NO NO NO ... Don't think this way Katy ... all these symptoms come and go and drive us crazy. You won't know until Monday, so don't get disheartened.

Saying that ... I haven't any symptoms at all ... not even sore boobs or anything, so I'm really unhappy. Guess I just don't heed my own advice !

Sandra,

I often find it is much easier to give advice rather than receive or take our own. This entire process is grueling. I'm just grateful to have found this site!

Just keep in mind that many, many people never experience the first symptom with pregnancy! There is a girl at my work who is due in July. She never had the first symptom and never stressed - she is amazing and doing very well!! I guess there are no right or wrong things we should or shouldn't be feeling. We are all unique and why should we think there are a proper set of things we should be feeling?? :roll: :roll: :roll:

You are forcing me to calm down - much needed!!!! :wink: You hang in there too and force those bad thoughts and feelings away!!!

Katy

Katy - Your words are so true. As I said to Little P on the other thread, I've been singing to baby embi this morning. That was after a crying outburst. Oh, these damn hormones !! I've just had a piercing pain around my right ovary. I'm taking this as a good sign until I hear otherwise !

Susie ... How are you ? Hopefully you're getting plenty of rest ..?

Tyler .. Not long at all now my dear. Hope you're okay ..

Maci .. Hope to see an update from you, but only if you're up to it.

Lana and Julie .. You're very quiet !! What's going on ?? Anything to report ?

Hi all just an update from me. I think i've gone mental and I dont test for 2 weeks and 1 day yet! I've got all the pregnancy symptoms from the HCG injection still, really sore boobs, cant stay awake past 8 pm, feel sick and worst of all I'm constipated so constant stomach ache. I've eaten everything thats supposed to help, but a trip to docs tomoz I think!
I'm back at work on Tuesday and I've got a lot to do so it should keep my head busy, but when its done, hopefully this week, I'm gonna get signed off sick, coz may as well daydream at home rather than work!
Got my fingers crossed for you Katy, you're the most positive person on this site I think!
Sandra well done on the singing, I dont think I could inflict my singing voice on my embies, but i do keep stroking my tummy and asking my embies to hang on in there!
Good luck to all

Hi All

I am ok today - yesterday had a terrible cry at the slightest thing day - set off by a pair of trousers that usual fit fine (if anything are a bit big) that were tight and it just got worse from there on in. Felt useless - sitting resting while DH does everything (well most things!!) I think I am getting to the stage where I just need to know ahhhhhh

Have avoided the shops so far (esp. Chemist ) am determined NOT to do it before Friday.

I have been very bad though on the eating front - to many snacks - crisps - biscuits etc

Syptoms or the lack of drive you mad - your are right Sandra. I still have sore boobs which DH thinks is a really good sign and a fairly constant stomach ache is that good? My mood has been terrible ....just like before AF arrives which makes me in a worse mood thinking it is here .... so I am in a vicious (can't spell) circle and I have just realised ranting now - thanks for listening

Susie - hang in there

Katy - thinking of you good luck

Love and hugs to all

Well this 'signs / no signs', 'what's that twinge' milarky is driving me to pure distraction. In many ways I feel like AF is just 'round the corner but in many ways the way I feel feels quite different to AF. Emotions are all over the place happy one minute and crying for no particular reason the next.

Knee is bloody aching today and I'm fed up staggering around like a 125 year old granny with bad arthritis. I've told you all before that I have no patience and this joint thing needs to be better like now!!

Off to clinic tomorrow for review following hospital discharge yesterday. I'll keep you posted.

Glad my feelings are experienced by sooo many of you 2WWers. Baby dust by the wheelie bin full for us all.

Maci xx

To all of you 2wwers - PMA, hugs and loads and loads of Baby Dust.

I feel for you all so much. It is a complete nightmare I know, but hang in there and stay strong.

Get plenty of R&R and don't do anything stressful.

Fingers crossed

Thanks Sandra - you always know how to make us feel better - my eating has been a little better today but only because there were no biscuits left in the house

Can't get enough of mini cheaders at the moment :!: :!:

Maci ... You poor thing - you do sound completely down in the dumps. Let us know how you go on at the clinic today. I'm sure this appointment is a complete pain in the bum, but at least it will while away an hour or so ...

Julie ..Ha ha .. Mini Cheddars are scrumptiious .... but Mini Cheddars with Philladelphia on top, are even more naughty ..!

Thanks Little P ... Last night I thought my boobs were getting a bit sore, but nothing this morning. Must have imagined it. I've just been watching City Hospital on tv. Don't know why, 'cos I cried all the way through it. I think I'm getting some satisfaction from being so miserable ..

Have you had your call yet from the hospital ..?

Hello Sandra and all

We spoke briefly on Natural Cycle IVF thread a while ago. Been really manic since with IVF/ICSI, work etc. Just wanted to wish you much luck. I don't have any constructive advice I'm afraid as I haven't got to the 2ww stage as yet. I really feel for all of you & Really hope all goes well. Vicky
