Delly and elleR good luck with you tests

Delly I can't say about testing early but I know people on here ALWAYS say don't do it - much easier said that done though - good luck

Although I am pleased to actually get to EC I know that it is still a hard thing to get to ET and I am not looking forward to the 2ww

Hi Delly
I wouldn't do a HPT coz no matter what the result you won't believe it until you've had you're blood test.
Just hang on in there i know its a hard 2 weeks, i got a -ve HPT last time but a positive blood test so the result means nothing really. This time def no HPT for me!

My clinic does HPT so i'll be doing it at home...
don't know what to do...see how i feel, just glad AF hasn't arrived....feeling well tonight, just a bit of weight in the wromb area but no AF pains, that's only in the morning after pessaries.....i'm just so scared of getting a negative.....
Bought some HPT over the week end...the one you can do 4 days before AF are due....but don't know when AF are due with treatment.....so waiting for advice..
Good luck Elle, u might be just fine....as the girls often say here, there's no good or bad signs...yours could be good and mine be the bad!!!How knows, we are all diffferent.
Take care,
luv

Delly,

Or maybe not! It's entirely up to you. Did you get to ask your doctor why you're testing on the 29th instead of the 27th? Whatever your decision is, Good Luck!!!


JuLie & Maci - Good luck on your EC on Wednesday!

Take Care everyone!

8) Think i might keep it to friday....i didn't ask the clinic why of the different date....So whatever the result, i'll have to do a blood test at clinic?
So why don't they do a blood test straight away...waste of time....
Take care

Hi Girls ... A quicky as work calls ...

Julie .. Good to hear from you, and glad you're okay ! I hope EC tomorrow goes to plan. Let us know how many eggies ..!

Elle . Hang in there Elle, you're almost there

Christine .. Hope AF arrives today. The more you worry, the longer it will take .. When it's on the brink, I usually find that a nice warm bath helps speed it up ..

Delly .. You mustn't test early. You've done so well so far, just give it 3 more sleeps.

Maci .. How are you ?

Hope everyone else is okay .. will catch up tonight.

I'm still plodding along with the Buserelin and HRT tablets. U/s on Thursday. Can't wait.

Hi all

Sandra can I ask a stupid question? what is u/s that you are having thursday? I assume it is some sort of scan?

You guys are all great. Thank you for your kind words. :oops:

LittleP - Since stimming, the time has flown by what with scan appointments interspersed with day time telly. I've come to realise that during the day there are loads of telly progs that have big cash give-away phone-ins or competitions that you don't normally have the option of entering if you're normally at work. Uuuuummmm worth considering as possible option for funding future treatments (not of course that I'll need anymore :wink: :D ). All the best for your hysteroscopy next week.

Elle - understandable that you are nervous but from what I've read on these threads there is no definitive list of symptoms that you should or shouldn't have. Hang on there - not long to go.

Delly - not been at your stage but lots of girls on these boards have and had positives despite the odds - keep going with what your clinic advise and try if you can to keep a positive focus. Good luck.

Eskavon - sorry your puregon injections are a bit more uncomfortable - what we put up with eh :cry: My stim phase has whizzed by so hope you have a date for EC before you know it.

Sandra - Good luck with Thursday's US - will you then have a date for transfer. Sorry to be a bit thick but not very knowledgeable about FET. I'm doing OK thanks - few ups and a few more downs but getting to the bit that makes me really nervously-excited now.

Julie - Yes, this is our first time - we are using ICSI too. HCG jag went ok last night. Didn't need to set alarm afterall as was like a cat on a hot tin roof all evening. The nurse had said it might be a bit sore. Well that was enough to have me imagining the worst. I haven't enjoyed injecting myself with Buserelin and Gonal-F but it hasn't really bothered me but last night I was shaking like a leaf. Anyway, it was fine - I just took my time pushing it in and ignored the leaflet instructions to inject at 45 degrees. This is not necessary for subcutaneous injections with the small needles that I use - 90 degrees is best. No redness or sweeling at site this morning but it feels a little bruised inside, understandably. Not quite sure how I feel about EC. Obviously nervous and excited but also start thinking 'what if no eggs' or 'what if eggs don't fertilise'. That's just me to a tee though - always worrying about what might be rather than focusing on the here and now. I'm sure I'll be a nightmare on the 2WW - I am sooooo impatient and a complete worry-merchant; I'll probably drive everyone on the board nuts :wink:
Anyway, I hope this finds you well and full of PMA for tomorrow. SPeak to you later Julie.


Cheerio,
Maci x
