hi girls, Just thought i'd drop a quick line to see how you are all doing. I'm ok..on day 3 of the dreaded 2ww,and it's driving me mad. doing a knicker check every time i go to the loo, even though i'm not due on yet anyways, but i can't help it. Pat is a nervous wreck..lol. dunno who's more anxious, me or him. Like becky, i'm suffering really badly with constipation, and when i do eventually go, it's almost white,(sorry to be graphic). I can only put it down to the pesseries, and i'll be glad when i finish them. Anyways, that's me. How's everyone else???? Hope you are all well. Take care all, loadsa love, Heather xxx

Hi girls..the clinic called me today and they have now changed my testing day to the 2nd December as you can't have a blood test on a Saturday..don't mind tho' kinda gives me 2 more days of being pg or thinking pg thoughts..if I am not so lucky..also means that I might miss out on a huge Sat night drink up if the test is negative! Heather- my constipation has gone..had a break last night and used them vaginally..sore ..and felt horrid and wets..wouldn't suggest it but it did give me a break from the bloating windy feeling..I also seemed to pooh for England today..so maybe give it a try.. I agree..the pooh is white so it is normal.. sorry to be so graphic but how else do you get the points across??? How did you scan go Sammi? Lost count already of what day of 2 ww I am on..day 3 I think! Love Becky B love Becky B

Hi gang - I went back to work today (4 days after e/t) and was pleased to be there - time goes much quicker. I'm off cyclogest and having gestone injections instead. I'm not sure which is worse - they're intramuscular so dh has to do them in my bum, which isn't great, but I do seem to have escaped the unpleasant constipation/wind combination! Take care of yourselves. Love Alison

Hi everyone, So pleased for you becky that you are now safley back and on your 2ww,at barts they always remind me its quality not quantity,and you sure had the quality,so be sure to take care and chill out a bit,and dont over do things. heather and alison you two both try to take it easy aswell. Ive used the cyclogest a few times now,i did find that they make you do poo,s alot,i did find that (sorry to sound crude)but up the bum they tend to stay around for alot longer,vaginally can be a bit messy. My scan was fine,if not a little sore,i have a high uterus and they tend to dig around a bit. I have 11 follies so far,going back 2morrow for another scan aswell as friday.If everythings ok then e/c will be on monday. I think that we should start a new page under same title as its seems to take forever to show up this page at the moment. I really have everything crossed for you all,ive just realised im really dragging behind you all. promise not to forget about me when you have all finished your 2ww. Take care everyone keep in touch love sammy.xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Girls Well I am delighted to finally be joining some of you on the 2ww. Had e/t this morning. They put back two 4 cell Grade 1 embies, they said one was perfect and the other was almost perfect...but they seemed happy. I was slightly disappointed though as out of the 10 eggs collected only 2 got this far and none were good enough to be frozen. Oh well, I guess I MUST be positive and hope that I won't have to go through this again! And I should be thankful as some girls don't even get this far. So I test 2 weeks today - 5th December. I am at home till the 2nd Dec when I go back to work. I was amazed at how painless the transfer was and really happy to finally be on the 2ww. Love, Michelle x

hi michelle,well done you must be so pleased.Im due for e/c on tuesday now(our 3rd go)so im really wishing for it to be 3rd time lucky.I kinda have the same situation as you,1st go we had 10 eggs but only 2 were good enough to be put back,strangley though they to were grade 1,s,On our 2nd go we had 6eggs,three of them were grade 1,s,i had 2 put back and usaully they wouldnt freeze just one but they said it would be a good idea to freeze it so this time hopefully i will have some to add to it.They have upped my ampoules because i have got 16 follies at the moment but some are a bit small,so they want them to grow before tue(e/c).They do seem to be making alot of effort to have good quality this time.I to am hoping that this is going to be the last go for us(SO MUCH TO GO THROUGH).well you take good care of yourself and keep us posted lots of good luck sammyxxxxxxxx

Hi Michelle - glad to hear about your e/t. Try not to worry about there being none to freeze - its the 2 good quality ones they've put back you need to worry about now! Look after them and you on the 2ww. Good luck to Sammy too - like you we are hoping for 3rd time lucky - testing on Tuesday. Its going to feel like a very long weekend!! Alison x

Hi Sammy I am pleased - though I must say when I think about it (which is 100% of my time!) I can't believe that I now have embies in me! my body just feels so normal. It is great that you have one good frostie and I'm sure you will get more this time (not that you should need it though) unless you decide to have a baby brother or sister somewhere down the line - as it will be third time lucky for you! It really was quite sweet my dh has been talking to my tummy and we have named the embies Niles and Daphne (from Fraser - which we love!) sad I know. Keeping everything crossed for all of us. Good luck Sammy. Love, Michelle xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Michelle.. I think that it is wonderful to talk to your embies..I send nice thoughts to mine and send them nice pictures of being nice a snuggy in my womb and promise them a loved and happy life..my dh feels like a bit of a wally so refuses to talk to them but I know that he often thinks little thougts..you can see it in his face...and when he cuddles me in bed his hands are always on my belly!..Men!!! Just thought I would add to your thoughts...off to have a shower now to start another 2ww day..and of course work....The shower is also a great place to talk to and rub your belly... Love Becky B

Michelle · Post by **Michelle** » Fri Nov 22, 2002 9:50 am

Hi Becky B Thanks for your response - you have made me feel a little less mad! Lucky you - you are 3 days ahead of me - I don't test till the 5th...I'm only on day 2 and it seems like 100 days already! I'm taking it easy for the next couple of days and then I will also get back to normal. Luckily my dh is off right now so I'm not alone at home. Love, Michelle x

Hello Heather Just butted into your topic to check how you're doing - can't believe you're a week into the 2ww!! Just wanted to wish you lots of luck for next Friday - really hope it's positive for you. Take care, Luv Rachel X

hiya ladies, 8 down 6 to go!!!!!!! God i cant believe that it's been over a week since we had IUI. Had a bit of a rough day yesterday and the day before. I'd convinced myself that it hadn't worked. I know it's completely irrational, as i have no idea, but im sure you ladies understand how im feeling. Feeling a hell of a lot better today, am im trying so much to think positve thoughts, i'm even stroking my belly and whispering words of encouragement. Hubbs has taken to rubbing it at night in bed (and me tummy!!!) and to be honest, we are dreading friday arriving, as much as we want it to come. I think it's all the emotional stresses that go with all this. I had no idea just how difficult it would be. Anyways, how you girls doing? Hope you are all well. Take care of you now. Loadsa love, Heather xxx

Hi everyone..had to post to say.....that I am sure that AF is getting ready to come....really bad pains again all night last night..and on and off all day the last 2-3 days...urghhhhhh....I am not quite as stroppy now ( well I have stopped the murderous thoughts!!) Poor hubby ..can't do a thing right at times.. My test day has been brought forward now..to the same as Heather..Friday the 26th..as my test day was on Sat they were going to make me wait until the Monday but as my cycle is normally 25/26 days they have said I can test on the Friday now.....so only 5 more sleeps to go. A nice chilled out Sunday planned for today..a couple of friends coming over for tea..(about as exciting as it gets on the 2ww!) and then another night in front on the TV ..and then a hot date planned later with a pessarie!! lol lol I hope that things are all going well for you all... Not long now until test day for you Alison -Tuesday isnt it? Love becky B

Just a short note to see how all my fellow riders are gwetting on. Hope you are all ok. anyways, i'm away..talk soon. Loadsa love, Heather xxx
