But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.

    Yippee I'm first!

    I everyone. I hope everyone is hanging in there either sniffing, jabbing, DTD, or patiently waiting for you next cycle. Wherever you are at

    AFM. Just waiting for BT next week. No real news really. Studying, trying to distract myself.

    Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend

    hi girls!

    too many of us to do personals...sorry! i lose track!
    just an update, im on CD24 of 28 day cycle and i hate this stress! im starting to feel like if im waiting for a positive it will never come but I dont know how to relax! DP and I "baby danced" on days 11, 13, 14, 15, and 18 this month and im stumped if it hasnt worked! (getting swimmer results wednesday) I have had a lot of sharp shooting pains and my breasts feel bruised when i touch them but only around the edges especially near the armpit! the left one more so. I dont want to read into this too much though. Im finding it sooo hard to resist testing until wednesday! I have alot of think lotion white type mucous and feel like something is coming out aka AF but nothing there. What are your thoughts on this, is it wishful thinking? ive decided to approach the end of each cycle with the thought I have a 50 percent chance of being pregnant the other 50 percent being Im not. This way it doesnt sound so bad ahaha. IM GOING NUTS! this is the 6th cycle since my d and c after 14 months of trying.

    ME 21 DP 21-very much in love
    TTC#1 approx 2 years

    Hi All,

    Well EPU went well. Sorry I didn't make contact last night but I was in terrible pain. FS said my right ovary was the size of a fist and he expected me to have a bad night. He was right!!

    Good news is though that I got 11 eggs (that's 3 EPU's in a row with 11 eggs!!)

    The embryologist rang this morning and said 8 had fertilised, so that's pretty good. Now I have to pray the little ones keep growing and make it to blastocyst on Wed.

    Thanks for all your thoughts and wishes. You all mean so much to me.

    Ruth- I hope you are doing well today and are feeling a bit better. I know we always hear it from everyone here..but it's quality not quantity that counts. My friend got 3 eggs last time, 2 made it and she is pg from those 2..and at 42. I hope your little ones are going well today. Let me know if you need to chat.

    BDT- Not sure if you have posted. I'll check the previous thread now.

    Smithy- You are such a sweetheart looking out for me. I just adore you!! Thanks my friend.

    Well, I'm lying on the lounge at Mum and Dads feeling sore, but know it's for a good cause.

    Bring on my BFP!!!

    Have a good weekend my friends.

    Hugs Bel

    Hi Everyone - hope that you are all having a lovely weekend wherever you maybe.

    Bel and Ruth - Hope that you are both recovering well today and enjoying a little pampering. I am sending lots and lots of positive vibes to your Little Ones to keep on growing and dividing.

    BDT - how are you going today, hope all is well with you also. I am sorry but haven't checked through the last thread to see how you went yesterday.

    21andTTC#1 - I to get wishful thinking and check for signs of AF all the time. I think its only natural especially when we want that BFP so much. My DH and I have done the baby dance on days 9,11,13,14 and 15 this cycle - today for me is CD16. Try to stay positive and relax, although I know that is easier said than done. If you need to POAS go for it, I always tell myself NO don't do it every cycle, but by about day 24 I am usually at the Chemist buying a few tests. Just can't seem to resist. I shall keep my fingers crossed for you.

    A big HELLO to everyone else - I do hope that you are all doing OK and sending you all a great big Take Care Everybody.

    BEL- thats awsome I cant wait to start ivf ( IF NEEDED) which i think it is! it must feel good to actually SEE some progression! good luck and hope you get an early xmas present in the form of a BFP!


    JodieC65- Thanks for the response! yeah I am going to get a test tonight one with 2 in them of course! haha i remember last time i was pregnant ( we lost it though) i didnt get a faint line til day of missed period so I hate the feeling of dissapointment and then waiting another 4 days for AF! I do feel a lil dif at the moment although i think I feel this every month haha I honestly believe i have estrogen dominance as all the ovulation testers i use say i ovulate quite often and these test via estrogen levels so im going to get tested on friday but then again y do i have 28 day cycles every month, i therefore must be ovulating! bloody hell its annoying! good luck to you! half way through the cycle is the most painful for me (emotionally) waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting some more for any sign! let me know how u go! all i think about is getting those 2 lines for xmas.

    wouldloveabubba- Im glad to hear you are in a good mood! do you have any tips on trying to relax and not dwell on trying to get pregnant!

    anyway im off to get the DP and make him go into the chemist and get the tests- he does this all the time soo cute!

    Hi Ladies -

    I am new to BB and hope I am posting this in the right place - sorry if I got it wrong.

    I am having my first FET on 14/10, it is the first cycle after a stim cycle in Sep with a BFN.

    I had my 3rd scan on Friday, day 18 and have a 22mm folicle, good lining but still no LH surge. My FS gave me a trigger injection for Friday night and scheduled the FET for Tuesday. This is a natural FET so no other drugs yet or after the FET. Has anyone else had to have a trigger injection for a FET?

    Take care everyone.

    Hi girls,

    LNB- You are definately in the right place here and we are always happy to have another friend. I'm sorry I can't help you with your question. I've never had a trigger with FET. I'm sorry you got a BFN last cycle. Hopefully this cycle will be the one for you. Ask as many questions as you like. Someone always has an answer!!

    Thanks Possums and all my other friends for all your thoughts and kind wishes.

    Today is good news again.

    All 8 embies growing well. 7 are 4 cell and 1 super embie is 6 cells!!

    I'm feeling really good about this cycle. Still not too comfortable and in a bit of pain, but looking forward to Wednesday.

    Hope you are all having a great Sunday.

    Hugs Bel

    Hi All,

    Bel - that is fantastic news about your little embies, I am so happy for you. I must admit I have been wondering this morning how your fist size ovary is doing - wow that's kinda amazing, your poor thing. I hope it settles down before the ET.

    LNB - welcome to BB, I am sorry, but I am the same as Bel - have never had a trigger with FET. But I am sure that someone in here will be able to help. Lots and lots of best wishes and good luck for this cycle and your FET on 14/10, I shall keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Possums - thanks and I hope that you are doing OK and taking care of yourself.

    21andTTC#1 - how are you doing today? Have you POAS yet?

    Enjoy your Sunday gals - we are off to the IL's for Lunch - every Sunday - what a joy !!

    JodieC65 and Bel, thanks for your replies. I am bit surprised about the trigger for a FET but I'm just hopeful that we have a good thaw and beautiful embies on board.

    Bel - so exciting to hear about your embies. I also had swollen ovaries (19 egss with borderline OHSS) and found that heat packs helped ease the pain, I also ate bags of freckles which seemed to help as well Good luck for Wed.

    Happy thoughts for everyone else.
