Hi Bec and Kelly. Thank you for your responses. I'm glad it's just the drugs :) Was funny this morning after I gave myself the shot I think I stood up too quickly, felt terrible, all cold and nauseus, thought I was going to pass out....weird. Was okay after a lie down and some orange juice. Anyone else experience this?
Good luck Kel with Tuesday - fingers crossed for a Christmas pregnancy.
Me too!
Except then I would be sick and be fine.
Bec
Really? Was that all the time or sometimes? That wouldn't have been too pleasant.
no only every couple of days. I actually got it again when I was pregnant, they put it down to a rush of hormones.
Bec
Hi guys just wanted to thank you all for your wonderful support and wishes but I have a feeling its all over for me this cycle, I have been cramping and having headaches for a few days and I feel like the witch is on her way.
I also did 2 more HPT's a crystal clear and a fortel and they both came back :bfn: surely they cant be both wrong, I rang the clinic this morning to see if I could get a early HCG but all they would give me was a progesterone level, as if that is going to tell me anything.
I am trying to stay positive but I am failing miserably, I guess I was getting positive results because I still had some HCG in my urine from the injections.
Thanks again to everyone who has supported me during this cycle and good luck to the rest of you ladies I hope you all get :bfp: for xmas
Hi Shazey - is it possible that it's too early to read? If you still had the HCG in your system and now it's out, it doesn't mean that you aren't pregnant. Could just mean that there's not enough of your own hormone to test + yet. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!
What day are you up to?
Love,
Didge
Hi Didge thanks for your reply
Im not sure about days if it goes by the day of OPU I am 13dpo if it goes by fertilization it is 12dpo Im not sure I get confused with this all the time the beta is due on wed but because I went to blast I thought they would still be able to do an early HCG because it would be giving off some type of HCG wouldnt it? I dont know I guess I have to wait until wed to find out. I guess they are checking my progesterone because on all of my other cycles my levels are quite low even with support, I will at least know what my progesterone is doing by this afternoon, but I had a friend who had a high progesterone but a BFN
The fortel says that you only need 10iu of HCG in your urine surely I would have that wouldnt I ?
Those pee sticks are not very accurate early on from what I've read - hear so many stories of women testing and getting - only to find out that they're pregnant. There was a study done on them, read it about a month back, think it was posted on the resolve site. But they showed how inaccurate they are, are more accurate 2 weeks after a missed period. So I guess the moral to this long winded :) story is please try not to get too down about it, the beta is the real indicator. How're you feeling anyway?
Hi Didge I am not feeling too bad have had sore heavy breasts, headaches and a little cramping but Im not sure if this is from the crinone or not, I have always been able to tell I am pregnant before a missed period because of the breasts even when I had the ectopics I new I was pregnant (before I found out they were ectopics) I have all the signs there including nausea in the evenings but I dont know if this is wishful thinking or crinone or pregnancy. Anyway I will see how I go and try not to dwell on it too much, I guess I am more anxious because DH said after this transfer that this will be the end of our journey so I feel a bit stressed about that as well.
Hi Shazey - :hug:
I'll be thinking of you.
P.S. I just read that women who are taking fertility drugs:
Experts say that women who are prone to false positives because they have hCG in their systems from a recent birth or miscarriage, or because of certain fertility drugs, may be better off with a less sensitive test. That way, the test will only pick up an increase in hCG associated with a pregnancy, not the low "background" level.
Cheers!
Hi all
I haven't popped my head in since my BFP about 6 weeks ago and was very happy to see there have been a few more graduates over this time!
Congrats!
Am thinking of you all in the forum and hope you all have some good news soon...
Amanda
Shazzey,
I'm thinking of you :flower:
Bec
Shazey :hug: :crossfingers:
if there is no bleeding - hang in there.I had very bad cramping and still have some cramping .Crinone or early pregnancy can be causing the headaches.
When is your offical beta ?
Hi Amanda - glad to hear all is going well
Shannon how are you today ?
Marg - I am so sorry :hug: for BFN
Didge - you are doing well self injecting at all many ladies get DH to do it !
