Kathryn ... I've strarted a new thread for your result. As I said on that you must have a positive as you haven't had af yet.
I am still feeling pretty low and gutted but I suppose it has only been 3 days. I am really angry with the clinic/consultant. I want to start a fet straight away and the bloody consultant wont see me for 6 weeks. And I can't start the cycle until we see the consultant. This means it will be over 3 months until the start of another cycle.
I asked why it has to be 6 weeks (we did and are paying privately) and apparently its because he has seen couples before 6 weeks and they cry in the appointment and he doesn'yt like people crying. Have you heard anything so stupid in all your life.
Am on a mission now to change his policy .. he can't just have a blanket policy like that ... we are individuals and should be treated as such. I now I might be transferring my anger on to him a bit but heh, I'm allowed because I am a hormonal upset woman!!! He better beware, because the way I'm feeling i'm going to camp outside his consultancy rooms until he sees me.
(I hope he never looks at this site ...)
Anyway ... i am ranting.

FCB's new thread
Hey all,
Thanks for your positive messages of support, I love this web site!
Jane, That's a bloody disgrace!!!..How heartless is this prick?, he sounds like a complete loser. The emotional support is such a fundamental part of his role (and everyone else's associated with the IVF team). Good on you for tackling this head on, hell hath no furry like a woman told she has to wait for what is her basic right to access health care!
Kathryn, Am very keen to hear your news!!!, please take us out of our misery!
ReganKate, that's a great number, what day post transfer was that?
Miracle, thanks for your optimism and ongoing support. I've been through the miscarriage like you, I know it sucks completely, I think you're truly amazing to be so supportive and positive. Can't wait to hear of your future success ( will come VERY soon)!
BecknCraig - Good luck for your scan, is a difficult time hey?, everything will be fine, who know's, there might be two in there???
Debra-Thanks for your support again, you've been a star..John is really pleased (with himself I think!), its our wedding anniversary today as well, what a celebration!
To all else, lots of PMA and extra sprinklings of baby dust

Hi FCBS,
Jane, just read your post,,sorry you feel pissed off and rightly so....
your consultant sounds in need of compassion training!!
WHat I would say though, you probably wont want to hear.....is that after a full IVF ycle you usually get AF a couple of days after stopping pessaries....this is not a proper AF and it is best to wait until after your next AF which is a proper one.........before you think about going again...
I too wanted to do FET straigt away and I did not even hav ET cos of OHSS........( I had tmt in May and started FET in AUG)
Try and think about it logically....your body is still full of drugs and needs to settle down to prepare itself for next go.......
AT the end of the day its up to you and if you want to start straight away you go for it girl!!!
I had _ve FET in Sept and have been so frustrated....6 mths later have finally got going again............
Keep your chin up JAne and use this time to rest your body and get yourself nice and healthy

Hi girls,
BelB - Well done on your positve. I have posted on yr seperate thread.
Jane - Sorry you got a negative this time. I suppose the Clinic just want to give you time to heal before you get back onto the rollercoaster but I am pleased you are so keen to get going again. Best of luck for FET next time.
Sand/Angelina - Good luck on the 2WW. Its very hard but you do get to the end eventually. I only have one day to go but that will seem like ages as well.
Kathryn - Hoping you got a positve from your test. cant wait to see your results.
While I test tomorrow I think it may be all over already. I have started spotting a bit over the last 24 hrs. The spotting is brownish rather than red which I dont think is good and got af type pains as well. Will still test tomorrow but may be no point.
Love to everyone and apologies if I have missed anyone.
Love Allison

Hi, I'm a bit all over the place and VERY uncertain as to where we stand. My levels, as at yesterday - Day ET + 19 - were 3000. They can't explain the bleeding other than to say that they had a client recently who bled very heavily for over a month and still went on to have healthy twins.
I'm back there before work tomorrow for another blood test, results on Thursday. Another few days of trying not to think about it. Both DF (Sarah, I use this for Darling Fiance but as he's called Finn, I mentally use his name) and I are holding a negative stance until we're told otherwise. We can't stand the peaks and troughs.
Hoping everyone is well
love
Debra.

Debra,
3000 sounds bloody fabulous to me!
Agreed, take each day at a time and what will be will be.
Hf is Finn hey?, well as a response to his awful aussie accent jokes, wonder if you could mention that there was once a character on "Home and Away" named Finn, the running jokes was that she was named Finn, 'cause she wasn't fat!!!! (ha ha ha!!!)
take it easy my friend, keen to hear your news

Your consultant does sound like an arse especially using the crying reason, he could at least see you to discuss things.
I think you shouldn't rush into another cycle, I did that last time and ended up in a state, we had a negative in November then did another cycle in February and my head was all over the place. I'm booked in for a fet in August. I felt two full cycles back to back was a bit too much for me, I tend to get caught up in losing control over my life, which probably sounds silly, but as much as I want a baby I can't bear for the treatments to be the thing that dictates my life. Everyone is different though and I can understand why you want to do it again as soon as possible.
It's early yet though, but I think you are right to challenge your consultant about seeing you as you need answers to all your questions rather than just another appointment for a new cycle.
Lots of Love
Wendy

ALISON,
Good Luck for your test today. Will be checking all day. Will start another post for you, so you can tell us all the PFP news.
From Sophie-Jane
Angelina and Sand - hope you two are doing well. Do make the most of it, as i wish I was back on the 2ww now as at least i felt a bit pregnant. I know that sounds a bit daft and actually sounds like i'm a nut case. I'm not you know i am a respectable professional (well ... nearly!!!)

Sophie-Jane, can I just wonder when you're 32? your signature seems to have said 31+11 for rather a long time
I was going to write a signature but realised I'd want to change it everyday! I'm currenly 39.11 + 3 weeks....I'm staring at 40 which lurks next week. I've been very cavelier about it but it's still there....not helped that DF is so bloody young
babies and all other lovely things to all of us,
love
Debra.

Hi All
Allison - im so sorry to hear your news, life's just not fair.
Jane - thanks, i know what you mean about being 'a bit pregnant', its just so scary though, such a wierd time. Ive go 7 days left and dont really know what to think or feel. Im trying to ignore any signs or symptoms i think i 'may' have, they can drive you crazy. Im quiet lucky that ive been off work for the last few days so have done lunch with my friend , read my book, pottered around the house, done some shopping etc. However my head is dtill a complete shed so dont know how i'll cope with work as i cant seem to remember anything at the minute. Oh dear I feel a few errors/minor disasters coming on at work!!! Just as well my boss knows why (she's also a good friend)!!! Re your comments on socks on or off - i found that really funny - i leave mine on - always nice black ankle socks and like you i applied fake tan - even to my thighs for the ec!!! How sad! I think i was just feeling so frumpy and unattractive but im sure it made me feel better!!
Have you spoken to your clinic about when you can try again. My clinic have told me I can start on my period after the next one (if i have one!). I too had blocked tubes (well on was blocked, the other not but bound by adhesions). I had an operation to unblock and remove adhesions as i had alot of pain.
Good luck to Sand for next week and everyone else.
Love A
