Hi all, I got a positive today but, as you can see from my other post, instead of being over the moon (which I know I should be) I am sick with worry..... I just wish the bleeding would stop for good and then I could relax... Congratulations Vicki and Becky, I am thrilled for you both. Traci, how are you? Not long to wait now... sending millions of +++ vibes your way. Hayley, hope your EC went well - when do you have ET? Jules, how did your scan go? Have they given you a date for EC yet? Sorry if I have missed anyone. I havn't logged on for a week and have a bit of catching up to do!!! Love to all Dolly

Hi Girls Well had EC on Tuesday, as you know, they took six eggs. Bit tender Tuesday afternoon/evening. Hospital called me on the Wednesday to say all six eggs had fertilised. Thursday was back for ET, out of the six eggs five were ok, the two they hve put back in are grade 1 and the three they have frozen are grade 3/4. All my emotions caught up with me and ended up bursting in to tears when they told me. For the first twelve hours I could not help looking down the toilet, as I was convinced every time I went to loo they would fall out. This 2WW is driving me insane already, I keep bursting into tears for no reason. Sleepless nights where I am worrying so much, have had cramps in my stomach on and off since Friday evening this must mean AF is on its way, my boobs were sore before EC but now they are abso killing me, it even hurts wearing a bra. Just feel so helpless, this is complete torcher am convinced my heart is gonna be broken, everyone says stay positive but is so hard. Vicki - Have posted on other thread but am so pleased for you. Becky - How are you feeling Mum to be, hope you are not feeling so stressed now I am sure everything is OK. Dolly - CONGRATULATIONS........so great to come back online and read that you and Vicki both tested ++tive. Jules - Good luck with EC on Tuesday, 11 follies great news. Let us know our you get on. Traci - How are you? I am keping everything crossed for you, I reckon we could be on a roll here, Vicki, Dolly and you. Will be thinking of you, know how you feel its only my 4th day and am going mad. Gem - Great news! Jan will be here for you before you know it. Make the most of getting plastered over Christmas and stuffing your face. So pleased you have had some positive news, you deserve it! LisaP - Hope you are ok? LisaC - How have you been feeling, hope evrything is OK. Girlies - Thanx so much for your concern, as you had not heard from me for a few days, I was touched, just wish I could feel more positive, am already b****y knicker checking. thinking of you all Love Hayley xxx

At my Inlaws and have just been told my sister-in-law is expecting her second child, of course I am really happy for them, they totally deserve it but it's just like being kicked when you are already down. Just wished had not found out until after my test date...............why is life so cruel. Sorry if this sounds selfish but it's just that when she announced she was pregnant with her first baby, we had just been told by my gynocologist that there was nothing more they could do for us and our next option would be IVF, bad timing I guess. Feeling sorry for myself, wish my Mum was here to give me a massive cuddle. Sorry for moaning Love Hayley x

Hi Girls I feeling much better just chilling out and drinking lots of water. Gem - Good to hear from you, how are you, I know what you mean about Bel I'm now very concerned. Dolly - Stay positive, I have posted you on your thread, rest now and contact the clinic. Julie - Good luck for Tuesday hope you get lots of nice eggies. Hayley - try not to worry about AF pains I had them from ET till now I even woke up middle of the night because they were so bad. The pains are also a sign of pregnancy. I was so convininced it had not worked when the clinic phoned I was so matter of fact until they said positive I even rang back to check. Traci - hope things are well for you Hope you had a nice nice in Weymouth. Love Vicki B xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hayley - really sore boobs are a v.good sign for pregnancy. the pains in your stomach may also be anxiety related so do try and relax - go and buy some nice aromatherapy candles and a relaxation tape and a trashy novel/magazines and just put your feet up and treat yourself like you are pregnant from now until 2ww. this is what i tried to do. sorry about the sister-in-law thing - I have been through the same thing with mine - we went up to see the new baby on the day that I really thought we wouldn't have any embies left to put back in. traci - not long now for you!! yous till going to test on Wed? Jules - best of luck for ec tomorrow!! beckym xxx

Jules 11 Follies Brilliant I will be thinking of you tomorrow when I am back at work . Hayley Great news about Embies and to get some frozen too what a bonus, I am feeling a bit despondant today as I did a test (I KNOW ITS TOO EARLY) but I just had to so now I am preparing myself for the worst I will test on wednesday then on Friday like they told me to . Vicki Im so pleased for you well done

Traci- you are so naughty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told you not to test early as it would just upset you and would not be accurate. When I tested last week on day 16 post transfer the line was still quite faint so there is no way it is going to show that early!!! You are still only on day 12 post transfer!! Lisa had a huge hcg reading (prob twins!!) and even she did not show when she went home and did the hpt on day 12. Traci, my advice - get on the train, go to London and get an hcg blood test done privately. then you can know tomorrow as I know it is agony waiting. all my love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxbeckym xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lisa Ch · Post by **Lisa Ch** » Mon Nov 24, 2003 8:37 pm

