[smattison]

Wow SONYA!!! That is absolutly terrific news....how do you feel??? Are you cramping at all?? I am cramping and my back hurts. I did not feel this way last time. I was fine after transfer. We did assisted hatching this time and my doc said the last lady he did it for and transfer 3 of the same quality embies as me is pregnant with triplets right now...LOL scary...but I will take whatever God gives me. I am so happy for you and it gives me hope!!!

[nimble]

thanks guys - feeling much better now - my friend has just been round so had another lil cry and out of system, so on wards and upwards - just been one of those days!! No more bleeding either

Have also decided not to test early - well thats the decision at this moment in time may think differently tomorrow!

Nicky darling sorry missed yr on messenger - left the pc on !! Yes you can still qualify for NHS even if you have had private - well certainly in our area as long as you haven't had more than 3 private goes.

Sha - our DH's eh - the probably deserve medals for emotional endurance!!

Sonya - so pleased for you honey, really am

Marcia - well done on the embies and good luck on the ET

Anie - sounds like you have some real winners there - good luck on ET.

Mama - you're a crazy girl !! Totally respect you for doing the HPTs braver women than me!!

Mama, think you probably tested to early when was you ET again? Best of luck chicken xxx

Sonya, You naughty little addict - why am I not supprised! How many days after ET are you? Jacket coming up, but only available in Salmon, Mustard or Avocado!

Marcia, fab news well done and good luck for ET.

Nimble, flipping watering cans, who'd have them in the garden - they can't be trusted!!!! Remember spotting can be a good sign. Stay strong honey you are nearly there. Chanting PMA PMA PMA BFP for you. Great news about NHS xxx

Kia, try and remember no marital relations for the first six months! If you get to carried away by thought of bed jacket try having a large Snowball and a smoke to calm you down. No tea though!

Anie, horrible being put back - but you will have a day less waiting on the other side and the older they are the less chance of the wandering off. Best of Luck xxx

The Ostermilk Mother and Baby Book

A guide to good mothercraft 1969

"A well-designed maternity belt should now take the place of your usual girdle or roll on. It should give firm support below the abdomen but not compress the waistline. Most stores specialising in maternity wear stock them. Nuring brassieres, with each cup opening separately, can also be obtained."

hey guys - its not good news I don't think - the bleeding got heavier last night just as I was going to bed so much that I had to use a tampon and then this morning the cramps and bleeding were much worse so being realistic without having to do a test its probably over for us. I will still do the test to make sure but this is def AF no doubt about it - the signs were there all weekend, the sweating nights, the mood swings and the tears.

I'll let you know how the test goes but we are not hoping for anything except to see the BFN.

Thankfully we have the opportunity to go through this one last time with the NHS option so tomorrow will be on the phone to the clinic to see when I can start again - as they say, might as well get back on that horse as quickly as possible eh!!

Q: I guess i will pick avocado! I will be hot all huge and prego and slathered in green!!!! I cant help it Q I am an POAS(pee on a stick) addict. It is a disease. I am trying to get help! Maybe we need an intervention. I took another test this morning.(BFP woo) I am now 7 days past ET. I have been getting a positive since 5dp5dt.

Steph: I was having major cramps in my lower abs. I read that that is my ligaments tightening to keep the uterus stable. Sorry you are having back pain. But it sounds like a good sign!! How crazy would triplets be?? Crazy and fun! It is in Gods hands now! Are you going to test?

XOXO
Sonya

[nimble]

Sonya no wasn't on the lovely pressies - i had HCG shots - I had one on day of transfer and then another 3 days later - apparently this is what my clinic prefers to give however due to most women being prone to OHSS they give out the progestorone pressies but as I only had 6 eggies then obviously not likely to develop OHSS.

Anyway being surfing the net this morning looking at other possible clinics but think we may have to stick the one we have due to the nhs funding but one can only ask!!

And I'm so pleased for you too - you really deserve the BFP!!

[nicolamark]

first of all, JAckie. I am so sorry that AF turned up last night!!! But you seem to have been very positive and looking fwd to the future!!!!

I have HUGE risk of OHSS ad now i am so scared!!!!

I have now 30 something follicles... an the largest at 27mm.....No wonder i am so bloated, i can hardley walk!!!

