Well...so so pleased about the BFP's in here - brilliant news. Keep 'em coming!
Yogi - did you have another BT today?
Yogi and Saffy - hope you're both well and soaking up the excitement of your wonderful news.
AFM had a FET yesterday. An early blast apparently - grade 2 - didn't quite make it to blast unfortuntaely. Still better than the grade 3 compacting morula (?^%$L??) we had last time. So 10 days till BT - really need to find some things to keep my mind busy elsewhere.
So back in the 2WW - not sure who else is in here at the moment but good luck to everyone.
Hi there Rae congrats on being PUPO! I hope the next week goes quickly for you.
Coral & Kmond how are you both going? Any sneaky pee stick results? Hoping for some great news in here soon
I hope you ladies dont mind that i keep popping in here, as i know i dont really belong. But i just dont feel ready to move to the pg thread just yet...i think there should be another thread called "3WW for nervous BFP ladies waiting for scan". Yeah Kmond i had another bt last week and levels still rising nicely so am relieved about that, but then again i know all too well that what looks good on paper does not necessarily mean a successful outcome, so i'm just trying to take it one day at a time and see where this journey takes me. I have my scan booked for friday morning and already getting nervous about it!
Saffy, how are you going? When is your scan? I hope you are doing a better job at keeping cool than me!!
Lots of love & sticky baby dust to everyone

Back in here again on my last natural cycle before another IVF round (or 10 )
CD 18 today. Yesterday (around lunchtime) I had some bloody CM and this morning it was back - a little worse. Not sure what it is. Of course, the irrational part of me wants to say implantation bleeding, but the sane, rational part (yes, she is still in there somewhere ) knows it's too early. I don't ever remember bleeding during ovulation so it really is a mystery..... .....
Hope all are well. I am home sick today with a rotten cold
I am feeling a bit better today on the grumpiness scale but anxiety is kicking in. I feel like my RE/FS didn't explain enough to me to really understand what's going on, I feel like I had to learn it myself through the pamphlets I was given and the internet. I think it was because I have had a few "almost" cycles he seemed to think I knew what was going on. I like his positivity and I'm happy overall with the care I have received, but if I had been more anxious (which is possible with me!) and I hadn't read the "instructions" I wouldn't have even known to keep taking the progesterone and oestrogen. I was looking at the medicare receipt and have only just discovered that they did sperm insemination, well we were charged for it any way. I am happy to hear that because my donor is 37 and we didn't get many eggs; but I didn't even know. I feel a bit like I'm having to take responsibility for explaining stuff to my husband because he didn't come to any of the appointments this time round and I don't have all the facts.
I'd feel better if I knew that my hormone levels were still okay for supporting a pregnancy and I'd really like more information on chemical pregnancy. How will I know if I have a positive BT if it is chemical or not? Is there even a way to know?
I am really grateful that I have been given time off work to relax and rest (I work in a daycare centre with babies to 18 month olds) because I know I would over do t at work, lift and stress out etc. But it has given me so much time to fret! Ha ha. Can't win.
Hoping that things are still going well for the BFP girls and that the wait is less anxious and grumpy for the waiters.
Sorry to hear you don't feel you are being given enough information. Have you tried phoning or emailing your clinic to ask for more info? I find my clinic nurses are fantastic at answering questions.
With regards to chemical pregnancies, there is no real way of knowing but if your HCG levels are really low, it's a pretty good indication it's a chemical pregnancy. Similarly, if you register an HCG level but then your period arrives, it is considered a chemical pregnancy.
Thank you so much for replying nothing2lose! I think the nurses would be more than happy to answer any questions if they had time but I haven't asked. I think I'll ask on my BT day.
I am wondering about taking progesterone which I thought stopped bleeding, I guess if the BT is negative I just stop taking the medication? And then I will bleed. I am pretty worried about the massive mood swings if I have to stop taking the medication.
It's not just me and my darling hubby (we have been together for 21 years!!) but my ED who is attached to this outcome. I feel such a responsibility, because even though I feel and know in my heart this will be my child if it works out; at this stage I feel like I have been delivered a beautiful gift that they made for me and I wish I could have more control over making this work now it's my turn to do something! (Not to take away from my husband the fact that that it wold be "our" child not just mine, but in the context of this statement I'm talking about my feelings....)
Hmmm. Getting pretty deep now, luckily I have a wonderful therapist who I am seeing this afternoon, I perhaps should keep this for my therapy session, but she doesn't know what it's like to experience long term infertility like you guys. Thanks again for the support and for somewhere to put my thoughts during this very intense TWW.
