they all sound good. i will locate my list for you. i found that bombarding them with q's and really sounding like i'd done my research made them take me more seriously.

I've just had blood taken again. I'm really hoping my HCG is back to normal now. I don't want another blood test.

Fingers crossed for you lissie.

are you well enough? you have had major surgery!

jess1996 · 17/08/2007 14:30

I'll take it easy to begin with. I'm just bored being at home by myself and I've been feeling so much better for the last couple of days. If it's too much I'll tell them and come home again! I really need to take my mind off things as well.

ikwym! I was shaking when I called them, even though I was pretty sure it would be ok. I was a bit nervous that it would start to rise again. I thought it had to be

HCG levels were less than 1 so not pg. never thought id be relieved to say that!

That's good news. That bfp must have been a one-off. Are you still taking a break till October?

Good news Lissie, Like you said this is why you want to give ttc a break. concentrate on the move and time will fly by. Have started packing boxes yet.

i can move in peace and get trollied tonight. still have to have bloods done on monday but...

Rainbowdays · 17/08/2007 21:11

Lissie - phew! that is good to hear that you are getting trollied tonight, hope the move goes well too. Just one thing that crossed my mind, when my levels were still low, one person at the epu said that you can get a faint postive on a pg test at the time of ovulation!!! She said it is the same principle as why you can use ov sticks to test for pg! So don't know whether this was a possibility in your case, but just thought I would mention it anyway. Keep up the good work of keeping sain while not-ttc!

Jess - good to hear that your levels are going down as they should.

how is everyone doing? im on CD2 and thinking about resuming ttc this month, what do you think?

OP posts:
jess1996 · 23/08/2007 16:23

Hi Lissie, I'm doing ok. I'm going on holiday tomorrow. I'm thinking about ttc again next month. I don't know if it's too soon, but I'm finding it frustrating not-ttc. From cm I think I OVd last weekend, so hopefully I will have af in about 10 days time. How long did you leave it after your ectopic? The leaflet I was given said "some doctors recommend waiting for two periods, but a good guide is when you feel emotionally and physically ready". So it's a bit vague. So are you going to ttc this month or are waiting for your consultant's appointment?
