Oh Tish you poor thing. I hope you are having a good rest this arvo. We'll keep you company til Thursday. I'm so very happy for you though that you didn't receive bad news. That's the main thing at this stage. Stay strong. Sounds like your DH is a great, supportive person for you. Let us know if we can do ANYTHING for you. Rest well and look after yourself. AND we'd make sure you weren't kicked to another thread if there was one. You're here with us on this journey.
Hugs Bel

Tish - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! How frustrating for you poor love. Let's be realistic..it's gone up..right?? OK OK maybe this embie is just warming up. I guess we have to sweat it out another week. We will all be here with you hun. I feel your frustration poor thing.
Put your feeties up and be good to yourself over the weekend - take it easy..

Tish: hopefully good things come tothose who wait but man does it suck waiting, really hope you get good news soon

Deni: it was an awesome night in Perth we went ot the marcia hines concert at joondalup and it was really lovely, must admit loving the cool weather at the moment. Yes its pretty much AF i always get some spotting to start with but its getting there

im actually doing better than i thought i would be and its weird because i didnt mention the IVF thing to DH and last night he said he thinks we need to look into it so i guess thats good. thinkin ill do one more IUI and prepare then for IVF.
Lulu: I agree that phone call is just way to painful, we have to ring for results at my clinic and they always put you on hold, and i end up a basket case by the time they get to me. The worse thing was when i had my ep, the nurse came on the phone before she looked at my chart and said oh congratulations, then found she had to break that bad news about my betas falling, not a good call i felt more sorry for her than i did myself, so yes heads up is a good idea.
Bel: thanks sooo much my luv, the worrying about another ep really did my head in this month so i dont think ill be doing too many more IUI's
Sorry girls can i ask one more question:
When you pay for IVF is that just one cycle or do you pay for retrivel and then another amount when you do FET im really confused????

**Bel** · February 15th, 2008, 03:38 PM

Scooby- My initial cycle costs included the pick up and then the transfer of the fresh embryo a couple of days later.
Then if you need to use any of the embryos they froze from the initial cycle,the next cycle using a frozen embryo is another new fee but less than the original cycle that involved the pick up

Does that confuse you even more or help you?? Hope it helps.

Hope you are doing ok. Feeling for you today.. Enjoy your weekend though. Have a break from all this stress and do something fun

That was a big help thanks Bel. Im really doing ok thanks for asking, its so ridiculous but there is somekind of relief knowing either way, IYKWIM. Hope your going ok, i wont keep butting in here but know im lurking and thinking of you all. BFP all round.

**Bel** · February 15th, 2008, 03:50 PM

You're not butting in. Love chatting to you. I understand the relief thing. I'll feel the same on Mon.

Will chat to you soon

**deni** · February 15th, 2008, 04:13 PM

scooby sounds good that you're already thinking ahead to your next try. go girl !!

For me, the frustrating thing about being on HCG every 3 days and pessaries daily, is that my body doesn't give me any pre-AF signs like spotting before BT, even if I'm BFN... totally tricks my body and then my mind gets a bit carried away .... grrr. Last IUI AF only came after I stopped the pessaries when told of BFN... wish I had a bit of warning but in some ways dont want it either IYKWIM ?

Bel - ooh so close to bT time. HOpe the weekend flies by.

Tish - how excruitiating - almost a whole more week to wait! Hope your levels blast those nurses out of the water next Thursday!

Have a great weekend girls. Positive vibes to all!

**Bel** · February 15th, 2008, 04:19 PM

Deni- I wish I could go to bed tonight and wake up on Monday.. Thanks for your thoughts. For me I kind of like the no signs thing. Last cycle I got all the way to the day before BT and AF came. I was so sure I was pg as it was my first cycle and a friend I had referred to my FS had fallen pregnant on her 1st cycle. So I just assumed I would. I went into this so positive at the start that I was just floored when AF came. Now I'm not so sure. Just really scared..

You have a great weekend too

xx

Girls hope your weekends pass calmly and quickly for you so you can get closer to your BFP'S

**Bel** · February 15th, 2008, 06:16 PM

Thanks Blizz. And the same to you..

