    Theresep- I am so sorry for your news, there is still a slight chance but by the same token you do need to prepare yourself. I understand completely about being with your husband without kids. DH and I have had many conversations and we know we would have to change our lives quite a bit to cope with it. We have been with each other 14 years and before marrying we also had a bit of a break. We have built our life expecting kids and the thought that we wont have them is very depressing. I have already looked into adoption, but they wont let you move forward in the process until you have stopped fertility treatments for 6 months.
    Your DH obviously made the decision that he loved you enough to be with you without kids.
    Something my FS said to me was it is a numbers game, you need to look at it as a long term project. Someone who had 9 misscarriages carried her tenth all the way through. I know someone at work who was on treatments for eight years before falling pregnant, she now has three kids. Goodness knows where they found the strength to back time after time, I don't know if I could do it.

    Mitf- I have had a similar feeling down below, even after I stopped bleeding. I have no idea why.

    Terry- Hopefully your embie is digging in and making a nice little nest for itself.

    AFM- Still cramping, still slight nausea, still headachy. One more sleep to go.........
    I am just hoping that it is not AF trying to fight through the crinone.

    SonjaLousie - glad to here the bleeding has managed to stay at bay.

    Has anyone been feeling really thirsty lately? I have and can seem to quench my thirst, not sure if I am dehydrated or it's just because it warmer.... I had wondered if all the extra progesterone in my system might be doing it???

    Dear girls, thanks so much for all the kind words and understanding how i'm feeling today.

    Sonialouise, you hit the nail right on the head when talking about you + your DH - i thought it was only me that had that situation - its incredible when you confide with others, how often they also have experienced something similar. I have told my DH that i didn't marry him just to have children, that there are a million reasons why i chose to be with him, and you just never will know of the challenges that life throws at you - you just have to cross each bridge when you get to it, and hope that you're strong enough to support each other.
    Mitf - thats interesting to hear that more positives are achieved with a FET - seems to be the case with my own experiences hey? Thanks for your well wishes, xx

    Thanks for your cyber hug Airline xx

    Well, i still have 4 little darlings on ice, which is some consolation. We are ready for a small break from ttc now - got to get our regular sex life back on track ! Sorry, no one probably needs to know that! But seriously, ttc has consumed us for most of this year, so it won't be until well into next year that we consider a FET. As i'm in regional NSW, the next Syd IVF clinic won't be until next March, and we are going to New Zealand then for a wedding - but i'm actually looking forward to the break, and you never know when a natural surprise may catch you when you're least expecting.

    I will be checking in to see how you are all going, and crossing everything that we have some BFP's to celebrate!

    Hi ladies,

    Just a little me post cause I think I need to vent. I gave in and took a test this morning and it was negative. Which I half expected. The thing is all day I have been nauseas and cramping, so I took another one when I got home (I know I know it is not the first morning pee) negative again. I have got progressively worse now I have stabbing pains around the front and just vomited!

    Everything in my body is telling me I am pregnant, but I just keep getting BFN. I know blood test is tomorrow but I am going insane, the burping is driving me nuts.

    I wonder if it is all in my head, or what they call a phantom pregnancy. Surely I should have got a positive pee test. Or is it all because of the crinone???


    Theresp- I just wanted to say that DH are going to do the same thing. If it is negative we are going to have a break until next year. By the way did you get a chance to speak to him yet?

    Sonialouise you poor thing, you must be just wishing for tomorrow to arrive so you can have the bt and know one way or the other - and its harder when you're still taking the crinone, as it could be influencing all the symptoms. I hope you can get a reasonable nights rest.
    Yes, i spoke to DH this morning, and he is pretty bummed, but obviously could hear in my voice how upset i was, and just wished he could be home with me - he is a good man .
    I'm really looking forward to our break from ttc, i feel it will do us the world of good. Will be thinking of you tomorrow hun, best of luck xx

    Hi girls,

    I am just about to leave to have the blood test. I have done another POAS and negative again, so I am preparing myself for bad news. DH and I were just discussing what we would do and we keep changing our mind. Money wise it would make sense to try for another transfer, body and head wise I think I need a break. I don't really know what to do.

    I was going to wait until after work before finding out the news, but unfortunately they have to rush the results just in case they need to courier out more progestrone support, which I will need to pick up by three thirty. So not only will I be at work when I hear the news, but some of the people I work with will know as well because I had to warn people that they may need to cover for me if I have to duck out. Can't do anything in secret when you are a primary teacher!

    Alright now I am just putting off leaving, I best be off. I hope evryone has a good weekend. Will let you know the reults tonight.

    Good Morning Ladies,

    Hope you are all well and enjoying your Sunday .

    Hello to all the familiar ladies from the LTTTC thread and to all of the ladies that I haven't met yet .

    Thought I would post in the 2WW thread as I had 2 x 5 day blasts transferred yesterday - yay ! Was kinda a shock that we transferred 2 as I only found out when signing all the documentation before the transfer... the scientist was going through the list confirming that we were transferring my eggs and DH's sperm and then... '2 x eggs' ... I was like what the :!!!! Lucky DH was with me and we quickly decided that we could probably handle twins and if transferring 2 will give us slightly better odds, than why not!

    Anyways... just a quick one to introduce myself and sorry for no personals today... I will try and catch up with where everyone is at and then attempt some .

    Wishing all in the 2WW lots and lots and lots of !!!!
