just wanted to send love and prayers for all... i hope this week brings some wonderful news to our tww folder!! we really need to get the BFP ratio UP, UP, UP.
Farmgirl- congrats on the POAS bfp. but i can see you still haven't completely sold yourself on it yet - which is the wise thing to do. I hope, hope, pray, pray you BT is good and it stays put. keep up your cautious optimism.
hang in there mollygirl, you know what they say "no news is good news''
hi murphy!
good luck JBM for dec 10!
hugs wishingbaby. hope you are feeling better soon.
mon and rach - i know its so hard at the end but hang in there and try to distract yourself. mon, so long as you don't overheat or get breathless, it's fne to go to the gym. It'll probably be good for you. Don't introduce any new routines or such, but if you do a scaled-back version of your usual workout it should be okay. that's what my clinic told me (i enjoy running). I went for a walk the day after transfer to get the blood flowing. but some other people swear by bed rest - do what YOU feel is right for you.
Meredith - hoping this is it and you won't need any frosties!
Wishing baby - sorry this wasn't it
TLO - thanks for understanding!
AFM - from my blog
Well, after my lil breakdown yesterday, late last night I looked at the HPT again. Very very faint positive. So as the Queen of POAS I did another this morning it is still faint but darker than yesterday. I am a lil more hopeful now. However, I still am not getting too excited. My period is due Wednesday and I am using a brand that you are meant to use once your period is due. Maybe that is why the line is quite faint, cause it is not so sensitive?? - but it is still there!
This is really really unexpected and I am not celebrating yet. But I think if I get a darker one on Tuesday I'll go to my GP for a BT. I don't care if the clinic knows or not. It is for me and DH!
That about says it all girls - basically still waiting but not giving up hope yet!
Good morning all,
Rach - that sounds really good esp with a brand that is not meant to work till AF is due...you must have good hcg levels...it really does seem like you are pg and going to have your xmas present come early...wishing you all the best for your BT - tues or wed!
Mon - wishing you all the best for your blood test today and
MG - keep up those positive thoughts - they can only help those little ones snuggle!
hello to everyone that I've missed - which is most of you lovely girls...sorry but I had better at least try and do some work this morning...but I am wishing everyone well and
AFM - POAS this morning (Rach, I'm challenging you for the title of POAS Queen), it came up with two lines, but faint. It is meant to be used once AF is due, which was yesterday, so I'm fearing low levels and another early M/C. I just that I am wrong and we just have a late starter, and with low levels I'm guessing only one might have made it, if at all. No symptoms so who knows. BT tomorrow so that will give us the info that I'm so desperatly seeking. (Maybe I'll take the title of Queen of pessamistic thoughts!)
FG and Rach hold out hope ladies. I got 3 BFNs the days leading up to my BT which was HCG 96. Urine is a really poor indicator of the strength (or even existance) of a pg. It is all sounding good to me.
One sleep to go.
Good luck everyone.

I'm due for my BT tomorrow so I POAS this morning and it came up with a BFN. I rang my clinic and they indicated that the HPT are pretty accurate but still want me to come in and do a BT so they can confirm it's negative.
9 years is a long time and I'm tired. Maybe it's time to look at adoption. Not sure.
Anyway - Good Luck ladies - I wish you lots and lots of positive results.
Thanks dusty adn CP for your cheers and encouragement !
TLO - oh I hope HPT is wrong! Dusty had some negative ones before her awesome BFP this month! I hope its the same for you. I totally understand feeling dispondant about the whole thing - basically IT SUCKS!!!!
FG - don't worry about HPT - I still think this one is a goer - sometimes they are affected by how much you drink etc BT is tomorrow!!!
Wouldloveabubba - hard for you hun! Hope the wentch stays away!
Mon - goodluck with your BT today -
AFM - I had some pink cm type stuff last night - was feeling very panicked! However, being the queen of POAS - I did another today and it is definately darker! I went to my GP for a BT this morning - cause it is all doing my head in a little bit! She was lovely anyway - should get results this afternoon! I still think AF is due wednesday - so today I am 13DPO!!! all will be fine - I just want to blink and be 12 weeks already! Hopefully, Inky and/or Minky stuck!!!
