Well, it is 4:30am here, and i can't sleep (apparently i needed a higher dose of valium )... so what is a girl to do?... but get on the forum??!! Thx, ladies for the well-wishes and prayers (!), i really appreciate them, and they have given me strength (tearing up as a write this). I am just hoping that i have a "comeback kid" over there in the petri dish! My RE is straight forward (but nice!) and would have told me if there was no hope at all. having been down this same, tortuous road a few times, though, i am aware the odds are stacked against me (as is he). dh and i talked about what we would do if this is a bust again, and have come up with a plan (helpful for me... calming... as it would take some of the shock out of today if things get worse). I am still firmly buckled in and holding on tight, as the ivf thing is quite a rollercoaster... i am just waiting for the upswing ! SO... back to my motto: 'hope for the best and prepare for the worst!'

thx again, you guys have been great!

[shantala]

sassy - i really really wish that a little fighter is in there! you really deserve to have a strong embie there somewhere because you are always so upbeat and supportive towards everyone else. now its your time and this better work!!!! you said you have a plan if it doesnt (but it will!!) work, did i miss it somewhere?? or do you not want to talk about it until you need it....which you wont!!! come on embies!!!

Shantala: hey girl, i guess it is what, 3pm there? Anyway, if this is a bust again (which, chin firmly up, i am hoping it won't be ), we are first going to go on a IWDGPT (got this from Angie... and "If We Don't Get Pregnant Trip"), as we love to travel. Thinking of coming across the pond your way as dh has been to london, but wants to see the rest of the "islands" over there (I studied in London years ago and did a lot of travels there). So, anyone got an extra bed for us???heeheehee. I am thinking someplace kind of warm (i.e., vietnam, cambodia....but i think i am just dreaming... too expensive!) or where we could scuba dive . Our list of "places we really want to go" is still very long... but the pocket book has shrunk significantly in the last yr! so would (notice i didn't use "will"!) depend on where we could get a deal (we can get london or paris for $180 each!). oooo, such a long response to such a short question . Can you tell i have been thinking about it!??

As for ivf. Would definitely take some time off, and good chance we would stop all together... if this is a bust... then it appears we have produced no chromosomally nl embryos in 3 cycles... may be time to pack it in, but wouldn't make that decision right away. See, i know some people wouldn't want to think about these things until they know for sure... but for me it is helpful. Part of my "prepare for the worst", and makes me calmer, more peaceful and ready to accept whatever the good Lord has in store for us. Fingers crossed, and hoping like he!! that we never get another IWDGPT!

[shantala]

sassy - i definitely think its good to have a plan...and travelling sounds fantastic. we have a spare bed and are only 20 minutes on the train from london! i think if you prepare for the worst thats the best thing! but, that doesnt mean you are giving up hope. i cant explain how much i'm praying for your little ones. oh and by the way, it's 1.30pm here at the moment. **hugs**

I can only thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your well wishes, I have cried at every one of them but I so appreciate it. I don't really know what I am doing, I suppose I'm in a state of shcok. We told our parents yesterday and the estate agents are coming next week to value the house to put it on the market. It's all a bit surreal and I feel like I'm living someone else's life at the moment. I can't eat or sleep I just feel sick. I know I need to try and relax for the fet but I can't help it. I just don't understand why he had to do it now, he should've either waitied a few weeks or not gone ahead with the treatment at all. The prospect of a single mum is daunting but a baby is my dream and I will do it if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant.

Sassynlv - thinking of you

sorry for no more personals head is all over the shop

Thanks again for your support

wishing you all wonderful BFP's

Good day ladies,

Sassy: my second u/s is tomorrow morning, I hope that the med start working.
I had a problem last night with the injection, my husband did it in my leg, but when he took the needle out blood came up. I'm not sure if the medecine went through.... I hope so... I didn't see any med outside only blood.
I just left a message for a nurse to report that and check with her.

Any of u ladies had similar experience?

Hi everyone.

I really need your help.

Went in for transfer this morning at 9am. Update is this...

We had 2 out of 3 eggs fertilise. Yesterday (day 2) one was at 4 cell (which they say is what they like to see) and the other was 2 cell, therefore exactly the same as last time. Today the 4 cell hasn't gone on to divide and the 2 cell has divided overnight and looks to be going on to divide again, so was a slow starter.

I cried in the transfer room. The embryologist said they have no way of knowing whether the 4 cell has stopped there, or whether the 2 cell will carry on dividing, but just to hope, and that chances of pregnancy are reduced with embryos that are slow to divide. However, she said that women have gone on to become pregnant in this situation. I am freaking out. I know they wouldn't do a transfer if they thought there was no chance but I just don't know what to think. I am trying to keep my mind off it but its impossible and to be honest I just don't feel we have a chance.

Please help...I'm so upset.

Hi Lady's
Ems i now this is going to sound just like everything you have heard but i have seen so many BFP's off what where termed poor embryo's they really can go on to amaze you maybe your little ones needed to be home some emby's really dont do well in the dish but can thrive in the womb, i have every faith in your slow starters and will be sending prayers to them....I know they said it was a slow starter but they dont know when it was fertilized so how can they really know it could just be that it was a late fertilization so for the embie its self its right on time....and actually doing really well

Mom thank you ...i just had my first Gonal Jab im on my way come on ovies do your thang....ooo good luck with the jobs that will be great no one can say your not trying

Haylie i really do feel for you i promise you things will get better you ahve all of us thinking about you...hugs

Sassy thinking of you i hope they have some great news for you today...everything crossed

love to all Aunty

[Ems1971]

Oh thanks Aunty. You are such an angel...I just need some encouragement I guess, but its so hard. I just seem to keep cryingtoday, I know its probably from all the drugs and IVF is so emotional. I am trying to stay strong for my embies...

On a more positive note, well done you! I am so glad you get to start now. You have waited so long...

Thanks again
