Maruschke and BDT, thanks so much for popping in ladies to wish my embie sticky vibes! You are awesome
Amy, thinking of you today huuni, I hope they get lots of good eggies Just remember to rest up afterwards xox
Kerbear, the sore boobies are such a pain! A few days ago in the shower it actually hurt when the water was pounding on the poor poppets. Your kittens sound so cute, they say animals can sense when something is going on.....The second half of the 2WW is the hardest I think! Will you do a sneaky test? FX for a nice second line for you hun
Liseyt, you're probably about to go in for your u/s, good luck hun!!! Please let there be lots of nice follies
Myturn, can't wait to hear all about your EPU tomorrow hun. Praying like crazy you'll get a great number of eggies
Hello to Vic, n2l, Janie, Jane, Keta, Kashby, Mia, Kimbe, and anyone else I missed!
AFM, no more testing for me. I've decided to wait till the BT now. Waaaaaaay too much time obsessing on how the line is or isn't getting stronger. On another topic, I went to put the crinone gel last night and normally when I do it I hear this 'pop' but I didn't last night so I was worried I didn't put it in correcly, but when I squeezed the fat end there was nothingin there I think it went in....Anyway, have a lovely day everyone and thanks so much again for all your well wishes and crossing your fingers for a sticky embie and for my lovely visitors wishing me well too
Joeve, thanks hunni but we'll have to wait till Friday in case I'm seeing things on the pee sticks! lol. I love your sig hun, 'egg missing in action'! Those naughty swimmers Very excited for your cycle this month (OMG it's Feb already!). My SIL did clomid and she conceived on 2nd or 3rd cycle from memory, and on the cycle she conceived, she released 2 eggies. Lucky she didn't end up with twins!! I'll have everything crossed for you hun, but those swimmers better behave themselves! xox
Missb I am one of those compulsive poas people lol, I did one yesterday morning and it can up faint, then I went back the the one from day before where it didn't come up only to see it did so trigger wasn't quite gone, it is today but cause its definately negative so now I am going to try and stay away from them until the weekend cause I am still a week away from knowing.
I have hit the point I always do at one week in and am starting to struggle and finding myself getting upset at the thought of it being negative as i found the side effects very hard on me from drugs and am scared about the next cycle if we have to do one cause the meds are being increased.
I just keep praying we won't have to do one.
Are you getting a little excited ;-) cause I am for you, woohoo stickystickysticky vibes
Quick question Miss.B.. What DPO did you first test... I did one on 10DPO and 11DPO but haven't tested this morning.. Mine were BFN's.. I still have some hope though..
Wow it is so busy in here! You don't post for a couple of days and then it becomes so hard to catch up! I promise I will catch up on where everyone is at from this post on.
Not much happening here - obsessing over every twinge, the fact that my BBs have started feeling sore and heavy (could just be the pessaries - only on 400mg this time though), and burping (I had terrible reflux all the way through my DD's pregnancy). Argh! I hate the TWW - I know that logically it is too early to really be able to tell anything, but it doesn't stop me reading in to everything. I am the opposite to most others in the fact that I feel like I am jinxing myself if I POAS - I did POAS on my BFN cycle, and then I didn't on the cycle that got a BFP (at least not until I got the phone call). So I have it in my mind that I shouldn't POAS - oh boy I think I am going NUTS!
LOL you ladies are making me laugh with all the POAS obsessing Miss B, Kerbear and Janie. I know I'll be the same as you when it comes to the TWW for me! I'm glad I'm not the only one LOL to you all we'll have a few BFP's in here soon!
Amy - I hope it all goes well for you today!
Liseyt - I hope your U/S goes well and you get heaps of good sized follies
Myturn - I'll be waiting to hear how you go tomorrow so keep us informed! such a stalker LOL
Hello to Vic, n2l, Jane, Keta, Kashby, Kimbe, and anyone else I missed
AFM - going well with the synorel, no side affects as far as I can tell. Any of you ladies that have had headaches on it, how long did it take before you got side affects? I'm only on it day 2 so maybe my body hasnt reacted yet!
