Merideth: Try and stay positive - our embryologist is always telling us that the embys fair better in their natural environment.
Bec - I'm sorry to hear about your BFN. Maybe it's too early to tell on a HPT? My fingers are still crossed for you! Thanks so much for the link to the beta chart - looks like a good reference to have.
JBM: I love how positive you are - hope that this FET is the one for you.
Mels: Good luck with your FET!
Mollygirl - Stay positive - I know so many people who have AF like cramps and go on to have healthy pregnancies.
I am not feeling too confident today - symptoms have almost all gone and I took a HPT this morning, and while there was still a second line, it was lighter than yesterday (I really should stop torturing myself with these tests!). I want to go to the gym to try and take my mind of things but the nurses are always saying not to exercise too much during the tww. Anyone heard otherwise? I think for my own sanity I'm going to try and put this cycle behind me now, and look forward to a new start in the new year. At least we got to do a FET - things are certainly moving in the right direction!
:stickyvibesgirl: to everyone!!

Hello all sorry no personals today as I am not feeling up to it, so all day yesterday I was still getting what I thought was CM however it had become dark brown and at times I found I was spotting but only whenever I wiped so I thought that maybe AF was gonna show up. Well turns out I was right as she reared her ugly head this morning :cry:
Now I guess it is back to jabbing for me DP was just as dissapointed as I am but all we can do is stay strong and hope we are back in here is two weeks hope to see most of you gone with BFP's by then. Good luck to all.
Congrates to FG hope this is the sticky one for you.
-
Im sorry AF arrived wishingbaby :( That sucks, hope youa re okay xxx
Mon - Do whatever you need to to keep your sanity, but I dont think it matters if the line is lighter or not - it still means that the hcg is in your system and it could just be something to do with the test itself. Sending you my love xxx
-
FG - I am :happyforyou: well done hun!
Wishingbaby - sorry the evil wench turned up hun!
Meredith -hope you are feeling better today!
Mollygirl - well done for keeping away from evil pee sticks - trust me they are trouble!
Mon - wishing you luck!
JBM - all systems go and things are looking good!
AFM - pretty sure it hasn't worked this time! I have that horrible feeling! I just don't think this is it! Just want to :cry: feel like it will never happen for us...
I hate my body for giving me false hope. I feel the same as last time I was PG but I just know this one hasn't worked! I am so so over AC! Kelly - I understand how you are feeling 100%.
Take Care..
Rach xx
-
FG - I'm so thrilled for you. How exciting and wonderful - especially at this time of year.:clap::dance:
Mollygirl - You sounded like me yesterday! I went to work and was in just a foul mood. I came home only to pick silly fights with DH. I'm feeling slightly more normal today - but I just feel like I'm living on edge.:angry:
Rach - I've been having the same thoughts today. I just want to stay in bed until Tuesday's BT. I'm so sick of the waiting and watching! I feel completely normal today - nothing. Who knows! I guess we just have to try to remain sane and wait this out. Who knows - we might get lucky. I even thought I would put myself out of my misery and buy a hpt to use tomorrow morning. The two stores I went to were closed (even though they are supposed to be open until 9pm!) so I figured that was a sign not to do it. Good/Bad - again, who knows!
WLBubba - You are allowed to rant and vent to us! No one else could possibly understand except for us - so feel free to vent anytime you want.
Meredith - Good Luck - I'm sending lots of :stickyvibesboy: your way.
JBM - Good Luck with your FET - You only need 1 to work and I'm hoping this little embie is your lucky one!:goodluck:
Hayley - I feel so frustrated and disappointed for you. Try to relax and enjoy christmas and then you can start again positively in the new year.
Nixon - Thanks for sharing your information. It's really lovely to hear other people's success stories.
Smithy - Thanks for the positivity!
Mon - Welcome to our little group. I would have thought 8 would be a good number only a week in - so hopefully that number keeps rising for you!
BecD - So many factors come into those stupid hpt's - so try to keep away from them and fingers crossed, you get a different answer next week.
WishingBaby - I'm so sorry AF has arrived for you. Bloody *****.:comfort:
For everyone else - :grouphug:
-
Hello all,
Rach - pls dont give up hope yet, this cycle still may be the one...just remember that the drugs like playing tricks on our body so dont give up hope yet, maybe this is just being a double agent!
wishingbaby - :hug: so sorry that AF arrived, bad witch! Hope you can have a doona day - you deserve it, and could be the start of recharging for 2009.
Mon - a second line is a second line, and still a BFP...dont give up hope as it is not over till the next BT! Maybe this is just a embie that started snuggling late. Wishing you all the best for Monday.
MG - I admire your willpower...good luck with the resolve, and hold on to that positive thinking - who knows what is happening inside, maybe it is just a little one snuggling in nice and deep.
Mels - good luck with your transfer on Tuesday, and hope that it is the start of a great TWW that ends with a BFP!
JBM - good luck with your BT negotiations - a test on the 24th would be a great birthday and xmas present in one. hope all goes well with the transfer.
BecD - :hug: you will find the strenght to keep going and bring a beautiful baby into the world, and it still may come from this transfer! Dont hang all your hopes on one test...there is still the big one to come.
Meredith - dont give yourself a hard time for feeling dissapointed or upset at not having frosties - we all pin our hopes on having some in the freezer and the loss of those embies we are trying to put in there is hard and we cant pretend that its not. I really hope that you dont need any more - that this day 4 tranfer does it for you. :goodluck:
AFM - I tested again this afternoon, but with a cheap brand that is not meant to be used till the first day of your missed period (AF due tomorrow if I was not on progesterone) I only got a faint line, but at least there is a second line. However feeling nothing except tired today - no sore BB, no twinges and no indigestion, so who knows what tricks my body is playing on my heart...I guess I just have to wait till Tuesday and the BT. I just hope we dont end up losing one early...
To everyone - including anyone that I've missed in the personals :bluedust: :stickyvibesgirl:
FG

