Well I never expected to get this far.<br>I'm 39 hubby 42, we've been trying for the last 16 years.<br>Had countless iui's, 2 IVF, 1 fet and finally after a few years break another ivf. I tested positive on Monday, and scan booked for 8th september. I was feeling ok apart from sore boobs, and wind(sorry) also keep waking up and feeling really hungry.<br>I got worried on Thursday, cause I started getting af type pains, hubby told me not to worry, and pain and twinges could happen.<br>Being the first time I've ever got this far I wouldnt know.<br>The nurses at the hospital have told me to rest and take it easy, was in bed all yesterday, didn't realise I'd be so stressed after getting a positive result.<br>Cant believe how many positive results there have been this week<br>Congratulations to you all<br>Charlotte x
I'm 39 dh 43
Had numerous iui attempts, 3 ivf & 1 fet attempts. Fell pregnant on last ivf Aug 2003.
But scan at 7 weeks showed embrio had stopped growing at 5 weeks, naturally miscarried a week later. Ivf starts inFeb

Thanks everyone for your well wishes.<br>I've never seen my husband smile so much, he's walking round on cloud 9. I didn't realize I was married to such a good cook, he made me a lovely meal on Saturday.<br>I've not really been feeling sick yet, just feel really hungry at weird times. One of the first symptoms I had was waking up at 3am, absolutely starving, wanting something like toast, but no bread in, and having a Large bowl of cerial(not my fav food) and dh coming down saying I'd woke him up with the crunching, and he was worried lol.<br>My stomach looks and feels about 5 months and I dont usually, have such a big belly.<br>Well I dont think so...<br>Congratulations Bertie, Sharon and Michelle<br>Whens have you got your scans?<br>And what stage will they be at<br>my scan I think is at 8 weeks<br>Well of to walk my dog, get a little exercise<br><br>Charlotte xx<br>
