Fingers crossed for you carrie! Hope tomorrow brings a nice 'pregnant' on your clearblue digital (fancy Smile) No af here yet and haven't tested since my ridiculously early test on Tuesday. Might crack over weekend if no sign of period. Have spent day cleaning house and tidying garden to keep my mind off it!

That's great that your dh is all chuffed!

My boobs aren't that sore anymore but today I had a dizzy spell& I've been feeling knackered. Still getting loads of twinges in the ovary region.

sleeves whats next for you then? do you have to go to the ivf clinic again?

yeah its nice dh seems so chuffed, even he said theres a v faint line.

OP posts:
ilikeyoursleeves · 21/10/2011 21:14

I've got a blood test at the ivf clinic on monday & I should find out my hcg levels then. I am hoping that they will offer an early scan as that is what happened at the original ivf, I dont think I can last 12 weeks til a scan!

I'll also arrange a midwife appt I think next week. I'm already dreading telling work, my boss will be mad as I head my dept & we are so short staffed as it is & there is no way we will get a locum to cover my mat leave. Oh well!

carriedababi · 21/10/2011 21:26

will you get the blood test results on the same day?
will it be an internal scan?
or will you wait till your about 6/7 weeks pregnant

when will you see the midwife?

does your boss know youve had ivf ? or have you kept it quiet at work?

OP posts:
ilikeyoursleeves · 21/10/2011 21:42

I'm not sure if I get the blood results the same day but I think I do as they usually do bloods in morning then the lab has the results by the afternoon. Re scan, it would be internal if it's early, my scan with ds1 was at 6 weeks I think.

Not told a soul at work about this yet though a few folk know ds1 was ivf. Dh thinks I should tell my boss it was unplanned but I want to say it was very much planned! Will cross that bridge when we come to it...

I'm in bed atm, so tired & windy & feel a bit sick. Keep getting lots of saliva in my mouth like I do before I'm sick but I dont feel too sick as in how I would feel if I was going to puke. That probably makes no sense at all!

ilikeyoursleeves · 21/10/2011 21:46

I'm away to sleep now, good luck everyone testing tomorrow!

carriedababi · 21/10/2011 21:50

oh i know what you mean about excess saliva in your mouth before your sick, i get that when i feel sick too.

did you have you ivf in a private clinic or with the nhs?

if i get pg, im going to pay fo scan at 7 weeks, as i cant wait till 12 to see the heartbeat, i think it costs 50 quid but well worth it imo.

good idea getting in bed, think im going to have a shower and turn in after bb.

when do you think you would tell your work? after 12 weeks?

carried how many dpo were you when you finally got your BFP? I have no idea if/when I ov'd this month, poas earlier and bfn. I'm cd22 of a 25-27 day cycle. I'm wondering if it was too early or am I game over for this month (it was one of the sensitive pg tests).

nearlymumofone · 21/10/2011 22:03

Sorry carried meant to say big congrats to you too!!!!

carriedababi · 21/10/2011 22:05

well i only saw a very faint line today, so im not 100% certain i am, hopefully get a stronger line tomorrow plus a digi test saying pg.

i think im about 11 dpo.

have you been doing ov tests?

OP posts:
nearlymumofone · 21/10/2011 22:08

Hey carried. I did some ov tests, none came up with a line. SO don't know if or when I ov'd. I'm only 2nd cycle of ttc#2. So not sure what my cycle's like to be honest.

Fx for you tmr, though by the sounds of it if you get any kind of faint line it's a positive!!

What symptoms have you had if any? It just feels to me like AF is on her way really...

thanks, ive had really aching boobs, feeling tired, mon night i felt queesy laying in bed.

do you know all about how to look for signs of ovulation?
such as watching your cm?

OP posts:
nearlymumofone · 21/10/2011 22:15

yes was watching cm, and no ewcm all month, so maybe I didn't ov at all?

Original poster
carriedababi · 21/10/2011 22:17

i'm certainly no expert.

but it sounds possible you didn't ovulate.

perhaps keep a close eye on everything next cycle

OP posts:
nearlymumofone · 21/10/2011 22:18

I'm awaiting a delivery of CBFM so hopefully that'll help me out.

Out of interest did you get AF pains as usual this month?

Original poster
carriedababi · 21/10/2011 22:27

i'm definatly having some sort of twinges down there, i had really bad af cramp pains when i was pg with dd, i was convinced it couldnt be normal i used to go the drs crying saying im having a miscarrage.

but i think af type pians are v normal, everyhting streches, esp in 1st pg's

so you still might be in luck.
