Default new to your forum and first time ivf

Hi everyone,

I have been reading your stories and now i know what other women REALLY go through!!

I feel for all of you as i now know how it feels starting my cycle for the first time. I have had the blastocyst put back in and awaiting the result on monday. They keep telling me that if i get a period its all over. i dont have one yet but really worried i will as its only a few days waiting and i have sore boobs and no feeling down there except a little discomfort. i think that is from the crinone. i am 32 yo and i dont have any tubes due to two ectopic pregnancies as my tubes exploded on both sides . I feel that i dont have a chance. I just got married and feel really emotional. why so i feel like dirt!!!!!? I only have one more good blasto they said from the 11 collected i only got 1 5 day blasto which they inserted and another one on ice at 6 days.

I am sick of waiting and thinking of getting a home test. i keep thinking if i do i will be kidding myself and just to wait. Any advice from anyone would be a big help. Just feel really alone today and cant stop crying.

Good luck girls!!!

Gina

Gina,
I just wanted to send you some hugs, although I dont know exactly what your going through as I didnt do IVF, but I had an ectopic pg in 05 (lost one tube) and took 1.5yrs to concieve this bub, I know how emotionally draining this can be. Be kind to yourself sweety. The girls in this thread are fab so you have come to the right place for support.

Wishing you so much luck and hope you dont have to wait long for your dream to come to true.

Lisa

Wink Best of luck

Gina,

sending out lots of luck and positive vibes !!!
I know what it's like to have two ectopics (I too lost both my tubes to them). Was then told I had premature menopause (aged 35). I am now on the begining of my 4th journey ICSI.

I really wish you best of luck for Monday, stay strong and take some "chill out" time just for YOU !!

Thanks Sarah,

I cant tell you how great the support is on this thread. Thanks for your kind words. I hope all goes well for you too. I think we will both need chill out time. You have certainly had it rough too. Its cool - take the good with the bad. Otherwise we will all go absolutely stark raving bonkers.

I will let you know what happens on magic monday - hopefully and we can keep in touch.

Hi Gina,
Well done on trying to stay positive. That's a great attitude to have. It's nice to have some people to talk to who can truly relate to how you feel. Hope you get all the support and :hugs: that you need.
for a good result for you.

Thanks Jo,

I hope i get a positive on Monday too. Support comes from the last place you thought it would as i feel comfortable to speak my mind here and not get judged. Good luck with your plight too. I just did a hpt and it was positive but that could be just the drugs. I am not counting on it. Having a mental breakdown today but better now. Talk to you on Monday and let you know of my result. Thanks for your kind and beautiful words!! So nice to meet nice people.

Gina I'm hoping for your infertility journey to be a short one and for you to get a bfp on Monday. Keep busy over the weekend because those last few days do take forever.
