    emerald - is there anywhere on the site that shows people's BFPs month by month? that would be good. it did make me sad, that there was only one in October...so many want it so bad, and all deserve.

    Airline - You are asking the wrong person......i don't know my way around this site.. i just know this forum and i had to be instructed into the 2ww forum...although i TOTALLY agree with you that there should be a section where people can post their BFP's month by month and in detail if they want eg, beta numbers, how many, genders delivery dates and anything else relevent. However, for now i try to remember month by month and post it in this forum to give us all hope that one day it WILL be us.... Your BT is soon ? have you POAS'd?

    Hey there...no I haven't. But DH has told me to go buy one tomorrow. I can't decide whether to buy one like last time, it just gives a line if there's any trace of pregnancy...as opposed to the ones that give a faint or strong line...if that makes sense. I also was rather silly and looked at the 'sticky' empty arms broken hearts....seen it before but it gets me every time.

    Hi girls just a quick note, I am supposed to be be busily writing reports.

    Coral- CONGRATULATIONS I wish you a very happy and health 9 months. Hmmmm I wonder if there counld be two bubs in there snuggling in and thats why your BETA reading was so good.

    Emerald- Less than a week to go, wow it must feel like you have been waiting forever!

    Mummawannabe- Thanks for the info about he medicated cycle.I hope things are going well. You must be getting very excited only three days to transfer.

    Airline- I will be thinking about you on Thursday. It is a hard to know whether to POAS or not. I think what I like about it is when you do it on the day or day before, it prepares you a little for the news. But then it does play with your mind a bit, because if it is negative you do everything you can to convince yourself it was a false negative.

    AFM still waiting for AF to show up, not even a hint of her around. I must have skipped her, although I cant see why. I am still very confused about it all.

    EmeraldStar - You can add me to your October wall of fame...... which is great because it basically doubles your stats! A lot of the ladies in this thread were posting in the TWW or came to visit so I didn't want to double post..... just realised that you must have missed the news.

    Wishing you all the best on your next cycle hon.... fingers crossed it's 3rd time lucky.

    I will be keeping and eye on all you lovely ladies and praying to see many more names with Coral on the Nov wall of fame.

    Hi to all you Girls,

    haven?t been on B.B for awhile im 35yrs hubby 30yrs have been ttc since Sep 08 have PCOS, Endo and have only had period 3 times so have now being seeing a fertility specialist since Aug, tried clomid which didn?t work and gave me ovarian hyperstimulation on my right side so then had to stop taking those tablets. So then had to wait 2 weeks & now im doing injections which I did for 6 days then had a scan & was told two eggs looked ready so was sent home with a ovulation kit & then went back in for a scan 4 days later & told they had gone told Dr the test always came back with nothing and he some people it doesn?t work for them, so was sent off for blood test to see if I did ovulate & I had and missed it which was a massive bummer......
    Dr then told me to wait another two weeks to see if I get period before I have another scan period come so I started injections again on day 3 then went back in for scan on day 6 and was told now the injections aren?t working so he upped the dosage & have to have scan 2m... Haven?t been having to many side effects but have put on 8 kilos which im hating & im getting really moody & no patience?s which is taking its toll on hubby.
    So over having scans every week to be told not working now so I think I want to tell Dr I want to go straight to IVF.
    So if any of you girls can give me your opinion if I should stick to what im doing or go to IVF & cut out all this other stuff as im not getting any younger & we want 2 kids and IVF could also take awhile ?????
    Starting to not cope and Hubby just keeps saying to stressing it will happen when it?s meant to, easy for him to say......

    Hey lovelies,

    I have not been on BB much lately - but had a quick scan and looks like BFP for Coral & mitf - fantastic news girls - that gives us some hope. I am so happy for you both - you must be ecstatic and probably still full of nerves - I'm guessing that is how I would feel.

    Hope everyone else is doin well, motherhood after all your worry I am glad to pop back in and see you have had EPU with some good results. FX for gd fertilisation now and for your ET.

    Sorry no other personals - I am being slack and not skimming back through all the pages.

    AFM - still pill popping - think I start synarel maybe on Sunday - still waiting for my schedule to come out.

    Have a gd week ladies, babydust to you all.

