Hello,
I am not really good at replying personally to each person. Most of the time someone else has already said exactly what I am thinking. I suppose we all start thinking the same after dealing with this issue together.
I do want to say how my heart goes out to Wendy. I remember how hard my first AF was after treatment, and I did not even miscarry. Stay strong!

Here is the link about boys vs. girls
http://www.dreamababy.com/blastocyst-et ... an%20Girls?
I have to hope that because my little embies took 6 days to go to blast that they are just little girls that needed that extra time to make sure everything was just right before making an appearance.

I am working very hard at having hope!
I hope every one is getting along well. Good luck to all the ladies on the 2WW. Try to stay sane!

OH NO... I've got AF pains already - it is going to be a LONG LONG 7 days... I was doing really well so far keeping my mind on other things.... !!!!! :evil: :evil:

On a positive note - a girl I work with got a +ve last Thursday. She has had 3 previous FETs and this was her first fresh go (she had to freeze the last time due to some complications at ET). Her first beta came back as 1053 at 16 DPT... how amazing is that - I have never heard of a first number being so high... maybe its twins!!!

Hope you're all well.

Hi Ang,

I had totally forgotten the torture of the 2ww.... this last week has been a total breeze while I was out and about enjoying myself - now I'm back at work I think I might go nuts!

This is my 3rd 2ww and I can honestly say you are right - you will never know one way or the other until test day. On my first cycle - I had no AF pains at all, really sore boobs, bleeding from 10dpt and a -ve hpt. On the 2nd had AF pains, really sore boobs, bleeding from 10 dpt and got a +ve (but m/c at 8 weeks).

Do you test next Thursday?

yep Dolly i test next thursday the 9th you test on the friday just one day later think thats right we have followed each other all the way thro this cycle lets hope we can both get the BFP'S we deserve
this is my first 2ww and i do have to admit when i used to read on here that this was the hardest part i used to think how can it be when by the 2ww all drugs have stopped and everything and your over EC but now im here god its soooooo true this is the hardest bit and i thought EC was tuff i'd much rather be going through that again than waiting like this its pure torture any way think iv gone on just a little bit again hehehe
one thing is for sure without all the girls on here theres no way i would get through this

lots of love and +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++vibes to us all on the 2ww

love Ang xxx

Wendy,

I'm glad you are not in too much pain. I didn't realize you have other frosties - that's great! Nothing like frosties to make me feel hopeful! Thank you for your message, it really touched me and made me cry a little :oops: . I am so glad I've found the rest of you ladies. I haven't felt alone at all since I first posted here.

Dolly,

My GOSH, your friend's HCG was high. I definately think it is twins - I've never heard of such a high number! She must be over the moon!

Mia,

Thank you for sending all the links - they are fascinating! I tend to do a lot of online research, but I haven't had time to find these sites on my own, so thank you.

Good luck to Angela, Dolly, Jaye, Alison, Alette and Jools! Hoping for BFPs for all of you, and an easy 2ww (as much as possible). Mandy, hoping the news is good for you.

Hiya Girls

well its day 9 of my 2ww and i have a confession i have been at the HPT's again i got another faint positive but it was stronger then the one i did a couple of days ago i know the hcg injection could still be in my system but that was 2 weeks ago now that i had that so im hoping so much that all future HPT's i do just get stronger and stronger
i know im naughty but i just couldnt help myself

hope you are all well dolly hope you are coping with the 2ww ok and that your af pains have settled down are you using the pesseries cause i am and they are horrid im feeling a little icky from them and dizzy mostly at night tho
good luck to all on the 2ww and lots of love to everyone else
love Ang xx

Angela, tut tut..... I don't how long hcg stays in your system after the injection - but my guess would not be this long.... and if it is getting darker - then things look promising. I actually bought some First Responses today but I am going to try my best to hold out until Friday... but I know it is going to be hard!

I'm not doing pessaries - I have got the joy of gestone injections in my butt every other night... which don't hurt at all which I'm very surprised at.

Roll on 5pm - I feel pooped today!

Love to all

Hi teresa

oh i so hope you are right and that mine means i have a BFP im still a little unsure tho as i still have a few niggly aches and that not sure what they are or what they mean think many of them are because of the progesterone pesseries i also have sore boobs that could be the pesseries to or it could be a positive sign who knows im a little nervous about doing another test now im scared it will be negative this time

lots of PMA i think is what i need

traci its good to see you back hunny wow your cruise sounds like a lovely idea mmmmmm lets hope to that your fsh is lovely and low to and that you can use your eggs that would be great.

Dolly i bet your poopped hunny after a week back at work but in another way i guess feeling tired could be a good sign

love to you all
Love Ang xxx

What has happened to the ACBs? So, it's all about hpts now, is it? As the number of August cyclers dwindles, so does our self restraint, eh?

Angela, actually, it is very promising and I hope your hpts do continue to grow stronger +ve results. Dolly, we're all hoping for a BFP for you as well. Tired, is definately a good sign, I think. Let's finish the month off right! Let us know how you both come along!

Hi Guys, hope you're all well.

I am very proud of myself - I am 10 dpt and i didn't do a HPT this morning (I usually succumb to the temptation on day 10!!). I think it is mainly because I have got AF pains again and it feels like it is only a matter of time before the old witch turns up + plus my boobs arn't at all sore and last time when I got a +ve they were killing me.

Gayle - good luck for your test tomorrow.

Staci, hope everything is ok for you and your family in Florida. I was thinking of you when I watched the news last night.

Angela, how are you doing? Are you still doing HPTs? Not long now!

Love to all

Dolly

Hi Guys,

looks like I was right. Just been to the loo and there is a bit of bleeding. I know you can still get +ves after bleeding - but I having a feeling this is the beginning of the end for us. :cry: :cry:

Must try and cheer up a bit....

I know it is hard to be positive at a time like this.I am sending you lots of PMA and hoping for the best for you. Not long to wait until you test and it is only then you will know for sure.
Really hoping it is not the end for you, Take care,
Ellie
