Tantee - so I got 6 tests (2 3 pack - too embarrassed to buy anymore), a little excessive I know, but I can limit myself to 1/day lol
Oneday - it usually takes 10 days at least for ovidrel to get out of my system, I only had one shot 36hours before EPU so it should be gone by now. I agree and hope this is the one for you and that you don't have to go down that road! At the same time though, I have 2 adopted siblings and have always loved them dearly and loved growing up together, so although I hope you don't have to, just wanted to share a positive story if that makes sense.
Trishy - bt christmas eve, fx an eary chrissy present for you.
Kaybee - such wonderful news, you're levels sound excellent!!!!
Tima - we have our bt's on the same day....ick am trying not to count down......8 sleeps. The longer you wait the more accurate your result will be but if I'm going to get a positive it usually comes up 2 or 3 days before my bt, but every cycle is different I guess, plus I am usually naughty and test too early anyway
Sweetie - oh please don't give up just yet, how many more days do you have until your bt?
AFM - have been having funny on off cramping and my ovaries are still tender, hate waiting like everyone else but am trying to enjoy each day in the mean time.
Hi Saffy, Springlola and anyone else I've missed hope you're all going well.
Ok Aimee, I won't give up! BT is Mon 20th so another week away (8 sleeps!)... AF due this Friday so I will POAS then (had a natural cycle so no drugs to give a false result). Just disappointed didn't get the implantation bleeding this time round... Oh well, we'll wait it out!
hey ladies, i did a POAS this morning 7DPT and it was a BFN!! DH said maybe its too early but both other times it picked up 6DPT so i doubt it. Im shattered and really wondering why we just wasted the past 4 months planning and waiting and then doing the long process for the STIM to get 20 eggs, 1 embryo and still no baby. Im over it and cant believe the bad luck DH and i have had this year. The worst part is i think we always prepare ourselves for a neg cause thats all we know but this time i thought it was it, i felt different i had barely any pains this time and i thought it was gods way of saying you dont need those other 19 embryos you only need this one, well that was a load of crock and instead this is going to be the s******* christmas ever. Im sorry ladies but i cant believe we are now looking at doing a 3rd EPU and a 6th transfer! I hope you ladies get your BFP's, all the best xxxxxx
Girls - it's not over yet! Oneday - weren't your last transfers day 5 and this one was day 3 (can't remember) if so, maybe this one will take a few more days to show up??? I know how awful it is getting hopes up for nothing, but I don't want you to lose hope just yet. Also, embryoes implant at different times after transfer (I read somewhere between 1 and 4 days) then a few days later hcg will show up on a test, so if it took a bit longer to implant then it might take a bit longer to show up on a test. I am crossing everything so tightly for you both
Thanks Trishy and Kaybee. Well I just did POAS a few mins ago and BFN... So maybe still early (6DPT)... I had the frozen embryo transfer (5 day old embyie), if that make's any diff. Babydust for everyone!!!! x
Hey oneday86, I'm prob not a good role model for you! It's tough but we have to remember our turn will come... I know it's hard to stay positive, though what helps for me is speaking to friends, hearing others stories, gives me hope. My boss had first baby at 22, then struggled for six years for her second and had a couple of miscarriages in between. I really wanted to have a baby in my 20's with my first boyfriend, we were together for 9 years. Found out he was cheating on me big time, so I went overseas... The positive, I met my future husband in Ireland and everyday I'm so happy for that. Of course I want to have his baby but oh well... We'll get there matie!
Thanks sweetie! i too believe this too but everytime i try and it fails its like a bit more of my hope and heart breaks away, i just feel like its never going to happen for DH and I and i truly couldn't do this for another 4 yrs or more, we talked this morning about it and i think we are going to do one more STIM cycle and thats it. IVF has changed my whole life as it has everyone elses, but i believe it has changed me for the worst, im stressed and moody all the time i dont even know how to have fun anymore, my DH and i fight all the time i just cant physically and emotionally do it anymore! Having a baby of my own is everythng to me so for this i pull my self through the hard times and hold onto that hope but this one had seriously taken its toll on me, im so frustrated with life and its sh** hurdles it keeps putting us through. Iv decided enough is enough with my job (im a childcare worker) i cant do it anymore, there is 5 women pg there and obviously its just hard enough working with kids everyday, the prob is where do i go from here? iv got no other qualifications but i guess i will find something. Sorry for a me post AGAIN. I really do hope you ladies get BFP's xxxxxxxxx
Trishy im with westmead they only do urine tests then if your pg you go in for a BT, they wanted me to do them on the 23rd and 25th of dec xx
Hey oneday86 never to late for a career change. But you'll never escape from other pg women. I used to be so jealous when heard the baby news of friends and family back in Ireland, then girls around me... But then I thought I would never want them to feel the way I do or experience this pain of LT TTC. I know of five girls pregnant at work too! Two of them have had miscarriages in the past, and one having twins! I'm so excited for them all!
