    Hayldrew, I'm not sure what to say...Anything's possible but the tests are usually pretty accurate What brand did you use?? If you had a 6day blast transferred, it would have implanted a day or two after transfer and started producing HCG the next day or so. It should show on a sensitive test a day or so after that.
    With regards to symptoms, I find mine are different every cycle. I still agonise over every little one. I think the trick is not to believe any of them until you get a positive blood test. Soooo hard not to though.
    I really hope I am wrong and your miracle happens this month.

    I used a first response test. You are probably right........I'm just so disappointed and don't want to believe it!

    Sorry about the BFN Haly that really blows.

    n2L - not long now FX for your lucky transfer #7!

    IUI went fine, 33 mil pre wash (57% rapid) and 25 mil post wash (58% rapid motile). The only thing that bothers me is how early it is, I am only CD10, so I hope those eggs were mature enough. Oh well, TWW here we come.

    In anticipation for Tuesday's official results, I have just rang and booked an appointment with another clinic. My DH and I haven't been 100% happy with our current clinic since the beginning, and we said going into this FET cycle that if it wasn't successful we were going to change over. Well the new clinic are wonderful already! I got in for the 9th of November! No waiting for a month or more to get into our current FS! So the upcoming appointment might be good timing to get in for another cycle before xmas! Well I really hope so anyway...........one of our 10 embies is surely going to work!
    Good luck to you all still waiting it out - wishing you all BFPs!

    Maruschke - FX for you, I really hope this cycle is your time!

    n2l - I knew this thread was super special! Thanks for the warm welcome

    hayldrew - sorry the test was neg, but it could be too early or faulty, you never know. Until AF shows, you still are in with a shot. If this cycle is not successful, allo the best at the new clinic. My gf changed clinics & is pg with twins now!

    AFM - My head is spinning from all the info & extra meds. Even though I did IUI I only did the puregon (now on gonal f), the trigger and that was it. But now I am injecting nights, then morning & nights and I have to do the crinone (sp?) later in the cycle. Luckily my nurse is lovely and I can call her with stupid q's at anytime! I start tonight too, which I didn't think I would CD2....

    Rhi just think, in 26 days time you may be holding a positive pregnancy test and it will all be worth it .

    RhiChiChi - my gp said yesterday that I'm still too early to test, she indicated that it needs to be minimum 10 days from frozen transfer for a test to be accurate and better still 14 days to be sure if AF hasn't happened by then............so maybe a miracle might happen on tuesday when I have the blood test ............I can only hope.
    All the best for success this cycle - wishing you a BFP! And I agree LTTTC really sucks - so best of luck to everyone in this boat!

    Thought it was about time I stuck my head back in here . . . hi there Saffy and N2L, hope your new protocols make all the difference for your next transfers. Looking forward to getting to know the rest of you lovely chickies

    AFM, I am day 3 of stims (225u gonal f) and trying not to find any little ovary twinges. Every other cycle, I have been on Puregon and this gonal f is ouchy - far more so than Puregon. I am a big problem child for our clinic so along with doing the colorado protocol this time for antinuclear antibodies, I also get to have an overnight stay in hospital the night before EPU so that I can have a few bags of blood products to try and stop the effects of a bleeding disorder. Then, if we have an embie to put back, I get to have another few bags before transfer. Noone knows if transfusions will actually help but my disorder is so rare that they can't do trials to see. Lucky me - I get to do ivf PLUS be a guinea pig!!! Hopefully it will be worth it though. I go for a BT on Wdnesday to check response then probably scan on Friday. Yay!

    nsuela dust.

    AF arrived over the weekend, so I'm officially down and out of the TWW! Hoping I don't see anyone back in here again on the TWW (wishing you all BFPs) . So all the best to everyone.

    :-( hayldrew, I'm so sorry. I really thought you'd be in with a chance & that it was just too early. fark...

    Hi Melissa, holy moly you have a lot going on there. I am on gonal f too (was on puregon when doing IUI). I am trying not to overanalyse things too but I am definately feeling different on gonal f.... I start another med tomorrow morning that supresses ovulation.... so many meds to think about....

    Haly So sorry this wasn't your month. Fingers crossed your next FET is the one x

    Melissa!! Lovely (but disappointing) to see you back. I reckon it's about time one of us long-timers got a bfp! Hope it's your month xx

    Rhi - hope you are well. The puregon and gonal f are the same medication, just a different brand. Are you on a much higher dose than the iui? Perhaps that's why it feels different

    Hi to everyone else

    Just had scan to check ovulation - nada! Only cd12 so not too freaked out. Had to do a bt and have another on Wednesday. Then another scan on Friday...sigh...

    Sorry Haly FX next cycle is the one for you.

    N2L - wow, that is insensitive. My previous FS wouldn't stop talking about his 3 kids and how his 40 year old wife got knocked up without help straight away with their 4th. She was so relaxed and blaze about being preggers she didn't even know off hand how many weeks she was. Well good for you, twit.

    N2L - holy crap, can't BELIEVE your FS waiting room had that lying around. I had to pop over to our clinic once and there was a couple showing off their baby and afterwards the nurses were SOOOOOO apologetic. And its not like it was even their fault or carelessness or insensitivity or anything. Are you doing an FET this month? And hell yes, about time something great happened for us long timers! And all you other girlies as well Good luck, chickadee - hope this is the one for you too

    Hayl - sorry, hun. It sucks FX your next little snowbub is a sticky'un

    Maruschke - wow, the insensitivity of some people is amazing. You would think an FS of all people would show a little more understanding - wtf is with him. Grrrr

    Rhi - good luck chick - what stage of stims are you at? I am def in the stage of analysing EVERYTHING going on down there. I'm starting to feel a bit fat (after 5 days stims) so hoping it means that I'm growing me some nice lil follies

    Me - waiting waiting waiting for BT on Wednesday. I really hate this stage of stims cos you have no idea of how things are going. And given my past experiences, we know to expect the unexpected with me, as in I can overstimulate one cycle then have very little response next cycle on the same dosage. Very frustrating so bring on Wednesday.

    Just checked my calendar and on my last natural FET i didn't ovulate until CD 19 and transferred on CD21. We may be cycle buddies after all Saffy - but I might miss you Maruschke!
