Lani - BIG CONGRATULATIONS, So That's awesome news
Possums - I hope your wrong about your feelings and I hope that AF doesnt show.
Pollyanna - So sorry about your BFN. GL with the up-coming FET
Buggirl - GL on Friday with your BT. Hope you get that BFP. Ive had similar symptoms to you except for the bit of blood although I've had a fair bit of *cough* mucus. Don't know if any of it means anything though.
Kittycat - GL. I hope its our month too.
Sorry if I have missed people. and all the best
AFM - 7DPO, not really sure if have symptoms or if it is all still from the Pregnyl. I have to take one more injection tomorrow and then i suppose I am getting closer to D day. I did do POAS yesterday but that was just because I wanted to see two lines for a change because I havent before. Even though I knew it would probably show up only because of the Pregnyl. Silly I know. I just have to hope that the second line stays as I get closer to BT date of the 16th. Although I am going to hold off on doing POAS until at least the 14th now.
Kittycat, I do think your concern has some ground, prog peaks at Day21 and 23 is not high at all. I remember when I first start seeing Acupuncturist and she asked me to test D21 prog, mine was 30 and she said its on the lower side. Also early AF is a sign of lack of prog support for luteral phase. Definitely check with your FS and don't give up. Best of luck!
i do believe that i have a problem with my progesterone. i have also heard my FS talk about the luteal phase and length, yet he still won't give me anymore drugs.
when i asked the nurse who was organising the IUI he told her that too much progestone can also be a contraceptive........what the????
i think if i do get my AF early, as i feel like i am...i am going to loose my cool a bit and go a bit POSTAL!!!! at the FS office. i think the problem is because i have had a DD naturally that he dosen't see i have that much of a problem. well i am coming up to 3 years of TTC. that's definatly a problem too me.
Well girls I am definitely out, AF arrived today. I knew I wasn't pregnant as I only had a few of the symptoms that I had with my last FET (that turned out to be chemical pregnancy) No sore bbs or anything like that just a whole lot of cramping (different to AF). I had the same old cramping and back pain I get with AF over the last day and now I don't see any point in going for a bt as I know what the answer is thats why I never bothered to POAS either. I have been obsessing over lack of symptoms for days now and although its been distracting I just feel ****ed off about the whole thing (so understand about the going POSTAL bit Kittykat!). This is my 2nd FET and 3rd transfer ? if there is nothing wrong with me and the embryos were grade 1 why didn't they take? Sorry to be so "why me?" but I know you gals will understand, and I certainly understand that most of you have been through a lot more than me.
I am worried about doing another stim cycle because of my MS, the neurologist I see wasn't keen for me to do another stim cycle because he thinks it will make my MS symptoms worse. But what other choice do I have? If I do what are the odds of putting in 2 embryos vs just 1?
Do you think I should pursue tests regarding failing to implant? I have a family history of autoimmune (my Mum had Rheumatoid arthritis and I have an Aunt with Lupus) and I have been reading that this can sometimes cause issues.
So SORRY Buggirl that this month wasnt your turn - its so frustrating isnt it. But hang in there and you will get there soon. Sounds like you need some answers and getting some tests done sounds like a good idea if you can.
Thinking of you and all the best for down the track.
Buggirl and Pollyanna - I'm sorry about the BFN's. I was also BFN this month. I've cheered up a bit already and I've started an antagonist cycle (back to back stim cycles)
Buggirl - I agree with you - the whole immune system issue is an area I don't think they really understand but it seems to be important. I have a lot of immune related disease in my family too (pernicious anaemia, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes ... the list goes on). You can't help wondering if its connected. I get good egg numbers, good fertilisation rates, good grade embryos/blastocysts and then nothing.
Laniwantsababy - That is such great news. It helps give me inspiration to keep trying.
Also - a big thanks to everyone. You really helped me get through the disappointment last week and it is really nice being able to talk to people who actually understand.
buggirl, i totally feel the same as you. i don't know what to do next. i find it hard to accept that there is nothing that can be done. my FS never asks me to do any further testing, and i have good embryos/ no frag and then nothing.
my FS seems to feel it will happen, but he dosen't feel my impatience. (just turned 36!)
he knows i have had a daugther naturally, and so he just dosen't seem to give me all the necessary drugs that everyone else uses each month.
i have problems ovulating, and i do believe i need to follow on with prog support.
how do you tell the doc's and nurses how to do there job? they should be the one's advising and giving us all the options.
as i am in cairns i have no other options in the way of FS.
i do need to be stronger with him and tell him what i want to try....
asm now. i have had AF symptoms since monday (CD20). my AF is never later then 26, usually starting around 23-24. i have had a DD and never experienced what they call implantaion pains. so i am just waiting for AF to come so i can get on with another new cycle.
Bridget - so sorry to hear AF arrived Hope you can move forward soon
Kitty- Same with you, I really hope AF arrives for you soon so you can move onto the next stage. Its funny how we all know our bodies so well. Geez you have short cycles mine are more like 35.
