Good morning ladies!
How are you guys doing? Well, we went to the clinic, and we have the results! It's a BFN for me, unfortunately. You know what? I'm fine, and I'm especially relieved. I cried when I had to tell the nurse that I was bleeding, but I didn't cry a tear when she told us the results. The last days of not knowing but not hoping too much were really trying, and now that's over. Phew!
I asked for the FET protocol in order to have some info about what's ahead of us. They almost only do natural cycles. So next time will be drug-free for me. The nurse wasn't sure about the survival rate of thawing embryos, but she told me to call the embryologist. I'll rather ask my doctor when I see him on the 27th.
I have to wait two natural cycles before we attempt a FET, and apparently, this cycle doesn't count. So that means three AFs before I call the clinic and start the FET protocol. That means May. It seems really far, but given that we'll leave for our honeymoon on April 19th, time should not drag its feet too much for me.
What's nice is that we now can pick whatever honeymoon we want because the pregnancy factor isn't there anymore. We can consider cruises, we can consider Egypt (and going to Petra by horse, OMG!), hiking in Ireland... and that's SO exciting! (squeeee!) So believe me, that's what will keep us busy this afternoon (ah, and well... laundry and banana bread baking!).
And about that, we have a question for the lovely ladies who live in Ireland. How's the weather like in the second half of April? Would hiking (and by hiking, I mostly mean walking a lot and enjoy nature... no camping at that time of the year) be pleasant at that time of the year? Or should we wait for another trip and aim for May-june instead? Is the nature pretty at this time or rather muddy and wet? Or even snowy? Thanks for your help ladies!
Okay, that's it I guess. You know I'll stick around until the last sweetheart of this lovely thread has had her result! And you know what? Knowing my result took the bitterness away... I think I could definitely consider seeing a pregnant friend or my DH's colleagues babies now. LOL maybe not today, but... next week!
Take care! And thank you SO much for all the support, thoughts, encouragements, prayers... they meant the world and it was good to know you were standing by my side through this journey.
Lots of love and hugs!

Think angela occassionally posts on the thread for preggie women and all seems ok.
Shantala - haven't caught up on other threads yet, but whats this about someone emailing you....think I can get the jest from becky's post. I hope noone has upset you!!

hi shantala, just seen yr post on other thread - some people eh!!
Excited yes, nervous yes - getting a mixture of emotions at the moment - just couldn't bear to go through the pain again but know I have to do this to get the good results too....see what I mean, completely mixed up !!
Haven't picked up drugs yet so need to do that this week, then I think it will seem all to real. Although I keep forgetting to ring the clinic...duh! however can one forget something so crucial!!
aunty - i'm thinking of you and sending loads of pma for you. As Becky has said before, do not give up and the fat lady sings, there is still every chance you will see yr bfp, don't give up now, as hard as it may seem.

Sophie,
Honey I am so sorry for your lose. Sending you big hugs. Thre realy is nothing to say except I am thinking of you, and I admire your strength.
I need to get something off of my chest and I feel this is the only place that will understand...so here comes my rant.
Today I dropped Abby off with her dad for the week and we always meet on nuetral ground so that we both feel safe and not invading eachothers lives. Well toay he brought his wife with him. If ya'all remember she is pregnant and I asked him to not bring her around me because it hurts me too much for several reasons, the main one being that she is and I cannot. Well he totally agreed and has been very supportive of me doing IVF. Now, I dn't know how it is for you all but for me, I am fine hearing all your news, looking at all your pics and what not, but then there are just some people who I cannot handle it with. Today, as I was telling himabout Abby's meds and what not she procedded to get out of the truck and flaunt her big baby belly in front of me. I was hurt but I said to myself to not let it bother me in front of her. Then she ran up to Abby kissing and hugging her and proceeded to bring out 4 U/S pics. OMG like she couldn't do that in the truck or at their home. I completely lost it, I started to cry and yell, and was so close to punching her when I remembered that Abby was there, so I collected myself. I told him that was uncalled for that she knew my feelings and intensionaly did that to me. What have I ever done to her to deserve to be hurt in that way? NOTHING. I rarly speak to the witch and when I do I choose my words.
So I basically told my ex to take his child-bride (she ONLY 23) home before I do something I will regret. Nothing should ever upset me like this, and I should never wish evil things on someone, but right now I just cannot help myself. I called DH and all he said was don't worry we will have that soon and blah blah blah. I'm not really mad at him but that was a dumb thing to say to me.
Rant over....I am sorry for that. you are all great! I am off to shop like I have never shopped before, and the next time that witch sees me i will be one hot *****! LOL
Thanks for letting clear the air! MWAH

Sophie,
I am sorry things didn't work this time. I hope your FET in a few months will bring the BFP you would love.
A honeymoon away sounds like an exciting thing to plan for and a great way to make the next few months pass quickly. I can recomend Egypt - (but not in August when we went - it was sooooooo hot)
expecially a cruise along the nile - you stay on the boats during the night (lovely hotel style accommodation) and get off during the day to visit everything. We found a great package on the internet that included a personal guide/s for the week - it was great value (better than some of the package tour options).
So my dear, take care I know having the result confirmed (even though it isn't the one you wanted) has bought some peace to you. Enjoy planning your honeymoon and lookforward to your FET in a few months.
Angela
