THANK YOU!!!!!

PS GOSH I AM SOOOO EMOTIONAL!!!!
FCB's new thread
ReganKate.....total and utter SNAP!!! how on earth do we know what's really going on when the hormones we are taking either mimic and/or suppress any real symptoms? I have no freakin' idea how I really feel. I read everything too but am not sure that helps. The more I read, the more conflicting information I have. It seems that during the 2WW you can feel nothing at all OR spot and have AF signs OR have twinges and sore boobs....all or any of which can mean you can still get a positive or a negative. I know because of my temper that I'm slightly (ROFL) more tense than normal...I think DF runs to work midafternoon in glee. By the time he's back at midnight I'm tired and less likely to bite his head off.....The stupid thing is I've had a +++ after a 2ww in 2002 but can't remember anything about how I felt during it.
Don't worry about not having more eggs at the moment, with lots of luck and Traci's lucky candles...you won't need them. Lots of people are first time lucky with IVF.

Debra,
I am sooooo happy to finally hear someone who is in the same boat as me!!!
Are you on Projesterone??? Or something similar??
I now am experiencind awful back pain. If I am sitting somewhere for too long it aches soooo badly!!
Like you mentioned in another post you said you were feeling lower abdominal aches. Are they still there? I am day nine and started to feel that also. Still no AF cramping though.
And EXTREAMLY MOODY!!!!!
Anything helpful that maybe your Doctors have told you??
Thanks for your support!!!!!

Loopy....nice posh frock! where were you that you could have a sleeveless dress on in early March? was there a freak heatwave or were you freezing for the sake of glamour????
Two bits of cake huh....I guess that's mine gone then....I think Traci and I have both made it more than clear that we expect small boxes of crumbs to arrive in the post asap! I'm such a hog at the moment, I even ate DF's leftover Christmas marzipan this week...
.I don't like the stuff at all......

Hi Everyone
Dizzy, so sorry to hear your news, at least like me youve got frosties.
Grandma, sorry to hear about your daughter, just try to stay positive, although that is difficult just after a negative result.
July Ann, how was Crufts.
Hope the rest of you on the 2ww are taking it easy and keep visualising those little embies implanting.
I would have had my test tomorrow if things hadn't gone so wrong with my endometriosis and I've just had the worst af of my life, I spent about 30seconds contemplating not going back on the pill and just seeing what might happen but its a bit of a catch 22, when a pregnancy would not only give us what we want but also maybe help my periods but you can't really try without the pill for long as the pain is so bad. Still back to having a life for a while, starting a new job in 2 weeks and booked a holiday to Italy in June, then a frozen cycle in August and hopefully no horrible periods for at the next 3 months.
Enough of my moaning. Thinking of you all
Wendy

Hi gals,
Wendy, was so lovely to hear from you. I have endo as well, is a complete ******* of a thing. Enjoy your time between now and starting your new cycle in August. Have you had a FET before?, its a breeze compared to full blown IVF, less appointments, less drugs, less injections and no sniffing!.. Look forward to hearing your positive news later in the year!
Debra - Know what you mean about forgetting the pre-pregnancy "signs" I had a positive in October of 2003 (ended in m/c unfortunately) and have absolutely no recollection of what I experienced when. My counsellor (I have been seeing since the m/c) talks about living in the moment, and not being caught up or drowning in the emotions of the past, is quite difficult at times, but we'll get there Deb!
Lou - Your photo is v. glam!, were you freezing in that frock though???..my recollection of the UK at this time of the year is that the weather is just awful
ReganKate- You're a bit of a stressor love, I have been the same though, but you do need to stress less. My feeling is that implantation has either occurred or not, stressing about it will not help (you may need to remind me of this if af rears her ugly head before my test day!)
July anne - How was the doggy show?
Angelina- Good luck for egg collection today!
Am signing off girls, time to go to work!
Am day eight today, still feel nauseous, but am sure that this is the HcG shot yesterday, otherwise feel completely normal.
Chat sooooooooon

ReganKate, I've no back pain (although I've read that other FCBs do), my lower ab feel heavy and bloated, no other word for it. I'm in sweat pants and they are getting more uncomfortable by the day. I've spent so long wondering about it that I've forgotten how a normal AF would feel. I fully expect it (AF) tomorrow, can't think why else I would feel like this. No tenderness elsewhere, no tiredness (Loopy, do you usually need naps?) although have had a crappy week's sleep so that may all be a bit mixed up. Re. meds...I'm on 3 x day Progynova (estrogen replacements) and daily pessary Crinone (progesterone). Both of which will carry on for a while if it's a ++++. I hope I get over/used to the moodiness and the snapping. I've thrown a few things this fortnight, not at anyone and nothing fragile but that's not normal for me at all. Through good or bad timing I will have my busiest working month in over 2 years from mid-March. Hopefully I won't have time to think, no matter what happens this week.
I know Delaware is pretty tiny, compared to most US states. Did you have a choice of clinic, or am I way offbase and you've a population of 100s of thousands? I've never stopped there, just seen it through a train window in 2001, we took a month's train holiday on the eastern half of the US and I was curious as I've worked for US parent financial companies, one of which was registered in Delaware for tax reasons.
Enough...it's 23.15 and I'm supposed to be working.....
love
Debra.

