hi girls<br><br>just thought as negative girls need a new thread. I feel much better now but had a horrible time at the clinic. I went today as I had to have a blood test to finish the trial. My mum came with me as dh could not face it he has taken it hard. When we were in the waiting room a couple came in with a baby about 6 months, had to really hold back the tear's. I know i should be happy for them as the baby was proberly a result of ivf,just felt so jealous. Well I have to go back on 15 october and have more blood test, then we will see the doctor about our next step. I think we will have fet but on a natural cycle.<br>well we are going to have some time out and book a nice holiday and i'm going to get really drunk to night....<br><br>karen it would be great to meet up for coffee sometime when you feel up to it. Sarah how are you feeling.<br><br>i'm really pleased for the girls who have got positives this week, but it was not our turn again. we are strong and will fight another day.<br><br>well hope i have not gone on to much.<br><br>from july ann

Hi<br><br>Was just catching up on postings - so sorry to hear of the no-go's this time. Its incredibly gutting, I know. When our ICSI failed, I remember the very wise and lovely Tracey Sharpe, bless her, who said that we should look on this as a course of treatment. We'll get there in the end but our "conditions" need sorting first. Each attempt should be looked on as a step closer. Keeping that in mind really helped me to believe that one day our turn would come.<br><br>Have a relaxing weekend and lots of hugs for eachother.<br><br>Love<br><br>Rachel<br>x

Hi All,<br><br>July Ann, I know exactly how you feel with the jelousy.<br><br>Having a pretty s**t day today. Yesterday found out that my friend who's wedding I went to 3 weeks ago is 12 weeks pregnant!!! Not her fault of course but this has sent me back on a downer, plus DH came home early from work yesterday as he could not concentrate also v depressed.<br><br>This morning we had a long (tearful and sobbing on my part) discussion as to whether we should carry on. I think we will wait to see what the outcome of the further tests are, and if they can find something to treat maybe go ahead, but if not then probably stop. I know that DH really wants to stop now, but I can't quite bring myself to face a childless future. I also wonder whether there are many stats on frozen blastos. I get the feeling that it is not something they have done much before as it is not often that there are any left to freeze. I suppose I am hoping that a "fresh" cycle might give a bit more hope.<br><br>I think DH & I need a bit of space from each other, we can't seem to stop being nasty to each other. Would like DH to have a holiday, he has had no real time off this year, but he is resisting at the moment.<br><br>Sarah, glad you are feeling better as well. Hopefully now that AF has arrived I will get rid of some of those nasty hormones and will feel more like a normal person.<br><br>Thanks for listening to my whingeing!!<br><br>Love<br><br>Karen<br>xx<br><br>

Hi July ann,<br>How are you feeling? What sort of a weekend did you have?<br>I'm sorry I've been absent for the last few days - had IV immunoglobulin on Friday and felt quite zapped with the sntihistamine I got! Then have had visitors at the weekend!<br>I can totally understand your jealousy - I used to hate going up to the unit when I knew it had failed but had to have blood test to tell me what I already knew! In fact the last few tmts I refused to go!!!<br>You certainly soung very strong and I think its good you are already planning ahead - good luck on the 15th - hope you get some answers and plans for next go!<br>I've actaully got the welcome msg ' just call me tigger' on my mobile cos that is how I've felt after all the upset and disappointment of the last few years!<br>Karen,<br>its still very early days but don't give up - I was at my lowest when the 3rd tmt failed!<br>Sarah - so sorry to hear your sad news - will post more on your thread!<br>Take care,<br>Di
