[Lisa B]

Morning ladies,

Good luck to those in the TWW. My fingers and toes are crossed for you!!!!!!!!!

Juniper - My thoughts are with you. I hope those little embies are really sticky. You so deserve it babe!!

Jilly - I hope AF arrives really soon. It must be really frustrating

Trueblue - fantastic news to hear you are back in the game, you must be really happy.

AFM: I start syneral tomorrow. Initially I was overwhelmed by the idea of IVF and the drug schedule, but now I just want the show on the road.

Hey Guys

Sorry no personals today - Just trying to get by the TWW - BT on Monday, so not too long now to wait. Been feeling a bit naseous, but I hear crinone also has that as a side effect. Anyone else get itchy vagina after transfer? from the drugs? Or is it just me?
I have to get more meds later (stupid nirse didn't give me enought to last till Monday) so will ask them then.....

Wishing everyone great luck and pacience this week!

I've been keeping a low profile during the 2WW as I find it so hideous and stressful and this 2WW has been no exception. I have just got my BT results and got a BFN again, my 5th this year so far. I don't know what else to do, I feel like just giving this bloody lottery away, it's so unfair.
Goodluck to all you ladies and hope you get your BFP this cycle.

Hi Guys,

Just trying to get used to the whole personals thing...

Murraycod - thanks for the kind words... good luck for your TWW!

Lairdoz - so sorry about your bad news. I guess it does feel a lot like a lottery but I'm sure you'll win soon.

Loops - sounds like you had a good trip. Good luck with going au naturale!

babytruj - fingers crossed for a great BT result on Monday.

AFM - blood test yesterday came back fine. The nurse seemed a bit worried about the bleeding but I've got my ultrasound tomorrow morning so we'll see how it all goes. I'm stressing a bit that my lining will be too thin and they will have to cancel the whole cycle, but I guess I just have to wait and see.

Good luck to everyone out there in their various stages of... everything!

Lairdoz, I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear your news. I was waiting with a lot of interest to see how you went, and feel so bad that this embie did not "take". I will be thinking of you ((((hugs)))).

Thanks KitKat - I wish you all the best with your little one and hopefully I'll be in the BFP club again soon. My AF literally arrived 15 minutes after I got the call about the BFN which strangely then made me feel a bit better as it means I can start again soon. I don't want to think about how much this all costs.

Is it strange that I got my AF on the day it was due even though I was on 400mg of prog a day? I would normally get it today without any progesterone so not sure what the point of the progesterone is!!

Lairdoz, I'm so sorry to hear that. Was this a stim cycle for you? Sorry, I can't remember. If it was, I find that the FSH injections make my LP very short. The progesterone counteracts that. Plus, when an EPU is done the corpus luteum which normally produces the progesterone is damaged or doesn't happen (can't remember which), so you need the progesterone introduced artificially to give the embies a chance.

Thanks Juniper - it was a FET which is why I am so confused as to what's going on as I shouldn't have really needed progesterone but given I was on double dose and it didn't keep AF away I am now confused. I am seeing my FS next week but I am 100% sure I am going to be told it's a numbers game which frustrates me no end given how expensive this is.

Hi Lairdoz,

Re: Progesterone.

From what I have read on Belly Belly forums, progesterone is very important. Lower than 20 after ovulation is not good and in pregnancy lower than 30 is not good.

I request two P4 (Progesterone test) in my tww. On all my previous cycles my progesterone has been above 40 but my last cycle my P4 at 7 days after ovulation was 49 then at 12 days after ovulation it was 15. It was too late to start taking progesterone pessaries. For my next cycles I will be using Progesterone Pessaries from now on.

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best for your cycles and big hugs for those of you that have recently received not so great news.
