Right....so I am back to post again after my computer issues last night! Thanks Murph01 for the advice on realoading tab.
Home relatively early today after a stressful day of teaching where I felt I had zero tolerance for my students. Days like today make you walk away and think "I am the worst teacher in the world" but also make you determined to go back and give it your all tomorrow.
So in light of my cranky mood, I phoned the clinic en route home and spoke to nurse co-ordinator about the possibility of bringing my BT forward as it was originally scheduled for next Mon. I figured that if I was that cranky with class today then it would only be exacerbated by stress next Monday and that's not good for anyone involved! So she called back and said that I could go in on Saturday which is brilliant. If it is a BFP, it's our little secret for a few days until we are asked by my parents, if it's a BFN, it's some time to regroup before heading back to work on Monday. Nurse mentioned that they will know if it is positive or negative by then anyway but if Hcg is <100, I would be called back in for re-testing a few days later. So cranky mood is regressing and am much happier now (may have something to do with cup of tea & choccie biscuits too!).
I had some other good news on Friday when embryology called to say that 3rd embie that hadn't been given good odds had morphed into a blastie by the afternoon of ET day. So now we have 2 in the freezer and it meant that all 3 that fertilised made it .
wishes - How did your BT go today? I really admire your positivity and am so happy for you that it was the furthest you'v gotten so far. I'm sorry to hear that this cycle hasn't been "the one" but maybe it looks like you'll get some good info that will be really helpful next time? Thinking of you.
Murph01 -Thanks for the encouraging words. I hope your pg is progressing well. I always love to hear from LTTTCers who have got their BFP.
airline - I hope you get an early night tonight! That's an early start for you. I have been experiencing the same but it affects me at night, trying to get to sleep. BT on Wednesday! That's so close now for you. Also, sorry you had to find out about your friend's pg at this nerve-wracking part of the cycle.
Mitf - You poor love . Sorry you had to hear about your gf too at this stage. Does she know you're doing IVF? I hope you're OK. I totally understand your whirlwind emotional state. Really, we're totally "off the air" at the moment but not long now. You are right that wanting to be pg with your gf etc is adding extra pressure you don't need but it's hard not to want those things. I used to stress about the timings of pg in relation to school terms until acupuncturist told me I was putting way too much pressure on myself. Maybe you could slot in another acupuncture session this week? Whatever gets you over the line (at least that's what I told myself when I was buying above-mentioned choccie-biscuits!). Is there a chance you could cheat like me and get your BT a bit earlier? PM me if you want to chat some more. I hope you've had an alright day and that your DH spoils you tonight.
Jasminstar - Thinking of you! Friday is not that far away now?! Hope Darwin is good.
colinsgirl, Sal79,amy_99 and others I have missed - hi there! Hope you're all fantastic.
Apologies for the lengthy post - just trying to get back in the swing of things.
