Hi Pummalaeamma, sorry to hear about you loss. If you've read our posts I'm sure you'll realize that none of us here are new to the process and we're all too familiar with other people's ignorance. But stay hopeful.

As for the hpt, I can't tell when you should take one and frankly I would advice ...

Hi everyone
Lots - some testing days depend on the clinic. Some do it 10 post transfer and sometimes 12 and it also depends on whether or not it was a blast.

Michellexx - them giving you a take home test is kinda weird how will you know how high you beta is. If the test is positive how long after ...

Hi and thanks to everyone, I know that was a long post but I really needed to vent. And I am feeling much better now. I'm trying not to let it bother me too much.

Michellexx - I wanted to wish you good luck again. Try not to think about it too much, although it's easier said than done, but being ...

Hi everyone, I missed a couple days and it feels like a couple of weeks. I've been down for the pass couple days. I try not to talk to other people about my treatment because I don't think they understand based on the advice they give me. Some say to try lying flat on my back after sex with my legs ...

Welcome Baobao, we're kinda in the same boat. I don't have a transfer date yet 'cause I'm waiting for AF to come but I think it will be sometime in October. This is one of the times that she couldn't come soon enough (when you need her to come she takes her time and when you don't want to see her at ...

Hi Michellexx and welcome, I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune and hope that you have better luck this time. It seems like we're all just waiting for the day now. Just wondering how come you waited so long before trying again?

Another thought, does anyone of you have any kids yet or are you ...

Hi ksscott, you're more than welcome to join our little thread, sorry about your cancellation, but ur not that far behind us, we can all still go it together.

Lots, I'm also doing a FET. I started the thread just for that not because I want to exclude anyone but because the protocols for FET are ...

Hi Michael, I also cannot offer any advice, my protocol is very different. I'm on BCP right now and will be starting Estrace on CD1 and I only had to take one lupron shot last week. What I can tell you is that the FET cycle is much easier than the fresh one.

Banana, you and lots are closer in dates ...

Hi Lots, thanks for your reply, I will be starting estrogen pills once AF comes. I don't have a date yet for the transfer but I think it will be around the 3rd week of October, now I'm just waiting. Having cycle buddies definitely help with the 2ww. I hope everything goes well. Keep me posted.

Hello ladies, just wondering if there's anyone out there going for FET in Oct/Sept looking for cycle buddies, it would be great to have buddies to share with. I don't get normal periods and am on birth control pills to get a period which should be around the beginning of Oct.

Hi want2bmom, it was positive but my hcg level was very low (see the numbers below) they thought it was ectopic and I had to take a mtx shot so now I'm waiting for AF to start again. I guess because of the PCOS my prolactin levels were kinda high, so they checked the levels again today to see if I ...

Hi ladies I finally got my test results today and it's positive but my doctor's concerned because it was only 10 they think it's a little low and it's been about 11 days post transfer . . . has anyone out there ever tested this low before? should I be worried? I feel a little crampy at times but no ...

I had a 3 day transfer on 8/05 and had cramps, headaches, heartburn, tender breasts like AF was coming up until yesterday I don't feel anything anymore . . has this ever happened to any ladies out there? I feel like I'm going out of my mind . . my test is 8/17. . . I don't know what to think anymore ...
