Hi ladies! I've been reading and cheering you all on!! Would anyone mind if I joined? So I know that I'm holding out for a dream here, but I actually ovulated this month...on my own. So we timed things and tried naturally. Now I'm in my type of agonizing 2ww, torturing myself thinking that it may have happened on its own. Doubtful, but I could use some distraction to get me through if no minds? My Internet cheapies should be here Monday at which point I will be a POAS-aholic :)

Well Ladies,
The results are in and the doc says to be cautiously optimistic. It is positive, but numbers are very low. Only a 14 and should be a 50 for a FET. I got the call at the zoo picnic and my doc was there. She gave me a big hug and was very positive. Said FET can take longer to wake up. So now I get to keep waiting till Tuesday to see if my numbers increase. I have read good and negative on here about these numbers and will just ask for prayers. This was our only frosty so not sure if we will do another cycle if this is a bust. Prayers are appreciated.

Cordiallia- Keep your chin up. Hopefully both are little frosties a were slow on the draw and will catch up this week.

Patrica- This may sound odd, but years ago my former spouse kept having vertigo. I asked him to have his ears checked and when he did the doc pulled out a huge glob of ear wax packed in there. Instantly his vertigo disappeared. The same thing happened to his grandpa. Just thought I would share. You never know what could help. If not is there something else they can do for you?

Tonya- Good luck tomorrow. You will be in my prayers.

Rypell1985-We would be glad to have you join us. We each need all the support we can get. Anything to keep our minds busy during this 2ww mind game of a wait. Look forward to hearing positive results from you. We have started using first names.

Christie: I wanted to wait up as long as I could. I'm really pleased this is a positive for you. I know its lower than you would like but I'm praying that it doubles for you x

Rypell: hi, you are very welcome

Cristie,

Just read on a forum that 5 is the lower normal positive. The number itself matters much less than its rate of growth. Don't give up hope!

Cristie - Of course now I am back to hoping against hope since our FETs were so close together and I have a history of low numbers even with a fresh cycle! This whole process is such a mind game lol. Got to keep busy until Monday...

Ryanne: another lovely name!!! I see you have twins, that's lovely :D when should you know if you are pregnant?

Christie: id been on tender hooks all day waiting :D

Cordelia: yay for hope :-) I'll light my candle for you later

Annette: you ok?

Tamika: are you resting?

Tonya: today will be so much easier than er. Wishing you so much good luck. When is beta?

Afm: oh dear I think the cyclogest progesterone is starting to kick in. Im so irritable!!!! And im a bit crampy y like mild af symptoms. My beta isnt til wed 5 so im hoping its either the progesterone or a good sign that the embryos are burrowing. Anyone feel cramp on progesterone? Last time my period came 6 days before I was due to have the beta and im really hoping that wont happen this time

Looks like the September board isn't taking off, so I am going to keep posting here if it's OK! Had my first u/s today after 5 days of stims. 8 or 9 follicles in left ovary meauring 9-13, and 4 or 5 on right measuring 8-10. Doc says looking good
Meds stay the same but adding ganirelix starting tomorrow night. Estimated retrieval still Saturday morning.
I am Lindsey by the way.

Lindsey: Of course it is - delighted to have you hear - I had a look at the September board yesterday and thought how busy it seemed! However - their loss is our gain :) Follicles sounding really good. I don't know ganerilex - we don't use it here. So what are all of your drugs?

Tamika: Thanks a lot - of course as soon as I typed it they bloody well vanished! How are you feeling now?

Annette: Are you ok?

Tonya: Ditto?

Cristie: Are you looking after yourself?

Cordelia: How are you doing?

Sorcet - how are you getting on?

Afm; went out to the Tall Ships Festival in Dublin earlier. I felt really dizzy but surprisingly the walking does seem to have helped in that I'm not as bad now as I was earlier - yay! However, the spontaneous bursting into tears for absolutely no reason when I was walking wiht my sister was a bit weird! She has been through 7 ivfs so she knows the drill but she said her tears normally came at least with a feeling - mine didn't!
