Stop calling dads incompetent
Advertising that depicts men as being clueless insults those who are involved and active fathers. It also creates a escape route for those who want to shirk childcare and domestic responsibilities.

GOLD!
So it was my first night in the TWW last night and I just couldn't sleep - must be a combination of excitement/nerves. Am trying my best not to take notice of all those small twinges/pains you get after transfer - I know it's waaay too early for them to mean anything! Good luck to everyone coming into the April TWW! Harmony x |

Hi Girls,
Harmony - hope you're surviving the TWW without going too crazy (yet). Eloise & Heath - good luck for your transfers I'm scheduled for my ET on Wed, so will be joining you all then. We're trying assisted hatching for the first time, so I'm really hoping that makes the difference for us. Just a little stressed about the possibility of damage to the embryo, though the embryologist assured me that it's not very likely. We still have 3 blasts in the freezer so I'm hoping desperately that the first is the one that's transferred and the remaining two stay in the freezer for bub no. 2. Thinking positive here.... |

Thanks Ellie, and good luck for Friday! Are you doing a day 3 or day 5 transfer?
Look forward to you coming to join us in the 2WW Heath2b! Let us know how your US and BT go today. I've heard assisted hatching can produce great results Mrs Kelly. Am keeping everything crossed for you that your first little frostie comes out perfect and that the assisted hatching helps you get your BFP soon! As for me...well, I'm still just waiting! Am back at work today though so at least the time is moving a lot faster. I had a small amount of brown spotting this morning which I'd say is probably just left over from the EPU last week but of course I'm secretly hoping it's implantation spotting! hehe. Harmony x |

Happy Monday ladies
 I'm a few days into my TWW. Had insem last Thurs on CD12 which was a couple of days earlier than normal, last couple have been on CD14. So acupuncture this morning was most relaxing and she said my pulses were feeling really good. BT for me is next Thurs 12th. I moved house on the weekend (no heavy lifting though!) so am completely knackered. Feel like I could sleep for a day but am perservering here at work! Good luck to all. angieB xx |

Easter eggs! I love it Heath2b
 So excited for you for tomorrow - keeping everything crossed that you get your lovely mature eggs! I am trying to keep myself busy to take my mind off all the niggling cramps that I keep feeling. I know it's totally normal, but can't help but think AF is on its way. *sigh* The 2ww is sooo hard sometime!! Hope you have a nice relaxing week AngieB - moving house is so exhausting, but what a great way to pass the time in the 2ww by decorating a new house! Good luck for your ET tomorrow Mrs Kelly!
