    JCM, Bec is right, probably the earliest you will detect HCG with super sensitive HPT is 10dpt (of a blastocyst). Also urine is a pretty bad detector of early HCG, blood is much better. Don't give up!

    Glad you found the thread Hayley, great result and good luck!

    hi girls - just popping my head in. I've been in the TWW thread - until today - AF has arrived. I'm feeling very sad and upset at the moment.

    I'll catch up on personals next time. Hope you're all doing well. I'll be hoping to do a 2 x embie FET in December and looking forward to sharing the next leg of the journey with you all.

    Hi everyone,

    Mrs M, hope you have a great undie party, sounds fun. GL for your BT tomorrow

    Kaydee, how frustrating , hope your BT on Friday gets you closer

    Ruth, glad to see you back, sometimes a time out is good. I am hoping AF arrives tomorrow too so I can start on the pill for a stim cycle in Jan. Bring it on Jan. I know how hard it is to tell the family. My first few cycles I told absolutly everyone, friends, work, event the check out chick at my local Coles. But 12 months down the track and no luck it has been really hard to answer their questions. This time round only DH parents and my partent will no, no one else. I hope your family support you, as hard as it is telling them, at least they can support you in your grief. GLwith you Dec FET, this is the one for you. Bring on Dec for you!

    21, good news re DH's test, and good luck with the urologist

    Wishingbaby, hope your trigger went well, good news on the follies, have fun BD, hope it brings a BFP

    Sara, good news re you BT and GL starting FSH tomorrow

    AFM, didn't POAS this morning, holding no hope, but very happy as expecting AF tomorrow making it a 30 day cycle (so much better than the last 44 day cycle). Which means I can start stims 2 weeks earlier than I had originally hoped. YAY.

    Just hanging in there, trying to remain positive. Sending you lots of positive vibes. Hugs

    Hi BDT - thank so much. I have to say, it really helps having you girls around for support on days like these. Not sure if I have to do the BT on Monday. I'll check with the clinic tomorrow. Good luck to you too - it sounds like a good plan to do a down-reg over Christmas (I'm sure it will go really quick for you).

    Hi Everyone, hope that you are all well today.

    Smithy - just wanted to say again, that I am so very sorry for you. Hope that you are going OK

    Mel - So sorry to hear that AF has arrived, how are you going? So glad that you are already looking ahead to December. I have always hated having to have the BT after getting AF, sometimes I used to wonder what was really the point at I knew it was a BFN, but they always used to tell me that it was just to make sure that all levels were at zero. Hang in there chicky.

    Mrs M - hope you enjoy your undie party and good luck with the BT tomorrow. Not long now.

    Wishing Baby - hope your trigger went well and you are DP are enjoying a little BD time. Have fun and sending you lots of positive vibes for this to be your month.

    BDT - glad that you are also hanging in there and remaining positive. Sending you a big hug also.

    JBM - hope that your TWW is not driving you too insane - Good Luck.

    Kaydee78 - hope that you get your LH surge - fingers crossed for you.

    21 - glad to hear that your DP bloodwork is OK, best of luck with his visit to the urologist.

    Ruth08 - so nice to hear from you. Wishing you all the best and sending you a big hug for your FET next month. Also good luck with telling the family, sometimes that is the hardest part of all - thinking of you.

    Sara69 - good luck with starting your FSH. Hope it all goes well for you.

    Grub17 - good on your little embies, that is fantastic news. Keep growing little ones.

    Hayley - well done to you also, hope that your little embies are growing well also.

    A big hello to everyone else, thinking of you all and sending everyone lots of positive vibes for whatever it is you are doing this cycle. Take care everybody.

    AFM - well AF arrived yesterday (so a 26 day cycle - a bit more like normal after the stim cycle in Sept). Just going to keep on trying naturally until the new year and then go back to FS to see if there is something else we can try.