Hey all,
I feel like running across the screen, saying "I'm back!!!" I've missed you all. No time to chat now - have just been catching up on all your amazing trials and triumphs in the TWW.
My computer died (as I was writing a post on this thread) back in October and I've only just got it back from the shop! Sorry to have missed all your well wishes but I look forward to catching up soon.

Just a quick update on my TWW. Well after my AF like pains I was experiencing on Thursday & Friday, things have been very quiet for the last 1-2 days. Not really feeling anything at the moment and I am taking that as a good sign. I had some very minor (and i mean very very minor) twinges on my left side yesteday, so hopefully that means something good is going on in there.
I tell you what would be great though - some unmistakable, unquestionable, good old fashion pregnancy symptoms.............. here's hoping!!!
-
Morning Ladies
A hello from me, and I am reading and hoping whilst we are all going quietly insane - we are rewarded with peace of mind or BFP's
Come on Santa bring us some early christmas gifts - you know we have all been good
xx
-
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. :pray:
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.
sending baby vibes to all....
-
Firstly, FG I am still smiling for you!
Mollygirl - hang in ther babe :pray: for you!
Grub17 - :hug:
Mon - all the best for tomorrow!
JBM - 10th of December has a lucky ring to it!
Meredith - hoping this is it and you won't need any frosties!
Wishing baby - sorry this wasn't it :hug:
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!
Hugs and stickvibes to everyone!
Rach xx

Good morning all,
Rach - :dance: 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!:happyforyou:
Mon - wishing you all the best for your blood test today :goodluck: and :crossfingers:
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 :2ww:
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 :pray: 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!)
One a positive note, good luck everyone!
FG

FG and Rach81 - :crossfingers: for both of you x
Hi to everyone else - hope your all going well
AFM: AF is due today - I have to make it to Fri and get a + result - :pray:
-
Tuesday hurry up, Aunty CP can't wait that long...I want to know NOW that FG and Rach are pregnant!
:redface: Sorry for crushing the thread, Aunty CP is getting a bit crazy here, hehe...
-
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.

