Sooo happy for you darling!!!!!!!!!! You've made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunbeam - Yay for all the follies!!! Good luck, i'll be stalking!!!!! xx
Saffy - Waaaaay to go!!!. I have been keeping my fingers crossed for you all week. Really pleased for you sweetie, can't wait to hear your BT's tomorrow.
Sunbeam - It's nice to hear that you are so relaxed. Hope good things are coming your way very soon.
Possum - my cycles vary between 27 and 32 days. I used to be 28 days like clockwork until I was 42 and then they started becoming a bit erratic. I still always go pregnant easily though, I just had to make sure we BD'ed enough to cover when ovulation might be.
just a quick one from me
Saffy Congrats well done I know you will be waiting for the BT results though but until then way to go girl ! and well I have not always felt pg until I got to around 8wks and sometimes before AF is due so you can never tell !
Sunbeam congrats on the eggies FX your BFP will be on here soon too !
AFM well still no AF still had a bfn on sunday so have given up have no idea where I am in my cycle could be day 38 could be day 7 who knows have had no headaches no cramping and no nothing so I am in the dark here !
Saffy - Congratulations! Thanks for coming through for me with the happy story :-) Don't worry about lack of symptoms yet, it is sooooo early. They will come. It is a very good sign you got your BFP so early. I am so very happy for you.
So who is next? Possum? Vivid dreams are always my first symptom too, this is very exciting. When are you testing?
Big Fat Negative :(
Couldn't wait any more. I had cramping yesterday and sometimes it felt like AF and sometimes like pg. Tested at 4.30 this morning because i was busting for the loo and wanted to use FMU... and BFN. Feeling like cr@p today: crampy and horrible. AF due Friday. Not here yet but bound to show soon. I know i'll get over it once i'm a few days into the next cycle but right now feeling horribly grumpy.
possummagic- bl**dy bfn- sorry you got that, I hope there is still a chance for you, and AF never turns up xx
Thanks EVERYONE for your congrats but I really think I am going to let you all down :cry:
Just had my BT but have been spotting since last night and poas today with FMU was lighter than the last few days, doesn't feel like it is going to work really.
I have to work until 10.30pm tonght so might not check back in til tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone in TWW-:noaf:
Saffy - don't give up yet, everyone here has everything crossed for you! :hug:
Hi Ladies
Saffy - I wanted to wish you a tentative congratulations on your BFP. Spotting is very common in early pregnancy so don't panic just yet. Wait for your HCG levels to come back and see what your FS has to say. He/she may suggest an early scan? It may be implantation bleeding.
Possum - I'm so sorry for your BFN.
Hi to everyone else! I hope your cycles are on track where ever you are in them.
What a lot of confusion and uncertainty today. :comfort:
Saffy- When do you get your Bt results? I really hope it is good news :pray:. Thinking of you babe. :hug:
Possum - I'm so sorry it was a BFN but its still a few days till AF maybe its a sneaky one if your cycle is being irratic, I do hope so.
Crafty - I'm sorry your cylce is messing you around but I hope it's good news in end.
AFM - Scan today showed my EPU will be monday (much better day for me) and my brother and dad arrive that evening so they will be able to take care of me :). Still 12 follies looking good maybe a few more by monday. I have lots of bruises from jabbing this time for some reason, but hey its worth it.
quickly sneaking on at work to say BHCG= 194- woohoo!
But, progesterone only 36- not sure what its meant to be but was told its too low, need to keep on the crinone
Getting more confident, still spotting tho, thanks for positive thoughts x
Saffy - I'll be stalking and sending lots and lots of sticky vibes your way!
Saffy great news I have no idea about the prog either but you have time to pick that up right ? FX all goes well for you and you get to keep this bub !
Sunbeam fantastic news on your eggs you always manage to get a lot hey lucky you lets pray you can get your BFP real soon and a healthy 9 mnths ahead !
