Thanks Alicia and Paige :lol:

I know 2 days after ET is early but I somehow feel very differently about this cycle - I don't know why :roll: ........ I really hope it's my woman's intuition kicking in but then again just could be my PMA working overtime!!

I have gone straight back to work and am doing things as normal - I got a text today out of the blue from DP saying "Love U" .... after I replied that it was a pleasant surprise ... he text back saying "yeah, I hope we have a baby" ............... isn't that SOOOOOO sweet! He couldn't make ET last time but was with me this time, I think it has really hit him how real this all is! Bless :wink:

Hiya Paige

They don't mind whether I test at home so I will be doing that (if I'm lucky eneough to get there thistime - AF arrived day before last time) :evil:

Then If I get a BFP I will go in two weeks later for a scan and see how many embryos have implanted.

I have convinced myself the browny discharge was actually residue from the ET and not Implantation Bleeding - seems more likely!

Anyway, how is everyone - gone a bit quiet on here latelly .............

Big LOVE

Addictive is the right word! I think my egg retrieval is going to be Friday. The stim drugs are making me extremely bloated and my bbs went from a C to a D, and are killing me. I can't even stand to have them touch my pajamas. Looks like I'll have around 16 eggs, hopefully one of them will be "the one".
There has been a lot of talk about a 2 week wait....my Dr does a pg test 10 days after ET. I'm sure it will feel like a year.

Hang in there everyone!

Anyway - had EC on 14/7 - 6 eggs - 3 fertalised - 2 went on

ET 16/7 - 2 grade 1 embies put back!

today 5dpt (or is it 6?) do they count transfer day as day 1?

Feeling ok - some days bloated with sore boobs some days not bloated and boobs ok! Probably the cyclogest

Starting to feel the pressure now though and doing everything I can to stay busy and positive

Hello everyone

Hope you don't mind if I join in at the end as well!

Julie - my test date is the 30th as well, ET was the 15th and I think that today is day 6 so I guess that you must be day 7?

Still got AF type pains and sore boobs, just trying my best not to read anything into it!

Hope - sorry I didn't get back to you on the other thread. As far as I know that pessaries are progesterone but at my hospital they apparently either give a course of pessaries or a one off injection.

Lots of luck

Hello Hope, Lyndsey and Macaroni

Gosh I cannot believe how many of us will be testing at the end of this month - the lis keeps growing - there will be a baby boom next March/April won't there ........... well for the lucky ones there will be :P

Nothing to report for me - no further signs - am quite pleased that officially I should get AF next Tuesday and therefore only 6 more days to go (even though test date isn't until next Saturday) - AF is never late usually so it will be constant knicker checking from then on :roll:

Love to all

Hello Ladies,
I just wanted to pop in and wish you all LUCK !!!! I am thinking of all you, and I really hope you'll all get what you deserve a ''BIG FAT POSTIVE''!!!
Keep the PMA going, and stay positive.....

I am doing pretty good (so far) I am 5 weeks pg tomorrow and so far no morning sickness, just a little queasy, and indigestion, and and of course extremly TIRED !!!! But I love it all !!

Anyway, I'll check in soon !!

Can not bl**dy believe it. I've just typed a really long post, having spent ages reading all the threads and catching up ... then pressed the wrong button and lost it all. So Mad !! :evil:

So (in short) hope everyone on meds at the moment is feeling okay ... and those on their 2ww aren't going too crazy ....

Dagny - I saw on another post you don't feel too positive today. You've done all the hardwork Dagny - you just need to sit tight and sit out the next 5 days ..I know it's easy for me to say this, sitting here .. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you.

Lindsey - I do like Jean, but she does scare me half to death. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of her. A real MATRON.

Sophie-Jane - Nice to see you back (in a way!). I cycled with you in March. How's the Level II going - or have you passed by now ? Hope 2ww isn't too terrible (though I know it is) and that DH is pulling his finger out a bit !

I'm on day 7 of downreg today. Can feel AF coming on, so (if meds go same as last time) should start stims on Mon. Hoorah !!

Everyone take care

Hi!
OK I'm already addicted :lol:

Thanks Juile, good luck to you too!!!!
Niki, looks like we may both know on the same day.
Paige - wow- 16 eggs!!! Hope you get to retrieval soon!!

Last time on test day I went to the beach, got the bad news there on my cell and it wasn't so bad. This time I will be at work. I think I may arrange a half-day since good news or bad, don't think I want to be at work!

Anyone have plans for the weekend to take your mind off this??
Saturday my bother and sis-in-law are having a post-wedding party, they got married in Jamica a few weeks ago. Should be fun, but no drinking..boo hoo!!! :cry:

Hi Girls

Good luck everyone and lets hope for BFPs very soon for us all :D
