    Saffy great news I have no idea about the prog either but you have time to pick that up right ? FX all goes well for you and you get to keep this bub !

    Sunbeam fantastic news on your eggs you always manage to get a lot hey lucky you lets pray you can get your BFP real soon and a healthy 9 mnths ahead !

    Ladies I need some advice not sure what to do, I am day 39 I think or well 10 days since I had some brown spotting and well not done a poas since sunday and it was a BFN, well still no nothing no cramping no headaches no grumpy moods either which is so unlike me lol ! anyhow my bra just felt tight today and I have been having twinges in my bbs but you know how it is about going out to buy more tests ! I ran out now you see and begrudge spending on them if all I get is a BFN ! so what would you do if you were me am I day 39 or day 10 ???? the brown discharge really was not much at all only when I wiped ( a bit like when I first started to misscarry ) so do I just sit tight or go to the DRS and get laughed at as I am 45.5 yrs old and sometimes ladies my age miss a period right !

    Saffy: I have everything crossed for you. BHCG sounds good for such an early pg. Am i right? I'm sending you sticky sticky vibes. THanks for the well wishes hun. I think part of my 'grumpy cow' thing is the disappointment but there's a good deal of grumpy cow hormones involved too i'm thinking! Wish they were pg hormones not PMS!
    T-hopes: Miss seeing your posts in this thread. Nice to see you pop in. Hope things have settled down (i've been checking in on you in the other thread a bit). HOpe it's all good now.
    Crafty: Yeah, IKWYM about feeling bummed about spending money on POAS which give you the wrong answer! You might be right and you might be day 10: if you were day 36 on Sunday when you did the last POAS then a pg would probably show up on a POAS by then i'm thinking. But i reckon do whatever it takes to help you feel you know what's going on. What about some internet 'cheapy' POAS? (I've never bought them but i know others have). It might be a good compromise on feeling ok about spending money on a few more POAS tests?
    India's mum: Where in the cycle are you? TWW?
    Hi Sunbeam: I'm glad EPU worked out for you on a more convenient day. I'm sure the procedure is enough drama without having stress relating to clearing your schedule. Also great that you'll have two family members to pamper you a bit.
    Toomanyshoes: hope the headaches are easing off.
    Hi Porsche: Great to see you drop in. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope things are good for you at the mo.
    Alice: THanks for the feedback about varying cycle length. Hope you get some answers on yours.
    LUna: HOw are things with you? Yeah, i was totally convinced i was pg. Still very puzzled about my 9 days or so of vivid dreams. I must have a lot on my mind!

    AFM: I can't give up a teensy hope that the POAS was wrong and i'd just had too many fluids for the BFP to show up last night. (I need AF to come so that i can face reality and move on!)

    Saffy - I do not know why they told you your progesterone is low, I think anything over 20 is fine, and yours was 36. I only had it checked in my last pregancy, and it was low, but it was 14. Your number looks great to me. Are you having a repeat BT soon? I'm keeping my fingers crossed, spotting is pretty common, but makes you freak out nonetheless.

    Possum - maybe you really DID have too much liquid, I am still hoping....

    Crafty - can you just get a blood test? The uncertainty must be killing you. Who cares what they think, and believe me, they have probably seen everything anyway. You cannot be the only 45 year old that is trying to get pregnant. Hey, I am almost there myself.

    Hi to everybody else, I am still following you all.

    I am just waiting for my ectopic to resolve. In 2 weeks it dropped from >2000 to 470, today I got another test and I am really hoping it is below 5. I thought I am handling this loss pretty well, but yesterday at work my coworker told me that this guy we work with had a stillborn baby. And then he said "you are a mother now, blah blah blah..." I am writing "blah blah blah" because I honestly did not hear what else he said, but I know he was talking. It just literally took my breath away and I was shaking. I had to work very hard not to cry. I never expected such a strong reaction and I am not a public crier, so it totally took me by surprise. Now I am thinking, I have not let myself have a good cry over this loss yet, and there are probably bottled up feelings and they just tried to come out, so I think I need to cry until I get a headache. So this is my plan for tonight :-(
