Hello there

Nims - I'm sorry it didn't work hun, it's bloody horrid. I was hoping that like my mom you're were just one of those women who had a normal af regardless. She had 2 normal cycles with me and didn't know she was pg until she thought, ok this can't be stress. And with my sis she missed a cycle as well which she never does, and knew straight away she was pg. I was just hoping that'd be it for you guys.

Take care of each other, and enjoy not being in the same 4 walls. Going away for the weekend always made hubby and I feel like we could breath in crisis moments, without familuar things around like stims bags and stuff to remind you, you can think better.

Nic - once again, so sotty to hear your news and I hope the drip will do the trick to get you to a safer E2 level. Try to relax and not get tense as your tummy might hurt when your muscles tense.

Amanda - Fantastic news hun, hopefully I'll be behind you shortly

Melly - Nice sizes you have there, won't be long now.

Anie - That's great news, can't believe you have to wait so long though, can't wait to hear your news .

I tried posting yesterday but the PC closed everything down and restarted just as I was submitting , I was so cheesed off I went to bed and watched a DVD. I only got out of bed for half an hour to chat to you guys(hubby's orders). So first time back on here today.

Everything went well , and thanks for asking. Unfortunately we don't think we have any frozen embries, ans we were hoping to hear back about this particular one embryo, but didn't get a call so I might ring in the morning, I think that was another grade 2 or 3 but I'm sure they'd have called....we weren't expecting it to survive .

We had 2 embries put back anyway, and my lining was 12.7 which is nice . The 2 celled grade 2 had done well and grew to a 5 celled grade 2, and the 4 celled grade 2, was a 7 celled grade 2 by Monday. The 2 celled grade 4 didn't survive by Sunday and we'd already said goodbye to the other little one; and then on Monday morning when we had the review at the hospital with the head embryoloist, she said the other 2 embries weren't so good as they both had fragmented and didn't grow bigger in size or struggled to. So we lost those little ones as well. It's possible that we didn't have any to freeze if our last one isn't a good report tomorrow.

But I'm well, still a little bloated from my IBS that went on overdrive as I didn't really eat much for 2 days, and having the runs from the progesterone. Sorry not nice I know, but I've only started to act right since today. I'm taking the prog vaginally instead of the other way now. And as for my boobs they tend to really hurt when I Ov, so as my body thought I'd Ov, having extra hormones in me from the trigger last week they hurt like hell lol all that week. I'm never affected with boob pain by progesterone, and at the moment it's only of they get brushed they'll feel tingly but no pain so it's more comfortable to sleep now.

Like Sonya, I have been doing hpt's, so I know the trigger's nearly out of me now yippee. It's just something I've always done in Injectable cycles where I've used a trigger, so I'll know it's definately my own hcg when I test and hopefully get a pos. I've had 5 m/c's and for 4 of them we didn't even know I was pg, and everytime my body says suprise you're not on a Anoc cycle, but pg cycle I've lost it with another 'suprise', mucus pg plug falling in the loo or having a massive bleed out without warning. So I'd rather see the hcg leaving my body and see a proper Pos hpt and then get a shock and wait, cause we'll automatically feel like it's a bad owmen again if that makes sence, and it's crap when you find out like that when you've been ttc for so long.

It was just a fiant line yesterday, like when you know your gonna get a dark OPK line in 4 days time. The store down the road had hpt's on half price for a 2 pack, so we couldn't resist not buying 2 when we were there doing our shopping tonight. I said to hubby, you think we should (I already have 2) and he said, we'd be stupid not to lol...so happy he said that as now I have 2 brands to work with. Our test date is the 23rd, but I'll be testing on Monday or Wednesday next week as AF is normally due around the Friday. I have a 13 day LP each cycle or 15 if I've had a late Ov or a 17LP if on Progesterone.

I'm hoping by Mon or Wed I should have a light Pos, like the one and only time I knew I was pg before loosing it. So wish us luck, cause we need it big time.

Love and to all

We've named them She-Ra and He Man as they're little fighters lol.

[MarciaL-OurHope4Baby]

PS. Mrs. B how did your scan go?