Is anyone doing anything fabulous??

And POAS's don't count!! although I will be doing one myself- hopefully the result is fabulous..

**blizz** · February 15th, 2008, 06:49 PM

I'm way to early for POAS worst luck!!! so I'm planning a quiet weekend at home to relax and maybe (if I can muster enthusiasm)do some light house cleaning, doesn't sound like lots of fun but I think it will suit me just fine

**Visitor9** · February 16th, 2008, 07:31 AM

OMG I was dry retching this morning LOL I am only 7 post transfer so that would be about day 9 DPO, that is way too early I think my body is enjoying playing all these tricks on me.
The dreaded POAS is calling my name but trying to at least hang out till Wednesday BT due Friday

**MsPink** · February 16th, 2008, 07:53 AM

Bec - am loving the dry retching and sore BB...who knows indeed...

Am feeling really deflated this morning. I did another POAS and I think the line is a little more faint. I wont call it till tomorrow...but now feeling so sad. I really thought this time might be it. Yeah yeah I am going to wait...but I guess I kinda know..

Bel - I sooooooooo hope yours is gonna be better then mine...

**Visitor9** · February 16th, 2008, 08:45 AM

Lulu,
Hun please dont give up, I hit rock bottom my last cycle to the point it was a very scarey place as I sat after doing 2 HPT on a Saturday and got BFN's I went to the BT on monday and when they called me back to say Congrats I said No No I have tested and it said no and she said well I can tell you different and that was a DPO 14 Hcg of 180 so it wasnt low it just took its time getting there.
Hope this is the case with you.
Bec

**Bel** · February 16th, 2008, 10:33 AM

Goodmorning all you lovely ladies (or good afternoon as Lulu will point out!!)

Hope everyone has wonderful weekends planned. I'm lying in bed waiting for this lovely pessary to do its work before my day begins. Will hopefully chat to you all over the weekend. I know I'm going to need it tomorrow. Monday is D day.So excited but also petrified. Am going to POAS today so we'll see how that goes. Didn't do it last cycle at all, but you ladies have corrupted me. I feel like I'm missing out with all this POAS business going on!!

Tish- how are you feeling today? Did you have a good rest yesterday afternoon? I hope you are keeping your spirits up and are staying really positive

Bec- I hope the dry retching is a sign of good things to come...I felt really nauseous last night but I'm certain it was the fish and chips I ate!! Damn it!

Lovely Lulu- Please don't feel sad. I really believe there are way too many different variables at this stage that could influence the strength of that damn pink line. I am absolutley freaking about doing this POAS today myself, cause I just don't want to lose hope. But please don't you lose hope. You know better than any of us Dr Lulu that it's far to early to make any call yet. Stay strong. I am here for you. AND you'd better be enjoying your pampering today. Bug hugs

I'll chat to you all through the day
Hugs to eveyone

**blizz** · February 16th, 2008, 11:01 AM

all right how many have given in to POAS?....LOL!!I wish I could as well!!!!!! only 5 days post transfer probably a tad early for me, I hate the waiting game.
how are your weekends progressing I've been so lazy it's not funny started by sleeping in till 10:30 (which is totally unheard of for me) Have been cruising around the house it is a hot sticky day in Tassie (don't fall over in shock) have hung out 3 loads of washing about to have lunch and on my way to fold way too much more.

**Bel** · February 16th, 2008, 12:44 PM

Ok so I hate the POAS. HATE HATE HATE. A BFN for me. I know it could be too early and even the clinic told me that but I just wanted to be able to relax and enjoy my weekend. And I've got some pains again. Just want all these mind games over. I'm still trying really hard to be positive but I have to admit I just had another big cry.

Lulu- sorry I didn't see you online before. Are you doing ok? If it's too early for me to get a BFP than it's too early for you too..we have to be positive together. Let me know how you are going

Blizz- washing for me too. How can 2 people create so much washing??!! And don't give in to the POAS. I wish I hadn't now
