myturn, he he, after having me a day behind before, in your excitement yesterday you skipped me forward an extra cycle day yesterday (from 12 to 14, instead of 13)... I am CD14 now. ;) How are you feeling today?

Just having a mini vent..... I have to have ovulated in order to have NK cell biopsy on Monday. So, what does my body decide to do? Not cooperate, of course. If I see one more negative OPK, I am going to scream!!!
Vent over/
Thanks :lol:
how annoying N2L...... (myturn punches the air three times and looks to the sky in disgust):
:wall:juniper...... doh......I fixed it now..... I will blame the drugs..... I was incapacitated and as I was not supposed to make any big decisions for 24 hours.... I guess that means my ability to complete the list was affected as well.... :rofl::
Oh n2l that just plain out sucks, sorry to hear your body is being stubborn, hug
N2L, oh no! Do you need to be a certain dpo or just as long as it's after O (ie even 1dpo is okay)? I haven't had that biopsy done, so I'm not familiar with the requirements. FX you get a beautiful +OPK in the next 24 hours! Is there any sign it might be near? Any CM? I hate to say, but I've been worrying the opposite, that I'll O too early this cycle. My lap should be around 12dpo if I O at my usual time, but it will end up being during AF if I O even a day or two early. In my case it's just a convenience issue though, not a medical requirement. I'm sending all my +OPK vibes to you and you can send all your -OPK vibes to me, okay?
myturn, ROFL! :rofl:
I was due for AF when I had my lap - it didn't arrive, but I ended up bleeding for about 9 days... and then I didn't until the next month, so I think it was convenient for the lap to be around the same time.... would have hated to bleed twice in a month....
n2l... maybe the OPK's aren't working....??? during FET I have to have blood tests cause they don't work well with me.... (although I have three boxes of the Seratec in my cupboard still....)
hi ladies, hope you're all doing well. had some sad family news, so been away for bit, i will try and catch up with where everyone is at.
ps - good news with blast transfer, best of luck. xx
myturn - goodluck for tomorrow (hope ive got the day right!).
n2l - like myturn, i have had one natural FET where the opk's didnt work either, had to do blood tests to determine ovulation. dont know why considering it had always worked for me before... just typical though that now ovulation seems to be on holiday. hmph.
hi everyone else. :)
afm - not much going on, just waiting for af as i will be having nk cell biopsy like n2l in next cycle. hopefully my cycle behaves itself so i can get things going again.
Well ladies, looks like I'm back in here again. CD1 for me today although I had my BT today just to confirm what I already new and the clinic never called me... all i can say is how rude. Now just hoping for a small miracle and hoping the FS will review my file and let me do back to back FET in the next 24hrs or we will miss our window for another month.
mrs mac - sorry, we must have posted at same time. sorry you're on cd1 again, it sucks. :hug:
:( mrs mac..... so sorry :hug:
:hello: Andie
Good luck tomorrow Myturn.
Sorry mrs Mac:( hugs!!!
Hi Andie & everyone else.
Oh Myturn my BT is 27/7/12 (great job you are doing on the list! Thanks:) )
My turn. Good luck for tomorrow. Will be quietly stalking you in the tww thread.
N2L, that sucks! Why do our bodies do the opposite to what we want them to do at important times like these?
Myturn, GL tomorrow :crossfingers: Do you know how many embies you got?
Mrs Mac, I'm sorry hunni :hug:. Regardless of the result that's pretty rude of your clinic not to have called. I hope you can do a FET cycle straight away and GL with that lovely.
Hello to everyone else :hello:
I have been checking on you ladies, but to be honest, I'm really struggling with my failed cycle. Every day I wake up feeling like crap and can't even bring myself to make an appointment to my FS. I feel like I've fallen into a dark hole and can't seem to get out of it. I'm off belly a lot, I just can't seem to handle PA and other exciting baby news. This is my first BFN, and for the first time ever, I now know how much a failed cycle feels like. So to all of you ladies who have gotten a BFN in the past, I just want to give you the biggest hug ever. It's such a crappy, horrible feeling. Right now I'm really doubting my body/eggs, and I'm too scared to see my FS in case he mentions donor eggs. It's just not the path for me. I'm scared of what he'll say. Anyhoo, I am around and will be checking on you ladies. GL to you all in your cycles :crossfingers: xoxox
oh miss b big :hug:
it surely does suck :(
I don't know how many embies yet - but will update tomorrow xx
thanks for all the good luck girls xxx
Mrs Mac, sorry to hear that. I always had to call for the result when it was BFN. I can understand why they don't like giving bad news, but making us wait just prolongs our suffering. FX you can do back to back cycles like you want.
myturn, GL tomorrow. Did you get any news on the fertilisation today? Last time I had my lap the day I was due to O and bled for 2 weeks, followed by AF, so 3 weeks total. I was hoping that having it close to AF this time would make the bleeding much shorter, so it's good to hear that was your experience. Not that I deliberately picked a date near AF, it was just the first surgical slot available.
