OK, so how about we start of on a positive....

I bought the test.

I did the test.

BFP .

Job done.

Hello everyone and sorry for being absent for a while . I am very busy being unemployed wink].

I was at Wimbledon on Monday and saw the Andy Murray five set thriller match with the roof closed . It was an amazing atmosphere and I could hardly watch it i was so excited and nervous for him. I'd taken my Saltire (Scotland flag) with me and waved it like a mad woman! The noise of cheering with the roof closed was incredible!

I've also had the family staying with me too so not a minute to myself as they want to do all the tourist things in London (yes, even in 33C heat ). Our computer is in the spare room and I didn't want to be seen logging on to Mumsnet in front of my mum, so I haven't been able to log on until now to post properly and check how you all are

caitni - so excited about your bourgening (SP?) pregnancy symptoms I shall be looking out in ernest for myself in a few weeks Have you come to a conculsion about the hospital for you? IT's great you have the choice and I;ve heard that Homerton is definitely one to avoid, from my friends.

Jolly - is your DD enjoying the sunshine where you are?

MOB- any sign of your two little trouble makers yet? Sooo excited for you!!! Let's hope the births don't clash with the Grand Prix, so you can have the best of both worlds. If they do turn up in the middle of lap 6, you'll have to call them Lewis and Jenson

ei - glad to hear you enjoyed sunny Stirling. Did you meet Mibbles? Hope your sister got some good ideas for her book? I have all my fingers crossed for a BFP for you thi smonth - any news?

Bucky - if you are checking in, did you hear back from the Hammersmith Hospital yet about possible start dates? Hope you are having a lovely time in Austria and the summer monsoon has stopped

MrsH - ahhh, your daughter's comment is adorable. What a sweetie! I hope the courgette is can-cannign away and moving lots. How is work with you?

Ooooh, I like the idea of a GFP ! I want one! The stimming seems to be going ok, because my tummy feels very tender/swollen and sort of "full" like last time, so hopefully I'm full of lovely ripe eggs. Fingers crossed! I have my Day 9 Scan tomorrow (at 7am ) to check progress, so I'll know soon how many eggs there are and how I am progressing after that. Hopefully egg collection mid next week .

I have my oldest friend's hen weekend on Friday/Saturday in Cardiff. I didn't want to miss it despite the IVF (unless it was e/c or transfer of course), but I've had a high old time trying to sort out how to deal with all the drugs! The stimming stuff has to be refrigerated, so I've had to get the hotel to sort out a fridge for me in the room (no mini bar) and work out how to transport my super-delicate (and suspicious looking) drugs paraphenalia from London to Wales during a heatwave, without spoiling a £300-a-pop pre-filled drug syringe. A cool bag and some of those blue picnic bag chillers you keep in the freezer and use for keeping food cool should do it according to the doctor, but it's a hassle. I'm also sharing a room with my old flatmate, which I agreed to without thinking, so I'll have to sneak around at 7am and try not to shock her by shooting up in the bathroom

Hope you are all well. Come and post all your news here everyone!

GGx

morning ladies
no news from me as yet im now CD36 and 17DPO i havent tested simply as i havent had any but im off to pick them up from royal mail depot later after work (i bought that many they wouldnt fit through the letter box from babymad and got a saliva ov predictor aswell just in case Af decided to make an unwelcome appearance!! i have been spotting very lightly on and off since saturday which is HIGHLY unusual for me as usually its 1/2 a day of light spotting then full whack AF so if im not up the duff god knows whats happening (its not like me to have a confusing period crisis is it
GG glad the stimming is going well have a great time on your friends hen weekend
hope everyone else is ok
xx ei xx

i decided to name change again
whaddya all think?? does it suit me??
xx ei xx

Oh ButterflEi I LOVE the new name . And lady, you need to get some tests cos I cannot stand the tension! Am fervently hoping it's good news . Also the sooner you know then the sooner you can get the medication you need .

GG am so so of you getting to wave the saltire at Murray's match on Monday! Twas great to watch on telly and I'm rooting for him . Good luck tomorrow morning (what an early start [ouch]) - can't wait to hear how your lovely eggs are developing . Hope you get a good haul . What a hassle that your stim drugs need to be refrigerated - mine weren't, only the pregnyl trigger shot - but the ice packs should help. The hen weekend should be the perfect way to get a bit of R&R before egg collection .

So nowt new here...still no MS (and still kind of wishing I had some ) but had to have some tea this morning (first caffeine in aaaaages) as am so bloody knackered. Falling asleep on the sofa (and sometimes at lunchtimes ) is my new hobby...my boobs are so sore I'm tempted to sleep in a bra ...Also have bleeding gums, which my younger sister had in the early days with both of her pregnancies. TMI alert but am also quite constipated...to the point of considering looking into some sort of laxative . Can't shake the sort of Karen Carpenter connotations of laxatives but I think I need something in spite of gobbling loads of fibre ...

