As I suspected after I started spotting, my test was negative.
I'm devasted, and have have just been crying off and on all day yesterday and today.
All that work and money, 11 eggs, 9 good, 6 fertilized, incredibly painful OHSS, and absolutely nothing to show for it. Not even a frozen embryo left.

Hey, all, pretty funny, I just completed an IVF cycle at the same clinic in Bedford. Unfortunately, it was BFN today.
Good luck with the free cycle, and lots of sticky baby dust!

Hi, all:

Sorry I’ve been out of touch, I’ve been away from computer access.
I’ve just been sitting around crying for a couple of days. It’s been an emotional roller coaster.

I’m from New Orleans, and at the beginning of the week my DH and I went to New Orleans to go to the re-opening of the ...

I had a failed IVF in Nov 2005, and had horrible bleeding. I bled, stopped, started again, etc for about a week and a half. It was clotty, then dark, then bright, all over the map. It had stopped, and I thought I was done, then I took a bath, sat on the toilet lid nekkid for a minute, then went in ...

Angela:

I don't know how you are waiting, I would already be peeing on sticks like crazy.
It sure sounds lke you're pregnant, with the sick feeling and the smell sensitivity.

All the best wishes this weekend!!

Toni

Jemina, sweetie!

Honey, don’t be so upset! It sounds like you are just moving along BETTER :D than expected. If you had slightly elevated FSH numbers (which I believe you said you had), it meant that your ovaries were responding a little sluggishly to your pituary, and the clinic may have predicted ...

Howdy, all!

I’m sorry I didn’t write sooner, I am still so stoned from the Valium they gave me before the blast transfer. I keep just sitting and staring when I'm not sleeping, I need a lava lamp – cool, dude, look at the colors, dude….. 8)

I may have missed a post...did you do EC yet?

Toni

Becky, thanx for the comment! I guess we are going blast, that's what this clinic always does. Supposedly there is a higher success rate, as the blasts are more stable than embies.

Jemima, good luck wiht the injections! You can do it, it'll be worth it.

Sadmommy, soon to be Happymommy? :)

Angela ...

Two liters each??!!?? OMG, I can't even imagine it.

This was both painful and scary.

I was worried about this to start with, but was told by several clinics not to worry, I was too old, it never happens with the over 40 crowd. Yeah, right.

Hey, everyone!

Zirly!!! That is the best news!!! Congrats!!! You must be over the moon tonight. :D :D :D :D You must have just flipped when you got the phone call!!!

Angela: Good luck, the sensitivity to smells was definitely one of the first symptoms for me when I was pregnant. Hopefully, another ...

Angela:

Not to get your hopes up, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was so hypersensitive to smells! And even before my missed AF date, I felt like I was getting the flu, and all I wanted to do was eat and sleep. The tiredness was a bone deep feeling, like i couldn't even lift my arms or ...

V-8 juice is sold by Campbell Soup Company. Its a combination of juices from common vegetables, story is it was 8 veggies but dominated by tomato juice. Its ridiculously high in sodium, a 12 ounce 354 mL bottle has 880 mg of Sodium, that's quite a lot! There's nothing special about it, the ...

Becky, Vickie, JackieG:

I had a failed IVF last November, and I bled like a muther for a week and a half. Bloody, clotty, very painful. It felt similar to a miscarriage I had in my 20's.

Well, this morning I felt even worse, my stomache is killing me. I called the clinic, they said to come in ...

Howdy, all!

Just a quick hi, I'm still kind of tired.
Had my EC today. Nimble, you are funny, but I was the same! Absolutely terrified of going under, but I too survived.

I had 11 eggs, but 2 were "overripe", so we had nine. The embryologist was to do just IVF on the eggs, but we had an unexpected ...
