Sandra - you are half way through. Some have sore boobs others don't. Try your nipples as apparently they are meant to hurt more if you are pg. However I asked my sister this and she said she had no symptoms at all when she was pg.

I sort of work with deaf people. I am an inspector for care homes and childrens homes so work with children and adults who have a learning disability and use sign language to aid communication. I am doing British Sign Language Stage 2 - but never revise or never practise so have a feeling I will fail my exam in June :oops: :oops:

Susan - I've been wondering how your follicles have been getting on. Good Luck for ec tomorrow. let us know how many eggs you have, and then take it easy. feet up and chill.

Angelina - Good Luck for test date. I hope all your dreams come true.

I have managed to get an appointment with the consultant on April 13th, and he has agreed to me starting fet as soon as I've had my next af. I've heard that af's can be delayed after a treatment cycle so fingers crosed mine comes on time (its normally 30 - 35 days).
I hope the consultant will utter a few more words than he normally does!!. I am a lot more positive this week .. thanks to this site.
Hope you three FCB's see us all out with BFP. :) :) :)

hi jane and sandra

thankyou both for the support

EC went well i had 19 eggs :shock: never thought i would get that many i dont think the clinic wanted me to get that many either they were hoping for 10 at the most because of OHSS last time when i got 18 eggs so im drinking loads of water, ET tomorrow will find out how many fertilised

Take Care

Susan,
Thats great news about the eggs. You shoud have a good batch fertilise. I had 16 eggs and 12 fertilised and 8 made the grade, which I think is about normal as they say about 50% make it.
Hope et goes well. Have you shaved your legs and put on fake tan?

Sand - the countdown has begun. Not too far to go now. Are you doing 17 or 14 day 2ww? I hope you will be joining the other FCB's over 'the other side'.

Congratulations to Angelina - another FCB positive. :D :D :D

It's a dam long countdown though - 'til Monday. It was a 17 day-er. If it was 14 it would all be over (or beginning ! must be +ve !) tomorrow. I know (as you've pointed out), everyone's different - but I really don't feel a thing now. Hopefully, I'm just like your sister ! No bloatiness, pain, cramps, blood, sore boobs - nothing. Mind you, when I did have pain, I was worried about that too - so can't win really. Will just have to keep cool. ET seems soooo long ago now ....

I've worked in a Deaf environment for almost 15 years now - originally in a care home, now on the management side. I've only got BSL I though. It's such a jump to Level II ! So - Practice, Must, Important !, for June exam.

Hope you are still hanging in there.
Just signed good luck to you!!
Susan - how did et go? Am waiting to hear your news. Make sure you drink loads and loads of water. With so many eggs you will have a sore tummy so take it easy.

Susan. Well done for all those fab embies, to get frosties too = great news. Fingers crossed until test date. Yes I was really bloated whilst using pessaries, I wore size 16 jeans just to be comfortable around the waist.

Sand. You know there's a whole heap of people waiting to share your +++++ news tomorrow don't you? I'll be checking the board as soon as I get home after work, don't forget to post!

Hi to all FCBs.

love
Debra.