Hope it was a lovely one .

[smattison]

Thank Sonya....I had a 3 day so if I count 2 more days then 5 that should be about Thursday for me...maybe Friday...thank goodness they are testing me early...Saturday can not come early enough!!! I took a HPT today and got a BFN so I know the hcg shot is out of my system. I am addicted and I will be testing everyday...LOL I can not wait...I know it is positive. I feel pregnant!!!! Slightly sore boobs, fatigue..(that is an understatement) and I am cramping liking like AF w/back ache...not to mention I look 3 months prego already, I better grow into this belly. I know AF is not coming I am take progesterone.

I hope everyone is great!!! Good luck everyone!

[melly]

Sonya- I know it has been a while, I had a very busy week. Thanks for cheering me on, hopefully I will be sitting there on the sofa demanding a bit of everything from DH.

Marcia- Not long at all, it seems this cycle has just flown by. Not many days before I get a BFP....

Am wishing all you ladies the very best of luck!

[Mrs B]

Hi ladies Firstly nerms and nimble my thoughts are wish you and DH please look after each other.
sonya, mama and miss piggy im so happy for you all i really am.
I hope everyone else is doing well.
We had our scan yasterday and we have one healthy baby the other sac is stil there but is small and empty. The baby is 0.86mm so tiny the nurse was trying to show me arms and legs starting to form but i couldn't make them out only the head, its so weird i thought it would sink in after the scan!! We go back in 2 weeks for another scan i will be 9 weeks and then if all is god im off to my normal doctor. My M/S has really kicked in over the last 5 days im not being sick just feel like it and i know i wouldn't be showing already but i look like i am ( im a size and my tummy is sticking out from my hip bones i can't fit into my bottoms i have been living in my jogging bottoms.

Afternoon ladies,

Jill – any news yet honey??? Praying for your BFP.

Nick – I so hope your feeling better soon, how was your IV, hope they treated you well in hospital today. Thinking of you sweetie.

Marica – welcome to the horrid 2ww, so your going to test each day as well, I take my hat off to you I just couldn’t do it, so hope you get that BFP soon. Praying for you babe. BTW Babies look sooooo cute.

Q – how are the bed jackets coming on??? Thinking of starting to make some bed socks to match. What u think??

Holly- good luck for the real BFP tomorrow. So happy for you mate.

Anie – How’s the 2ww treating you hun??? Hope your holding out ok.

Stephanie – how you doing honey, so your another POAS addict, praying that you see that BFP very soon.

Melly – good luck with the ER. Hope you get lots of lovely little embies.


Mrs B – wooooo hooooooo 7 weeks Pg, bet it was so moving seeing your little one, wishing you all the best honey.

Rae – how you doing honey???? Still rubbing that growing bump, can’t wait to see some pic’s.

Nimble – your still in my thoughts honey, I really hope you and DH are ok. We always here If you need anything.

Well as for me,, not much going on, its taking all the will power I have not to test, DH keeps reminding me that I have gone this long I should go all the way now, bloody men they just don’t understand do they??? I'm so dying to do a HPT but will feel so guilty if I do it behind DH back…. Oh well looks as if it’s a few more days for me.

Love to all, thinking of you.

[Quita]

Best of luck Melly with your EC x

Nicola, that is the most terrible news. Rest up and I hope you feel better soon. Big hugs xxxxxxxxxxx

Jill, Have to confess I have done most of that myself - then doppy fertile friends say "just relax". Like to see them relax in our shoes! I'm sure infertility sends normal women crackers and that a fact. Still i'm pg now so maybe all the crazy stuff works! Gonna tell the embryo's tonight about the pony's. Hope things have gone well for you today.x

Love to All, Quita xxx

[nimble]

Hello girls - I'm back and rearing to go for round 3!!

Thank you for your words of support, it really means alot to me. I spoke to the clinic yesterday and they asked me to continue with doing the test this morning and it was def a negative which was no big surprise. However they have confirmed that I can start again on my next cycle which is around May time and that it will be on the NHS this time. So the timing of receiving that letter on Saturday couldn't have come at a better time. I see it as some sort of sign

The bleeding has almost stopped which is strange but the last 3 days have been pretty intense.

