Over here...

Bears hope your lining thins out and your EC goes ahead for Saturday. How many follies have you got?

I don't need to be at the hospital til 10 for ET so I'm lying snuggling for a bit longer.

Thanks turq, I mistyped though: I need it to thicken! At my last scan on Wednesday there were 4 on the left and between 2 to 4 on the right. Apparently there were others below that but can't see how they would have been able to catch up. My stomach feels like a waterbed and I can't think if a single thing I have that's going to fit over it to wear into to work this morning, I am so bloated (on top of kilos's gained during this whole TTC/IVF process) .

Good luck with the transfer this morning. I find it mortifying being so exposed (despite the amount of dildo scans and general attention my foof has gotten this last eighteen months or so) but its gotta be done! Not long till you are PUPO and your embie is back where it should be nestling in. X

Waves to everyone. Happy Friday, and roll on the weekend....

turq wayay (excuse spelling, softy southerner here) and good luck!

Good luck turq! See you in the pupo carriage later

Hi ladies, I'm PUPO!!!

Our one surviving embryo was 4 cell on day two and graded at 3/4. I don't really understand but the embryologist said the highest was 4/4 so I think that's good news.

The other good news was my H's sperm count has gone up from 7million to 44million! She said they didn't really need to ICSI it but as there were only two eggs they did to be on the safe side.

OTD is 4th April.

How are you feeling Mary? Not long to wait for you.

Bears hope you've found something to wear. Just wear your dressing gown! Good luck for tomorrow.

Omg turq that its brilliant news on both counts what has your dh been doing? Please tell us his secret!
I'm going from being completely calm & relaxed to having panic attacks that it hasn't worked that almost make me feel physically sick. This waiting malarkey really is the worst bit

Hi buddies. Not sure if you remember me but I was here in the winter and had my ivf ICSI early January. Just popping in to say I've had my 12 week scan and all is good

Thank you for your advice and support. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all x

Amazing news Turq: both the embryo quality and the huge improvement in DH's swimmers. I'm curious as well how he managed that! Just the dreaded 2ww to get through now.

Maryp: it ain't easy... Hold in there. There's not much else I can say, but am sending you a virtual hug.

Have put on trousers (already a size bigger than I usually wear) without doing up the button (and barely the zip TBH) which are being held up by a loose belt. I feel like a right lard arse! Looking forward to getting home and straight into leggings/pj's.

He's been taking those Wellman Conception vitamins religiously, not putting the laptop on his knee anymore, not allowing work to stress him out, eating well and cutting down on alcohol a lot. He didn't drink that much to start with, maybe 6 cans of lager a week but he hardly has any now.

Can't believe what a difference it's made. It also means if he keeps it up and we need another go, we can do ivf instead of ICSI which saves us £1200! I think why shouldn't men have to make drastic lifestyle changes after everything us women have to do.

I know it's hard but try not to worry now, it will have worked or it won't have by now. You can remind me i said this in two weeks!

I'm definitely not going to test before the hospital blood test. I've got a phobia of pregnancy tests anyway. I hate the bloody things.

Bunny that's fab honey. Must have been wonderful. Congratulations!!!

well done turq! and thanks for sharing your lovely news too bunny!

I'm back from clinic and now have to do the opk. When I get a positive, I go for another scan and 5 days later the FET! Doctor reckons maybe next weekend. lining is 7mm.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Yay - Turq! I love the period immediately after ET. I feel calm. It's all done, the outcome is out of your hands and you can drown in positive daydreams for a week or so before the end of the 2WW looms. Hope you're relaxing.

Nobeer - we are definitely going to be in this together! I'm back for a scan on Tues then, I assume, if all OK, ET will be about 5 days later; probably the day before or the day after Mother's Day. Hmm...
In 2012, I had ERPC on the day after Mother's Day so I guess it's an improvement!

Bunny - of course we remember you! Lovely news on your scan. Congrats again!

Bears - line thickening vibes right back at you. Good luck for tomorrow. Let us know your numbers.

MaryP - more +ve vibes for you.

Hi Fab.

Res honoured to be your cycle buddy!

Fab of course it was you! I remember now Hope all is well with you.

Bears hope you're home and in some comfy leggings now!

Mary How are you feeling today, love? Hope the clexane is doing its stuff!

Had a lovely busy day so no time to dwell..thank you all for your support. It really makes such a difference.
Fab thank you for de lurking! That info is really useful. How are things with you?
Res am really pleased that things are moving for you & that you are going to be pupo really soon
Nobeer I have to say your fet sounds awesome & so much more relaxing than a round with meds
turq your dh sounds very supportive & it just goes to show what a few changes can make. Hope you are now relaxing and enjoying being pupo

Bears there is no way of avoiding putting weight on when doing this shit so go and have a large piece of cake & enjoy. hope ec went according to plan & you are being spoilt
Bunny that is wonderful news. Congratulations!

Clexane was a bit stingy but ok. Gutted that I have to start stabbing again but if if helps then i'm more then happy to give it a whirl

turq great news that you're PUPO!
res things sound like they are going well, good to hear!
Sorry about the new stabbing mary just when you thought that bit was over! At least it hopefully will help.

Personal and possibly stupid question coming up. Can me and DP DTD bearing in mind I'm going to be ovulating very soon, and FET coming up in approx 1 week?

I don't see why not. Have fun

nobeer one woman on fertility friends had non-identical twins from a single FET... Must have been a natural conception along with the frostie. Clearly babies are like buses...

But what are the chances of that?

nobeer my clinic advised 'going for it' but said they would claim the credit for any resulting pregnancy
Congrats on going PUPO turq

Evening everyone else x

Yay! Congrats on being PUPO Turq, that's fantastic news, take it nice and easy this weekend. Also pass on a hearty well done to Mr Turq, that's an amazing improvement.

Mary, thinking of you with your extra jabs

Bunny your scan news is fantastic! Huge congratulations, you must be so excited! Did you get a nice clear image?

Bears, the very best of luck for tomorrow, sending positive thickening vibes!

Thank you all for your earlier congratulations, I'm still holding my breath until the 12 week scan

Have a lovely weekend all! X

OMG euro Anyway, how are you getting on?

cwtch how much longer have you got to wait? Are you managing to keep sane?!

I'm doing OK, thanks. 17 weeks and FAT. I'm still not quite believing it though.