Well, you don't have to tell me about the fights with DH, we have had our fair share! These days we spend time more with the reno's for our house (have a leaking roof/ceiling, not fun!) so trying to relax think of other things... Oh I would love a glass of wine today, but I'll wait it out...
Thanks ladies for your support. Kaybee this was a day 5 like my other 4, your right it may have implanted later so i will do another test in a few days but im not very confident about it. I do need a change of career, for now anyway, I know i will never escape pg people but with my job i work very closely to everyone (outside in the playground, in the room etc) and it is very hard hearing them talking about being pg all the time, im very happy for all of them but it just dosn't make it easy when trying to concieve especially when they winge about it. I hope your results are wrong too sweetie, fingers crossed xxxx
Whoa Woo Kaybee: Congrats hoping with all my heart this is your sticky bub
Oneday: Don't beat yourself up too much, I always thought I was pretty tough mentally, until IVF came into my life. 2010 has been a roller coaster ride thats for sure. I keep thinking I should be having a bub in Jan, and think back to when we found out the bub had past, all I kept saying was that I felt broken...and I still feel broken. Then fast forward now almost 6mths and I'm still broken, if not more so. IVF is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life, there are pregnancies and babies everywhere...All I can say is please pick yourself up and do what you need to do to give the little soul waiting for your love and nuturing that they need...There are so many ways to give a mothers love.
Tantee: Thanks so much for the pep talk the other day, I think I needed...good luck testing today, I don't know how you've waited this long
Saffy:Good luck going ala natural...I don't remember how that happens LOL, you mean with out drugs and Scientist..So hoping for a Christmas Miracle for you..got busy this week will catch up next week if your around
Aimee: You must've bought the same tests as me LMAO, I have one a day too..
Tima Sweetie and anyone else I've missed hope your travelling well...
AFM: POAS this morning bfn..I'm 8dp2dt I think thats right...have my bt on Friday the 17th if I dont go to the nut house before then...
On a positive note we have had offers on our place, so our sea change (or inland change) could be happening early in the new year..maybe thats what I need ...to start putting myself back together, and not be so broken...Sticky vibes to everyone...
Im still lurking around and silently reading your posts. I'm having a bad feeling about this month, especially after accidentely poas this afternoon. :| It of course was a bfn! Looks like everyones vibes are going downhill. Have also been cramping on and off today and im horrified! Ah well.
Sweetie and aimee, looks like our BT's are on the same day! FX af doesnt come!
Hi ladies! All i can say is huge s, i cant believe what a bad year it has been for alot of us in here on BB!
Dh took me chrissie shopping today which cheered me up a bit and a tiny bit of me is still hoping i just tested too early this time but im pretty certain it is a BPN. We were eating in the food court at the shops today and we had this young couple with a girl around 3 and a brand new baby boy sitting behind us and the whole time the guy was swearing at the mother and carraying on, when i finished my lunch i got up and said we need to go to my DH as tears were welling up in my eyes, it frustrates me and makes me so angry that certain ppl dont realise how lucky they are to have a beautiful miracle in their lives, i have become so sensitive on this topic since doing IVF because i know there are so many ppl out there that deserve children and cant have them.
Ladies i too can relate to hurting after a loss, i always think about my 'baby' and that he/she was due on the 3rd of march, it breaks my heart everytime i think about it and i will tell you there isnt a day that goes by that i dont think about that baby. I wish i knew why we had to go through so much heartache but i dont and it isn't fair but good things do come to good ppl and we will get our turns. i truly am so thankful for this site and you wonderful ladies becasue i would be lost without you xxxxxxx
I too am thinking about keeping the next STIM cycle to our selves, it makes it so much harder having to tell everyone it didnt work AGAIN! and to be honest i believe our family and friends are giving up hope on us having a baby. My mother inlaw can be pretty insensitive of our feelings too, when i lost our baby she rang the next day and told us good family friends were pg, i just thought why tell us? we dont need to know right now but my DH told her it upset me which was good. I think it comes down to ppl not knowing what we go through and carry everyday so they dont think these things would hurt us?
Ladies i hope we all get miracles and our BFN's turn into BFP's xxxx
