? for Ghost and anyone with repeated BFN's

Hi all. I'm sorry if you are reading this post with repeated BFN's

I have just completed my 2nd fresh cycle and it's looking like another BFN (no +'ves on HPT's, BETA is Thursday - I am 11 dp3dt).

This cycle, my Day 2 FSH was 6.6. We had 17 mature eggs, 11 fertilised and on Day 3 we had 3 x10 cell ...

Hi Mel - I wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts. I hope that you and DH are getting through this horrible time.

I think Lola answered your question much more succinctly than me. I did get testing after the 2nd D & C which advised us that the baby had a trisomy 22 chromosomal problem ...

Hi Mel - I'm really sorry for your loss, and that you and your family have to go through this.

I'm not sure if I can help with advice as I haven't had any 'natural' m/c's but I have had two D&C's :cry: , one at 12 weeks and one at 7 weeks. The Dr's here in Singapore tend to offer them and you ...

Ghost Hi - THANK YOU so much for your thoughts. Sorry for the tardy response but I have been 'resting' and trying not to spend time at the PC.

To answer your question - and this may seem illogical but anyway... The frozen embryos are left from a fresh cycle in 2006. We also had a FET (2006) from ...

no period since D & C

HI - I'm in a bit of a panic and hope someone may be able to help (please!)

My last IVf was sucessful but unfortunately there was no heartbeat and they did a D & C at 7 weeks (Tissue studies showed that there were chromosomal problems). That was on the 10 Jan and since then I have not had my period ...

Sorry Nicola! I didn't want to stress you out - you have enough to deal with on the 2WW as it is ( I have my fingers x'd 4 you). I just wanted to let you know that that's thinking over this way..... just in case........

Lets face it - most of us would probably dance naked under the full moon if we ...

Hi Nicola - I have completed one IVF cycle here in Singapore (I am from New Zealand but living here for a while) and thought I would let you know what we are told here for the 2WW. The Asian culture is very different in respect of foods to eat/not eat .

I was given a printed list on the day of my ...

Ghost - any advice please?

Hi Ghost - thanks for all your great input on this site. You have answered lots of my questions along the way.

Do you have any thoughts on my earlier question of a D & C the month before my FET?

Many many thanks,

Hi - thanks for your thoughts.

My frozen embies (11 - 6 Grade 1's and 5 Grade 2's ) are at 3 days (mostly 7 and 8 cells) so I suppose it will be a 3 day transfer. I did ask if we should grow them to blast stage but my Dr wasn't keen.

My Dr did a 'scrape' of the womb (not pleasant BTW) this morning ...
