Hi ladies, Sorry for disappearing. Things got a little crazy. So I did the hpt on the Monday and it was definitely positive. Did it again the next morning and negative. My beta was officially 10. So yet another chemical. We went away on a ski trip and had no internet and hence my lack of communicati...

Hi ladies, Very confused now. Yesterday's test was a definite positive within the proper time frame. This morning a definite negative when I POAS'd. In my way for my beta. I'm sure it'll be low if at all. Grrrrr. But I must say it was very exciting to see a positive yesterday. I've never had one bef...

HI ladies,

Just POAS'd again. And it's POSITIVE!!! Definitely!!! I'm so shocked! My official Beta is tomorrow. I'll let you know what the number is.

Hi ladies, Ok...so I usually don't POAS until beta day, but I broke down and POAS'd yesterday and today. Yesterday would have been 11dp3dt and today 12dp3dt. When I first did them both they were both negative...however, yesterday I did it really early morning, so I went back to bed. Woke up 2 hours ...

Hi ladies, LYD - CONGRATULATIONS!!! So excited for you! I'm in my 2 ww and I'm trying not to obsess this time. Just needed some reassurance. I'm having a lot of cramping. This is normal right? I know it is, being a midwifery student and all, just wanted to hear it from some of you who have BFP's if ...

Hey ladies!

I'm officially PUPO!! Two embryos transferred today!! Although they had to thaw 5 to get 2 good ones??? Not sure why they didn't thaw too well. So we have 4 frozen one left. Beta on Jan 3.

Hi Ladies, Sorry I've been MIA...I've had exams and family holiday obligations. I haven't been on the boards again in a long time. So catching up I will be doing soon. Just wanted to let everyone know that my lining check on Friday was good. Started PIO today and transfer is on Wed. Dec. 21. Yule. W...

Hey Maria, So sorry for what you are going through. I'm up to my elbows doing end of term papers and studying for exams so no time for personals. Status - on BCP for FET - Donor embryos, transfer mid December. Someone asked why I don't want twins, I have PCOS which puts me at much higher risk for ge...

Thank you all for your responses. I very much appreciate them. Knowing what surprised you or what you would've liked to have been prepared for helps us in creating this workshop series. What were some of the emotion issues that came up that maybe you weren't expecting? Obviously fear over losing the...

Oh Maria!! I just went back to figure out what happened. I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this. Take all of the time you need. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Kim - OH honey we've all been there. I hate the BFN's and I know how that phone call feels. Even though you're pret...

Hello lovely ladies, I hope you don't mind me crashing here, but I'm doing a project for school and I would love your opinions. If you're not interested, please feel free to pass on by. I am currently a student midwife and I have been on the fertility roller coaster for over 15 years now. It's one o...

Hello my long lost friends, So after taking a break because of our crazy donor egg cycle (to recap, $12,000 gifted to us by a friend, and only 1 frickin embryo with a BFN) we have had 9 beautiful grade 1 and 2 embryos donated to us through our clinic. The donors conceived twins 5 years ago and are f...

Hi Neffi,

I would love to do an embryo donation cycle...but my clinic keeps telling me that donated embryos are really hard to come by. Was it easy with your clinic? Can you tell me more about the process? How long did it take? Is it anonymous? Costs?

Thanks,
Indigo.

Officially negative....sorry to ruin the BFP run. Going in next week to raise a stink over $15,000 for one embryo. I myself produced 9 day 3 embryos...NOT ACCEPTABLE! Not ethical! I will be demanding something. We'll see how it goes. It's not fair that the people who are the most vulnerable in the e...