MissB, sorry to hear you're feeling that way. I have been there too many times, so feel free to PM me if you want someone to talk with someone one-on-one. I always set myself a time limit for dealing with the depression. It's normal to be depressed after a significant setback, but if you stay depressed for too long then you need to seek help. The limit I set myself was 1 month, but you may want to choose a different one if you have a better idea of what is normal for you. In the meantime, try to get up, get moving and do the things you don't feel motivated to do. It's amazing how big an improvement you can achieve just by making yourself do things. Also, I found having a plan for what to do next helped tremendously - I could be miserable and depressed for weeks and just calling the FS office to tee up the next cycle could turn it around because I had that potential positive outcome to focus on allowing me to put the previous negative outcome behind us.
That's a long time to bleed! How annoying!
No i didn't get any news on fertilisation.... only a text message telling me the time of transfer. We get all the other info when we arrive tomorrow...
I have acupuncture at 7.15am! then transfer at 8.40am and acupuncture again at 9.30am..... busy morning!!!
Happy PUPO day myturn!!! Hope the transfer goes smoothly.

Mrs Mac - I'm so sorry... How rude of your clinic... Big hugs for you and fingers crossed you can do another FET straight away!
MyTurn! How exciting, you'll be PUPO today! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
N2L - hoping for your the O shows up soon... I never could get the predictor kits to work for me, ended up doing the blood tests at the clinic...
AFM - I am CD1 today - AF showed up with a vengeance, kinda unexpected, although at being cd41 yesterday I should have seen it coming ;) (my acupuncturist thought it would be another week and I would have been quite happy with that...) The last few days I have been kinda crampy and thought I might have had pregnancy symptoms, but that was just wishful thinking. Oh well, now onto a natural cycle, then on holidays and then a possible FET in October!!! (unless we fall pregnant before that, ha ha... I wonder what are chances are...)
thanks Mrs Mac.....
so my stats are....
9 eggs.... 6 fertilised..... but only 2 possibilities :( they are not sure whether the other one will be okay to freeze..... the one in me is only 2 cells at the moment, so he reckons it's growing a little slower than they'd like.... but it's a good quality (better than the last ones DH thinks)
and apparently there were other eggs they couldn't get... AND I didn't take to the anasthetic well, I needed a tube :o
he said the bloating I have (which I've never noticed before, but was quite sore yesterday and today...) is all the hormones.... my abdomen feels pretty good (considering that's the bit that's been stabbed and prodded), but my stomach feels like it has had air pumped into it, and it's stuck!
did my acupuncture before and after... not sure the acu itself was of any benefit (maybe I am in the placebo group ;) ) but certainly the meditation I did before felt relaxing, and I wanted to cry afterwards, but the meditation was relaxing and reminded me to be positive....
maybe it will work, maybe it won't..... but I know I will be okay either way, so in the meantime I will enjoy it, and imagine it's going to work and be fine.
Our Wedding anniversary is the 30th July - and we are taking 2 days off work (30-31)..... so we will enjoy those last days of blissful ignorance and have the BT on the 2nd.....
Anyway, I've got one of the little 'blobs' in me... so going to meditate, and imagine my body doing everything it's supposed to do.
:hello: me4ever.... I've been thinking about you and hoping all was well.... sorry you posted while I was 'creating' my post ;) lol
sorry AF arrived.... but at the same time 'yay' .... weird mixed feelings sometimes isn't it!!
I am sorry to hear that you didn't have better numbers myturn. Thats exactly how I felt with EPU getting 17 eggs and only 2 made it. Its crap! Still as you know its not about numbers only quality so its good that yours is better than last time.
I will be quietly stalking you xxx
Hi Myturn! Thanks for changing the details ;) You're PUPO! Yay! And everyone will probably mention - it takes only 1!!! Hope this it the lucky one and sending you lots of sticky vibes! And oh well I suppose AF had to show up one day.. it's a bit of a shock after not having had a period since March!! (I suppose I'm pretty lucky...) And I suppose with a new cycle, new chances of falling pregnant! I can't wait to be up the duff again ;)
FX for you myturn. When we did our last transfer, we only had 2 embryos out of 5 eggs (4 initially fertilised) and neither embryo was good quality. Our FS is normally Mr Optimism and he was openly disappointed with the quality of the embryos. He actually said, "I was hoping you'd get a grade 1". At that point, I was convinced we had no chance. We transferred both and one became DD. Funny how our worst cycle on paper was the only one that worked. Anything can happen between now and your b/t. (And talk about coincidence, both the 30th of July and 2nd of August are significant dates for us this year, but for very different reasons.)
me4ever, sorry to hear AF is being nasty, but FX you won't need that FET!
