Amazing news, Gill! I'm grinning here!
does this mean I should test tomorrow?

IamKuma · 28/04/2015 20:18

Yay Gill !!!!! Looks like a good double strength line Grin

Pixie001 · 28/04/2015 21:03

TheRainDrops · 28/04/2015 21:06

Gill!!!! Amazing! So pleased for you, we really need to petition MN for a pompom emoticon but have some Star Star Star for now.

Woop woop! Grin

Jelliebabe2 · 28/04/2015 21:26

Meeeeep! Gill that's brilliant news! What next? Do you get a blood test? Early scan?!?!?!?! Grin Grin Grin

Gillster · 28/04/2015 21:50

Thanks for all your lovely comments Berries, it's all quite overwhelming.

Not entirely sure of the next steps re: tests and scans. I will retest tomorrow morning (this is as much for DH's benefit as he didn't entirely understand the photo I sent him!). I guess once I call the hospital I'll find out more.

Not sure about the early testing Spare as think your transfer was 2 days after mine but your OTD is only one day after? It was quite a strong line though so maybe??? For those who asked, today would be 13dp2dt.

Anyway enough about me, it's all eyes on Tiger tomorrow for EC. Hope you're feeling relaxed and enjoying your injection free day. Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you, Spare and Lucie and you other ladies who are not too far behind.

barkingtreefrog · 28/04/2015 22:48

Waaaahht?!!! I can't believe you did that to me gill, you said you weren't poas until the morning so I didn't bother checking in earlier!!!!!!

Whoop Whoop!!!!! Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Gillster · 28/04/2015 23:21

I learnt from the best Barking! Wink

tigerdog · 28/04/2015 23:26

Thanks gill I did have a nice injection free day, went out with Mr T and am feeling chilled. I keep trying to focus on the consultant saying that my response could not have been better and blocking out any niggling doubts!

Smidge001 · 28/04/2015 23:50

Woop woop! Gill that is fantastic! Makes all those delays worthwhile doesn't it!! It does look a very strong line for 13dp2dt, so I might be tempted to call out twins too Grin. Oh well done you!!!

greatbigbushybeard · 28/04/2015 23:51

Yay!!! Way to go gil, you so deserve this & it's way over due. Come on over to the chopper when you're ready; it'll be nice to have more members as it can be a little quiet & you guys are always nattering on here.

chloechloe · 29/04/2015 03:40

So I'm regularly stalking you guys for good news! Gil AMAZING news!!!!! All the waiting paid off. Looks like a really strong line for just the one!?!? So happy for you and good luck to everyone else!

sparechange · 29/04/2015 06:37

BFN for me.
I'll test again tomorrow but it looks like I'm out

barkingtreefrog · 29/04/2015 07:10

spare I'm so, so sorry, just hits you like a hammer to the chest Sad . You're not necessarily out yet though, one of the BESH had a bfn on her otd but is now 12 weeks. Thanks

happylass · 29/04/2015 07:12

Big hugs spare it's so unfair Thanks

tiger good luck today!

lucieloos · 29/04/2015 09:50

Really sorry to hear that spare. Thinking of you. I was stupid and tested today as have seen a lot of people get bfps at 5dp5dt so 10dpo but it was a bfn for me on a frer. I know it's early but just though as we had two hatched blasts that it might have shown something by now.

nolly3 · 29/04/2015 10:29

Spare I'm so sorry - very tough for you. Nothing much to say but I know how difficult these moments are to get through.

gil just saw your news and I'm so pleased for you! Really excellent!! I know what you mean abotu the shaking - even if you think of yourself as a sanguine fatalist the adrenalin is incredible. Huge congratulations :)

nolly3 · 29/04/2015 10:37

Gil when do you go for blood test at clinic? am excited about twin possibility:)

beakybeak · 29/04/2015 10:55

Spare im so sorry to hear you got a bfn, I was really rooting for you. Flowers

Gill fantastic news totes twinz have you rang the clinic?

Tiger good luck for EC today! Grin
