Caroline-There is nothing good on TV during the week, especially in summer. I tried DVD's and got bored. Dh is going to go to the library for me this afternoon and pick up some books. That should help some.

Lumi-I am feeling fine. Just bored. lol I will go over to the 2ww.

Thanks to everyone,
Hugs, Chrissy

Faith - so sorry to hear your news. I'm not sure from your signature whether you've had treatment before (so apologies if this is a case of grandmother and eggs!) but remember that the way your body reacts to different protocols can affect the eggs and theire quality so don't give up hope yet - maybe your clinic needs to adjust the treatment for next time. I hope you get some supportfrom your clinic and some answers (or at least suggestions). Hugs and best wishes, Cherylx

Happy Sunday to ALL.

Hi

I am new to this site so I hope I am posting this on the right thread.

This is my first attempt of IVF.

I had egg collection last Monday, they collected 21 eggs, 18 of which fertilised. I had embryo transfer last Wednesday and 2 embryos were put back and 12 are being frozen.

I am analysing every little twinge and keep thinking that it is PMT. Is it normal to feel very negative after IVF convincing yourself that it hasn't worked. I keep telling myself that it is too early to get symptoms of PMT or pregnancy at this early stage but I can't get it out of my head. I got a spot come up on my chin yesterday, I know it sounds daft but I felt really down thinking oh my god is this because of Aunt Flo. My stomach is really bloated but it has been like that for about 3 weeks now and also I have to drink 3 litres of water a day due to high amount of eggs collected and risk of OHSS. I have had sore boobs since egg collection but have been told that is due to the progesterone suppositries.

My hospital told me to test 2 weeks after embryo transfer which will be Wednesday 19th July - a friend of mine is at a different hospital and was told she could test 2 weeks after egg collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone else felt like this and still got a BFP.

Welcome!, you are in the right place. In fact, there are two other threads you can join too (July test dates and July 2ww)

Well done for getting so far ....I only found this site on my last 2ww and it is so helpful. Everything you have described is normal feelings and as for symptoms - all is due to the meds of at least could be the meds. It is just impossible to tell until test date!! Las t time I was just like you analysing all the twinges and feelings (this time I have some spotting, but I wont go into that now.....!!!)

Do join the 2ww thread - everyone in the same boat! I shall bring both the theads to the top so you can find us.

Love Lumi xxx

Karron,
You may not realize this but your egg collection was super successful!!!.

My doctor told me he considered an egg collection of 15 to be a great harvest. He usually gets this from young healthy egg donors in their early twenties. You have exceeded this with a huge 21 (18 fertilized) !!!!! I have a very good feeling about your results.
I'm going to hope that both eggs will implant and you'll have a double surprise in a couple of weeks.

I'm new too...welcome!!!.

Katie

Thanks for your words of encouragement. At the moment I feel like I am on one big roller coaster, one minute I feel completely up and the next completely down and thinking I can't be that lucky.

I was also really surprised that so many eggs were collected and fertilised - I am 32 years old and my husband is 33 - I have a scarred left fallopian tube and have been told that the likelihood of conceiving naturally is quite low that is why we opted for IVF. People must think I am mad, as I keep walking around with my fingers crossed.

The Hospital were really pleased with our response and when I had the embryo transfer the top Fertility man (Director of the Unit) came in and helped with the transfer and congratulated us on the excellent response but what I have to keep in my mind is that they still have to attach - I know I am sounding negative but I think sometimes your mind prepares you for the worst but desperately hopes for the best.

Thanks again for your message and I look forward to keeping in touch - I shall keep my fingers crossed for us all.

Karron,
Glad to hear back from you.
Another thing: With such a wonderful response I can't help but think you must have produced a large percentage of nice HEALTHY eggs.
If so your chances of attachment go way UP!!!

I can't wait to learn about your outcome.
I posted a great ticker site for expecting moms: baby-gaga.com
****You may be using one soon (SMILE).
Take a peek.

I wondered what had happened to you. 5 days late - how frustrating! Isn't always the way. You'll get there in the end though. AF has got to turn up soon.

I can understand why you are getting so annoyed - there's always something isn't there. Sending you loads of hugs and PMA and big shouts to AF - hope it arrives very soon and you can move on.

Take care
