myturn hope the convo goes well

I know that say that it's not over until the blood test... but seriously - when you're bleeding and cramping as heavily as I am tonight, there can be no doubt that it's a BFN. :-(

so DH has left for his two week trip to Japan tonight and when I'm at the airport dropping him off it becomes abundantly clear that AF is here to stay. AF is not usually really heavy for me and certainly not the first day! Has anyone else found it's heavier than usual after IVF?

I think I'm okay about it, and of course there is still hope - but looks like I'm out this month.

I knew it was wishful thinking for 1st cycle to work....

So so sorry hun

Oh Myturn I really hope it is not AF. In my stim cycle that was a BFN I never even got a period afterwards so I don't have any advice I'm afraid. Sending you lots of sticky vibes your way. When is your blood test Hun?

Myturn, I am so, so sorry It hurts like nothing else and there is nothing anyone can say to take away the pain and disappointment. My advice is chocolate, ice-cream (or other vice of choice) and a mindless film. Cry as much as you need to and don't answer the phone to anyone you don't want to talk to x

In answer to your question, your period will likely be much heavier and painful due to the progesterone just to add more salt to the wound

Take care x

thanks guys - it is nice to know there are people out there thinking of you.
- part of me wants to sook and text all the people that know what's happening (which is a total sum of five) and the other part wants nothing to do with anyone. Had my binge already - makes me feel better and worse all at the same time. lol @ comfort eating.... of course... there will be a new plan tomorrow --- seriously if I could just lose another 10kg I'm sure that would be a good start.

BT is wednesday morning - and I've got a busy few days at work so I should be able to stay occupied. I kinda feel sorry for DH, I imagine it's hard hearing your wife on the phone crying and not being able to do anything about it.

I read somewhere that you shouldn't use tampon's in early preg - I wasn't planning to use them at night - cause of course I need to keep using the crinone, but I was wondering whether I can use them during the day?

so assuming it is a BFN - next opportunity for a cycle is december - which would put the EPU & ET over x'mas.... anyone know if MIVF be open then?
