Airline - sorry to hear you didn't get any to freeze - nevermind its time to focus on you and taking it easy for the next couple of weeks minimum
Motherhood - I don't know about numbers but its sounds good that things are on the increase. My fingers and toes are all crossed for you
Loops - don't know how you are doing it - think I would have POAS by now!! Either way hope you are stil doin OK!
Tracy - GL in 2WW
Tantee - sorry to hear about your cancelled cycle - I am certain that must have been a tough decision. I feel for you hun as things sounds a bit rough at the mo. :hugs: hang in there.
Hope everyone is going well. I have my FX for everyone .
Just a quick question for you all. I understand that I need time off after and on the day of EPU but what about ET. Any suggestions? Was told initially by the clinic that some women go in their lunch breaks etc! What are your thoughts. Should I take time off after ET depending on what day it takes place i suppose?

For each and every one of you lovely ladies.
Motherhood here i come - My transfer was on a Saturday and I chose to take leave on Mon and Tues this time round (I work M-F). I really recommend it as I have been allot more relaxed this time and now only have 2 1/2 days till weekend - yay! I think it is really personal preference though, as you could easily go back to work after a transfer...
Hi Ladies. I've been away from the Forums since my first IVF cycle negative....needed to rest the brain for a while. Have since done my second ET (frozen) on a HRT cycle and this didn't work either. This Sunday I'm up for number 3.......while I can handle it mentally, physically, emotionally etc etc etc we are going to just keep pushing on through. This cycle i'm feeling pretty good. For the first time on my first blood test (day 12) my oestrogen was at 1200!! Normally at day 18 my 'o' is only at 800 so I'm feeling a bit more positive than normal.
Enough about me though. I'll catch up with everyone's stories now that I'm back on the forums. Good Luck to ALL!!!!!!!!!
Baby2bee - Looks like you and I have similar Estrogen levels. I just had my BT yesterday (Day 11) and my levels were at 1195. Am glad your feeling more positive. FX for you!!!!
Baby2bee - Not sure on a date yet. Am scheduled to have an US and BT first thing tomorrow so am hoping that I find out tomorrow. Will be sure to post when it is as soon as I know. Just hoping that everything is still going in the right direction. Things cant go backwards can it????
Motherhood ~ Im so happy your results were good and FX you have a great EPU!
Tracy ~ thanks heaps. Truly hope your little one sticks, FX!
Airline ~ thanks hun. Hope your little splodge sticks, FX and stickyvibes
Baby2Bee ~ Great to see you back and all the best with this cycle.
Nix ~ thanks, Im just so over getting a bad result on POAS that Im not too fussed about doing them now. Hope you are doing well.
AFM ~ Im afraid the POAS result yesterday was BFN, but AF is still not here WTF! Then I spoke to the nurse and she said I would need the money given in within the next couple of weeks for IVF in Dec if we wanted to do it and its gone up too. We just can't really afford it, so we are waiting until Feb now I was ok yesterday but this morning I broke down. DH was really good and gave me good cuddle. Im usually pretty strong but Im starting to lose it now - can't take much more heatache.
Sorry about the negtivity.
Loops12 - Oh babe, I am so sorry about you BFN and sorry to hear you won't be able to do another cycle till FEB.....i really really that you get your BFP naturally before then....so sorry hun, i can just imagine how you must feel and I just can't find those comforting words that would make it all better, but i will give you a great big
and will keep you in my prayers and wishes...please keep us posted.
Oh Loops, I'm so sorry to hear that. February seems a lifetime away at the moment. I know it's cold comfort but maybe you will be able to enjoy the festive season and who knows, a couple of drinks at a party plus a bit of loving might just do the trick! Take care of yourself and allow yourself to mourn this setback and I bet before you know it you'll be feeling a little bit like your old self again.
Oh Loops how awful, I am so sorry to be reading this, what a huge blow for you. Febuary is a life time away (((((hugs))))) Do you have to pay in advance for your treatment?
