Over here...

Hi Stars and any pregnant lurkers (you know who you are!).

I'm still at St Marys Res as Care said they wouldn't accept my referral without my hysteroscopy results. So I figured I might as well stay were I am for this cycle as it's a 6 week wait for initial consult at care. I will move after this cycle if it doesn't work.

Not long until your FET! Is it unmedicated?

8.5mm!!

Hope you get good news too val x

Fab news Tame! Full steam ahead. Choo choo!

Good luck Val x

I've let my co-ordinator at Zlin know and she says to carry on with the same dose of oestradiol. Hopefully it should continue to thicken. No cysts or polyps either and she said the lining was perfectly triple lined.

tame that's brilliant! Well done to your lining!

tame that's brilliant! Well done to your lining!

Awesome news Nobeer .

And Tame, nice shag pile. Just waiting for my scan.

res I avoided heart palpitations but I have had chronic headaches on Viagra.

Well, I am still a lino tile (7.2) but we are going for it. Using the 2 day 3 ones, rather than day 5s...so ET on Monday! Eeek, eek and eeeeeek again!

This time in a fortnight I could have my BFP

PS I can tell you now I will not be showing the restraint that Bears and Nobeer have on early testing Tempted to POAS everyday so at least I am used to seeing only one line.

Tame and Val - well done - am jealous. Got my scan on Mon at 8 and dreading we'll still be at 6 or so...

Where were you at your last scan res? It's to do with quality too. My cons is taking the approaching that if this one fails we only need get to 7 next time provided the quality is good. What have you had on previous cycles?

Are you acupuncturing? I am a bit divided on the difference this makes - that said, maybe it would the really shit if I didn't

Val - it'll be Day 13 so first scan of the cycle. Didn't get beyond 6mm last cycle but never a real problem before; assumed OK when DD conceived, assumed OK with MMC, 8mm on OE cycle and 7mm on DE cycle when got BFP. Always had good 'quality' before too so no idea what went wrong in March!

No acu. Hate needles although this stuff has helped with that phobia at least. Went as far as emailing a clinic but took it no further...

Tame: 8.2 is pretty impressive! You must be pretty chuffed. I'm hoping this is your time.

Val: I was about where you are on this last cycle... And it worked for me. Best of luck!

How are you feeling no beer? Has it sunk in yet?

AFM: I had a blood test today and the clinic hasn't called with the results! Pretty hacked off to say the least. I called at 5.57 pm (clinic closes at 6) to check and the buggers had turned on their 'office is now closed' message). I even call their emergency number , but they didn't pick up (and what if it had been a real emergency I ask you?!!). Although I did test again this morning, I wanted them to confirm a healthy beta number. Anyway, guess its a small thing to be up in arms about.

So val and res are up next, where is everyone else at (beetle, how many weeks are you?).

Res: fingers cross for Monday. X

Hi bears! I'm fine, it still doesn't feel quite real! I'm getting lots of period type pains so I've already googled and this is apparently normal. Went to see GP so I'm in the system, so to speak.

Val everything crossed for Monday. Eek!
res sending positive vibes to your lining. Good luck to you for Mon.
tame when are you off to Czech Rep?

Lots of love to everyone else, I'm going away for a week so internet connection will be less! Happy Easter to all.

No beer: I've also had cramping (that's one of the reasons that I was convinced that it hadn't worked ... I was so sure my period was coming). I don't remember this happening with DS. I also never googled when pregnant with him like I do now. It's insanely, horrifyingly addictive (and I mean throughout this whole process, not just now!). Google is a wonderful and mean mistress... Have a great break where ever you're off too. Good timing!

I'm happy to say that the doc did call me back and my hCG levels and progesterone are good.

Waves to all the lovely egg buddies. Xx

No beer: have we killed this thread? It's very quiet here!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, val and res: keep growing those linings. Val: please don't think I showed restraint... My lack of testing was born through fear and fear alone. I am naturally a very impatient person!

We had dinner with friends last night who had a 12 week old baby and I held him (for the first time) and for the first time in a long time didn't have feelings of sadness and grief but happiness and joy. It felt good. I just pray this lasts.

Off to church... Need to pay the big guy some respect (though of course there was a lot of science involved, I still feel my present condition owes a lot to a miracle).

Wishing you all a very happy Palm Sunday lovely egg buddies! Xx

bears I hope not! I hope it's due to not everyone changing their passwords yet

Today is when Holy Week kicks off in style here. The whole town will be kitted out in new clothes, and out and about watching processions. Except for me and DP who are getting a flight. Can't wait to see family and friends!

Good luck res and val tomorrow. I'm thinking of you all and sending some positive vibes out to your uteruses!

Have a lovely break no beer. Spending quality time with family will be a real tonic. Xx

Oh Bears - you're having that time I want (and tasted briefly over Xmas) when (i) seeing sibling and/or (ii) holding a baby is just sweet time, not bittersweet. Too much of the latter here this weekend. Two children's parties (1yr on Sat and 4yrs today) involved lots of siblings and babies. For once, I just want to enjoy those moments without negative feelings surfacing.

PS Glad to hear they got back to you to confirm the hCG is as it should be.

Nobeer - hope you have a great trip.

Val - good luck for Monday.

Tame - let me know when you're off so we can synchronise ourselves virtually for ET!

Hello to everyone else.

Res- so far heading for ET on 22nd April. Am desperately nervous and trying to be positive. But also looking forward to time in Czech with DH and dd x

Argh thought if never get back on. Needed the laptop not phone! But only just got message saying I had to change password!

Nobeer and bears, still thinking of you lots and smiling

Res, hugs hun, it's so annoying having those feelings. I struggled to have DS, but didn't have the same bitterness or negativity then. Strangely, I do have it more now it doesn't make sense to me. I hate it. It's not an easy way for me to feel. I did, however, cuddle a good friends baby (6/7 month old) today for the first time and it was lovely. Still jealous though. And more so that he sleeps through the night and eats well already and my 3.8 year old doesn't do either of those things!!!

Res/Val, hoping all is good with your linings tomo. I'm keeping everything crossed xxx
