ok my heart skipped a beat, lol... i saw your post and i was like... yay results! :pray: for u!
You girls are funny..now you are making me laugh!!
Hi Ladies,
Bel just asked me to post for her that currently the results are 'inconclusive'.
HCG is really low so maybe just the pregnyl leftovers.
She is seeing the Doc in the morning and has now gone to bed for a nap as not feeling well.
Hang in there friend...
Bel - I'm :pray: for you my lovely. I hope the numbers pick up tomorrow.

Bel :hug: I hope the results are conclusive in the morning. Have a great rest.
Hi Bel, thinking of you, take it easy and I will be praying for a conclusive for you tomorrow. Hugs
:hug:thinking of you bel and i hope thoses numbers rise:pray:have a nice rest hunny and take care :hug:
Goodluck Bel..
I hope you get the result you're after tomorrow..
Hey Bel, I'll be thinking of you today and I'm sending you bubba vibes for those positive results you want - let us know the outcome when you are ready. I hope you are coping ok and are feeling better today.
PS: I was the same last night when I came home from the conference. I had heaps of notification emails but I didn't wan to skip to the bottom and read the last one. So I sat there reading each on and every time I saw your name at the top part of a new post I was like "oh, oh, oh....bels been on....ohhhh no news" - Isn't it funny how we can get so caught up so quickly in the life of people we don't know and yet have a connection to because of circumstance (not complaining - I wouldn't change being a part of this. Just an observation)
Best wishes and prayers for today.
XXXXXXX
Bel - sending you my best wishes for today. :hug:
Hi Bel,
Just wanted to let you know we are all thinking about you, I hope your meeting went well with the Dr, sending you positive vibes and lots of :hug:

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your support and kind wishes.
Had my appointment with our FS this morning and another blood test. Another negative I'm afraid. I knew it would be after yesterdays result.
Sara and BDT- I wish you all the very very best and I hope you get a BFP at the end of your wait. Thankyou both for your support. I'm going to take the weekend to get my head around things before I turn the computer on again. I have the church rehearsal this afternoon for my SIL's wedding tomorrow, so things are going to be really hard.
I'll check in on Mon and see how you are all going.
You all really help to make this journey just that little bit easier and I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you wonderful ladies.
Hugs Bel
Bel - I know nothing I say will make this any easier for you so I will just give you big :hug::hug::hug::hug:
I am thinking of you. Be kind to yourself Bel.
Janie xxx
BEL - I am so sorry. I was praying so hard that it would turn out positive. Be kind to yourself. Thinking of you :hug:
Oh Bel, I am so very sorry, please know we are here if you need us and look forward to supporting you as you move forward. Take care and talk to you when you are ready. :hug:
Oh Bel...:hug::hug:...
Come take my hand
We will walk together
And though pass not a whisper
your pain says enough
come lets walk together.....
Good morning all, it is very quite in here.
Bel, just in case you are back on line, I hope you are ok. Been thinking about you.
Sarab, how are you going so far, I hope you are keeping well.
Me, I am very afraid I am out. I couldn't help myself and did a HPT yesterday and today. Stupid me totally did it the wrong way yesterday and ended up with a really weird result in the wrong spot of the stick that looked like two faint lines, so I spent all day yesterday in tortured hope, didn't sleep last night, and tested again this morning. This time it worked properly and was a very definate negative. So I am out of hope. I am 13dpo today, surely if it was going to be postive I would have had HCG in my system by now. The test was a lullaby conceptions at 20 iui. AF is due tomorrow, BT on Thur. I am dreading the next few days, now rather than wishing time away til Thur, I wish it would stop, I don't want the official confirmation from the BT. Although they say it is not over til its over, what's the point of senseless hope? So totally bumed, don't even want to look forward to the next cycle. Life sucks.
Baby Dreamtime - You poor thing... You have to think positive. It's not over till the blood test result is in. It is still early.. I am thinking of you often & am sending you positive thoughts. :hug:
However, in saying that I am struggling too.... I have wanted to do a pregnancy test every day & am trying so hard not to - because I think it is probably too early... Only 7 days since the ET.
This two week wait thing sucks.....:D
I wasn't this impatient when I did IUI... But I think the whole IVF process is so long & emotional & the long road that you take to get here in the first place... trying every herbal remedy & technique...
I went to a friend's baby christening yesterday & it was so hard. There were babies everywhere & pregnant ladies... I was almost homicidal...
I find it ultra difficult when people say things like "we struggled to have our third child - we tried for 3 months before I fell pregnant.. you just have to keep trying it will happen.." I know people mean well, & I don't say anything but it almost crushes me. :( They just don't understand.
Sorry for being long winded and whingy today...

