"Sigh" Bleeding again. Don't like this good news, bad news I go through each time. I just want to have a baby, not play snakes and ladders.
oh no, I hope it will be ok indiasmum, plenty of people bleed and still make it -HUGE hugs and stickiest of stickies for you xxxx
india'smum: so sorry to hear you are bleeding again, i know what you mean about the up and down of it all, you shouldn't be having all these problems
saffy: did you get your blood test result back ?
matthewsmum: how frustrating for you, what cycle day are you on now ?
sunbeam: it was worth having the mri at least to show up that problem ! i hope you can get it sorted soon !
luna: fingers crossed for you for testing tomorrow ! i hope you get a bfp
crafty: hugs to you, must be hard to only see your family for short periods of time
afm: 5dpo and my boobs are sore so im sure this cycle will end in negative result because that happens 5 days before i start bleeding so that would give me a luteal phase of 10 days again..........*sigh*.......
minnie- no their machine was broken so can't get results till tomorrow, my boobs are sore as too, but I did a POAS just to see if a miracle had occured and BFN of course.
Hope your bbs are sore for another reason!
I'm sick of my body letting me down, you must be feeling the same, hugs x
saffy-sorry it was a bfn,still pretty early though....minniemouse-still got my fingers crossed for you?is fs going to do scans to track next cycle?(hope it is not needed though)...india's mum- hope the bleeding eases and ends up being okay.
Saffy, minniemouse -- you girls are shockingly pessimistic. Boobs sore is a GOOD thing, remeber? It is an early pg symptom... Saffy, if you are 1 day behind me, then you are only day 11, and that is really early, do not give up yet.
Inida's mum - oh no, so sorry you have to go through this roller coaster. When are you seeing your doctor next?
I got a BFN of course, as expected. It is kind of early, but I am not holding out hope, because I do not feel pregnant. I do not know how to explain it, but I swear I just know. With my last pg, the ectopic, I was getting BFNs for a week and I was still convinced I was pregnant even when I was looking at that single line.
luna- I know I'm pessimistic, I'm not normally, just with TTC lol! I get sore boobs every cycle so its nothing exciting. Sorry you got a BFN, I know what you mean though I am very sure I'm not pregnant this time either xxx
indiasmum- hope you are ok xx
luna-sorry it was a bfn...india's mum-has the bleeding stopped?..saffy-Are you going to poas again or wait for bt?does your clinic do a scan to check lining before transfer?my clinic told me dr likes to go by bt's results to get that info but i would still like to have a scan.I have had 3 transfers & they have told me it looks like they haven't implanted at all ,the reason they've given me is the age (quality) of my eggs.i'm no dr but i'm worried there might be a problem with my lining because once again i'm struggling to get levels up..anyways another bt today,day23
:hide: i am here hiding after being reprimanded for being pessimistic lol Luna i would probably be happy to have sore bbs if i was 12 dpo but 5dpo is just too early for it to be a good sign for me, sorry to hear you got a bfn, i hope you get surprised and that changes in the next few days
Saffy: im sorry you got a bfn too and bummer about the machine not working, hope you get the results back today, are you still spotting ?
matthewsmum: how annoying for you this cycle is proving to be so long for you, for fet do they always do it with a "natural" cycle ie no drugs ? as you know i don't think my fertility specialist is keen on doing ultrasounds during the cycle, i hope you get some done though !
india's mum: how are you going ? have you had more blood tests ?
Just a quick note !
I have had many pregnancies as you all know and sometimes sore boobs sometimes nothing so don't write yourselves off just yet ! I thought you had to get the sore boobs to be in with a chance of a BFP as in my younger years thats how it happened for me BUT then I got over 38 and all my pregnancies since then well sometimes no sore boobs sometimes sore boobs so I guess what I am trying to say is it means nothing wait until you are at least 14days past O before you trust a BFN !!!!
