    WW, sorry but you don't. 2ww is the worst part and I would gladly have EC everyday instead of the 2ww. Just don't do anything you could possibly look back on and regret, saying that there is very little you can do to change things.
    Deep breaths and try to take it one step at a time, day by day x

    WW, I think you have to accept that the next two weeks will last an ice-age and drive you mad. Not much help I know but sometimes you just have to embrace the crazy. Everything crossed for you sweetie xx.

    Hospital just called. ET is booked for 2.15pm monday. All 4 embies behaving as they should :)

    Hmmm. Makes me worry all the more that there is something wrong with our embryos as out of 9 we only had 2 behave normally as seen on the embryscope. Something to ask about when we go for our follow up. Not that I want something to be wrong with yours of course!!

  • That's brilliant tea, def worth having the scope if you have four all coming along nicely!

    Lisa I thought the same about our embryos as despite a good number of fertilised eggs only ended up with 1 decent blast last time and still waiting to see if any this time. Has it been that way for you with each cycle? We asked about it at review meeting and felt they fobbed us off really.

    Just want to get back to normal, whatever that is, but can't get my mind off it all - not that surprising considering this has been our entire focus for the past 2 months. To make matters worse DH is away til tomorrow so more time alone to stew. Jeeeez.

    Yep, it's going to be a very long 2weeks :(
