No i didn't use a digi one i was too scared but i had my bloods done.It just shows a higher HCG in your system but still not that accurate so you will just have to wait for your scan!!

hi ladies,
YeY Mackster decafs on the 7th... pity there is not a nice place for a proper cafe ... am sure the boys will need alcohol after seeing how many are in there!!
The digi is good as it shows 2 - 3 weeks.. remember that they calculate 2 extra weeks for all pregancies periods for non IVF etc There is a due date claculator ladies on this site that is good and also explains what the little joey is up to.. mine is creating a back bone!!!..
I just did another test as still could not believe the result on friday and again it came up instantly.. so am thinking twins... we shall know on 7th.. maybe even three!!
Sunflower good thoughts for wednesday.. Pushoz you must be nearly up to your scan too..

In the 'good old days' the pregnancy test used to be a blood test at HH, if your HCG was 50 or above that was classed as pregnant.
Mine was 501 taken at 14dpo which gave me a pretty strong clue that it might be twins before my 6wk scan, then as suspected the 6 wk scan showed two strong heartbeats.
In most cases if you are not bleeding etc, then I think HH discharge you if a healthy heartbeat is seen.
Good luck ladies

Hey girls
had ec today went well - got 8 eggs which they saud was good?
feeling a bit of pain now so had a warm bath and taken some painkillers trying not to take too many though seeing as hopefully won't be able to take any soon!!
how are you all, i'm sure you will be fine sunflower - just check they get your height right - even a cm can make a difference - well it does if you are as short as me!
what time do they normally ring the next day?
looking forward to that call and hoping all is ok

Well done Kirst! Rest up and take it easy
Em - can't remember if your appt was yesterday or today - good luck / how did you get on? I think one of the other girls said that if you tell them how much weight you've lost already they should take that into account. Especially if you are only 0.8 over.
Hi Mackster - not sure when your second scan would be but I doubt before January. The only days they're closed for scans are Friday Xmas Day and the Monday Boxing Day. Nurse didn't say anything about New Year's Day but I reckon they'll be closed then too. HAve you told your parents yet? Bet it makes the cancelled Oz trip all worth it now
Good morning everyone else! Nice to see some blue sky and sunshine

Hi M - spooky, we were looking at Cornwall for a break too but for Xmas. Are you spending Xmas with DH's family? Your Nanna must have met the right people 'upstairs' already to help with your BFP and I'm sure she'll take good care of you during the pg too xoxo

Afternoon Ladies,
Well we saw Mr Trew he was really lovely, congratulated me on my weight, but said i would need to lose a few more pounds, but he said he wasn't worried about that becuase he knew i'd be able to do it going on my success already...
then he hit us... with a bombshell.... OH's SA wasn't good at all... they couldn't find any sperm in the sample
so OH had has to do another sample this morning and we go back on the 9th December for the results and then go from there...
so now i am really trying to stay positive and upbeat, OH is heartbroken i could see it in his face, and he just kept saying that what will we do if the same results come back this time... i just said we'll cross that bridge if/when we come to it.....
i feel like i've been hit with a thunderbolt.... really wasn't expecting that...
Hope everyone else is ok
xxxxx

Oh Em..that must have been a real shock for you both
I will for the 9th for you.Perhaps the first sample was tainted or he didn't have enough stored up?Try not to let it stress you babes.
On the positive side of things..your weight seems to have passed muster!!Dec 9th will come around before you know it!!If it happens again,then you can look into sperm donation..soo many people do it.
KD..that cake thing sounds just down my alley!!Am stuck in ze office today though.
I called HH this am abt when second scan would be and they said if first scan on 6wks goes well they will release me..if they need to see me again..they will tell me on day.So,will plan mini break anyhow and hope it doesn't clash!!
BTW..Hv been looking up info online..it says that apparently suppositories of progesterone where meant to be kept in the fridge??Mine weren't?? Was anyone told to do this?
Also...am I allowed to go swimming yet?I looked online and it looked like they were encouraging it??
Anyhoo..will stop taking up all your time now and get back to work..
Em..think positive..baby steps-you are getting there xxx
ps.Kirst..how many fertilised??Will that be a day 2 or day 3 transfer??How exciting xxx
I will

SunFlowerEm - Sorry to hear the news about the SA try not to worry about it as it's not the end of the world. When I met DH he had already been diagnosed as having aszospremia (no sperm in the ejaculate). He had SSR at Hammersmith and to use Mr Lavary's words they got absolutely loads. Now I've got my BFP so they must have been ok!!!
Mackster - I didn't think you had another scan at HH after your 6 week scan, will let you know after next Wednesday if it's any different.
Mackster and Roo - How are you both feeling. I have to admit I'm feeling really ropey and ended up in bed at 9.30 last night. Just hoping that htis is a good sign.
Kirst - Good luck tomorrow with transfer I think that two days after transfer is fairly normal at HH.
To everyone I've missed I hope that you are all ok.

Thanks Mackster....
The first sample was done at home (as we didn't know you could do it there) so it took us an hour and 20 mins to get it there with the rush hour traffic, i am just its because of that...
