    Elarwood- I do hope you're wrong & you get a BFP.

    T-hopes- it sure is a drag! Keep talking myself out of going to buy a HPT. Good luck with your cycle! Is this your first?

    & I have heard about the royal jelly but I'm unsure of whether you can have during stims. I had bee pollen in my smoothies and continue to do so.

    Thanks ladies, I'm loosing all confidence and hope. Another POAS 10dp5dt & still very faint if not fainter than yesterday. Have learnt my lesson about POAS :-(

    Munchkin I wouldn't recommend POAS although atleast I pretty much know now & can expect a low beta or BFN on Friday. Ill ask my clinic if I can go earlier so I can stop the awful clexane etc & hopefully go straight into a FET with 2 embryos this time. From what we thought was such a successful cycle having 34 eggs & 6 tested normal, it is really hard to take.

    T-hopes I've taken royal jelly capsules during stims before. They personally didn't help us but you gotta try everything right!

    Thanks ladies for all the thoughts. Have not had a good day. Booked a counselling session for tomorrow & will talk to clinic about doing beta on Thursday as I work Fridays & do not want the news then.

    Munchkin, did the cramps just start? It could be the crinone.. I have a very sore back, sore under my arms & sore breasts/nipples, all of which only started on Sunday after almost 2 weeks on crinone/pessaries.

    What makes it harder is that we know this was a normal embryo. My FS is treating me for immune issues which I've always tested negative for, estrogen & progesterone levels have been perfect the entire time, I know I can get pregnant as our first cycle/transfer gave us DD. What am I missing? The embryo didn't have enough energy to keep going? We must be extremely unlucky if that's the case.

    Thank you for listening, as I said it has been a bad day :-(

    Ellarwood- I'm sorry it's been so tough for you. I think it's good that your talking to a counsellor- someone who is removed from the situation. My dh and I are the only ones who know about our cycle as I didn't want any added pressures, although I know family & friends mean well. Still praying for a miracle for you! Did you get a BFP this early on with your DD? I started crinone 10 days ago and last night during the night the light cramping started and has been on and off today. Hoping it's too early for AF to be arriving anyway 6dp5dt. Take care

    Minnie- Woke up feeling awful. My belly is distended and I have a stitch like feeling in my upper/lower tummy and back. Took the day off so I think I'll give the clinic a call.

    Oh munchkin, I'm so sorry to hear that. What did your clinic day? The uncertainty of the TWW is just horrible. Its harder with no support too, im glad you're on here atleast which ladies who completely understand.

    i'm going for beta tomorrow, tried to get one done at GP but he wouldn't mark it urgent & results not in til tomorrow arvo so was a waste of a time. The counsellor was good, much better than the other lady I used to see. I've pretty much lost all hope this cycle, still praying for a miracle. The test I did today was lighter, but I'm trying not to let that get to me. The counsellor was hopeful, he gave me a study done late last yr with success rates 70-75% with cgh testing.

    Elarwood- Nurse at clinic seems to think it might be mild OHSS and I'm going in tomorrow for a blood test to investigate. She said because I had 10 follicles I was at risk and told me to keep my fluids up. The only good thing I have read is that late onset can be a sign of BFP because the HCG sets it off. Fingers crossed & fingers crossed for your beta tomorrow! X. Dh won't let me POAS before beta grrr

    It does sound like late onset OHSS, which is a good sign. That's what happened with my DD's cycle & I only had 10 eggs but lots of follicles. Lots of fluid, powerade, protein including sustagen helps. Stay strong & don't POAS, I kinda wish I hadn't as I know I had some Hcg there for a while but seems to be disappearing.

    Had blood test at 7.30am results should be ready in next half an hr. not doing too well & holding out just a tiny but of hope that I am wrong.

    Hcg of 54 which of course is lower than it should be. I knew it. Repeat test on Saturday but I don't think it's looking good. Ideas why a CGH embryo would be a chemical? Joe I remember reading your tested embryo was a chemical.. Devastating :-(

    Elarwood- so sorry to hear :-( I don't know much about HCG levels but it sounds like you do. What did the clinic say? I know there's probably nothing we can say to make you feel better but if it's any consolation your definitely not the only one!! Heartbreaking. Hoping your HCG miraculously comes up. They took mine today at clinic but not sure i want to know, not sure how I'll take a negative.

    Elarwood: how awful to be in limbo, it's the worst not knowing. Hoping your hpt will darken in these next few days and you have a late implanter

    Munchkin: will you get your blood test results today ? Fingers crossed for you !
