JUNE/JULY CYCLE

cmg · Post by **cmg** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 1:56 pm

Faith, any news on how well your eggs fertilised? Hope you've got a lovely stash of embies waiting for ET tomorrow. Do let us know.

Chrissy, hope ET went or is going well.

Kagome, any sign of AF yet? It always makes me laugh that there are some people on here desperate for it to show up and others (like me at the moment) hoping just as desperately that it stays away!

I'm now halfway through my 2ww. I don't think the first week is too bad actually. I spent the first 3 days mostly lying down or at least with my feet up and since then I've been taking things relatively easy but trying to get back to normal. I haven't been too worried because it seems too early for knicker checking - AF wouldn't show up this early. I think as this week wears on it'll get harder but so far it's not as bad as I expected.

hope everyone else is doing ok

Hi

I have just heard from the clinic and my 2nd blood test has gone up to 198 from 96. They said it was what they expected and I should go back next Thursday for a 3rd blood test.

Has anyone else had results are they normal.

Fingers crossed.

Love
Anne

Hi Everyone,

Well, I'm sorry to bring a negative note to the June / July thread, but it's all over for us. We didn't get any embryos to transfer. I can't be bothered to go into the details here, I'm sure I'll have some questions when the news has really sunk in.

I just feel completely numb at the moment. I always thought that this is where it would go wrong for us. That's why I was distraught last week when things didn't look good - I wasn't prepared for it then.

I made poor DH take the 'phone call, I just couldn't do it. I knew when they rang before 11 am that it was bad news, I knew they would want to get it over with.

I don't know where we go from here.... We'll have to see what they say. We'd like another go, but I just think my eggs are crap and it's never going to work. I've known this all along really....

One thing I'm NOT doing (which is a first for me) is giving myself a hard time for every remotely positive thought I've had or thing I've done (like staying in Manchester last night). It worked out for the best as DH would have taken the call at work if we'd come home and that wouldn't have been fair. I'm beginning to realise that it doesn't matter how positive or negative you are. It's never going to change anything. This time just wasn't meant to be for us.....

So, I never got to join the 2WW people and I'm not sure whether it's better to fail now or not.

I wish all of you the very best of luck (I would give you it if I could, but I don't have any) and I'll keep in touch and let you know what happens in the future....

At the moment I can't see a single positive from this, apart from the fact that I can get REALLY drunk tonight....

Faith xx

Faith, I'm so so sorry to hear your news. There is nothing at all that you need to beat yourself up about. Being positive is not a crime and the cycle didn't not work just to spite you because you dared to hope. Sometimes life is just not fair.

Have a drink for those of us who can't at the moment. Take some time out to feel better before you decide what to do next. And on this horrible horrible day, take some comfort from the fact that you and your DH have each other and are safe and well, which is more than some poor people have tonight.

Oh Faith .. I'm so sorry to read your news. I don't know the answer to your question .. when is the best time for the cycle to end ..? ... It's pretty crappy at any point I suppose.

You're right that you shouldn't be beating yourselves up about it .. you did everything in your power to obtain the result.

Will you get a follow up consultation ? Do you know when this is ? If you can get your dr's opinion on what happened / didn't happen, it might help.

You and dh make sure you spend some time together ENJOYING YOURSELVES. We all know just what this takes out of us, and what we've denied ourselves. You deserve some treats now, even if a little naughty.

Take care and keep us updated

Hello to everyone. I just returned from ET. They put back 2 excellent quality embies. I am a bit tired but mostly I think it is from the valium they gave me before ET. I will write more later when I am more awake.

Hope everyone is doing well.
Hugs, Chrissy

Well done Chrissy - now get plenty of rest and let the implantation imp do his stuff.

Take it easy won't you.

God help you along the way

I am feeling much better today. Have had no spotting or anything. I am just mostly bored out of my mind. lol

Faith-I am so sorry to read your news. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sandra and LittleP-Thanks so much. I slept most of yesterday but now I am not tired and have no idea what to do with myself for the next 3 days. It is not even 11am now and I feel like time is just dragging by. This 2ww is gonna be LONG. lol

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
Hugs and Love,
Chrissy

Hi Chrissy,

glad to hear you're doing ok. I had Live8 and 2 Wimbledon finals to get me through the first 3 days of lying around - shame they don't lay on that kind of entertainment for everyone's start of 2WW!

Get yourself some good books or videos and enjoy the fact that you're ALLOWED to do nothing without feeling guilty. I'm quite surprised that the first week has gone fairly quickly, but then I'm a world expert at wasting time. I don't know where it goes!

Come on over to the 2ww chat thread too. There aren't that many of us left waiting now - me, Sammy, Lumi. Poor Michelle, hanging on in there. There seemed to be a lot more in June.

Faith, I hope you're feeling ok today (or if not, that it's cos you're nursing a huge hangover). Take it slowly and allow yourself to get over this one. Life's so unfair sometimes.

Anne, I'm doing fine thanks. 6 days to go, wondering about cheating and testing a day early (I have to use a pee stick so it's up to me).

Caroline
