Em Star ~ thanks hun, good to know. Ive kind of had off and on spotting but its been fairly continuous for about 7 days - since what I thought was the start of a period and now I have bascially nothing. So perhaps it was just implantation bleed - well I hope anyway. I think I'll know the signs though now If I get severe pain, i'll get straight to hospital.
Brunette ~ thank you and all the best with your little embies on board. Hope TWW doesnt drive you crazy and FX for that BFP at the end.
Mum-2-be ~ Well done, rest up and I hope the transfer goes well.
Lairdoz ~ GL with it all, truly hope this one is the 1!
Tantee ~ all the best for the lap, will be thinking of you and you will be ok.
Terry ~ That is so sweet I think I need some of that.
AFM ~ Still more stressing ahead unfortunately. BT results showed HCG has increased from 38 on Wed to 190 yesterday (Mon) (5days) but progesterone was only at 2.6. So have to have another BT on Friday and they will just keep tracking it that way. Its too early for an ultrasound which is what I thought they'd say
So anyhow there is still hope that perhaps it implanted later than first thought. Had acupuncture today which helped me relax a bit.
Thanks for the hugs Marcellus.
The nurse didnt say much at all, its a replacement nurse though as mine is on leave
She's pretty nice though. Just said if the pain starts getting severe go to hospital. So I suppose not much help at all.
My acupuncturist on the other hand was great and said it could be just implantation bleeding, the lil one coul have implanted up high and the blood might be old blood just still slowly coming down (as I havent had much at all last few days)
So now Im hoping it was just a later implant and that is why my readings are low. Hoping they will climb
Hi Loops,
I'm really sorry that regardless of the outcome, it hasn't been quick to find out what is happening, you certainly deserve that at the very least! Obviously I am hoping for you that it is a late implanter, but I will be thinking of you and hope it is resolved one way or the other quickly xx
Em Star – Congrats on the BFP!!! You had me worried there for a while. I want to say that I am so so happy for you!!! It was so good to see your name in “Hall of Fame” and I am confident that all our names will appear there very soon too!! Have a healthy and happy pregnancy ahead!
Loops – I am excited for you!! All your symptoms and HCG levels sound promising!!! Try to relax and not stress too much before your next BT – easier said than done. I will be for you.
Mum-2-be – awesome result with 6 embies!!! Good luck with the transfer tomorrow. Definitely book yourself in for acupuncture pre and post transfer. I hear that acupuncture can significantly increase your chances of achieving BFP during IVF!!!
Brunette – Rest up – hope the 2ww does not do your head in!!
Lairdoz – Glad to hear that your dinner party went well on Sat. IVF is not easy especially when friends or family are able to conceive so easily. I told my brother and sister in – law that we were having trouble conceiving and were on our second round of IVF on Sunday. I couldn’t control my tears when I was telling them. Thank goodness for BB to be able to vent our frustrations, worries and share our successess!
Miss k & Renee – A big congrats to you both!! All the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy!
Juniper – Good luck with the upcoming lap.
Terry – Happy 1st anniversary and good luck with your next cycle!
Littlegem98 – hope you are doing ok.
Marcellus – hope you are well...when is the FET planned??
JBM – hope you are travelling well in your cycle. You mentioned that you are taking naturopathic supplements. Just for everyone’s information, I found out from my FS that you must avoid Vitex and St Johns Wort which are sometimes found in herbal mixtures. These can impact your ivf cycle. My naturopath has prescribed fish oil, calcium, magnesium, zinc. If I am not sniffing or jabbing myself I am popping pills 3 times a day!!
Tantee - wishing you a speedy recovery!
Hello to anyone else I may have missed...
AFM – Had my first scan on Monday. So far we have 5 eggs. Not a huge number....I was hoping to see more. The FS said it’s still early days so we will see how we go. I have another scan on Friday. Depending on how that goes EPU may be scheduled for either Monday or Wednesday. It's really strange this cycle, sometimes I forget I am actually doing IVF. I have no symptoms apart from big fat bruises on my stomach. I guess I am not so anxious as the first cycle so I am hoping I get a better result. Visited the acupuncturist on Sat – woahee. Those little needles have a bit of kick to them especially after a twirl! Give me IVF pen injections any day I have another session booked in for Sat so hope it’s not as painful as the first session.
It’s been a little while since I was here and I see the action has only increased!
Loops, I’m thinking of and praying for you. I really hope someone can give you an absolute really soon.
Congrats to Miss Kand Emstar. I’m completely jealous (in a very good way) and wish each of you a wonder and happiness filled 9 months.
Lairdoz, good luck with the injections. I’m a day or two ahead of you.
Mum2Be, that’s a great number of embies! Good luck with your ET tomorrow.
Hello to all you other ladies keepin’ the faith!
AFM, I had quite the meltdown after my last cycle and needed to be gone for a bit. DH and I decided at the 11th hour that we would go again this month. And so here I am, back for more punishment! I sure am thankful for all you beautiful women, at all your various stages, for the comfort and encouragement you all give. So here I am, jabbing away each night. My FS reckons I’ll go for harvesting next Wed or Fri. I sure do hope it’s Wed!
Did they have a theory as to what was happening?
xx
for you. 
All the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy!
