Trea - hi and welcome to our new thread and thanks for sharing your story. You sure have been through a lot - I just can't face the waiting involved in adoption and could never get over the ban that stops you doing IVF while waiting. That's the main reason we didn't get the ball rolling on it and now I think we'd be too old. I don't know why it has to be so hard to offer a loving home to a child in need when so many of them are suffering - here and OS - it's just not fair. I still can't get over the need for police checks to do IVF in Victoria - it's outrageous. Anyway, I'm glad you have had a breakthrough knowing about the NK cells and hope the prednisolone works for you. I'll be taking it too on my next IVF, and antibiotics (have you heard of that? It's worth looking into as well, MurryCod I think took them this cycle) anyway, best of luck to you.

Crafty, that is so weird that MC mentioned her dream because I also had a dream that you were UTD! Well, more like a persistent thought than a dream. Sometimes I get really strong feelings about things and often I'm right so fingers crossed x

Ferrals - Your temp is so good to be that high that you would think it was a BFP coming your way so I'm really sorry it is another crappy BFN Hope the next cycle is the one and you don't have to do the IVF at the end of June/beginning of Jully but if you do have to we're all here and a few of us will be doing it at the same time so we'll go crazy together and hopefully your little blasties will be free from the genetic probs you have with your DH and your long wait will be over.

MurryCod - cramps suck and I'm sure it's doing your head in our damn bodies give us so much misinformation especially on IVF it's always hard to know what's real and what isn't. Well it's all real but YKWIM...is it the drugs or is it because AF is coming or is it because you are pg I hope it's because you are pg I really really do. Hang in there - it's the worst time this waiting it's a bit like rock climbing (ha not that I do it but I did it once and it seemed to me to be as much of a mental challenge as a physical one) so hard to keep the mind still. I always try to make a pact with myself that this time there will be no forecasting but of course I always do we're only human and what else can you think about? It's hard to think of other things and I'm sure you are doing your best to distract yourself to stop it but be kind to yourself no matter what happens you've done the very best

Sevie, Sunbeam, Trea, Porsche - how are you all today? I hope you've had good weekends.

AFM well my brother and his partner are doing their second go at IVF and I sort of understand why they told me - have the experience in common etc - but I wish they wouldn't it was hard enough when they got my niece from one go after all the years we have tried and they never seem to think about what it might be like for us to hear about it probably because we try to be excited and happy for them like everyone else while inside it hurts like hell. If we'd started IVF in May as planned we'd be doing it at the same time thank goodness we aren't - if they get a BFP and we didn't, don't know how I'd cope with that. Hate that all this sadness for our own loss can make me feel like that about my own brother but does feel like he was born under a lucky star - he always seems to get what he wants.

Did you read about poor Kit? Her 6 week scan didn't go well (bub's heart beat was too low) after all her bleeding she must be crushed she's having a break I tried to send a message but her box is full.

Sorry for the bummer post - wish I could cheer everyone up - has anyone been having fun bding - any silly stories to tell? I have AF so nothing exciting happening here x
