Loopy..don't worry about anything else until you get the result tomorrow afternoon. Which sounds like a lifetime away - but you know it's not. What do you have planned to fill the day, besides taking the test of course?

Does your clinic do the test themselves? I'm seriously impressed at how quickly you lot all get your results. My clinic asks you to be there before 12 so it makes that day's collection, it gets taken to the hosp and then the result is 2pm the next day.....mind you, my clinic is pretty darn small.

Just one sleep to go!
love
Debra.

Hi everyone

I am going crazy,mad, insane and bonkers - so normal day for me then :roll: I can't remember what symptoms I got or had when I got my BFP last time so I am now convincing myself I am not even in the running to get PG this time. Someone slap me HARD across the face and bring me to my senses. I want to test right now and the poor little embies have only just hopefully (please, please) embedded.

What is happening to me guys???? I feel so worked up :(

Traci - Tracey Sharp wont have time to call us names when she's run off her feet with the girls so no worrying. A delinquent?? You? Me? Cheeky madam. Your man Dan is still in da house so you must be happy :D

Loopy and Teresa how is pregnancy suiting you both?? You lucky ducks!!

DeeDee - I hope you are getting through this and feeling a bit better. I am thinking of you.

Kel - Do you feel OK??

Debra - How are you passing the time before you do your FET??

July ann - The olden days hey? See what you started and it's still happening :roll: Early testing is not good but we are all guilty - well I'm not yet but I know I wont be able to stop myself :oops:

TS - If I test early, I'll do it quietly so you don't hear me :lol: Hee hee

I WANT SORE BOOBS :evil:

Love Dagny xkx

Dagny,

CALM DOWN!!!

What happened to all those movies you were going to watch? Get out a good book and read it. Go for a nice long walk. Whatever you do, do not test this early! If you'll remember, I made the mistake of testing on like Day 4 after ET last time and, since it was -tive, I then felt compelled to test every single day (sometimes several times a day) from that point on.
Even if I had gotten a +tive, I probably still would have tested every day to make sure it was still +tive and I wouldn't have believed it until I had the "official" test anyway. My point is that testing early really isn't going to accomplish anything. Of course, you already know this but it doesn't hurt to reinforce it!

Debra,

I can't believe your clinic makes you wait until the next day for pg test results! That would be torture.

Hi Staci

I had forgotten you tested on day 4 and every day from then on :lol:

I will try to calm down and get a grip. I haven't watched any of the movies I had planned :roll: Keep watching the live streaming of Big Brother all day - what a waste of a day??

How are your next tretment plans coming on?

Hello....just back from being dragged for a 45min drive to see a horse. We stood and looked at it for a while, sank up to our ankles in mud, got back in the car and drove home....pointless! FIL's bint owns 20% of it - hence the visit.

Dagny - you know sore boobs don't necessarily come with a +. I agree with Staci, a nice walk will do you good. Don't get into eBay for goodness sake, I adore it but it can get addictive. BB is cheaper!

Re. what I am doing before FET. Off to the UK next weekend for a 10 day visit. I'll then spend August being super serious in FET preparation, but also getting work ready for the autumn. I'll need to read lots, find articles, prepare worksheets, quizes, role-plays etc. I'll also rejoin the gym...plus carry on healthy eating - I've lost 4lbs this week through being super good and healthy.

The time WILL pass!
love
Debra.

Hi Loopy....well there are some foods you are supposed to avoid when pg....unpasturised cheeses, nutmeg, raspberry leaf tea, raw or undercooked meats, unwashed vegetables, very salty food, raw eggs/chicken/shellfish...I think that's it but there may be more!

I got this from 'What to expect, when you're expecting'.

RELAX!!!!
love

Hi there

It's day 6 and still no symptoms :? Nearly one week gone and then the last week of hell :evil: to come!!!!!

Boobs are normal. no pains but then again they didn't hury before with my PG. Got the odd AF cramp but nothing to write home about and that's about it.

Loopy - soft, unpasteurised cheese like brie and camembert, raw eggs, pate, and red meat. how are you feeling?? Still ontop of the moon??

It's rainy and dull here today :roll:

Dagny,

Sounds like you are having a difficult time at the moment. Time to watch the videos, read magazines such as Heat and OK (always good for a bit of mindless rubbish to help take your mind off things) and get into a bit of chick lit (anything by Sophie Kinsella or Marian Keyes).

I'm sure you will be fine!

Just thought that I'd send you a quick note to let you know that we are here to provide support.

I'm a fine one to talk I know - my new reflexologist said to me that I would get anxious on the 2WW but to try and relax - tell me something I don't already know. I normally can sleep for England but for the first few days of the 2WW have had real problems sleeping in the past.

Hi Girls

How are we all feeling on this bright sunny day??? Well, it is here anyway.

Had another hypnotherapy session this morning so I should feel a bit calmer - we shall see :?

I have had terrible AF cramps last night and this morning and they have tailed off now with just the odd cramp. Not sure what it means and boobs still don't hurt - jumping up and down to try and make them hurt just makes DH laugh and that's about all there is to it.

Can't believe there is still a WHOLE week left. Time is dragging and I am not enjoying it :evil:

Debra - How are you enjoying it in Suffolk at the mo?? Have you got many plans while you are over here?? I bet your parents enjoy seeing their grand daughter? You have got the good weather which is lucky as it's been really wet recently.

Julie n - I am reading Viginia Andrews at the mo, her latest book. I have read them all and I love her way of writing. I have been having really bad nights sleep as well. Very weird dreams and tossing and turning. Poor DH gets woken up by me huffing and puffing.

Anyone see the film 'The Hole' last night?? :shock: Very weird and I don't think I liked it much. Not as bad as 'The Ring' though, that film really messed me up big time.

Take care buddies

Love Dagny xkx

Hi Dagny - glad to see you're reading and passing the time away until T-day. Isn't Virginia Andrews the author of 'Flowers in the attic'? is it scary? I never, ever read scary books! and I try not to watch scary films. I'm such a wuss. I saw 'SuperSize Me' at the cinema at the weekend and thought quite entertaining. Doesn't tell you anything you don't know already. Fast food is crap nutritionally and bad for your health, full stop.

I'm still in Trondheim, I leave this Saturday. We've finally had 2 days of good weather (although a big rain storm last night) so I'm enjoying my last few days here. When we get back kindergarten starts so I'm in no rush. Suffolk is going to be a squeeze. The disaster that is my brother's marriage has finally crashed and burned. In the space of less than a week, she's moved another bloke into the house and kept the youngest child. So my brother and the two oldest kids are a 5 hour drive away at my parent's. A total disaster. He went back to collect some of the kids' things and some of his furniture a few days ago, the new bf attacked my brother, she became hysterical and my brother was threatened with arrest should he go back (for deliberately causing breach of the peace). I despair. Their kids are 15, 13 and 2. The last the product of their reunion after her last affair. Hate is a strong word but I'll use it on her.

Well, that was cheerful! at least I distracted you all for a moment or two!

love
Debra.

Wow Debra :shock:

How awful for your brother. His ex sounds like a right psycho :twisted: and her new BF is welcome to her but the poor 2 year old stuck with her. I hope she treats the poor child better than she did your brother.

Yes Virginia Andrews did write Flowers in the attic and it's not really scary at all. She is a good writer - well she is dead now and someone writes for her now and I like the fact that there are usually 4/5 books for each story so it lasts longer and they are great stories.

I thought you were already here in the UK. Silly me :roll:

Will you be able to log on while you are away??
