    gday guys well results are in and apparently my body doesn't like being told what to do and is just as stubborn and pigheaded as I am. My e2 levels have doubled and are now at almost 2500 so the nurse thinks I am ovulating through the drugs or I may have a small cyst am off for an u/s on thursday morning in sale have to leave here at the butt crack of dawn as it takes 1 1/2 hours to get there to rule out a cyst. Has anyone else experienced this she told me to stay on the nasal spray but doesn't anyone know what may be a possible outcome of what happens next if it's not a cyst? WIll they see how close to oing I am and just trigger me or will they cancel it? Help.... I hung up the phone and just burst into tears dh is trying to be strong.
    I am feeling very lost and in limbo here still not knowing any answers apart from knowing I am not utd.
    We dtd last night so maybe if we just do that as I worked out my natural o day would be today I think.

    Hi ladies

    As Loops said so much happens in here in just a few days.

    K78 sorry it wasn't your month hope you are starting to feel a bit better now that you know

    Trublue don't stress it will all be ok I know you are probably thinking that you will miss ovualtion etc but if there was a chance of cancelling she would have told you

    babytruj looks like your progressing well and not to far off from your transfer hope the scan brings you one step closer tomorrow

    Maggie do you have a transfer date yet?

    JustOneMore good luck for the next two weeks hope that you can manage to stay sane through the process. Glad that the acupunture worked for you

    Sorry I haven't done more pressie but at work


    AFM have another scan tomorrow to check my follicles etc before my FET but should I get a positive reading for surge when I do my daily POAS then its onto booking my transfer

    trueblue sounds a bit trixie for me. Not sure having not been in that position myself but I hope its all good, no cyst and you don't miss out on this cycle or else your body has plans of its own to ovulate through the drugs and you get a BFP anyway.

    Loops12 that sounds like something I would do. Get the old test out of the bin. I guess if its more then a day old when you say the line it could very well be an evap line but I hope not. Did you have any tests after your m/c to see the HCG was going away? I hope its a BFP. I'd be so happy for you if it was. Gee I couldn't help myself but test again before now. Was the line very faint or clearly visable?

    Well I am feeling abit out of place at the moment in all threads. Here obviously although ltttc I am not up to the assisted stage yet for another 6weeks (have to make the Dr and DH happy even if I am not) and in the m/c and loss thread I feel like an original with everyone leaving and seeing newbies come and go etc.

    babytruj sending you lining grow thicker vibes.

    Oh and a friend was just complaining how she has been ttc for so long and she is sick of it. She has been ttc 5months and he DS is 12months old. Grr sorry vent done can be happy happy joy joy now! I've had my bit-ch for the day now!

    K78 - So sorry, there's no word's that could be said for where you must be right now. Try to look after yourself during this time.

    Maggie - I'm doing a natural FET so not sure re: O'ing, but surely HRT must have success for some or they wouldn't go there huh.

    Lairdoz, babytruej & tantee - for all the positive signs you need.

    AFM - 1st BT tomorrow then the daily test's for ovulation. Bring on the FET, my patience is already stretched!

    Loops - I hope either AF of BFP come along soon as I know being in limbo is fairly hideous and you have had enough of all of that stuff this year.
    Trueblue - Anything that's going to keep you awake at night thinking about, I would be calling the nurses to get them to tell you what they think. Don't you hate it when you feel like they assume you know so much more than you do and you walk out wondering what's next? My understanding of having a cyst is that they will stop meds and probably take a month off to see if the cyst goes down (or away). I am sure I had one a long time ago and I just took a month off and the cyst went away.
    Mildez -As Loops said, this is the place to vent. Life is all relative so of course to your friends five months is a long time, but I know for most of us we would gladly swap five months of naturally TTC'ing to what we have to go through. I think you should stay here, even if it's just to pop in when you need to - those six weeks will go by very quickly
    Kimbe - goodluck for tomorrow, you must be very close to my cycle as I am on day 13.
    Terry - Hope the scan tomorrow goes well.
    JustOneMore, Juniper, Murraycod, Maggie, Tantee and anyone else I missed – Hi!


    AFM – My E2 levels have gone from 350 two days ago, to 1360 today... So Femara does work! I am not having a scan which I normally do for a FET (I guess they are used to seeing that I have a decent lining so not really worth looking at after four cycles) so just have to ring next Monday to find out what time to be there for my transfer next Tuesday the 11th. Feels a bit wierd as all I have had to go is three blood tests and take 5 tablets!

    Loops - thanks for your message. I'm feeling better today, still sad but what can you do - this time was not meant to be. FX my FET in June will bring me a BFP.

    To confirm re my results, my BFN was confirmed via a BT by my FS yesterday.
    I did a HPT the day before, on Sunday, with the Crystal Clear brand that showed as a BFP. SO girls, try to stay away from HPT - they really aren't accurate and make it harder to deal with a BFN BT when you've received a BFP from your HPT.
    The HPT I used detected the FSH in my bloodstream hence showing a BFP but, the BT detected it too and it wasn't high enough to sustain a pregnancy. I confirmed this with FS.
    STAY AWAY FROM THE HPT's....
    Good luck to the rest of you wherever you are in your cycles.

