Alloy, sorry to hear that you too are doubtful this cycle.
This truly does sux....
As for the women who did 19 icsi cycles my mouth almost hit the ground!!!
Financally and emotionally this would be a killer.
AFM my bb are not hurting as much this morning but still had a stitch like feeling yesterday so who knows.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend ladies and I hope that this continues to be a AF Free Zone!!
STAY AWAY AF WE DON'T WANT YOU!!!!!
Hi Everyone and hope you are all having a lovely weekend, and trying not to stress too much. Welcome also to Meo - no. 5 for the 26/9 - there sure are a lot of us waiting for this TWW to be over.
I too am feeling quite crappy today - a bit hormonal and emotional and feeling quite a bit of pain mainly down my left side - bit like a stitch. The AF cramps are coming and going, but not too strong - so fingers crossed hey
To Alloy, Farmgirl and Luckystrike - keep on smiling and try try to remain positive, although I know first hand how easy that is to say.
Nicole - I hope that the pains you were having have subsided and that you are feeling OK today.
Lets all hang in there and remember the BFP's will happen.
I do agree this is a AF free thread - so STAY AWAY AF, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU HERE.
Luckystrike, I hope feeling ok. It's hard not to read into the changes in our bodies and still remain positive. If AF hasn't started, keep that hope.
Welcome Meo and JodieC65. Hope you girls have been feeling well and you have some happy news by the end of the week. There's so many of us testing on the 26th.
Buliej, good luck for your epu tomorrow. Hope you get lots of eggs and fertilisation rate is high.
Farmgirl, it must be so hard for you socially to be isolated where you live. I can't imagine what sort of pressure you're feeling because of that. I'm so hoping you get your bfp soon, I'd imagine more doors would open in terms of meeting people. Stay strong for the rest of the week. The changes in our bodies, the ones we always read as meaning AF is on its way, may be hormonal changes for good reasons. My fingers and toes are all crossed for you.
Alloy, glad they were able to catch the lower hormone levels and give you pregnyl booster shots. Your preg BT would have been moved to allow the pregnyl to be out of your system by BT day because it can give a false positive result if you test too early. The woman you spoke to who did 19 cycles must have been an incredibly strong woman to keep going again and again.
AFM, I haven't had any more bleeds like the one last week. A little light spotting now and again but I'm not stressing about it... I guess I've come to the point where if this cycle doesn't work, I'm ok - we'll just go again. I felt really crappy the day of the bleed and while the nurse said it could mean anything - because everyone responds differently to the hormones and treatment - I guess I'm more relaxed about the result on Friday. It would be so awesome if it's worked, but if it doesn't, there are still options for us in doing another cycle with one of our frozen ones. We'll see if I'm still as relaxed about it all as we get closer to BT day!! I finish Crinone tomorrow but pessaries don't finish until Thursday morning. Apparently if AF will start it will be within a few days of finishing Crinone.. Not sure if the pessaries have any effect on AF coming or not.
Sorry for the ridiculously long post! Hope you all enjoy what's left of the weekend.
Kaydee - Glad you are feeling better about the spotting. Atleast you have embies ready for a FET. I guess all I can say is dont rule anything out yet and hopefully AF will stay away and there will be a suprise BFP for you.
NicoleS keep strong, you seem to be going well so far, I have a good feeling about you this month!
Alloy sorry you are feeling bad as well. The only thing I would say to you though, is that if the clinic didnt think a pregnancy was possibe for you they wouldnt bother with the Pregnyl shots. You must still be in the race otherwise they wouldnt make you continue for nothing, and your BT was moved b/c the pregnal may give you a false positive if you test too early, so keep your chin up! Hoping you get your BFP this month.
AS for the lady being pregnant aftere 19 cycles, that is unbeleivable! I know definiteley we would give up before then. That is a long time and a lot of stress, a lot of 2WW's and not to mention a lot of money. Good on her for being strong enought to do it!
Farmgirl, sorry you are feeling crap too. This process is very draining emotionally and financially. The other day my DH also told me that he is willing to do 1 more stim cycle and then wants to stop and give up. He feels very dissapointed that our chances this month arent looking so good. Its been really hard on both of us, I pray that I am completeley wrong about all this and get a nice suprise on Thursday but I'm not holding my breath. Good luck for Thursday too, lets hope by some miracle we both get a happy suprise. I think I'll spend the day crying with delight if happens
Buliej good luck with EPU tomorrow, hope you get lots of good eggs.
Meo and JodieC65, I hope you are doing well!
AFM Its been a crazy few days. First the BB going back to normal, then the night sweating, well a couple nights ago I started noticing chunks of the crinione coming out of me with small amounts of blood through them. And then today .....the chunks had a lot of blood thru then (sorry TMI) Still no AF, but I have these red clots coming out of me. I called the nurses, just to see what they want me to do, and she was really nice. She said I should still continue with the crinone and I should rule myself out yet. Apparently some women get aggrivated from the crinone and it can cause what I was describing to her. She said it could be the start of AF or it could be crinone but I shouldn't write myself off yet. I told her I was not very positive b/c of the BB's going normal again, but she said that the meds make our bodies do strange things. Anyway This has not made me feel any more positive, but I guess while I dont have AF I am still technically in the running. I, like Kaydee have come to terms with the fact that most likeley I'll be getting a BFN this month, but will be going straight back into a stim cycle, so I guess I'll be moving on one way or another.
Sorry for the extra long msg today but I havent been on for a while, and also lost 2 posts yesterday, so I was determined to get something in today!
4 more sleeps until BT so lets just see what happens.
Happy Monday for tomorrow.
