Hi all. Just subscribing to the new thread.
I hope everyone is doing well. I've been trying to keep up but boy these threads move fast. Sorry for not posting for a few days. Been down for the count with pharyngitis
Hasn't really helped me much in my tww, more days to sit at home off work contemplating if my little embie is still there.
Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone, especially nothing2lose!! Good luck!
Take care

[Meg76]

Just subscribing, hope all is well.

[Amy_jellybean]

Just subbing...good luck girls xxx

[Maruschke]

N2L? How are you? AF is due today, DF's bday, I hope that line got a lot darker overnight.

[nothing2lose]

Nope, not darker

I think it may be marginally lighter I hate HPTs

Beginning to think I may be on my way out. No real symptoms. So ridiculously bloated DP is calling me Bloat from Nemo (I have put on 4kgs this week!! ). Feeling a little crampy this morning

How are you going?

[Maruschke]

I'm honestly confused. The scientist in me thinks there shouldn't be a line at all. Are you still using FRER? My FRER's are about the same as the control line with 100 hcg. I'm so sorry if you are on the way out I was almost sure that this was YOUR month, you were gunna get your baby. If that doesn't happen after such a build up then the world is effed (well, we already know it is, right?). AFM, didn't bother testing today, 11 dpo, I'll test tomorrow but my body knows it isn't pregnant so I am not too tied up in the "is it, isn't it" end of TWW insanity.

[nothing2lose]

Yep. Still FRERs. I have a clear blue digital here. Might try that...

Today is CD 30, 12dp2dt, 14dpo and it was 156 hours since my last 1500iu pregnyl jab when I tested.

Might try posting pics when DP goes to golf!

Question: can you get AF when you have HCG in your system?

[tantee]

Subbing too...

I hope you lovely ladies are doing OK. Oh the torture of the TWW!!!

I have fingers and toes crossed for you.

Maruschke - don't count yourself out just yet, it is still quite early
N2L - 2 more sleeps...

to everyone else.

Question: can you get AF when you have HCG in your system?

I don't think so. There is a feedback loop between HCG and progesterone. When the corpus luteum detects HCG, it produces progesterone as a result, which thickens your lining and prevents AF.

[Maruschke]

11dpo FRER bfn. I should trust my body more when I know it hasn't worked.

[Amy_jellybean]

Sorry to hear about your bfn Maruschke, sending you loads of hugs xxx

I hope you girls dont mind me joining in again. Ive spoken to DH tonight and we have decided to bring the FET forward and do it in....dum dah dah dah.......December!!!

Im so excited! We hva eonly done one fresh transfer so far which resulted in a chem pregnancy. For all you ladies out there that have done FET's, what was the process?

I guess I call the clinic at the end of my next period (due around 20 November) and then they will tell me where to go from there but im curious about what happened for you ladies?

[Softkitty]

Hi ladies,

So sorry Marusche be kind to yourself! It never gets any easier does it

That's exciting news Amy-jellybean! I always feel so much more positive about things when a plan is in place. I usually try to spend the few weeks preparing trying to be super healthy, walking, drinking heaps of water. No luck yet though.

Thinking of you nothing2lose. I hope you get some good news soon.

My tww is almost over thank goodness!! Although I have pretty much ruled myself out at the moment. I am 10 days post transfer and have been getting very light cramping on and off today. I think I have convinced myself that it hasn't worked for me. I will continue to have a tiny glimmer of hope until AF arrives or my BT on wednesday, whichever comes first.
Needless to say I am feeling pretty low today. Starting to wonder if I really am meant to be a mommy
Well, that's enough self pity for one day....
Good luck everyone else!!

[Maruschke]

Amy best of luck with your FET in December. Might be a lovely Xmas present!

Rach so sorry... although I hold out hope, I know what it feels like to have those symptoms at the end of a TWW. Is AF due tomorrow?

Not much from me, BFN again today... thinking about doing some exercise and shedding some weight and hoping that makes a difference next time.

[Softkitty]

Maruschke- My egg pick up was 2 weeks ago this Wednesday, so I'm assuming that's when the dreaded AF will be due?! I'm on the delightful Crinone at the moment, so I suspect it may be holding things at bay for the moment.
One minute I'm certain it's all over with some mild cramps, sore (.)(.) gone, the next I wonder, with painful boobs again, and no cramps!! I'm so confused!! I've had a mild backache since about a week ago, so once again, can't tell if it is an AF symptom or not. I think the Crinone is playing tricks on me!
Anyway, I bought a HPT yesterday, but chickened out this morning. I think I've talked myself into doing one in the morning if nothing changes cramp and boob wise.
The next 3 days are going to be painful I think, until I get the conclusive BFN from my BT.
Trying to stay positive

Hi Everyone,

Maruschke - so sorry to read of your BFN that really sucks. Fingers crossed for next time. I too am thinking with the weather warming up I really will try to get fitter - it can't hurt.

N2L - hope you are going ok - think if I was you I would have gone insane by now. Really hope things go well for you!

Meg76 - hope you are going ok.

Rach82 - hope you are going ok too and that you get a BFP this coming week.

Amy - thats so exciting!

Tantee - Hi, Im not sure where you are at in your cycle but wanted to send you best wishes.

Hope I didn't miss anyone!

AFM - I had my HSG scan on Friday and unfortunately they found a block in the left fallopian tube. Man it hurt but eventually they got some dye through. Im going in for a scan and bt at the clinic tomorrow morning to see how many follies I have and when we can do the trigger so will ask the nurse what the specific results are from the HSG and what the repercussions are. Hopefully the scan unblocked it and we are good to go. Has anyone else had this???

Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

[Maruschke]

The HSG told me I had a blocked left tube, and it was painful when they did that side... but then when I had the lap it was all open and normal. Apparantly sometimes your tube can spasm and appear closed when in fact it is open.

[Keta]

M - Thanks. It was also 'ballooned' in the area where they struggled to get through. The Dr suspected scar tissue, Im hoping that since they finally got through all is ok. It was so painful though!

N2L - I saw your bad news on the other thread. Im so sorry! I really thought you were in with a chance. Bug hugs to you and your DP. It was meant to be your turn. The world is not fair.
