    Kerbear, I had a lot of on-off cramping for the entire 2WW. They say the cramping is like AF cramping which is true, and lots of women who have it think it's just AF on her way but it's in fact the embie digging a nice deep hole for itself Hope your cramping is a good cramping!!

    Hi all. Had ET today, one 2d embie on board. Have been trying to do all the right things. Have been ordered to get on the couch and stay on it while DH makes dinner because 'You are pregnant'! Hehe. Will enjoy it while it lasts

    I know this is a clueless question, but how do you figure out when AF due?

    AF is due in 13 days (so what would be 15 days past EPU).

    Kashby, it actually depends on your usual luteal phase. Simply treat egg pickup as ovulation day, then add your normal luteal phase.

    Thanks N2L, Kerbear and Maruschke.

    Kerbear, big hug for each day of this teary week - so hard when nothing is wrong but everything is wrong at the same time Also so hard to stay positive. But, it ain't over til it is over and you are oh so still in the race! And those who know say the cramps are good.....hang in there

    Hey Kerbear,

    I'm the same as Miss B and M - lots of AF like cramping and lower back pain on my left side, started 2 days post transfer and still have it now, but it seems to have eased a bit this week.

    I found it was worse when I was standing on my feet, but was still there when I was sitting down.

    Good luck Fx it's a burrowing embie as Miss B says

    Congratulation RhiChichi, that is wonderful news. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly from here. You deserve it. xxx

    Hi to everyone else.

    AFM- I've tested again this morning and still glaringly negative. I swear, those stupid sticks mock me with how negative they are. AF is due today and I'm going in tomorow for BT. Just want to get it over with so I can get off this Clexane- my stomach is so bruised from those horrendous syringes. We are really unsure as to where to go from here. This is our 7th transfer with 8 embryos transferred in total and we are so frustrated. The whole way along we've been assured that we will get pregnant but guess what? Still not effing pregnant!! We have good quality embryos, I've had the endometriosis cleaned up, I'm only borderline for treatment of NK cells but we're doing it anyway and I'm on Clexane just as an added extra. What on earth is going on?? I'm really starting to think there must be a chromosomal issue. DH has had a gutfull and wants to go back to the FS and demand answers. I understand that this is such an inexact science but we are really starting to struggle and need to know where we stand. I've said this before, but part of me wishes that I could graciously walk away and start focussing on living our lives but I still can't bear the thought of not being a mother. I physically ache to hold my baby.

    Sorry for the depressing post, girls but I know that you guys understand what this is like.

    Much love,

    M.x

    Meg, I am so sorry

    Like you I have had a lot of transfers - nine embryos all up. It's so frustrating. You feel like you are the only one IVF doesn't work for. And it sucks.

    But there are a couple of things to remember.

    The first might not be comforting in a way but might help in another way. You are not alone. IVF doesn't work for everyone within the first few tries. I recently sat in my FS rooms in tears because I was ready to give up. She said not to even think about giving up before 14 embryos have been transferred. You are a long way off that.

    The thing about IVF failure is you don't hear that much about it. People are much more vocal about their success. So, for those of us who struggle with repeated BFNs, it compounds our sense of failure and hopelessness.

    I can't say it will happen for you - or me. But I can say, don't give up yet. You are not alone. We will keep fighting this together.

    Take care x