Hi Baby Dreamtime, sorry to hear that... I know you would have heard it before but HPT's readings before AF is due is often not accurate.:
Well.. BDT- I think I am out too... I have started spotting... & have had cramps since the ET. I don't know what to do now. :help:

Hi Sara,
Did you do a Day 3 or a blastie transfer? If Day 3, you would only be 10dpo, so it might be too early for AF? If a blastie I guess that would make you 12dpo? Is that right? Remember spotting can be implantation spotting so might be too early to worry. I really hope AF is not on the way, hang in there, this could still be the month. :pray::pray:
I too am bumed, have been on the verge of tears all day. Will do another HPT tomorrow (14dpo) just in case but not holding any hope. DH has sent me flowers to try to cheer me up, but it is not working. Just feeling so frustrated and 'why me' and 'it's not fair'.
Like you said earlier, it is not over til the AF shows, so :crossfingers: for you.
Hugs!
Thanks BDT - Had Day 5 blastie transfer so that makes me 12dpo. Have just done a HPT & of course it's negative. So am feeling extra awful now. Finding it very hard to concentrate at work. I just want to tell everyone at work that I don't care about their stuff..& to get lost - I am having a "poor me" moment.
Finers Crossed for us both!

Hi Sara,
This life is crazy, what we do to ourselves for this hoped for BFP. And it is so unfair that everyone else seems to have it happen so easily.
12dpo is still early, they say the average to test positive is 13.6 dpo, so you are still in with a chance. :pray::pray:
I guess I have given up on this one, have already planned out the dates for my next stim cycle, I think I will have to go back on the pill next month and start stims around the end of Sept, EPU on the 10th Oct and ET on the 13th. EDD would be 2 July 2009. I am crazy! Ahead of myself already. I guess that is called being optimistic.
DH's sister gets married the 18th Oct, we will be away for 4 days and the timing looks close. Am now doing some research to see if it is absolutely necessary to go on the pill next cycle, or if I can go straight into a stim cycle. I hate to say this too, but I have been secretly fearing that she will get pregnant before me (she's 29) and have been so fearful that it will happen straight after the wedding. DH is 7 years older than her, I really wanted him to be the first one to have a child. I feel so guilty and just want to be pregnant and am so scared that it always happens to everyone else but me. Sigh.
I guess the waiting continues.
Stay positive, you only have a few more days to you BT, :crossfingers: and lots of :hug:.
Hi BDT, Dont give up totally - your blood test is still to come. :pray:
I don't know what to expect if this BT negative. I only have one in the freezer - as I got a call from my clinic the day after my ET to tell me that one of my blasties didn't survive freezing...
I guess I will have to wait a cycle as this was a very long stimulated cycle?? Had to start taking pill in June & had weeks & weeks of that before taking the synarel & then puregon injections. I also am not very fond of the Crinone cream - I have affectionately named it "no more gaps"....
I just seem to have to wait all the time. Each time I have had an ectopic I have had to wait a couple of cyles before trying the next thing IUI or IVF treatment. I am so sick of waiting...
I guess we are all sick of waiting & trying. Just ignore my rantings...
Thinking of you. Talk soon.

Hi BDT and Sara- Ooh you poor girls. You both seem so stressed out. I have to tell you though and many ladies here have heard this story, but I have a bad POAS experience. My 2nd IVF cycle I did a POAS the day before BT and got a BFN....then I did 1 the morning of BT and got a BFN. I went to the clinic in tears and the nurse was like...oh well we don't have to do a BT if you don't want to then. I insisted on a BT and would you believe got a BFP!! My mum is also a nurse and the thinks POAS's are so inaccurate...especially if using them before AF is due. So..basically I'm trying to say, please don't give up hope. I am proof that a BFN on a POAS doesn't mean a BFN. While I totally agree in planning ahead in case of the worst, I want you to both stay positive until you get the call telling you otherwise. I have everything crossed for you both.
AFM, am moving forward again. AF came on Friday, so I started progynova again today, scan the end of next week, for a TF the week following. There is a really big chance my one last embie won't make the thaw as I have lost an average of 66% of my embies once they are frozen, but I have to try.
Stay strong girls
Hugs Bel
Hi Bel, glad to see you are back, we have been worried about you. And glad that you are looking forward, I guess once you get over the grieving you can move forward again in anticipation of the next cycle. At least with FETs you can go straight back into it.
I just did a hpt that measured 10iui, so super sentive, and nothing, zip, nil, BFN. I am no longer holding any hope...but will wait for my BT results on Friday before I have my meltdonw. I am dreading next month on the pill, such a waste of time. And I no longer feel guilty about being impatient. It will be 4 years TTC for us in Dec. Long enough, I don't know how much longer I can endure this.
Bel, I will pray for you that you blastie survives, and this is the one. Hugs, xx
Thinking of you girls....:hug:
Hi girls,
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news for you Bel. I hope you are keeping well and strong.
BDT, I hope you are doing ok too. Like everyone else said , It ain't over til it's over.
Sarab, same to you. I'll be keeping it all crossed for you too.
Thanks Nic,
Good luck and :pray: for you for your transfer on Thursday, hope everything goes great and look forward to you joining us in the TWW. :hug:
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 :pray: 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.
:hug:
Thanks BDT for your support & knowledge!
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.

Hi Girls..I'm just lurking!
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.
Big hugs to you both. I've been thinking of you
Hugs Bel
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 :pray: 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.;)
Hi everyone,
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 :pray: 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. :hug:
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.
Hugs Bel
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.

Sara, I am so sorry too, it would have been great if it had been a BFP first up. I hope you still have your hopes up and can survive the wait til Oct. I guess it is sometimes a little bit trial and error and ensuring everything comes together, I am sure it will happen next time for you. I look forward to hearing of your success. Lots of :hug:
