Jen
That is just fantastic!!!!!!! Two of us with positives in one day it bodes well for all our buddies! 240 is great it makes my 181 seem alittle low as I am 3 days further on than you. My nurse did say it is not so much the figure but how much it increases so I will try not to dwell on it. Well done you
lots of love Jill xxxxx

Jill,

SO thrilled for you that your HCG is progressing well. I had an early MC my first IVF and my numbers never even got up to 60, so you're looking good. Hope all goes smoothly from here.

Oh, and I think Jen's numbers are so high only because maybe she has twins! My first blood test was 256, then 575 and I think the next one almost a week later was 8 thousand something.

Good luck to you both and to eveyone still waiting to test.

That is such great news - you and Jen on the same day it has really helped to cheer me up today - I was unable to look at work today - so I have been anxiuos all day about news

I have been feeling very tierd and wiped out since I started sniffing on saturday - not sure if it has anything to do with the sniffing or if it is just a coincidence as there does seem to be a virus going round work at the moment. But it has made me feel low - despite some retail therapy on amazon

I am so pleased for you both it has inspired me to press on and be +ve

Love to you both and to everyone else - hang in there

Hi everybody

Jen & Jill -really glad you both got such good news today. It is so brilliant -well done!

I had my day 14 scan today -thankfully the nurse found both my ovaries really quickly. Have to continue injecting until Wednesday when I will be rescanned. The follicles have grown about 1mm since Friday -so they are still growing but just really slow. Had my blood pressure taken on Friday 152/97 so that is not good. My GP said that hopefully it is just the stress from the treatment that is making it go back up. Went over to see my best friend this afternoon her 2 year old son ran into my arms and gave me a massive hug -I needed it so badly!

Hope everybody is ok.

Jackie

[Kel]

Hi Buddies!

Well you BFP girls, hope you are both ok! x
Jackie - Well done on your scan and glad they located your ovaries this time ok! Hope your blood pressure can ease back down, but you are right as this is a stressful time and is going to have an effect, hope you can take things easy? Ah that big hug sounded lovely, my 20 month old nephew is coming over tomorrow so I'll be demanding some of those!!
Elizabeth - Good luck for your scan tomorrow! Let us know how you get on!
Christine - Really keeping my fingers crossed for you to get cycling before xmas!
Jules - The sniffing always knocks me about a bit, and retail therapy is the ONLY thing to help!!!! Hope you're doing ok...
Staci - It's getting near for you now, so it may be only just over a month until you have your FET! The time is coming round quickly! I hadn't read your other thread, I really hope you're ok? Just not needed for you right now to find that out, but you concentrate on that you are getting so close to it being your turn now. Will be checking up on you x
Debra - How are you?? Hope life in Norway is good!
Kim - How are you doing?? It's countdown week now! Are you going mad looking for symptoms??
Joy - Hope you are ok too!

Well I ventured out of the house yesterday which was soo needed. I stayed in bed for 5 days, so I needed a stretch to say the least!!!! We live by the beach, so we went for a gentle stroll along the sea, and it was such a beautiful day! But I do feel a bit like I need a smack at the moment, being horribly negative in my head about this and need to shake it off. It's just the whole cycle has gone so well this time, and every step was totally different from my first cycle, so I should be feeling really positive, but this part I can only relate to what happened last time and I feel really down about it. Sorry girls, I need a telling off!

Love Kel xx

Hi.....Jen and Jill - hope you both managed to get some sleep after your huge days yesterday. Your news put a massive on my face, thank you!!

Kel - you do not need a slap ! Just support and people who understand, ie. us! Of course you'll dwell on what might be happening, how could you not? esp. with taking it easy and resting like you are. You're obviously a very active and busy person normally so this sudden change of pace has given you lots of thinking time on your hands! Walks on the beach sound heavenly. No beaches to speak of here. We're on the fjord but that doesn't mean beaches sadly. You've about a week to go, it will pass and fingers crossed, you'll be joining your grinning buddies Jen and Jill on the other side soon.

Elizabeth! your comment made me feel like a ghost! LOL.....good luck with your scan tomorrow.

All fine here. I had a couple of wobbles yesterday. I went to visit my closest friend and her 1 day old at the hospital. I knew I'd feel a bit miserable afterwards, and did. Another v. good friend gave birth this morning in Sydney and then I read of Jen and Jill. I identify with both of them. I'm an inch younger than Jill and had 5 tries, a bit like Jen. I wondered last night about whether we were right to stop trying. I think we've done the right thing. DF would probably agree to trying again if I pushed it, but I'm not convinced it's even worth thinking about....Anyway, this thread is about you, happy, guys!

take care and lots of hugs,
Debra.

Kel

I don't know why, but I have really good vibes about this working out for you this time - I know that doesn't make sense but I've just got this feeling !!!!

As you know I test on Friday and I'm at the stage where I can hardly cope thinking about it. I have various different feelings in my stomach and trying to distinguish between whether it may be AF pains, wind or nerves is doing my head in. I don't feel positive or negative and am trying the old ' take each day as it comes ' approach. As long as I can cling onto my sense of humour I think I'll just about survive until Friday ( unless AF comes in which case I have given myself permission to kick the sense of humour into touch!! )

You know you're right though, from what you've written about this cycle being so different from the last you should be positive, so while you sort out your positive thoughts I'm going to send you loads of mine !!!

Luv

Kim

Kel,

I won't tell you off except to say that we all have our ups and downs and I thinkit is only natural. I try and just feel what I feel but then manage my feelings by trying to keep things in perspective either way, i.e. if I'm getting too negattive or even too 'positive' (in a manic kind of way). Anyway that is how I cope, and this is what I am comfortable with. Everyone is different, I think. That said, I'm wishing you lots of PMA! Thanks for asking about me. I'll be happy to let you know how I get on

Jill, Wonderful to hear that your numbers are going up. All the best to you.

All I can manage in this message for now (I'm at work). Best wishes to all.

By the way, I'm soo tired and feeling kinda yuck. CAn't wait for EC and moving on with this.

Elizabeth

Hi Debra,

Just read your last post and had to laugh. Yes, I know that's how it sounds but I don't mean it that way! What I mean is that to me your personality really shines through your posts, so in that way, you are a strong personal;ity or presence, meaning in a abstract way. Well, we are in a virtual world here, sometimes it is rather strange (but fine) to me to be writing to everyone, sharing this incredible, personal expereince, and I haven't met any of you! I get easily overwhelmed trying to account for everyone in my posts and wish I had more time so that I could. Whatever..not making much sense here, I suppose!

Love,
Elizabeth