    So ladies here is the update....( sorry but i can't remember August and September BFP's ) but here is:
    OCTOBER WALL OF FAME: Lise and Mitf
    NOVEMBER WALL OF FAME: Coral73

    Motherhood Here I come - Great Result....GL for ET!!

    Coral73 - Let us know your results too!! Hope there's two for you!!

    Soupy - Sorry to hear your FS is still trying to work out your protocol, but hang in there and try not to stress ( and we all know thats easier said than done!) I would certainly go straight to IVF but that is just my opinion!! GL with whatever you decide. As for the weight...i have put on 8 kilos since i started and boy is it hard to get off...but for now i don't care much my priority is getting pregnant and i'll worry about the weight after birth...FX i get to that stage.

    Nix76 - Hello and good to hear from you!!

    AFM - still waiting...not long till FS appointment ( 9th NOV) and hopefully AF is not far behind...can't wait!!

    Hey MrsP hows things? Did you have your transfer?

    I had my DAY 20 transfer with a blastie last Friday, we only had two frosties and the first one they thawed went ok, the scientist said that it was at 98% of its cells. The transfer was fine and we went on our merry way on a beach holiday to relax for a long weekend.

    Sunday morning i woke to bleeding, i'd describe it as light to moderate, enough to need to wear a pad, but in the 36 hours I've been bleeding it would'nt have been enough to soak through a pad...at first i was excited because i thought it was implantation, but the longer i bleed this much the more I feel somethings gone wrong....its so sad...I'm sure most of you can relate to that feeling.

    I spoke to my FS who said it was defintely not good and that it wasn't the plan or to be expected. He said it may be a problem with my lining breaking away, rather than a problem with the embie, cos it was awesome. I was on Progynova building up to 3 a day and then at the DAY 11 scan the FS advised to up it to 4 per day for 4 days and then back to 3 a day....FS mentioned the reduction may have caused the bleeding, but shouldn't have. I haven't missed any doses of it either.

    Has anyone had anything similar happen? I'm now concerned that i have a lining problem, on top of being hypothyroid, and having endometriosis, and im so angry that it took until now to be discovered and we may have wasted a perfectly good blastie that took a lot of time and money and emotional and physical pain to produce!!!

    Sad and angry and getting fat to top it all off.............

    Talking News!!!!!

    Evening all,

    How is everyone? Sorry no persies as this is just a quick one tonight.

    AFM - Emerald Star, you can add me to the list of waiting for BT results!!!!! Yup, we had ET this afternoon. They tested the two only embies left for DH's Nasty gene and guess what????? They both came back clear and healthy. I couldnt believe it. the best thing was that the nurse was so excited to give me the results too So now were officially in the 2WW. DH has been so funny making me sit and rest etc lol.

    BT is due on the 19/11/09 however, we wont be here for it because we will be in Fiji. What they suggested this afternoon was that have the BT on the tues before we go and then do a HPT whilst were away. I still have to discuss this with the nurses, reason being is that doing the BT one the tues might give us a boarderline reading!!!! So we will see what they say/suggest.

    Mummawannabe- I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. I understand what you mean about wasting good embryos. I have been having problems with transfers and I feel by the time they get it right I will have no decent embryos. It is such a long, draining process. Big hugs to you sweetie.

    MHIC- Super news!!! Go you little embies!!!!! Rest up and have a great holiday.

    Evening lovely ladies,

    Mumwannabe, I know what you mean. I worry everyday about doing this FET, just in case none survive. Such a waste and we all know as we get older they don't get better. Chin up sweet.

    Motherhood, great news i hope those embies snuggle in nicely.

    AFM I finally heard from them. Levels were still low on Sat so no blood test tomorrow yay. Just on Wednesday and see how they are. Damn labby, jumped a fence and cut herself open so off to the vet to pick her up. You know $400 to stitch her up, vets nearly as dear as the IVF lol.

    Well sorry if I missed anyone, hope you are all coping in the heat. Make sure you all drink heaps, try to remember not to drink too much water, use juice cordial or sports drinks ... otherwise you will water down your blood to much, and that can be a problem in itself.

    :yeahthat:

    I wish I could put TTC out of my head long enough to focus on getting fit & healthy. Somehow, every time I get another BFN or cancelled cycle or delay for medical reasons, I gain another few kilos from the stress (& of course the chocolate and wine)
