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?