Traci - how many times do we have to tell you!!!! I agree with Beckym go and get a blood test, look what happened to me. Good luck x Beckym - I read that!!!! twins indeed. Hayley - please don't get to worried about af pains, my pains were exactly like them and kept me awake a couple of nights. My boobs were/are also really sore. Feel like I have boulders up my jumper!! Jules best wishes let us now what happens. Love and PMA to you Lisa xx

Traci You naughty girl what have we told you, its not worth getting yourself upset with a negative when you could be pregnant, I'd Convinced myself I was negative because of those tests and my AF pains. These last few days are the worst. Thinking of you Love Vicki X

Hi Girls, Hope everyone is doing OK. I had EC yesterday, eventually ended up with 8 eggies. Clinic rang today and of the 8 7 were suitable for injection (we are having ICSI) and of those 7 5 have fertilised. We are over the moon as last cycle we only had 2 eggs fertilised so at least this time we should have some frosties as back up (not that we will need them PMA PMA PMA!) All being well ET is tomorrow afternoon. EC was quite painful this time round, far more so than I remember the last cycle being and I am still having quite a lot of discomfort. Clinic have advised me that this is due to internal bruising and to keep drinking plenty of water (at least 3 litres a day!) Not looking forward to ET tomorrow as I personally find this the most uncomfortable part of the treatment. My clinic is currently running a trial whereby the embryos are transferred back using ultrasound guidance as they hope to prove that this increases the success rate however it also means them pressing on your full bladder while poking around downstairs as well. Not pleasant but hopefully worth it in the end. Hayley - how are you going on the dreaded 2WW? Traci - naughty girl testing early, make sure you hold out till Friday now! Lots of love to everyone else, are us three the only OCBs left to test now? Take Care Love Julie xx

Dolly · Post by **Dolly** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 4:35 pm

Hi Everyone, Julie, well done.. that is fantastic news. I had my ET with ultrasound guidance as well and at one point they asked me to cough (something to do with opening the cervix) ... well let me tell you it is difficult to cough with your legs akimbo when you are dying for a pee!! Good luck tomorrow. Hayley, I hope the 2WW isn't proving too stressful. I have to say this time I thought it was the longest 2 weeks of my entire life. Love to everyone Dolly

Hayley Wilkinson · Post by **Hayley Wilkinson** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 6:19 pm

Hi Girls This 2WW business is driving me nuts. Today my mum and sister's took me out for lunch, we had a really nice afternoon. I have been feeling really tired and cold today, which I know is not a good sign, I get like this before a period. DH has become as paranoid as me, everytime I call him he thinks it is because AF has started. I keep getting up during the night to go a wee, 3/4 times, is this normal or is this cos I am worrying. Well at least tomorrow I will be half way there. Jules - Snap, same amount of eggs fertilised as me, good luck for tomorrow, I am sure you will be fine. Let us know how you get on. Then we will both be on this dreaded journey together. Vicki - Glad to hear you are feeling better. I do hope my symptoms will mean the same as yours. Dolly - Hope you are OK. Totally agree with you I have never known time to go by so slowly. Do try not to stress myself out but I do have to try and keep myself busy by reading, watching TV etc, otherwise I do find myself thinking about it to much. Traci - I agree with the rest of the girls, you are very naughty. Have posted on other thread, wish you all luck in the world for Friday. Becky - Am taking on board what you said and am determind to stay relaxed and try to be positive. How are you feeling, have you had any nausea yet? LisaC - Am glad I am not the only one who has been woken up during the night with pains, puts my mind at rest that you and Vicki were the same. When do you go for your scan? LisaP & Gem - Hope you are both OK. Love Hayley XX

beckym · Post by **beckym** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 7:06 pm

Jules - best of luck for et tomorrow. you'll finally be on the dreaded 2ww. Hayley - being really tired and going to the loo lots during the night is a good sign!! I was absolutely whacked during the second week of my 2ww and have to go the loo at least 3/4 times a night - poor dh!! do you test on 4th dec? traci - hope you've been a good girl today. Come on OCB's!! let's have another 3 positives (which would, by the way, make my prediction of 10 OCB positives come true!!). beckym xxx

Lisa Ch · Post by **Lisa Ch** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 9:04 pm

Hi everyone Julie good luck for tomorrow, hope e/t is better than e/c and that your 2ww goes over quickly. Hayley - my first scan is your test date, I think, the 4th Dec - heres hoping its good news all round. Traci - praying its a big fat positive for you on Friday. Take care Love Lisa x
