Hi guys

I am also really interested in acupuncture. Just had my first go at IVF and got a BFN unfortunately. So I am looking into things that may improve our chances next time. Probably going for a 2nd attempt in March 08. What is acupuncture supposed to do? How does it help?

Thanks

Ros

Hi 2nd timer - don't worry I am sure it will work out fine. Your beta has still gone up a lot in the last 2 days. Once you have your first scan your mind will be put at rest.

So I got my AF on Weds and I didn't even bother testing again on friday. I have got an appointment with my Dr next Tues for ...

Thanks for the advice 2nd timer - what is acupunture supposed to do? I have never had it before but my chiropractor clinic does do it so it is something that i could try. I will also speak to my Dr re the 5 day blastocyst transfer. Anything to give the next attempt more chance at success.

I have ...

Congratulations to both of you Shari and 2nd timer - that is great news. Keep us posted with your scan results and your pregnancies.

I spoke to my clinic and they have said to carry on with my pessaries until friday and test again. They don't do beta tests so it is just lots of HPTs for me. I have ...

Thanks Shelyn - I have PM ed you.

So just to confirm what I expected - my second HPT which I took this morning was negative. It is definitely all over for me - I will be starting again as soon as I can in the New Year. Good luck to 2nd timer and Sharishu! Thanks for all your support through this.

Thanks 2nd timer - by all meds do you mean the stimm meds that you finish before EC not the progesterone pessaries that i am on at the moment? I thought I had to stay on the pessaries until I got my AF?

Thanks everyone for your support - I do appreciate it. I do feel quite alone at the moment. Pretty bad timing for my DH to go away but at least we managed to get this IVF cycle in before he went away - at one point we didn't even know if that would work out!

I will be seeing him over the next 5 ...

Hi Shari

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I know there is still a chance but I really don't believe it anymore. I just don't feel pregnant at all. All of my symptons have disappeared - I am sure they were all in my head in the first place. I will keep on with the progesterone until AF ...

Hi there

Well I have just had a BFN - my test date is tomorrow but we tested early because my DH has gone away for 5 months today. I have pretty much lost all hope - I know there is still a chance but dont' really feel like there is.

Anyway the reason we are doing IVF/ ICSI is because of my DH's ...

Hi Everyone

Well I tested early last night because it was DH's last night at home. You were right I shouldn't have done it. It was negative so I was really upset which didn't make it a great last night for DH. So I have lost all of my hope - I am sure it won't have changed by tomorrow as it was ...

Hi Everyone

Fiona - congratulations - that is great news. I am sure you will be fine - brown discharge is fine.

I keep having ups and downs still - not so sure today. Less bloated, not nauseous at all, no cramps. Still gassy though. I don't feel pregnant at all but i also don't feel like my period ...

Thanks for the advice. Will think about the HPT. On my test day I don't have a beta at the clinic I just do a HPT at home anyway so it would only be a day early and I would do one on test day as well. My HCG was on Sat 17th Nov so it is over 2 weeks now. I had my ET on Weds 21st after a 2 day ...

Try to stay positive, your orange spots don't sound like anything to worry about to me. Plenty of ladies on here have had bleeding and still had a strong BFP.

I have been feeling slightly nauseous too. And I am burping loads - a bit of a strange one but my sister (who has 2 kids) said that ...
