KitKat - Welcome to the TWW - hope you are going well.
Loops - hope you are doing ok hon - big hugs!
Mum2be - all the best for your upcomming FET
Murraycod - back on it - FX and GL - hope OHSS stays away
K78 - I understand exactly what you are going through. There is still hope though hon. I think that you are like me in that it will be easier to deal with a BFN if we start letting go of the hope now.... sending you big hugs. I know how hard this journey is .... the questions and hopes, the torment and pain and I just wish I could find the magic solution... it feels we go through so much and put ALL of ourselves into this journey - so for it to fail - it doesn't seem fair!
AFM - I am letting go of this dream - even though the final result isn't here - and trying to gain back control of my life again....everything seems to go on hold during IVF including my biggest passion - scuba diving - which will be the first thing I get back into should this not turn out as hoped.
If I get a BFP I think I will keel over - I feel that my chances are so very slim.
The fact that AF has not arrived feels like nothing more than torment at the moment...
Glenny C - after your post I read a little bit more about HPT and have enabled myself to hope just a little bit more that I have tested too early.
I completely stuffed up my timing and thought I was much further along than I am
What I don't get is that I am on 1500iu of pregnyl every three days after et and yet the HPT are giving a negative - anyone able to shed any light on this? I have had three lots since ET!!
All the research says to wait about 10 days after pregnyl shot for it to be cleared from your system and not give a false positive.... but I am getting negatives - even on the day of a pregnyl shot???!!!!
murraycod, FX you've got the right dose this time. My dose has been increased to 450iu for this cycle (plus the change from puregon to gonal-f). My old FS wasn't willing to go above 325iu...
chekigal, I've read that the hcg shots can take 24 hrs to reach the urine. But that would only explain getting a BFN for the first one. I'm not sure what else to suggest? Unless you're testing with a hpt that isn't very sensitive or you got a faulty batch?
Trueblue, happy birthday for tomorrow (or was yours Monday?). It's a great time of year for a birthday (mine is next Saturday).
Afm, I never heard from the clinic, so I guess all is fine. So the week ahead will be all sniff jab sniff, sniff jab sniff, sniff jab sniff,...
Chekigal - No idea, other thought is that it is too high a level to be recorded as the tests only display HCG between a range (so if too high won't display a positive result) - just a thought?
Juniper - sounds like everything is fine which is great news!
Murraycod - I have FX that this is your cycle Goodluck with all the jabbing, I am sure you will be fine and look forward to seeing how your cycle progresses.
Trueblue - Happy Birthday!
Wishingbaby - Hope those embies are doing what they are supposed to do! Hope you are doing well too and aren't too stressed.
mum-2-be - Hope you enjoyed your month off - I know I certainly did. Hope your AF arrives soon so you can start your FET!
K78 - Thinking of you - I know, as many of us do, how awful it is to go through the ups and downs. I stopped using HPT's for the same reason as it was too stressful to keep seeing BFN’s before my BT - but please remember that until you have your BT, you REALLY don't know.
glenny_c – Goodbye for now but hopefully will see you in the pregnancy after LTTC forums soon!
Leabie – Hope you are doing OK now – BT not to far away now!
KitKat72 – Your BT is a long time after your 3 day transfer, mine is normally 2 weeks after ovulation, but yours is two weeks after transfer?
Terry – Hope your follies are growing and you aren’t getting too stressed out.
Mildez, kimbe, kitty_kat_48, babytruj, maggie , danyelle and melissal – Hi and hope you are having a nice weekend and not having to think too much about this awful LTTC caper we are all going through!
HI to anyone I have missed – there are a few of us in here at the moment - but glad to see we have cleared out a few into the pregnancy forums (in the nicest possible way, I want us all to move in there!)
AFM – Have another BT tomorrow morning to see if Femara has helped me to ovulate as I normally use Clomid but this month am trying a new drug. Wasn’t responding very well as of Thursday so hope to see I am doing something or will have to cancel the cycle

hi guys, thought i'd put up a quick note to you all.
soory i have been so slack in getting on BB
i have been reading some of the threads, congrats to those BFP's
i'll try to get on here and do some personals, been so busy with work and still getting this new home loan thing done too, is a bit stressfull.
we have delayed next IVF/ ICSI full stim cycle til next month now as i am just too stressed to do it ATM.
i want to give these embies the best chance possible. so lets wait till our home loan is approved and all our council approvals done then we'll do it.
hopefully i will have a day off this week where i can do something for myself, but not holding breath for that one.
i did have acu last week and DH and i went to the movies together, which is a rare thing indeed, it was nice to do something together.
thanks everyone for your wonderful birthday messages had an awesome night tonight surrounded by friends and family lots of laughs some burnt meat lol and now off to sleep in our new amazing bed with the most amazingly comfortable new mattress hoping the better sleep helsp with the ai. AM still anxious about mondays pending bt hopefully levels have gone down am finding it hard to get hopeful that the reason they want to do a hcg test is possible pregnancy I don't want tot think about it.
DH got me the new julie goodwin cookbook have been hanging for it to be released and I got a straightener and some money and some other stuff
K78: Hang in there chcik your going through the worst part the tww. Remain hopeful and strong and hopefully monday comes qick for us and answers some questions.
Lairdoz: FX the new drugs do their thing and bring you a bfp
Juniper: thanks chick mine is tommorrow (sat) dh's is monday and it's funny our bosses/friends birthdays are the week after and tghey are a week apart so strange for four taureans to get along so very well we are family now
Checkigal: very confusing indeed hopefully the doctors have some idea to shed some light on the sutuation
Murray cod: goodluck with the jabbing drink lots of water and try not to think of that possiblilty
omg just realised it's 12:09am I am now 26 years old......
Morning girls and Happy Belated Birthday to TrueBlue! Glad to hear you had a great time.
Chekigal - How are you? Keeping away from more HPT or have you buckled like me? I've become obsesssed with them!
Murraycod - FX this cycle is the one for you
Leabie – Good luck for your upcoming BT
Sorry for those I have missed. I hope your cycles are all going well and that you are keeping the stress levels down (whatever way you can).
AFM – Did another HPT this morning (first wee) with a Crystal Clear and it came up BFP (very faint again but there). I'm hoping this is a good sign. Can I get excited yet or still wait til tomorrow?? I am SO inpatient now. Only one more sleep and we'll know FOR SURE YES OR NO! DH and I have decided to go to Broome for a holiday in May regardless of result, will be booking tomorrow. Need to celebrate/recover somewhere lovely and relaxing.
Lairdoz - Interesting thought - I have heard this with molecular pregnancies - FX this is not what is going on!!
JBM - Hope you enjoyed the movie and home loan comes through OK
TrueBlue - happy 26th hon!!!! xxxx
Lairdoz, interesting point about the BT. They originally told me to test on the 13th when they thought I was going to be doing a day 5 transfer. I wonder if the date should change now that they did a day 3? Of course, the embie would still be the same "age" (if it survives until then), even though it spent more of its "life" inside of me than in the petri dish. I just don't know. But thanks for raising this -- I'm going to call the clinic and ask next week.
I hope everyone else is doing well. (Don't have time for detailed persies this morning.)
AFM, no probs yet with my TWW. I'm pretty relaxed so far. Just sad that I can't go for a surf on such a nice beach day. DH is out there right now tearing it up -- jealous! Anyway, I suspect I'll start to get more antsy as the days progress . . .
Goodluck with all the jabbing, I am sure you will be fine and look forward to seeing how your cycle progresses.