Ladies I need some advice not sure what to do, I am day 39 I think or well 10 days since I had some brown spotting and well not done a poas since sunday and it was a BFN, well still no nothing no cramping no headaches no grumpy moods either which is so unlike me lol ! anyhow my bra just felt tight today and I have been having twinges in my bbs but you know how it is about going out to buy more tests ! I ran out now you see and begrudge spending on them if all I get is a BFN ! so what would you do if you were me am I day 39 or day 10 ???? the brown discharge really was not much at all only when I wiped ( a bit like when I first started to misscarry ) so do I just sit tight or go to the DRS and get laughed at as I am 45.5 yrs old and sometimes ladies my age miss a period right !
Crafty I would be buying some more tests and giving them another go!
Saffy: I have everything crossed for you. BHCG sounds good for such an early pg. Am i right? I'm sending you sticky sticky vibes. THanks for the well wishes hun. I think part of my 'grumpy cow' thing is the disappointment but there's a good deal of grumpy cow hormones involved too i'm thinking! Wish they were pg hormones not PMS!
T-hopes: Miss seeing your posts in this thread. Nice to see you pop in. Hope things have settled down (i've been checking in on you in the other thread a bit). HOpe it's all good now.
Crafty: Yeah, IKWYM about feeling bummed about spending money on POAS which give you the wrong answer! You might be right and you might be day 10: if you were day 36 on Sunday when you did the last POAS then a pg would probably show up on a POAS by then i'm thinking. But i reckon do whatever it takes to help you feel you know what's going on. What about some internet 'cheapy' POAS? (I've never bought them but i know others have). It might be a good compromise on feeling ok about spending money on a few more POAS tests?
India's mum: Where in the cycle are you? TWW?
Hi Sunbeam: I'm glad EPU worked out for you on a more convenient day. I'm sure the procedure is enough drama without having stress relating to clearing your schedule. Also great that you'll have two family members to pamper you a bit.
Toomanyshoes: hope the headaches are easing off.
Hi Porsche: Great to see you drop in. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope things are good for you at the mo.
Alice: THanks for the feedback about varying cycle length. Hope you get some answers on yours.
LUna: HOw are things with you? Yeah, i was totally convinced i was pg. Still very puzzled about my 9 days or so of vivid dreams. I must have a lot on my mind!
AFM: I can't give up a teensy hope that the POAS was wrong and i'd just had too many fluids for the BFP to show up last night. (I need AF to come so that i can face reality and move on!)
:p CONGRATULATIONS SAFFY!! :p That's the best best best news - well done!! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy and looking forward to hearing your updates :bellyrubs: xxooxxoo :cheer: :bluecheer:
Saffy - I do not know why they told you your progesterone is low, I think anything over 20 is fine, and yours was 36. I only had it checked in my last pregancy, and it was low, but it was 14. Your number looks great to me. Are you having a repeat BT soon? I'm keeping my fingers crossed, spotting is pretty common, but makes you freak out nonetheless.
Possum - maybe you really DID have too much liquid, I am still hoping....
Crafty - can you just get a blood test? The uncertainty must be killing you. Who cares what they think, and believe me, they have probably seen everything anyway. You cannot be the only 45 year old that is trying to get pregnant. Hey, I am almost there myself.
Hi to everybody else, I am still following you all.
I am just waiting for my ectopic to resolve. In 2 weeks it dropped from >2000 to 470, today I got another test and I am really hoping it is below 5. I thought I am handling this loss pretty well, but yesterday at work my coworker told me that this guy we work with had a stillborn baby. And then he said "you are a mother now, blah blah blah..." I am writing "blah blah blah" because I honestly did not hear what else he said, but I know he was talking. It just literally took my breath away and I was shaking. I had to work very hard not to cry. I never expected such a strong reaction and I am not a public crier, so it totally took me by surprise. Now I am thinking, I have not let myself have a good cry over this loss yet, and there are probably bottled up feelings and they just tried to come out, so I think I need to cry until I get a headache. So this is my plan for tonight :-(
Saffy, sounds like your prog level is great so fingers crossed it all goes well from here! So happy for you lovely xx
oh Luna big hugs to you :hug: I think this loss has gone on for so long for you waiting for it to pass, it's bound to be a difficult and it sounds like you've handled it so well, I think a good cry is in order but I am sorry you are so sad. Thinking of you xx
MatthewsMum, how are you going? That was a lovely thing to do for Matthew's anniversary. Hope you are feeling a bit brighter soon xx
Sunbeam, good luck for your EPU, sounds like you are going into this feeling good in yourself (despite your back). I hope everything goes your way and DD produces the goods. Wishing you a nice surprise for Christmas.
