the other mother 2be new to it all... (except the big gay thing)
ok so i don't know the lingo but my gorgeous girlfriend and I are 4 days post embryo transfer (her not me) and 8 days away from the pregnancy test.
she is handling the 2 week wait a little better than me and although she is not displaying any overt symptoms she feels that it has taken (she is a trusting soul) whereas i (who requires hard evidence) am continually prodding her to check for breast tenderness, bloating etc and am almost begging her to feel sick and tired.
this is our first round of ivf using a known donor (1 embryo transferred) and between the two of them they have produced a nice little batch of healthy high grade frozen embryos (which is just as well as my own prospects are not as positive) however, there are no guarantees so we are all on a bit of a wait-and-see.
we have told no one that we are going through the ivf process and have been together so loooong that i doubt anyone would be expecting us to start procreating so i would love to hear from others going through the same thing.
i'll keep you posted on the outcome
fingers crossed

Thanks for the welcome bee... but wait there's more...
Hi B,
Congratulations... how exciting! Well if you are 15 weeks then we are 10 weeks behind you... your finger crossing must have worked.
We have just found out (test came back POSITIVE on friday YAY!!!) that we are due mid March 2010!!!
It is a bit of a shock once you realise that it is 'real' even though 'the magic pendulum' told us that Elsie was pregnant EVERY time we checked (and we checked a lot!) 'The magic Pendulum ALSO tells us EVERY time we check that we are having a boy (let the battle of the names begin)
All the best
xx