If I could never tell after 14 pregnancies then who can ! :lol:
NO TWO PREGNANCIES ARE THE SAME
Crafty- you are definately qualified to have the final say as you are the goddess of getting utd!! :happydance:
minnie- still spotting here, my body is reliable in that way lol
matthewsmum- I did a cheeky POAS at 5 this morning cosI couldn't sleep- BFN still. My clinic only does BTs ( but I think my clinic does the least possible of anything lol, but I am p*ssed off wih them @ the moment), my lining has always been ok, are they just checking for the LH surge with the BT? That must be frustrating if they don't even try to implant, I have read about some places 'break open' or 'pierce' the outer shell of the embie before transferring it, to help it 'hatch', because older embryos have a tougher 'shell'.( not sure if any of this is completely accurate) Maybe ask your FS? GL with BT xxxx
AFM- finally got result and progesterone level is 17, so not very good, the nurse was trying to put a good spin on it but i am booked in to see FS in a couple of weeks to discuss future pregesterone support and have arranged to start the OCP when my AF comes, and do another full stim. Now i just need another $4500 :doh:
minniemouse-fs is consistant then.If i can't do transfer this cycle,next i'll try another hormone replacement cycle ,i've had both in the past(natural & hormone replacement),thought with having the acupuncture & oesteopathic sessions recently,i'd give natural another go(as natural as you get with ivf anyway)...saffy-they check estrogen,progesterone & lh surge with the bt's,when i asked nurse about scan she asked what dr i was seeing,then said no,so some dr must agree to it,i'm thinking(probably thinking too much)...crafty-are you going to use the opk's this cycle?...afm-just spend time with some lovely ladies,of course one was pregnant,asing when i'm going to give up on having another baby(so hard for those who haven't gone done the path of loss or ivf or both to understand)glad i have you ladies to type to,thanks...
matthewsmum: how rude of her ! did you say i'll be ready to give up when you learn to keep your opinions to yourself (cause i doubt that will happen with her for a long time), you are right thought most people don't understand !
ok so i have more questions for you, so are they looking for your estrogen to get to a certain level (obviously) because that means you have a follicle getting ready ?
saffy: i take it you are on progesterone support from ovulation ? or from transfer i guess ? what more can you do to boost your levels ? take vitex ? the specialist im seeing next month does a lot more monitoring of the cycle than mine so im keen to get to see them and see what they say (that and the fact a friend of mine works there at the ivf clinic so i know she will look after me well)
crafty: thanks for your thoughts.....i think i will still go back under here though :hide: lol
get out from under that chair minnie lol!!!
I'm not on progesterone supprt cos I did a natural cycle, some clinics still put you on but mine doesn't, at least now I have some proof to insist on extra support next time. I looked into vitex but I'm not sure how compatible it is with ivf, if I was trying naturally next month I would take it. I hope the specialist you see next has the answers xx
Not sure about the oestrogen but what you said sounds likely.
minniemouse-the estrogen level is to do with the lining of the uterus ,for when the embryo goes back in.the lh is to do with pin-pointing 'o',as my embryos are 5 days old,they should be put in my uterus around 5 days after 'o'.the progesterone is for when the embryo gets transferred.Hope i got that right...
saffy-sorry i missed your post,my last natural fet ,i wasn't put on prog support either.I was with hrt fet though & also fresh transfer..you would think it wouldn't hurt to be on them
Matthew's Mum - That was very rude and blunt of that person. It's amazing how people are so insensitive. In the ER the other day I was telling a nurse about my last miscarriage and she said "Well maybe that's natures way of telling you to give up". A weird thing to say to me considering she knew I was pregnant again and hoping this would work out.
Saffy - I find it odd they didn't put you on progesterone support. I would have thought that would go all out to make every opportunity work. When is your BT?
I'm with Crafty on the breast thing. I've been pregnant 6 times and sometimes they hurt and sometimes they don't. Sometimes you get AF type cramps and sometimes you don't. Every single one is different.
AFM - despite more bleeding yesterday (which stopped almost as soon as it began) and terrible cramping, my HCG has gone up to 8500 which is slightly more than doubled since the last test. I told them I was still having some bleeding, pain and cramping so they did a scan and found a single uterine pregnancy measuring 5w5d. The sonographer said it all looked good and in a good position so that's a positive sign. Unless I have any more problems, I will have another scan when I see the FS in 2 weeks. They said there is still the slight possibility of an additional ectopic but it's unlikely so just let them know if the pain gets worse.
