    Thanks everyone, I had my first official freak out earlier... I went to the toilet and when I wiped there was a really light pink tinge on the paper, really pale but still there, so was convinced it wasnt taking. But I have managed to calm myself down and think of what they did to actually get that little emby in there so it could possibly be normal to have a light discolouration tonight. Oh well anyway.

    Carla - Best of luck for the 19th, how exciting. Hard to be mellow when inside your just going crazy with anticipation, worry and suspense! I hope everything goes well and you get a I will keep an eye out for your results.

    Tigger - Good luck with your scan

    Hi Guuys
    I cracked this morning. I did a HPT!!! I have 7 days to go until my BT. I think I put too much pee on the stick and I dropped it cause I was shaking so much but it came up BFN. I have cried all morning. Is there still a chance it could be BFP??? Is it too soon. Apert from the BB's and the sorest BB's and stomach....i really dont feel any different than I have been feeling for the past month on all these drugs??? Should I have some symptoms by now. I feel like I have a very low period pain but only slight...does this mean something bad? NO blood....does Crinole keep AF away??? God please someone give me some answers.....has anyone else had what I have but have had a BFP????

    Hi Carla,

    I think it would be too early to test, in a natural conception it is extremely rare to get a BFP 7 days before AF due so therefore I think your BFN is not necessarily the end of it all. I dont really see why IVF conception would be different to natural in that way.

    And, I think Kim is right about the Crinone. Although this is my first IVF cycle the nurse did tell me that most commonly AF will arrive prior to blood test (although you still have to have it regardless), and they told me to take Crinone right up until the day of the test.

    The only thing I can say about symptoms is that you should keep in mind that AF and pg symptoms are almost identical which is why it is so hard to know the difference. So dont lose hope just because you dont seem to feel anything. To be honest when I was pregnant with Nicholas the only sign I had was no AF, and actually that continued through my whole pregnancy.

    Hang in there, you have a very long week ahead and I you get your BFP at the end.

    Take care and try not to stress too much - as impossible as that is.

    Mel

    Oh Carla, I am so sorry AF arrived I dont blame you for being heartbroken, I was crossing everything for you. Cry as much as you need to (and that goes for DH as well) and just let it out as much as you can. I am so glad you have such a supportive DH to look after you, you deserve some major TLC.

    :hugs: to you, and take care of yourself.

    Mel: Hope the days are flying past each one closer to testing day, as for the progesterone my first cycle I got AF while I was on it and then every other cycle after that I only got it after I stopped. So it is weird stuff...thinking of you anyway

    Thanks everyone for thinking of me

    I have a question, I am starting to get really worried - on Wednesday I had a little bit of intermittent cramping mid afternoon, not doubled over in pain or anything just that uncomfortable niggly feeling on and off, then around 5ish I went to the toilet and noticed a spot of blood on my panty liner. The spot was tiny, pretty much the size of a ball point pen tip but of course I worried anyway. Yesterday, nothing at all so relaxed a little. But... sitting here in the last 10 minutes I have started to get that crampy feeling again and I am starting to stress out! I feel like I am just sitting here waiting to start bleeding, its such an awful feeling (as I know you all know) and I just cant see how this could work.

    Also, I am feeling a little guilty - I am applying for a job (giving the work at home thing the boot, pay is crappy), and they seem pretty keen. I figured IF I happen to get pregnant is it wrong to start without telling them? I figure that I would definitely tell them 2 weeks before the trial period was up, giving them the opportunity to find someone else if they did not want to keep me on but I feel like maybe I would be silly to tell them and bugger up my chances when it may not work or if I miscarried (which with blood condition is a possibility). But then am I being unethical not telling them?

    Sorry for long one, got alot going through my mind. I think the progesterone is making me extra tired too cause I am just exhausted by the end of the day so I am sure that is not helping my emotional state

    Thanks Kim, I had the transfer on the 12th though so its only 5 days after on Wednesday but is 7 days after today, so might still be too early for implantation. I have read that some of the other girls have had AF arrive 4 or 5 days prior to BT which is why I was thinking maybe my body is gearing up for it. I dont remember feeling anything at all with Nicholas, but then it was a smooth pregnancy (until the end of course). I know I usually get this type of pain when I am ovulating but obviously that is not happening. Anyway, I guess it isnt over til the fat lady sings so

    With the job, Vic laws are the same for maternity leave so no they wouldnt have to give me those benefits. The trial period is 3 months, so I thought if I was pg I could tell them 2 weeks prior to the end of that 3 months. By then I will have proven myself to be an asset so they might want to keep me anyway, and if not they have 2 weeks to find someone before the end of the trial period. I dont know, guess I should wait and see if I get it first - but I feel rather confident, seeing them next Tuesday afternoon.

    Thank again
