Buliej...good luck...it's hard to resist doing the HPTs I know....I've done my share in the past too....I'll probably do one this time round too, a bit closer to my BT...but they are so often not accurate, or you do them too early etc. Hope you get a BFP!
as for me...well, it will be a one week wait from tomorrow. First few days have been OK, although I know very soon I will start trying to interpret every twinge in my body and look for signs!
It's hard to be relaxed during this time, even though I know that's the aim!
hope the rest of you are doing OK.
Bee...good luck for you BT today!!! Hoping to see you here with a BFP later today. fingers crossed
Thanks Possums - but I got AF last night - I could feel it coming during the day as well.
I'm not sure what is next for me. I only have 1 frozen and I'm reluctant to move forward with just one (which may not make it anyway) as I'll be 42 in Dec and if we want 2 kids, I feel like we should have some frozen bubs in reserve. I know they don't like to do back-to-back cycles and I'll be overseas for most of Oct...I have a call in to my doctor to see what's next
buliej, I am so sorry it hasnt worked for you this time. Take care of yourself, and then work on a plan for what to do next...it helps to have something to move forward to and I am sure your FS will have some advice. i hope you are doing OK.
Buliej - I'm so sorry to hear about that wicked witch arriving.
Possums - So excited to see you back in the TWW! that this is the one. I'm a big believer in FET's after my first one was successful. I just think that your body and mind is in a more relaxed state, which must help.
I have been away travelling with work, it was good for taking my mind off things. But unfortunately the weekend brought bad news for me - AF started with a vengeance on Friday night after 2 days of spotting. I wasn't worried about the spotting but the flow has been twice as intense as it normally is and so early - normally I have long cycles. So my BT is Wednesday but I know I am over and out for this cycle. It's so hard not to be disappointed. Everyone around me is pg except me Arggh!! And because I had a stim cycle I will have to rest this coming month.
So bulij and jbm - sorry yours didn't work out this cycle either. Let's hope the next one is ours!!! I have four frosties so am hoping one of them will stick around sometime.
I will probably disappear off here for a little while I lick my wounds and try to think about other things.
Good luck to everyone still in the game - sending sticky vibes and best wishes x
Aleenta...big hug to you...my heart goes out to you. It's so dissapointing and hard. Take time out for yourself....it's good though that you have four frosties...so you know you have more chances, without a full stim cycle. We were thrilled we had just the one frozen, so we at least had this one extra chance ...
Aleenta - I am sorry too. Maybe Possums will give us hope (I've looked through this thread...%-wise (in terms of success rates) there should be a BFP from someone soon)!
As you all seem to know much more about multiple cycles (this was my first), I'd be interested if you have a response to my post under "back-to-back flare cycles - and other related questions"
Janie...I also meant to say hello to you and thank you for the well wishes. I hope things are progressing well with you... where are you posting now, so i can come and see where you are up to with everything.
hi girls
Well my wait is finally over and the results are in and i'm very happy to say it's a BFP!!!! All the praying looks like its paid off as my hcg was nearly 500.
To everyone who found this wasnt there month i send my love and to those still waiting keep yourself busy and the time will fly sending baby dust to all
I had my blood test today and it came back a 4. I know I'm not pregnant - I have full-on AF at the moment! This matters because my FS agreed that I could start a 2nd Flare cycle immediately, but she won't do it unless my BT drops (I'm being re-tested tomorrow). I know she knows best - but why would my BT come back as a 4 (on day 13 post ET) ... what does this mean?
Also, assuming it drops and she lets me start the cycle, I will have missed 3 doses of Synarel and 1 gonal f injection...
Buliej...I am not an expert, but one reason could be that you were pregnant for a short time (ie your embryo implanted and kept growing for a while), and your body started producing the pregnancy hormone, and then your embryo stopped growing and you had a very early miscarriage. In those cases it can take a while for the hormone levels to go right back to zero. I know some of the other ladies here have had very low levels at their BT and been told that means the pregnancy is not viable, but it is classed as a miscarriage, or in some cases a missed miscarriage (if they have not started bleeding).
I am sure it is very frustrating for you when you want to move forward. I guess your FS wants to be sure all is right before you move on. Like I said, I'm not an expert on these things though.
As for your concerns about the doses of synarel etc, I honestly don't think it matters if you start sniffing a bit later into your period. I know when I was on the stim cycle, I actually started sniffing toward the end of my period (as my clinic has a set day they like you to start, and that happened to be towards the end of my period from memory). If you are worried though, ask your FS about that...perhaps ring her today to set your mind at ease. It's a bit different at different clinics it seems.
Good luck, let us know how you get on. I know it's stressful going through all this
Thanks Possums...yes, I'm just very stressed about this all. My FS is not in today (she's ill) but I hope to speak to her tomorrow. Everything you said makes perfect sense - I'll try to be patient - definitely not one of my strong points.
I hope things are a bit clearer for you tomorrow then. Patience is not one of my strong points either! But sadly we need so much of it on this rollercoaster...that and faith and hope and lots of inner strength.

I pray you have a healthy, smooth pregnancy.