Oh and JollyBear my scan is on 14 July so still a loong way off (days are slowly ticking by though ). My DH is still convinced that it's twins (has been saying that since we had two blasts put back) but the lack of MS makes me think it's just the one . Hope your DD is enjoying the sunshine . I bet she has some super cute sun hats .

Caitni I had no morning sickness with either pregnancy and the only real symptom I had this time was extreme tiredness I agree with your DH

GG Sounds like a bit of a hassle being a legal druggie lol hope you have a great time and relax in time for EC

ButterflEI Great new name, cant believe you have resisted testing just how many tests have you ordered if they dont fit
through the letter box??!! Wishing you luck for testing x

Well I am being killed of by this heatwave I cant go out after midday unless I know there will be extreme air con lol.

I have a maximum of 7 weeks to go now and am getting really excited (and nervous lol) I wasnt going to bother with going home outfits this time but then I saw the cutest little outfits today and had to buy them
Need to have words with my DS though its his 3rd Birthday tomorrow and he is obsessed with the number 3 so has decided that we are now having 3 babies think he may be disappointed lol

hey ladies
R4N2&3 wow how exciting that you only have 7 weeks max i ordered cheapo tests and 2 CBD's as they were on offer and also one of the saliva ov predictors just in case so the jiffy bag must be HUGE!!
caitni lovely symptoms there lady maybe its boys in there as from most accounts of preggos having boys there is no MS but there again its early days and you will be wishing you could take that comment back after 3/4 weeks of no food and constant vomming i cant wait for my turn for the MS
xx ei xx

Wooo GG at wimbledon! It was a v exciting match. Does your friend know about the IVF? It might be hard to hide a fridge . Cardiff is such a fun place, DH went to uni there (where we met when I was visiting a friend) so has lots of lovely memories for me .

ei Love the name change. 17DPO and no testing . Nerves of steel!

caitni Honestly, get a non-wired bra and sleep in it. Keeping the girls under control at all times does help with the pain. I didn't get any nausea until 6 weeks and boy, was I sick! On the, ahem, blockage front, try some all bran or prune juice, mmm yum. You can't take most sorts of laxative whilst preggers.

R4n2&3 Ahh now very sweet. Hope DS has a lovely birthday.

DD and I are spending lots of time indoors as I'm scared of her getting burnt . She's been sat in the washing up bowl in the shade today! Only the best for my daughter . MNing whilst she has a nap!

Hello ladies!

Apologies for lack of posting - i have spent the past few days in a sweaty heap, only moving when necessary!

Bucky Hope you are having a lovely time in Austria. Come back and start us a new thread - it has to be you!

RFN2&3 Crumbs, it's getting close for you as well! Assume you are loving the heat as much as me at the moment .

MrsH Naughty courgette getting you worried! It's awful when they do that. Glad she got wriggling again.

Caitni Sounds like you are being very restrained about continuing to POAS. I'm impressed. Don't think that lack of MS at this stage means there's only one - i didn't have any at 5 weeks... I also had bleeding gums early on...

GG Sorry - i have been slow to respond about the CD. I am a bit concerned it may be the same one / woman (it's called making babies and has a horseshoe on the front). I'm more than happy to send it to you though, just let me know. I am so that you saw all that fantastic tennis!! I was glued to the TV. I really think he can do it this year. LOL at Lewis & Jenson!! I think some people wouldn't be surprised if i did call them that!!! Good luck trying to hide your drug habit in the hotel!!

EI Lovely, summery new name Will you go and test woman!!!!

JB LOL at DD in the washing up bowl!

PnM How are things (and the hormones)

Thanks for the suggestions of big knickers post cs! Large quantities have been bought & packed! Had my last scan this week - all looking fine, and both breech, so definitely on for the cs. It's a week tomorrow I'm not sure the babies are going to wait that long though, as i've been losing a lot of the "plug", especially over the past 24hrs. Watch this space!

MOB just read your post - OMG your babies could be here so soon!!!! Am getting so excited for you (they must not want their mama to suffer in this heat any more ).

MOB cant believe you are so close to meeting your boys Yep definately loving this heat lol I think its actually trying to kill me!!
If you have a fan put a big bowl of water with lots of ice cubes in and place it infront of the fan, it really does help

Jollybear Loving the washing up bowl idea and can totally understand the sunburn worries,DS gets plastered in f50 every 1/2 hour and must wear a sunhat and long sleeves when playing outside!
