Maci + Julie. Good luck tomorrow and let us know how ET goes.

Traci. I feel OK, no better than that. I had sharp stabbing pains on my drive home which have faded now. It's hard not to have doubts. I didn't feel anything first time around. I was working full time in a new, active job during the end of my 2ww and thereafter, I didn't have time to think about how I felt. The only thing I remember which is true now, is really really sore boobs that have already firmed up!

Hoping everyone is feeling OK, whatever your stage or results.
hugs
Debra

Maci ... Excellent news - you must be thrilled. Hope ET goes smoothly and you must make sure you do take that rest.

Julie .. ET tomorrow too !! Doing nothing until at least Tues sounds a good option to me. Good luck !

Delly .. I'm sorry you're having it so bad. Glad that you're still going test tomorrow, even though you feel there's no point.

Kagome .. I too hate the needles, so can empathise. I just try to think about really wacky things for those few seconds. It seems to work.

Debra .. Glad all is well !! Firmed up boobs sounds good to me. Hope you're not working too hard ?

Hope everyone else is feeling good today ..?

Well, I've been a right idiot. I went for the scan this morning. We got there really early, hoping to be first in the queue, but I was still number 8 ! How annoying. As I was sat waiting, I dug out the paper/instructions they'd given me at my last appointment, which details the medi / change in doses etc. To my horror I realised that I've been taken the wrong dose since last Saturday. Don't ask me how. I've read and re-read that sheet so many times in the last couple of weeks. Can only think I've finally gone ga ga. I should have been taking 2mg x 3 daily. I have been taking 2 x 2mg x 3 daily. No wonder my insides feel like they're about to drop out ! Went and told the Sister, who told me not to worry, that some women have to have their doses increased to that level anyway .. and to wait and have the scan and see if my lining was thick enough. Needless to say, it was. Should have been 7 apparently. Was 10. The nurse then talked me through the medi / changes in doses / pessaries for over the next few days. Got to say, she talked me through it as though I was a little sub normal ! Anyway, they assured me all is well anyway, and ET is on Wed (providing thaw goes okay).

Ooops - well, at least there's a happy ending

I am so thrilled for you - I shall keep everything crossed for Wednesday and wish your little embies loads of PMA to get them through the thawing.

Big hugs and loads and loads of Baby Dust.

When you know more we'll add you to the May Test Dates Thread

Well done

Little P

[Sand]

Thanks Little P .. Got to say I'm looking forward to seeing my name up there ... Roll on 2ww !! Am I mad ? Providing I get that far, bet I won't be saying that this time next week !

You're really not too long at all of your hysteroscopy (sp?) now, are you ? At last, you'll feel like you're actually making some headway. You've been very patient !

Let's hope that May brings good news for all of us !

Thank you all for your encouragement, it means a huge amount to go through all this with friends.

Sandra - oops! They didn't seem concerned so don't you be worrying now. Hope your ET goes well on Wednesday and I look forward to seeing your name on the May roll-call

Julie - well spooky I agree. It's great that we are following each other along this road - a journey is always better when you have a companion to share it with (I'm not doing my DH a dis-service here but you know what I mean ). Hope all goes well for you tomorrow - can't promise to keep everything crossed for you but I will for all the bits of me that aren't being kept uncrossed by the staff Our names will be flashing with big smiley faces in 2 weeks time. Rest up and take good care of you and your babies.

As I may not be posting for a few days, I'm sending PMA and truck loads of baby dust to everyone waiting.

Bye for now

Sorry Julie I meant to say.....

Read your post on the test dates thread and isn't this weird that our dates may differ. I'm sure I read on here that 2WW starts from ET but my clinic have given me a protocol sheet with my treatment plan on it. EC is day 0. Today is day 1, tomorrow (ET) is day 2 etc etc. Bloods for PG test day 14 = 11/05/05. Uuummmm I'll double check with them tomorrow perhaps I've misinterpreted it. I guess I'll have to do what they say at the end of the day anyway. I know different units have different protocols but it just adds to the anxiety levels and makes me question the evidence base and rationale behind things. But then we're just 'the patients' aren't we

Confusing huh!

Anyway, let us both get tomorrow over with first. One day at a time.

Your buddy Maci

[DebraP]

Sandra, you'll be Queen of the May waiting flowers.....not long now. I have a good feeling about you! Glad the meds mix up didn't do any harm. Thanks for asking about me. Yes I have been working hard but now have almost a week off. Just enough time to prepare for Maya's 2nd birthday next week and then a visit from my Dad and his wife the next day. Lots to do before then.

Maci + Julie. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow at 1pm (my time). I'll be in a DIY shop I expect......

Hugs
Debra

Sandra,
So glad your rx turned out alright!!! That must have been very scary. Best wishes as you head into ET next week!

[kagome]

Little P: Yes I would like my name added to the May test thread. I will let you know when I get a definite date.

I've been reading a lot of the previous posts from the last few days and found quite a few girls who are preggers. Congradulations you gals. I'm sorry to hear the girls who are tested negative. Hope you get better results next time.

[julesg]

Sandra glad your mix up worked out ok in the end- look forward to you joining Maci and the rest of us on the 2ww

Maci - I know it is wierd - not 100% sure of the date myself - as you said lets get through today - I hope all you embies are fine I am sure they will be as you have loads - just hope I have some to put back only having 4 is a bit scary. Look forward to speaking to you next week - take care of yourself and your embies

DH is not feeling very well and frankly being a bit pathetic - we need to get some shopping in before we go to the hospital so I will have to go and wake him now Not holding out much hope that I will get much TLC Plan is to rest and then Tuesday go to work but only do paper work and take it easy and then the next week I am off.

Like Maci I will be away from here for a while so best wishes, hugs and good luck to everyone and thank you again for the kind thoughts
Love
Julie

Sandra

Thanks for that - you're right it does feel as though things are really about to happen ... eekkk

To you all, take care of yourself and full of PMA. Wrap yourselves in blankets of Baby Dust.
