Hi Everyone, Catharine -Way to go on all the eggs retrieved! I hope all goes well for you and that the TWW isn't too terrible. Tammy - I am so excited for you! I hope your labor goes well and you have a joyous time meeting your new little one. I test tomorrow and am pretty sure that it is going to b...

I am so sorry Emma. Take time to grieve this loss and stay strong.

I totally understand how you feel! I am testing tomorrow with my first IVF try and am so afraid of it being a BFN. I know I should keep hoping and trying but right now I am so emotional and tired from the medication, the thought of doing it again just feels hopeless. Talk to the women on this board ...

Hi Kerry, I am also having bad cramping that started about 4dp3dt and have become progressively worse. I don't test unitl Tuesday and am quite worried but everyone on the board tells me that is is natural to cramp and that many had AF type cramping when they were pregnant. Just try to not let it get...

Thanks Auntie and Lisa for the reassurance about the cramping. I feel a little more calm although they are getting worse... I am just trying to keep a PMA and hope that I make it to the beta testing on Tuesday. Only three more days to wait! And at least I know that we will be trying again very soon ...

Loads and loads of baby dust coming your way! Good luck for a strong BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emma,

It is definitely your turn! Good luck. You deserve a huge, strong BFP!!

Hi and welcome to the board! I just joined it myself (after lurking for months) and everyone here is very supportive and can answer all the questions you have. I is just soooooo nice to know that there are others out there going through the same thing you are and who understand the mood swings and i...

Thanks Amy! You made me feel better. Tonight my DH and I took my mom out for dinner and it was nice to be doing something "normal" and trying to keep my mind off the cramps and the wait. Your cramps are just like AF too? I am also having some sharp pains tonight near my ovaries which I have never ha...

I am so happy for you!!!!!!! You must be on cloud 9! Have a wonderful 9 months and keep us posted on all the details!

Our doctor was shocked and the embryologists were VERY sorry and even one of the nurses who cared for me during the retrieval looked as if she had tears in her eyes when we left. I have been assured that I will get a free cycle (but as yet have received nothing in writing). I was hoping that it woul...

Don't give up hope. It only takes one! I was only able to transfer one embie this cycle and am hoping that is all it takes. Keep the faith!

Hi Everyone, I am so glad that there are so many of us pretty much in the same place in our TWW. I was feeling really sick yesterday- 8dp3dt- kinda like I was getting the stomach flu and had a migrane. I am better today but my cramps are getting much more like regular AF type cramps. I don't test un...

pallavi,

I am so sorry about the BFN.... We are all here for you and I am glad that you are planning on doing another cycle right away. Keep your hopes up!

Sophie,

Loads and loads of baby dust!!! Good luck. I just know you will get your BFP!