Possum, Toomanyshoes, Crafty, India'sMum, Damprye - big hugs and hello to you all. Wishing you all a BFP very soon.
Porsche, Mildez, Ferrals, T-hopes, missing you all and hoping everything is well with you.
MurrayCod, KitFaerie, Audax - you too xx
I'm going to be signing off for the year. Today is my 42 birthday...and still no baby :( But I'm trying not to think about it too much so I'm going to have a break now and will be back next year to try again. Thanks everyone for all the love and support you've shown me, I would not have got through this year without it. You are the most amazing, beautiful, strong, brave, fantastic women and I hope you all get to realise your BB dreams soon. I will pop in when I can, take care and lots of love XXOOO
PS sorry for missing anyone
Alice - Happy Birthday! Enjoy your well deserved break, hope you have a fantastic Christmas and new years. :hug:
Saffy - Brilliant level!! Good girl, so thrilled for you!! I dont know much about the prog level but stay on that crinone and im sure it will rise nicely! Wishing you a very happy & healthy 9ths!!!! :) xxxxx
possum - thanks love, doing well now, yes had a big scare last week with the little bleed but bubby is fine, had two scans since and growing perfectly! My ob said its quite common and it stopped within 24hrs. DH got me a doppler and its fantastic, i use it every morning and it makes me feel so much better! Im 10wk 2 days so 18 sleeps till my big scan, still scares the heck outta me cause thats when we lost our last angel but i feel confident we will be ok this time! I hope anyway!
crafty - i would go to the docs and ask them to do a BT, they would never laugh at you! There is a lady in the other forum - 46y/old and just got preg! You can do this! Dont give up on yourself, i havent!!!! xx
Love to all you beautiful women xx
Alice - HAPPY BIRTHDAY my love! Im praying that your dream comes true soon, dont give up ! xx
Hi Lovelies,
Saffy - :clap: Whoo so glad the bt was great, I think the prog. number sounds okay I'm sure they will keep an eye on it. I wonder if it's one ot two in there :p can't wait to find out :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Alice - :happybirthday: We will miss you heaps, I hope the break does you good I know it has helped me in the past. Will be looking out for you in the New Year and hopefully a whole new start.
Crafty - No idea what's going on! Personally I could not help but keep testing but we all do understand the disappiontment that can come from seeing a BFN.:hug:
Luna - A big cry sounds like it is needed :comfort: I find that it is important to say goodbye properly when the time feels right and you feel strong enough but it is sooo hard all the same.
T-Hopes - So glad to hear that things are moving along so well for you. Can't wait to hear more news after your scan.
Possum - I am still crossing everything that you have a sneaky BFP coming. :crossfingers:
:happybirthday: Alice have a great day and by the way 42 is still young !!! :D
T-hopes great news on your scan FX all is well next few weeks I know how hard it can be coming upto the dreaded 12 wks !
Sunbeam not long now till your egg pick ! got 3 tests in my drawer now but too chicken to do them !!! lol
Luna cry babe it will do you good sometimes if I started to write down my story it helped get it off my chest and made me cry and cry and cry !!!!
Possum FX its just too early for your BFP to show !
saffy hope your still doing well and do you get another BT soon ?
afm well just going along passing the time and wait and wait to see what happens !!!:)
:birthday2: Happy Birthday Alice! I hope you have something nice planned to celebrate. We will miss you while you are away. Take care, enjoy the break and see you in the new year refreshed.
Luna: It's really rough when you lose your baby but also need to wait for HCG to drop. Understandable that you are feeling like you need a good cry.
T-Hopes: I can't wait to hear good news from your 12wk scan. Great that you can hear the HB with your doppler to reassure yourself.
Saffy, toomanyshoes, sunbeam, crafty: hi again!
