hun i have my fingers crossed for you for friday xxxxxxxxxx5/8/08 19:59

Hi Girls,
You are all so lovely sending me baby glue! I would be lost without you so thank you!
I am definitely holding out until Friday, I am not going to give in!! We went to the hospital today regarding our NHS funded IVF cycle. We were totally honest and explained we had just finished an IVF cycle and that we cannot start our treatment with them until we know the result. The lovely nurse explained we need to have a 3 month wait in between cycles and so he has booked us in for November just in case our self funded cycle doesn't work out. Bless him he was so cute and kept saying hopefully we won't need it! I hope he is right!
Jo - I work from home as a financial adviser and so I am always at work if you know what I mean. Also 4 mornings a week I do the accounts for my husbands building company so although it sounds lovely that I work from home I am always rushing about and most of my appointments are in the evening when people have finished work. I love it though and have already worked out in my head how I would run things if I ever got my long awaited BFP!!
Sorry I have waffled on in this post. Speak soon and thanks again for all your good luck wishes and baby glue.

Hi Gem
As hard as it is, i think you are doing the right thing by waiting until Friday. These last few days are really tough, but you are not alone and we are all rooting for your BFP!

Hi Gem
Nothing you do now is going to affect your result so don't worry yourself about being worried (coming from one of the biggest worriers ever!!)
It is no wonder you are dreaming about it as it is all you have probably thought about for the past 4 weeks.These last few days are so tough but hang in there and I have everything crossed that it is good news for you on Friday.
Are you off work at the moment? Take care and sending you lots of +++++++ vibes and
.Love Jo x

Hi Girls,
4 more sleeps to go!! I am getting quite anxious now and I am worried that its not doing me or my little embies any good but I can't help it. I didn't sleep very well last night and when I did manage to drift off I had the most bizarre dream about positive pregnancy tests and a dentist chair!! weird!!
I hope you are holding up better than me MrsC!! sending you some sticky glue

Hi Girls,
Thank you so much for the baby glue girls.....I will take as much as I can get!!
I hope you had a good weekend. I had a nice relaxing few days, a friend cooked me and dh a roast yesterday so it was nice to have a day off from cooking and be waited on! I also saw my other freinds Nicki and Ben with their 5 week old twin girls. They are beautiful and are a result of IVF which just fills me with hope.
I am still feeling very positive and after speaking with my friend Nicki yesterday I am definately not going to test until Friday. She convinced me to wait and said if its a positive result I will be nervous about getting the same result on Friday and if its negative I won't believe it until I test again on Friday so I may aswell just wait!
MrsC - I don't have any side effects or symptoms yet either. I had a little cramping but that has gone now. I think that was just my ovaries healing after being poked and prodded! Well I am hoping anyway!
Take care everybody and roll on Friday!! x x

Hi Gem
You are on the downward slope now to test day. Bad news on finding a test. It makes resisting so much harder.
I had the same problem with the pessaries. The problem I had is after I stopped using them I could not go for days! I had to use 2 2 times a day last time so had no choice where to put them. Hopefully things are better now. It is just so messy using the 'front door'. They are truly hideous things aren't they.
Enjoy your weekend

Hi Girls,
Well I am officially half way through the 2WW and I have to be honest it has flown by! I am feeling very positive today and only beginning to feel slightly nervous about testing next week.
I have made a slight faux par and have found a First Response pregnancy test and already I cannot stop thinking about testing!!!!!! I am not sure if it would work anyway as no idea if I still have any hormones that would give me a false response! So got to try and forget about it!! Argh!?!?!
I have been having a slight problem with number 2's! (Sorry TMI) so now I do the pessary in the front rather than the back as I couldn't get off the loo!!!
Has anyone else had that problem? Please tell me I am not alone!! ha ha!Must dash. Take care all those ladies on the 2WW and hugs to those who have not had such good news today.
