Hi everyone
Jackie - How did your ET go today ? I've been thinking about you and hope everything went well for you. Now you've got to the 2ww stage so everyone will be sending loads of positive thoughts in your direction. xxx
Elizabeth - Good like with your EC tomorrow, will be thinking of you. xxx
Kel - You just never know until you take that test. I'm going to keep absolutely EVERYTHING crossed for you because you so deserve this. xxx
Jill - Hope you are ok and things are progressing well. I haven't asked about a blood test. I'm going to see what the lab results are tomorrow and go from there. No sign of af so am keeping pretty positive about things.
Jen - My heart goes out to you. I wish I could do or say something that would help in some small way. You wrote that you didn't want to depress this thread any further but what you maybe don't realise is that you could never depress this thread because you are such an inspiration to all of us. You're an incredible, strong, brave woman and all of us are and always will be 100% there for you. xxx
All my love to everyone
Kim

Hi
I had my embryo transfer on Monday -put 2 x 8cell back, I think the extra day really did help make a difference. We also have at least 3 for freezing and possible 3 more if they split a bit more. It is such a huge relief, not sure I could go through the whole process again.
Had to change the cyclogest for injections which I am giving myself intramuscular -the needle is massive. I'm still feeling very rough from egg collection still have a lot of pain, hopefully it will start to ease very soon.
I felt really positive on Monday and Tuesday but Wednesday I felt so down, my husband thinks that all the hormones can't be helping that.
Kim -'congratulations' on the positive result! thankyou for thinking of me on Monday.
Elizabeth -Hope your egg collection went well and you got lots of eggs
Kel -I hope you are ok
Jen -I hope you are ok and that you get some answers very soon
Jill -Hope things are progressing nicely for you

Luv to everyone

Hi Buddies,
Jackie-excllent job, you must be very happy, and Kim, a Big congratulations to you though I haven't seen where you posted your BFP here yet. I'll take a look after I write this.
Well, EC went just fine-23 eggs! and today at ET I have 10 v. good quality embryos to be frozen, in addition to the 6 frosties from last time. Blimey! Been resting and drinking alot, but not too much (thanks for that Caroline-hope you are doing well and hope you go for it again, you so deserve it).
After 7 years of trying to conceive, my hubby and I are baffled as to why it does not happen for us. We are 'unexplained'. Believe me, I think it is better to know than not to know because I tell you it is a form of mental/emotional torture. Still, I feel very fortunate to have gotten this far. Well, maybe this time it will happen for me (oh, the dreaded tww's..)
Luv to all and very best wishes,
Elizabeth

What a positive message this shall be...
Kim - congratuations. Waiting for the scan won't be easy but you should be used to the waiting by now!!
Jackie - 2 x 8 cells sounds really good. Just the next 2 weeks to get through. At least you've got good company! The miseries are part of the package unfortunately. It's almost impossible not to be plagued with doubts and the drugs will stay in your system for some weeks yet.
Elizabeth - wow! Does this mean you had 12 good quality and 2 put back in? Having 16 in the freezer should mean never going through full ivf again, unless you're hoping for a family of 10! Silly question perhaps, but if you already had 6 in the freezer, why didn't you have a FET instead of full ivf? I've obviously missed part of the story - sorry.
Jen - keep us posted with your news. It must be a horrible time, waiting like this.
Kel - how are you doing? test day must be very soon. I know you're expecting the worst but let us know anyway.
hugs all round,
Debra.

