Airline - conghratulations to you & DH!! I am so happy for you. It was about time we had some positive news in here.
Dellydoo, airline & Mrs K - thank you for your kind thoughts. I had my BT on the way to work but I won't know the results till mid arvo. Keep you posted. FX
Airline - that's brilliant news, many many congratulations.
Tell your hubby that when you have your baby he'll get ignored a lot so he might as well get used to it now!!!
My get-in-the-right-head-space-back-in-physical-shape plan isn't going too well, as I write this with a hangover (feel free to all roll your eyes now!). But today is a new day, I have a trainer this afternoon to kick my butt and a rapidly expanding Customs puppy to walk.....with a peculiar taste for dead birds (which I have to then claw out her mouth - revolting) and starfish. Anyway... on a general note, I'm so glad that this forum exists. My dear dear husband is so practical and statistical which is brilliant sometimes, I think if there wasn't a place for discussion of emotions (and pessaries : ) I think I'd go loopy.
Best wishes for those having blood tests today/ tomorrow/ Monday. Statistically if there are say 20 of us in each month, and a 12% iui rate, we should get 2 BFPs per month and many more if you factor in IVF.... so even though I'm not in, I'm here for the positive stories, (if you don't mind me stalking!)
Airline - finally a BFP in here! Congrats, I hope it all goes well for you.
mitf - GL today
Just a quick one from me - feeling pretty down - POAS yesterday (I know but I just couldn't hold off) and it was a negative. Managed to get through the day at work and had a good cry last night, very therapeutic to let all the sadness out. Anyway had my BT earlier today so will get confirmation later on. Just logged in to my work email (have the day off today) to check something and got an email from friend's announcing they are pg with their 2nd baby. Sometimes I really think the universe is trying to test my mental stability.
Anyway good luck to everyone else, I hope someone gets lucky! Need to work out what happens with a FET as we've done fresh transfers thus far. Hopefully FET will be much less daunting...
mrs p - sorry about your poas result...that's why they're dubbed evil. it is sooo hard every flipping time someone else says their good news...we all feel it, and it's worse when it's a surprise. big hugs.
loops / london miss /miss k - thank you, it makes me smile when I read everyone's support and congrats. I've read and typed it before so many times for others...it's surreal.
mitf - hanging out, waiting for you...hope you're ok...
afme- naturally we're happy, but a little wary, but we spoke to clinic again and asked for the test on Sat so we'll find out results Mon not Tue. I do wish it was more straightforward, but this has been a long time coming and I'm trying to remain zen like
I'm feeling pretty knackered so gonna keep resting up. Thank you again for all your comments, and i'll let you know any updates. We're keeping it quiet for now, so it's nice to be able to share with someone!!
Good luck and my thoughts are with everyone waiting, waiting...it seems that feeling never stops. will check in later.
Airline, I'm thrilled for you. Brilliant news Stay as long as you want the more happy news in here the better. FX for a really strong result in you follow up BT. Will be waitin for the outcome on Monday.
Mitf, I'm really sorry you had bleeding - here's hoping it wasn't anything to worry about. Good luck and let us know how you go this afternoon.
Mrs P, sorry for your negative result. It is a complete rollercoaster ride each time. Try to relax if you can and keep your chin up
Seph, good to see you back and best of luck.
Taurean - GL Saturday, hope all is going well - haven't heard from you in a while.
Hi to the rest of you - sorry this is a quick one - skiving at work on a dodgy connection again.
AFM - I decided that after third POAS with vague positive that I should have bought a better known more expensive brand and they were all maybe even wrong. Tried the Clear Blue digital last night - no lines to assess it tells you "pregnant" or "not pregnant" in the test window. Well I think it's undeniable - I got a "pregnant" and two very distinct blue lines when I took the test out of the holder. I'm trying not to get too excited and still nervous about tommorow (especially if EGC is low) but I am more convinced it's OK. Just need to get to week 20 before I think I'll start breathing easy. My mum had 4 miscarraiges and they say you are like your MUM (though she also got pregnant at the drop of hat and had 5 children - unlike me so there is hope).
Will let you all know how I go tommorow till then good luck to all
OMG........ It's a tentative BFP for me. I can't believe it. I had really thought things weren't going to happen for us this cycle.
The clinic thinks it was an implantation bleed, which surprises me because I thought it was a bit late for that and it was also heavier than what I would have expected. My levels are very low, so it's a tentative result at the moment. My Beta HG is at 21 and the clinic said it needs to get up around 100. I will be back at the clinic for my original BT on Monday. My Progesterone is also low at 35.1 which is ok but not great. TMI warning - So I now have the joyus pleaseure of starting my pesseries rectally from this evening (which I am sure some else mentioned they were doing).
Mrs P - I am sorry the POAS didn't work and my thoughts are with you as you get your results today.
Mitf, I am so happy for you!!!! I had just finished sending you a PM when I read your post. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant - have to hold back the tears I'm at my desk with two techs sitting nearby - hormones! Roll on the BFPs. Stick the pessaries in you ears if they think that will help that's what I say! Hoping it gets stronger and stronger and you get great results on Monday
Oh wow, it's raining BFP's in here!!! Woohoo!!!! Big congratulations to airline, jasminstar & mitf Wishing you a safe H&H pg girls! Well done!!!
