Hi Briss will you get results of bloods over the weekend?
Who are you flying to Egypt with? Lots of women fly when they don't know if they are pregnant.
Sorry to hear your still poorly. I guess you have not been able to take anything. I have been wiped out this week withh AF and tonsillitis but get a script for penicillin. Starting to feel better.
Fly out tomorrow for a bit of sun. Can't wait. Hoping snow forecast for Sunday wont cause problems with my flight.
Not done anything for chinese new year. Acu place is closed though. So have to wait 2 weeks for next season. Xx

Hi all!
Briss--I am totally stalking your chart, hoping this cycle is it for you. Test results would be very early, so even a bfn wouldn't count you out yet. Any unusual symptoms?
Nobump--have a wonderful time on your vacation. Yay for warm sun! We are a ways from that here in cold Minnesota, but I did get down to Florida for a few days and it was lovely.
Blythe, jazz bird, and everyone else, hope you are all doing well!
AFM--getting close to ov but DH and I are in a bit of a rough patch so may take this month off.

Vonn it is not easy to try everymmonth life often gets in the way.
Briss reread your post so if no results today you need to wait to Monday. How many days past transfer are you?
Not neen feeling great today. Was finishing packing.managed to loose sun lotion. Went out to shops for some more. DH drove. Felt pain.... went to bathroom and had bleed through. Had light pad on as only been light flow past 2 days... thankfully had spare underwear in my hangbag and tampons and towels.... day 9 hopefully this will be over soon. Want to tryand catch O on holiday.
Will check in when I can while away. Hopefully pick up free wifi somewhere.

Ladies, thank you very much for your support. It's been very anxious few days but I am being cautiously optimistic. AF is due today but Clearblue said "Pregnant 2-3" this morning! FRER is giving me a faint line which is unfortunately not close to control line (after the chemical I had on my first IVF I am really scared of faint lines). I've been waiting for a response from Munich on my blood tests but they are being slow which makes me super nervous cos I really want to hear from them whether we have a chance here. Also, I run out of progesterone and am slightly panicking. I cant buy German progesterone here but I have Czech one and cyclogest, not sure which one is better. would really like to hear from Munich.
I am off to the airport soon to fly to Egypt, cant believe this! I spent years carefully avoiding all travel in TWW and cancelling important trips and now when I finally have a real chance I am travelling and not anywhere close in Europe but to Africa. I am taking some nuts/dried fruit and herbal teas with me just in case. I hope it's safe to eat at the hotel but I am quite nervous as I had food poisoning in Egypt before even though we were very careful. I read that it seems safe for the baby to travel by air but the first trimester is a risky one so not the best time to travel.
I am also still coughing a lot and my chest hurts when I try to take a deep breathe which is not ideal. I am trying to ignore this problem because I cant do an x-ray. I just hope it will resolve on its own.
I know I should be happy and I am but after almost 5 years TTC unfortunately what I feel is fear… Also I have no symptoms. breasts are sore but that's progesterone and I get it every other cycle anyway. There was one thing that made me hope though, from about 7-8 DPO I started having a barely noticeable AF cramp type of feeling. At first I thought I was just imagining it but after a few days they became a constant feature, from time to time during the day I feel very minor cramps, not strong enough to put them on my chart but enough for me to be aware of where my uterus is.
The downside of having IVF abroad is that you are basically on your own, I feel quite lost and have no idea what my next step is supposed to be. I need to book a scan somewhere right? Do I go to GP now or is too early? anyway, I am away this week so I can only do it next week. also, bizarrely FF says I am 4 weeks pregnant now?? I have not even missed my period yet officially
I have also been dieting after ET but I did not do any fasting days just observed my 1,000-1,200 calorie limit and I am happy to report I have lost all of my IVf weight – 4 kg! It took two months! I still have 5 kg to lose to reach my normal weight but it's all forgotten now. I read that you should eat normally in the first trimester and only add 300 calories in the second and 500 calories in the third (It does not stop me from eating for 5 people though). I am also glad I leaned the calories stuff cos eating in pregnancy is all about getting most nutrients for less calories.
It's still super early so at the moment I am just hoping and hoping and hoping

Wow wow wow, amasing so happy for this news it is brilliant. Yes it must be difficult when you are being treated abroad, the key is to get progersterone, do you have any left over? Or could you visit GP often they can prescribe for you. That cramping feeling is a sign for sure as you say, slightly different and more constant that AF
Typical as you say you now have to travel, make sure you drink lots of water and try and eat well before and after the flight. Hopefully you will be fine when you get there as most of the hotels are pretty good, try and not eat outside of the hotel.
Take care xxx

Awesome news Briss! I was worried when we didn't hear from you, but that jump in your chart confirms it in my book. Hooray!! I am so, so, so happy for you. Finally!! Enjoy your trip.
Hi Briss - I've been silently following your story for a while - Congrats on your bfp!!! So happy for you! 
You've been through so much. Really hope this is it for you! Just wanted to say that the cramps are definitely a good sign - probably implantation-related ( I had crampiness from 7 dpo up to 5 weeks too- sometimes they felt exactly like AF cramps, which was scary). It can be a good sign that the baby is snuggling in tight. Also, when you're due AF you're definitely already considered 4 weeks preggo. It's strange, but that's how they do it. So when you're 5 weeks, you would've technically been pregnant for 1 week.
Flying should be ok. As long as you stay clear of unsafe foods/drinks while in Egypt you should be fine. It would be good to get a doctor's visit to confirm pregnancy, but most don't like to see you till about or close to 6 weeks as that's when you can pick up an image on the ultrasound and also perhaps hear a heartbeat.
Hope that all goes well!

Briss!! I am so, so thrilled for you. A huge congratulations! I look forward to hearing/seeing the tests get darker as the days go on. 
It's hard to believe it took on this cycle when you were already dealing with so much, but life is just crazy like that. These Munich folks do not seem to feel the same sense of urgency that you do, I'm sure that's really frustrating.
Have a safe trip. Update when you can, you have lots of support and so many people rooting for you! Can't wait to see your chart show some "+" and your signature change once you are confident about it! Woohoo!!
