Don't give up yet - I can't say I have ever made it to beta - so I really don't know what you going through .

They were always too far away for my liking but it saved the wondering after the bloodtest. Hugs to you for whatever the outcome. A good sign is no AF at the moment.

Melbo get a BFP after a BFN on pee sticks if that is what you are worried about.

Last time I was 5 -6 days late for me & my cycle but then the witch showed - on a very sad day anyway. Like she was rubbing it in. Hateful.

Humphrey :shock: I wouldn't do that anyway -

Tam -good Q - it is hard - after 13 -14yrs ttc - we have tried not to let it rule our life - until now IVF is very limiting in away.

Heather & Sue - good advice - sometimes it can be so traumatic to a relationship and we do take out our frustrations on DH/DP or anyone else nearby. WE have to remember our love first for each other and love & desire for our maybe baby second to keep us firmly grounded.


Sushee - I feel I am inbetween the two forums- I went in with my eyes wide open - I know success is not guaranteed but while it is bittersweet knowing some strike it lucky first go it is also rewarding to see those who have been through the hoops finally get a BFP.

I know you know what 'tough nuts' are and they have done it tough -I can't imagine how they can still be ...
that I steer clear of. When you lurk other places you shouldn't go and hear things that are best unheard(read) it can really dampen the spirits and empty the cup of hope if you are new to this IVF babygame. We need a balance here.


Since I joined ltttc there have been 7 out of 15 who were in ltttc thread (a few months ago) who have got BFPs - of course not including the new gals.
