Hi all

Just thought I'd check in - even though I have got nothing much to report

Hope you are all well!

How are you going Melissa? Has the reality sunk in yet?? Have you done any more pee sticks? I really am so happy for you! Remind me when your HCG test is.....

Surviving Saff? Or have you gone a little nuts yet? Lol. When is your HCG date?

M - hope your stimming is going well. Looking forward go hearing how many follies you have on your first scan

Afm- like i said, nothing to say really. I am 11dp2dt. I havent tested again. I don't see the point really. No symptoms whatsoever. Boobs are normal, not tired, no nausea, appetite normal. That cramp I talked about yesterday never really "broke" and was gone within an hour of me posting. Nada since.

No PMS symptoms either. Apart from the good old fluid retention in the legs. My period is due on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if it's on time...

Anyhoo, that's it for me for now.

Take care x

[Saffy]

hey N2l- I'm 3dp5dt ( so 8 dpo), nothing much to report here either, I may have had some really mild cramps yesterday and today but I think i had a few cramps prior to my transfer and also straight after my transfer, so not letting my imagination get away from me. trying to keep busy. I feel quite tired today but I think I am just tired, nothing else.
Hopefully NO AF for you on Turesday, hey hang on thats only a day away, so you usually have spotting first?? I hope she never appears!! I wouldn't test again if I were you, the only real test is the BT anyway and poas are expensive.
Saying that i am thinking of testing this cycle, maybe 11DPO?? I know its stupid, but i want a heads up on a bfn so I can plan for next cycle.

Melissa- I'm sure your BT is tomorrow?? GOOD LUCK if it is- heres to high HCG numbers xx

Maruschke-hows the ovaries going? Hope you're not too uncomfortable but if you are its a great sign!

[nothing2lose]

Hey hang on Saff!!! You told me that 11dpo was too early!!!

It's too tempting isn't it!

Eta: nah, not a spotter...

[Saffy]

hahahaha, yes it is I know but for some reason i'm desperate to poas this time, All I meant was 11dpo was too early to make a definitive statement about being 'out' of the tww, cos a bfn at 11dpo can still turn into a bfp a few days later. Its really just because i have been stocking up with HPTs and I want to make sure i use them lol.

[nothing2lose]

Yeah, right.....

[Saffy]

ummmm.....ok, whats another excuse.....yeah I haven't got one.....lol
I was even thinking about doing one today, lame I know but I'm itching to poas for some reason

[*beannaithe*]

Just a quickie but hcg 11dp3dt was 300 so more blood on Friday and a scan in 3 weeks. Oh My God!!!

300


That's great!!!


Woo hoo!!

[Maruschke]

300 is awesome! Maybe your lucky last cycle is giving you two? FX for you and all the sticky vibes in the world.

[nothing2lose]

Oh yeah, tested this morning....BFN. I am definitely out.

Ahhhh well, busily stuffing myself with protein and supplements in the hope it will help next time.

Hope everyone else is well x

I don't know why, but you are the BB poster I stalk most and think of most, and everytime you get a BFN I hurt for you so much. So so so sorry N2L . Big hugs and know I am always thinking of you and hoping for a miracle.

[nothing2lose]

Well, thanks for making me cry M!!! lol... I was fine til I read your post

It's okay. Faith and prayers and miracles is about all I have left right now so I appreciate any you can offer up for me.

Many many thanks for your lovely words. I will be okay. I will watch an episode of One Born Every Minute and have a huge sob and get it all out at once.

Thing is, I already knew it hadn't worked. I just tested to put the last nail in the coffin. Don't know why...I am masochistic I guess. Still, I would much, much rather find out from a test at home than a phone call from a stranger. I have absolutely no control over this situation, but that's one thing I can control...

Like I said, all I can do is keep going....

[Saffy]

Fantastic numbers Melissa, yoiu 're on to a winner there x

N2l- sorry the poas don't give you any joy, stupid things!!! They should be blown up, well the negative ones anyway lol. I agree with knowing before the BT, I really hope theres still a surprise for you but we do know our bodies back to front these days, so the instinct is porbably right. So sorry for you and DH. xx

Nothing from me of course, its going to be a long week I think!

