Kuion - so sorry to hear about your BFN. I know how you must be feeling right now, but you made the right decision to come and join the boards as there is an amazing group of women on all these threads who will help you through. You asked about the FET process - I think it varies a lot from clinic to clinic, but at mine they down-regulate you for 3 weeks or so (a lot of the US clinics use BCP's instead) then when your system is suppressed, you take estrogen tablets to build up your lining for about 2 weeks, then when the lining is thick enough they thaw the embryos and do the transfer. So the process is quicker and much less invasive than a fresh cycle. I saw that you have 3 frosties - when do you think you will do a FET cycle?
vicky - still thinking of you, sweetie. (((((hugs)))))
TrueBeliever - wow, another great beta. Can't wait to hear the result of your scan on Thursday!
wickedwheel - great to hear your little fighter is doing well and that you saw the heartbeat. How amazing. Roll on 12 weeks...
hopeful - so happy for you!
Michele - you've been very quiet, how are things going on Lupron? I'm praying for you that you don't get any more delays...
marymeganB - best of luck with beta today, will be waiting to hear the news!
julie nurse - how are you holding up in your 2ww?
AFM, DH and I are starting to come to terms with what happened. It's not so much that I took the drugs for 6 weeks and had scans/blood tests, all for nothing, it's the thought that our two embies actually 'died' during or after the thaw. I could have handled being cancelled because my body wasn't ready (although that would have been so disappointing) because at least my frosties would still have been there waiting for me. The clinic told me that they have an overall 60% success rate for thawing frosties so that also makes me worry that there is a quality issue with our eggs/sperm that we didn't know about - on those statistics we should have got at least one embryo to transfer and I've never read on the boards of anyone being cancelled because all their embryos failed to thaw.
Plus I'm still mad that the earliest they can see us to talk through what happened is still 6 weeks away. Ah well, nothing we can do about that so I guess we need to try and relax until then. Easier said than done though, although a few glasses of wine over the weekend (forbidden before then!) and talking about booking a short break away has helped a bit. I think the name of the game for the next 6 weeks is going to be to keep distracted!
