nire - As silly as it may seem....I quiet enjoy the process and the possibilities it may hold. Don't focus too much on the negatives. The only thing I hate about the whole process is the COST, and medicare should cover at least 80%!! That way the financial pressure and stress would be eliminated and maybe more of us would be more relaxed and receptive to the whole process...less stress more BFP's!
nothing2lose & myturn - you guys make me laugh......but remember alot of us thought it would never happen for us...it did....and we are back!So always look at the next one as that could be the one! yay!
AFM- just researching the net...looking for ways to get better results, however I was thinking today, that usually I get at least 4 fertilise and we always try to get to blast and I always end up with 1 or 2 by day 5....this time I am gonna tell FS that i would like to put the ****tier looking ones back in on Day2/3 transfer and the rest get to blast and freeze.
QUESTION FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD BFP:
What was the less likely egg you got BFP with? ( i hope that makes sense)
emerald - not sure if this is the info you are after, but both times i got a bfp it was with a day 2/3 embryo. one was 8 cells, one was 6-7 cells. unfortunately didnt work out, but a bfp is a bfp. i have since had 3 blast transfers that havent even registered a blip on the system. i am seriously considering going back to 2/3 day transfers too.
Andie78 - I have had 8 fresh cycles with 1 BFP. All have been blast transfers.....I'm thinking of trying something different....well i know I can get to blast, because i have been left with either 1 or 2 each time and always transferrred what was left.....( 6 out of 8 times it was x2) not very good odds, if blasts are the way to go....thats why i want people to answer the question for me, just so I can get some stats...and a BFP is BFP! (although i am sorry for the m/c)
I have been silently stalking you all and trying to work out if I belong in here or not (please let me know if I'm not).
DH and I have been TTC since April 2010, last year we went and saw a FS where it was determined that while DH swimmers are relatively fine, but I have poly-cystic ovaries. I tried clomid for 6 months, which worked but still no pg. We then put actively TTC on hold until after we got married, and last week we went back to see our FS. Forms have now been sent off for me to be put on the waiting list to have a laparoscopy done to see whether my tubes are clear etc. FS also thinks I may have endometriosis as I have started getting bad period pain ever since I went on clomid. Hopefully I don't have to wait too long, waiting sucks!
Good luck to everyone wherever you are in your cycle.
ETA: Nire! So sorry to see you still TTC!

Treenie, hi and welcome! GL with the lap. I had my second one last month. I hope you don't have to wait too long.
Vic, I've already told you our plans for BD before the FET. Last time we thawed 2 embryos and only 1 survived; this time we only have 1 embryo. Do you know if your embies were frozen using vitrification? If so, they have a very high thaw success rate. Unfortunately, our embie wasn't frozen with that method, so we're facing the lower thaw success rate... There's a whole lot of things to consider and if your initial reaction was to not BD then that's probably the right option for you.
Em Star, last time we transferred a 2-cell grade 2 and 4-cell grade 2- (grade 1 is best, grade 3 worst) and one of those became DD. So, she was either a slow-growing average quality or normal speed below average quality. I never expected that transfer to work.
