Bears congrats honey
Tame, very possible it's irritation from pessaries. Can you do up back door for next few days and see if it calms down. I've only ever done back door myself! Sorry you're feeling so worried hun. Difficult not to after past experiences I imagine. Keeping everything crossed today for your blood test. Will you repeat in 2 days to compare? X

Bears that's fantastic news 
I hope the next two weeks to your scan fly by x
Tame ((hugs)) It's completely normal to be this worried. I've been there with bleeding after my BFP and I was absolutely terrified. I think it does sound like irritation, I agree with Stars to try using back door to see if that helps. I know my story didn't have a happy ending but I was having very heavy constant red bleeding. Lots of egg buddies have had spotting and faint lines on tests and everything has been fine. Keep taking deep breaths and remind yourself today you are pregnant xx
Turq it does sound like short would be worth a shot then. I had gonal f last time. It didn't seem to work for me so I'm trying menopur next. The drugs affect everyone differently so it may be that gonal f is the one for you.
Lumen I think a few people have used embryo glue. I've been told at my clinic that it may help but there's not much research on it yet. They seem to think it doesn't do any harm though and seems fairly cheap so might be worth giving it a go.

It really isn't a bad thing Tame ((((hugs)))) For a start they are all consistent and all still there! I have read it can be down to the amount of dye in the test. If it was a very early chemical pregnancy you would expect the line to disappear, esp by OTD. I am a fine one to talk but please try not to worry. Fingers crossed tomorrow you will be posting and 'Oh, fuck my HCG is in the 1000s' post
Lumen - yes, you should have two HCG tests 24 hours apart. These confirm the level of HCG in the blood. You are looking to see the level approx. double in 48hrs. If it isn't it could be an indication of an ectopic or failing pregnancy. Not sure mine mentioned it until ET day....and then it was in passing in the "take a PG test, if it's positive then call and we'll arrange a blood test"

Thanks Val. Just arrived for ET. Alone. DH has surpassed himself. First, he suggested that he could attend a telephone conference whilst we were driving in which I vetoed. Then he said he'd have to bring his laptop so I told him not to bother. So, here I am on my own. Again. For the 3rd time. I've been on drugs for weeks, had to arrange scans, appointments, drug purchasing etc etc while still having to work and he can't give me 2 hours. He really doesn't give a shit.

Sorry res, sounds pants. Sending lots of hugs, hope it all goes ok.
Val thx for the info. Is all very new to me but learning a lot from you lovely bunch
Just had a lady from our clinic visit me to take some blood for their research pjts. Took her over 30 mins to get one vial and ended up using a vein in my hand. But I persevered as one pjt is to test amh levels which I have not had done as standard and I get to have the results at the end of my cycle. Might help if this one is not successful.

Res I am so sorry he just doesn't get it. It is so easy for men to be removed from this process. fingers crossed you are PUPO as I type
Lumen it might be worth asking them to make sure they know your AMH levels before you start stimming? AMH is a test that is compuslory at our clinic. If you have a low/high reserve it will influence the doses of FSH drugs they put you on.

OK. Slightly calmer (!) now. I might have overreacted just a little 
but in my defence it is a stressful time . He's still a dick though and I've just told him that if it works, I will tell the child that Daddy couldn't be bothered to turn up for his/her transfer cause work was more important. I'm so mature.
Anyway, Now PUPO. Both embies thawed with 100% of cells in tact. So, 2 blasts - one expanding/ed and one hatching safely aboard. OTD 13 May so I guess that I'll do it on about 18/19 May - remember that I'm a BIG coward.
And relax...

Hi One. D'you know, I think I'm owed twins . Was just contemplating that I should have had 3 DCs by now (or soon) born Jan 11, Oct 12 and Aug 14 so it'd feel right. I'm strangely optimistic.

Res you are PUPO!! Sorry to hear DH was a bit useless. I'm 
on your behalf. They sound like two fab embies. We will probably end up testing at the same time if you take as long as you did last time
Just a flying visit as I'm of to meet DH in town for shopping and food.
