Did you ask your FS why they didn't transfer that 2nd embryo as if it's so-so it has a better chance of making it as a fresh transfer than going through the freeze/thaw?
Also, why would you have to wait 3 months if this cycle doesn't work (I'm not an expert on the different types of cycles but 3 months sounds like a long wait). Of course, maybe you'll get great news and you won't need to worry about a 2nd cycle!
I am sorry to hear of your bfn. Go easy on yourself & take some time out if you can. You sound like you have the right attitude, focusing on the next step, which is great.
Neptune- Am so very sorry. I know your pain. Be good to your heart and stay strong. Big hugs.
Ruth- YAY...we made it!! Congrats to you..
AFM- 2 beautiful embies transferred yesterday at blastie and amazingly another 5 frozen. I feel very blessed with our results. I just know this is our cycle.
Hope everyone is going well. Hope I don't drive you all crazy here!!
Firstly a delated thank you for your best wishes, will take them all on board and get set for a healthy pregnancy. I've had computer problems but have found a temp work around, couldn't wait to log back on to see how you were all faring.
Neptune, I am so sorry to hear that your result was BFN, must be tough even if you didn't believe the POAS result. FET's are much easier on the body than a stim cycle so wishing you the BFP you deserve next cycle.
MillyMoo, must be touch for you. I had heavy bleeding when I was 10wks preg with my DD and it was so stressful. Luckily turned out to be nothing other than hormonal bleeding but the wait to find out was tough. Hope you're doing ok.
Brooke, sorry if I missed someone elses reply to your questions and doubled up - cramping like AF is arriving was very much a part of my previous pregnancy and I did feel heaviness a couple of days before my BT to the point that I told my DH that AF was about to arrive. I remember with my DD feeling really ripped off about the whole crampiness feeling which lasted for about 10wks as I thought one of the extra bonuses was that no AF would arrive but instead I felt like she was constantly around - still, I won't complain!
AF will arrive at the end of your 2WW. In theory (but don't quote me on it as I'm sure I'm using the wrong words) the arrival of AF signals the start of a new cycle therefore a new egg which will be released when you ovulate, the 2WW starts when you ovulate (or a couple of days after depending on how many days old your embryo is).
At the end of the TWW (for most) you are either pregnant - and no AF or AF arrives to kick off the start of a new cycle. When you get your BFN you will approx 4 weeks pregnant 2 weeks after you ovulated/embryo transferred because pregnancy is considered to have started with the new cycle/egg. I hope that makes sense and is somewhat correct - pls anyone feel free to correct if I've got it wrong.
I am joining the TWW after having a FET of 2 beautiful embies on Tuesday morning.
Ruth - I too had a low embie count from a high number of eggs. My FS just kept telling me that it only takes one to make a baby. Hoping that this is the one for you.
Bel - great to hear your ET went well and you've got snowbubs as well, although fingers crossed you won't need them.
Brooke - I am not sure when AF comes in the TWW, in my first cycle AF arrived 3 days before my BT and was about day 11 after EPU. I have a short luteal phase (sp?) so it was unusal for AF to arrive before the BT and while I was still on Crinone, which I was happy to stop using.
I haven't had a chance to catch up on all of the threads so good thoughts and sticky sticky vibes to eveyone.
AFM - Day 3 of the TWW and I feel fine. A FET is much easier than the stim cycle, I feel completely normal, well as normal as someone who is paranoid about every feeling and whether or not is implantation. At least time it is just my own parania and not amplified by hormone drugs!
