I am so sorry to hear that you must be terrible disappointed. Don't want to give you false hope but I think as long as AF is not there, maybe wait until the BT before giving up on it
Sara
Have been sitting on the PC surfing the net, procrastination, supposed to be studying, looking at options for my 40th in July. Any ideas?
Saph - I"m sorry darl. I hope you're wrong (and HPT's can be wrong!) and that you get a surprise tomorrow. If not, I hope that you can move on swiftly to the next step. Hang in there.
Babysteps - welcome to the 2WW! Yes, apparantly we are supposed to ignore all the symptoms Still, I think we are supposed to go mad during this time.
Loops - this whole process puts a strain on the relationship, that's for sure. I hope you and DH are able to come to some sort of peace, but it isn't easy, I know.
Spring - maybe you should start a macrame craze? Haven't seen that ***** since the 70's. Clean out some cupboards? Re-organise a room in the house? All the best to you in the crazy waiting game.
HEy to all my other friends in here - WLAB, BDT, Aleenta, Rob, and anyone I have missed....I can hear DH's car pull up and I have to at lest pretend to be studying.....
Loops - Sounds like you are going throug a tough time. I'm sure it's just a rough patch. This kind of weather, plus the strain of IVF can do it to any couple. Hang in there.
Babysteps - Welcome! Hope the sympoms are for all th right reasons. Best of luck for Tuesday. That's also my DH b'day. I'm hoping it is a fantastic day.
Neptune - Macrame? Don't think that's for me. However... cleaning is something that I can do that takes my mind off everything. I think you're onto something! It's just so hot its hard to get the motivation to start!
AFM - Still no sign of anything happening. No sore BB, no cramping, no nausia, no NOTHING! I feel completely normal ARGH!!!!
Here's a situation for you. If you are invited out to say, a staff social gathering and everyone is drinking, except you and they ask why, what do you say? Every time I say it's because I'm on medication they say, "What, are you pregnant?"
Why don't they believe me? (ok I'm not the best lyer) and what should I maybe say instead? I don't want them to know.
Spring ... You can say you are on a de-tox, trying to loose a few kilo's, or had a big nite the night before and could not handle one more drink !!
The other day, I had a lemon/lime/bitters and everyone just assumed it had vodka in it ..
AFM: I would lurrrve a vodka .. I am crampy and feeling very pre af - I am all but counting myself out, I have no faith this cycle has worked, in fact I just rang the clinic, and asked the protocol for swapping over to another fs within the clinic.. I am not feeling the love with this one, and I know I am going to have to try again ..
Wouldluvabubba - I wish it was that easy! It would be nice for a drink right about now. Oh, how good would a fruity ****tail be, Sex on the Beach!!! ...the drink I mean.
Hi Lyra : Every clinic is different , did you have IUI ? They make the BT after af would "normaly" be expected, so if you are going to get a positive, its a clear positive, and vise versa, they like you to get the BT even of your period (af) arrives because you can still bleed and be pregnant. And as for you nurses being unfriendly, I wouldnt put up with that !!! My FS's bedside manner has been questionable, and I am no longer putting up with that either ... Ring up and complain to some-one without leaving your name, they need to get there act together and be supportive ...
Well, as you can all tell, I am on the rampage, probably b/c af arrived ..... OHHHHHHHHH I cant beleive it , another cycle, I dont even make it to BT ... :-( ....... I am making an appt with a new FS, and the only one good thing out of this is I have hit the safety net, so I will save our pennies, and get back into another cycle in March ... grrrrrrrrrrr
Wouldloveabubba - I'm so sorry! I can't believe it. Sending you heaps of cyberhugs, that is so unfair. A new FS plus hitting the threshold are positives though, so I"m sure you will move forwards in every sense next month.
WLB - Oh no! I'm sorry about ur BFN. I don't know why but I was sure you would be a positive. Probably because of the positive ora you exude. Keep it up and you will get a BFP very soon. I know it!
