Re: Lindy
Orla,
Thanks for the good luck message. I cannot believe that I'll know by the end of tommorrow. Although I've had many pains over the past two weeks, I cannot tell whether it's Endo pain, period or otherwise, as my body is so used to having pain. I kept really busy at the weekend entertaining both sets of parents, although my patience was short with my mum by the end of the weekend. I can't help it but she really doesn't understand what we are going through.
Only 3 more sleeps for you, hang in there. I really hope that we both have positive results. I gave up my job in August as it was too stressful, and I wanted my body to heal after the 2nd Endo surgery in July, and ready for the first IVF. We have little money for Xmas at the moment so a positive test would be the best present we could ever wish for. So Santa please do your stuff!!!!
If it's not to be I know I'll be devastated. I'm dreading telling my family and friends, as they just seem to feel sorry for us, and I don't want sympathy from them.
I'm scheduled to have the blood test tomorrow morning, do you know whether they tell you straight away or do they phone you at home later that day?
If I don't hear from you before I really hope everything goes well for you on Friday. All my fingers and toes are crossed for you!

My test results are unclear, so I have to have another one in 5 days
being Monday 20th.
My test detected very low levels, not enough for a positive but not a negative as yet, which could mean one of two things.
Firstly, it could be that it embedded late and therefore the levels should increase by next Monday.
or it could mean that it's on it's way out, so the levels will remain the same
Looking on the positive side it's not an outright no, and as my DH says I've always been a late developer, so there is still a chance for now. I don't think that anything could have prepared us for this result.
Another 5 days seems like a long time, but it could make all the difference!! More fingers crossed for now.
So now you will know before me!! So I have my fingers crossed for your test on Friday.
GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Lindy
At least it wasnt bad news but you still have a few more days to go. Well good luck and take it easy. I hope it all goes well for you.
I only have another two nights to go, last night i could hardly sleep so goodness knows what i will be like for the next two. Unfortunately i dont get a blood test it is just a home pregnanacy test kit given by the hospital that i use.
Good luck. My fingers are crossed very tightly.
Love

Orla,
I had the blood test at 10 ish and had to wait until 2 p.m. I cannot explain to you how unbearable it was to have to wait for hours for the results. Especially as my DH is really impatient. I'm not sure who was worse him or me. Although, it will be a short sharp shock for you, with the home kit you will know straight away.
So only one more night to go!! Make sure that you try to relax, I found that smelling Lavender essential oil and gently breathing deeply helped me to calm me when I got panicky. They say that its mind over matter, visualising times when you felt happy from the past can also help to relax you and keep you positive. I do find this one the most difficult and my mind wonders from one thing to the next all the time. It doesn't help that I have a job interview with a presentation next Tuesday. Why does everything always seem to happen at once?
I was so exhausted yesterday that I slept in the afternoon for a couple of hours and then right through the night. Just four more days for me now. I still feel a lot of pain, and had a tiny bit of blood yesterday, but i'm still hopeful at the moment.
I wish you lots of luck for tomorrow, I'll have my fingers crossed for you!!
Take care
Lindy

Hi Lindy
Thanks for your message, at the minute it is quite strange sometimes i am thinking it will probabaly be negative and other times its well it works for other people first time so why not me. But either way i dont even have 24 hours to go now, i will be up really early tomorrow morning.
I know the feeling about everything happening at once because just about start of november DH and myself decided we would have a look around and maybe move house, within one week we had a deposit down on a house- which is nearer our families- and then had to get our own sorted out, luckily we got an offer on ours which we accepted within two weeks. So over the last month or so we have had a lot on our minds. DH is also thinking about moving jobs.
I am sure i will be messaging you before Monday but good luck with your preparation for the interview, at least it might take your mind off the test agin on monday.
I too still have cramps but no bleed. I have read about other people with a bleed and it has been positive for them. So good lick and take it easy..
Love

Edi,
Thank you for your kind thoughts.
I'm still no more prepared for the outcome than I was first time round. My body just seems to tense up and my fingers feel cold at the thought of it all.
Hope your putting your feet up and taking care of yourself. As your test is on Xmas day will you be using a home kit?
Lots of hugs
Lindy