Bec- when are you back to cycling
Chris - how are you
Shazey - I forgot to add someone told me blasts can implant later -a day of 2
Hi Trish - How've you been? When's your u/s scheduled for?
Clinic ultrasound is 15th Dec
Hi all, scan yesterday went ok - wasn't ready for insem today but have 3 big follis! Hooray! They were at 15mm and 2 at 14mm so after 3 more nights of injections, I will trigger thursday morning and have the IUI Friday 9am. My beta blood test is scheduled for xmas eve, how cruel is that timing?! Thats a saturday too, but they said they will make sure I get results that day so I am not waiting over xmas for news. Could be the present xmas present ever. Or the best excuse to have much champagne... I also had 2 more follis at 12mm, so should definitely have a better chance this cycle we hope. Almost time for those oogy woogy pessaries again lol.
Trish,
I have an appointment to start cycling again in late Jan, I'm trying to be tricky because my obst said I had to wait 12 months before getting pregnant. I'm thinking if Feb is a bust, March is 12 months. He is pretty cruisey as far as meds and scans go, I'll ring him for scripts in Jan ..proganova to get my period then puregon and then profassi. I'm sure he will want to check me once I'm on the puregon. Having little one with me is surely going to be challenging, makes me think I use to hate seeing littles at the clinic. Hmm might have to rethink this one.
How are you going not long to the scan, did you get your bloods re-done when your offical blood test was due. Hope you are feeling ok.
Shazey: I'm like a bloody broken record. I got - 13 po and + bt on 14.
Heather: How are you going? BT soon :D
Chris: Hows the 2ww going, sending you mental
Marg: You still hanging in there...silly 2 weeks
Oh having a hormonal day today if only I could find something sugary and bad \:D/
Hope everyone has a great day
Bec
Oh Kell,
Sorry sounds like a significant cycle, blood test Xmas eve. Fingers crossed a BFP chrissy gift to you
Bec
Kell - goodluck honey for a brillant Christmas present for you
Kel, Christmas Eve, what a bummer! but sounds like you have a plan.
Shazey, hold in there
Bec, I tended to feel bad about taking DD with me but in a way she lights up the waiting room because they are soooo innocent & tends to lighten the mood, giving out smiles. Some of the testing, etc is a bit difficult sometimes though. Your plan to start seems all set.
Hope everyone is going well, keeping sane.
Hi guys just wanted to let you all know this cycle is officially over I had a progesterone level yesterday which was 19.1 so with the extra tube of blood they did a beta and it was a :bfn: I would like thank you all for your positive thoughts and wishes over the last couple of weeks. I guess its time for me to re evaluate my priorities in life and concentrate more on the beautiful family I already have, thank you again, I hope everyones hopes and wishes come true and I hope you all have a wonderful xmas and new year. I will keep popping in from time to time to see how you are all going and let you all know the decisions I make.
I'm really sorry to hear that honey :hugs:
I was so hoping the nasty pee sticks would once again be wrong.
I sincerely hope you and your DH are doing ok, best of luck with your decision.
Love,
Didge
Oh Shazey,
I'm so sorry :hug:
I hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful christmas
Bec
Afternoon Ladies
Have been MIA and just taking a break from all this and stuff to do with TTC. Just thought I would check in since I haven't checked the postings since Thursday.
Shazey Sorry for your BFN hope you are handling it as well as can be and keep your chin up.
Mods can you change me from December to January Please
Good luck to all in the dreaded TWW before xmas I take my hat off to you as I couldn't do it. Christmas will be bad enough for me this year without another BFN to deal with. I know should think it would have been a BFP but am feeling very negative ATM. Xmas Day will be 9 mths since our ~Angel~ left us with empty hearts and arms so not lookinf forward to that day. Haven't even bothered to put up decorations as have no urge to celebrate this year which is unusual as I love all things christmassy and usually everything is up by now.. Any way sorry for rambling on when I have been absent for nearly a week. Cee ya around soon.
Okay lovely ladies just locking this thread now & you'll find the new one HERE to pick up with the chatting.
