Jo - Congratulations girl !! Well done !!

Hi Jen - Thanks for the welcome back. You're right, this Cetrotide is much easier in terms of timescales. A little too fast if anything ? It seemed we'd just decided to cycle when we were up for EC ! I agree re the DR/headaches. Last cycle the Buserelin did give me almost daily headaches (although first 2 cycles, not - strange ?). I always seem to get away with the bruising. Probably due to the ROLLS of flab available. Oh well, I keep moaning about it, but never actually stop eating those cream cakes. Thanks for the well wishes - only another 10 (!!) sleeps to go. I've seen your news re funding on the other thread, and I'm really pleased for you. It's just perfect timing ... 3 months to get healthier and make super fit spermies. Lovely !!

Hello 2ww ladies! Thanks Sandra for checking in all of us. I hope everyone is hanging in there!

My ET was on Thursday so I guess that makes today Day 6 for me too -- my moods go up and down. I have occasional twinges of cramps and my boobs are slightly tender (though not as much post EC). Most of all it's very, very hard not to obsess. I think the bed rest was the toughest though having access to all of you on this board was a saving grace.

Trying my best to keep myself busy and distracted. Wishing all of this week's tester's much luck! And sending all of you lots of positive thoughts.

Hi girls

just popping in to wish ALL OF YOU on the 2ww and I mean ALL, a very very big bucket load of sticky baby dust and sending a patrol of implanatation imps your way...

Sand and Randa - you are with me in my heart every day

Thought it might be helpful for you to know that in my first pg I had mega sore boobs, but had had them from the prep drugs (for donor trasfer so similar protocol to FET), and had a bHCG of 48 at ICSI+13, This time however with a slightly different protocol but similar drugs I had NO sore boobs, I mean not atall until about week 8 of pg in spite of mega nausea :shock: although my hcg was b380+ at ICSI + 14. The only symptom I had this time was some cramping in the last few days before testing (and I am menopausal so haven't had periods for 2 years) and nausea a bit like travel sickness in small short waves, so it just goes to show, even with the same person the symptoms can vary...

hope that helps..and hope you are ALL resting a lot to help your vlood flow, lying down on your left side is best when resting, and gentle walking is good excercise...also gets lots of oxygen in your blood..

big hugs and lots and lots of love

Ay, thanks BJ ... Even though we all kinda know there are no set symptoms / rules, it still helps to hear it from an expert ! :D

Love to you, and take care