SOOO hard to keep up but I love reading all the posts!
It is time for me to rejoing this thread. We are starting our IVF round, with me starting Gonal f injections tonight. I have no idea where anyone is in their cycle, it is really busy in here! Best of luck to everyone

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!
Hi girls, egg p/u went well, we got 9 eggs I have to call at 2.30 wa time tomorrow to see if any have fertilised, fingers crossed. Tummy is VERY sore this time :-( not sure what date my transfer will be but my pregnancy blood test is wed 15th feb - the day after valentines day and the day before DH comes home from work I'm just going to tell him that I have the bt on that day but won't get the results until the day he gets home.... Of course I will but it will be nice to collect him from the airport and give him the good news, if it's bad news I'll tell him once we r home from the airport.
On my phone so can't write much but will get on my laptop tomorrow for Persies xxx
Yeepee Amy, great result!! I have a good feeling about this cycle gun, number 9 is my fave number (haha it's my birthday!)! GL tomorrow hun, I hope you'll get lots of strong, fertilized embies
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?
N2l - so nice to hear from you and totally understand, i can only imagine how you feel after all the money, time and side effects on your body from all your goes.
I am not going to say it will happen one day cause no one can promise that, I know DH and I have allocated how much money we will spend and u am so scared for the day I may have to accept its over if things don't work out.
All I can say to you is we are here for any kind if venting good or bad and for you to pop in and out when you have the strong days to read the posts.
Thinking of you so much at the moment and we have missed you big hugs xo
umm... message has got confused somewhere.... my EPU is on for tomorrow morning thanks for asking though I'll definitely be in here sometime tomorrow (albiet a little bit drugged and groggy from my cold I imagine!)
feeling like my ovaries are going to explode... and I guess with 6 - 7 follicles at about 2cm diameter, it is a lot of extra pressure on the surrounding organs.... feel like I'm going to the loo every hour... and I'm SURE some people at work think I'm UTD already.... little do they know... just wish I could keep my mouth shut and not insinuate anything!!! unfortunately the longer we are TTC the harder it is getting to not say "well... if I am here by then".... "unless there's some reason not to be here" or some other stupid comment.....
(seriously... how do women keep pregnancy quiet for 12 weeks anyway!!!!!!
for n2l - I'm sorry you are in this place, it sucks, and while trying to think of something empathetic and supportive, I have come up with.... nothing.... I can't think of anything helpful to say, cause it is a yuck place you are in.
we all know how easy it is to be hurt by things on BB threads - few people on BB say things that are designed to hurt, but it does feel like things are "in your face" sometimes.
and yet... you were able to look after us and allow us to remain hopeful - that is so respectful - it's hard to be genuine when you have mixed feelings. A lot of people would not be able to do that - but respect seems to be a defining feature of bellybelly and you are a model of BB support for everyone. thankyou.
Glad to see you around again though - you are an asset all over BB and while we hope you get a surprised BFP, we really wish you all the best and strength with whatever happens or whatever you decide.

Just remember to rest up afterwards xox
I think it went in....Anyway, have a lovely day everyone and thanks so much again for all your well wishes and crossing your fingers for a sticky embie and for my lovely visitors wishing me well too
Very excited for your cycle this month (OMG it's Feb already!). My SIL did clomid and she conceived on 2nd or 3rd cycle from memory, and on the cycle she conceived, she released 2 eggies. Lucky she didn't end up with twins!! I'll have everything crossed for you hun, but those swimmers better behave themselves! xox
to you all
I hope it all goes well for you today!
I'm just going to tell him that I have the bt on that day but won't get the results until the day he gets home.... Of course I will but it will be nice to collect him from the airport and give him the good news, if it's bad news I'll tell him once we r home from the airport.
I am so, so happy for you!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
