Hi all- So I got a BFN :( I'm not shocked obviously...I'm doing ok...I already set up an appt with RE for a consult next Monday to discuss this cycle and the next FET. I will get going with bcp as soon as AF comes. I think I'm ready and ok to do it again that soon. I feel like I'm already in the swing of things so dh and I both want to try our other two frosties and see if we have better luck this time. Thanks again everyone for all your support- you all are the best!!

Am really sorry to hear that Laura. I was really hoping the wee sticks were wrong. :(
I think you are incredible to get going again so soon, I had to take 2 months off to regroup - you are very strong, but only you can tell when you are ready to start again.
Look after yourself won't you.

Donni - thanks for your TMI advice! I feel much better now, although still scared (does rhea stand for poo or diarrhoea?) :? It took me ages to realise what AF was! I blame it on being a brit - we have different expressions!


ps Am going to poas this time. I can't face the drive to London only to be told it is a BFN (although it won't be this time) My test date is next wed but I can't do it as DH is away so will wait til thurs. I can't do it any earlier - too scared

Laura ~ I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. I was so praying you would get good news today. I also wanted to get started as soon as possible. I had my first IVF cycle in Sept - got PG - chemical - got started as soon as possible with my FET in Nov - another chemical PG - so I did my next FET as soon as possible in Feb. Finally getting one to stick. Some people need to take time off.... some, like me just want to get started as soon as possible. You do what's best for you. I was bound and determined to get PG and it stick come heck or high water!!! In the meantime -we are all here for you!

Karen ~ Yes, rhea means poo or diarrhea or I am peeing my panties through my butt-hole. I know sometimes I share too much info, but I know sometimes the most TMI things can be the most helpful. By the way, I had to go #2 before the transfer, but obviously since I needed a full bladder I couldn't and I was so scared that I was going to poop all over the RE. That didn't happen and I finally have a sticky one. Maybe the full colon as well as a full bladder helped??? :wink:

Hi everyone else!

Laura I'm so sorry, I was soooo hoping as well that it was just too early for the sticks. That's good you're going right for it again, that's what we did. We did one fresh and 2 FET in a row. Then I needed a small break :) Hopefully you're doing good, and AF will come and you can get back at it.

Donni-Hey Poops!-You're funny, I always try to hold back my TMI but since I feel like I know you all better...no holding back. The peeing through your panties through your butthole, my goodness, I laughed for ever over that! Like Larry the Cable Guy says "It's like goin' through a screen, and not touchin' a wire". Haha!
As for you U/S 4 more weeks! Wow! I'm glad you're considering finding out what it is...that would drive me nuts! Hmmm, that means I can guess...I'm sort of thinking pink????

Karen you doing good? Any thing going on to make you think it worked? That's what awful about the 2WW!! Hopefully the wait will go by fast for you!!

Barbarella where ya been??
Beth? You too?

have a good day y'all!

Donni - you make me laugh so much but also make me feel better at the same time!

I feel absolutely nothing and it is really frustrating. I keep telling myself that people who get pregnant without help don't feel anything at this stage but it doesn't help!

Sending hugs to you all

Thanks all for your support!

Karen- Wish I could say my 2ww just flew by but it really did drag- I cannot tell a lie!! But I hope your wait will go really quick!! I know just what you mean about feeling nothing but wishing you felt something and just like you said, "normal" women wouldn't feel anything yet. It's hard no matter how you look at it. Next Thursday will really be here before you know it- actually only a week from tomorrow!! I'll be thinking of you and sending baby dust and positive thoughts your way!! Good luck! We're here to help you through the wait.

Donni- Glad to hear I'm not the only one that would want to jump right back on the bandwagon and do the next cycle. I'm so happy that you did end up with one sticking!!! Have you felt any more movements? I thought that was the most amazing thing ever- I think I remember I felt my son kick around 19 weeks. How are you carrying- all over or a big ball in front? (or it might be too early to tell) Are you craving any certain foods? After you answer, I'll try to guess the gender too!!!

Faith- And glad to hear that you also did a few cycles in a row. I wasn't sure if that was the right way to go but I do feel like I can do it. I will meet with my RE on Monday though and I'll of course take his advice if he thinks I should wait longer but I hope he doesn't say that! When do you start shots??

Hi Barbarella and Beth- Hope all is well with you both.

Hellooooo Peeps
Laura - Big hug flying over to you, so sorry to hear your news. I also got straight on it right after my fresh cyle and also now after FET. We are lucky to have this group as it helped me massively, I think I would have been a real wreck after the last episode....

Just a quick sign in, as we are knocking our house down and extending and also cleaning our boat to sell all with one broken wrist and do i care no way!! who cares I start my nasal on sunday. ...I feel like i have waited ages for this day to come. I have decided that I am not going to get too obsessed this time i am not going overboard just gonna be me! The house is taking my thoughts over so I am hoping all will be just chilled out, I will have acupuncture but not as many as last time. As we cannot afford it, we are saving pennies for a new roof he he!

Beth/Faith- Here we go !! Once again, we can do it this time, i can feel it!

Donni - Glad to hear you and bubs are doing well. Donni you are committed to this site you have to keep making us laugh!! Just kidding about the committed, err no i'm not. Hehe (rhea i was giggling at that!)

My ET will be 24 June if all runs smoothly, it seems ages away!

