IM sitting here having had NO sleep last night worrying that she wont get there on time or she forgot to take the HCG injection on time Etc Etc , It is now going to be a stressfull couple of days , its weird not going through this bit relying on other people to do it for you , I feel sorry for her having to go through it too, We have not talked for 2 weeks as she was getting too stressed and couldnt talk to me , at the moment she is just about to pack up her house and move into her in laws She has packed in her job giving 9 weeks notice as they are emergrating in January , and her work fellows arnt being kind to her as she is leaving so with 2 children and a clinic that does bloods seporate to scans and always early in the morning or late at night (tea time !) twice a visit through rush hour she is fully charged and I AM NOT HELPING so we decided to comunicate through email to cut down on stress for her , she is also making her way to the hospital on her own with a friend and asked to see me after it has all taken place, all I keep telling myself is that she wouldnt have offerd or said yes if she didnt want to do it .anyway I have an hour to kill before I get ready and then we leave for the clinic , Cam has to be there at 12.00 and Mandy should be there at 11.15 I am going to wait in the car untill he has given me the ok that she has gone through. I cant wait till today is over. Sorry just needed to have a blow out!!!!! or Ill go mad. Trace x Good luck Gem and Lisa

Love Vicki

Hi everyone Traci - you are such a brave and positive person. reading your post made me cry. you have gone through so much for this and it must be so hard having to trust someone else to get it right for you as you lose even that slight sense of control that sniffing, taking injections etc gives you. no wonder you are a nervous. you have every right to be. I'm sure that Mandy still very much wants to do this for you as she knows what a special person you are and what a great mum you will be. If I had the quality eggies I would do this for you and I'm not even related!! gem - looking forward to hearing from you this afternoon. by now they will be carrying out the test I suppose. Lisa P - you ok? I am getting ready for what I will do if my result is negative on saturday. this is in no way negative mental attitutde as I still hope it will work but a realisation that I don't want everything to crash down on me if it doesn't and and not have a plan. Guess I'm a bit of a control freak! So far I have got as far as: book train tickets to France for Xmas and New Year (staying with family and friends); book Pingu into cattery; book follow-up appt with Mr T to find out date when we can start trying again; buy myself something really nice at the shops; eat a really good bar of chocolate; buy a bottle of my favourite Californian Zinfandel wine. had a real blast from the past yesterday. My first boyfriend phoned. We lived and went out together for 3 years (from when I was 20-23) and I last saw him 10 years ago. He phoned my family home first and mum says he sounded a bit shocked that I had got married!! what are they like? anyway, had a chat with him which was a laugh but poor old dh was not a happy bunny. I could see him prowling around in the background trying to listen in, then he asked me afterwards whether he should be worried. what a sweetie! I think he's feeling very vulnerable at the moment as he feels this is all his fault but I tried to cheer him up. have any of you had this happen? it's really quite unnerving after such a long time. can't help feeling I should try and pare him up with one of my single friends or is that too naughty!? beckym xxx

Girls Can you tell me, do you know of anyone on this site who has had success on their first attempt, or is it very rare. Love Hayley x

Lisa and Gem - have left you both a message on your thread. What is going on with the OCBs? So far we have had NOT ONE English positive out of the core 22 OCBs with only 7 of us left to test including Traci, Jules and Hayley at the end of the month!!! We have had 2 aussies (on the same day)and a Welsh positive. This is unheard of!! Statistically at least 10 of us should get positives in total and my statistics have been spot on for March and September. Is there something in the drinking water at the moment? maybe the embies don't like the cold weather? Or will Wed be a double positive? I b**** well hope so else I will start to pull my hair out. Come on OCBs!!! Let's have a few Xmas pressies please!!! I have just come back from a trip to homebase with my mum to design my new kitchen. They have a massive sale on at the moment. The chap who did the design was so slow and just like Alan Partridge!! Was trying hard not to laugh. Had a late lunch at 2:30 which i can normally deal with but this time I really thought I might faint from lack of food. Is this normal because of the progesterone or could this be a good sign? I am at grasping at straws time with only 5 days to go. Then every hour or so I feel as if af has arrived, dash to the loo and find it is only clear discharge (sorry!!), the same you would get if you were ovulating. i can't be ovulating again can I, as I only had the profasi over a week ago?!! bel, Nikola, Jacky T did you get any of these symptoms? beckym xxx

Hi everyone can't seem to have any positive thoughts at the moment, so many neg results. The odds just don't seem in our favour. Wendy are you having a blood test on Wed?? Traci hope you are feeling a bit better, maybe Mandy is a bit hormonal (I know I am!!) and just wants to do some things her way. I am sure she won't change her mind, try not to worry to much. Best wishes for e/t will be thinking of you. Just got to go and mash potatoes for tea, back soon L x

hayley forgot to add to my analysis - one of those three OCB +vs was a first-timer (Kate W) and in SCBs they had at least one first timer (Val). beckym xxx

Becky your an absolute wonder how do you remember all that? I forget what day of the week it is sometimes! Anyway it is a bit disappointing that we havn't got many positives. I was just wondering if I'm actually the first to have 2 cycles in in the OCB's?? My first test date for IUI was OCT 24th and my next NOV 20th so a bit odd! Hope everyone is doing OK big hugs Aly xx p.s My clinic doesn't do any blood tests at all during the cycle is this a bit strange?

Traci · Post by **Traci** » Mon Nov 10, 2003 9:10 pm

Hi Lisa Ch Yes I have a blood test Wednesday morning between 8.30 & 9.30, then I phone later for the result. Is that the same with you? Not sure what to think now about the result, 50/50? I think though if it hasn't worked I'd rather bleed before as it just makes it slightly less difficult to deal with a negative result, thats what happened on my first cycle but on my second I was late in testing as the hospital moved locations in between and I had no bleed so was sure it worked and was devestated with the result. Hopefully we will be the positives that you so often hear about. Good luck Hear from you Wednesday. Wendy

Traci · Post by **Traci** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 9:05 am

Wendy Only 24 hours to go !!! are you at all tempted to do a test ? This is my 3rd attempt at ICSI and I think I will test the morning of the blood test cause It will be easier to handel if I semi know! My Parents are helping us pay for this Treatment and I feel that if it ends up negative then I will feel terrible for them , Bless them they have paced up and down with worry all though this cycle as much as I have . Only 5 Hours to go for me I am a nervouse reck , I guess the worry with my cousin not talking to me afterwards has given me cause to worry unessesarily, all sorts are going through my head Anyway Best of luck for tomorrow and I will light my lucky candel for you tonight Trace x

beckym · Post by **beckym** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 11:08 am

Traci best of luck with your embies. what do you mean re the 5 hours? is this when you find out how they have done or when et is? I am now on constant knicker alert. Have never got this far in 2ww as last time I knew I wasn't pregnant in first week when I was in hospital with ohss as hcg levels were going down instead of up. Am getting cramping again on the rhs similar to what I got at the start of the 2ww - almost like trapped wind or indigestion. Boobs are very veiny as well, which i'm told is a good sign, but who knows? We didn't have great embies (they were very slow growing -only made 4-cell on day 3) but I know that Nikola also didn't have great embies and she got pg so maybe there is hope?!! Am so tempted to test now but know if it was a +ve it might only be picking up the Profasi injection and if it was a -ve I would be none the wiser. Four days to go!! beckym xx
