    Hey everyone.

    Mrs P - how did your blood test go today?

    mitf - What were your lap results?

    AF arrived for me on Thursday night, so BFN... I did a blood test on Friday - I have read that you could have an early miscarriage, and I wondered if maybe we were actually pregnant...

    We're doing another cycle of IUI, and then I think we'll go onto IVF, but I am scared as I don't really know what it entails, and what to expect.

    Hi girls - confirmed BFN. So I have to wait for a month then the clinic has rec'd we go for another full stim cycle as we only have one frostie, and if it doesn't thaw then I'd still have to have another month break etc.

    Does every one else have to have a one month break? Wasn't sure if that was common or not. Apparently they are expecting that I will have a bleed shortly, but I'm not sure it will happen since I don't normally get AF unassisted. So that's all a bit confusing.

    I guess we're lucky to have made it to get something to transfer in our first cycle, but it's still pretty hard to take. Am going to really have to psych myself up to another stim cycle so soon.

    Sorry no personals today - need to have a few BB free days I think and then hopefully be back with a postive attitude.

    MrsP, Sorry to hear you go the BFN you expected. I've done back-to-back stim cycles this year. I did IVF#2 in March. AF started 3 April (day after BFN) and I started synarel again at 7dpo that cycle (6 May - long cycle due to delayed O). I just had to go in at 7dpo for a progesterone test to confirm I had O'd.

    Hi girls,

    Mitf - thanks for the luck! right back at ya!! Also you're right an early birthady present would be good too.....you don't know how much i'm praying for us.

    Loops12 - Sounds like you are on a different protocol to me...but our goals are the same! It will be interesting to read what we are experiencing with all the different protocols between you me and Mitf. I can't wait to get started on this journey now that i know i can share this with you guys....

    babytruj - hi! good luck with your journey and keep us posted. When will you start your next IUI? Maybe you will be on your 2WW with us in July?


    Love you girls and all your support for everyone is amazing!!!

    Everyone else in the 2WW

    Mrs P - so sorry to hear about your BFN. I hope you are doing ok xo

    Emerald Star - hanging out till Wednesday when I will finally have a set plan. I don't think it matters which protocol we are on. As you say the goal is the same and while the treatments may be a little different, they are essentially the same.

    Babytruj - waiting till Wednesday to find out my full results and next steps. I have had a couple of goes at IUIs and was a bit nervous at the though of IVF.... but we have now come to terms with it, because essentially we really want to start a family and we are willing to do what ever it takes.....I am now actually really looking forward to it and the promise it holds. Besides it can't be that bad thousands of women are willing to undergo it every year. Good luck with your treatment, if and when you are ready to head to IVF, I am sure everything will fall in to place for you.

    Hi girls!!!

    We moved house and I just got back on the internet today.

    We have our first natural FET tomorrow. I suffer from blood clots, and so tried taking aspirin to assist things. Turns out I am allergic to aspirin. So fingers crossed no clots or this FET. Has anyone heard of alternatives to aspirin for clotting? I read somewhere about Apple Cider Vinegar, but prob too late to begin taking that for this FET.

    Come on little blastie stick!!!!

    Hope you are all well and will be back in here for personals shortly.

    MrsP, looks like I'll be joining you for another stim cycle too. We're keeping our one snowbaby on ice. I'm taking the next cycle off and aiming for EPU in either July or August.
