twink it depends how many days post how many days transfer OTD is. Can you enlighten us?

chocolocodowninacapulco · 23/07/2013 21:41

Don't tempt me motor, I need a slap really! Feeling a bit meh tonight as I have been having cramps on and off today and my brain's gone into overdrive, noooo!

MotorcycleMama · 23/07/2013 21:45

Cramps are all par for the course. Nothing at all to worry about choco.

twinklestar2 · 23/07/2013 21:45

It will be 9 days post 5 day transfer.

You'd think I would know better after the 2 previous times [scared]. When is your next blood test motor?

twinks my clinic give OTD as 15dpEC, I expect you'd get a good result by then but I'm no expert really

MotorcycleMama · 23/07/2013 21:57

twink then 2 days before OTD should be fine if you use a FRER. Lots of people are restrained and would advice just waiting until OTD though. I could never be that patient!

MotorcycleMama · 23/07/2013 22:00

I had a blood test on Monday - hcg was 22000 - higher than I expected. Next test this Thursday, but that will be my last. Scan next Wednesday at 7+3. Terrified but just want the day to come!

twinklestar2 · 23/07/2013 22:02

Motor - remind me what you had put back and what day?

OP posts:
NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2013 22:06

Twinks my clinic tests 18 days post EC. I tested 2 days before that, so 10dp5dt. And I had a very clear line on a FRER and a digi x

twinklestar2 · 23/07/2013 22:11

You had a hatching blasto put back, didn't you maybe?

OP posts:
MotorcycleMama · 23/07/2013 22:17

twink I had a good quality blasto put back on day 5.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2013 22:45

I did indeed Twinks, you had a top quality one put back too didnt you?

twinklestar2 · 23/07/2013 22:53

I had a 4AB - thats good right?

twinklestar2 · 23/07/2013 22:55

Hi to everyone else. xxx

Pipbin · 23/07/2013 23:17

Evening ladies.

If I get updiffed will you guys come and stand outside the hospital window on step ladders so I feel like a princess?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 24/07/2013 04:13

Sorry I've missed loads, stupid work interrupting my mn time.

Wim fantastic news on your 12 little beauties. I hope my doctor looks like Mr Darcy, pride and prejudice is my favourite book. I better get myself booked in for a wax just in case Wink. Hope you are resting up.

Twinks hope you are finding plenty to do to keep yourself busy. Did you manage to get a counselling session arranged? Sounds like you've got a top quality emby on board.

Choco how are you doing? Have you got stuff planned to keep you busy for the next week? X

Pipbin I will happily stalk you when in labour, provided I'm not in labour myself! I've amazingly managed to avoid most of the royal baby news. Although I got forced into a sweepstake for baby's name yesterday, I tried to politely refuse but a very insistent colleague wouldn't take no for an answer.

Respisa did you say you live in Manchester? I live in Manchester too. I live close to the McDonalds where the horse went through the drive through the other day Blush

Prammy love the new name, glad to see you haven't been kicked off. I love your no nonsense posting, you always make me laugh. Sorry to hear your feeling so pukey still.

Maybe glad to hear the nurse put your mind at rest sort of I'm looking forward to hearing lovely scan news from you, Motor and Life. Prammy when's your next scan?

Fab how's it all going? Have you had your first scans/bloods yet?

Hi to everyone else Brooker, Nobeer, Wish. Sorry if I've missed anyone.

I'm posting at in the middle of the night as I'm struggling to sleep. I'm not sure if its the stimms, the heat or cos I'm still stressed from work. I'm at the clinic at 7am for bloods so figure there is not much
point trying to sleep now.

MotorcycleMama · 24/07/2013 06:23

twink mine was a 4 AB too.

Are you there fish? All ok?

Fabuluce · 24/07/2013 07:15

Good luck today cups! That sleep deprivation is a bigger isn't it. I'm not doing too badly - only got up 3 times in the night last night but sometimes I just can't get back to sleep so the Zita west relaxation cd comes on and thats guaranteed to send me off Smile I would recommend investing, especially for the 2ww.

I'm surprisingly unbruisy so far - DH Has done a good job on my tum this time :). I have a scan tomorrow so hopefully I'll have some good follies growing then - hope you do too lovely Smile

Morning everyone else!!!

Fabuluce · 24/07/2013 07:20

Ps - no I don't give a flying fuck about the baby's name - anyone would think it was the messiah!!!!! And that's not to say I'm not pleased for a couple having a baby - it's obviously an extremely joyous occasion for them and their family but really world press - get over it and stop interrupting my programmes to give me updates on when they are leaving the hospital. It is such utter non news. Plus Nicholas Witchell should be sent to prison for crimes against humanity for putting us through his absurd, boring sycophantic non news updates. Sigh.

BrookerC · 24/07/2013 07:20

Good luck today cups come on lovely follies -grow Smile
Morning fab & well done DH! X

Lifeasafish · 24/07/2013 07:50

You rang m'lady?

Twas just reading! I was at a funeral yesterday so out of range.

motor my scan is on thursday. i'm really struggling at the moment, I just don't understand how my tiny little embie can grow a heart Sad. It seems such a tough job for it. Totally irrational I know. How are you coping? I'm going to ask the doc today for a blood test.

As I've said before I'm agonstic, but I literally got on my knees and begged for this embie yesterday in church. Anyone watching the white queen? Margret's 'saints knees' comment did come to mind at the time and put a smile on my face!

Loads of things to respond to here... So much sctivity for 2 days!

Lifeasafish · 24/07/2013 08:04

wim well done! That quite a haul. How are you feeling?

respisa good to see you back. How are you doing?

twinks I'm so glad you've sorted some 'space'. Really pleased as you sounded so scared/wound up and anxious and I recognised that feeling of panic. Can I admit that I have never seen a single episode of sex in the city?

tame i have images of you doing the sound of music and hilda (?) in the alps. I'm sure my crappy geography is showing, but you get the ist Smile. Hope you are well.

Posting now as I do not want to lose anything.

Lifeasafish · 24/07/2013 08:20

juicy i take it your baps are growing? I still see you as Juicy as I think it just suits you Grin. How are you feeling? How is it all going? Why are you not posting as much? I miss you wails .

beetle good to see you! How are you? And what are you up to medically?

twinks for what it is worth - I really struggled after egg collection, in fact I was the worst I had been through out the cycle ( and I had a tough one). After ET was difficult, but from what I can tell all/ most of us go through a really low period at some point after EC. I think its hormonal and lack of activity. And because at that point it becomes a bit more 'real'. For me anyway.

chocolocodowninacapulco · 24/07/2013 08:31

cups hope your scan goes well today Smile

fab glad your injections are going ok and not too many bruises and GL for scan tomorrow in case I forget.

fish hope you get some reassurance at the docs today.

Hello to everyone else

I'm getting cabin fever now! I kind of feel like I should still be resting and lazing about, and although obviously that's not a hardship I'm just not sure what I should/shouldn't be doing Confused
