Krikkit - when is your BT scheduled? I wouldn't give up hope till you have a confirmed BFN BT or AF arrives. My sister's AF was late on a natural cycle and she got a HPT BFN, then a couple of days later getting a HPT BFP. GL and FX that your body just isn't sending the right signals yet. Also, I know what you mean about the pressure. We decided not to tell most people we are doing IVF. When friends ask how we are going we just say we are saving for and thinking about moving to IVF in a few months so they stop asking.
Hi Mitf
My BT is scheduled for Monday the 13th.
It could still be early days, I am tired (exhausted actually) But I am just putting it down to the trauma of the EPU and x2 aneasthetic.
Our friends and family know and they know what part of the cylce we are upto, I think next cycle (if we need it) I may keep it to myself and pretend we are having a break for a month or waiting for the DR to "figure out what to do next" - that or gaffer tape my mouth shut!
You're too early! POAS is so evil! I've still got everything crossed for you, and sending you
DH and I kept some things secret during our first IVF stim cycle, but still about a dozen people knew where we were at, and it is a lot of pressure. Don't be too hard on yourself, I know I have trouble keeping a secret, especially when IVF can be so consuming.
I have found that each time we've gone in for another FET, we've told less and less people. My mother can be particularly tiresome with all her questions and advice, so now I only tell her when we have 'news' to share - so far it's been to let her know that the FET didn't succeed, but she has no idea when the next one is, and won't be told until after the TWW. She was excrutiating during the stim cycle, and cared more about me getting pregnant (read: giving her grandchildren) than the fact that I had OHSS.
Don't get too down yet - even if this cycle doesn't succeed (touchwood, you're too early to know!), you will cope with it, because you've come this far and everyone in this thread is strong and resilient. And we'll be here to give you a big whenever you need it.
Now, stop poas and wait another week before getting worried!
Here I was thinking my mum was the only one driving me up the wall.
She continually refers to the non existant baby as her baby and is buying me more baby clothes that I have hangers.
I know it could be too early, my hubby called our clinic (with out me knowing!) - he was worried too and told them I POAS and it was negative, they said its too early and not to worry - I have to wait one more week.
I think next time around I will be keeping it all to myself and hubby and not sharing where we are upto on our journey.
There should be a permanent thread on BB to talk about our mothers. My mother booked an overseas holiday with a return date in October 09 because she wanted to be back in Australia 'when' the baby was born - this was all on the proviso that I got pregnant on our first cycle back in January, which I didn't.
Krikkit - it is definatelty too early. Your body has barely had a chance to register if it is pregnant. My fingers are still crossed for you and sending you lots of Sorry to hear you are exhausted. Try to stop thinking about it for a few days. Get DH to give you a nice massage and get a couple goods night sleep - (although I know how hard this can be with that TWW clock ticking at the back of your brain).
Krikkit / Seph - fortunately my mother isn't too bad and hasn't bought me any baby clothes /schedule her holiday around me. It is my siblings that I have to worry about! I was still coming to terms with my first IUI BFN and my brother was on my case making stupid comments and kept offering me wines, coffees etc at a family function. I deliberately had a camomile tea to keep him guessing!
whenever you need it.
