WLAB, I'm sorry to hear that AF arrived this morning. I know how you feel, the same thing happened to me as well today. That ends my cycle, and I'm also leaving BB for a while. I'm going on an overseas holiday for a month shortly so we won't be back TTC until April or May. Then I think my doctor wanted to start me on IVF after the 2 failed IUI cycles, I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet but I have a few months to think about it.
I have to call my clinic tomorrow morning to tell them about AF, I don't know if they'll still want me to go in on Tuesday for a bloodtest or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone who's still going, I'm sending you lots of babydust.
HI ladies - guess I am ready to join the looney bin of TWW. Had 2 x day 5 blasts transferred this morning. Not feeling very confident at all about this one as I have had real issues with my lining this cycle but had to give it a try. My BT would be due around 10th Feb I think. Will get a time tomorrow
WLAB - so sorry AF has reared her ugly head. Hoping your new FS can bring renwed hope
Lyra - I do think it would be easy for a lot of IVF staff to get emotionally "detached". Bottom line is that it IS just a job for them. Not that I think this is exusable. They can make a HUGE difference to the emotional toll of ART and really, being empathetic should be part of the job description. Just hope you don't have to many more dealings with them
Wishingbaby - I can't resist the POAS. I need to know if i should expect AF or not. Certainly wouldn't go into a bT without knowing the result. Would just be to hard to hear that over the phone.
Well done though on holding out!
Babysteps - so sorry for BFN for you to. Hope your time away brings a much wanted suprise... holiday baby?
Well so far so good, no sign of AF yet rearing her head but I don't think I know my body anymore...
Lyra ... I don't really know what to say, I know what you mean, some staff are really detached where I go too but my embryologist was awesome, she was so excited and the doctor that did my Et as well but the other staff were just there if that makes sence. I would be awful in that job cause I would get so attachyed to everyone I meet. I did ambulance work for 6 years and only resigned last year because it was getting harder not to personaise jobs.
Wishing baby ... I know I shouldn't but I just want to know, People really underestimate the TWW. I didn't think it would be this bad but I was soooooo wrong. I just want a Pos HPT or AF, at least then I would know. At least I could prepare for whats ahead either way.
Babysteps ... So sorry for your BFN just keep positive and look towards the future.
Everyone else welcome and lots of and hugs and kisses.
I hope this is the right place to post, fugured the Jan TWW spills into the feb one...
Anyway, I had a day 3, eight cell beautiful embryo transferred today. This is our second ICSI cycle and we got 7 eggs but only one fertilized, hence the day 3 transfer.
WLAB - So sorry hun I really hope you are feeling OK and that your new FS provides answers and hope. Thanks for being a great positive role model in the dreadful 2WW, and I truly hope March is your month.
Neptune - hope you got your essay done and you are cruising along well
Rob - hey we have BT same day - this friday!! Stay away AF stay away....
Baby Steps - sorry this wasn't your month either, I hope you have a wonderful holiday and you will return home to a BFP some day soon
Wishingbaby - stay away AF - maybe maybe she will, I have my fingers crossed for you
KellyD, Meredith - glad you girls made it over - as I keep telling myself it's a numbers game and you have to be in it to win it!
AFM - Had v busy day yesterday and went to the Mens tennis final - awesome!! I am so restless though - feel like a bit of a caged lion, can't stand not knowing....have done poas on weekend but really it's inconclusive - I had 2 early tests which showed feint lines (but then I read ovidrel can stay in system for 10 days so probably just that) so massive waste of time and energy poas. Then tonight on way home went to supermarket - bought 2 hpt but they only had dumb ones which only work of day of missed AF - so they are useless and showed a negative. So really should not have bothered at all. Am just clinging to hope AF hasn't showed up yet!!!
Good luck to everyone, c'mon we have to get some BFP's in here for the new year!!!

DrGirl and wannabemum - welcome and hope we can help you through this horrendous waiting. 2 weeks can be a loooong time but worth it if there is that elusive prize at the end
kellyD - Yippee at 2 on board. Hoping you get your pre-birthday suprise! My BT will be on the 12th is i can make it that far. If AF arrives when due on 10th then will go straight back into FET as yes, we did get one frostie
neptune - 1 week to go... you can do it!!
Grub - yay at joining us with one on board. let this be the month for many of us to exit
wishingbaby - so soory HPT showed BFN. Doesn't mean its defnitely over but I feel your pain darl
jenny - hang in there. Only 2 more days to go and if AF hasn't arrived yet, then things are still looking good
Aleenta - last week craziness. Its enough to send us all to the looney bin!!
AFM - One in the freezer..... yay!!Guess I am still a bit concerned re the stats given I started with 13 embies but at least its a touch better than last cycle. I am beginning to truly think that a) this whole IVF business isn't great for egg quality ( I was having much better success just with OI/IUI!) and b) my clinic must have much stricter guidelines for freezing than some others. I know a few people who get none or barely any frosties with my clinic but get on BB and hear of people with 5 or more blasties frozen. Guess at least if we need to use our frostie, it will probably be a goodie which is the clinic's whole reasoning but i can't help feeling that maybe some "poorer" ones might still make it given the chance.
