Long-term TTC & Assisted Conception April - May 2010

Sorry, Loops to hear your news.

:leap: for you, Glenny. Told you it sounded promising!

Trubabe, you have some positive signs there. When is your BT due?

Hi to all the other ladies in here!

no bllod test due at the moment.doing natural cycles at the moment

Hi ladies,

How are we all going.

Loops really sorry to hear of your BFN. :(

Trubabe, you have all the pregnancy symptoms, when is your BT due ?

Hello to everyone else. :wiggle:

AFM: FET is booked for Monday.

Loops sorry for your BFN!

Well I caved and did a HPT! Couldn't help it. It's not looking good. One line EXTREMELY faint but there and one line really dark - if I was pregnant both would be really dark right? Is there still hope?? Official BT on Monday :-(
This waiting game is really awful!

K78, a faint 2nd line is still a BFP!! FX it gets darker over the next few days!! :crossfingers:

glenny, congrats! That's a great number! :thumbsup:

Trubabe, it's weird having those sign and still BFN. FX it turns into a BFP soon. Otherwise, I hope your Doc has some answers when you see him.

Lairdoz, I didn't know we could get Femara here? I hope you're responding well to it.

Afm, I've had the AF from hell the last few days. I go in for a blood test on Saturday morning (suppression check) and then find out what we do next from there...

Hi gals,

The HPT I took stated it could pick up pregnancy 7-9 days after conception. I am now 10 days after we 'conceived' and it came up negative... some people are saying its too early - though there is a whole heaps of differing information out there.....

Its weird that I can have a Pregnyl injection and still has a negative.... anyone able to shed any light on this?

Thanks for the encouragement girls. I really hope it is but I have to also remember that it may not be.
I've been researching the brand of HPT I did (Pregnosis) and it has a REALLY bad unreliable reputation of giving false HPT. So I have to eliminate the test from my mind and get a different brand tomorrow and try again. Geez, once you start this HPT thing it's hard to stop - understand now why everyone says DONT DO IT - WAIT TIL BT. Woops - should've listened! xx

Kitkat 72 two fertilised is still good hope it all works out for you
Mummawannbe Enjoy your break rest and come back when your ready

AFM EPU was yesterday they got 30 eggs just waiting for the call to say howmany fertilised. Due to high risk of OHSS FS wants us to wait till next cycle and then do a FET so any embryos we get will be getting frozen now just play the waiting game.
Good luck to all you ladies with what ever stage you are at

Hey K78 - I used Pregnosis too - so as I say, I think a faint blue line is much better than a BFN....

The research on Pregnosis is all over the place - not picking up pregnancies, giving false positives and in some cases being accurate.

The BT will give us the answer I guess.... Isn't it a long two weeks!!!! ;)

To everyone else - hope you are going well and FX for lot's of BFP's.

Wishingbaby - 30 eggs is awesome - FX - now have a good rest :clap:

Morning ladies

Hi to the newcomers hope your stay in here is short & sweet

Wishingbaby 30 eggs what a great result I'm sure you'll have plenty to freeze and I think its a better option to wait rather than transfer this month. When I had my EPU I got 20 and did a fresh transfer but now I know I should have waited my body had been through so much

chekigal & K78 the TWW is horrible and we change our emotions all the time don't give up try and stay postive not long to go now till your BT

Danyelle good luck with your FET I so pray this is your month looks like we should hopefully be in the TWW close to the same time

Juniper good luch with whatever comes your way next I know your a strong lady and everything you are doing is getting you one step closer

Hi to all those I've missed

AFM had my scan this morning lining is looking good and I've got 1 follie growing well and a second one coming through too. So start doing my POAS Sunday and hopefully will ovulate by Wed if not then another scan on Wed. Looks like DH & I will be busy over the next few days fingers crossed this is our time

Hi everyone,

I have been away for about a month now, and so much has happened!!

I to everyone I haven't seen before!!

Brunette - that is GREAT!! and TWINS too!! I'm so happy for you!! We'll have to do lunch again to celebrate!!

Renee - that is AMAZING - after all your effort, to have a natural one is amazing!! Congratulations!!

Loops - keep positive hun,I'm still of the view that if I had any special powers in life (which, although I took it badly, happens that I don't!!) you would be the very next BFP!!

AFM - well, taking it easy and waiting for my body to get back to normal so we can do our FET. My AF was supposed to come on Wednesday, but still not here yet, so will still be another few weeks away before FET. But with all the BFP's in here that I have read, things are looking great!! I'll hang around a little more often now!!

chekigal, I'm not sure which one you've got, but I get the FRER. Even though they say they can detect a bfp 5 days before AF is due, if you read the whole thing it gives you percentages and it's not 99% reliable (according to them) until AF is due. Some women get late implanters, which means the hcg isn't present 7-9 days after conception and therefore can't be detected. Others have their hcg levels rise more slowly than expected.

K78, I've always been told to stay away from the blue dye tests. FX that the new one you buy gives you a BFP too!

wishingbaby, wow, 30 eggs! :o I hope you're feeling okay and don't develop OHSS. FX for the fertilisation report!

terry, thanks hun. :hug: I've really been struggling this week. GL catching that egg!