I seem to be haunting this thread ATM: going nuts in the TWW. Still no AF but due tomorrow. I keep running to the loo thinking i can feel it starting and...nothing. I'm so impatient when it's not really due before tomorrow anyway! If AF doesn't show up by Sunday (CD31) i might POAS again. If there's no BFP it's certainly been a very mean cycle: i've had really uncomfortable cramping the last 3 days. Way worse than usual. And i'm still dreaming. Sore boobs. What a palaver if it's only silly old AF coming!
Hi girls- have had a broken computer- just fixed it now- PHEW!!
ALice- hope I haven't missed you and need to wish you :confetti: HAPPY BIRTHDAY:confetti: and bon voyage for when (if?) you go on your trip- we will miss you so much- enjoy your break and have a beautiful christmas lovely :heartbeat:
Possummagic-oooohhhh, might be brewing up a sneaky bfp- I sooo hope so xx
Crafty- still no AF?!!?? Might be worth holding off a bit longer ( using the reverse psycholgy of- as soon as you buy HPKs your AF will come- so don't buy them!!) Hope it was an implantation spotting!!
Sunbeam-good egg haul!!:dance: FX for Monday- you will do fine xx
THopes- hi mate! Nice to see you xx
Luna- thanks, yeah I went and found an old pathology slip and saw it was 20 as the lower level so I relaxed a bit after that, my friend in UK emailed me and said hers had been 9 at 5wk ( ended up m/c tho). Shame about that guy at work :hug: to you, hope you had a good cry- it always makes me feel better, I suppose it will just come out when you least expect it. Also, hope your levels are lowering quickly xx
Toomanyshoes- thanks for the stickyvibes- I need them!!
AFM- well, I would love to report everything is good but its not really, have had painful cramping constantly since Wed afternoon, spotting turned into bleeding yesterday, its still on and off/ light but its red. Not a full AF though. I'm feeling more resigned to the fact that I can't force it to stick and it either will fail or it won't , so I am just trying to 'go with the flow' pardon the pun. Am going back in for BT next wed but will go Monday if AF over weekend. Can't do anything but wait. Thanks so much for you lovely words and sticky vibes, it means a lot. :grouphug:
Saffy - still keeping everything crossed for you! Sticky sticky stick oi oi oi!
me too Saffy: stickiest of sticky vibes to you. I hope you are just one of those 'bleeders' who gets some break-through bleeding in an otherwise normal pg. FX for you (and toes too!)
Hi ladies
Saffy FX all will be well for you as you say nothing you can do to change the outcome ! but I do pray its a good outcome for you,
Possum FX AF stay away send her to me instead !!!!
AFM still no AF still BFN knew I should have saved my money !!!
Saffy - MurrayCod had constant cramping around this stage too and things worked out. I am praying for you and the bubs.
Possum - I am kind of in the two week wait. It's day 21 but we BD till Day 24 because I have been known to ovulate very late.
Crafty - I know you said a doctor won't help, but what about an acupuncturist who specialises in fertility treatments? They work with people taking clomid. It might increase your chances if you are going to try the Clomid again.
Alice - I will really miss you on here and I will be thinking about you. Happy birthday Sweetie. I don't think 42 is all that old.
*Sigh*...AF arrived last night. So CD1 again. I should have known that that pg test was accurate. Gosh that was a horrible TWW. I can't believe i have to do it again! I'm almost relieved it's the start of a fresh cycle though. I've got a few days off stressing about it and then we get to try again. It's the TWW that messes with my head. But i'm so sad that we won't have another baby in this house before late next year now. It feels like such a long time away.
Crafty sorry for BFN. Sux i know...
India's mum GL for TWW...
Hugs to everyone...
Possum- so sorry you got AF, she's a cow, I can't stand her. Good luck for your next cycle hun xx
Crafy- India'smum's suggestion was a good one( about the acupuncture)-I can't believe you still have no AF though- theres still hope for you, FX she never shows, my friend was getting bfn's until 7 wks and had a successful pregnancy.
India'smum-thanks x I hope your tww isn't too long!
toomanyshoes, Luna, sunbeam, Matthewsmum, -hi and hugs to you all x
:cry: Its definately all over for me- have been bleeding heavily and pain all weekend and without getting into gross details- I'm sure nothing is left in there. BT not til Wed but i poas yesterday and barely a faint line now :cry:
So shattered, even though I felt it wasn't right, I still got my hopes up for a miracle.
