TESTING TODAY

DEBORAH · Post by **DEBORAH** » Tue Oct 29, 2002 7:37 am

HI GIRLS Thought I would keep you posted on my situation. I am having my blood test today to see if IVF has worked but will not know results till after 4pm. Anyway-Went to loo last night and shock horry I had brown spotting on loo roll told hubby who is just been fabulous since January 2002 when we found out we needed IVF treatment. I had a good old cry for about 1 hour and eventually we got to sleep. Got up this morning-day of blood test and there on loo roll was blood!!!! Had another cry before hubby had to go to work and I am still crying typing this message. I feel totally let down and SHITTY about the whole IVF treatment as it looks like it hasn't worked even thought we all know we only have 25%-30% chance of it working you want a baby so much it hurts and another thing why can't I get pregnant normally? Can someone please answer me. As you can tell from my message I am down (which is an under statement) as I just know as soon as anybody asks me anything I will bust into tears. Will post results later today either way. A very sad and confused Debx Going to hospital for blood test this morning which I cannot see the point as I know already what the results are going to say.

Dear Debs I'm on my first attempt at IVF and still sniffing so haven't yet experienced the 2ww. All I can say is that a lot of the other girls who have gone on to be pg have also had bleeding/spotting before they tested - so don't give up hope quite yet (easy to say I know). We are all here for you and sending you lots of love and positive thoughts. Love Michelle x

Hi Debs, Keeping my fingers crossed for you; And wishing positive thoughts for you-Becks,Louise and Beverley and all the 2wws. My test came as negative yesterday. More worried about my DH !!!!! He thinks he has to be strong for me......; This was my third attempt-so I'll have to stand back and regroup and decide what to do next!!!! Best of luck to the rest of you.

I was due to do a test today too, but was spotting last night & bleeding this morning. After a terrible time during egg collection (going into OHSS almost immediately) earlier this year, this was our first frozen transfer. The clinic said that doing a test might still be worth it, just incase, but I feel that I know the answer already, and feel scared I suppose in confirming our fears.

HI GIRLS Thanks for all your kind words I LOVE YOU ALL and you are all special friends to me. I was totally devastated when I started to bleed this morning am just starting to pull myself around ready for the 4pm call to hospital and it will start all over again no doubt. All other 2ww keep positive as we all know IVF does work (sometimes!) but my turn was just not this time. Will update further after 4pm Love Debsx

Dear Debs I'm so sorry - nothing I can say will make it any easier, but I am so thinking of you. Take care and love and hugs Louise XXX

Debs So sorry to hear about the negative. I know there are no words that can make the pain any easier. Don't forget that we are all here to offer support - I know I found it comforting to keep logging on and reading the notices last week when it went wrong for us too. However, it does get easier, day by day, very slowly. I found that it helped to make plans for fun stuff - holiday, weekends with friends, Christmas etc. And most importantly, spend some time pampering yourself and your hubs, you deserve it! I too will perhaps be starting again in the new year, so stay in touch! Lots of love Luce
