hi everyone, and hello claire! another tester for next week, wow there are loads of us! dawn, I take it you couldnt sleep seeing you posted so early!!! are you a little excited by any chance!!!!!!!!! Im still so excited for you,and it was the first time dh got excited about someone going through ivf becoming pg! I think it takes alot longer for the chappies to really understand how we all feel about tmt. Well in my case it has. the 1st attempt, dh was so distant and couldnt understand the stress and then the upset of af showing her horrible face. But he seems so much more understanding this time. so dawn, have you posted on the other side yet?! and how come you were able to test early dawn? Ive always been told not to test until day 14 after ET. did you have blasto? does that make a difference? hope the rest of the gang is ok! no early morning posting from you today kat!are you having a well deserved lie in?!!! take care buddies lots of love kathryn x

Morning everyone, and welcome Claire! Well, I managed a marathon sleep last night from midnight til 9.30, with no bad dreams (incidentally one night during the week I had a rather improper dream about someone at work, so its no all been pregnancy and periods!) so feeling better today. I am so in two minds about doing a home test. If its not positive I really want to know before Monday. On the other hand, I'm worried that just by buying an HPT I'll bring AF rushing in - now that's not rational is it?! Perhaps I should just get it over with! Kathryn - blasto's are different, cos they're that bit more developed when they go back in you don't have to wait so long. My clinic says 10 days post e/t for blastos, 12 for normal embies (but they do a blood test and tell you not to do an HPT). Anyway, that's all from me. DH is just back from the shop (we'd run out of tea bags - just shows how my mind's been on other things!) so time for breakfast and the papers! Have a good weekend everyone, and let's all keep hoping that Dawn's +ve is the first of a record-breaking week! Love Alison x

Well, just to update you, I've done a very bad thing! I went out and bought a HPT and used it - and it was -ve. I'm now kicking myself for doing it - its only 8 days since they put the things back in, but I just thought maybe it would show! Anyway, I'm certainly not going to be repeating the test - will just wait til Monday now. And also not going to tell DH who told me not to test when I told him this morning I was tempted (I never did promise to obey!) Anyway, let my folly be a lesson to anyone else who's thinking of a sneaky early test! Alison x

Sorry Guys - I didn't see your new thread and posted on the old one...!! Becky mentioned that her embryos were 5 and 6 cells - I mentioned on the other board that 2 out of 3 of my leftover embryos stopped dividing 3 days after EC and I have managed to convince myself that the 2 they replaced must have also stopped. One thing that I noticed was that they didn't mention the grades of the embryos and the two they replaced were 4 cell - should they have been more advanced than that? If I carry on like this - it is going to be the longest 2ww ever! I must try and snap out of it... Love Dolly

Alison, you are a BAD GIRL !!!what have you been told about testing too early? It WILL be positive next time you test if you leave it till the right day (hark at me giving it out - I'll be a wreck by Friday) Kathryn - yes I did have a lie in although I was awake at 6.30 and couldn't get back to sleep for ages. Lay there trying to visualise my little embie growing strong and fell back to sleep again till 8.00 Lots of love, Kat xxx

ALISON!! youre so naughty!! I hope it hasnt worried you. Remember that lots of the pg girls who were naughty like yourself, tested ++++++++ on the right day to test! you havent got long to go now. thanks for putting me straight on the blastos alison! Hi Dolly, read your other thread. Try no to worry about your embies and how their dividing. I must admit Im not sure how mine were dividing, its all a blur, except they were good uns, but they didnt say much else that I can remember. If the clinic werent happy they would have abandoned, plus theres no better place for an embie than back inside its mummy! so Im sure theyll be fine. If youre really worrying, ring your clinic just so they help put your mind at rest, they wont mind. stressing isnt a good thing for your little embies! take care all kathyrn x Im becoming worryingly more addicted to this site than ever! Thankfully chicken (my dh) has gone county broad band, so the phone line doesnt get clogged , leaving the site on all day for a little check here and there! Am I getting sad?!

Alison, you really are a very naughty girl, testing way too early, I thought I was bad but you are so much worse! Well, have done another test (different brand) and it is also positive, even my sign is weak, but it is there, so that is all I care about! The brand you can use slightly earlier is called First Response, and is in a white and pink box - not that any of you will be needing that! Had a lovely day and have told those very close to me, my Mum and my brother and sister-in-law, well, they have been through this whole thing with us and mopped up the tears in the past so thought it only fair to share the good news with them!! Still taking it easy and have the week off next week too, am really happy about that. I haven't posted over the other side, like Alison I am scared it will tempt fate, so will wait until I feel right about it - is that weird?? Thinking of you all again, my head is all over the place so will come back and read all your individual goings on tomorrow! ++++ vibes and all that! D x

Have we lost some of this thread or have I finally lost the plot? Still feeling crap by the way, how's everyone else? Managed only to cry twice at work today which was a minor miracle. If this was someone else posting I'd be telling them to think positive but it doesn't work when I tell myself. Kat xx [Edited by Kat on 28-Jul-03 10:56]

Hi Kat, Some of the thread has disappeared and the clock is off too! Shall we start a new fresh one for this week ? Maybe it will make us feel better? Had some cries myself as it looks like AF has appeared. Why is this on time !? I am chronically late and only this is ever 100% punctual ! Sods law. Now for a little rant ! My mother called earlier and bluntly asked ' so are you pregnant or not ?' I told her no definite news yet and to please not ask as it stresses me if she takes to asking. Her "understanding " response was 'Surely a mother can ask these things and why was I being so difficult ? I suppose she has a point but then she launched into how these hormone swings are just like menopause and so she knows how it feels and now she was going to hang up because I was being unreasonable and no point in talking to me! Whatever! but do I need this at this point in time? Well hang in there Kat,we will get thru this one way or the other!