Huge to you girls!
Airline - Congratulations! I am so for you! Well done on your BFP. Stay as long as you like. We love good news in here!
Mitf - What brilliant news! Who would have thought that your worries would have been turned around like this? I am so very happy for you and hope that the planned BT goes well for you and that your prog levels rise. Let's face it, in the scheme of things to do with pregnancy and labourm rectal pessaries are the least of your worries! You've left me some big shoes to fill but i'll do my best
Jasminstar - I have been a bit this week! My emotions have been all over the place and my cramping really strong. Just hanging now for Saturday. But enough about me - that's fantastic news about your high-tech, expensive POAS! I understand your hesitation so we'll celebrate more tomorrow! Best of luck for it. I'll be checking BB at work whenever I can Don't worry, if I was like my Mum I would have fallen pg naturally at 32 & 34! Instead I am doing IVF at 31. Take it with a grain of salt if you can. Positive thoughts...positive thoughts.....
Welcome back to TLO, Seph & Delly Doo! It's great to have you around again and that it's your time soon.
Hi to London Miss (jealous of your wine diet....it's been 40 days since my last drink.....sounds like an AA meeting!). Also a big hello to Miss K, TLO, Loops12 & Beata70.
Mrs P - So sorry about your POAS result. How did you go with your BT? I hope you're OK - I know the world works in mysterious ways and sometimes you want to shout to the sky "Is this a test?" I'm sure you are stronger than you realise. We're here for you
Hi to everyone else and thanks for all the messages of support.
BT is on Saturday and I am still cramping regularly. My stomach is so distended and the constipation is something else! I read somewhere yesterday that progesterone slows down digestion in the intestines, creating constipation so at least there is an explanation! I am like Airline in that one moment I'm quite calm and positive and then I get worried, then almost peaceful..... Very weird and strange how hormones mess you up. Hoping that I can emulate your result Airline!
WOW - Im loving these BFP's. Well done Jasminstar and Mitf
All the best - hoping your HCG levels rise and sending stickyvibes your way. Very for you both.
And looks like you might be next Taureen. Will be thinking of you and have fingers and toes crossed. GL
Sorry to not be more personal. I don't know where I'm at. AF started today 14dpiui, so right on schedule. Strangely I wasn't expecting it. Should have known we wouldn't get lucky first go. I don't know why but I POAS 10 mins ago, right before I called my FS clinic to book in the next IUI cycle. Whilst chatting to my nurse I walked into the bathroom and saw a very, very faint second line. I asked whether the pregnyl could be causing it but she said after 9 days it would be out of my system. I don't know whether to get crazy hopeful or move on? Anyone been in a similar situation? Help?!
Congrats Airline on your lovely BFP! All the best for a h&h pregnancy!
And Mitf, congratulations and wonderful vibes coming your way...except nobody ever told me about rectal pessaries. OMG. I thought hoo-ha pessaries were bad enough. Good luck for the next few days!
My thoughts are with those with BFNs too...there's really no words of comfort except that we all know what it feels like and it feels like cr*p. Big to you all.
AFM, a few twinges and crampy feelings, just enough to keep me inside my head for another day. I poas this morning (10dpo) and it was BFN. I knew it would be but had to try anyway. Am off to acupuncture this evening and if nothing else it will allow me to relax for an hour and not think about it.
Keep up those BFPs ladies, I expect more good results in the coming days.
So fantastic to see all the BFPs and probable BFPs in here right now
To those with a BFN, i know just how you feel right now as i too just got another BFN.
My blood test was due on Saturday, 16 dpo, but the clinic pushed it out to Monday because they don't work weekends. It is DPs 40th birthday on Saturday and i decided i could not tolerate the TWW during his party. Because i am a nurse it is easy for me to get bloods done, so i sent off a bhcg this morning. It came back at less than five (the lowest measurment) ie.......BFN.
I had actually been chasing my trigger out with POAS and still registered a feint BFP up until last night on FRER........ladies beware of the trigger, it can stay in your system for much longer than you think. But they were getting lighter so i knew they were FBFPs (false big fat positives)!!
So, i went into my FS office to pick up more consent forms as DP goes back overseas next monday and i need them signed before then. The receptionist said hi and asked if i thought it had worked this time, i told her i had a BFN blood test this morning and she says "but it could be a BFP come Monday" with a beaming smile. I was pretty ****ed as there is NO WAY a zero blood bhcg today can become 50+ by Saturday (when its due) and i told her so. She then said "well there is a tiny tiny chance", still beaming. Why do that???? just say "i'm sorry". Anywho, i said "well it's gonna be one drunk baby this weekend" and left. I feel bad for being snappy now.
So, another BFN. Another stim cycle with no snow bubs. Sorry for the rant. I'm just dissapointed.
Jeez, you step out for a couple of hours and it's bloody BFP central! Congratulations and good luck for the next few days/ blood tests
I am horrified by the idea of a rectal pessary (although equally pleased with the phrase 'hoo ha pessary' - that's so good and I think I shall use it at my next FS appt : ) . Got to be the French who invented the former, they like to take medicine up the ... proverbial
Mel/ Mrs P - so sorry to hear your news. Life can be really unfairly crappy. Baby dust for next time