Nicky - I am so sorry to hear about your cancelled cycle - I can't imagine what you are going through at the moment, to not actually get to EC/ET must be heartbreaking for you. What happens now? do you just stop the meds? I guess you must be in hospital now - take care and thinking of you. Big hugs xxx

Mrs B - hey your first scan - so glad it went well- it must be such a relief after the last few weeks.

Sha - I know how you feel regarding the hpt's - if it wasnt for the bleeding I wouldn't have done one early either - hold in there - not long to go and have everything crossed for you.

Hey was down your way today - did wave in the portsmouth direction We went to Brighton yesterday and stayed and then today drove up the coast to West Wittering, tried to convince hubby to go to Portsmouth to the shopping outlet but my pleas fell on deaf ears

Jill - good luck with your testing today - it sounds very positive - I'm hoping at least one of us gets lucky today xx

Mama - NHS is our National Health System - every woman is entitled to one free go of IVF but each area has different rules and criteria for accepting which isn't necessary very fair as some of the girls here will tell you. Its not the same as yr Insurance - we can have private medical care but thats our own choice but it doesn't cover infertility.

Anyway congrats on the BFP really pleased for you.

Melly - good luck with yr EC.

Nerms - thank you for your message - we have been enjoying our time together and yes sometimes we are sad, but we are also very thankful that we have each other to give us the strenght to move on.

How are you ? Hope your DH is still taking good care of you - they are darlings aren't they, mine is being fantastic although I know deep down he is hurting. Take care xx

Good luck to the 2ww girls - not long now

Nims xx

Nimbs: Sorry that it did not work this time but next time it will! We are here for you! XOXO

Marcia: Congrats on bring the lil ones home. I hope your POAS addiction will pay off with a BFP

Steph: I know only 3 more sleeps! It just has to be a BFP. Keep in mind the HPT could be really really faint since you are testing so early so look at it under a really bright light. Have you checked out this website?
peeonastick.com? It is really cute and informative. Take Care

Mrs B. Awww it will sink in very soon. How exciting your first U/S congrats. Did your dh go? What did he think?

Kia: You are my HPT hero. There is no way I could wait. I am soo weak! The test is just around the corner! I cant wait!

Jill: Cant wait to hear your BFP!

XOXO
Sonya

[jstrandlund]

Well the nurse just called and its a BFN for me. She was not able to give me an information other than that because my doc is out for the week. Surprisingly I am doing okay after a couple hours of talking with my dh. I swear he is he best dh ever, so supportive and loving. He is taking me out for dinner and drinks to try and ease my heavy heart. I think we have decided to take the summer off from IVF. I will probably continue acu and may try some herbal treatments for awhile.
I pray that those of you awaiting results get the BFP you are waiting for, you all deserve it greatly.
Thank you all for your support and this does not mean I am going away. I want to celebrate with you all when your BFP' come!!

[sokru8]

I am sooo sorry Jill. My heart goes out to you and your dh. Let him take you out and pamper you. We are here for you sweetie.

XOXO
Sonya

Love to all, thinking of you.

Hi there hun, and thanks.

I won't be POAS each day, as I was saying yesterday for how light it was yesterday I know how Pregny lasts in me and it'll be fully gone by Friday. So then I'll test for real either Monday or Wednesday as I'll be at the end of my LP then because that's how my cycles run. I have an LP of 13-15 days, 17 if on Progesterone, so by then I should get a light or a bit darker hpt if I'm pg.

So that's what we're hoping for. I started testing 3dptr CD26 so I knew how much was in me the day before transfer day before. Then I did another one on CD27, CD28 and yesterday I knew it was nearly gone so I don't need to test again till next week, it's what I normally do when I get trigger shots. It's normally out of my system 6-7 days after. My last Pg I had a Pos at 10dpo, so compared to this cycle that should be around on Monday . Would be great to see more BFP's on here, but maybe your hubby will cave and want to know, good luck for test day .
