Hi Buddies,
You are a wonderful lot! Thank you so much for the messages they mean a great deal. I have been lightly bleeding on and off since last night so I know it is not looking good.

I hope you have cracking numbers this time round. Thank you for telling me your experience though sadly I wont be able to go again. good luck x

Kel,
How is the 2ww going are you staying sane? Thanks for all the support x
Jen,
Well kiddo not long now for you, it is very strange to suddenly have another 3 nights added on to the 2ww! You have done so well to stick with this if there is any justice in the world it will all come good for you I do hope so. Thank you for the kind wordsx

JenF,
Just wanted to pop in and wish you the best of luck!!
Kel,
What day of your wait are you on now? I think it's a good idea to rest for several days then go back to normal (or as normal as possible anyway). I really feel like I screwed up last time by not resting at all. I also exercised (lightly, but still...) on Day 3 after ET. I just couldn't stop myself. Next time, I might have to tell DH to lock the door to my exercise room.
I didn't realize Shark Tale was out on DVD. Will have to rent it! We have Shrek 2 here on DVD to watch tonight. I love all of those animated movies. Fortunately, DH does as well.
Jill,
I was just reading through some of the more recent posts and I'm really sorry to see your news and what you've been going through. It seems like you are being really strong and level headed about it all but I know it has to be very difficult. Take care of yourself.
Hope the rest of you are doing well!

Hi Girls
Kel - its over to you girl........get this thread its first BFP!!
I started bleeding this morning.......bright red nasty af stuff. This is the way it has been for every cycle..........never made it to test day.
I am beginning to see the reality is that this is never going to work for me.....I knew the cycle did not get off to a good start but I am still devistated........I just want this all to end!
I will however be asking why my egg quality is so bad at 29 yrs of age.....
Good luck guys

Hi Staci!
How are you doing?? I am on Day 4 now! I have only ventured downstairs a couple of times, DH has been a star and literally put bowls of fruit and bottles of water in the bedroom so I don't have to leave it!!! Bless!!! Also he managed to pull a homemade veggie spaghetti bolognaise out of the bag last night and he never normally cooks and it was better than mine!!!
I'm just so uncomfortable though, my back is making me move every 10 mins in bed so I really hope I'm not doing any harm? Don't blame yourself for exercising Staci, most clinics say carry on as normal anyway after don't they, it's just one long mind game this bit!
Do you have plans yet for your FET? Are you going for January?
Bye for now!
Kel xx

Jen - I'm so sorry x It's just not fair...
I know it must be really hard right now, I hope you don't give up as it just seems like a lottery sometimes this IVF game.. I hope you get the answers you need to know from this cycle, and I'm always here if you ever need me... Sending you a massive hug x

Hi everybody
Jill - Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Friday must have been a bit of a nightmare. Hope you have managed some rest and relaxation this weekend xxx
JenF - I'm really sorry to hear that you started bleeding today but you never know 100% until you test so just hang on in there xxx
Kel - You are being so good staying in bed even though you don't want to. I'm now on day 10 of my 2ww and although I'm thinking about it all the time I'm trying not to dwell on what the outcome may or may not be because I am petrified of getting my hopes up. What have you got planned to keep yourself occupied for the next week ? xxx
Luv
Kim

Hi everyone,
Thanks for asking how I am doing..usual stimming symptoms, very tired, twinges in my right ovary, bloated and slightly crampy. I find out how my ovaries are doing this wed.
Jen, so sorry to hear this news, but please go for your test anyway. You never know. By the way, what makes you think your eggs are bad? IVF is a bit of a lottery, i sn't it? So much I think is just chance..I've heard of women getting pregnant with some pretty scrappy embryos, you know!
Kel, glad to hear you are resting and taking it easy. Can't hurt, can it? Thinking good thoughts for you and wishing you lots of luck, can't wait till you are there.
Jill, how are you? Let us know how things go today, will you? Am thinkingof you..
Everyone else I've left out-Kim! hello! and Debra, you are very welcome..I think often of you out there in Norway, is it? , you are so present, if you know what I mean..

Hi Buddies,
Not what I was expecting today, my blood count has gone from 46 to 181 so I am pg! I am still very shocked having been told an absolute no on Friday then a slightly pg but probably wont last. It is such terribly early days I don't dare think it will happen but I just feel so grateful to have come this far and we will take each day as it comes. I am very concious of not saying too much I want to concentrate on you lot mors and how you are all doing today
Jen,

Kel,
I admire you for staying put for 4 days...and your DH for helping make that possible! Yes, I'm planning to go ahead in Jan. I'm actually at the point where I'd like to do it sooner. I'm getting very impatient but AF probably won't show up again until the end of Nov. and my clinic won't let me start then as it is too close to the holidays and they basically shut down during most of Dec. I'm just hoping that if my next one falls at the tail end of Dec., they'll let me start then. Otherwise, it will be near the end of Jan. before I can get going
I don't know if you saw my post on the "stay in touch Aug. buddies" thread, but I recently found out my SIL is pregnant. Tough times ahead.
Jen,
I'm really sorry. This whole thing is so frustrating and unfair yet it's not like any of us have more promising options. I hope you are dealing with this ok (or, as okay as possible anyway under the circumstances).
Jill,
Amazing! I know you don't want to get your hopes up too much just yet and that is understandable but at least there does seem to be a bit of hope. When will you go back to have the levels checked again?
Hello and best wishes to everyone else.

Oh Jill I am so pleased for you and I think taking one day at a time is the absolute best attitude to have. I bet you couldn't believe your ears today and you are quite right to feel proud to have come this far it's wonderful !!
I feel very bloated and pre-AF today but I'm at work ( I have a sit down job in an office ) so there are very short periods of time when I actually forget about things. The waiting is a real rollercoaster ride and part of me can't wait to know and part of me is dreading knowing the outcome on Friday ( if AF doesn't arrive before then. )
JenF - Thinking of you today and hoping you are ok. xxx
Kel - Hope you are still behaving yourself and taking things easy. xx
Elizabeth - Good luck for Wednesday let us know how you get on. xxx
Take care everybody
Luv
Kim
