Hey Guys

So I was good and didn't succumb to a POAS test, and had my blood test today - and it's a BFP

HCG is 475, Estrodial is over 3000 and Progesterone is 24. Apparently the progesterone is a little low according to my nurse, but we're waiting to hear back from FS about this and if I need any more drugs!!

Thanks to everyone in here for your support.

I'm off to dinner with my DH to celebrate!!

oh babytruj what wonderful news hope your enjoying your night out I bet your just glowing...
AFM: am very anxious about tommorrows u/s had my bt this monring and haven't had a phone call so am assuming everything is all good otherwise they would have called to cancel the ultra sound.
I think I am just thinking the worst but after past experiences... Does anyone else feel like needles and nasal sprays are nothing out of the ordinary? LIke they are just part of your every day like it not an unusual thing...
Fx'd tommorrow shows a nice healthy lining still as i had a bit of a heavy period but pretty much gone now and still the three follies with the big healthy looking one. it's going to be a tense day tommorrow hopefully I get the results quick.

I second that Trueblue. I find subcut needles, nasal spray, blood test, etc, all standard run of the mill now. That's why when my donor pushed back the stim month by 2 months just in case she reacted to it (as she'd be going on hols 2-3 weeks later), I just wanted to exlain that it all wasn't that big of a deal. It's just like two annoying 'stitches'! (but then I only produce 1 or two eggs so I don't have an 'average person's opinion'!) Medical stuff's easy, it's the emotional rollercoaster that's hellish!!!

Hi everyone,

Babytruj, Congratulations. That is fantastic news. Were you on any sort of progesterone support as I'm suprised it is so low. Would be interested to hear if they do decide if you need more drugs to suport the pregnancy.

HCG is 475, Estrodial is over 3000 and Progesterone is 24. Apparently the progesterone is a little low according to my nurse, but we're waiting to hear back from FS about this and if I need any more drugs

To the girls who were talking about Synarel. I found it hard to know that you were getting the right dose and my down reg scan showed that my "natural hormones are having a party" and I did have a lining developing though the nurse told me it was just within the acceptable levels so I could still go ahead.

I ended up with only one embryo fertilizing properly (1 fertilized with 2 sperm! had 3 sets of chromsones - any one else ever heard of this happening before? and one fertilized but only started growing with 1 set of chromosones so stopped developing. Two others which fertilized properly were allowed to grow for 6 days but never made blastocysts so weren't frozen).

Anyway I had bleeding last night - blood test tomorrow but doesn't look good.

babytruj, congrats!!

[trueblue]

gday ladies just a quick update as am so over excited and over the moon just got back from the long trip to sale for the u/s everything is perfect I have 8 follies in the right side with two large ones one of which is the dominant folli which is nice andbig the u/s tech said everything looked perfect for ai so have been dancing and grinning since I walked out so just waiting for the nurse to call back and tell me when to do the trigger and when I have the ai done woohoo am so relieved and just very happy another hurdle down now it's just the sprint to the finsih line

[babytruj]

Trueblue - great news. Good luck

Dreamrise - I am on progynova tablets - 4 times a day (I think 20mg each tab) so yet, I am on progesterone, but the doc e-mailed to tell me that FET can have lower progesterone levels. I am going for another blood test tomorrow to check them again.

Thanks to everyone else for the well wishes and support!!!

Babytruj - congratulations on your wonderful news. Wishing you a fabulous and uneventful pregnancy!!!!!!!!!

Trubeblue - great news that everything is ready, set and go for you. I'm hoping this is the only AI you need.

Dreamrise- I'm still crossing my fingers that it is just a bit of break through or implantation bleeding.

Hi ladies

Hope you don't mind me moving back into this thread. Unfortunatley my last FET was a BFN so I'm back in here waiting for my next go. I have my first US on the 1st of June and that's when I also start to test for my surge. So until then I'm just waiting for my body to do the right thing and get a nice follicle to grow.

To all of you going through sniffing and injections etc hope your all travelling well

[Lisa B]

Yogi - welcome. When do you start your next cycle? I hope it won't be too long before you move out of this thread...in a very good way of course

Terry - really sorry about your BFN but great that you can focus on your FET.

AFM: The nurses at my clinic have really stuffed me around as they never did send me a letter with my dates for the medication but I've just been following along with the down reg chart and crossing the days off and using this to tell me when I start and stop medication. I have spoken to the nurses a few times and they say why are you starting this and that when you haven't got a letter. They don't say too much when I tell them I'm just following the chart. If I waited for the nurses I'm sure I wouldn't be starting anything for another month. Has this happened to anyone else?
