Nix ~ so sorry to hear about your news. Hope you are doing ok I am starting to learn that dissappointments like this don't get easier with each cycle - emotionally, physically and financially.
This is my first IVF cycle and I have yet to deal with such news, but what I have experienced on BB so far is some amazing women who have displayed so much determination, strength and courage to deal with anything IVF throws at them. I hope you can draw on this also to help you through this difficult time.
Nix - I don't know you, and could walk past you on the street without knowing it, but I'm sitting at my pc tears streaming down my face having read your post. I'm so sorry, noone can make you feel better, in fact nothing actually makes you feel better, but be safe in the knowledge that there's a circle of girls on here who feel a real connection and understanding as to what you're going through. take care, and take all the love your furbaby offers.
Nix honey, so sorry to hear your news May you draw strength from wherever you can to pick yourself up when you're ready and move foward, and in the meantime, take good care of yourself.
I'm a little confused this morning. I've had cramping since last week but no AF yet. Usually she would be here by now, so this morning I POAS and a second pink line came up. It certainly wasn't as dark as the control line but there were definitely two. My BT is Wednesday, so I'm quietly getting excited but also very unsure about all the cramping...
Anyway, off to acupuncture, will post properlytonught when I can have a good read of what everyone is up to.
Lise - I hope your funeral went as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Two pink lines.... how exciting! Looks like it has been implantation cramping after all. GL with your BT in two days... I have everything crossed that you will get that confirmed BFP.
Lise - I hope your weekend was as peaceful as it could be with the funeral and all that goes with it. Onto a more positive note...ooohh 2 lines huh?! exciting!
It's been quiet on here over the weekend...good sign, that people are hopefully doing other stuff other than focusing on this.
AFM..bless DH, he heard me crying when typing out post to poor Nix, and gave me lovely cuddle and we had a wee lie down as we were both working last night. I didn't sleep well, partly cos I'm really aware as to how 'full' I feel. please please let this be the last stim I have to go through.
Well final scan this morning, trigger tonight....I'm going to have to do this one at work....not so happy about that, then DH and I have 3 days off together with the EPU on Wed. I've just realised how painful just waiting from Wed to following Mon when we transfer (hopefully) one blasty and see how many we can freeze is gonna be. THEN the 2ww. oh god....
lise ~ sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Hope you are ok Thanks for your POAS update - your second pink line sounds promising. this is it for you! GL for your BT on Wednesday.
airline ~ GL with the trigger tonight - for me it was a relief knowing it was my last injection (for this cycle) and EPU and ET were around the corner. GL with your EPU on Wednesday and fx they find many eggs.
To everyone else, hope you are travelling well in your cycles whether its sniffing, jabbing, waiting for AF or surviving the TWW.
AFM ~ Had my EPU today. Can't say I was overly happy with my egg numbers. In the end we have 5. I know all it takes is one, but I am concerned that with only 5 that they might not all make it and we don't have any to transfer. I am probably making a big thing out of nothing and I should wait and see what happens. At this stage ET is on Wednesday. More waiting.....I am so impatient at the moment. I think I need to plan a holiday - I need to direct my focus elsewhere....
Thanks for all your support - it really does help! It has to be the knowing that you all know exactly what I am feeling and truly understand. I am still feeling gutted today and a little flat but am a little more up. Have to look forward and get on with things and focus the energy into the next cycle. Down reg again but nurse said today I'll prob start on 225 gonal this time which is the dose I ended up on in the last cycle so at least this time we should get much better stimulation and more follies & eggs.
AF showed up yesterday arvo so day 1 today & I am back on the pill on Friday. Nurse will send out my cycle plan. Have to go buy some more synarel - yay there goes $100 again! (Til medibank pays me back what they will!)
Lise I am loving reading some possible positive news - I thought maybe it woudld make me feel like - oh why not me - but it just gives me hope! I hope its true and you get a pos BT. Hope your weekend went OK and I am sure you are glad to be back with DH once again.
Mel - I know that seems low - esp if you read some other's results or have been round a cycle once before - but you really do only need 1 and I am sure you will get some fert out of that. We had 5 & got 3 fert. GL with ET.
