Hi girls
Well Jemla survived to tell the tale again.

Was very nervous this morning and bloody cold in the hospital but after my anesthetic went in, i didn't remember a thing. I did get a bit tearful when i woke up as my DH told me we have 4 eggs. I am disappointed as i wanted to get more but hey at least i have 4 eh?

The doctor and embryologist said the 4 eggs are good and the cells in the follicles are really good quality so hopefully that's a good sign.
I have been quite relaxed about everything, except the injections but now i am quite worried incase they don't fertilize. We will find out tomorrow between 10-11am. I am praying all 4 will be good so they can choose the best 2.

But hey, what about that sedation. Fancy some of that on a regular basis, i didn't feel a thing-------great. My hand where they put the IV is swollen and feels worse that my tum!
We were told our eggs are being mixed with DH's sample at 4pm today so keep fingers crossed for my little embies to grow.

Glad you are all feeling a bit more positive and thanks for the good luck messages, it's great to have that support.

Lolo - I say we all meet up for a get together one day, that would be a blast eh?

Will let you know the results tomorrow.

Love to you all my gorgeous Buddies :wink:

Hi everyone.

I haven't been online much because my computer has been a bit rubbish, but I hope that you are all doing fine and that everything is going to plan.

For those of you that have had disappointments, my thought's are with you all.

Take Care.

:( and :lol:
Bit confused today and worried. The hospital rang early this morning to tell us we have two little embies to be put back in tomorrow at 08.30.

Am disappointed that all 4 didn't fertilized but one was not mature enough and the other had too much sperm in it??? Anyway the embryologist said 2 is fine and that she will be able to tell us more tomorrow there quality. So i am still worrying as i though we would find this out today. She feels it is good and said there is only a 5% chance the embies wouldn't be ok tomorrow, so that seems positive.

Sorry for moaning girls as i am usually quite relaxed but just feel it would have been better to have more embryos so they could have the pick of the best ones. Anyway 2 is better than none eh? we only need one and should be grateful for that.

Think of me tomorrow and cross everything for nice mature embies.

Take care and lots of love and a hug for all your support.

Love Jen xxx

Dear buddies

Jen - Well done. It's quality not quantity so your eggs are doing OK. You may feel a bit at a loss today before you go back in for your ET, tomorrow? But your little embies are being looked after. I was uncomfortable for a few days after EC and ET but that is normal. The important thing is to rest.

Stephanie - Only one more night to go. We've waited so long, today should be a breeze! Hope you're OK.

Will check in later.

Lots of love

Hello everyone.

Nes - It was good to hear from you. Hope you continue to do well and keep in touch with us.

Jen - Please don't worry. You need to stay as relaxed as possible and remember it only takes 1. We are here for you if you need some more moral support.

Camilla - Yes, we only have 1 more day to go. Your test will come sooner since you are several hours ahead of me. Wishing you the best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sending lots of baby dust.

Today is a holiday for us, so I am looking forward to a big turkey dinner (really lunch). Please don't worry if I don't post my results until late your time tomorrow. I won't find out until the afternoon here and I am out of town for the weekend, so may not be able to get to the computer right away. But believe me, after I tell my husband, you guys will be next in line. I am sooooooooo happy that I found all of you. Everyone has been great and I truly could not have dealt with this without all of you.

I will talk to everyone tomorrow.

Lots of love and big hugs,
Stephanie

My darlings

It's a BFP!! :D :D I'm lost for words! I know it's early days but I've come this far and I'll take care of my little one. My DH was really emotional this morning, well we both were. He had to go to work but will be home early. I phoned my mum first and she burst into tears. I had to go to the clinic to pick up some more progesterone meds, couldn't wait to get back to let you know and now I'm going to sit down and try and let it sink in! I don't think I could have done this without you.

Stephanie - Wishing and praying for you buddy.

Happy Thanksgiving Stephanie and Steph.

I shall check in later girls.

Love you all.

CAMILLA WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS.

It goes to show that all the side affects and twinges can mean positive things and not just negatives.

Stephanie - Hope you are ok and are also getting good news, will catch up later if you are about.

I had my ET this morning. Although i only had 4 eggs, two of them turned out to be good, healthy embryos and have developed well. What a relief as we have been holding our breath until the hospital could tell us if they were any good. Can't believe we are now on the dreaded 2ww but i am off work and will try to relax as much as possible. Since the injections started, the cycle seems to have gone so fast and strangely it hasn't been as bad as we anticipated.

Catch up with you all soon and a huge hug to you all for the support you have given us.

CAMILLA!!!!! WWWOOOOOOOO HHHOOOOOOO :D :D :D
I am so pleased for you!!!!!! Its so exciting!!!! Well done!!

Stephanie - will be checking in a bit later for your good news too sweetheart! Hope you are having a top Thanksgiving.

Jemla and her embies - REST! Thats an order!

Leigh Leigh Leigh this is worse than the official 2ww! (sorry Camilla). Only symptom is bigger boobs. Keep feeling them all the time to make sure they're still sore - dh giving me strange looks like I'm a pole dancer or something. Fat chance, have turned into an asexual lump since this started. Is normal you think?

Anyway, this just short, work is chaos, stay bright my favourite girls!!

Love to all,
Lola

Camilla - I posted on our test date thread but wanted to post here also. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I knew you could do it. This is so amazing and I am just thrilled for you :D :D :D :D :D

Jen - Rest lots over the next few days, more horizontal than vertical. We are here for you during your 2ww. It difficult but you will manage.

Lola and Leigh - Your U/S are due soon. Wishing you all the best news.

Steph and Little R - So glad to see you are feeling more positive these days. It takes time, but you will both get your little bundles of joy.

I had my blood drawn this morning and am waiting for the lab to call with the results. Won't be for another few hours :( , but I am still very hopeful. Today is DH's birthday, so I want this to be his present.

Lots of love and Big hugs to you all,
