Hi Girls, just a real fly in post. Work is crazily busy and its almost knock off time and I have to finish up a whole stack as I wont be in tomorrow due to flying over to see my FS.
Amy and Myturn - Good luck with your EPU's today. We are all quietly stalking you all Hope you all had good number and are good to go for transfers.
Good luck to everyone else. Will be offline tomorrow, so feel free to update the list. I know Amy and Myturn will want to jump into the waiting to transfer section
Kerbear, this POAS-ing is seriously doing my head in, I never thought I'd get so obsessed with it! In my very first cycle I didn't test at all, just got the call. In my second I tested from day 11 post transfer, and then kept testing for 3 days in the row (once a day mind you, this time it's like 3 times a day!). I'm glad I tested early this cycle b/c I could definitely see the trigger shot on my first test, then 2 days later it was blank so I knew it was gone. I would wait till the weekend hun, or at least 5 days before your BT at the earliest.
Lilmisshaveachat, I got a line 8 days post transfer (so that would be 8 dpo?) but in my last cycle it was on day 11 post transfer that I got the faintest of faint lines, I'm talking about you had to really quint your eyes to see it, and I had to convince DF it was there as he couldn't see it. Wait a couple of days hun before doing another test, sometimes it's 13 dpo when you get a faint line. GL sweetie!
Ooooh myturn, for some reason I thought your EPU was tomorrow! Sorry hun, I hope it all went well for you
Amy, I hope you EPU went well too, can't wait to hear all about it!
RhiChiChi, hello hun and wishing you all the very best with this cycle!!
Mia, just wait till you start peeping on a stick every time you have to pee! lol
Vic, all the very best with your FS app. hunni, fingers crossed for a good game plan!
Janie, I can understand not testing hun, I wish I was one of those patient people who didn't have to know everything all the time! FX for you hun
Hang in there ladies, wishing everyone a nice BFP at the end of all this torture!
Firstly, I have to apologise for going AWOL for the past week or so. After getting AF, I just needed to absence myself from all things IVF to clear my head a little. As it was I didn't even go for my blood test until the day before yesterday (when AF had pretty much finished). I just couldn't be bothered. I already knew the outcome
Please don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes it is hard to face the optimism and excitement in this thread when I no longer feel optimistic or excited about the process. That's not to say I don't feel happy for anyone who is successful or who has little wins along the way because I do. It's just hard not to post things like 'don't get your hopes up' sometimes. And I don't want to post that and drag anyone down to my level of bitterness and pessimism iykwim.
Anyway, I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I am going to be one of the unlucky 40 per cent that no one talks about. Of course, we still have two embies left but it's hard to see how/why they would stick when the others haven't. After that, it seems pointless spending more money on another stim when nothing has come of the $50,000 we have spent so far.
I have an appointment with the FS on Feb 6 so I will see what she says....sigh...
Anyway, sorry for the downer. I didnt mean to rant, just explain my absence. Thank you to everyone who posted me lovely messages of support, and to those of you who noticed I was 'missing' from the thread. It was really touching
In the meantime... I am ridiculously behind where everyone is but I will try to catch up over the next couple of days...but..
Miss B - I am so, so happy for you!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
To everyone else, hope you are all doing well and I look forward to catching up with where you are at very soon!
N2L- You have nothing to explain- I totally get it and I have the same reason for dropping in and out. As happy as I am for others because I know that everyone in here has fought their own battle, it is still a kick in the guts each time I am not the one with the good news. We have a transfer scheduled for next month which will be our 7th and it is just gets harder and harder. I totally relate to not feeling particularly optimistic. I have no experience with anything other than failure and am definitely starting to question whether this is ever going to happen for me. My cousin recently announced her pregnancy- achieved on her 11th transfer and while I am happy for her and recognise that she has gone through quite a few more cycles than I have, I was still upset for myself. I felt like a total cow for feeling that way, but what do you do?