Oh, and I agree about the FS need to learn to have a friendly bedside manner. We spend thousands of dollars every year with these clinics and many of us are on the edge. The least they can do is show us a bit of empathy, kindness and give us the time of day to ask questions. Sure, some of the questions we might repeat 10 times (guilty!) but if that's what makes us more confident and gives us a more positive attitude to what is only to be descibed as one of the most difficult experiences in ones life, then they should allow it and encourage it. Otherwise, go get a job in a lab where there's no personable interaction!!!
There, I've said my piece. As like you WLB, it is something I believe strongly in. Rest up for the next month and we'll see you im March gorgeous ox
Thanks wouldluvabubba! Very helpful info. I'm SO sorry that AF has arrived. What a shame. Big hugs.
About the nurses, complaining has crossed my mind but I suspect like I would just sound like a hormonal stressed woman (which is what I am!). It's nothing really concrete but it's just lots of little things that add up and make me not want to talk to them! They're very proffessional but they just have no empathy or friendliness and I get the feeling they couldn't give a toss whether it works or not for me. I wonder if they just get blase about the whole thing as they're dealing with it every day- but still a smile wouldn't go astray! I'd be interested to hear if others have similar or different experiences.
hi lyra stardust,
my clinic sends out a patient survey form at the end of the cycle for feedback. Ask if your clinic has one, that would be the place to do it.
but i know what you mean, it's an awkward situation. My clinic are very good and professional and the rest, but sometimes a little blase. they forgot to ring me for my FET appointment time.. i ended up calling on saturday monring because i needed ot know for work on monday... i explained that and they were very apologetic but still annoyed me.
good luck girls
WLBA - hugs for you darl. i feel like i'm in a production line - jab, jab, jab, bloat, suck out eggs, jab, jab, wait, wait, wait, bleed, bleed and back to the start again. but they reckon its all worth it!
Wouldloveabubba - So sorry about AF sweety. Try and stay positive and look toward the next cycle hun.
I also have a question, can anyone tell me if there are any symptoms ithin the TWW???
When I lay down and bring my legs up my lower abdo feels different like its a bit tight which it didn't feel like before. Don't want to get too excited if its no sign of anything.
I had my last pregnyl inj on Wednesday and just on the crinone cream now. Decided today to do a HPT this morning and got a negative. Is 5 days after transfer too soon for a negative or just too early for a positive.
I am having blood test Friday and I know they say to wait ... But thats easy for them to say.
Hello all you lovely ladies I have been MIA for a week or so been super busy with work
Neptune= Hope the Pregnyl isn't sending you too Crazy
WLAB= I am so sorry the turned up that is not fair hope you are holding up ok with the heat down you way
Aleenta= Hope all is well
Saph 204= So sorry to hear your BFN
Loops12= Hope AF stays away for you and that you are handling the Pregnyl side effects ok
Spring= Your BT is due same day AF is due for me Hope your not going too crazy with the wait
Rob= Welcome and good luck
Babysteps= Welcome we are neally at the same stage my AF is due 4th Feb hope she stays away and good luck with your BT
Lyra Stardust= Welcome to the mad house, I am afraid to say the sore ovaries is a side effect of the pregnyl that I also suffer
To anyone that I missed I am sorry and good luck
AFM= I have stopped having any sort of symptoms at all now I think that AF is on her way as my face has broken out as it does right before she arrives I guess I have come to the point where I am prepared for either outcome I know there is no way of changing it so there is no point in fighting it. I noticed that alot of you ladies can't help yourselfs from POAS before your BT I am the opposite I usually can't bring myself to do it as I don't want to be dissapointed any earlier then I have to be but I am thinking of doing it this time maybe either Monday or Tuesday but I don't know if I should. I am also wondering if I should ask my FS about maybe moving onto IUI's soon as OI and timed Intercourse doesn't seem to be working but these are all things I will have to work out after Wed keeping my fingers crossed AF stays away.

Still, I think we are supposed to go mad during this time.
Good Luck girls.
Sending you heaps of cyberhugs, that is so unfair. A new FS plus hitting the threshold are positives though, so I"m sure you will move forwards in every sense next month.
to everyone else. xox
