It wasn't me with the crab you daft tart!!! Smile

HCG levels can be very misleading when guessing at numbers of babies. There is a HCG thread on FF with folk comparing numbers- have a look. There seems to be a lot of overlap in the HCG for singletons and twins. What will be will be chick- one healthy baby is the main aim xxxx

We are having a BBQ with kebabs, sausages and salad. I have eaten crap this weekend but im too hot to care....

What a you having joos??? a zorba's?? Wink

Afternoon lovely tort. I know I've got to wait until my next period at least. I did a quick google, like you do, and some women had to wait up to 3 cycles later. To be honest, I'm still bloated and uncomfortable so I'd rather wait until my ovaries are back to normal. I was a bit disappointed at first, but I'd much rather do whatever is the least riskiest. I'm going to ring clinic tomorrow for an appointment next week. Fortunately DP remembered that was what they told me to do after I was still a bit dozey after GA and euphoric after my massive laying of eggs.

brooker I've just had a glass of warm water and bicarb of soda. Thanks for reminding me about it, I was starting to feel really grumpy and miserable. Hoping it gets things moving or calms things down. I did read it sometimes happens after EC.

nobeer · 07/07/2013 12:16

juicy I'm excited about your scan too!!

nobeer · 07/07/2013 12:16

maybe is it your transfer tomorrow? Sending lots of positive vibes!

Can Crab Woman pliz step forward....

Tortie, last night I had a Zorba's kebab. The whole time I was waiting for delivery I was being sick in my mouth (it's hetting so frequent I've learned to happily swallow it down now; no need for water!) yet starving hungry. I wolfed the lot down and exactly 1.5 hours later I threw the lot up at such a velocity that two jets spurted out of my nose. Later on I was sneezing tikka-stained morsels of chicken into my hankie. Nice.

The tiredness is actually really dibilitating and I'm regularly poleaxed throughout the day Smile

JuicyFatSteak · 07/07/2013 12:30

JuicyFatSteak · 07/07/2013 12:31

Argh! *debilitating!

wish I'd have been fuming worried sick. Don't think you're over-reacting at all. However, we all react differently & maybe DH just needed a blow out after all the stress of what you've both been through. Without wanting to sound too stereotypical, men seem to deal with stress by drinking (that's my experience anyway) unlike us ladies who will talk scream & shout things through. If it was me I would make him listen to how his behaviour made you feel. I'm sure he would never have intended to hurt / upset you. They just don't think sometimes Hmm. If that doesn't work-pan him one Smile
nobeer glad the vaguest of vague help did the trick & the bloating is improving.
Hope all you ladies testing are ok today? Thinking of you. Xx

wishicouldhavealargeMalibu · 07/07/2013 15:51

Brooker I'm sat in my garden with people in the gardens around me having bbq's and party's. you post made me snarf out so loud I'm pretty sure everyone on the street went quiet Hmm

juicy loving the sound of the recycled barf snacks! Chewy! Mmm mmmm

DP came home and was really sorry. He made a point of doing everything for me before going and calapsing on the bed. We're taking the dog for a long walk together when its a bit cooler because he wants to spend time with me. Someone feels guilty!

BrookerC · 07/07/2013 16:11

Well I'm glad he understands he's in the dog house wish.Make sure you milk the attention for a few days SmileI'm sure all will be fine for you 2. We spend a lot of time talking through stuff while out walking the dog.
juice what a waste of a good kebab Grin

Hi wish. Good to hear from you. I would have been upset and livid with my husband if he had done that, but.. Your husband has just had to watch the woman he loves have her dreams dashed while he watches helplessly on, so maybe you should cut him some slack. Men often aren't very good at articulating how they feel, and it could just have been his way of shutting it out for the night and letting his hair down. Maybe I am being overly kind to him, but I do think this process is hard for men too. I'm really sorry for you too - I know how tough all this is. x

As for me, a perfectly confident dark second line on the HPT this morning. I wish that I could therefore believe I was pregnant, but I will only believe it if the blood test tomorrow (and then a second 48 hours later as I will demand it!) is positive and with a healthy hcg. I imagine people can't imagine why I insist on being pessimistic in the face of such good indications of a pregnancy - I think I'm just so frightened of it going wrong.

JuicyFatSteak · 07/07/2013 18:22

Motor, you are eminently sensible (as are all psychiatric folks) but you are fecking pregnant!! GrinThanksGrin

nobeer · 07/07/2013 19:14

Motor that's amazing! But I totally understand the cautious approach. Got everything crossed for you. Flowers

NookNook · 07/07/2013 19:32

I'm crab lady! It's me! It's me! And I've already eaten it. Tonight is a takeaway... curry...

tametortie · 07/07/2013 19:41

motor you sound like me a couple of months ago! You are pregnant- believe it xxx

OP posts:
NookNook · 07/07/2013 19:58

Motor missed your post - so exciting! That's it. A DARK LINE = PREGNANT!!!!

chocolocodowninacapulco · 07/07/2013 20:00

Well done motor, that's great news Grin

wish , glad to hear that Mr Wish is making things up to you. My DH processed things a lot more slowly and it took him longer to show his feelings or open up after the mc.

nobeer you're sounding philosophical, hopefully not too long before you can do your FET.

juicy soz that you are feeling crap, but great that you have the scan to look forward to on Friday.

brooker how are the jabs going jab buddy? When is your 1st stim scan?

Eh up tame

Hello to euro if you're reading

Ay up choco how are the drugs going? Feeling murderous on the clinic yet??!! X

BrookerC · 07/07/2013 20:53

motor sounds like you're pregnant lady! Hope you can rest easier tomorrow after the blood test. Flowers
Hey choco how are you feeling? The only symptom I have is tiredness. I'd forgotten how much sleep I need during this phase. My 1st scan is on Tuesday-is that the same as you?

tametortie · 07/07/2013 20:57

brooker how many cycles have you had before?

OP posts:
tametortie · 07/07/2013 21:04

Just read back and saw that everyone hates Chris Martin.....thank fuck for that!!!

DH loves him and I was starting to think it was just me. When he does that ridiculous dancing with his arms everywhere, I want to rip his arms off and beat him with the soggy ends. Bloody patronising nob jockey.

As you were....
