    I agree with shelly about 4 doors - my Yaris now is a 3-door, and I can't imagine having to put baby in the back seat. Save your back and get a 4-door.

    I really hope FE u r coping xxx another day less till u can test and see a bfp!!!

    Thanks Toniq. I am coping but mood swings from madly optimistic to completely pessimistic! Had a lot of pains on Sat, of the sharp stabbing sort in my lower abdomen. Not sure if this is a good sign or not, and really trying not to symptom-spot...but think that implantation is supposed to be 4 to 6 days after EC (with a normal ET as opposed to blastocysts) so that could explain it...

    OTD is 1st July, but I am planning on testing on 30th June...not just because I am impatient (although of course I am!) but because I have a counsellor appt in the afternoon on 30th, and I feel that I need to know before that. Even if it is a +ive, I'm still not gonna believe that it is really real (IYSWIM) until we get to the scan and actually see it.

    Mind you - having had an up&down w/e with the DSK's, I did ask DH last night if we were completely mad to want to be parents together?!?!

    TTC with FI - RIP my 2 MC Angels - 3rd full ICSI starts May/June 2009 - BFP!!! Please let it be 'third time lucky'..... EDD 7th March 2010.

    Aww FE it's a horrid time, there is so much at stake and u have been down such a long and traumatic road to get to where u r now, I truthfully think there is no conclusive pregnancy symptons if u have ivf that cant be related to the drugs, I really have my fingers crossed, a friend on a diff board sent me messages devastated at having ovarian type pains, the ones she gets with her Af, i said the same, u never know with ivf, and holy moly she is preggers with twins due July i think.
    It is easy to say keep positive, but i went to pieces as u ladies all know in the 2ww, really really hope this is ur dream Fe xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Yup am slowly going loopy too FE, know what you mean by swinging wildly between optmism and pesimism! I just dont know how to feel, really bad cramping today and part of yesterday and a pinkish tinge to urine earlier aarrgghh! AF was due Friday and I'm like "3 more days, just 3 more days", and really didnt wanna be at work earlier.

    I'm lying in bed cursing my MIL at the moment. OH's sister can be a nightmare and we have argued of late. I can't be bothered to go into details but basically she expects us treat her a certain way but refuses to treat us the same way until we have children. I usually let DH sort these things out himself but I'm sure you can imagine how hurt and cross I was. MIL is now pushing and pushing for my husband and his sister to make up. She did this whilst on a celebration meal for his promotion tonight and even when he phoned to tell her I need my tube removed. I understand she would rather them get on but we have tried and it just isn't going to happen.
    His MIL refuses to realise that with ttc we have long term stress going on and I can't deal with anything extra. She won't get off our caseand it is driving me up the wall! Argh!
    Sorry folks this is off topic I know but I had to vent. I'm going to be refusing to see MIL if this carries on. I refuse to have more stress than I have to!
    Am not witty enough to put something cool and informative here:o :o

    Huge hugs jiblets, MILs can be great, but they can also be an absolute pain in the b*M... I hope you can sort it all out and take away the stress. It is the last thing you need at the moment.

    I am still in shock from my MILs latest - since my mum died, I have always bought my Stepdad a mothers day card and pressie, so I thought I would buy MIL some flowers yesterday. I gave them to her last night after the meal, and she said No thanks I dont want them - !!!!!!? I thought presents were accepted graciously and thanked - even if you take it home and bin it! Whatever happened to common decency? Anyway, thats my MIL for you!

    Morning all u gorgeous babes,
    My mil hates me with a passion, see her son was a high achiever till he met me, he lived and worked in amsterdam and gave up avery high salary to be happy and leave with me, she also when my last ivf failed said, well its not meant to be, i should have knoocked her out but ignored her barbed comments,
    somnium, much much much luck to u, really hope and Fe get ur bfps so i can tick u off the invisible list xxx

    Don't start me on MIL topic... I know, I should just shut my mouth and keep quiet, but I really don't get on with her. I am sorry for her, she just had skin cancer, but I still can't feel any 'friendliness' towards her. Everytime we go for a visit to her, I need a holiday to get over when we come back. The only good thing is that they live in Italy, and we only visit 1-2 times a year.

    MIL can be real pain in general! Imagine a day or two after the wedding being told that you need to start taking folic acid (good thing she said that in Italian to my OH and I pretended not to understand what she said, or I would have been fuming!!!!! It is my life and I will decide when I have children, not you!)