KYW - Good luck for next thurs ... A Big sack full of baby sticky dust coming your way!

2 weeks then the cast is off thank god it feels like i have had it on forever. I had a pink cast on and the colour drove me crackers so i went back and asked them to change it and i had to beg on my knees, they put blue over the top and now it weighs a tonne! Feels like i am carrying a tin of beans all day!

Well better go and give DH a hand, literally he he

Take care you girlies and baby donni, have a lovely weekend! Hi to everyone else.

OK - really quick update because I need to feed my kids.

Drum roll please ...................................... ITS A GIRL!!!

Yep ladies- we saw three little lines down there - so unless its a boy and he has 3 little ding dongs - she is definately a girl!

I am so excited. I went out and bought a couple of outfits. I had to get one for daddy that says Daddy's Little Cupcake. I can't believe this is actually happening.

Lots of love to you girls... don't worry, I'm not going anywhere -I can't wait to see you all PG.

Donni

Donni- Oh congratulations!!!!! How very exciting- a precious little girl!!! I just love the Daddy's little cupcake- that is so adorable. Now you can go all out pink! I'm so happy for you and dh- your dream is coming true and I'm so glad you are sticking around here to keep us all updated- you started this thread so hopefully your good preg vibes will rub off on all of us!!!! Enjoy this exciting time!

Barbarella- Great to hear from you. So you got right going on your cycles too- at first, I thought I was crazy to think to do that but a bunch of you all have now told me that you went right on to another cycle so I feel less crazy! Glad your wrist is getting better- I bet you just can't wait to get that cast off- that's so funny that you made them change the color- love it!! Sounds like all is moving along for you- that's probably good that you have projects to keep you busy so the time will pass even quicker. June 24 will be here before you know it!!!

Karen- Hope the time is flying right by for you!

jiojk (that was what my 2 year old just wanted to type to you all :)

Take care and have a great weekend everyone!

Woo Hoo!!! Donnell, congrats! I was right, I thought pink. Out of I'd say about 30 kids from friends and family, I've only been wrong once!! I just get a weird vibe...lol. Congrats again!

I ordered my meds today...ugh! So expensive!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Yippeeee- AF is in the house!! How sad to get this excited about it but I was just hoping it would be sooner than later after my bfn...so now I should be able to have my u/s and bloodwork done on Monday when I go for my RE consult so that worked out good since the office I go to is about 50 miles roundtrip from my house...so that made my day today- again, how sad!!

Thanks ladies!!! I appreciate it. I have been with a few groups and I have always been very happy when others got their BFP's but I hated when they left and I never heard from them again. I wanted updates and to live vicariously through them. Somehow it made it possible for me to get PG and kept me going at times. On the other hand :oops: I am embarassed to say sometimes I was a bit jealous. But I always got over it. So I hope you don't mind my sharing.

Laura ~ YAY for AF. Seems strange whenever I type that but in this case it is great. Good luck on Monday - now get back on those BCP!!! Another crazy thing to say while trying to get PG. LOL!

Faith ~ Well... you were right. So I guess you will have to predict everyones gender once they get their BFP! YAY on ordering meds. You are on your way!

Barbarella ~ So... starting nasal meds today? Good for you on not getting obsessed this time around. Sounds like you have your hands full anyway. Maybe all the distractions will help.

Karen ~ Hey there lady. I hope you are holding up OK in the 2ww. Good luck on Thursday! I am praying for that BFP!

Everyone else - hope you are all doing well. Thinking of you!

Donni

Hi all- I met with RE yesterday and he said that if we are emotionally ready, we can go right ahead with our other FET. So that's the plan...the transfer will be July 3rd. The date he had at the end of June was just a little too early and I have a work commitment that day that I absolutely had to keep so July 3rd it is! That's close but far away! I'll start the bcp tomorrow- time for the tiredness again!!! So I'm excited and I'm sorta looking at this as possibly our last try so we gotta give it everything we got and then some!...RE said I'll keep the protocol all the same because he liked how I responded last time. My u/s and blood were good yesterday so here we go!

Karen- How are you doing with the wait- only 2 more days, right?!? Hope you are feeling good. I'm thinking of you and praying for you.

Donni- I just love you sharing with all of us because it's exciting and hopeful to think we'll all join you! How much pink have you bought?!?

Faith, Barbarella, Beth- How much longer on bcp for you guys??

Take care all, Laura

Hi everyone!
Hey Laura yippee! Horray for AF, lol. I never got excited for mine until doing all this stuff! July 3rd sounds good for an FET! Those are nice because you don't have to stim, my stims start the 23rd I have 1 more week of BCP.

Karen you only have two more days!!!! ++++++

Donni hope you and your girlie girl are good! I remember you saying you have a son, is this the first girl?? How exciting! A friend of mine, her cousin just had the first boy in the family in 23 years!! Crazy!

Barbarella how is the house coming along??? And the wrist?

Beth how you doing? I don't remember if you gave any dates yet?

:D Happy Tuesday you all! :D

Wow congrats Donni!

Glad to hear you are getting going again Laura and Barbarella

Hope you are both well Faith and Barbarella

Only 1 more day to go now - I could POAS tomorrow but DH isn't around so I won't.
My ovaries ache when I need to drink - is this a good sign? Also I need to pee more and my bladder is definitely not full - is this a good sign?
Or as I suspect - does it mean bugger all????? :D
