Thanks everyone!

Esperanza, I have some poor quality photos for you.

The line on the first test was much bluer until I dropped it on the floor!
The second test said it expired in early 2013... (shows how long I've been TTC)

Anyway they both have lines

Yay yay yay! I don't know much about hcg numbers but from what I remember that's a pretty good number isn't it?? Huge congratulations hun!!!

xx

I have found a cool site which shows some averages:

http://www.betabase.info/chart/basic/single

The test was done on a Thursday which, as egg collection was also Thursday, would have been 14 dpo (my maths was wrong before!)

The average number on this website (for single pregnancies) for 14dpo is 126 and I had 132, so that sounds about right to me

Lovely lines! I remember a friend of mine had her bloods done at the same time and I think her number was 63 or something. Which was also within the normal limit apparently. So that's why I thought that you had a really great number.

Wishing you all the best tinsel! Keep us posted on how you are feeling and how it's going! pm if you ever want to chat!! I found the first weeks of pregnancy to be quite stressful (almost more stressful than the needles and preparations for baby).

Thanks Esperanza! I am on holiday with no internet next week so maybe something to take my mind off things.

The OHSS is giving me quite a bit of grief, if I bend slightly over I feel like I am being crushed from the inside, and my swollen stomach (5 inches bigger than it should be) is causing me to walk around like a humpback.

Still counting my blessings though, I will take any amount of pain to see this though!
