Cheryl, I'm so sorry honey . I know how it feels when you look at this 'my life depends on it' pee stick and after good several minutes when the second line doesn't appear, your heart just sinks. Like Megan said, your body might still be out of whack but please don't give up on that dream of yours hun, as like they say, if you don't try, you won't get. I know how terribly disappointing it all is, I tested myself the last couple of cycles as I swear I was light headed and queazy a week or so after I O'd, only to discover it was all in my head. But with every disappointment, it makes me try even more, as I know I will get there one day, and so will you my love. Please don't ever give up hun, because that precious BFP we'll all after might just be around the corner .
Megan, I really hope AF stays away this time hun , but if the witch shows her ugly head, I will be cheering you on next month. I think we'll all might get our BFPs in July!!!!!!
I have tried AP a few years ago but it was for my migranes and it really helped me I remember. In terms of IVF and AP, I actually rang a lady a few weeks ago (who came highly recommended by my FS) and asked her if it was a good idea of trying it around the time of my FET. She told me that she mainly saw women who have tried several cycles with no success, and told me to give it a miss this time, but come and see her if I wasn't getting anywhere with my cycles. She was nice enough to say that she hopes to never see me!!
My FS said to only try AP if I was really anxious and stressed about the cycle but I can't see how it would hurt to give it a go anyway. Let me know how you go hun, I might even give it a go myself. I remember the lady saying to me that I sounded very positive about my FET (I must have been having a good day lol) and staying relaxed (I know it's hard to do) and most importantly positive, was the key to it all.
Dee, I hope all is well with you hun, always thinking of you x
Bec, what have you been up to hun?
Diana, how is it all going sweets? I hope work is not too full on these days..
Well it's been very quiet in here lately, I think all our lovely mummies have joined another thread! Good on you guys, I wish you all the very best. I think it's only a handful of us trying in here, lots of babydust and stickyvibes to us all .
I will hopefully have my transfer with my next cycle now, I am on CD8 and will practice in a few days to pinpoint my O time (they told me to use clearblue brand as it's the one they use). The IVF nurse told me to call her on the first day of my AF this month (should be around 23 June) and then I have to call them when I detect O, and then they will tell me when to come in for my transfer. I would guess it will be around 10 July. They wait a few days after O to put the embie in. I have decided to just relax and go with the flow, what ever will be will be. I think I will be OK if I don't get my BFP with my FET, I will just organise for a full stim. cycle asap.
Hi Beata, I really hope AF stays away as well, but just haven't felt confident at all this month. AF is due from tomorrow, so I am sure I'll know by the end of the week. No signs either way at this stage. I'm just hoping that if I'm not pg, my LP has lengthend. I booked in for AP on Saturday, so I'll let you all know how I go. I'm a bit confused as to why the AP you were recommended said to call her if you have a few failed attempts? If AP helps during IVF / FET etc, why wouldn't you try it from the beginning? Gosh, not long now how until your FET, I will be praying so hard for you to get a BFP first go. You have been such a wonderful support to so many women that I pray you get your long awaited baby first attempt
Dee, how are you going hun. Still thinking of you
Bec, hope you are going ok as well.
Lan, you too if your still lurking. really hope you have your BFP.
It has been very quiet in here lately. I guess that is a good thing, means there are lots of us who are now preggas, and not a lot of new people, which is great, IYKWIM.
Megan, the reason why the AP lady didn't think I needed the treatment, is because I had no trouble conceiving on my first attempt. She said that if I had gone through several failed cycles, I could come and see her then. She told me that she generally only sees women who have gone through a few failed cycles and were emotionally and physically very stressed and run down. Apparently with IVF, AP only helps if you keep having failed cycles and are very stressed and anxious as that really lowers your chances in conceiving through IVF, so the treatment balances you out and really helps you to relax. So, my strategy is that if this FET cycle is unsuccessful (please God let it be successful) , and then I do a fresh stimulated cycle and that's unsuccessful, then I will try AP. I should be well and truly stressed and spent by then (please God don't let it come to this!). I am now more worried that if I do get pg with this transfer, how will I go through the 8 1/2 months of being pg and continually worry that something might go wrong? Oh hun, when does all the worry end ??????
I really hope AF stays away sweets, good luck with the AP app. and let me know how you feel afterwards.
Diana, sending you the biggest hugs I can muster, please take it easy and I hope all works itself out soon. Just please try to relax as much as possible hun & keep that positive thinking going!!!
Possums, thanks for your encouragement hun!!! Wishing you much success too, I hope you get your much wanted BFP soon.
Hi to everyone else, bring on the long weekend!!
Stickyvibes and lots of babydust to us all TTC!!!! Bring it on I say!!!!!!!