Airline - GL with EPU this week - good idea taking some time off.
Hi to everyone else - hope ur going well! It's great having you ladies here I tell ya!
I hope all of you are well . Just a quick one this morning as I am feeling very sore and sorry for myself after EPU yesterday.
Nix - I am so sorry to hear your news hun and bug hugs to you . I know that there is nothing I can say that will make you feel any better.... It is just a horrible process we have to go through... I know this doesn't help, but when I received my 2nd BFN, within time, I started to feel better and began to get excited about doing another cycle as it meant another chance at getting that long awaited BFP. I wish you all the luck with your next attempt .
lise - I have everything crossed for you that you get some good news! It is looking very positive - yay!
airline - Good Luck with the EPU! I hope all goes well and you get some good numbers!
AFM - Had EPU yesterday and am very sore today! I ended up with 27 eggs.... Although this seems good, it is a little on the high side and there will be a good number of these that are not mature. Nurse told me that I can hope for one or two really good ones and that I should expect the rest to be average. She told me that I will most probably lose the majority by day 5.... I had a little cry at the hospital after EPU when my sister came to get me... . This happened last time (we got 19 eggs) and I only got 2 ET's out of it. I am just going to try and hope for the best..... I will keep you all updated on the progress as I should receive a call from the scientist some time this morning.
Coral - congratulations on the 27 eggs! I know the nurse said you will loose quiet a few, but that you will get more great little embies to freeze this time.
Metttc - congrats on your 5 eggs. It may seem low but as coral said - those with high numbers tend to loose more due to immaturity. I hope you get some great results from the 5 that were collected. for ET tomorrow
Airline - with your EPU tomorrow. I hope you get fantastic results too.
AFM - just plodding along in my TWW trying not to overanalyses every twinge and tweak. It is probably a bit early for symptoms anyway.
Metttc -5 is good number . I wish in hindsight that I had got under 10 so that they were of better quality! Will see if FS will reduce FSH next time.... GOOD LUCK on the transfer tomorrow and that this will be your BFP!
mitf - that you will receive your long awaited BFP! I hope the 2WW isn't driving you too crazy! I agree, it is so hard not to take notice of every little twinge... GOOD LUCK!
airline - Thanks . I hope things go really well for you tomorrow! Make sure you let us know how you went when you are up to posting... GOOD LUCK .
AFM - The clinic called and we have fertilised 14 eggs.... I am really happy with the result, however, am really anxious as we fertilisted 13 eggs last stim and still only ended up with 2 ET's. So hoping we get better result this time round, although, I know enough now to be grateful to just get at leat 1 transfer! Will let you all know how many have successfully divided when I get the call tomorrow... lol.

it's clearly been too long since i've logged on properly, I just lost my post and I hadn't saved it first!!
airline - so glad that your DH is such a comfort and support to you, god knows we need all the support we can get. with EPU tomorrow, make sure you rest up well.
melttc - hope you're taking it easy after EPU yesterday. I know that it seems that we keep repeating the same phrase over and over, but it really does only take one good egg, so as long as the quality is good, that's all you need. All the best for tomorrow - are you taking the day off?
Nix - glad you're feeling a little better. Sounds like your plan this time is a little different. the slight change is all you need to achieve a BFP!!
Coral - wow, that's quite an effort! 14 fertilised is a good number, here's hoping you get some good quality embies out of them.
mitf - hope the 2WW isn't driving you too nuts. I also analyse every little twinge in the hope it's a sign. DH gets quite cross at me for incessantly Googling all my (probably imagined, or exaggerated) symptoms. Have my fingers crossed for you.
Tracy - i'm SO with you on the weight gain and pimples. I found the weight disappeared once i'd stopped taking the drugs, but the pimples still remain, grrrrrrr!!!
Loops - hope you're going okay!
Wishes - hope AF has turned up - i've certainly tried to send her your way rather than mine!
