    Hello everyone,

    Was in another thread all by myself with no one to chat with. So I thought I would come over here, hope its o.k.
    I was wondering if you guys could help out with a question that I have.

    I've got one week left of my 2ww, not feeling very positive at all. Actually Not feeling anything, I have no pregnancy signs at all.
    Still have the sore throat and the bad cough though. And you should see the bruises from the Clexane injections. Ouch. Rang lab and had to cancel my NK Cell test : ( cause of the bad cold I caught.

    I had asked my clinic to have a blood test for my progesterone levels. So on 30th December, 7 days after ovulation 4 days after transfer my levels were 41.
    SO is that good or average. My clinic said it was good. I have no idea whats good as this is the first time I asked for this test.
    Some help from you ladies with regards to Progesterone levels would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Hi girls,

    Danyelle best of luck with your last week of TWW, im not an expert on progestrone levels, but I do know that if your levels get higher, that is a GOOD sign!!!!
    I know because I had been waiting for mine to drop and get AF to start my 1st stim cycle. Good luck to you XX

    Emeraldstar I hope your FS appt goes well tomorrow XX 12th Jan is only a millysecond away, days are going so fast already this year!!

    Brunette how did the Accupuncture go?? I was terrified the first time I had accupuncture as I am terrified of needles (go figure!)
    Some little pins I never felt, and others hurt a little, but in the end the experience was relaxing, and I have been back several times since!
    Hope that you enjoy your holiday comming up!! Please Please have a fizzy for me, and enjoy while you can, that detox sounds like uuummmmm....fun

    AFM had my 4th FSH thisevening, am starting to feel a bit tender and heavy. All in all am doing well XXX

    Hey All

    Danyelle, I'm not sure what levels are good or not, sorry. I'm still reeling over the Estrodial levels and what they all mean.

    Emerald Star - Good luck

    AFM, the transfer was cancelled, cos my Estrodial counts were still too high and FS worried about OHSS. I am glad in some ways, because I am very bloated and having some shortness of breath, and I was told OHSS can get worse after about day 5 from EPU and even worse if you are pregnant. So I wouldn't want to have to stress about a baby and OHSS. Still very disappointing. They froze 10 eggs with 8 cells or more on Friday (Day 3), and they had another 5 they were monitoring to see if they grew more and were worth freezing.
    I have to rest for 4 weeks for ovaries to come back to normal size, anf then anouther 8 weeks for body to fully recover before we can do a FET. So a bit of a pain that we have to wait so long!!

    Hope you are all well!

    Babytruj how frustrating!!! AAAGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
    Poor darling I hope that you feel better soon XXX Atleast you will get to go away like you had said earlier, but gee the few month wait seems a bit harsh!!!!

    It's things like this that I have no idea of, that can happen to me, I shouldnt get so excited, so many people have told me to be prepared for the worst stressfull journey, but the mind won't quite come down from cloud nine yet...(remind me of this when I feel like 'crapoli' soon!!)

    Anyways take care, and hope that you can feel better very soon XXX

    Hi Ladies,
    I hope the new year brings much needed hope and much awaited good news to all the ladies on this thread. It's time to wash away past disappointments and worries and embrace new goals and dreams in 2010! ...Atleast that's what I'm telling myself, lol!



    I haven't been on bellybelly since Sept last year. I found it a bit hard after my last BFN to talk about it to anyone. Knowing that if we weren't successful that we only have one last frostie left was too much to bear. DH was wonderful. So we decided to have a break and wait until the new year. So FET here we come!

    Our lucky last FET will be around the 22nd or 23rd Jan. Are any of u lovely ladies cycling around the same time?

    I promise to catch up with ur stories next time as I'd love to see if there are any familiar names.

    Jen

    Hey there

    Murraycod, it is frustrating, when you go through all the jabs not to put the egg back, but the main thing is my health and safety. No point me having issues then so will the baby if we get the BFP.
    I think you have to try and be excited. It is hard, and probably the worst bit is the emotions at the end of each cycle - either a BFP or a BFN. But you have to be hopeful that the BFP will appear.

    Spring, welcome back, and good luck with your FET!

    Juniper - Why your sleep patterns messed up? Hopefully you can have a relaxing day

    AFM, I need to call the embryologist to see if there were any additional embryo's frozen, and speak to the FS to see if I still need to be eating egg whites - 8 a day seems a bit excessive - and gets very boring, cos after you have 3 for breakfast and for lunch - you are too full to eat anything else
