    Hey ladies,

    Just a quick one form me this morning.

    JMB - All the best for today. Hope it goes smoothly.

    Minnie - I think I'm feeling nada too. I think I'm expecting too much.

    Mel - How was your weekend?

    Bei, Oscar, Futuremum, Lissie - Hope you guys had a great weekend.

    So - I think we're all around the same time for BT's anmd results aren't we? Toward the end of this week and over the weekend?

    I think I'm going to go for the Sunday BT. Worst case they have to re-do it onthe Monday.

    I don't want to sound negative here, but can anyone tell me how I work out when AF should be due? Basically I had two visits quite close together at the start of my ICSI cycle - 1 that started on the 9th of July (which was my lastdrug/hormone free one) then again on the 28th of July (after I started Lurcrin & stopped the pill). I'm a bit confused now. My natural cycle used to be between 30 & 33 days. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have a happy day

    Morning everyone, I got up today and still feeling grump, mood swing over the weekend, so didn't want to drop in to be so negative.

    Nic, sorry I am not good at caculating days either especially in a stim cycle, always throw me a bit. Maybe the simpliest way is to count from your EPU day as O day, and then usually 14 days post O day? Some people get positive test even 10dpo.

    Like you and Minnie mouse, I don't feel much happening either, just a twige here and there but that maybe due to pessaries...but the whole thing is doing my head in, too much expectation, too much day-counting, I am a bit sick of this game, not feeling positive at all...

    sorry for a self-obsorded venting post.

    Don't worry Bei - I'm feeling super cranky too. Bad sign for me - usually a 5 - 7 days before AF arrives. I'm not going to stress over it though - there is nothing I can do but hope and pray that the hatchling has managed to get a good tight grip in there.

    In terms of cramps etc - I haven't been quite right since EPU. 14 days post pick up would be the 30th. It's getting better, but still a bit crampy and tender in the lower body area -back and front.

    I was so nasty to DH all weekend. I feel terrible. I was a total caffeine fiend prior to transfer and thought it best to pack it in - I think that might be my problem - God, I miss it.

    I'm tired all the time and my brain seems like it is running in neutral. I wouldn't mind if I knew it was a result of a BFP, but alas I will have to wait til Sunday. Maybe I'll POAS Friday or Saturday? or do you guys thik I'll be setting myself up for a fall?

    Well, if I can hold off until Thursday POS, I would be proud of myself ...I have jam packed my schedule for this week, lunch/dinner etc to keep my mind off thing but its not working...

    I don't know where all the expectation are coming from (I usually consider myself are pretty cool of handling this but maybe I kind of did whatever I can this cycle, herbs, AP, my girl friends even gave me a parsley plant (yeah, call me crazy) over the weekend (good old wives' tale)....I think I have already set myself up for a failure in some way. Well, if this one doesn't work out, I have decided to go for ICSI rather than IVF next cycle...

    Anyway, thanks for listening and I feel better of letting it out...

    Hi Everyone

    Well i am just plodding along going with the flow have had some pains but i think they are mainly from the EPU also had to put up with a welt on my stomach the size of an egg from the Pregnyl shot but apparently that is a good sign that my body is reacting to it the way it should.
    Well unfortunately for me i have to head back to work tomorrow after being off for a week and a half (i have a really understanding boss) and was allowed to take all the time off on sick leave.

    Hope everything is going well for everybody

    Take Care

    Mel