    Morning ladies

    K78 you are so right the HPT tests are the worst but we all cant help using them even though we know thet cause pain

    Mildez liek others have said 6 weeks isn't long to wait I took a 5 month break and didn't think I would cope but its great just to have a normal life for a while cuase before you know it you'll be on the rollercoaster again

    kimbe hope your BT went ok and that you don't need to do your daily tests for too long

    Lairdoz how strange is it to do a natural FET. Looks like you and I will be going through our journey together this month good luck for Tuesday

    Hi to veryone else that I've missed hope that your all travelling along nicely in your cycles

    AFM had another scan this morning looks like I should Ovualte on Friday which would give me a Monday transfer. I'm just glad that my body has gone back to normal by that I mean that I usually ovualate day 17. So two more days of surge testing for me and if that doesn't work then I need to do a BT on Friday

    Hi lovely ladies!

    Where to start, where to start?! So much happens in here when you take a few days off...

    K78 - I'm so, so sorry to hear your BFN babe, they're just crushing, aren't they? I hope that you are spoiling yourself and taking some time. Got FX for your FET cycle in June.

    Trueblue - I'm obviously behind the 8 ball, but I'm confused by your using Synarel for IUI? In my IUI cycles, I just did a bit of FSH leading up to ovulation, then Pregnyl trigger and Pregnyl follow ups. I guess different FS's do different things, don't they?! Fingers crossed for your scan tomorrow, and everything resolves itself quickly sweetie! Its great that DH is being strong.

    Lairdoz - yay for your E2 levels! Its amazing how quickly things can change. Good luck for your ET next week.

    Terry - got everything crossed for your ET next week, praying it'll be Monday! Good luck hun.

    Loops - OMG I can't believe what you're going through... you poor chook! I too have pulled HPTs out of the bin I'd be doing one every day til I had an answer, I'm hopeless!

    Mildez - that the next 6 weeks fly by for you. As for your friend, don't you just want to scream at them sometimes?!

    Kimbe - hang in there, hopefully it won't be too long til your ET.

    HI to everyone that I've missed! I always miss someone...

    AFM - spoke too soon about the OHSS, it came back and bit me last week! Dang it. Had my final pregnyl shot on Sunday, so hopefully it won't get any worse. I look like I'm 6 months pregnant, and sit down/get up like I am too... DH and I have affectionately named it Fat Guts And stupid me, got my dates wrong - though my BT was today, but its on Friday grrrr... Am starting to get AF-type cramps, so am losing hope. To make it worse, I have to go to a baby shower on Saturday, oh joy!

    Whinge over! Have a good day everybody, good luck for those waiting.

    Leabie - hopefully things have settled down... FX for Friday.

    Not much personals 2nite.... sorry. Have been quietly counting down the hours til my final BT - 10hrs, 50 mins now

    All HPT's showing positive - but I won't enable myself to get too excited until final results.

    All classic symptoms of pregnancy now showing, including an abundance of veins, sensitive and enlarged boobs, tiredness, feeling bloated and off colour...

    If I was a horse, I would put money on it

    But, am also aware that these symptoms can be caused by the drugs I am on....

    So, let's so what tomorrow brings.

    FX for everyone. xxxx

    Trueblue - how did your scan go this morning?

    Chekigal - Have you heard back yet. I have my fx for you.

    Leabie - here's hoping that your OHSS settles

    Terry - I hope you get the results you want tomorrow

    K78 - I'm really sorry you didn't get your BFP this cycle. Where do you go from here?

    Hi to everyone else, sorry for lack of persies.

    AFM: Went today to get what I thought would be my last monthly shot only to find out that FS is unable to start IVF in June as originally planned as he will be away. So I need to get another shot next month (yay, another month of crappy meds) then wait another month to start IVF (which will be almost a year to the day of my last round) This waiting is driving me CRAZY. I am pretty bummed as I had psyched myself up these few months working towards June and now have to wait until July
    Sorry for the rant, but you know when you have one of those days when you are just fed up with the whole thing? That's me today

    gday girls am back it has been a positive negative day... I have a massive cyst on my right ovary which is causing some tenderness but I have three folicles nice sized ones in that ovary so apparently depending on how much the doctor will charge but apparently tommorrow the nurse is telling me how much it will cost but next week will be draining the cyst a week later a bt and if all good start injections.... SO WE CAN STILL DO THIS CYCLE woohooooo am sooooooo excited it means it's not a loss and she said my lining was nice and thick and my ovaryies apart from the rather large black lump looked great.
    So gotta stay on the synarel and hope for the best.
    Tantee: how frustrating chin up and at least you'll be able to do it but blegh crappy meds for another month hugs chick
    chekigal: have you got your results back yet?
