Possums- Congratulations on your natural miracle!!! Makes you believe in the magic of christmas doesn't it?!
Wow so many words of wisdom, Murphy they ring so true. I'll be joining you end of Jan beginning Feb to try again. Look forward to getting our BFP together.
21 -I'm no expert but i think it would be too early to know anything for sure at 2dpo. Try to enjoy christmas and i hope you get your BFP as a new years present.
Ruth08 - What a wonderful present that would be. I know crinone and pregnyl can give false positives but not sure what other meds can. Maybe ask your FS.
Well i wish you all a wonderful christmas. Will catch up with you all in the new year.
See it just proves that Christmas miracles DO happen!!!!!
Take care of yourself and look forward to hearing how your scan goes.
I wont be back online at this stage until after the New Year.
Want to wish everyone a WONDERFUL Christmas especially for those girls who are PG and my fingers and toes are crossed for all those still waiting in here.
To everyone else, who like myself are patiently awaiting the New Year to commence cycles etc, all the best. Am thinking of you
Possums - Congratulations on your BFP, I am so happy for you!!
What an amazing Christmas present. I am so excited for you honey
Mells77 - Thanks hon hope your preganancy is coming along nicely, you have an awesome Christmas present. Take care of yourself.
Murph01 - I took your advice and had a Nanna nap today, I feel so much better for having it I have my for a miracle for you for Christmas.
MissMagpie - Hi I hope you're well. You have a lovely Christmas and look after yourself.
Good luck everyone else I have missed in the 2WW.
AFM - I thought I was the only 1 going crazy in the 2WW. Well DH wanted me to go buy a kit to do a POAS test last night and I said no cause its too early. I actually didn't want to do a POAS as my BT is on Sat 27th but he is so excited to know he can't wait. So we went and bought a kit and will be testing tomorrow hopefully. I had my EPU on the 9th of Dec and had 2 Blasties transferred, is tomorrow ok to test? Can anyone help this is my first IVF stim cycle. I don't want to test to early, I'm kinda scared to test but DH really wants to know

Hmmm to Poas or not -there have been a couple of ladies recently who poas days before their BT only to receive a bfn, then went on to have a bfp on the bt, so the only advice I would give so close to christmas, is to be aware that if you only see one line, it's really heartbreaking, but it could be incorrect. I am a poas addict, and next time I will be waiting for the BT - they can be very unreliable, but they can be wonderful when 2 lines appear, which quite possibly could show if your hcg is high enough.
hmmmm... for me too about the POAS. i tell myslef everytime that i won't do it next time. it never gives me any comfort...
i have had two positive POAS situations and one of them turned out to be my daughter back in 2004. when i did it then i was only trying naturally and i did it when i was 1 day late.
this year and last year i did the POAS days before i should have and they all, except for one said BFN. that one that was positive turned out to be a chemical pregnancy and the shock was terrible as i did the POAS test 3 days before the BT. i had all the symptoms of being pregnant and was told my HCG was too low for a viable pregnancy.
so my advice is...if you can, hold out until the BT.
if you get a positive it can be false and if you get a negetive you may tell yourself it is wrong because you have all the symptoms.
anyway, goodluck with your wait for the next few days.
i am certainly very envious that you have a wait even though i know how hard it is. my aF is always early so i have only ever got to the BT once!!!
take care...hope this helps.
I caved!!!! And now I'm suffering POASer's remorse...
I've done one Lullaby conceptions test and one confirm early detection test. Both had very faint 2nd lines. I'm now 13 DPO, having had blastie put back in 5 DPO on 16/12/08 (Have I got my days right?). I'm scared that this isn't going to be a positive, in fact, it's bringing back memories of our first little miracle bub, (also very faint lines which we lost at 5 weeks 1 day).
According to google, the crinone doesn't affect HPTs (Ibb - where did you find out that it does?)
Oh how I wish I'd listened to kittykat's advice and waited for proper testing date!
So now, being completely out of HPTs, I have to delve into the Christmas madness and buy some more!
Jen - my advice would be "don't test" - I'd rather be in hopeful waiting that this anxious uncertainity of a faint BFP.
Ruth Honey
pee sticks pick up Hcg levels and crinone is progesterone so will not have any impact. It is simply too early to test. your body produces hcg when you are pregnant and it will get stronger and stronger but right now it would only be very faint as you are only a very little bit pg if you are.
Wait it out and try to put this test out of your mind. I POAS last week and got the faintest positive and I was devastated but realistically we have to wait.
Ruth- ah...the POAS do drive you mad...i caved every time...and when I was pregnant last time, and had the faint faint lines at about 11dpo...I then wondered what that meant, and would it be a chemical pregnancy and come to nothing etc...but at the same time, I think i would be a little hopeful if I was you....there is obviously some hcg in your body...so something has happened in there!..hopefully you will see the lines get darker (I know you will keep testing ..i always do..I still am even now, just to confirm the lines are darker!)
jen- same advice goes to you...I POAS about 4 days before my blood test during my FET and got faint positives....but then you might still worry ..and also,it could be early, and you could get one line, and then you will also worry...I guess you just need to be prepared....I know, given my past experience and behaviour, I would probably cave and test
OMG So excited!!! did a HPT yesterday (well did two...) hoping for news on Christmas day and got 2 x very strong BFP's!!! Did another today and just as dark..!!!
I finished Crinone Tuesday.. does ANYONE know at all if this can give a false positive??
I am really hoping it doesn't... My (.)(.) are sore, large and starting to get very vieny so I'm praying its all a good sign! (I had my emby transfer 14 days ago)..
Ladies thank you for all your advice on the POAS topic. DH really wanted me to do it so I did. Well the first one on Wed came up with a faint 2nd line. I was so excited as this has never happened to me in 13 years but I didn't want to get my hopes up. So I POAS again the next day and it was a bit darker DH was beside himself but I was not getting too excited yet.
Today I went for my BT and I got a BFP! I am stunned and humbled and I didn't think that a miracle would ever happen to me but it did. I prayed and prayed. Girls if it can happen to me I know it can happen to you I'm praying for you all.
Now I will probably worry for the next 7.5 months but I am continuing to pray I am ever so grateful and happy.
Don't give up girls dreams do come true now I want to see a whole lot of BFPs in 2009!
wow.
