise as you like - we all feel like shouting from the rooftops I can tell you!! Great to see you over here - it is SUCH a long time to wait for the first scan, it's agony but never mind - it's worth it to see that (or those!!) little heartbeat(s). Lots of love - Jo.

Well done you and welcome this `this' side! Maybe we are more Victor mature on some subjects, practicing to be sensible Mummy's maybe?! So, as the others have said, lower the tone as much as you blimmin' well like, we need a bit of toilet humour every now and again! I don't know what my level was, but I am now 15w6d with one, after 4 failed attempts, so very happy lady! Looking forward to finding out your scan result, how many hearts? Hey, it could be 3, that would be a surprise!!! Enjoy, and try to get to bed early, you need to rest! Take care, and enjoy! D x
