I'm back here in the TWW after a hard week (my first IVF cycle ended last month with a ). I had my retrieval on Monday - I was told they had 3 eggs...which seemed fine...but on Tues morning - AT WORK (ugh) - I received a call that none of them had made it through the night. As I had 1 frozen embryo from last month's cycle, my FS & I agreed to defrost it and put it in today (which would have been my 2 day transfer date). Much to my surprise (I was in a very negative mind space yesterday), the embryo survived the thaw and is now in my tummy. Blood test is on the 7th of Oct.
Possums - I'm hoping that you are proof that frozen embryo's are strong enough to hang on!
I'll be checking in regularly in the hope of seeing some s!
kateB..don't give up the fight just yet. I had 9 eggs collected on my first cycle with 7 fertilising. Over the next 4 days each one slowly dropped off until only 1 was left on transfer day. I am now 22 weeks pg. As everyone will tell you, you only need one little strong one to survive and this one inside you may just very well be the one!! Good luck.
Farmgirl, hope you are doing ok. Enjoy your break, take the time you need to feel positive and ready to move forward. It's a hard time. So much hope and expectation. I look forward to seeing you back here soon and supporting you on your journey to become a mum.
Luckystrike!! Tomorrow's the big day. Wishing the very best of luck. My fingers, toes and everything are crossed that you will have good news tomorrow. Hope you are feeling well and AF has stayed away. :goodluck2: :goodluck2:
Welcome KateB. Glad to see you had a much better response this cycle than last. I can't imagine how relieved you must have been when your body reacted well to the stimulation. Hoping the little embie you have inside is getting snuggly and cosy.
Congrats Buliej on your ET today. What an emotional week for you. Glad you were able to transfer a frozen embie. Hoping it is a strong little one and wants to hang around. Fingers crossed you have some good news on the 7th.. the tww will be over before you know it (even though the BT date seems sooo far away!)
Alloy, what a fright you must have got after falling asleep and missing your pregnyl shot! It quickly wakes you up when your brain starts ticking over - regardless of the time of the night/early morning!!
Nicole, JodieC65 and Meo... we are so close! Only 2 more sleeps!! Sounds like we're waiting for Santa at Christmas time... Here's hoping he brings some BFPs wrapped up in a BT on Friday for us all!!
1 sleep to go for me, yippee!
I dont know what to feel. I dont have symptoms, but I still dont have AF so who knows I may be in with a chance. I suspect it may be a BFP b/c I have all my usual AF symptoms but I wont know until tomorrow.
I was crazy all afternoon, starting to get gittery. I dont think I will be able to concentrate at work tomorrow. I have to mentally prepare myself for both answers tomorrow, as I will be at work and wont be able to talk to anyone about it.
I dont want to get my hopes up, but I pray that I have a BFP waiting for me tomorrow, I was so upset last week when my breasts were down i was crying and emotional for days, but AF still hasnt arrived, so all I can do is hope for the best.
I will try and post as soon as I hear anything tomorrow, but it may not be immediate as I will be at work. I'll try me best though.
kaydee thankyou and I hope your BFP will be here on Friday! We went through the IUI together and started IVFtogether, wouldnt if be great if we both got BFP's!
buliej congrats on the FET, hope that little embie sticks!
Kate congrats on the ET, hope it brings you a BFP. Same thing happened to me, I only had one embie left on transfer day, so if I dont get a BFP tomorrow it will be another stim cycle for me.
Good luck for your BT on Monday!
Anyone else I have missed, big hello to you and hope you get your BFP this time. Forgive me if I have missed you but I am very distracted this evening as I have 1 sleep left and will finally get my answer. I have stayed away from HPT's so I have no idea what the answer will be tomorrow, I just pray for a good result, I pray for a BFP!
LuckyStrike- All the very best for tomorrow. I hope so so much tomorrow is a magical day for you. Try to stay nice and busy while waiting for the call...easy to say I know!!!
I'm back from my work trip. Just wanted to pop in and wish each and every one of you all the best for your TWW's.
I know a few of you are testing on Friday so I'll be looking out for you all and wishing you all the best for the 26th.
Farmgirl- I'm so very sorry. I know your pain and I hope you get through the next few days ok. We are all here for you.
Kate- I can imagine you are upset with not having any embies to freeze. I've had some upsetting results with our embies not surviving the thaw. We have had 2 cancelled cycles for this reason. One of the embryologists had a talk to me once and explained to me that some embies don't like to be frozen and some just don't like to be out of your body. So while I know you are questioning the little one inside you, you should know that the best place for this little one to be is inside you. That's where embies naturally should be. I keep telling myself this to get through the hard times of losing embies. So my long rant is basically tell you to stay strong and positive because this little one in you is hopefully very happy and growing stongly. Embies should be in their mummies!! Looking forward to hearing some good news from you soon.
Everyone else...will be checking up on you all daily