Rach and FG - i have my fingers crossed for you but am sure you don't need it - You guys will be fine
To everyone else in the TWW - hope there are plenty of this month
AFM - well BT is not due till Friday but woke up in the early hours of this morning to horrendous (and i mean horrendous!!!!!) period pain. I haven't started bleeding but then again I never do until i stop the progesterone. I know that there are people who swear black and blue that they thought their period was coming and found out that they were pg but I suffer very badly from AF pain and even my FS has said that whilst cramping can be normal in a pregnancy, excessive pain is not normal. So i guess i will just move on and start planning for FET #6
I also suffer from really severe AF pain and this time was thought to be an ectopic as the pain on my left side was so severe. After having the lap last week to find all was fine and that we were in fact pg, I continued to have cramping and spotting and unfortunately miscarried last Wednesday.
My doctor seems to think that my uterus does not respond to the pg hormone and that it goes into severe spasm, therefore not allowing the embryo to implant or if it does implant to then miscarry. Of the 3 transfers I have had we have lost 2 and had a negative for 1.
After so many transfers and BFN's, have you asked you FS if there is a reason for the embryo not to implant.
I see my FS again on Wednesday and am going to ask for more tests to see if I have some possible reason why our embryo's don't stick or get rejected.
After so many try's I am amazed that you are able to keep going without asking more questions. Farm Girl was having trouble and got more tests and was diagnosed with a problem that didn't allow her embryo's to implant.
Just a suggestion, but seeing as we go through so much in this process if there is anything I can do to help I would rather know sooner rather than later.
I went and had my BP today and had a reading of 10 - so basically waiting for my AF to arrive now. I've had my cry now, so I've made an appointment to see my FS in early Jan to try and get to the bottom of my infertility issues. Who knows? - there could be a simple solution as to why they aren't sticking???
I'll do personals later - but just wanted to say thank you for being there.
TLO - I'm so sorry that this is the outcome. Thinking of you and hope that you are able to get some new direction and hope from your FS. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to grieve.
Thanks Kelly - I will be making an appointment to see my FS in the New Year and trust me, I have a zillion questions to ask. My previous FS just kept telling me that there was no reason why i wasn't falling pg and that if i kept trying eventually one would stick. After 7 attempts with him and getting no where with no answers that is why i left and tried a new clinic. This has been my first transfer with my new FS and I am confident that he will be more proactive.
Rach - do we have news yet? Hope you are out celebrating your conformed BFP
FG - HPTs can be evil you know. I hope tomorrow's BT brings you a nice "normal" HCG
TLO - so sorry for your BFN. I also think you need to grill your FS for more, more, more testing. I am on a concoction of meds this cycle to help implantation and hopefully prevent m/c. My FS is very open to "new" or "unproven" treatment but it did take my own research and requests to try this stuff.
It would be nice to think our Drs will just do the best for us but they have so many patients, i really do think we all need to be proactive about the care we are getting
Molly girl - my heart goes out to your too. I pray that maybe there is still hope for a BFP.
If not, then like I said to TLO,,, push, push , push for more answers. Take a peek at the immunological testing threads - lots of great info there for people with implantation issues
AFM -this whole TWW is driving me truly nuts. Insomnia is killing me. Not sure how much is drug and how much stress related but I am like the walking dead.Realistically, I am either pg or not by now so just want to move on either way.... sigh.... I am normally very patient but not with this stuff!
Can't say I have a strong feeling for yay or nay yet. Got all sorts of symptoms but with all the drugs, who knows?! Pessaries don't usually stop AF so will certainly know by Saturday when she's due. BT still a week away
that sounds really good esp with a brand that is not meant to work till AF is due...you must have good hcg levels...it really does seem like you are pg and going to have your xmas present come early...wishing you all the best for your BT - tues or wed!
and 
Sorry for crushing the thread, Aunty CP is getting a bit crazy here, hehe...
