Hi I'v been reading all your posts since I joined this site and finally on our 4th treatment we got the news we have been praying for...
We got the brill news last tuesday 27th April that we are pregnant,I havent posted on here yet as I had to have another blood test tuesday and then today as the levels werent as high but the nurse said that if they had taken my blood a few hours later I would ahev been ok because today they were over 2000,on test day they were 112,day 21 773 and today over 2000.
We go for our 1st scan next thursday,cant wait I am now going to relax and enjoy this pregnancy (promise Tracey S).We are so happy its took us nearlly 5 years to get here but its all been worth it,so bring on the sickness.
Can I just ask how far am I,I forgot to ask on the phone earlier,do I count 2weeks before ec or et?????
It so good to finally join you all
Love Gemmaxxx
So glad to be posting on this side.
Hi Gem 
I posted on the other side as well for you. I am so happy you got your much deserved positive and that your levels are rising nicely. It is such a relief to get over to the 'other side' but then a whole load more worries start to creep in and it never stops.
Just try and enjoy being PG and if you are lucky the sickness won't be too bad but it could come with a vengance so keep up those fluids as you don't want to get dehydrated.
Many congratulations again.
Love Dagny xkx

Was going to resist the urge to say "told you so " but won't so Told you so!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations and welcome to this side where we worry about all sorts of things like missing a week of Home and Away if we go on holiday
Different clinics count the days differently and they will confirm at your dating scan but mine say count two weeks back from ET - they always do this recently as I had FET and natural so could actually count from date of last AF but as only one day different! So go from ET and back two weeks to work out date.
I am thrilled for you as know what it is like to wait so long - over 12 years in my case - long story!
Fire away with the questions - and where is Bina?
Love
Tracey
