I'm so sorry if we stressed you out about posting about embies getting stuck... . Try to not let it worry you (I know that it is easier said than done as it was always at the back of my mind) as my FS did assure me that they have had BFP's in situations where embies have gotten stuck before.
I think that it was just easier for me and DH to be able come up with a reason as to why that cycle didn't work and that's why we feel that that contributed to the BFN. To have a reason just helped me and DH move on after the BFN....
In fact, FS did actually say that at least we know we have a sticky one on our hands! I hope I have eased your mind a little!
Sending you lots and lots of and Good Luck for the 2WW!

Thanks Coral,
I totally understand. This process is so stressful at the best of times, that we clutch on to anything that gives us some slight insight to explain our situation. If that didn't happen to me yesterday, I would find some other reason as to why it probably won't work, just to protect myself. I'm sure we all do this.
I rang the scientist today (now that my mind was a little clearer) to ask how often this happens. Her answer was; 'once every three weeks'. It just happens that it was my turn. Which doesn't surprise me. Anything crappy that can happen, tends to happen to me lately (in the last two and a half years) anyway. How many people get the likelihood of having 2 ectopic pregnancies (with both tubes removed) & then gets an embryo stuck in the catheter. There must be something my embryos like about tubes. She did reassure me that people still get pregnant when they get stuck .
Now I'm starting to rant, I must really be in the 2WW. I hope I made some sort of sense.
I'm catching up on here while DH makes Tacos for dinner - yum.
Starbright - Oh I felt bad after reading your post about the embies getting stuck. It's true though what Coral said...they're sticky which is perfect! I hope the rest of your time posting on here is more positive...we can be lighthearted sometimes!
Coral - I was talking to DH about this comparison thing yesterday. He says I'm always comparing myself and I agreed, but I've definately started to learn (albeit slowly) that you can't compare apples and pears - not that I'm trying to sound all Jamie Oliver. Each one of us has different experiences even if the problem is the same and the meds are the same. In addition, all 3 of my cycles have been different, although this one more so than first 2, which is probably the drugs being increased. What I"m trying to say by waffling is to not be too disheartened about what your feeling/not feeling this time, and don't compare too much to other experiences. Easy said I know, but in this 2ww I reckon anything is worth a try.
Terry - oooohhh I"m excited for ya.....wishing you all the luck m'dear. Enjoy your dinner and sleep as well as possible
Londonmiss - oohh massage!!! I had one last cycle....there is nothing better I swear. I love being pampered.
Mel - hey how you going!? My clinic said that regardless of 2 day or 5 day transfer the BT is 16 days post egg pick up. So my EPU was on 21st, we transferred blasty on 26th and my BT is on 5th Nov. (the test is on the 15th day, results 16th)
AFM - well I'm gonna be quick cos dinner's served....no change really. no symptoms. trying to see it as good thing, successful so far. WARNING to anyone who's fragile though. Went to see Couples Retreat at cinema...there is a couple who have fertility issues....Who would've guessed!?!
Airline, please don't feel bad. We're in the 2WW. It's is our job to analyze and obsess. I just couldn't believe the discussion topic had just happened to me. If we are tough enough to get this far through the TTC journey, then we can cope with a stuck embryo! All is good.
I want to see that movie. Did you enjoy it? Did it make you teary?
Hey starbright, film was ok. there were some funny bits, didn't make me teary at all...but the whole reason the couples go away is cos one couple has infertiliy issues. Took me by surprise and I might not've been so good if in a 'bad place'
Welcome to the 2WW Star Light and best of luck like so many of the others have said don't stress too much I'm sure everything will be fine.
As for all the other regulars glad to hear that you are all progressing along nicely.