Motherhood - I've never changed schedule after ET except ensure day off on the day for first 2 cycles, but this cycle I'm off for a few days after. The concept was explained to me that anything that is aerobic will take away blood supply and concentration on what's happening in the uterus. So....if you're off, relaxing (not using time to do housework etc) then you're allowing body to look after one of the most important activities going on in there!
Loops - don't apologise for the -tivity...it's totally understandable. hugs, and thinking of you (I mean that)
Baby2bee - welcome back..even though I know there are other forums you'd rather be on...wouldn't we all!?
Coral - 'what's occurring?' (sorry I'm a "Gavin & Stacy" fan) your transfer was Sat...mine Mon. How you feeling? I should probably go check in 2ww
AFM - Poor DH still ill, but we've been playing cards, watching tv, talking (only a little about TTC for a change).
Airline and motherhood - i take the whole week off after each transfer! In saying that my work is fully aware of the 'situation and very supportive! Im very lucky!
Loops - im so sorry for the bfn! Fingers crossed for the natural cycle! Take the time to relax and enjoy the xmas period!!
Motherhood, I always plan it so that I take 2 days off (each) for ER and for ET. For most of my cycles they have both been in the same week so I've just taken the whole week off, which is nice! At my first ET my FS asked me if I was going back to work afterwards and I laughed at him!! As if I'd get any work done anyway! Also, that E2 level is similar to what mine was just over halfway through stimming last time, so it sounds like you're starting to get some action going on in there!
Loops, I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN. And having to delay your cycle on top of that! FWIW, I'm 5 months into a 6 month wait between IVF's and it has been nice to have a "normal" life for a while. I also started acupuncture to try to help IVF#4 along (my acu wanted me to do 4 months of treatments before our next IVF to get the full benefit). I know it's probably not the same for you (between #1 and #2 instead of #3 and #4), but when all seems bleak it's worth being reminded that there can be silver linings. Sorry if that sounds a bit glib. I'm not trying to trivialise your disappointment - I know the feeling too well to do that.
Afm, after spotting all day yesterday (unusual for me, but at least that gave me a 12 day LP instead of 11 ), AF arrived in full force at lunchtime today, so I'm officially into my last cycle of waiting for IVF#4. I need to get in touch with my FS to confirm we will change to the antagonist protocol as discussed previously and then it's just a countdown to the end of November!
And in the meantime I get to countdown to our new oven being delivered on Friday and then countdown to the oven being installed a week later! We got slightly singed (not quite "burned" as there were others far worse off than us) by the whole Kleenmaid fiasco (we have a Kleenmaid oven that stopped working just before they went bust) and have finally gotten around to getting a new oven after more than 6 months without one! And as an extra special treat we're getting a dishwasher too! I've never been so excited about kitchen appliances!! I'm considering the appliances a reward for waiting longer than I wanted to for our next cycle, since the extra waiting was what made it possible to afford them.
Its been a while since I've been here but have to admit Bellybelly helped me enormously when going through IVF previously. Which was successful and I now have a beautiful 10 month old daughter.
Time to do it again! I'm part way through a medicated FET cycle. I started progesterone pessaries today and will have my transfer on Monday. Fingers crossed!
Loops - sorry about your BFN hun. Keep hanging in there, we're all here for you. I had a couple of months off after my last cycle and although the wait killed me at first, it was nice to have a break both physically and mentally. Keep your spirits up through xmas.
B2B - welcome back - similar to you I tend to disappear from BB after my BFN! I'm back for my first HRT FET so I'd love to hear from you how yours went - the whole pessary thing has me a little scared. How did you manage it while at work??
J76 - yay for a new oven and dishwasher
Belle - welcome back!
MHIC - I take at least the day of transfer off, if not also the day after. For me it's more of a mental thing, so that I know that I'm doing all I can to help it work. But to be honest I'm not sure it makes that much difference. For EPU I take a few days to recover as generally it's pretty uncomfortable for me afterwards.