I am waiting for clinic to get back to me this arvo with the time to take my last trigger shot, and all being well, depends on my E2 levels i will trigger very early hrs of tues morning and EC wed eve.....However like i say depending on E2 levels i may have to coast, until friday!!
Needless, to say i am now very scared ad worried. So sitting here with feet up on sofa!!
Ive got eat high protien, which is hard when u are vegitarian like me, so i am worried now tha because i am veggie i will most likely get OHSS. just had baked beans on toast with grated cheese and i'll have to eat somemore later!!!

Dh is very worried too, doesnt know what todo with himself......

I will post some more when i gt the phone call......

[MISSPIGGY]

well done Nicki with all the follys.
DONT FORGET TO DRINK ALOT OF WATER.

[nicolamark]

the clinic have called, i have to 'coast'now!! and wait!!!
Going for more bloods 2moro.


I am so wrried about the cycle being cancelled, there is a risk of tht now!!!
I am paraying my E2 levels go down now!!!

Looks like EC will be fri... i hope so anyway..... god i hope i dont have to freeze and ET nxt month.....

Why has this happened to me???

[nimble]

Nicky - good luck with your bloods tomorrow - I'm sure you will be fine and you'll be having your eggies out in no time. I will be thinking of you.

As for me, did the hpt and negative as thought - we are knocked for six, I think we were both so positive that it would work, everything looked so good, so it does go to show that you can do everything right and still its not meant to be.

As we still have a couple of days off (as we were testing on wed) we have decided to go away tomorrow for a couple of days to get our heads around it all and plan the next steps.

thank you everyone for all your support, I seriously couldn't have gotten through the whole cycle without you guys - I will be back to check on my 2ww buddies to see how your getting on in a few days.

[MamaCardenas]

Nimble - So sorry to hear your news hang in there only two more days till testing maybe there is still a chance I’ve heard a lot of people say they bleed and still get a BFP and with pregnancy you get a lot of the same symptoms as your AF!! I’ll be thinking PMA PMA PMA for you !!!!

Just curious what is NHS option? I see a lot of people who’s insure covers this, I work at a great hospital and I have great insurance however I was told none of this was covered DH and I paid $12,000 all out of pocket and that doesn’t seem right especially now that I’m seeing how many others were covered by insurance or at least partly covered???



Nicolamark- Your doing the right thing get your feet up and try not to worry about anything, I had 34 eggs taken out day of retrieval and I was at risk too my belly was huge I felt so bloated I honestly looked a few months prego I was SO scared and it hurt to walk it hurt to do a lot of things, I am also a vegetarian but eat lots of cheese, nuts, beans, eggs, any kind of eggs I had eggs everyday for breakfast and then hard boiled throughout the day to snack on!! Whole grains, milk, peanut butter, spinach, rice, corn, peas…hope that helps, My clinic recommended to mix half water and half Gatorade because too much water is not good either ( I don’t know why , that’s just what they said) but I did the mix thing and rested and it worked for me, but it will still at least a week after retrieval before all the swelling went down so be prepared!! I was worried about them canceling my cycle too and I just told them that was not something I wanted to do and I talked to the embryologists and she said they wouldn’t cancel my cycle they would just monitor me more closely so it ended up fine, but call and let them know your concerns I know we sit around and stress about these little things SO much but a simple phone call might ease your fears. Good luck
What is your E2 level?? I don’t really understand why they are making you wait even longer when you’re more then ready now, I’m confused??


As for me…. I took 3 test this morning and got BFP on all of them!!!! I still don’t want anything to go wrong so we havn’t really said anything, and Im scared for some reason that those tests are wrong, I know weird but it just doesn’t seem real yet??? SO Thursday we are getting the negative or positive from our clinic and then Friday we will get our beta numbers , SO Im patiently waiting until Friday but still keeping in mind YAY Im pregnant!!!!!

[sokru8]

Nick: I am soo sorry about the risk of OHSS. Drink lots of water!!! Get some rest. Thoughts of you I hope you make it to your ec on Friday. My dh is so stressed out also. The waiting game really takes a toll. XOXO

[sokru8]

Mama: You bad lil POAS addict! What wondeful news! Wooo Hoo! Only 3 more days until your offical! Fingers Crossed! What did your dh say?


Marcia: How was your ET? Welcome to the 2ww!
Annie: hope your ET went great!
Can't wait to hear from you both!
