Early pregnancy after IVF. Please come here to worry and support!

[NookNook]

Right then! Come here if you are 4-12 weeks and can't stop fretting. Didn't think anything could be worse than the 2WW? Think again!

I will move closer to you if you're promising regular cakeage.

Get knotted, Maybs, I've already fed the troops wiv me cottage pie, innit.

Does anyone live anywhere near me?

You wait Prammy, come midnight, those cakes'll be nabbed....

Also I bloody love ginger. DH has a complex as he is not ginger!!

Move Nook. That's all.

Just because th'usband went to prison once years ago he thinks it's imperative to watch Crimewatch every single month to see if any of his old comrades are on

...which is why we were not allowed to adopt ('cos of prison, not 'cos we watch Crimewatch).

I have no idea if anyone lives near you Pram you're very far north of the Watford gap... .

Prammy this is the most exciting news I've heard all week!!

Anything north of the M25 is the top of the world as far as I'm concerned.....

That sucks Pram

The adoption thing not that fact that you're northern...

I realise that sounded somewhat insensitive

It does indeed suck, but I can totally understand social services being wary of someone with a predilection for goats.

Nook, I'm giggling away here at your bumbling

..."baaaa....!"

Goats?! Tell me more Prammy....

Th'usband thinks it is appalling that I have joked about him rogering goats. He's none too happy that I've told you he's an ex-con either I told him to calm down and that there is no way the girls will guess I am married to Mick Philpott.

Oh Prammy you crack me up!!! What would we do without you?!!

Good luck for today prammy. Poor mr prammy getting exposed on the thread!

Good luck Prammy, can't wait to hear all about it!!

How you feeling today Fish?

A lot better thanks.

Chances are I would be bleeding if something was wrong and I've not bled at all. Todays test (cheapie) is as strong as normal and there's no point in my preparing for the worst as I will be distraught if it happens anyway.

So My mental attitude is much better.

For now...

Hurrah Fish I'm so pleased to hear it. Glad that today's test has reassured you. I've heard soapy people get in a panic over the digitals not going up, and they are all fine. So you have nice plans for the weekend to distract you?

Good luck for the scan today prammy. Can't wait to see/hear how your little peanut is progressing.

Glad you're feeling a bit better today fish.

Hi maybe and nook.

Well, after a blissful few days of feeling that everything was good with the world, I'm afraid I have returned to an 'it's all over' mode. My hcg on Monday was 22000 ish and yesterday was 31000. That means that the increase has slowed considerably, which has worried me. Now from what I have read, once the level gets over 6000 the rate of increase reduces and can take "4 or more days to double", so I guess it is consistent with that but still.. Anyway, I am trying not to panic, and just hold out for the scan on Wednesday. I have considered bringing it forward, but we have got a very social weekend coming up, and if I have a scan now and see no heartbeat, I will not be able to manage the weekend at all, so I figure I should just keep to Weds. Sorry to be a misery-guts.

maybe 'soapy people'??

Sorry you're having a wobble Motor, but it sounds like your levels are doing exactly what they're meant to be. And don't apologise

You can always rely on me for an iPad typo!! It should read so many