Hi,
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.
Tarnya
-
Thanks dusty adn CP for your cheers and encouragement ! :cheer:
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 - :pray: hard for you hun! Hope the wentch stays away!
Mon - goodluck with your BT today - :stickyvibesgirl:
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!!! :pray: all will be fine - I just want to blink and be 12 weeks already! Hopefully, Inky and/or Minky stuck!!!
Rach xx

hi everyone...havent been online for a few days...to all those in the TWW..good luck!
farmgirl- congratulations!!!! great news
sorry to those who haven't had success this month....it's really tough to deal with...but let's pray 2009 is the year!
-
p.s kelly - so sorry also to read all you've been through...sending you my best...take time to recover
-
Rach - good luck with the BT results...they will confirm what we all know...you are pg :leap:
TLO - :hug: dont give up hope yet :hug:
-
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 :bfp: 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
-
Hi Mollygirl
Sorry to hear about the bad AF pain.
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.
-
Hi guys,
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.
Tarnya
-
TLO - :hug: 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
-
Hi everyone,
Rach and FG - Good luck for your blood tests! It all sounds very promising for you.
Wouldloveabubba - AF not arriving sounds like a good sign so far! All the best for Friday.
TLO - I'm so sorry to hear about your negative HPT. I hope that 2009 is the year for you!
Mollygirl - I hope the cramping goes away soon. I know it can be scary but try and stay positive.
Merideth - Good luck for your test next week, and hope AF stays well away this weekend!
As for me, today's test results showed a drop in my HCG and so it's officially all over. I am glad to be off the medication, but am of course so sad about the results. I was really hoping that we'd be able to give ourselves and our friends and family the best Christmas present this year, but once again it wasn't to be.
Thank you all so much for your advice and support in this forum - it has really meant a lot. I hope to see lots of BFP's when I'm back in the new year!

Hi Everyone
Just have to vent... I am starting to go a little crazy being at the end of my TWW! Have final blood test on Wednesday. I had a big cry on the weekend and just had another big cry.. I keep thinking what if it hasn't worked again? Geez this is hard!! I dont really feel any different... been having some indigestion the last few days and some mild cramping. I couldn't help myself and did a POAS today and that came up with 2 lines (positive) but I keep thinking it may just be giving a false positive as I had my last pregnyl injection on Saturday so it's prob still in my system... Now I wish I never did the test!!!
I am going to try and think positive and I guess with no AF yet that's a good sign- Like Dusty said in one of her posts - I am still in with a chance!!
Thanks for listening everyone!!

Just a quick message to let you all know that AF showed up this morning so its offically all over for me this month. Back to the drawing board i suppose. The strange thing this month is that my period isn't even due yet and i have never bled before my BT before????
The eighth time hurts just as much as the first - how patient do i need to be!!!!!!!!!
-
Hi Ladies
Well had my final BT yesterday and levels now are less than 5, so the miscarriage is now complete :crying:. FS appt tomorrow to let me know when we can try again after the surgery. Hopefully if I push I can get some more bloods done for further testing as to "why" all the problems are occuring and then if the witch plays nicely next AF will arrive early Jan and I can go into another cycle.
TLO & Mollygirl: Hopefully we will all be able to get some more answers to our "sticky" issues and hopefully by next Xmas our little angels will be in our arms and not just our hearts.
FG: Looking out for your BT results today :pray: you have fantaastic numbers to support your POAS positive.
Joy: :pray: that your 2 lines is not the drugs but your little one.
Mon: So sorry about the drop, enjoy your med free month and hopefully after Xmas we will be back here together for our Jan bubs.
Meredith: Hang in there, hopefully it a good sign for you with the symptoms and hoping AF stays away.
Possums: Thanks for your kind wishes.
Rach: Any news yet??
Wouldloveabub: Hoping AF has stayed away for you.
If I missed anyone, hi and I'm still :pray: for your Xmas miracles.
