    Not tested again yet tea, trying to have dh be the first that's told, and as I know a couple of you internet randoms (;)) IRL, even you ladies count :p and of course I couldn't have news and not share, so I've just not tested yet :o

    Ttc40 I struggle to see anything on the real life stick, with line eye in force, so I don't blame you one bit! :p How's things?

    I'm ok. Dealing with a family bereavement so it keeps your mind off things in the 2ww - not that I recommend it for everyone's 2ww!

    I'm not emotionally attached to the deceased - you can't chose your family and all that! Just need to support my OH.

    No SSing for me. Nothing feels any different to other months - can't believe I just touched my boobs before typing that to check if they were tender! They are not (in case anyone was interested)!

    Dh is on his way home so I tested. Time to admit these are bfn's :( if there was something on yesterday's (i still see something v v faint IRL) it should've doubled by today, and it hasn't.

    Either ov's wrong, or AF's doing a sneak attack, I guess :(

    Yep, that'll distract you ttc40! Hope your dh is ok :)

    TTC40 - my breasts were not tender in my 2ww wait so don't try and sympton spot (easier said than done), I felt no different even when I got a BFP.

    Mrs H - don't test to early as the drugs in your system can give you a false positive at least wait 10 days after post transfer.

    Lots of luck and hugs to everyone who needs it.

    teamlowe - this one is great too. It's like she's been inside my head, and then written down everything I think but in a really funny way.

    Thanks, I had read about the drugs still being in my system, after I had done another cheeky wee IC :o (only to shut mrh up as he is going on an on about testing) and there was a definite line-even mrh could see it and he didn't know what he was looking for. I will step away from the tests and stop being a crazy POASer. (I will go and SS in other totally random ways instead :o )

    Hope everyone is good :)

    I have read about women testing from the hcg trigger shot so they know when it goes negative then keep on testing til/hoping it goes positive. Sounds too stressful to me! :p

    ^^^^^ that's what I did. I just wanted to see two lines even for a little while *shrug*
    Good luck all you ladies waiting to test. Got everything crossed for you!

    Hi all,

    I contemplated doing a test after the HCG shot. I know how silly it is, but I did just want to see a "Pregnant" sign once. But I resisted... and AF dutifully showed up on schedule.

    I'm getting EWCM at the moment. In all of this stuff, I sort of forgot I could still have a normal cycle. Since I was diagnosed in December, I've been on the pill, followed by an IVF cycle, and then AF last week in the hospital. What with menopause drugs, and general stress, I'd forgotten I am also having a normal cycle for the first time in ages.

    It would be just like me to get pregnant now! I'm not going to bother with protection or abstinence, the chances are virtually nil as we have proven over and over. But... somehow it's strange to realise normal things are still going on.

    fingers crossed BZ. You know you are not out, and we all know the hope going on now is sooo hard! I find I keep checking here during the day to see if there is any news.
