But what does pg even feel like?? I have everything crossed for you sweetie xx.

Exactly. In my case absolutely nothing except a missed AF. I had no symptoms until week 5. So feeling nothing can be a good thing too

Thanks guys. I've had some twinges and cramps which has given me lots to over-analyse, lol! Very sore boobs, but that'll be the crinone. The one that's got me worried most though is that I've had a sore throat for the last couple of days, and at one point I managed to convince myself I have immune issues and that my immune system is fighting the embryo.

Yup. That does actually sound a bit mental now I've typed it out loud!!

Lucy got everything crossed for you.

Tea holiday sounds fab, weve still not had a honeymoon!!

AFM still not feeling any better and last tamoxafin today, im on anti depressants aswell and have suffered from depression for ovewr half my life now, the clomid/tamox makes it much worse

Becca I will be moving onto either injectiables/OD if this doesn't work this cycle.

I'm so sorry Tea, this must be incredibly tough for you. I know nothing I can say will help but sending you big, big hugs xx

rather large hugs for a reminder tea

Lucy i have all my fingers and toesies crossed for Monday! x

Thanks ladies. I don't feel hissy-fit awful about it (which I guess is an improvement) just a bit 'meh' that there's always a reminder.

Wish I didn't have such a good memory for dates now... although I guess I was never going to forget being due on Christmas day.

I officially start my proper new job on monday and I'm bricking it. I have no idea what I'm doing, despite temping here since Jan. Aaargh!!

Any news, t2d? You've not posted for a while. Hope you're OK.

I'm ok. Friday results of the scan were clear, which was good, but now I've no idea why I have a never ending cycle. Actually you reminded me and I just called the GP, they said tests were 'normal - no action'. ie - tests for FSH, LH, and HCG. Odd result for HCG 'Normal'. Normal for what!? But clearly not pregnant, I'm sure even the quiet ultrasound tech would have mentioned that on Friday!

Anyway, am a bit down at the moment and I'm trying to step away from so much TTC focus, so a little less forum time just for the moment. As much as that is possible - I'm still reading a bit as you can see.

Hope everyone is well, and fingers crossed for Lucyloo.

I'll update if this silly cycle ever ends.

Fantastic to know that everything's OK (on the health side at least). A break from these forums is a good idea, let alone a break from TTC. When I was struggling to conceive I didn't even dare post on here - I'm obsessive enough about MSE without introducing the added issue of fertility problems. Take care and always remember those embryos in the deep freeze. All will be well.

Is it normal for the first af after ivf/mc to be different? Am not calling cd1 yet but am spotting more consistently & am 11dpo so it's clearly on the way.

Problem is, I have weird pain! Not like usual period pain, or usual endo pain. More like where the f did that poker sharp, take your breath away pain come from??

I take it that's just things getting back to normal rather than something to panic aboutk
