Thanks girls for thinking of me today! Just had accupuncture and now on the way to the clinic for transfer. Haven't heard from the lab so I'm hoping our snowflakes have thawed ok.
BBL for personal xx

[myturn]

Yay jasmine!!

Afm - nurses couldn't find anything happening this morning (and yes, both nurse had a look...) I found done EWCM this morning though... And told them that....
... However bloods have said I have surged after all and transfer will be Thursday.

Funny that my explorations of mucus was saying positive, but ultrasound couldn't see anything AND seratec came up negative ish too

kinda excited for the first time.

Hi and welcome, PositivelyTTC! I think they make us wait 16 days because they'd rather have AF tell us the cycle was BFN instead of them having to do it... I always test at home and I don't bother going in for the b/t if I know it's BFN.

Miss.B, sorry to hear that, hun. I hope the cycle can be salvaged (without compromising it's chances of success).

Afm, cramps, blah, refuse to test... Thinking I need to wait another month before doing another IUI. I don't feel like I've made enough (any?) progress with my weight and I've got another issue or two going on that make me think I should wait another month before going back on the prednisone/clexane/etc. Diet still needs a lot of work, but been doing well with the sugar - had 3 soft drinks this cycle (instead of one daily) and sweets about twice per week (again, instead of daily). Need to cut it back further, but I feel good about my progress because it's a lot better than I did the first half of the year. Haven't been game to use the scales because if I haven't lost anything I'll get discouraged and fall off the wagon again. Better to keep going in ignorance... These are good changes and they're worth making even if I don't lose weight with them...

Sure can! You're on today's list now.

[nothing2lose]

Good job Juniper!! If you cut out the grains I promise you it will make a big difference!! Also good for endo.

I feel like I have been cramping all freaking month I had bad ovulation pains for about three-four days. Now I have been cramping again and backache for the past two days . Last night it was really sharp pains in the right hand side.

Over it already and AF isn't due for another week. Blah...

[PositivelyGTC]

Well done Juniper you should be very proud you are doing really well

Nothing to lose...I had similar to what you are describing 8 - 10 DPO it was only on the right side and were sharp stabbing pains no clue what it was

AFM a few of hours ago I started cramping much like period pain and lower backache but AF not due for at least two more day I'm crossing everything for a BFP

[Jasmine00]

MyTurn- Bugger about your lining only being 4mm but as you said you are only CD10.. Plus a lot could change over the next few days. My lining was so thin it was not measurable on CD 15.. But by CD 20 it was 8.7mm! When is your next scan honey Xx

Juniper- As the others have said you are doing really well to have made those dietry changes. You know your body better than anyone else so if you feel as though you need another month before jumping back on the iui bandwagon than that's probably the way to go Xx

N2L- don't you just hate the TWW!! Cramps can be a good sign so I'm going to pray that what you have been feeling is a little embryo getting snug Xx

PositivelyTTC- Same as for N2L.. Cramps can sometimes be a good sign if they are not accompanied with bleeding. What meds were you on for your iui? Xx

AFM- Accupuncture done and I don't go back now till after my BT.. Is this normal??
For those who are serial POAS-aholics can you offer some advice? I am thinking about 'testing out' my Pregnyl shots as I have two packs of FRER in the cupboard and DP really wants us to test ourselves before the BT so that good or bad we don't have to hear it over the phone from the clinic. Sooo when should I start testing to confirm that the Pregnyl is gone (had my last shot yesterday). I was hoping to test to confirm that it's gone and than POAS again the morning of BT.

Kel, I've always assumed 24 hours after the darkest OPK.

Emma, FX the time passes quickly.

Afm, I'm starting to worry about this trend of shorter cycles. I've had a 32 day cycle my entire life and suddenly I'm getting 30, 29, 28 and now 27 days. I desperately hope it's just because of the medicated cycles we've done recently, but I'm worried it's the beginning of the end...

[PositivelyGTC]

Good morning Ladies,

Another day has dawned which brings with it new hope

Juniper - dont read too much in to the shorter cycles likely it's just the med's when you see women in their mid to late 40's having babies there is always hope for us. Oh what I would do for a glass of red wine!!

Kel - when we have used the OPK as soon as I see the line is the same as the control line we go for it for at least 3 days, every bit has to help

MissB - all the best hope that lining starts to thicken up beautifully for you and that folli does as it should - i know this probably sounds a little weird but seriously find some quiet time and talk to your body tell it and visualise as you do what you want it to do. Our minds are stronger than we think if you think it long and hard enough your body can and will respond. Look at Circle + Bloom website for more on this mind body relationship I started using it this cycle and love it

Myturn - GL for tomorrow, all the very best

AFM - cramping I had yesterday is gone, feel heavy and full below though and lower backache. Usually I am Miss moody days before AF however I feel really good, i feel on top of the world and no chocolate cravings either. Officially my TTW ends tomorrow I counted and have 4 POAS tests at home so tempted to do one tomorrow but also so afraid so not sure will see tomorrow morning. Have an Acupunture appt this evening

Wishing you all a lovely day and GL with whatever you are doing and wherever you are in your cycle

[juniper76]

Juniper - dont read too much in to the shorter cycles likely it's just the med's when you see women in their mid to late 40's having babies there is always hope for us.

Thanks, but unfortunately, with my DOR, I have the ovaries of a woman in her late 40's and early menopause is a very real threat...

[nothing2lose]

The thing about women that age conceiving is that it is the strong exception, not the rule.

I saw a FS last week who said the average 42 year old has a 1-2 percent chance per cycle of getting UTD. IVF raises it to five per cent.

Sucks basically

[Jasmine00]

Juniper- Hope you enjoyed your wine last night. I have no idea about shorter cycles... But I'm much the same, if I'm not on a medicated cycle I'm lucky to get 3 weeks between periods.

MissB- The HCG injections after EPU / Ovulation are not 'trigger' injections.. They are like a booster injection. According to my FS they support the Corpus Luteal cyst left on your ovary after O and therefor help increase progesterone. I am apparently having them along with the Provera, Crinone and pessaries to try and prevent early bleeding.
I'm crossing everything that the increased dose of Progynova helps thicken your lining. I wonder why they cancel your cycle if it's an active follie on your ovary? Clinics are so different cause this FET cycle my FS was trying to encourage my ovaries to produce at least one follie. But I guess different FS's have different ways of doing things. Anyway praying like mad for you honey!

Beau- GL with your BT tomorrow.. I'm praying that your lining is thickening up nicely too!

MyTurn- One more sleep till tx.. You must be getting pretty excited to have your snowflake on board.

MrsOM- Don't you hate it when the only time the witch is late is when your willing her to arrive!

PositivelyTTC- How are you sweetie? Hope the cramps have calmed down.

N2L- How are you feeling? Hope your cramps are easing too.

Kel- My understanding is that you O a day or so after the surge. I would be BD for the next few days just to be sure.

AFM- Started getting some light cramps this morning but nothing too bad and still no bleeding. Effects of my massive amounts of Progesterone are well and truly kicking in. POAS this morning in an attempt to 'test out' the Pregnyl. There is obviously a second line but no where near as dark as the control line. Think I will do another tomorrow as it should be lighter and then I will test again next week before my BT. I know I'm naughty for testing early but I know by next week I will be dying to be put out of my misery.. If its a BFN I would rather just know and deal with it than anxiously wait for the clinic to call!!
