Save your first wee tomorrow morning, and get yourself down the supermarket as soon as it opens. Be sure to post the result!

MrsHappy, that's a lot of decisions you have to make.
I think usually the egg retrieval bit is the most expensive, and the transfer is cheaper. Better check though.

Really? I haven't had NK cells tested, but since I had mc at 9 weeks (heart beat confirmed), does that rule out NK?

I don't think you can rule it out but I think if you are getting implantation then that is good sign its not NK cells. NK cells kill whatever is put into the body i.e. embryo as they see it as something foreign and shouldn't be there so they attack it but generally doesn't get to inmplantation stage.

Reading dancing butterfly's post with interest.

For about the last 9 cycles, I've had af type cramp from about 5 dpo. Mentioned to doc and she said IBS related, but it's definitely not. It's exactly the same as af and always from 5 to 6 dpi, which move obviously according to ov day.

I'm going back to doctor this week, kind of expecting to be fobbed off. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing it? I'm sick of spending 10 days in pain, knowing I haven't caught.

Well Ive done a test this morning and unfortunately it was negative

however the bad cramps are still constant and I feel queasy and im having occasional sharp pains in my breasts.

I don't think this is a case of phantom pregnancy, where I want it so bad I start to experience symptoms.

what is happening? I must be pregnant?!! These are the symptoms I experienced when I conceived my son.

I think I may ring my out of hours doctors as the pain is constant and I had pain in my side im worrying about ectopic?

help

Sorry Maire and dancing butterfly, I get that many random pains from AF/IBS/water infections/other conditions that I end up half giving up trying to decipher them, so I really can't help you.:o hope you both get helpful answers soon though


I weighed in this morning and although I was convinced I'd put weight on, it seems I've actually lost 4lbs, which makes a total of 51lbs! I'm no longer "severely obese" and under 35bmi now, so either qualify for clomid or am getting much closer (i can't remember if my clinic wanted under 35 or under 30, but I think they do provide some leeway) and I'm now well over half way to ivf acceptability weight Hurrah!

Why not ring the doctor or NHS direct?
(((Hugs))).

If it was an ectopic, wouldn't you get a +hpt?
