Anna,

I am so very sorry. I know that you will need time. M/c can be very confusing and heartbreaking. I have been through the loss of 6 little angels and I know that they could not stay. Even knowing this, it was really hard gotting through it. Lean on DH for the support because he needs your support too.

Sending all my love to both of you.

Anna,

I am so sorry for your devestating loss. I wish there was something I could say to ease the pain but I know there is not. Just know that we are all thinking about you and praying for you and your DH.

Anna,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been through it before and it is so hard! My M/C (after IVF) was one of the hardest times in my life. Take time to grieve and don't think about making any decisions about trying again right now. Time really does help heal.

Haylie, Malinka, Charity - How you are you guys doing? You are in my thoughts. It's so great to see so much good news on the board, but I'm sure you guys are still struggling with the reality of your own situation. I have been doing pretty well, but I broke down in tears again last night. I am going to meet with a new RE next week to get a second opinion. He comes recommended by my current RE and one of my best friends. I thought I would not be able to think about doing it again, but now I am just so desperate to make it happen. I'm not sure of timing as I have a small cyst right now.... so I may have to wait until Jan to start up as the lab is closed for the latter part of Dec. I hope that you guys are doing well and that you haven't lost hope. Thinking of you and sending warm wishes! Let me know what and how you guys are doing.

Congratultions to all the BFP girls! I am so happy for you and wish you a wonderful pregnancy and most of all a healthy baby.

Anna & Jenn,

My heart is breaking for you right now!! I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Anna, I had the same happen to me my last IVF round and it was devestating. You're lifted so high only to fall so far. There are no words that can make it any better but know that time does help. I hope that you will have the strength to try again, I know I'm glad I did!

Jenn, hang in there. This is the worst news, I'm praying for you to get through this.

Lori, I'm so glad you want to try again. You have been through so much! Stay positive and know we are all praying for you.

I hope everyone else is doing good. Next week we hope to see all BFPs!!!

JENN-I am so sorry. I have been thinking about you today and logged on just to see if you had any results. You and your DH are in my thoughts and I wish you both the very best.

Anna-I am so sorry for your loss. You and your DH are also in my thoughts. I am truly sorry that you have to go through this.

I am so glad that the rest of you BFPers have had increasing HCG levels. I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of your first scans.

I am doing ok-just waiting for Monday. I have one HPT which I almost caved and used today but I didn't. I think I might use it tomorrow morning. I know that I won't have my true answer until Monday but I want to know something! DH really doesn't want me to do it though. We'll see. Yikes-I want to join you BFPers so badly but I am still cramping on and off and I am feeling a bit like AF is on her way. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Aimee, Congratulation!! I am very happy for you and your DH. Wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy. The remaining 8 months will be much easier than the past 1 month.

Anna, Jenn, I am so sorry for you. Am feeling really bad to for this after you have been through so much. Keeping you in my thought, time with ease things off.

JenJ, wish you BFP for the testing tomorrow!!! :)

Hi ladies, I have been off for 2 days ... was not feeling well ... extremly tired (slept so much yesterday), and the bloating tummy started to kick-in again after just a 2 days of easing. Even though I have bloated tummy, I have been losing weight ... have lost 2 lbs this week. Not sure if this is good news or bad news. My appetite is driving me crazy too ... sometimes I felt like swallowing the whole cow (I finished half of a regular pizza in less than 5 minutes ... and I was always considered a SLOW eater), and sometimes not feel like eating at all (can't really put anything in my mouth). ??? :(

Very happy to see all the BFPers this week, hope the next week is going to be all BFPs!!! :P

Good luck to you all!!

Hi ladies,

Sorry I'm such a bad poster....I do come on each day to read and check how you are all doing, but there are so many girls on this thread, I struggle to keep up! I shall make more of an effort.

To Jen and Anna, I am so sorry for your bad news. There's not a lot to say but you are in my thoughts.

To all the girls who have got their BFP's - I am envious and excited for you. Keep your angels warm and snug and enjoy the next 9 months!

To those who are sharing my agony on the 2ww - One day at a time. Thanks for knowing exactly what I am going through.

I am completely recovered from the EC/ET which worries me a little. I have no pain, headaches or nausea. My Embies where fertilised 7 days ago and according to my books, implantation should have happened by now. I am worried for them.

Yesterday I had some very strange feelings which I was hoping some of you may shed some light on. I suddenly got this tingling in my hands and feet (like pins and needles, but burning). It lasted about 20 minutes. Then my hands started to shake uncontrollably. This lasted 30 mins and went when I had a gatorade drink. It came on again about 2 hours later and then I have had nothing since. Is this the after effects of the ET, the progesterone or am I just going crazy?

Thanks for being here,
Em

Anna and Jenn - I am so sorry. It is heartbreaking I know. Take time out and look after yourselves.

Em - Sorry I can't help you, never had the tingling hands thing myself. Shouldn't you ring the doctor in case it is a side effect of the progesterone?

Everyone else...... good luck. This 2WW is really getting to me. Keep saying to DH I am sure it hasn't worked. I am trying to mentally prepare myself. Who knows... Friday will tell I guess. Hang on in there ladies

Much baby dust to you all

Hey everyone, I had my ET yesterday and recieved some difficult news. Apparently 10 of my 12 embies stopped growing. We had two good embies that we transfered however it does not look like we will have any to freeze. So we are praying that the two we transfered are strong and healthy. The RE did say that this is common in women with PCOS and he believes I have PCOS. I am on bed rest right now so thank goodness for my lap top computer from work. Will check in again later.
