Hi Josie Jo, im so sorry to hear everything that you have been going through. I think the question of when to call it quits plagues everyone along their journey. A couple of amazing ladies from this thread have just made that very difficult decision. Not sure if they are still checking this post or not but perhaps if they do they will be able to offer some wisdom.
As for me anothe BFN today. But cos AF still not here Im holding on to that tiny bit of hope.
Fingers crossed she stays away and you get your bfp soon Jane!:
Absolutely 2nd what TubbyPuff said and good luck Jane xxx

Well I just did my first POAS and it's a bfn. Feeling a little down, but then it's only 5days since transfer in 3 hrs time.
I was feeling sicky yesterday and uncomfortably heavy. Maybe it's the progesterone, but haven't been like this in the past 4 cycles.
Ah well, will try again tomorrow :pray:
Jane:) I hope af still hasn't arrived and that you get a bfp with the bt.
Hopeful mum, it's a tad early hun, hang in there! xxx

Its a BFN for me. Just got official results. Now I have to figure out whether to jump straight into another cycle or give myself a month off??
Wishing everyone a better outcome.
So sorrt jane big hugs x
Sorry to hear Jane :(
So Sorry Jane xxx
Thanks miss b. Was wondering if too early but thought I would try :-) Af would normally come after bt, but last time it was 6dp 5dt. Will wait for tomorrow's testing. I can't help myself.
Jane:) I am so sad to hear that this cycle didn't work out for you :'( I don't know what you should do. I guess that other ladies in this group may have fantastic advice from their experiences. I do know that at my age, nearly 44, I can't take too much time off from cycles or else I won't be able to continue with ivf.
BTW ladies, with the 1st response tests, can a false positive come up after the 3-10 min testing time period? Mine did when I looked at the test at lunch time. Guessing it does that but wanted to ask anyway.
Thanks girls. Ive decided to have a cycle off. Psychologically I need the break and financially. Ill still hang around and hopefully will be ready to do a transfer in early April.
Would you like me to put you down of having a break Jane?
Hopeful mum. I guess a false positive is always possible but I am choosing to believe that it means you are on your way to a darker stronger bfp in the next few days. I really hope this cycle is the one for you.
Yes please tubby puff. Thanks
Thank you jane:) for helping me to remember to believe that this could be 'the' cycle. Good luck with your time off from the ivf roller coaster. I only pray that whatever cycle you starts blesses you with your own bub. Xo.
I tested again this morning and there was a faint second line. Don't want to get too excited, although it's hard not too. Haven't told my partner as he was against me doing the testing before the bt this thu. I will be keeping the tests though for bubs pre birth box. Fx that the other tests get darker lines closer to Thurs.
Sounds promising Hopeful Mum. When are you going to test again? ;) lol
My DH is anti testing before the official bt too but I feel like it helps me feel more in control. Means I get to find out the outcome on my own terms in my own time.

I forgot to do the list yesterday, my apologies ladies!
Fx that test keeps getting darker hopeful mum!!
Well ladies the line hasn't gotten any darker today. I realise that I still have 4days before my bt on Thursday. So hoping that it does increase. Would be devastated if I didn't get a bfp with bt :'(
Anyway, what will be will be.
Hopeful mum, I'm praying your line gets darker soon. I wouldn't test now until maybe Tuesday, the last thing you want is to be testing every day and stressing about the lightness/darkness of it. The line sometimes doesn't get darker until two days after your initial test. In my last cycle, I was obsessing so much about the colour of it, it wasn't healthy lol. GL hun xxx
Thank you miss B. I think that I will try to hold off until Tuesday now. It might help :-) as you said.
I have also read because of my old age group that it could be some sort of hcg that is false for pregnancy, hence faint positive line. Has anyone heard of this before?? Can't remember where I read it, in one of the ivf fb groups maybe? ?
I cant believe it its a miracle. Back from the fs scan my fsh is 7 and there is lots of ovarian activity and she thinks I will ovulate in around 5 days. I havent ovulated in 8 months! Im im tears thankyou god thankyou thankyou thankyou. Waiting for cd1 and wr start ivf for embryo freezing and will be trying naturally as well
Exciting times ladies.
Adgirl I hope you get a natural miracle this month.
Hopeful mum sorry if encoraging you to poas has been unhelpful in anyway. Still sounds promising yk me. Im keeping everything crossed for you.

Hey I chose to do the testing, you didn't make me :-) I didn't do one today but looking at doing a digital one tomorrow. Then I'm waiting until bt on Thursday morning. Just hoping that the line is darker, or else I guess it will mean my hcg level is reducing and therefore not bdp.
Adgirl, absolutely wonderful news about you ovulating after 8 months. So hoping that this cycle works for you.

Quietly stalking the next poas installment ;)
lol so am I where are you hopeful mum???
Hi ladies. Sorry to have kept you in the dark today.
Well I did a digital test this morning (0525) and. .... apparently I am 2-3 weeks pregnant. Yay. Holding back extreme excitement. Very difficult to do:dance:
I spoke with ivf nurse and told her. Judy was excited so I also asked if I could do the bt tomorrow instead of Thursday. She didn't have an issue, but reminded me that anything could happen.
So far this has been the best cycle yet :leap:
I am going to do another poas tomorrow morning. Hopefully it still is a BFP. if not, well the bt will give me my answer. Will post results as soon as I know, either way. Xo.
Oh my goodness everything is crossed for you hopeful mum stay positive and im sure your bt will be fine :)
OMG that is amazing! Couldnt be happier for you. Yay yay yay!!!!
This gives me hope too. :)
WooHoo Hopeful Mum that's fantastic news Congratulations :dance:
Yay hopeful mum!!!! Good luck tomorrow :)
That's fantastic news hopeful mum!! :)
I'm in the middle of moving houses at the moment so I haven't been on since this morning and that's a great thing to see :D good luck with your bt :)
Morning ladies.
Thank you so much for all your words of positivity and hope. It is wonderful to be in a group that is so supportive :hug:
Well at 0305h this morning i woke up and decided to do a poas (2 actually lol). Second line was darker than before and digital one is still registering that I am 2-3 weeks.
Feeling very excited now as I'm waiting for my bt. Will be back later with my results.
Tubbypuff, good luck with the moving :-)
:leap::confetti::happydance::hooray:
Bt back. It's positive yippppppeeeeeeeeee
Hcg - 101 ( test done a day early, but still good apparently)
Progesterone - 190 (been doing 2 crinone and 2 pessaries ea day)
Next step is another bt on 04Mar and 11Mar. Have to book fs appt for 3 weeks time. Early days.
OMG I am so happy and excited, but also sad that there are amazing and wonderful ladies in this group that their ivf journey has finished or that after years they are still riding the ivf roller coaster. This was only my 5th cycle.
:grouphug:
Congrats hopeful mum wow I am so happy for you yippeee!