I feel like i have let everyone down- my mum was devastated and DH was trying to stay positive but I think he has realised now theres no hope.
Whats wrong with me- why can't I have a baby????
Saffy - I'm so so so sorry :hug: you haven't let anyone down. I don't have the answers but I really wish I did.
Saffy - I am so sorry darling. I understand the feeling of letting people down as it's exactly the same way I feel after a loss. But you need to recognise people are let down by the experience, not by you personally. Their hearts are breaking FOR you, not because of you. I wish I had answers for you too but I don't. I know it seems like there is no hope at this point but lots of people have been in the same situation as you now and had success later on. When do you get to meet with your FS?
Saffy - oh sweetheart im so so sorry, india'smum summed it up - they hurt because you hurt, they want this for you so much, they would never be dissapointed in you, but for you! sending you love, prayers ans strength my darling xx
hi everyone,thinking of you all...saffy-i'm sorry the bleeding got heavier...possummagic-sorry af turned up
oh Saffy, I'm so so sorry lovely :comfort: it's just devastating for you and your DH. I know you feel let down and you have every right to but you yourself haven't let anyone down - the people who love you want this so much for you because they know how much it means to you. You haven't done anything wrong darling, it's just horribly unfair. On the positive side at least you are getting one step closer and maybe with some help next time you'll be on your way :hug:
PS Have you had all those blood tests for NK cells, ANA etc? When I did those they found I had slightly raised levels and that's why I have to use Clexane from +ve bt onwards. If I'd been successful this last time they would have also given me extra progesterone support too so maybe they are a few things you can talk to your FS about when you see him.
Sending you lots of love and hugs xx
Hi Ladies
Saffy - I'm so so sorry it didn't end the way it was supposed to. I agree with the others you haven't let anyone down they are all upset for YOU. That YOU are upset. That YOU are going through this. It's just not fair. I don't know what else to write as I'm upset for you. Maybe Alice is on the wright path mentioning the clexane and NK cells?. I was on clexane from ET right up until week 12 and I'm still on Cartia. Because of my M/C history I was told not to stop the cleaxane until 12 weeks. Were you on progesterone? Maybe you need to be on that as well as I read somewhere that when we go through an IVF stim cycle we lose some progesterone when we have EPU so hence why they make you have the progesterone pessaries? I was on those until 12 weeks as well until the placenta took the job over. I was also on Progynova and provera as well.
I don't know perhaps they are dumb suggestions?? I'm really devastated for you.
Oh saffy I am so sorry I know how exciting it is to see those lines and then be let down only days later I pray all is still ok but its sounding like you already know the outcome, we women sense these things don't we, I know how your family were so happy for you but its not your fault life just sucks sometimes and your family feels the pain for you and probably feel a bit useless as there is nothing they can do to change the outcome ! take some time to cry and get your strength back and then try again you can do it I know you can, just need to try a bit more like most of us on here its not so easy hey ! but your will get there you have to keep going !
to everyone else hope your doing ok Alice nice to see your name in here and T-hopes and matthews mum .
Christmas is around the corner again ladies and we still waiting to get a strong BFP and a healthy pg life is hard at times and I feel christmas can be so hard for some of you so I am sending extra stregth for you to carry on along this road to a BFP and a happy 9mnths !
AFM well still no AF no nothing not bothered to test again I guess I just have to wait and wait to see when shes gonna turn up and then count down the days again ! I guess I am getting closer and closer to realizing that maybe my time is up and I must just accept that fact ! its not easy though Im not going out without a fight !!!!
Thinking of you all:grouphug:
Saffy: so very sad for you that things don't seem to be working out. I can only second everything that others have said about it not being your fault and not letting anyone down. I am also hopeful, like others, that something can come out of this that helps you get a sticky BFP next time (perhaps some testing for multiple mc or treatment support like Clexane that hasn't yet been tried). But in the mean time just sending you hugs. I am sorry your path has been so hard. It is all so very unfair. We're here for you when you feel like talking...
