LOL res I love it when a plan comes together! Choosing to ignore buggy comment

Actually looked at my HCG levels from my summer pregnancy (a singleton) last night and at the same stage my first HCG was 616 and my second 1830....looks like I may just have high HCG levels. I had no idea I needed to obsess over them with DS so the only thing I have written down is that they were satisfactory. Og the blissful ignorance in those days Hmm Who knows....I am phone watching, willing for them to call...trying desperately hard not to call them until at least 4pm.... will fail

Oh Val - that result gives me something to look forward to later. Saw a woman in M&S with twin babies today. Those double buggies are a struggle, aren't they? Wink

Tame - where are you?

Lumen - great news that you have a 'Plan'. Hope we get some more joiners to wait with you in June. By then I'll be drinking like there's no tomorrow to kill the pain of loss OR chucking my guts up...

Quite chilled here today although had a strange twinge earlier which caused me to say 'ow' aloud. Having a Day 5 transfer really ups the ante is terms of the head-fuck, doesn't it? My first was Day 2 so I knew nothing could possibly be happening for the first 4 to 5 days but with a Day 5...

OK. Off to work now. So far as they know I'm at a hearing all week. I didn't share that we were adjourned on Tuesday until 2pm today. For once, it all has worked out nicely.

lumen · 01/05/2014 10:40

Fx for you Val x

vallinnapod · 01/05/2014 10:31

Cheers Cups Grin - yep, blood drawn this morning so will spend from lunch time onwards staring at my phone willing it to ring with good news.

No symptoms whatsoever today so having a mental....

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 01/05/2014 10:15

Good luck for today Tame Thanks
How's the spotting? Has it eased off?

Twinks I'm glad to hear it's all going well. I hope I can be that zen about the thought of labour once my time comes! I'm ok, I'm waiting for AF to turn up and I should be starting a fresh short cycle. I really hope it works this time. I'm at the 5 year mark now, I can't believe I've been on this journey for so long.

Lumen it's so exciting, once you get started it all happens so quickly apart from the dreaded two week wait

Val are you getting another HCG done? I want to see how the twins quads are getting on Grin

vallinnapod · 01/05/2014 10:01

Good luck Tame!! You'll be fine. Also, try to remember that the number today doesn't mean that much. As long as it is over 5 your are PG. Then it is just the repeat you have to stress about WinkGrin

lumen · 01/05/2014 09:54

Morning all, tame how did you get on with hcg test?

Just had all my dates confirmed. Start dr drugs on 19th of this month with EC/ET scheduled for w/c 23rd June. Anyone else going to be on 2ww with me?

It is finally all a bit more real and exciting and scary! Confused

vallinnapod · 01/05/2014 09:51

Welcome to the first full day of mentalhood *Res Wink

twinklestar2 · 01/05/2014 08:24

Hi cupcakes how are you getting on. Its mad isn't it, i never thought id get here after my terrible summer last year. Feeling very blessed and happy. I don't even care about going through labour, just want my baby in my arms!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 01/05/2014 07:10

Hey Twinks I can't believe you are 26 weeks Shock I was thinking about all you graduates yesterday.

I was also thinking about Fish and Fab. I hope they are both getting on ok.

twinklestar2 · 30/04/2014 23:03

Hey res I am 26 weeks now.

congrats on being PUPO :)

resipsa · 30/04/2014 22:51

Hey Winkle! What are now - 6 months? How's it going?

twinklestar2 · 30/04/2014 21:21

Congrats tame, nobeer and val!

Fingers crossed for you res.

Waves to everyone else :)

Turquoisetamborine · 30/04/2014 20:31

Ooh thanks nobeer, think I've ov last few days so I will stop now. I'm not tracking my cycle this month for the first time in years.

nobeer · 30/04/2014 18:50

Hi turq. I was taking EPO for a bit, but you have to stop after ovulation as it can cause uterine contractions.

resipsa · 30/04/2014 18:48

Hi Turq.

Turquoisetamborine · 30/04/2014 18:17

Moon face, are you One? Hello again.

Sorry your H is a knob Res, you are owed a massive BFP.
Tame, I don't really know your history but I'm sure I will worry too if I'm ever lucky enough to get pregnant so it's understandable. Try to focus on creating a calm and welcoming environment for your baby. That's what my acupuncturist always says to me.

I can't remember what my FSH was whoever asked. I know it was good though. It's on the last thread somewhere. I'll have a copy of my notes from the clinic soon so it should all be in there.

I've added Evening Primrose oil to my arsenal of supplements the last few weeks and it's really good for CM. Anyone else take it? I'd recommend it to anyone trying naturally between cycles.

nobeer · 30/04/2014 18:08

Sorry res, I was so cross about your DH I forgot to congratulate you! Well done and I'm delighted you're feeling optimistic Smile

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 30/04/2014 17:28

Hi One and welcome back Smile

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 30/04/2014 17:27

Res you are PUPO!! Sorry to hear DH was a bit useless. I'm Angry on your behalf. They sound like two fab embies. We will probably end up testing at the same time if you take as long as you did last time Wink

Just a flying visit as I'm of to meet DH in town for shopping and food.

resipsa · 30/04/2014 15:22

Hi One. D'you know, I think I'm owed twins Wink. Was just contemplating that I should have had 3 DCs by now (or soon) born Jan 11, Oct 12 and Aug 14 so it'd feel right. I'm strangely optimistic.

Moonfacesmother · 30/04/2014 14:53

Maybe twins then Res? For you and val? X x

vallinnapod · 30/04/2014 14:53

LOL Res you are the polar opposite of me Grin

Huge congrats on the PUPOedness

lumen · 30/04/2014 14:37

That all sounds really good res Smile

resipsa · 30/04/2014 14:26

Bears - v good news re your scan. Envy.

Tame - any news?