[*beannaithe*]

N2L - awwwwww big hugs to you, sweetie. I am sorry . I hope you have had your giant big cry and a nice little scoff of chocolate to make yourself feel a little bit better. You always do amaze me with your strength to pick yourself up and do back to back cycles - I honestly don't know if I could've done that. Good things have to come to those who wait and I think you have waited far too long already. What is your plan now?

Saff - I pretty much had cramps most days from transfer so I am quietly hoping that yours are onto something. When is your BT?

Maruschke - thanks so much hon. Yeah, I was quite surprised with my numbers so maybe we may be in luck and two cooking. How is your cycle going - you must be about at the business end of stims? Good luck to you chick.

Thanks for all your kind words, lovelies! It has been sooooo nice to be able to give immediate family good news for a change When the clinic rang today, they were so excited, all the nurses there wanted to talk to me and they were going to ring the one on a day off to tell her which was nice but I have to go and see them tomorrow to get another bt form so am guessing will be getting a few hugs as well. I have often wondered how much their jobs must suck having to give people bad news too often but I guess days like this make it all worth it.

If you girls don't mind, can I hang around until I've had my next bt? You can't get rid of me easily though cos I will definitely be stalky stalking

[Saffy]

N2L- are you BTing today? Any signs of AF? How are the supplements going? Presuming theres no surprises coming in the BT, once AF comes I find I feel better, its just the days before her arrival its the pits. I know i told you off for proclaiming you were out on 11dpo but I'm about to do the same thing- you can tell me off too

Melissa- feel free to hang around with us for as long as you want, we need heroes to worship Have you got any symptoms yet? i think mine last tiem took until 5 wks to kick in. Have you got a ticker yet? Wishing you the most boring, normal 9 months ever- you deserve it!! Glad the clinic were celebrating!

hi maruschke- good luck for scan today, hope your EPU is on track!

afm- well, 6dpo5dt and getting big fat bfn still, no symptoms, so starting to accept I will be doing another FET next month, at least i will get a break from clexane which has turned my stomach black and blue, running out of room for spots to jab!

[nothing2lose]

Hi all

Just sticking my head in quickly. Not much to report....Had blood test this arvo. Just a formality really. Will get the official result tomorrow. I stopped the clexane and pessaries a couple of days ago so should get AF any day.

Still supplement stuffing, as well as eating protein galore. I bought some whey powder today so protein shakes here we come!

I would love to be able to wait for a month or two but I guess I will go straighten to another stim cycle....
Hope everyone is well x

Ps. Saffy, 11dpo is faaaaar too early to test

[nothing2lose]

Official BFN today in the form of phone call from clinic. Got my period overnight so today I am CD1.

I just had my first dose of a uterine tonic prescribed by the naturopath....BLUUUCCCGGHHHH

Gimme an injection any day

So here is my new daily regime -

30 gm of protein included in each meal
Low gi carbs
1 multivitamin with selenium (from naturopath)
2 high strength coq10
4 high strength fish oil
5 vitamin d tabs (will drop this down to 2 when my levels improve)
2 royal jelly caps
Berocca performance
2 anthogenol tabs (grape seed extract)
1500 mg metformin
Lecithin
20 ml uterine tonic

Hopefully it will help...

Oh yeah, DP has started on the menevit again.

Hope everyone is well xxxx

[*beannaithe*]

N2L - to you hon. Sounds like you have an awesome plan in place for the next few months though - go you! Ugh, those naturopath concoctions are FOUL! I got one for DH when we found out the extent of his swimmer quality. I think he had one dose and refused to take more. While I religiously downed my nasty, rotten one twice day. We are soooo much tougher than guys Holy crap, girl - you are one tough cookie - fingers, toes and everything is crossed that everything you are doing now makes a huge difference.

Saffy - yeah Saffy, 11dpo is wayy too early . Is the clexane really ouchy? Call me really really weird, but I was always quite proud of my bruises!!!!!! My little battlescars, I guess! DH did my jabs so its not like I was going out of my way to get them cos that really would be weird . I have a few little symptoms now - I am like a little pig cos I want to eat all day long (and the worst part is, I keep telling myself I can eat a bit more now, so I will be as fat as a pig before long!!!!!), boobies are getting sorer by the day and am soooooo tired. I'm quite literally either sleeping the whole way home (1hr) or falling asleep at 8pm. BUT, bring on the symptoms, I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!

Me - 2nd bt tomorrow. I actually feel really relaxed about it so I'm hoping my subconscious knows what its talking about and my numbers will be rising nicely
