Got Their BFP in October :confetti:
:dunno:

Vic, the numbers game sucks. Knowing that it's possible to get pg, if only the right egg and right sperm would get together, is so frustrating. In some ways it would be easier if it weren't possible, but then I guess we'd be stuck with IVF or nothing, so it would also be worse in other ways. I had someone suggest to me that we go on BCP until we're ready for our next IVF, but I realised that I can't quite give up the hope that maybe, just maybe, we'll get that miraculous BFP while we wait... (Lol, of course, then there's the other 50% of the time that I want to throw in the towel and walk away from it all, but I couldn't torture myself so thoroughly if I weren't alternating between those 2 extremes, could I?)

W&D, I'm sorry to hear AF showed up.

Miloro, I wasn't sure if you were definitely calling it AF or not, so let me know what you're counting as CD1. FX for a successful FET for you!

Afm, heavy, heavy, heavy AF kept me up most of the night, but finally eased in the early hours. Thank goodness it's Saturday, so DH let me sleep until 11am, so I got about 5 hours. It seemed to ease around 5am, but that's when DD woke and started crying - turned out she'd had a nappy blowout and we had to change her clothes and sheets, so I didn't get to bed until 6am. She's had another one this morning, so I'm guessing she has a bit of an upset tummy. She seems otherwise okay, so we'll just watch what she eats and keep an eye on her temperature...

Hi guys!
Just really quickly, I started Provera 10 mg yesterday morning and had my second tablet this morning. Since around 8am I have been getting some AF type cramps that REALLY hurt and I was just wondering if it is normal or not...

Hi Everyone, I had blood test yesterday, I have no luck, and it is BFN. As my AF become a little heavier on Thursday night, I know this cycle will fail again. Although I did not expect much for this cycle, but I am still very upset because I disappointed my husband and I felt it was my fault.

Juniper, I know it is a horrible feeling for BFN, I strat feel like loose the hope and I can't see when I will have the BFP. Are you going to do the next cycle in November? I hope you will success in this coming cycle.

Vic, I am sorry to hear that, but hope the egg quality will be good.

I am going to see my FS on this Tuesday and then I will plan for the next cycle.

:hug: rosemarry - try to remember it's not your fault, things just happen. It's really hard I know, but try not to blame yourself. Have a good cry and hopefully the FS will have something new to try when you go to your appointment this week. Look after and be kind to yourself xxxx

:comfort:

I'm really sorry Rosemarry :( :hug:

It's really hard and it hurts so badly, but as Myturn said, it's not your fault. Try to remember that.

Be kind to yourself, maybe pamper yourself a little. I really hope the next one is the one that works for you.

Take care x

Jo, sorry, I can't help with that. I've never used provera. However, I know progesterone can cause cramping, so it may just be a side effect?

Rosemarry, I'm sorry to hear the b/t confirmed the BFN. :hug: It's normal to feel like you've let down your partner (I'm sure we all feel that way, I know I do) but the other ladies are completely correct when they say it is NOT your fault. You did nothing wrong. The outcome of IVF usually boils down to luck and no-one can make it a success - we just do as much as we can and then hope we get lucky. When you're ready, let me know what cycle day you're up to for the list.

As for our next cycle, I'm having a long hard think about what we want to do. I suspect November may be too early (for egg quality), but I'm worried January may be too late (for endo). I've probably got about 3 weeks to work it out or it will be too late to do November anyway. I just need to be clear in my head about protocol options and find out how receptive my FS is to trying something different. If he digs his heels in about wanting to do the long synarel protocol, then I will also give some thought to going elsewhere, because I just don't think that's the best protocol for DOR. However, if he surprises me and suggests (or is receptive to) antagonist, then I think that could be a good starting point for coming up with a plan that we are both comfortable with.

December to split the difference Juniper? (Ps apparently that's when the really, really ridiculously good looking women are cycling ;) )

Arohanui, I think you need to have written 50 posts and been registered with BB for more than 30 days. You might be able to bypass those requirements by paying for a platinum membership though? I do remember it felt like it took forever to reach 50 posts...

thank you for getting back to me x

hi everyone have a question I started the pill on sat last week as i had to before i start injections. i had my period one day early but had sore breasts and metalic taste in my mouth before my period i took two pregnanct tests negative. I still have metalic taste in my mouth and my breasts are large and sore i am wondering if it is the pill. however i have used this pill before and had no side effects like this my breasts are so sore and big which is not normal for me once my period has finished and wonder if i do a pregnancy test will the pill interfere? Its so wierd dont understand it at all?

Arohanui, I don't think the pill will interfere with a pg test. If you have the hcg hormone in your urine, the test should pick it up. Have you asked your Dr or pharmacist about the side effects?

N2L, lol, I guess I'm not one of the ridiculously good looking women then. I'm pretty sure there's a sign up in my FS's office saying he's away in December (I'll double check on Tuesday). I think with my cycle timing looking the way it is we'd be getting to ER at the end of the month, so it wouldn't work with the clinic/day theatres Christmas shutdown anyway. I don't know if January is an option; it might be.

[/QUOTE] everyone on here is so nice i am so glad i found this forum it is going to help me so much through out ivf journey big thank you again[/QUOTE]

I feel exactly the same!! I found this amazing forum while googling Puregon and I am so glad I did!!! The ladies here are all so wonderful and supportive, only today I was telling a friend about this forum and how it is such a relief to be able to ask questions and know that I am probably not the only one who has ever experienced it!!!

I really hope that all the wonderful women in here get that BFP, because I couldn't imagine a nicer, more deserving group!!!! Sorry if it sounds corny, but I feel so much more at ease with everything now (even though I have my freak outs) and the show of support for each other is just amazing!!!

:loveshower::loveshower::loveshower:

Thanks for Myturn, Nothing2lose and Juniper, I cried for these two days. I think all of you are right and I should stop to blame myself, maybe I just need lots of luck. I will get better and stronger soon.

Juniper, have you tried to use "Elonva" injection, my FS told me this new method only start to be used from the end of last year in Australia. I used it this time, I had 12 follicles and 8 embryos, and I had day 5 transfer for two embryos, although I did not get pregnant, but this is a big improvement for me because I never had 8 embryos and I only had day 3 transfer in the previous three cycles.

Rosemarry, no, I haven't tried that. My last stim cycle was in 2010, so it wasn't available then. It's good to hear it worked so well for you. I'll add it to my list of questions, thanks.

*edit*
I had a look at the PBS website and there is a weight limit condition for prescribing elonva, which would (currently) make me ineligible.

I had light bleeding (like heavy spotting) at 14 & 15dpo when I was pg with DD. If it's implantation, you should be far enough along to test now. You're 15dpo, yes?
