So my gut feeling was correct and it was another failed ivf cycle :( Thanks to all of you who helped me get through the horrible 2ww. I met my doctor for a review today and she feels that my eggs are not doing as well as they should be in a woman of my age, and even though I am producing many in ...

thanks again all you wonderful people - you just help make this process so much more bearable. Welshgirl, please don't give up. I've read stories about women who've gone through 6-7 ivf cycles and it's worked eventually. This is such a waiting game and I think the worst thing (for me at least) is ...

thanks again all. my husband is wonderful and patient and tolerant and I do demand regular cuddles which he is more than happy to give! But I agree that we as women get so caught up in the whole IVF thing that partners do tend to get neglected. I do realise it must be as traumatic for my husband as ...

Thank you both so much for your beautiful thoughts - I feel better just reading what you have written! I will try to keep my chin up but I do have this sinking feeling that I am going to get my period soon. But as my doctors says, "there are more options" so I guess I will just have to keep trying...

I've been a regulalr visitor to this message board for some time and just reading some of the stories here not only has given me hope, but makes me realise how brave women going through ivf treatment are. So thank you all.

I am on my 2WW and on my 3rd ivf cycle. I had the ET under sedation as my ...

My 2nd ivf too resulted in a BFN, although I wasn't expecting a BFP since the very week I had the ET and had to be the most relaxed, we had a disaster at home with a burst water pipe flooding the whole house! But anyway, that aside, my doctor says I have a very narrow cervix (cervical stenosis I ...

Hi, congrats to you too- guess we'll be finding out around the same time so Good Luck :) And I'm so sorry to hear about your M/C. It is very hard to go on with this but each fresh cycle brings fresh hope I guess, and that helps make it easier. I started acupuncture for this cycle and hopefully it ...

Thanks

hello everyone. This is my 2nd ivf cycle and just had a little blastie transferred yesterday - fingers and toes crossed! My body seems to have responded better to the drugs this time and I had 20 eggs retrieved, of which 10 fertilised, and 5 made it to to blastocyst stage and have been frozen (and ...

One failed ivf attempt and one failed thaw cycle, here I am again. Can anyone tell me anything at all about success rates of blastocyst implantation???

thank you, all you beautiful ladies, so much for your wonderful thoughts. I do feel much better, and DH and I have started talking about our next cycle. I do feel very sorry for him too - often partners can get neglected in the whole ivf process. I'm actually relieved that I'm going to be off the ...

to anyone out there who can say something to make me feel better...had my pg test scheduled for today but I already knew the results because I got my period last night. I thought I was prepared for disappointment - after all I've been TTC for 2.5 years with no luck, so I should know what it feels ...

thanks guys. I test on thursday...so nervous :S

Hi, I;m a first time IVFer too, and have my pg test scheduled for the 29th, a day after you! Like you, I am going crazy. In fact, I have just opened a new topic asking those who had successful IVFs to share their early pg symptoms. I have decided not to do a HPT because if it's negative, I'll be ...

Everyone who's in the dreaded 2WW must be going crazy (like me) with being so sensitive and in tune with every little change that could be a 'pregnancy symptom'. Anyone who has become pregnant after IVF, please share your early symptoms and set our minds at ease!!
