Just a quick note before I go for a nap. The clinic have rung to say that I have to carry on with everything as before and to go in on Saturday at 7.30am again. The lady who does the scans told me that the follicules tend to grow at 0.2 mm per day so hopefully when I go on Saturday they will be getting nearly big enough and we will be looking at EC early next week. I will keep you all posted. I have got to go to sleep now and have got a busy night tonight so probably won't be able to post any personals until tommorow. Just to let you all know that I am thinking of you.

Take care
Angela

Becky - Congratulations - we told you that there was nothing to worry about!

I am back from ET! It was fine, i didn't feel a thing! We have had 2 embies out back ( one 4 cell and one 5 cell) on a two day transfer - is this good?. Unfortunately we only had one that would have been suitable for freezing and they won't freeze only one so, it'll have 2 b another fresh cycle next time!

It was amazing watching the embies go up inside me - lets hope they stay there!

Becky and Emma - good luck for 2moro, let us know how it goes!

Lots of love Vickie x x x

ug! This board was down when I needed you ladies the most!

On a good note...at my scan yesterday, they counted 20 follicles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went from like 8-9, to 20 in one day! They were all good size, so needless to say I triggered last night, and my EC is tomorrow morning.

I had a total trigger nightmare. When it came time to mix the stuff and put it in me...the instruction sheet they gave me totally contradicted the acutal demo they did for me in the office (regarding needles and sizes etc). I panicked and called the doc on call who really had no idea and told me it didn't matter as long as the medicine got in me. Well, it did matter!!!!!!! I couldn't pull the fluid up with the needle that I was told to use. I guess it was too small. Sooooo frustrating! Time was ticking and it was past my time to take my trigger. My dh and I struggled and finally used the largest needle I had and I got it up in the syringe. We lost about five droplets in the process. We got it in me about 10 min. late and there was a tad left in the bottle. Is this ok? Is this normal?

Well, we'll know tomorrow.

Also...another question...my cm (which has been endless since stimming) is now non-existent. Is this normal? Does the hcg dry you up?

I am so nervous for tomorrow.

I will post when I am home.

Hi! I'm am so glad this site finally is back online! I was going through withdrawls :shock: It's been awhile and I see everyone is moving along fast now!

Macca, I'm sorry about your BFN. :cry: Hang in there. I see you are doing an FET next time. I'll be praying for you. (((hugs))).

Vickie & Becky, I see you've just had ET! Isn't it exciting? Good luck to you both. Sticky baby dust to you. :D

Emma , any day now for you, 8) good luck!

I have another week for my Pregnancy test. I'ts going to be hard to wait. I feel really positive, but every now and then I think what a bummer it will be if I'm not. Then I think, "am I pregnant? I don't feel different, If I do feel anything it will be from the hormones I'm taking. I should have symptoms or something". I guess that's not always the case. :?

Hopeful/Mia - Keep positive, and don't stress. By the way, I predict a singleton pregnancy. You heard it here first.

Mia,

Wow good for you. Only 1 week left. I know it seems like forever. I have 1 week left too and its killing me.

I feel the same way... am I or not? My sister is living with me and about to deliver any day now!! :shock: My other sister is also preggers.

I think I have all the symptoms for a BFP and then I think maybe not.

Vicki and Becky, you are right with us now. Hope you are resting for your embies to snuggle in.

Macca, So sorry for the BFN. I hope you are feeling better soon for the FET. HUGS!!

Hi auntie. Hope all is well.

Talk soon.

Take care,
Jackie

OMG - its finally back, I thoought there was something wrong with my computer - i even phoned my mum and asked her to try and log in for me!

I'm really messed up with every1's days but, Zirly good luck for EC - you will be fine and Mia, I'm sure that u will be announcing a BFP in a weeks time!

Well, as you know, I'm now officially on my 2WW - can't sleep at the moment, its 5am!....
..What should i be feeling - anything? I think i can feel a few aches and pains down there, is this a bad sign or is it still due to EC on tuesday?

I feel so paranoid but trying to act as normal as possible. My clinic told me to back back into my normal routine as soon as i can. Obviously don't do aerobics or go for a 10 mile run (which i wouldn't be capable of anyway!) but, just go about daily life!

Has anyone else felt any funny sensations 'down there' post ET? I'm really worried!

Glad to have you all back
Lots of love Vickie x x x

Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't written. The week was so crazy for me... i was a stress case with the constant possibility of canceling and all the waivering that went on.

Thank you to Jackie, Vickie, Zirly, Aunty and Angelamw for your encouragement. It really meant a lot.

I had my egg retrieval today! They got 4 eggs. They said 3 were mature and one MIGHT catch up. They said they would definitely fertilize the 3 this afternoon. Now I am in that VERY NERVOUS, I HOPE THEY FERTILIZED stage!! :? They will call tomorrow and let us know. Keep your fingers crossed for us!! It's so weird to think that our egg and sperm have finally met after all we've been through these past 2 years. I hope they liked each other and all will be well. :)

Zirly - GL with your retrieval tomorrow! I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was! The worst part is just being so nervous beforehand... it will be over before you know it, trust me!

Becky - So happy for you that your 2 fertilized!!! yeah!!! Will you do a 3 day transfer?

Vickie & Mia - My thoughts are with you during your 2WW. I am on another board, and just this week a girl who was feeling NO SYMPTOMS turned out to be VERY pregnant with twins!!! Hang in there!!!!

Lisa - I am so very sorry that you got a negative. My heart goes out to you. This is such a hard thing to go through. It WILL happen for you hun. Keep believing... hugs to you.

Hello to everyone else! I'll be checkin in on all of ya soon!

:D

OMG! I can't believe the board has been down!
So, we went in for ET yesterday at 3pm. All went well. My two embies were a very nice looking 4 cell and a 2/3 cell which they say is fine, its just a bit slower than the other one. So, they are both back home now and I'm feeling positive at the moment. Don't know how long into the 2ww that will last though! :shock:
Off for lunch with my girly friends today while DH is working and then its back home to lay on my sofa and watch TV all evening!
Great to see so many of us on here now. Becky - glad all went well for your ET yesterday too, exciting isn't it? I too have had some funny crampy sensations down there but its just the progesterone pessaries which can cause a bit of gas! (Sorry TMI!!)
Anyway, will be talking to you soon.
Bucketloads of PMA and baby dust to us all!!!
