Hi,

Just to keep you ladies updated. I rang the clinic today to inform them of my BFN yesterday, I was told to stop taking the bum bullets and if A/F don't come in a couple of days, to do another test, so that's where I'm up too at the moment.

I will update you's when I know more.

Good luck all.

Love
Pat

Just updating:

I had my follow up BT, and my numbers went down, so no luck this go around. I have 3 frozen embryos, so we are hopeful with that. I was just so hoping this time was it. I am so happy for all of you that got great news with your BFP's, and I very much feel for and understand for those of you that didn't.

I need some advice from those of you that have been down this road. Do I wait a while to have the FET or do I do it right away? What are your thoughts on this. The doc said I could do it right away if I wanted to. My fear now is that the frozen ones won't survive. If our 3 don't work, we have to call it quits, at least with the doctors help anyway. We cannot afford to do it again, and I just am not getting any younger!

Hi Ladies,

Well, my transfer was today. I had accupuncture before and after the transfer. Two of my three eggs fertilized and both were implanted. There was one 8 cell and one 5 cell.

To be honest, I feel more relieved now that they are inside of me and out of the lab.

Sam- geat news and congrats!

Kd- so sorry, I will be thinking of you

Pat- a blood test will at least give you a definite answer

Amy- hoping for your results to double

Nneal- Best of luck. Take it easy for the five days. My clinic had me on bed rest for 5 days which I thought was extreme but now that I am pregnant I think everything they did was right on!!! Two is a good number! Wish you the best of luck

Nneal - take it easy and I think the most important thing is to not look back at any activities with regret. Good luck in your 2ww -

KD - I am so sorry. Unfortunately I know all too well how you are feeling. This whole thing is quite a roller coaster ride. I think that the wait is a personal decision. I needed some time - although my clinic was ready to go by my next cycle, my emotions were not. I also dont think your body needs to go through it all right away. Might need some resting time before you start up. Like I said to Nneal - you dont want to regret doing anything too soon. I do truly think your heart will know when you are ready.

As for me - my time is up. The numbers are decreasing so now I am awaiting the inevitable. I am still very upset and confused. I have no more frozen and not sure that we can even afford to do it again - or if it is even worth trying again. It is so hard to keep flushing all that money with so much heartache. Unfortunately too many of you know exactly how I feel. I will keep up on the boards as I take comfort in seeing that it is working for others.

Thank you again for the support!

Amy, sorry to hear your news... Here's a hug (((HUG))) Stay strong

kd, sorry for your news as well... (((HUG)))

This 2ww is torture....I'm feeling somewhat obsessed :shock: I plan on testing about 10 dpo, that's when my normal AF would arrive. I have 7 pg tests coming, so I'm sure I'll be using all of them...

Dory - how are you doing? I've read alot of your postings and you seem like such a wonderful person. This board is blessed to have you!!!

AMY & KD, Sweeties, i am so very very sorry to hear your sad sad news.

It is so heartbreaking to have this wonderful gift given to you then taken away in a heartbeat..... sorry perhaps not the right word, but it basically is....
I haven't had a +tive with the IVF, but i have had 3 misscarriages, 2 ectopics and 1 baby taken from me an hour after he was born, so i know all too well how you are feeling at the moment.
I can tell you it will get better, it may take time, but it will....
You will never get over your lose, but you will learn to live with it, and please believe me when i say, it will make you a stronger person...

Look at me my hubby says i'm as hard as granet and a right stubborn *****, that doesn't give up, and i'm telling you, it's all because of the knock backs and heartaches.

I pray that you get your dream come true, and in the not too distant future you are holding your own precious baby in your arms....

Kd - You were on about try again straight away, the choice is yours and DH, but my Dr told me after a fresh cycle of IVF to leave it 3 months before trying again, so your body can get back to normal and you can get fit again, your bady has been through a lot of stress and need time to recouporate (spell).

Pat - hun, how are you holding up, i hope and pray it's all turning ot for the best...

Jovigal - Hold in there girl, the 2ww will be over before you know it and your be announcing your BFP!!!!!

Nneal - The same goes for you take it easy let DH do all the work and relax, we want a strong bF from you too.....

Sam - I hope you are taking it easy too, and enjoying every moment of your wonderful gift....

Not much to report on my end, having a quiet couple of weeks, trying to get back in shape and also arranging a nice relaxing holiday in Mexico for me and hubby to relax and find each other again - I think this break is a great idea and well needed.
If you don't already know, we are living in Ohio for 3 yrs as part of DH job. I don't have to work so i'm a lady of leisure :wink: which has been lucky with all this treatment.....That's why i'm on here a lot i've got a lot of free time.....
We have a house which were letting out, back in St Neot's Cambridgeshire, when when we go back we hope to sell that and move back near our home towns in Glos & Wilts.

Hope everyone else is holding out ok..
Take Care

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but Af is coming.....The dream is over

Monday lunchtime, I had a show of blood, and cried!!! but then nothing no Full Bleed or tummy aches, woke today and nothing however as the day had gone by tummy aches is in full swing and have brown/darkred smudges, not full AF, but i am certain that Af will arrive over night, if not by bed time!!!

However, if it does arrive tonight I know for a fact that I ovulated when i thought i did and i am sure that IUI was done at right time.....

Thx to everyone!!

I'll post definate news in the next 24hrs x x
TTC 6yrs......Have jumped off the rollercoaster for now, too many BFN's and too much heartache, to keep going....Moving on to fulfil other dreams!!!
