Hi Girls,

Hope you are all staying postive today. Alison all the best for this afternoon 6 & 8 fantastic.

Well I'm trying to stay positively pesermistic if that makes any sense, staying on the cautious side don't want to get my hopes up.

Well after yesterday saying saying I'm sleeping no problem guess what what a broken noghts sleep i had last night, it must be that stage of the 2WW when it hits everyone. Got really sore boobs infact they woke me up last night when I turned over in bed, but they have been sore since day 8 of stimming they've just got 10 times worse, but there again they get sore every month when AF is due just not as bad as this normally. Also getting AF pains and strange pointy pains not sure what they are then nothing other than bloating. Not too long togo now.

PMA to everyone.

Love,

Jane

Jane

You hang in there and keep hold of all the PMA in the world. Not long to go thankfully. I know this is the hardest part, but you're doing really well.

Sending you tons of hugs

hi girls

Alison - so glad about the super embies

hope you found dh and that ET went smoothly. Now you should be resting - do what I say not what I do

Sorry about the sleepless night Jane, after all my advice yesterday guess who didn't sleep either???!!! Can identify with sore boobs when standing up fast or turning over in bed

I have bloating and pointy pains too, and I had no EC as I have donor eggs. I reckon it's the pessaries and the patches

New accupressurist was fantastic

there was a loud crinchy click at one moment, whatever was out is back in again and she is now treating the symptoms and the inflammation. She is seeing me on Thursday again. Great now, I have 2 good ones, the other one was always booked up, but they are both in the same practice so I should be able to get help when I need it...and I get 18 sessions a quarter paid by the insurance. I love Germany on days like this

So dh has started computer ban after 19.00 so that I rest my back, not supposed to sit really. Think I'll set up the lap top tomorrow so I can lie down and chat to you instead..

Eskavon, just 2 sleeps to go

did you see Anoushka piccy???

Love to you all on the 2ww, PMA and baby dust by the bucket load

Big J

The things you seem to be going through - though from the sounds of it something is happening

I can't wait to Thursday.

Sending you huge amounts of PMA, massive great big hugs and layers of Baby Dust floating towards you.

Now lie back and rest that back of yours

Thanks so much for your good wishes. This afternoon didn't go quite as planned.....

Got to the clinic in plenty of time (as you do) and then had to hang around for an absolute age, so long in fact that DH had to go and move the car as we were going to over run the parking metre (we'd have lived with a parking fine, but the embryologist said that a couple of weeks ago someone got towed while having e/t - can you imagine?!)

Anyway, inevitably the second DH went out the door it was time for e/t, so I went and lay down and the Dr started doing whatever it is they do down there in preparation which always makes me worry about whether my personal hygiene is up to the highest standards. Then the embryologist came in and they started having a whispered conversation across my thigh. Eventually the Dr explains that in the last half hour the two four cell embies had divided, so I now had one 8 cell and three 6 cells, and it wasn't possible to tell which were the best, so did I want to try for a day 5 transfer instead? I did what I felt was quite a reasonable impression of rational debate about the pros and cons of going ahead or leaving it, given I was lying there legs akimbo with the Drs head between my legs (oh, and had I mentioned I'm a bladder full for transfer girl...?!) but eventually said I had to discuss it with DH. He took an absolute age to get back, but when he did we decided to wait another couple of days, on the basis that if they stop dividing before transfer date they'd probably have done that even if we had put them back in (indeed with my record the embies seem to do better outside than back inside me - I'd be delighted to just pick one or two up in nine months' time!)

So, another couple of days of waiting accompanied by calls from the clinic rather than waiting with no updates. Rationally I know this is a positive development, but it was a bloody stressful afternoon.

Thanks for listening, love

Alison xx

Oh Alison ... If that was a sketch on tv, you'd just think it was a little too far fetched. I'm sorry, but imagining you lying there, trying to hold this conversation .....OMG !

It is really positive news though. You must be delighted to know they are doing so well. I would have gone with your decision too. My hospital only does day 2s (as far as I'm aware) and I would love a chance at blasts.

You have had a stressful day. Make sure you treat yourself a little tonight (nothing naughty - maybe dp giving you a nice massage or a lovely relaxing bath). You deserve it after what I can only describe as an ordeal !!

Alison, like Sandra says it would make a fabulous sketch!!

It does sound like good news - going to the 5 day transfer is always good because the embryos are at a more natural stage for entry into the womb

Look after yourself and get plenty of R&R.

Sorry you have to go through the whole full bladder ordeal again, but fingers crossed for a successful ET.

Any one know if it's ok to take paracetemol?

It's just that I had a head ache other day, I just took one.

But now I am thinking was it ok. Too late now I know.

Surely one wont hurt?
