Hi Bel - Great to see you back & positive about your next cycle!
Well, I am positive it's all over for me - I have now started AF. My clinic still want me to go for the blood test on Friday (god knows what for). As this was my first Stim IVF cycle - I am not sure where I go from here. Whether I have to wait a cycle before I can do the FET... Am waiting for a call from my specialist to see what he wants me to do...

Hi Sara,
I'm so sorry, we were really hoping and for you. I know how dissapointed you are, believe me, most of us have been there.
My first two cycles I got AF 4 - 6 days before my BT, this cycle AF has not yet arrived, and I think it is to do with the fact the FS doubled my progesterone this cycle. My temps are also perfect, where as last two cycles they were far too low and all over the place. Though not sure if you are having any progesterone support, I haven't done a fresh ET cycle yet.
I called the clinic this morning and asked to do my BT 2 days early, so have just been for the test and will get confirmation this afternoon. At least then I can stop the progesterone and bring on AF, so I can get started on the next cycle. Will have to book an appointment with FS asap. Why are they making you wait til Friday?
Following my last stim cycle I had a natural cycle, I think they want your body to recover from the stims, then started with back to back FET cycles (but am now out of frosties so back to stims). I know what you mean, once you get the BFN you just want to get on to the next cycle, the next chance. Be positive for the next time.
Yes - I have been using the Crinone 8% progesterone cream once daily & I am waiting on specialist to confirm whether I can now stop that. Awful stuff it is. I am also going to ask him if he wants the blood test can I do it asap rather than Friday.
I still have my fingers crossed for you - even though you are fairly sure. So happy that you are positive & concentrating on the next cycle just in case.
I will feel better when I know what happens next for me. I will not like a month wait before I can keep going - but if that is what I have to do - then so be it.

#5 Waiting to find out what happens now...
Sara- I'm so sorry AF has come. I know how you are feeling and for me truly, the best thing is to get a plan started straight away to focus on. Stay strong and look after yourself.
BDT- I really really hope you get a nice surprise this afternoon. You deserve it so much. I'll check in on you when I can get near a computer.
I am so sorry Sara but is it heavy or light. I was pg last time when I had light bleeding which I thought was AF.
BDT, I was told (and also read a very reliable research paper stating) that crinone does not prevent AF from arriving. I was on crinone in my stim cycles and it did not prevent AF from coming at full force. The lack of AF might still be good news! I am for you...
Bel good to see (in this virtual world) you again. You will have your baby next time. I just know it! I had a very good vibe with Janie last time and it turned out right.
Thanks Kahlan for your well wishes. I wish too but I got my BT results this afternoon. A very definite BFN, as I expected, either it hasn't really hit me yet or my crying and wailing over the past two days have totally drained me and I have nothing left. I have an appointment to see FS on Monday to discuss the next cycle, which will be a stim cycle as no frosties left. I am hoping that he agrees to do a short cycle and start right away as I am dreading going on the pill.
I am devastated, and trying to keep my hopes up for next time, next month, next cycle, praying already that it will be the one. And back to freaking out about my embryo quality, I hope this next stim cycle is more controlled and I don't get over stimulated so they can be the best eggs possible. I hope it was just the OHSS that resulted in slow growing and fragmented embies. And DH is now on a diet to make sure his contributions are in the best possible shape too. I did consider a comiserating bottle of champers, but can't bring myself to do and would hate to regret it later.
At least I am sort of excited to be doing a new stim cycle, and hope a fresh transfer will be what makes the difference for me.
Sara, like Kahlan said, it might not be AF. Did you get an earlier BT date from your FS. I hope its not AF and that you are still in with a chance.
Bel, I hope I can join you again next cycle, and will start now that it will be the one for both of us that we get that BFP.
I am off to Noosa on Friday afternoon to do the Mayan Uterine Massage, this might make a difference too, or am I grasping at straws. I guess every step, no matter how hard it is, is one step closer to my dream.
Sending love and prays to all of us in our TTC journeys.
BDT- I am so so very sorry. I truly am. I know your pain. Please if you need to chat at all let me know. Take good care of you and DH and your hearts. Be strong.
Hi Ladies, Thanks for your wishes. AF came on strong - & also had BT - Definate BFN!
My fertility specialist wants me to wait at least a cycle before trying with my one frostie in the fridge.
Good Luck Bel & BDT with this cycle coming. I will pop in & see how you going.
Thank you again for your support.
