Hi everybody
Had my egg collection yesterday -10 eggs removed.
Afterwards I woke up crying and apparently I had been moving around in pain even though I was under heavy sedation when they were trying to work on my left ovary. So like I was told I was kept in overnight on Pethadine injections to try and ease the pain. At least this time I was given Pethadine immediately and transferred to Maternity within one hour.
Allowed home at dinnertime today although I have to rest. Wasn't allowed to eat anything yesterday because I was feeling very sick so I am going to have some soup this evening as I haven't eaten in over 48 hours. I am still in a lot of pain but very glad to be home.
The good news is that the embryologist telephoned my husband this morning and said that 9 /10 eggs had fertilised. I am really pleased with this although the fact I only got 2 poor quality embryos out of 10 fertilised last time is worrying me a bit. Embryo transfer is 11.30am on Monday. I will be glad when they are snuggled up in my tummy!!!
Hope everybody is ok today, I haven't read through too many posts as I am still out of it so will catch up tomorrow.

Hi Buddies.. 
Well, it seems to have gone the same way as last time for us.. I am absolutely devasted, just can't stop crying or begin to get my head around it.. Everything went so well all along the way, and I think that is making it so much harder for me to accept, at least with our first cycle everything was a bit hit+miss and I so looked forward to my second go when there would be so many changes.. I started to get a bit snappy on Wednesday and just thought the worst, and then on Thursday me and DH went into the city for lunch and I just a got a feeling it was all going wrong and could tell af was on the way, so I spent all day Friday in bed hoping that it was just me overdoing it, but in the evening I started bleeding and it's carried on since then.. I have been through the hope and wonder if it's implantation etc but to be honest even though it's not proper af, it started on day 9 exactly like last time, so now I just think I'm never going to get past this horrible day in my 2ww... Just feel so gutted and angry and scared that it's not going to happen.. I'm so pleased that we have got some frozen embryos but I am absolutely terrifed that the same thing is going to happen.. I just wish we could fast-forward this part as I don't know how to get over this right now.. I just want to have my FET soon..
I'm so sorry for the me post.. You guys have been such an amazing support to me, you are all stars. Jen I am so praying that everything is ok for you xx Kim I hope you got a diff result to me x
Jackie - Lots of luck for ET and Elizabeth good luck for EC..
Jill I hope you are still doing great, Debra, thank you so much for all your support and being there for me - I'm thinking of you all..x

Oh Kel,
I have been constantly looking to here any news from you. Life is just so unfair, I am so terribly sorry. You have been a huge support to me and all the girls here and along with jen have been such great buddies to me. I don't know how you pick yourself up as you say you had such a great cycle which must be compouding your distress. I guess one good point is you have your frozen embies so wouldn't need to do a full cycle. You do not need to apologise for one second for your post we are here to support you now more than ever. I have no advice to give other than cry as long as you need to, don't bottle it up and then when you feel a little stronger plan something like a short break. I know this is last thing on your mind right now but I have found planning a trip helps. Take good care Kel and all my best wishes go to you and your DH Love Jill xxxx

Hello everyone
Sorry I haven't posted sooner but I just needed a couple of days to think, let things sink in and try to persuade myself that it really was good news -I'm really sorry if you've been concerned.
On Friday I tested using the HCG kit provided by the hospital. To start off with only one line came up and I assumed it was negative so didn't look at the clock to time any change in the result. After a while DF said he thought he could see another very faint line appear and although the line appeared within 10 minutes we were supposed to read the results at 4 minutes so I just wasn't sure.
I also needed more pessaries if it was a positive cos I only had 3 left. So I went to a local GP and sat down and cried and cried. She was lovely she prescribed more pessaries ( cos I thought the test might have been positive ) and asked me for a urine sample to send off to the lab.
I then decided to buy a clear blue test anyway and when I did the test when I got home it was definately positive !!!!!
At the moment I daren't get too excited as it's early days so Jill I know exactly how you feel and I'm also going to take one day at a time.
Kel - I'm really sorry things aren't turning out the way you hoped but those little frosties are there and waiting and I will keep on hoping that things will be different for you next time.
Jackie - Try not to worry about your ET too much. I only had 2 good grade embies out of 7 which fertilised and as we all know it only takes one !!!
Elizabeth - Good luck for Tuesday - I'll be thinking of you.
Jen - Just to let you know I'm thinking of you.
Luv to everyone
Kim

Hi Kim,
well things are looking ok so far, can you go and get a blood test done? as these results Hcg would be conclusive. I really hope things progress from here, keep resting. remember my hospital urine test came back as negative, it was only the blood test that showed a weak positive. Take care Love Jill x

Kel,
I honestly don't know what to say. I really hoped this would be your time. I'm so sorry. There is nothing more frustrating than having the cycle go perfectly then have it fail. Just try to focus on your frosties and stay hopeful. Plenty of people, including the nurses at my clinic, have told me that, for some women, the only way they can get pregnant are actually through the FET's....maybe because the whole thing is easier on one's body.
Thinking of you and hoping you are ok.
Hugs,
Staci

Kel, have sent a PM but just wanted to say how sorry I am that things look so negative right now. Will you still test? You know nothing is certain until you have definite results. If you're anything like me, you'll also want to know 100% for sure before deciding 'what next'.
If you can accept that things aren't fair and no one ever said they would be, it might help just a tiny bit. We just have to keep going, taking support from partners, understanding friends and family and of course, the board. We do understand how painful and awful it all feels.
love
Debra.

Hiya,
Debra, thanks again for your message..
Jill - You are so thoughtful! Well I don't totally know what's going on although I'm still pretty sure it's not worked, but I spoke to my Nurse this morning and she wants me to keep taking the pessaries for now as af is so light and still not a proper af at all since I started bleeding on Friday. It's annoying really because I don't want any false hope, and if it is all over I would like to get the ball rolling for our fet! She has also asked me to rest for the next 48 hours and if still the same to still test on Wednesday.. The only thing that is a bit weird is that last time I got a -tive, af was there within 1-2days so this just seems a bit strange.. Just got to see what happens by tomorrow really..
Anyway how are you doing?? Hope everything is going great for you!
Jen - Really hope you're doing ok, thinking about you..
Kel xx

Staci - Thank you too for your message, it made me feel positive towards the fet and I am so glad to get another chance of it working without the whole procedure and saves money for once! How are you doing? Hope everythings going ok? Don't suppose you have any dates yet? Will be checking up on you! Thanks for being there for me..