    All you lovely ladies I am so sorry to see you are still in here. Have had an extended break as my 10 weeks of working full time ended up being 6 months. In that time we had our lovey holiday to day dream island, but my dad also passed away. DH has asked me to start the treatment again and will probably look at starting again after christmas so I may see you all in here again, but hopefully you will all be gone by the time I get started.

    hi all, i'm so happy atm but can't find my hubby on the phone. so you guys are the first to know... well i did tell the dog but she wasn't that impressed.

    just rang the clinic and all of our 8 embies are doing well. we have three two cells; one three cell and four four-cell embies in the googley egg cooker! yay. i'm so relieved because i was paranoid we would have no growers.

    the embroyologist said going on that growth rate a saturday transfer was a definite goer. phew. so i ring back tomoz to get the new numbers and some more details.

    i know this may sound strange, but having never ever been pregnant (at least to my knowledge), just the thought of a little joint dh and me making cells is really exciting. it can be done! lol.

    how did your poas go dreamtime? was it this morn?

    sending these to all and to my babies:

    Morning lovely ladies, just a quick one as have to run off to a meeting.

    My POAS this morning was a BFN, for one small moment it looked like a second very very faint line, but I am kidding myself. I am 11dpo today, using Lullaby Conceptions 10iu so if there was HCG there, it would have shown up. Oh well, trying to think positive that at least we are so lucky to have IVF as a chance. So now hope AF comes quick so I can start pill popping and get into the next cycle.

    Hayley, great news re your embies, hope they progress wonderfully, grow embies grow, and great to have all 8 powering along!

    Saph, welcome back, hope your time back in here is very short

    Buliej, hope you are doing ok today

    Kaydee, anything yet?

    JBM, what will power you have to wait until Sunday, hope it is so worth it with a fabulous BFP

    Mrs M, good luck with your bloods on Friday, not long now

    Gotta run ladies, have a great day, hugs xx

    Possums: Hope you get your miracle this cycle.

    Babytruj: Hope you are having fun in London.

    Mels77: Hope you are surviving the TWW Ok.

    Kaydee78: Hope BT and FET go well.

    JBM: Goodluck in your TWW.

    Mrs M: So sorry to hear about your friends accident hope you are feeling a little better and not stressing too much.

    Neptune: Hope Af arrives soon so you can start with your next cycle.

    KellyD: Hope you are surviving your TWW sending lots of sticky vibes.

    21andTTC#1: I know it is frustrating never knowing how long a cycle is going to be, I have PCOS so it is always happening to me, but hang in there it will sort itself out soon enough.

    BecD: Hope this last attempt works for you.

    Smithy: CONGRADULATIONS on your BFP

    Sunflowers: Hope your BT went well

    B1105: Welcome and congrates on your BFP

    Babydreamtime: Hope all is going well

    Grub17: Welcome, 8 fertilised is great.

    Sara69: Welcome hope this IVF cycle goes well for you.

    Saph 204: Hoping all is well and that you have better luck after your break.

    Kahlan, Spring, Wouldloveabubba, Mrs P Hope everything is working out for you all

    If I have missed anyone I am sorry but like I said before it has been a while since I was here.

    AFM: Had and internal US with FS today she said my lining was looking really good, and I have a 17mm follicle in my left ovary and another follicle in my right ovary that was a little smaller, so anyway she was happy with that so I am now going to trigger tonight with Pregnyl 5000 again then another BT on Monday and Booster Pregnyl 1500 shots next tuesday and Friday so it means DP and I have to BD like crazy over the next few days. FS also said there was a possiblity of Twins which I really wouldn't mind but I will also be just as happy if we managed to get one so fingers crossed and this is the cycle for us.

    Hi everyone!

    WOW there are so many newbies!
    just an update, my DP got his bloodwork back and everything is wonderful! perfect thyroid and testosterone and a few other things, so its just the stupid sperm! I pretty much begged the doc for a fertility specialist but he insists they will just refer us toa urologist because of DP problems but doesnt the FS deal with that? I dont get it! anyway I guess we will go and exhaust every option with the urologist first and will give us time ti save for IVF/ICSI! good luck all!

    smithy - Hon I am so sorry Sending you my love xxx

    Lisa- That is brilliant news!!!!! Will be waiting with bated breath for your beta
    Hayley - yep crinone is a b8tch but its better than the pessaries!!! Will keep my fingers crossed that your embies last the distance and you get some to freeze.

    Have my BT and scan tomorrow and if they are okay I will have FET next Friday. Im a little conflicted -If I wait to have the transfer on the following Monday I can have my FS who I love and has been with me all the way but I will find out the results on the day of my work xmas party and wont be able to drink. If I have it on the Friday I dont have as long to wait but it will be a different doctor, possibly one I havent met before. I need to decide tomorrow, I think I will go for the Friday, just need to find out who the FS is going to be!
