    As for me - well 'stabbing' started last nite! - DH must be out of practise as the first one stung and bled a little...but after a few days I know we'll be back in the routine and used to it again.


    <hugs> I'm sure I read you can numb the area with ice beforehand?

    Yes you can, and I recall it works OK - but it was a bit of a pantomime last nite: DH forgot to get any ice out of the freezer and had already set the house alarm..... I was poised on the bed holding out the needle in one hand (having measured out the dose), with a lump of lower tummy pinched in the other hand (pre-wiped with sterilising solution), looking in the other direction so I couldn't see the needle...and the cat had hidden from DH & sneaked upstairs (in a mood with us as we'd left her for the weekend!) so she was on the bed too and trying to get my attention, and I was trying to keep her away from the needle and my sterilised bits, and yelling for DH to hurry up......

    I agree! I have to leave work soon and can't always access from home - how can I wait until tomorrow morning to find out - can't exactly go borrow my neighbour's internet (which is what I usually do), how would I explain why I needed it?!?

    Lilo - you must be tearing out your hair! (can you imagine what I am like when it's me?!?

    ...and I can't get the Queen song out of my head now......my colleague thinks that I am going slightly mad (he's probably right!!!)

    Well, they finally rang me at 4.30 - and - a BFN - no surprise really as I really didnt have the symptoms that I knew I should have.

    I am gutted, but also surprisingly accepting - I think that over the week I felt the symptoms gradually ebbing away and kind of came to terms with it but I still hoped against hope that I was wrong.

    Anyway, onwards and upwards and keep BDing!!!!

    Good luck to you all, may you be luckier than I!!!!!!!!!!

    Onwards and upwards should include you too!. Have a stiff drink, cry if you need to, and make new plans in a month or two.