Oh myturn hug Hun I so hope the one tucked away inside is a good little grower for you xo
Missb - sorry yo hear you are having a hard time with the outcome, I am always here to talk pm if you need to chat vent, whatever you need. You have helped me do much through all of mine and I am here if you need. Thinking of you xo
Hi all,
Miss B, so sorry you are feeling so down. It sucks like nothing else. I know how hard it is to feel like time is not on your side either :( I think it's totally normal to grieve and wallow for a while. Just know we are all here for you if you need to vent. We all know what you're going through. Take care :hug: xxx
Myturn, sorry your transfer didn't go as well as you hoped it would :( I won't harp on about how it takes only one - I know you know that. Just keep positive and remember we are all here to celebrate or commiserate with you. Best of luck xxx
hi to everyone else :hello: I hope all your sniffing and jabbing and waiting (or wherever you're up to!) is going well :)
Afm- I still haven't detected a surge. I rang the new FS to find out if. I should still come in on Monday for the biopsy. He wants me to have a BT tomorrow to check I haven't ovulated (i know I haven't but whatever...:lol: ). Then, based on that result, he will work out a plan of attack. Bloody body.... :lol: :rolleyes:
thanks N2L...... I really appreciate the support.:
I do hope the FS has a plan of attack for you xxx
Finally I get to be able to do another cycle sooner than we thought, looks like boat is sold and tax man was good to us so we will have enough money for a couple of cycles so we are going to do one when AF arrives.
I have just become one very happy but nervous chicken. Hopefully transfer can be done before DH goes to hospital in mid september so he is there to. We aren't telling anyone about this one but. Except you guys of course ;-)
Soooo happy right now.
Thanks Kerbear and n2l, you girls are so sweet. Still feeling bummed about my BFN but a tiny spark of my old self is coming back slowly. I guess it has to if there is any chance of trying again. I've decided I have to keep going even if it's just for 1 or 2 more cycles (before my reproductive time really runs out), because I don't want any regrets later down the line that I didn't try hard enough. I just wish I had a few more years left in me to try.
Myturn, you might have a perfect lil embie on board, be in 2 or 4 cells. I had a hundred something cell embie on board and it didn't even stick, probably because it stopped growing at some point. If it's a good embie it doesn't matter how small it is, it will make the distance. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. And I hope for that for you.
Juniper, I read your blog, it was so great to read, thank you for sharing. So many tears and also so many smiles. I really hope you can give that gorgeous DD of yours a sibling soon :crossfingers:
Hello to all my other beautiful friends, I am watching you all :) xoxox
Kerbear, yay :happydance:!!! So excited for you hun :)
Thanks missb, it's a bit sad DH has to give up his favourite toy, makes it bitter sweet really.
Congratulations on making plans for another cycle Kerbear!
I've been thinking of you miss B :hug:
Best of luck myturn- think positively if you can :hug:
Sorry your body has let you down N2L..... Bloody bodies :(
AFM- pretty sure it's O day today!!!!
Detected a surge on my seratec and now off for a blood test....
If I O'd today- t/fer will be in 6 days, so I'm told :D
Can anyone explain to me- 2 day t/fer vs 5/6 day t/fer?
I seem to be the only one having the latter.
It just depends on the clinic and/or the amount of embryos you have Emma. Some clinics think embryos do better inside you earlier. Some prefer to grow them out to see which ones are the most viable.
Thanks Emma, yay for transfer soon
is anyone a serial POAS-er? I am on my second FET and want to compare mine..
ME!!!!
Woohoo Kerbear, that's fantastic news. Bummer about the boat though. It's funny how we would all give up anything to get a BFP.
Miss B, I'm glad your starting to feel better. For me I find that is easier If I only allow myself a period of time to be sad. For this cycle I allowed myself 1 day of self pity, loathing and crying uncontrollably and then made myself stop. If I don't do this I find that I end up sad for a very long time. And for me it is working (for now at least).
Emma, not long now till transfer, FX for you and I have the next 6 dys go super fast.
Big hi to all you other lovley ladies.
AFM- clinic finaly called yesterday to tell me my test was BFN. Now I just have to wait for the FS to call (usually around 4 days after my results) to see wha he thinks. Don't think we will be able to do another transfer this cycle which is very disappointing and am considering taking the clomid that I had left to at least up our chances a little and to help shorten my cycle. I did make an appointment with him for 31st Jul to discuss the last 2 cycle and why they both failed with beautiful looking hatching blasts, but I am sure he will not have an answer for me. Do any of you ladies have any asvice of questions I should ask him? I feel kind of lost ATM.

I will go have a look, I am only using those ebay cheapies.. maybe I should get some real ones?:
I think it depends on what ebay cheapies they are, but the Lullaby Conceptions ones are pretty good. They are also ultra sensitive.
I ordered from oracle fertility.. might look up lullaby conceptions:
