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!
EMERALD - SOOO pleased that everything is looking good for you. Your levels have looked fantastic all along and can’t wait to hear about seeing that little heartbeat on Monday!!
RENEE - awwww big hunny. I am still hoping that everything is going to be OK, stay positive
MISSK - how you doing hun? Having a stupid moment atm, how much longer before you have a scan? Exciting!!!!!
BRUNETTE - good luck for your 2ww, just curious as I haven’t gotten around to ringin my clinic yet but how soon after your stim cycle did you have to wait before your FET? I keep on thinking I should give acupuncture a go - so you just have a pre and post transfer session? Might have to look into it before my FET.
TANTEE - hoping all went well with your lap and you aren’t feeling too rough
LAIRDOZ - hope you are feeling a bit better this week, I was a huge sook last week as well. VERY embarrassingly, I had my little meltdown at work the day before my BT!! My mum had been away pretty much from the time stims started until a few days before my BT and I went to see her the day before and just lost it. Nothing like being able to have a big bawl on Mum’s shoulder!!!! I have everything crossed that you will see loads of lovely looking little follies in your scan today and that you stay nice and relaxed for at least the next week or so!!
M2B - yay for 10 eggies - awesome!!!! Rest up and FX for a great fert report, oops just kept reading - woohoo for 6 lil embies!!!! Good luck for ET today!
TERRY - I agree wholeheartedly!! Glad you had a lovely night - DH and I are the same, we are constantly reminding each other that we, as a couple, are the most important thing throughout the whole process and what is the point of going through all this if it tears us apart. SO yup, continuing to love and support is paramount
LOOPS - wow this must be absolutely doing your head in. Hopefully Friday will bring some more definitive news for you - how soon can you actually get a scan and be able to see anything?
MEL - Hoping you carry on growing some more little eggs, I’ve heard people say how relaxing AP is and how they nearly fall asleep during it!! I have wondered how relaxing getting stuck with needles can really be - no doubt will find out next cycle. So you are finding second time round not so stressful so far? This cycle, I was a bit of a shocker, I think just all the unknown got to me a bit - at least next time, will know what to expect
MOONFLOWER - welcome back and good luck for this cycle
ME - just plodding along. AF has finished so quick question - should I expect my cycle to be a bit haywire this month or should it go back to normal relatively quickly (was regular before IVF). Waiting waiting to be able to do FET. On a really exciting note, my brother and SIL have been through two absolute dismal failures of IVF cycles, dismal to the point they had given up on even trying again and my brother rang the other day to say my SIL is 13 weeks preggo naturally - miracles can happen so stay strong and believe, ladies!! Phew that was a bit of marathon post - I take my hat off to anyone who has managed to wade through it!!!!
Did they have a theory as to what was happening?