Debra,
Actually, 2 transferred and 10 frozen, so 12 all together. The reason I went ahead with the 2nd IVF was because it is free (NHS) and I thought I could at least get some frosties out of it in any case. After this, if I don't get pregnant (can't bear the thought right now so it is almost impossible to write that) , we would go ahead with FET, at this point I think we might have about 3 or 4 rounds of FET available as the first 6 were frozen all together and the rest will be split up in 2 or 3 batches, don't know quite yet exactly. My first IVf was a faint positive..then v. early miscarried in about the 4th week. I'm so hoping that I get pregnant and stay pregnant this time. The frosties I'd like to use to try for a sibling. Of course, who knows what will happen. Since my infertility is a mystery I have become reconciled to life largely being rather mysterious; who knows why things happen the way they do. I'm not a big one for having an explanation that it all happens for a reason. Nope, don't think there has to be a reason, it just is and I can't entirely control it. OK, enough of my boring philosophizing, you certainly didn't ask for that!!
Jen, just read your other post. My lord this is hellish...you seem to be hanging in there alright, but I know this has got to be hard, playing your emotions like a yo-yo. I have wondered about NK cells for myself-how did you determine that you have them? Were you tested her einthe UK for them? My clinic seems skeptical abou tthem. Anyway, you are holding up admirably, I'm cheering for you!
Kel, how are you doing? I don't remember exactly when your test day is-soon, I think, but don't give up hope yet.

I was waiting for lab results that my GP had sent to the local hospital and I don't know what they tested for but there was some sort of mix up and I didn't get a result!!! So I used the other Clear Blue test that I had and tested again on Tuesday and the result was positive again and was a much clearer, darker result. My clinic was happy with the result from Friday and booked me in for a scan on 19/11/04.
How are you getting on ? It's still a worrying time isn't it, even though you've got the result you were hoping for. Have you got a scan date yet ?
Elizabeth - Fantastic results for your EC and ET !! xx
Jackie - Hope you're ok, nearly there now. xx
Kel - Hope you're ok. xx
Jen - Thinking of you. xx
DebraP - Thanks for the congrats and you're right I am getting used to all the waiting. xx
Luv to everyone

Hiya Buddies,
Sorry for not doing personals right now, but just thought I'd better let you know that it was a horrid bfn for us again.. I have had a really bad week, feel very tricked that af pretty much went away to give us false hopes and then I thought at least I got to have the blood test this time, but to be honest it made it worse than ever hearing someone say negative.. So that's it anyway, just very annoyed because I thought it was over more than a week ago, and had my 3 days of crying went to the pub and thought I would be moving on by this week and planning ahead, but the af trick has added so much more heartache! Our review luckily is next friday the 12th, so can find out when we can go for the natrual FET, I really hope it's not much later than January and I know we are lucky that we do have those little frosties waiting but I am so scared now this is how it's always going to end up....
Sorry for this being such a down message, need to sort myself out a bit and then I will be back to check on you all my buddies..
Thank you for all being such lovely friends to me throughout this...
Love to all,
Kel xx

Hi Everybody
Kel - I am so sorry you got a negative results, I know it hurts so much. Good luck at your follow-up appointment, hope they can give you some positive news about January.
I have managed to survive the first week of the 2ww. My husband keeps going on about pregnancy tests (I thought he was supposed to be the voice of reason). I didn't want to test last time and I don't this time either. I know its silly but I feel that while we don't know at least I can still dream about it being positive. Last time they said I was pregnant but it would be gone within the week and it was so I am quite apprehensive about things.
I have a question about the projesterone injections. I am injecting myself intramuscular(?) at the top of my legs. I am finding it very hard pushing the fluid through and my legs are very sore. The needle is very long and has to go in deep but my legs don't feel right. Is this normal, has anybody else done these injections? (I've injected all 4 meds this time and this is the only one I have had a problem with). Can't believe I have been injecting for nearly 9 weeks now.
Hope everybody else is ok and progressing nicely.
Thanks
Jackie

Hi Kel
You poor love, you really have been through a lot...........It really is just not fair...........words my dh hears constantly.

But Kel honey, don't give up hope, this will definately happen for you.....it just doesn't seem to happen when we want it..........maybe your little one is just deciding the right time to arrive........also you lucky lucky thing, you have those wonderful frosties waiting for you!!!
Get a plan in place, have some fun time with DH and then get those wee frosties back where they belong and I will have my fingers crossed for you sweets!
