    Hi ladies,

    I haven't popped in fopr a while. I was expecting to be overwhelmed but it looks like evryone is getting busy. i hope you are all able to take some time out for yourselves.

    Liitlemissmoo- Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

    Leabie- I am not patient at all and I did have another test, today in fact, I will let you know more about that in the AFM. I am glad I am not the only impatient one out there. I hope you are not finding the TWW too painful.

    Terry- Hope you are coping well with TWW. Giving up coffee is a killer! I haven’t got heartburn, but I can not stop burping. It is so ridiculous, I was burping and nauseas from about two days before BFP, which prompted me to take the test.

    Loops- Hope you are well and coping ok with the wait.

    Juniper- Hope AF shows up soon. Can I ask why you were put on low dose asprin? Have you been diagnosed with a clotting problem? I looked into it because I thought that may be why I have had two miscarriages, but there was no issue. I was so tempted to try it anyway just in case it helped with blood flow.

    Coral- Great to hear from you, how exciting to get to the scan stage and finally see it all happening. What forum are you on now? I am not sure where i am supposed to go now that I have had a positive result.

    Milly- I have my fingers crossed for you.

    Emerald- You can leave me on the list!!! I hope your poor tummy copes with all those injections. I was on two a day and towards the end I was so tender.

    Hi to anyone I missed and to all those lurkers out there.

    AFM I had another blood test today because I just couldn’t wait until Monday to see how everything is progressing. The good news is HCG is 1325, The annoying news is my scan has been shifted to next Thursday. I really think I am going to go insane! They are all still a bit unsure about what is going on so I am trying not to get too excited. I am also terrified of another MC so everyday is a plus. I have never actually made it to the 7 week scan. I am feeling positive though.

    Hi lovely ladies!

    Hope you're all well, have been lurking the last few days, just trying to ride out the 2WW.

    Loops12 - thanks for the info. I'm taking chastetree too, hopefully its helping us, right?! Hope you're doing well.

    Babytruj - sorry AF was horrendous. Had that last AF after a cancelled IUI. Hope you're feeling better soon, and that your cycles sort themselves out.

    Juniper76 - fingers crossed that AF turns up by the 30th! I'm on aspirin (taking Cartia), I take it in the morning, only because I take 10 tablets at night, and only 8 in the morning, so slotted it in the morning bunch! I don't know if it matters what time you take it, I would assume that the most important thing is to take it at the same time? I'm taking it as I have ANA, is that the same for you?

    Coral73 - congratulations! A heartbeat... how beautiful to see! Hope you have a great 9 months, and everything goes swimmingly!

    Milly5 - hope everything goes well for you and you don't have to make that FS appointment in January! Even if you do, you'll get lots of support in this forum.

    Sonyalouise - sooo excited for you. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that everything goes smoothly. Bummer the scan has been shifted, stay positive though sweetie! They'll work out whats going on.

    Hi to everyone I've missed!

    AFM - having a bit of a sucky 2WW, sore BBs and cramping, but hey, you get that. Got 9 days til the BT, seems like forever away at this stage!

    Have a good week everyone.

    Hi ladies

    Glad to see some of you have popped back in

    Leabie 9 days does seem like forever I've got roughly the same amount to go. Cramping might be a good sign that its implanting so

    sonyalouise I know we get impatient sometimes and it's good that your staying positive just remeber just because it happened once doesn't mean it will happen again

    AFM still feeling quite normal noticed yersterday that some of my veins are popping up around my chest and BB's hope this is good. Today its actually quite a cool day in Melb at the moment and I sit under an air con but I am sweating as if its was 40 degrees starting to go a bit crazy thinking could my hormones be rising? I've been hot since jumping out of the shower so hot that I turned the air con on at home at 7 in the morning

    sonyalouise, I had blood taken last Friday to test for clotting disorders, but we don't have the results yet. He said we'd add the aspirin anyway since it might help and won't hurt. We decided against adding the prednisone without a diagnosed problem at this stage given the potential s/e. Sorry to hear your scan has been shifted. I hope the next week goes very quickly for you!

    Leabie, I got the Cartia too. I followed a similar philosophy - was taking one less tablet at night so added it then. The information in the pack just says to take it at the same time every day. As I said above, I haven't been diagnosed with anything yet, but we should have the b/t results by the time we next see the FS.

    Juniper, I am taking Cartia for the first time this cycle (as well as Prednisone and clexane). My EPU is now booked for this Friday. My FS has told me to take all 3 at the same time - in the morning. I don't know if it matters whether it is night or day; probably more so that you take it at the same time each day, as the instructions say.

    I'm not looking forward to the EPU. I hate going under. I feel so sick in the stomach with nerves before they wheel you into surgery. ET is not pleasant either, but the thing I handle the worst is the dreaded TWW. I drive myself mad - not to mention my partner

    Hey Juniper

    I started taking aspirin this cycle and found that i bled more than usual from my blood test... i recommend taking the aspirin after the blood test so it has 24 hours to go thru your system before the next test. For example. I get my BT done at 7am, so I recommend taking the aspirin at 7.15am every morning... just a thought.

    Hope it all goes well.
