Aw you have a staffie...I love them. Brilliant family dogs (despite what everyone says) My cat is exactly the same, he always wants to sit on the laptop/phone/newspaper/whatever is taking away my attention from him!!

Hi Pink, yep last day done now, one more sleep until we find out our fate!! Tomorrow will be 12 days since transfer, 15 days since egg collection. We transferred on day 3, how about you? Thanks Pink, never felt like I needed luck more than now! How long after egg collection are they testing you? Do you think I could do a test tonight as haven?t had AF!? Bless you, think it really helps to be chilled and relaxed. I keep worrying that if I get stressed at work or work too much or something that we might get bad news! Aww thanks hun, same to you, I wish you all the luck in the world and it will be so much easier waiting around when your husband is home Smile! P.S. I have a staffy too and she has been my best friend throughout, there for a cuddle when I am crying for no apparent reason and there?s no one around haha. Can?t wait for my hormones to be normal again!

Thanks Summer, getting more and more nervous but I?ve got a good feeling about this so hopefully will be good news, would be lovely to spread more positivity in the hut! Good luck with your bloods, really hope you?ve ovulated Smile!

Hi Chair, glad your chat with the boss went well, sounds like she is very supportive. I?m sure this will make things that little bit easier now too Smile! x

summerintherosegarden · 26/09/2012 20:56

Infamous that has to be a good sign that AF hasn't shown up! Maybe wait for tomorrow morning if you can bear it as isn't the hormone meant to be strongest first thing in the morning?
Thanks for the wishes - hopefully there'll be lots and lots of good news in the hut over the next fortnight or so :)

pinkapples · 26/09/2012 21:11

Infamous there not doing blogs they just gave me an nhs hpt Hmm to do NEXT sunday (14 days from 5 day ET) I'm going to test in Wednesday tho which will be day 15 from EC

It's a very good sign AF isn't here fingers crossed for you can't wait to hear your news x Grin

pinkapples · 26/09/2012 22:13

summerintherosegarden · 27/09/2012 14:13

Am hoping you are okay infamous?

Not much more of today to get through pink! Put on an epic DVD and it'll be suppertime before you know it :)

pinkapples · 27/09/2012 14:22

Does anyone know if white hot chocolate has caffeine in? Really need a hot drink

pinkapples · 27/09/2012 16:59

Hope everyone's having a lovely day I am as hubby was on a secret course today not work so got home an hour ago! He's just taken the dogs out then that's the end to my boredom for 4 days at least ill have him to talk to Grin

flixy102 · 27/09/2012 17:55

Haha pink I hate being bored in the house, I usually end up cleaning or tidying or rearranging something! It's my last day at work tomorrow for 2 weeks, yee ha!

pinkapples · 27/09/2012 18:01

Hehe flixy hope you've got loads planned?

Only technically 5 days to go as I am going to test at 14dp egg collection 10dp5dt if I don't bleed before then Hmm praying!

Chilled out 4 days with hubby now woohoo

flixy102 · 27/09/2012 18:09

Yes pink we're going to Cyprus on Wednesday for a week, lots of sun worshipping, eating and cocktail drinking for me!!

I really hope I come back to some good news from u!!!

pinkapples · 27/09/2012 18:17

Oh wow that'll be lovely we said if this round failed we'd go on holiday might start looking on weds if its bad news don't want to jinx it before then Grin positive thinking is the key. Hubby needs a passport too!

Hope your ok infamous?

summerintherosegarden · 27/09/2012 20:43

Aw flixy lucky you, have a brilliant time.

Pink white hot choc would have barely any caffeine, it's in the cocoa but there shouldn't be much at all in the drink as white hot choc is mostly milk and sugar really! Check the label on your packet as to cocoa content but I imagine it'd be very, very low.

Infamous - thinking of you - hope all well.

infamousmrsjones · 27/09/2012 23:27

Evening ladies, so sorry it?s so late, looks like some of you were as keen as me to know hehe. Just wanted to let you know that we had our pregnancy test today and we got a POSITIVE!!! Hopefully this will help others feel positive too. We waited until the hospital test to find out to avoid disappointment or an incorrect test. Couldn?t be happier, but can?t quite believe it?s real!!! Thank you to everyone that has helped me along the way, I really appreciate it, couldn?t have done this without you guys Smile! Best wishes to pink and summer and everyone else in the hut Grin xx

pinkapples · 28/09/2012 07:09

Awww congratulations infamous! Grin

Can I ask what they transferred embryo wise? And did the grade it/them? Trying to fill myself with positivity that we can get 2 bfps in the hut Grin

HaveALittleFaith · 28/09/2012 07:13

Fantastic news infamous! :)

Keeping up the hope and positive vibes pink!

Mands81 · 28/09/2012 07:50

Congratulations infamous!! Grin such happy, happy news - without doubt giving us all hope and positive vibes! Smile
Hope everyone else is doing ok and had decent weeks. Very happy the weekend is nearly here!
Start triple dose clomid Monday, last lot of clomid for us. I'm trying to be positive but I think I already know it won't work Sad
Have lovely weekends take care x

pinkapples · 28/09/2012 08:01

Awww mands stay positive it's not over till its over. I did a hpt today 5dp5dt and it was BFN so at least I know the injection is out of my system. Too early for a BFP I know but any change now and it's real! Fingers crossed for Wednesday (maybe Tuesday hehe)

summerintherosegarden · 28/09/2012 08:13

Oh thank goodness infamous! I was starting to get a bit worried.... so, so, so happy to hear your news. Fingers now very tightly crossed for a healthy nine months! :)

Pink - we're on a roll, you're next! Grin

Mands - do stay positive, triple dose is obviously much stronger than double, it might well just take that extra 50mg to kick start your ovaries into action.

Have a lovely weekend everyone - looking forward to more good news next week courtesy of pink!

Devilforasideboard · 28/09/2012 17:48

Amazing!!! Congratulations infamous!! Grin

Hope everyone else is doing well today. Hopefully this is the start of a roll for us all. I had acupuncture today and feel fantastic now Smile

pinkapples · 28/09/2012 17:55

I always planned to have acupuncture devil but never did

Having a negative day today have the feeling that it can't work for everyone and it was infamous' time not mine Sad hey ho ill perk up again tomorrow probably having some cramps again today but surely it's too early for AF?

Hope your ok today infamous and enjoying the 'I'm pregnant' feeling Grin

delilahbelle · 28/09/2012 21:04

Hi all.
Blood test result for me on Monday hopefully - will find out if I can start IVF next cycle or whether I need another course of Humira.
Typically I have just started spotting and expect AF to be here in full flow tomorrow, so I am going to be waiting at least a month, and possibly more. Ah well, more time to save up for the treatment/drugs - I have nearly £4k squirreled away at the moment, shame it's going on IVF rather than something fun. It feels like a huge gamble to me, but what the hell, you can't take it with you.

pink keeping my fingers crossed for you.
infamous huge congrats, hope the next 9 months go well.
