My dh and I were on the infertility and ivf rollercoaster for 7 years. We've done IUI, IVF, ICSI, FETs, we've we've gone crazy in the 2ww, we've POAS'ed, we've had BFPs, miscarriages, and more BFNs than I care to remember. We've had periods of feeling desperately sad, hopeful, disappointed, angry ...

It's a bfn for me. I'm feeling battered and bruised by this whole horrible journey. I don't understand why good things just don't happen to me. I kind of knew this was going to be my result. I had NO symptoms, and sometimes you just know.
I'm so happy that the vast majority on this board are ...

Okay I had 7 eggs as of the retrieval yesterday. Today we are down to 4, so I must say I am depressed. :cry: We are doing the transfer Thursday but they don't know if any more will fall off or not. Has anyone had this low of number before and got pregnant?

Amanda, Don't be depressed! Firstly, 7 ...

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I've been MIA. I've been having a nightmare with my internet connection. Only just got it back this morning, although we still don't have TV or a phone! So much for Swiss efficiency!

Franny - I am so so sorry my love to hear about the BFN. I was so so so much hoping that you were ...

Kushka - Yes my baby just turn 4 months yesterday, plus I am pg, plus we are moving, plus I watch my weight etc etc. I am a go go go lady all the time. My dh gets really worked up with me... poor thing. But if I am not busy I get in trouble :) so it's better that way.

Is it normal to feel depressed in the 2ww? i need to feel positive :(

Franca!

It's totally normal! I've been on the verge of howling for a week now. Went for lunch with a work colleague today - was in the middle of a nice salad and a mineral water and suddenly found myself blubbering away to her ...

[quote="turtle0619"] kushka my 2ww sister...i am coming for you!! ::::::entering crazytown to grab you and bring you back to safety::::::

Angela - congratulations!!!! Woo hoo!!!!

Does anyone use the vaginal progesterone? I have to use it morning and night and it is gross. It reminds me of feta cheese lol! If anyone uses it, then you should know what I mean.

Lauren - I use it ...

Hey Dr Boots,

Thanks so much for your post. I'm really relieved that you had no symptoms and yet have a whopping great BFP. You're right, 'nothing could mean something' - that's going to be my mantra from now on!

Some ladies were talking about 'going to crazytown' before. I don't know where that ...

Beta today was negative. Just wanted to let you all know and to say thanks so much for all of your support. I probably won't be back on. RE says that I have a 10-20% chance since I'm such a poor responder to the meds. I don't see any reason for me to put myself through another round and have to pay ...

Hi All,

Bei - so good that AF finally showed up. Glad she could join us!! You are now on your way..!

Paty - so great that you've had a better response to the meds. I guess it shows that with each cycle REs learn and can change things for better results. I'll be thinking of you on Thurs. Hope ER ...

Thanks Angela. That's really put my mind at rest. Not that I don't trust RE, but you know....
You're a font of information by the way. Have you done loads of research online?
And congrats again Mama! You must be feeling so happy and excited.

Hope - I'm so sorry to hear this. I really feel for you. Make sure you and DH look after each other, take all the time you need and tomorrow is another day. You WILL be ok. Much Love!

Franny - we are exactly the same - I am also 5dp2dt today. Isn't it fun (not!). When is your beta? Mine is ...

Kushka,

Thank you for replying... I am so sorry about your miscarriage...Stay postitive and believe that the third time is a charm!You are right it is the hands of God! Did you have any bleeding/spotting before you miscarried? With my previous two miscarriages, I never had any bleeding or spotting ...
