Hi Ladies - a quick question. I'm on an IUI cycle, was taking Puregon, Trigger was Ovidrel, first pregnyl injection due tomorrow (IUI was done on Wednesday this week).......is implantation time the same as a non stimulated cycle ie 7 to 10 days after procedure?? or is it earlier? I'm not expecting anything early, I've just been meaning to ask the question of the nurses and keep forgetting!!
Baby2B: I would class day after IUI as Day 1, and yes, I am pretty sure the LP is the same as a non ac cycle. Have a read back in the old TTC with IUI cycles, there is mountains of info there about IUI's. I found it so helpful
Loula: fingers crossed for you today if you decided to poas,
Aleenta: Happy tummy rubs to you
Molly: I hope your wrong, and the witch stays away
Murph: Oh I mean Pam ... I hope you have supportive bra to help you out, fingers crossed
AFM: I have been lurking, hoping for you all, from the sidelines. My af due the 4/5th March. Still having the headaches across the forehead, which I had last time, before I poas'd, and I remember looking back and saying, "oh that's what those headache's were".. The only real symptom I can hold a little hope of a natural miracale on.. I have made an appt with optomotrist (sp)for next week
B2B I believe implantation can occur later than 10 dpo.
Loula/Mollygirl wasn't today POAS day? I hope things are ok for you both. MG I had cramping last cycle I did and I was UTD. I also had 3 BFN POAS the 3 days before BT - I had no idea I was UTD. It is not over til the BT
Murph01 aka Pam , good sign hunny and great story. I convinced myself that my BB were because of all the poking I was doing but it was a real sign. Hoping you
AFM, I am still lurking around the place. I should be over half way through my TWW, but haven't been thinking about it tooo much. Had a little cramping on cd 20 which could have been constipation (!) but nothing else since then. I am off for the next 4 days in Brisbane so I look forward to seeing how you are all going then. I probably wont POAS but you never know....
You know what, in amongst all of my moping around and feeling sorry for myself, I have only just realised that someone bought me a platinum membership.
Thank you so much to the kind soul out there. You just made me smile on a day where i thought nothing would cheer me up - thank you!
What helped me a little is that I told myself over and over that in nature, not every fertillised egg takes. There is only a 50% chance and people not having IVF have the same problem ('cept they aint payin like we are ) Our bodys are imitating what would occur in nature.
Mollygirl,I'm really sorry for you. It seems you knew your body signs and it's just awful that you had to have another set-back on this long hard journey. Give those king charles spaniels lots of extra cuddles...dogs are the best people! They always find something to smile about and it catches on Take care of yourself.
I tested early and I got a BFN but I'm not ruling anything in or out yet. I take heart from Dusty's experience with 3 BFNs and then a positive blood test. I'm not feeling AF, but then didn't last month either. You just never know with all this progesterone in the system.
I only had the one POAS with the strict instructions...do not use until 2/2/09 (yeah right!) so I won't know anything til my blood test now.
I'll keep you abreast of any further changes with me. Bad bad bad.
Hi Mollygirl,
I am sorry that you got a BPN today. I POAS today too and I got a BPN, it's so disappointing
I am sorry to hear that you are sad and I hope that you start to feel better soon.
It's so close now I'm so so so excited. I still feel so different this time. I haven't told very many people and I think that has been a big help. Last time there were too many well wishers. I know they mean well but I got sick of all the pressure. This time it's DP step son, and one lady from work who is 7 months pregnant after TTC for 4 years. I know she respects my privacy and only does a thumbs up sign when she sees me. Makes me feel happy but not like she's in my personal life too much.
Any other ladies feel like that with ICSI/IVF TTC, no privacy, everyone thinks it's ok to tak TTC 24/7.
Being in my own home this week has been amazing. I've had a great feeling all week, It's PEACE and space. Love it!
So 8am Monday. In I go then busy busy busy till Noon when I find out. BFP
Murph - your BB story - hilarious - I was looking at mine in the mirror today and they have definitely had a growth spurt but I am telling myself it's probably just the progesterone pessaries, although very hard not to get hopes up
Dusty - hope your au naturale TWW is progressing well
Mollygirl and Lianne - big hugs to you both, I'm sorry your POAS was not positive - it's very hard to keep positive when that happens
Greenslw - Good luck for Monday 8am - let's hope Monday's are lucky - my BT is the following monday at 750am.
AFM - still crazy busy at work and have the in-laws visiting which has been a bit challenging - haven't told them about ivf, they are elderly and I just don't think they would understand, but not drinking has been hard - a glass of wine or too can really take the edge of things when you have house visitors - instead I have turned to chocolate!
I have experienced a lot of twinges this month which I haven't had before, but I am not sure if it is in my head. I am really looking forward to accupuncture on Monday - really makes me feel good - and yes am still rubbing my tummy!!
Can anyone tell me whether or not prog pessaries interfere with POAS? Am not sure whether or not I should this time??? Have not have prog before so unsure..... Also what false symptoms does it give? - let me guess - all of them
I get confused with DPO and when should I test - I had ET last Monday - day 3 embies, and I had a shot of ovidrel on the sat prior and only prog since.....
Hey does anyone know if there is any benefit to having BT even when you know you are not pg? I have tested a few times all BFN and i am so pre menstrual its not funny. My BT is tomorrow but the clinic is so far out of my way and i have to be late for work amd i just wondered if anyone knew if they check other hormone levels and stuff that might be useful info to them???? If not i really don't see the point in going. Besides, is it just me, or does anyone else find it hard to hear that you are not pg even when you know you are not pg. I just hate that call.
Any advice???
Hi Mollygirl1977 - You just never know.. If AF hasn't arrived there is still hope.. Dusty got 3 BFN's and then a positive BT.. I don't want to freak you out but it can happen.. I am really hoping that this is the case for you... Goodluck Hun...
my understanding is they are able to see if there was any implantation at all - so could be useful information for the future and also to rule out possible ectopic issue as well. I know it's really hard, the way I have looked at it in the past is as an 'information gathering' BT and I just assume a negative phone call.
On the other hand as lil miss says its not over until it's over so for this reasons plus the ones above if you can bring yourself to do it, it's probably not a bad idea.....
Hey Molly - i would still go for BT as they will rule out if implantation happened at all?
AFM - I know that i am not UTD, after 12 cycles and 4 MC and 1 ectopic, you really do just know. i was so negative about this cycle and TBH just did it to use up these embies as i knew that they would never stick!
Have been away all weekend and only POASed today when we returned and as guess BFN, i will try to pursuade my clinic to let me bring my BT forward to Tuesday as it works easier with me for work, and i just want to get off this bloody HRT and P4, ao that af came begin and i can start to feel a little normal again.
I will go for BT in the morning, after all, after 9 transfers and no BFP i would almost welcome the information that implantation had at least begun to take place. At least it would have been a start. It just gets so frustrating when you feel like your body can't even fall pregnant. Not that i ever want to know the heartache of a MC but i just wish i knew that i could fall. Does this make sense???
