thanks you ALL so much for the lovely well wishes! It feels quite surreal to see all of those 'congratulations' addressed to me! I dont know if its quite hit me yet! dh and i are both walking around in a daze!
i tested again with the ebay cheapys and a first response and both significantly darker! so very happy to see it darkening! Im having my BT on wednesday and then again on friday so feeling a little nervous but just have to take it one day at a time... I think the best way to sum it up is that we a cautiously ecstatic, knowing only too well how quickly things can change. we have told both sets of parents and my sisters so its been wonderful seeing them so thrilled and i think they shed more tears than us!! We are just blown away that IUI worked 1st try! Cant believe how lucky we were, i thought we were in for the long haul! very blessed! I am a little worried though cause i feel like AF is coming having a lot of cramping today and its stressing me! If i hadnt have tested i would swear AF would be arriving tomorrow, oh please lord dont take it all away...
Alice - so glad you have had some good nites sleep! and wonderful news on your embies! clever little ones! you must be so chuffed!! I got goose bumps reading about the images you have, so gorgeous! And its wonderful you found out that you were having a little boy... we tried to find out what our little one was but the ob only tested bubs for genetic problems, and not chromosomal.... I have everything crossed for you for tomorrow, you will be in my prayers... hope you have a wonderful nights sleep and everything goes perfect ! xx
Mrs Crafty!!! Hang on a minute woman.... werent you tellin me the other day that 9dpo was too early to test!?! Your guilty!!! It IS too early and I am walking talking proof!!! hang in there!!!! xx

thanks again everyone for the messages! i hope so so so so so much that there are more BFP's in here within the next few days, weeks and mths!
Crafty/T-Hopes all my BFP were 9dpo except for abbi at 14 dpo so i am walking takling proof times 4 lol.
Hi everyone not up for to much gossip soooooooooooooooo tired i have jusr worked 24 hrs out of the last 48 and i am stuffed.
Hope everyone is well i am getting very nervous about wednesday so scared it will be another sick bub.
Ferrals, I was just lying on the lounge thinking about the day 3 vs day 5 thing and remembered your bub was a day 3 transfer and then was thinking about that study they just did on day 5 IVF bubs being more likely to be a boy...and thought maybe you're having a girl! Will you find out on Tuesday at the scan? You must be feeling so anxious about it. I'll be thinking of you and hanging to hear your news.
Well, no update today so we'll just have to wait to tomorrow to see what we have now. Last time from 5 grade 1s we got 1 grade 2 so just hoping that we can do at least the same. The FS says the grading is more for the embryologists and that it doesn't seem to make any difference to the result - plenty of grade 3s go on to be BFPs and plenty of grade 1s fail so it's a bloody guessing game 100% of the way.
T-hopes, I think I told you before I had such strong AF cramps the day of my pg test last year that I nearly didn't bother going down for it. It was a BFP. So hold on to the happy vibes girl, I know there's always going to be a doubt now but stay strong, we're here and we're all cheering for you x
Sunbeam, sorry you are feeling so sad, it is a tough road and you're an incredibly strong woman to keep going and I hope more than anything your BFP is coming and you'll have a baby in your arms next July. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be in the TWW with you, we can go crazy together x
Saffy, did you start injections??? What have I missed??
Luna and MatthewsMum, were you both testing today?
I did a big post earlier so have a good night everyone. I may not get back on until Tuesday but will let you know how I go tomorrow when I can x
Hi guys- I am too lazy to do a big post, I have just read everyone's news though so will get onto it tomorrow
I have started the BCP again cos I got my AF 3 days ago, not sure when the jabbing starts, my clinic is annoying cos you have to wait to get in sync w everyone else, the nurses are ringing me tomorrow I think, so I will know more then!
sorry its short, but hugs to everyone!!
Congrats T Hopes, awesome fabulous news darl.....woohoo.....nothing better than hearing about BFPs from women that have worked so hard to get them, hope your next 8 months fly by stress free for you darl.
Alice- Thank you for asking how I am going, I'm feeling like I am in no mans land atm, I got my +ive OPK on CD12 so naturally I thought I would of O'd by now. I had a temp dip a couple of days later then a rise now it's back down again. I haven't been sleeping all that well but still get my full 3 hours before I wake and take my temp at the same time everyday. Before I got my +ive OPK I had O pain on my right side then I had it again 2 days later but yesterday and today I have had O pains on my left side. I have no idea whats going on with my body I really think I'm not O'ing like I should. Guess I will just have to wait and see what my blood tests results say on Friday when they come back. I still have very slippery clear CM and I have had that since CD12 as well.
Hope everyone has had a great week end, it's my DDs 5th bday today so I have been slat out all day with entertaining 5 kids and feeding them all and making DDs bday cake, that she totally loved. We have all had a really great day but I can't help but get teary when I see my baby girl growing up so fast.
Alice-Have you heard any news yet? your doing a day 5 TF fingers crossed all goes well.
Sunbeam-How are you doing i hope your holding up ok they put a healthy embryo in and like me you have no problem getting pregnant so i really think it will stick and stay for the 9mths this time.
Hello to everyone i have missed.
AFM-I need to keep up my pretend brave face it is going to be even harder to keep it up now we just found out my DH's step niece who is 17 unemployed and smokes lives at home and bludges off the government is pregnant and due 8 days before us the first thing that popped into my mind is what if our bub doesnt make it and i have to endure her pregnancy and birth just like i had to with my mole of a SIL who's baby was due 8 weeks after Abbi was due that was toture hearing all about it and the invites to the baby shower ect i cant do that again why do the undeserving people get pregnant and pop out healthy babies.
This waiting is so hard and the uncertainty of what we are going to see on wednesday is very stressfull i hope it doesnt stress the baby.
On the plus side i have a month off on long service leave yippee!!!
Clairesmummy - I can't really explain why your temp would not stay up after it dipped then rose that seems a bit odd but cd21 bt will say for definite whether you O'ed or not. Good luck.
Ferrals - I have given up trying to understand why undeserving people get pg so easily and so frequently and then get a bunch of kids that they neglect and abuse it just goes to prove there is no order in the universe just chaos. As I said before I am convinced your bub is healthy but I can't imagine the stress you are feeling, or the relief you are going to feel on wedensday when you find out it is all fine. We will be just as excited as hearing about Dory's bub arriving. When does your leave start?
I have a question for you (and Porsche if she's around). Did you feel differnt or later symptoms with your IVF pg than with your natural ones? I am now 5dp5dt and still feeling nothing. I had minor cramping for an hour on and off last night but no porno boobs which has always been my biggest sign. On the IVF success site I looked at almost all the women reported no symptoms so not sure what to expect. BFN this morning.
Sunbeam-i felt no different then a natural pregnancy all my pregnancy symptoms boobs ect started after i got my BFP but i did have a feeling i was just like with my 3 boys.
My leave started today i just want wednesday over with so i can relax until the next scan in two weeks then if that one is good maybe we will be in the clear.
xx
sorry you are feeling so sad, it is a tough road and you're an incredibly strong woman to keep going and I hope more than anything your BFP is coming and you'll have a baby in your arms next July. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be in the TWW with you, we can go crazy together x