Well ladies just a quick post out of our 30 eggs we got 12 fertilised so now just wait and see how many make it to the freezer, thank you all for you comments, I am resting as much as possible and just making sure I drink lots of water.

lots more good looking signs we'll see more bfp's in here woohoo go girls
afm: I don't think them testing could be for pregnancy could it I couldn't possibly be after being on the pill spotting for two weeks then a short medium to light AF for 3 days as well as being on the nasal spray I am tired my boobs are so sore the only days they stopped hurting was the three days of my "af" am tired been sleeping whenever I can and am semi bloated. I am trying not to think of the what if in like the millionth tiniest hope that I could possibly be pregnant. I know i'll just be heartbroken on tuesday when the nurse calls with the results of negative. it's mine and dh's birthdays this sunday monday so were being kept busy with that and building our new bed.
Hugs to everyone
Loops: what has mac said about no af yet?

Glenny-C: congratulations! This was on your first cycle, right? Best wishes for a H&H pregnancy!

K78 - your faint line sounds promising. If you had no preg hormone inside you, you wouldn't be showing a line at all, right?

Chekigal - GL . . .

Wishingbaby - 12 eggs fertilized --wow! That's awesome! Good luck that they all grow into strong little embryos.

Danyelle - good luck with your FET this Monday!

Terry - good luck with your follies and that you catch that egg!

Mum-2-be - here's hoping that AF arrives soon so you can get on with your next cycle!

Looops - very sorry to hear of your BFN.

As for me, I had my ET today. I only had 2 embryos, so I was deciding whether to transfer 1 or both. I found out today that both were "textbook perfect": 8 cells at day 3 with no fragmentation. The embryologist and my doc both strongly advised that I only transfer one, since with 2 great-looking embies there was a heightened risk of twins. It's funny - the second embie was only at 2 cells yesterday, while the first was at 4 cells. But apparently the second embie starting growing more quickly and by today had caught up with the first one (which was still growing well). I was told all signs were that it should make it to blast no problem. So they've transferred the first embie and hopefully will freeze the second one on Sunday. Now I just have to hang out until my BT on the 13th!

Hi all you lovely ladies!

Happy Friday!

Glenny_c - CONGRATULATIONS!! :dance: That's such wonderful news. Fx for a happy & healthy 9 months.

Loops - sorry hun that your test was negative :shakehead: hopefully the witch will show up soon and you can start again.

Trubabe - your symptoms sound promising... have you done another HPT? Fingers crossed for you!

Juniper - hope AF is calming down for you, you poor thing. GL for your blood test tomorrow.

chekigal - I hear you about the TWW! I think we can all sympathise. From my research, Pregnyl has a half-life of about 24-30 hours, so the amount remaining in your system roughly halves every day. If your trigger shot was 5000, then the next day would be 2500, next day 1250 and so on. If you did a HPT 10 days later, there basically shouldn't be any left in your system, but it is more than likely too early for a pregnancy to show up. Hope this helps?! Don't give up hope.

Wishingbaby - congrats on 12 fertilised!! Hope you're feeling OK. On top of resting and drinking lots of water, make sure you have a sports drink or two each day, and try and have a high protein diet (I've included a big glass of Sustagen Sport with milk each day in my diet).

Terry - glad to hear you're progressing nicely! Exciting times ahead for you and DH, eh?! ;) Fx for you this month, babe.

K78 - goodluck :crossfingers: for the 2nd HPT - they are evil, but I'm an addict! :redface: At least this cycle, I won't have a chance to use one - my BT is only 3 days after my last Pregnyl injection!

Mum-2-be - hope AF hurries up and arrives so you can get cracking on your FET!

Trueblue - Happy birthday for the weekend! I hope Tuesday comes around quickly, and puts your mind at rest.

KitKat72 - Great news about your ET today! Fx that the other embie keeps performing well and makes it to blast!

HI :hello: to anyone I've missed!

AFM - after the transfer on Monday, OHSS finally caught up with me on Tuesday! :doh: Was starting to get a little concerned by my rapidly-expanding girth, and lack of breath. Luckily its settled down again now, I've lost 3.5kg in 3 days! If only I could do that whenever I wanted... Now I'm starting to get a teency-weency bit impatient, BT is next Wednesday, but its not too long to wait, I guess. Hopefully OHSS won't rear its ugly head again in the meantime!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks for your encouragement again girls but I'm really feeling sad today. I did another test with the Pregnosis at 4am this morning - and again EXTREMELY faint second line like almost none!
So, this afternoon I bought a Crystal Clear test and did the test after work and it's a BFN. I've really lost all hope in getting a BFP. My husband keeps telling me there's still a chance but really, if I was pregnant, surely it would have shown up in the Crystal Clear test today??
BT not til Monday, god knows how I'll manage to distract myself this weekend.
Best wishes for all of you wherever you are at in your cycles. Sorry for no personals, just feeling sorry for myself..! SORRY!!
