Hello Caroline - me again! I was just wondering (as you're at a similar point to me) - what have you felt like since et? Have you had any pains or feelings of any kind? Any body changes? I'm just desperate to know if I'm the same as anyone else. I know Beck and Louise both had cramp in their belly and they both tested positive!! I've had cramp too but don't want to be excited because it could be period pains! Ohhhh it's such a dilema. Love Sarah

Hi Sarah Thank God I'm not the only one going mad. My et was on Thurs 24th, so I'm on day 14. Since et I've had loads pains and feelings. I felt sick around lunchtimes about 5 - 8 days after transfer I have been getting some cramping pains in my tummy (feels like AF) I have had some ovary twinges I have had a twitching right eyelid I have been really forgetful and doing daft things I have felt "different" I have had aches in my back I have been really hungry all the time I am knackered all the time All these things could be perfectly normal and I probably wouldn't think twice about them if I wasn't having the treatment. I'm probably just being super sensitive. I'm trying not to read too much into all of the above as I don't want to get my hopes up and have them dashed. I am taking both HRT tablets and Cyclogest pessaries, so I think the tablets are keeping AF away. Last time I failed, AF came on day 11, but the hospital said to still do the test. This time is worse, as up until I do the test, I'll still have that hope. (I've decided not to go out tomorrow now and wait and do the test on Saturday.) Even if the test is positive, I don't think I'll relax for months. I have been quite open with everyone about my situation, so I will have the dilemma of telling people about the result. I've just heard some bad news from my friend who has just m/c at 6 weeks(she has "normal" fertility), so the chances of something going wrong are quite high. Anyway, enough of my ramble. I'll probably "talk" to you again tomorrow. Fingers crossed for us both. Love Caroline xx [Edited by caroline on 07-Nov-02 16:57]

Hi Caroline - can't stop posting today! I can't believe how many symptoms you've had!! I think they all sound pretty good -wish I had a few more. All I've really felt is a/f pains from day 8 post fet and feeling knackered from day 1!!! (Mind you, that's not that unusual for me!). Have had anything else at all really. I'm so desperate to know. I had a failed attempt last time too - a/f came the day before the test. Catch up later. Sarah x
