[Janie71]

Hi everyone,

Possums for you today my dear

MM - hope your prog levels are doing well.

Mereidith - LS, you and me all on the one day! I think that is a good sign!

Welcome to the TWW Venus... I hope it is your last

TL - hope you and your 2 embies are doing well - don't work too hard this weekend.

Saph - I'm sorry to hear about your BFN. Have a good relaxing break from it all.

Bubbles - hope you are feeling okay and that it is starting to sink in that you are PREGNANT!

AFM - I'm much the same as I have been right from the transfer. No significant cramps, the odd twinge now and then, but nothing major. However, my BB's are starting to get sore today. that's a good sign!

to us all!

Janie - yes it sure does sound like a good sign! for all of us!

Megsmum - I have to say I didnt feel anything while PG with DD until about 8 weeks into it. Only thing making me thing that its not going to happen is the fact that I have no CM and that is pretty typical for me when I am about to get AF. I seriously cant remember how it was last time, I didnt pay too much attention to signs back then b/c she was conceieved pretty quickly (by some miracle). I guess I'll just have to wait and be patient. Hard to do when you are close to the end though!
Good luck with your levels today and try not to worry about complications, I'm sure it will all be fine. :goodluck2:

Possums - Once again good luck today and I hope that you will give us some good news today!

Venus - and wishing you lots of luck in your 2WW!

Everyone else have a good weekend, and if anyone gets any BFP's keep us informed, I would LOVE to hear some happy endings!

hi ladies...no good news today, just a BFN for me, as I expected. It didn't make it easier to hear though and feel totally deflated and flat and angry and upset and all the emotions I know you can all relate to.
We've been told to have a month off, before doing a FET with our one little frostie.
We have decided to take a holiday. It's been a long, hard intense year so far for us, and we need a break.
So looks like we'll do a FET in August, or maybe even wait until September.
Sorry no personals ladies, just not up for it right now.
But I wish you all the very best. xx

Possums I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself and same for your DH. I don't want to suppose that I know how you are feeling, but I know how I felt when my first cycle did not work. It is devastating.

A holiday sounds like a great idea. Look after each other and let me know if you need to talk.

Thanks Janie. xx
I guess we'll bounce back and keep going until we have a baby in our arms. It's times like this though I wonder why it has to be so hard for us? (and everyone else in here) and so easy for some. Just life.
I am an only child and my parents are very upset too...they really want a grandchild to hold.
Am already looking at holiday ideas. Trying to build in something positive for us to focus on right now, to help us move forward.
The uncertainty of how long it will all take is so hard isn't it

Hi Everyone

It's been a while since I last posted. Was previously in the Clomid group but was unsuccessful. I am now in the TWW after our first IVF cycle and at the moment feeling really positive.

I have 30 eggs on collection day (11/7) and of the 30 had 18 fertilise to day 3. I must admit I was completely shocked at the massive number as at my scan 8 days prior showed only 8 mature follicles.

Had 1 ET on Monday (14/7) and 9 embryos frozen at day 3 (so 10 in total). The remaining 8 didn't seem as good as the first 10 so they were grown to blastocyst and of the 8, 5 continued on. So in total I have the 1 hopefully making itself comfy and 14 left for FET if needed. Not bad from 35 yr old eggs.

My partner and I feel really hopeful of being successful due to the number of good embryos we acheived and how many we have left for future attempts. It definately reduces my stress level knowing that I hopefully won't have to go through the whole IVF process again, which for me was quite uncomfortable as at the day of pick up I was so bad that I couldn't even sit down without being in discomfort.

So fingers crossed that Monday week (28/7) we get a BFP. I am hoping that my experience provides a positive outlook for some of you who are really struggling, as from something which looked small to start with (8 follicles) acheived something fantastic.

Good luck to you all with your journeys and hopefully will see lots of BFP's in the near future.
