    Bunny- Yay for being PUPO!! I would be happy with 2 Morulas transferred at day 5... The fact that they were compacting and had made it that far is a pretty good sign if you ask me. Everything crossed for you hun Xx

    Beestrong- Well done on getting a fertilised egg!! We are all praying so much for you honey Xx

    Rai- How are you traveling? I bet your busting for BT results tomorrow!

    Juniper- Sooo I believe you will be 14 dp iui tomorrow! Will you be POAS? If not when is your BT? Saying lots of prayers for you too Xx

    AFM- my bleeding yesterday ended up getting really heavy (at least as heavy as AF) and continued to late yesterday arvo. By last night it started easing to more like heavy spotting and today is (sorry TMI) just pinkish tinged Crinone. I have no idea what on earth happened but I'm feeling like it can't have been good and would have 'flushed' my poor snowflake out. I'm hanging for clinic to open in the morning so I can call my FS.

    Jasmine, I'm so sorry to hear that, hun. Have you called your FS this morning? It's always heartbreaking when you feel like you didn't even have a chance because it was over too soon.

    Afm, feel like AF is on the way and pretty sure I don't need a HPT to tell me this cycle is another BFN... Called in sick for work (didn't have anything to do aside from one phone call, which I'll do from home, so manager said yes to me staying home). Didn't want to risk AF starting while I was at work. Shouldn't start today though because I've had a 17-18 day LP after my last 2 IUIs, so would be odd to have a 13 day LP this time. But I feel like she could be here any minute, so I'm all on edge about it... If that makes sense?

    Squinter on the FRER for me today (15dpo), which means it's just residual pregnyl and I'm waiting for AF... Not bothering with the b/t tomorrow since I know it's BFN.

    Jasmeen, I am so sorry for what you are going through, sending hugs your way.
    Rai, yaaayy, so excited for you, congrats hun
    Bestrong, Im glad the embie made it!
    Juniper, could it be just that the pregnyl is gone and the hcg is just starting to show? I think I still would go and have a bt
    Myturn, I hope you get the job and I hope you caught the eggie!

    AFM, I am taking a break, I wont be ttc for a couple months and definitely wont be having a FET but until November or December, I think, that's my plan anyway... but I still think I should have supplements to prepare myself for when Im ready to go for a FET, I don't know, tablets, tea, etc. Any suggestions?
    I went to the clinic this morning for a bt, and the nurse just called me, the hcg is 47, dropping very slow...
    Sorry in advance for TMI, AF was here just for a quick visit, my period normally goes for 7 days and this time was 5 days, only 2 days full flow and 3 days brown, just spotting, I never had a "short" period before...

    Juniper- We must have been posting at the same time. Are you sure it's just the pregnal? I think you should still have your BT.. Or at least POAS again in the morning to see if the line has gone or got darker Xx

    Bunny- I understand you not wanting to get your hopes up... But I'm still praying for good news for you Xx

    CatyO- Bugger about your HCG dropping so slowly. I'm not sure about supplements etc but I'm keen to hear what the others have to say cause I'm thinking I might try some supplements and acupuncture for my next FET.

    Thanks for trying to hold onto hope for me, ladies, but I've been doing this too long and I know it's BFN. By 15dpo the test line should be almost as dark as the control, so there's no way a squinter will end well. Even my chem pg had a decent line by this stage. Based on previous cycles, the line was the right darkness for it to be just the pregnyl. I had exactly the same result at 15dpo last IUI. There's no point getting up early (ie losing hours of sleep), driving to the city, paying for parking and making DH late for work just to confirm a BFN. I've started weaning off the prednisone this morning and have stopped the other meds.

    Jasmine, that's a lot for a FET! Is that before or after Medicare?

    Bunnyfeet, FRER = First Response HPTs. I think they used to be called First Response Early Result or something like that, so they're usually known as FRER in the various forums... Hope the 28 days passes quickly for you. DH worked in Perth and Port Lincoln (I stayed in Brisbane) for a year before we were married and I'd only see him for one weekend every month or two and it sucked. I hated being so far apart.

    CatyO, if you can afford it, I'd consult an acupuncturist specialising in fertility. They can be very effective at regulating hormones, etc, and helping you achieve the optimum conditions. They'll be able to recommend supplements based on your specific needs. I wouldn't worry too much about the short AF. It's probably because you're hormones are off kilter with the m/c. Hope the hcg continues to drop; it's always frustrating when it takes a long time...

    Juniper- Yeh if it's going to be that much drama I can understand you not wanting to bother with a BT.. And yes you are right after so long TTC you get pretty good at knowing when it's worked and when it's not
    Yep $3600 total is before rebates but we still need to have the $'s up front to start and the savings account is looking rather sad ATM! I think we get about $1400 back from Medicare. We pay for embryo glue and assisted hatching ontop of our normal FET fee... Does this sound about average once you take off the rebate?

    Beestrong- Well done honey!! We will certainly continue praying for you Xx

    Juniper- Oohhhh one more day till BT! I have a good feeling Xx

    Bunny- How are you traveling honey? The TWW killed you yet? Xx

    AFM- Still feeling very flat!! Looking forward to my FS appointment tomorrow so I can hopefully get some answers. Not sure when we will be emotionally, physically and financially ready to try another FET. Was adding up our bills last night and because we had a iui cycle, ivf cycle and FET cycle all in the last 2 months the costs have added up... Looking at my paperwork it's going to be about $3600 for another FET cycle and I'm just not sure that we can afford it just yet

    awesty, that sounds right. You have to have an appt with a nurse before you can start IVF with QFG. If you contact the clinic, they should be able to provide you with a fact sheet that outlines basic cost estimates. You can also find some estimates on their website.

    Jasmine, hoping you get answers.

    Bestrong, we always preferred to have more than one available for FET, but we only ever had 3 embryos to freeze (out of 5 fresh cycles), so our second FET we only had 1 to thaw and I was so worried it wouldn't make it (one 1 of the other 2 had survived the thaw), but it thawed without losing any cells (perfect thaw). Still BFN though...

    Bunnyfeet, it's still saying you're only a Registered User, which means I still can't send you a PM. Not sure if a mod can explain that for us? Or tell us who to ask for help? If we can't get to the bottom of it by today, I'll just put the name of the place in a post here and then delete it after you've read it.

    Afm, had some light bleeding last night (after a BM), but hasn't progressed to full AF yet. Still spotting though and feel like crap (crampy and, therefore, irritable)! Just want it over and done with for another month...