AFM - spent a pretty sleepness night last night in anticipation of today. DH couldn't sleep either and ended up getting out of bed watching TV. last night me sister in law couldn't beleive that I hadn't gone out to buy a test I was so tempted but DH kept me sane once again. I went off to get my BT full of hope and excitement as still no sysmptoms...so they wait is now on and I promise to at least post the result maybe with not much detail as soon as I can. The nurse upset me a bit so now I'm scared she said these BT's can show one of 3 things if its over 100 then it's positive under 2 then negative inbetween these numbers means something is happening but another test will be needed....and here I was thinking I was on the home straight
Just a quick one from me this morning as I am covering reception and can't quite as easily post.... Only a few personals today so a big hello to everyone I haven't mentioned !
terry - WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK TODAY... . I have everything crossed for you that you will get your long awaited BFP!!!
star~bright - You totally made sense and I'm glad to hear you are feeling better about the situation.... 'ing that the 2WW treats you well and time goes quickly for you!
airline - Thanks for the words of wisdom airline . I needed to hear them and you are so right! Trying to take a step back from it all now... Had a big chat with DH last night as I was a bit of a mess and we have both agreed to look at it as though we have a BFN... If we are extremely lucky and it happens to go the other way then we figure it will be a nice surprise! Doing it this way so I don?t keep going from one extreme to the other, he, he! I so want to see Couples Retreat.... looks really funny!
Glad to hear that you have no symptoms going on as I really do think that it's a good sign!
Terry - not sure if you'll pop back on before results are in, but don't be too disheartened by what nurse said. I know she's the professional and i'm not but....my second cycle, the nurse said they like the first BT to be between 80 and 100 and start doubling 'rougly' every 48 hours. Now somewhere on here there are lovely girls like you and me who've had hCG no.s that are considered 'low'...ie not the norm. ... ie. maybe even 46 or something .... and gone on to have a healthy bubba. One lovely lady pmd me by telling me her story of success in similar circumstances. It does mean more BTs to confirm a day or so later...I had that last cycle and yes it does suck, but......plse, keep chin up as best possible. hugs.
Coral - I did waffle somewhat last night...but I knew what I was trying to communicate! :-)
What you and DH are doing is pretty much what we did last time and it's a good self preservation method. Fingers crossed still.
LM - enjoy Sydney!!
AFM - still nothing really. Had a twinge on one side when I got up after typing on BB last night, but nothing else. Got a busy weekend planned, socialising, babysitting friends kids (8 and 9 so no issue:-) ) more socialising and relaxing.
Coral I was reading back through the posts and saw you asked me a question about my cycle, sory I didn't answer you sooner.
My las 3 IUI cycles hve all been completely different, the first was a 28 day, second a 32 day, and this month a 37, cuz by eggies diddnt react to the Puregon injections as well, I had 5 eggs at one stage then ended up with 2 biggies. So I ended up enduring 15nights of Puregon and 4 scans cuz egies and ovaried weren't behaving, thus the long cycle, I had IUI on loke day 22 I think it was.............crazy.
Starbright IKWYM, I promised myself that since this is the last IUI for us, I would not read anything my body was doing, and promised myself that I would relax and enjoy the ride as such, yeah who was I idding hey, this time round I've been the worst eva!!!!
I hope that you are soldiering on ok babe, giving you strength that I seem to be lacking right now X
Airline Hope that you are still sane, did they say stay away from a stiff scotch
I need one!!! Let's pretend we had one, If our brains can trick us into having these stressfull symptoms, we should trick it back!
Mel, Moonflower, Hope you girls are feling good and spirits are high today X
Londonmiss hope you are enjoying Sydney X
Mitf if you have dropped by, Thanks chicky XXX
AFM, woken in a much better mood, as of now anyway no crampiness yet today so my poor mind can get back to some house work thismorn!
Hey just thaught I'd cheekily let you girls know I have cooked for DH once in 6 nights!! And that was spaghetti!! Have been out at BBQ's, birthdays ect, getting towards 'Silly Season'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He made me cook bacon and eggs thismorn though....
!
. Try to not let it worry you (I know that it is easier said than done as it was always at the back of my mind) as my FS did assure me that they have had BFP's in situations where embies have gotten stuck before.
and Good Luck
for the 2WW!
