    Good morning, hope everyone is well. I've also got a friend coming for lunch so at least that'll take my mind off all this waiting, even if just for a little while. I found getting my sewing machine out last night and making a few Christmas bits helped!

    Was laid in bed at 2am thinking (this is probably a ridiculous question), I had my eggs collected 11am Wednesday and transferred 4pm Friday. Is that classed as a 3day transfer? Because in my eyes, that's only 2days!

    It was a 5cell, and I keep reading about grade 1, 2 and 3 embryos. So what would mine be classed as, any idea?

    I hope everyone is ok and not too stressed in the run upto Christmas xx

    11am wed - 10.59am thurs day 1, 11am thurs - 10.59am fri day 2, and 11am- 4pm friday day 3. So its a transfer within day 3, just at the lower end of day 3's 24 hours.

    Hi everyone

    cd17 here. Think the supplements are working, lots of (tmi alert!) CM this month, and I ovulated late -I think yesterday or even today. I've had lots of low left sided pain today.. I don't usually get ovulation pain, does it usually last a while? Either that or my appendix is grumbling.. ;)

    My appointment at Cardiff has finally come through. It's on the 4th Jan. How are you girls on the 2ww doing?

    Hugs

    Hope everyone is well. I've been really good this first week but now the symptom spotting has kind of started! Trying not to as I dont want to get my hopes up and keep reminding myself that it could be either AF or That Which Will Not Be Mentioned For Fear Of Jinxing Myself :rotfl:

    Had a few dizzy spells and can only sleep on my back as my stomach hurts otherwise. I suppose Im not being too bad really, I just keep trying to keep my mind off things. Hope everyone else in the 2ww is ok. Halfway there :T

    Oh, and your appointment will be here before you know it Onestep!

    Back from my first doctors appointment, she was really nice. I have to have a blood test between cd2 and cd5 and then another on cd22 and DH also has to contact his doctors to arrange semen analysis. At least it feels like something is happening.
  • Having a bad day today, got bad AF pains. Feel so low. OTD isn't until 25th but don't think I'll have to wait until then

    C4B you just don't know the AF pains can be something completely different. Keep your beak up, I know its hard and I have everything crossed for your and Runner (and anybody else in the 2ww).

    I think AF might be around the corner for me - I've had serious PMT today! I've had steam coming out of my ears a various stages throughout the day! Finally put up my Christmas decorations this evening so feeling a bit happier now but it's not looking good for the only Christmas present I really want :(