AFM - I have to confess to something i'm desperately hoping is a very early pregnancy sign rather than me losing my mind. On the weekend I made a cornflake slice for my family, except that I forgot to add the cornflakes Then I was getting really frustrated when Virgin wouldn't let me check in online and instead made me see staff in person. Got to the airport, marched up to the counter, and then realised right in the nick of time I was flying with Qantas
Anyway, tomorrow is D-day for me, BT is 7:50 if anyone else is going to be at MIVF. DH and I have the day off so just need to think of enough suitably distracting activities.
Big hello to everyone I've missed, and spreading some in the hope we all catch some.
Hi lovely ladies
Just a quick one as Im about to leave work - its been a very busy and long day.
Nix ~ hope you're hanging in there hun, all the best for starting your next cycle.
Airline ~ all the best for your EPU, will be thinking of you and hoping you get lots of good quality eggs
Lise ~ Sounding very positive, all the best tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and waiting for news
Coral ~ All the very best - hoping of your 14 eggs that you get as many as poss make it to day 5 and you get some to freeze.
Mitf - hope your doing ok.
Melttc ~ sorry your not happy with your number but stay pos, certainly can happen even with one. Hope all 5 make it through for you, FX
Hi to everyone, sorry for those ive missed. Lots of
AFM ~ natural cycle again and AF is on the doorstep, can feel her now. A few days ago I was very nauseus and just thought maybe just maybe I was UTD but did a test and it was BFN once more
Lise- You made me laugh with your pregnancy brain symptoms. Unfortunately I am like that all the time and the people at work are almost dreading what I will be like if I ever do fall pregnant. I know I posted that to you in the other thread, but good luck tomorrow
Coral- Wow your results are amazing I cant imagine the pain you must have been in. I thought it was bad with 11. I hope you get a good number that make it through to blasty stage.
Loops- You arent out yet, hopefully AF wont come knocking on your door.
Meltcc- Good luck with your transfer tomorrow I hope you get a couple to freeze.
Airline- I hope the pick up goes well, enjoy your time with DH.
Mitf- just keep crossing off those days.
AFM-I have blood test on Friday but it doesn?t look to promising, I have slight bleeding, which I initially thought was implantation, but I am not so sure now. I have also had quite a bit of cramping, with some in the lower back. This waiting is a form of torture!
Thanks sonyalouise ~ it is torture waiting isnt it. No you and I both arent out of the game yet. Although Im pretty sure AF is still coming. Im at CD32 but I always have longer cycles and usually strangely AF comes on a Sun/Mon so I will be expecting her over the weekend Arrhh. Its painful waiting and wondering Arrhh. Least we have each other to keep sane.
Felling a bit better again today - its just taking some time to sink in and get used to the idea. We've also gone over some finances and I feel a bit comfier on the $$ side of things. Start pill on Friday and just waiting to get my plan so I can see some dates.
Coral - that is a lot of eggs - you must have felt so blaoted and sore even before EPU. I don't know much about all this really, but I would be speaking to FS abot the dose as it seems like it is stimulating you too much and you don't want to have to go through a whole stim cycle to get such high numbers but only a very few you can use - even tho I know it only takes one! GL with ET - sounds like you take emby's to blastie so I hope you get a good few that make it. Hopefully you won't have to ever think about abother stim cycle and doses anyhow!!
Lise - GL today - gosh I hope you get a pos. We will all be here when you are ready to tell us your news.
Sonya - hope you are just getting implantation bleed - I hadn't seen you post for a bit (not that I have been on enough to keep up properly) so it's good to get an update and hopefully you get a pos on Friday. I agree the waiting is painful!
Hey Loops - no natural this time, sorry to hear - imagine that - how much easier that would make things - you wouldn't have to come up with the $ for another cycle. How is the tractor going?
Airline - how are you going - you must have had EPU by now?
mitf - only 5 days to go. Hoep you are not going too insane and are able to just cruze, relax and look after yourself.
mel - hope ET goes well for you today. It is a small part of the whole process but it is pretty full on and in your face I think!!
Tracy - Hi! How are you going? I'm not sure where you are up to but I hope you are doing OK of course!!
Hi to all others around and sorry I've missed you in person.... trying to do a quick post before I really get stuck into my work day. I'll check back later in the day to see if there are any updates from my BB girls!!
I am starting to learn that dissappointments like this don't get easier with each cycle - emotionally, physically and financially.
