hope everyone finds me.

Brilliant, it all went a bit wrong and we didn't go We have to call her before we visit to make sure she's out of bed and dressed we have seen some terrible sights not doing this in the past , so DH tried to call her at 2 (quite normal for her not to be up and dressed) and there was no answer, tried for a couple of hours with no answer, by the time we found out than her phone line went down (last Sunday we only just find out today) it was too late to go not sure I should be quite so happy

Sounds like you had a lucky escape there Boo

What does everyone have planned for today?

The old Man I care for is away on holiday so I have nothing to do. :) have a few bits of shopping to do but other than that I don't have much planned. Maybe have a nap.

boo that was a lucky escape.

Yes to a nap penguin

Brookers, especially IVFers, can I ask a rather, ahem, personal question? When did you start having sex again? We were told none after transfer, but I'm now like a dog on heat so have just gone back to it. That's ok right? please say it is cos the sex really is top notch

I couldn't wait any longer so I told my mum and her partner, also one of my sisters. We also told Dps parents. Finally I feel like I have someone to talk to.

What did everyone else get up to?

Well done boo for getting out of the day with MIL. Hope you had a good weekend and looking forward to the big reveal this evening??

Maybe I found sex quite nervous for the first few weeks. I spoke to the nurse at 7 week scan and she reassured us that it was ok. She did say not to be worried about a bit of spotting afterward as the cervix gets more delicate when diffed. But sadly as things have gone on I have gone off DTD. I am not really sure why, I still have vivid rude dreams, but don't feel like actual sex. We have both admitted to feel nervous of hurting the babies, even though we know this isn't possible. I am not sure if my libido will return but I hope it does as we have always had a good sex life and I miss that closeness with DH.

Penguin how did people react to your news? Our close families have always known we were going through treatment so were the first to know when we got a positive pee stick.

It's a bit scary isn't it Sweetie. The nurse just told me to act normal, so I took that as meaning sex was ok again. I haven't had any spotting so that's a good thing. It's hard to keep a balance when your TTC between sex and actual 'trying' then when you get diffed, it starts again!!

I bet they were excited Penguin!

I have spent the last hour in tears, I have had to go lie on the bed to calm down. I am on another thread for IVF pregnancy ladies and one of the twin ladies went into labour last weekend. She was only 28 weeks and lost one of her twins. I feel so upset for her and her loss. I know the risks with twin pregnancies are higher but I am now, obviously, worried for my own situation. I might show DH the thread as he is so blasé about the whole pregnancy and this may make him realise the risks we face. Sorry for such a negative post but it has really upset me.

{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}} oh Sweetie of course you're affected by her situation so sad for her, but I just know that you and the twins will be just fine!

Oh sweetie That's sad news for the poor lady on the other thread Please try not to let it upset you too much, dib and dab are doing great and I'm sure that will continue.

Oh Sweetie how unbelievably sad. I can totally understand how you could feel that way, I can't even comprehend what the parents must be going through. It may be a good idea to show your DH the thread. There was a post on the FF argc thread about a lady who gave birth to twins at 28 weeks and they are very poorly still. But equally there are many positive outcomes too, I hope you can focus on that.

Oh Sweetie likely, I saw this too. I feel so, so sorry for her. Your little ones are fighting fit in there, and are not planning on moving out until you are ready for them x

Morning brookers. How is everyone?

I'm having a bit of a wobble. I'm worried that the pregnancy may be ectopic. Ever since transfer I have had aches and a scratchy feeling on my left side in my bikini line close to my hip, and I can really feel it today. It's not cramping though. Don't know whether to be worried or not. Do I need a slap?

Oh sweetie that's very sad. I really hope the other lady is okay. dib and dab (fantastic names) will be just fine.

maybe my mum was pretty excited. However Dps parents just looked horrified and said "what? Are you trying to fill that house up there?"

My mum and her Dp laughed as my little sister won't take it well. She hates that me and Dp are very happy together as her relationship is a joke and her boyfriend treats her and her daughter like crap.

maybe try not go worry, your body will be doing lots of different things that you are not used to. It's prob normal stretch of the uterus. When is your scan?

I'm glad you have your mums support Penguin. In laws can be strange things

My scans a week tomorrow

I might be being a bit thick but I thought ectopic meant that the egg fertilised and implanted outside the womble, usually in the tube, that surely couldn't have happened if your egg was implanted directly back in your womble? Like I said my medical knowledge on these things comes mostly from casualty and holby city so I could be very very wrong.

Morning everyone :)

should have Googled it before posting, I never knew that. But that's not what is happening to you Maybe, Fin will be in the perfect place growing in the perfect way!!!

maybe I could have written your post in my early days. I has exactly the same and was convinced of ectopic too. Mine went on for ages, well past my 7 week scan. I asked the nurse at my scan and she said it is a combination of things bedding in and the progesterone. Hope this helps take your worry away.

How are you feeling today Sweetie when is your scan? Can't be long now. You know I will be hitting M'hall soon to sort out teen boo with a school uniform

Thanks Boo and Sweetie. It's properly put my mind at rest. I'm just feeling very tired and sick today and really need my bed. What a Wally

Are you ok after yesterday Sweetie

Maybe not a wally at all. I am a worrier especially at 3am.

boo next Monday is our scan so will know more then.

I think that's what set me off Sweetie, I had a nightmare!

Not long now Sweetie! Can't wait to find out what flavour they are

I hope you're feeling a bit better Maybe. So many new twinges and things to get used to at the moment but they can still all be quite worrying. Not long now until your scan though. Does your clinic then refer you back to your gp?

How are you doing Penguin? Your poor sister by the way. Yes I agree in-laws can be strange!

Sweetie are you finding out the sex of dib & dab? How exciting!

I hope you're doing well too Keep

Trix where are you? How are you? Did you enjoy the lion king? I loved that show!

I'm doing ok just counting down the sleeps until my next scan, so far I feel ok about it but I'm very glad DH is coming with me to this one, most of the others he's missed as he just can't time off at such short notice. I've been listening to my pregnancy CD and it's been really good for me I think. I got a call from the clinic that are doing the Harmony test today, they said my results won't be back 'til the weekend so I've had to reschedule that scan for next Monday. I was hoping it would be all over and done with by the end of the week but I guess you can't have everything.

Sorry you've had to reschedule Solars. A few days can seem like weeks! That's great that DH is coming. So you have a bump yet?!

Yes, if all goes well ill be discharged next week. My first GP appointment is this Friday and my booking in is the 20th

I have a massive bump already Maybe I've been avoiding people and having to cancel dates as I'm sure when people see me they'll know for sure I'm pregnant, hopefully if all is well on Wednesday we can tell people and I don't have to hide away! DH even said today that is was looking very pregnant although up until then he kept saying it was just fat!

The gp appointment will be good to look forward to on Friday. Is work going ok?