It's going to be ok in the end.Even if it's not ok....IT"S NOT THE END!!!
When ever I got a negitive we didnt stay in the house that night and watch tv cause you dont talk about it , we go out for a slap up meal and spend time together to grieve and talk about our feelings and it helps not being at home cause I find it feels like my nest and now it wont be needed. everyone is different but itan option
But Miricle you are NOT going to get a - PMAPMAPMA

There are so many of us testing this week. We did not do anything at Cruffts but had a fab day with all the other doggie people. I'm on day 11 of the 2wk and have no sore boobs af pains have gone and a sore back. This is what is like before my af comes. I had a really rude dream last night and that always happens before af.
well I'm lucky as i can try again in 2 weeks,
Good luck to all that are testing this week..
Traci good luch with the test...

Hi girls,
Susan - Good luck with your next scan.
Grandma - Sorry to hear your news. Its good your daughter wants to have another go so quickly and she has every chance being so young. I am sure it will work for her in the future.
Wendy - Sorry things didnt work out for you. Sounds like you have lots to look forward to - New job/Holiday and FET in August. Hope it all works out well for you.
Angelina - Hope EC went well today. Let us know how you get on.
July Ann - Glad you enjoyed your day at Crufts.
Loopy - Glad you enjoyed your hubbies 40th. Pics look good. You must have been frozen.
July Ann/Regan/Sophie Jane/Debra/Loopy/BelB/Miracle - Good luck in 2WW - Hoping for lots of +++++++results to make the FCBs a record month. I am getting a bit confused by symptoms. I dont really have any at all now (Day 6 today) and I dont know whether that is good or bad. I think really you cant tell until test day so trying not to get stressed about it.
Miracle - Good luck for your test tomorrow.
Love Allison

Hi, I think I'm finally allowing myself to think about getting a +++ on Thursday, I'm pessimistic by nature so it's easy for me to manage my expectations down.....DF on the otherhand is the world's most optimistic man, we make a fine pair.
I've been knicker-watching like mad today, I realised I'd cut down on my fluids so as to avoid loo-visits in the past week, not a smart move. I'm still feeling v. bloated and heavy. Slight backache but calm......I've been reading Traci's and Miracle's posts about going out on test night, no matter what, so we're off to see/hear a friend's violin solo in the orchestra. Not been before so seems like a good reason not to be at home and dwelling (oops, dropped into pessimism again).
Work starts tomorrow, I'm a trainer so no computer access nor many loo breaks + I'll be glad to be out of the house.
Hoping everyone is feeling well, happy and positive.
love
Debra.

Hi ladies,
Sorry I've been a bit quiet this past week. I have been checking in to see what you are all up to tho.
Dizzy & Grandma...I am so sorry about your news...next time will have to be your turn
Miracle I'm sure your spotting is just there to test you... and you'll have a great big +ve this week.
Sophie Jane - it is wierd that we who had et on 29 Feb all have different test dates! Mine is a hpt and should be on the Sun 14 March but as dh is away we're waiting until the Monday... if I can wait.
Regankate... I had no embies to freeze either... we only got one egg but hopefully we wouldn't need to go back for the fet anyway cos it's going to work for both us with what we have!!
I've had a bit of a wierd week too. It's so bizarre (and unfair) that the side effects of the drugs are so similar to preg symptons. My boobs, especially my nipples are so painful and my tummy and back ache just like pmt. My tummy is so swollen I'm finding it hard to find things to fit... I spent the last year on a healthy eating diet and lost 2 and a half stone to increase chances of ivf +ve ... trouble is I chucked all my big clothes away and am left only with unattractive jog pants... not the best things for work!!!The worst side effect tho is that every night I have to get up for a pee twice a night. Not good for the nice relaxing sleep we should be having.
Hope everyone else is doing ok. Sorry if I haven't mentioned you... it's so hard to keep up if you haven't been on for a few days but I am thinking of you all.
Lots of PMA, luck and love

SO how is everyone feeling?? I am feeling a little bloated with not AF cramps at all!! Hopefully this is a good thing.
I am very tempted to go buy a HPT just for the hack of it!!!
My boobs are not hurting as much either though.
Debra- Yes Delaware is TINY!! I had only three Doctors to chose from. So I guess if it does not work this time I may try another one.
Ok So from all of you who told me to RELAX, I started to. I am starting to get a better feeling about everything. I know I stress but I want this sooo badly, along with tyhe rest of you!!!
So did anyone test today??? Did anyone cheat and get a HPT???
Thank you to all who have made this journey a lot easier!!!
I have all my fingers crossed for all of you!!!!
LOVE
