Just what I was thinking...not over until the BT says so hun

MH I am sorry to hear you have liver problems. I hope Saph's story gives you some comfort about what is possible.

That is awesome news Saph! Congrats hun. What a wonderful turn around

everyone!

Seph - I'm so sorry that you've started spotting already. I still have my fingers crossed for you though, because you just never know. Look at BDT.... she was spotting brown for a couple of days before she got her BFP.

Saph - Congrats on the BFP honey. I am so happy for you. This last week must have been so surreal for you... thinking it was a BFN and accepting that, and then finding out that it was a BFP. That's amazing!! All the best for a H&H pregnancy.

Meo - so sorry yours was a BFN too. Good luck for the upcoming FET.

Delly - Not quite sure what to say about your scan results honey. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to find "nothing out of the ordinary", but yet still not getting a BFP. I wonder if I'm going to be in the same boat one day. It amazes me how many couples have unexplained infertility and still can't get pregnant. It just doesn't make sense. What is your next move? When will your next cycle be?

Wishes xoxo

Hey Seph - I really hope it's good news darling, hang in there
Mindhugs - Sweetheart that is awful I hope they find the solution and your liver does its job
Wishes - I really don't know I need to get stuck back in and start again but I fell from a great height this time. I will call my FS later this week and go back in we have one frostie (an early blastie) and hopefully we can get started again this month, I just don't feel all that hopeful anymore.

Right - I am off back to TTC thread but will keep an eye on all of you and cannot wait to see BFPs!
Hugs

I wish I could swear on this thread, cause there's no polite words to describe anything I'm feeling right now.

My bbs are sore, and I feel like my bladder is full all the time even though it's not. Neither of these things happen before or during AF. But the brown stuff has turned to bright red and AF is on her way. I haven't had any AF cramps - only the full bladder feeling. See, I'm driving myself around in circles right now. I know it's stupid to do this, but I can't help it. AF will arrive tomorrow and I'll be out of my misery.

I hope those testing this week get some BFP's. Mine seems elusive as always, and I suppose like everyone else on here, I never thought I'd be signing up for a fifth ET and still have never seen two lines on a stick. All I want in life is two lines on a stick.

Sorry for the rant, hope everyone is doing okay,
Seph

Persephone - I hope you are wrong. Its so tough. We try for so long and then start IVF full of hope and then watch others get pregnant on the first or second or third try, and still nothing. Its really hard. I'm wishing you luck and lovely thoughts.

Well, it's a BFN for me - I was goint to poas tomorrow morning but AF arrived this evening complete with clots and cramps, so there won't be any need.

Feeling pretty devastated. DH suggested I not get my hopes up so much each time, that way I won't be so devastated when it fails.

I can't help thinking that despite everything - the acupuncture, the herbs, supplements, no caffeine, no smoking or drinking, no obesity, no diseases or conditions - that it doesn't matter what I do, this just won't happen. Should I be asking FS for more investigation and tests? Is there any point?

Sorry, feeling pretty ****y with the whole thing.
Will be around - no doubt in the 'questions about your treatment' and LTTC threads. Thanks for your support Ladies, it was very much appreciated - good luck to those in the TWW.

Seph

Default slothful Mrs

hi seph, i feel exactly the same. BT is tomorrow but AF since Sunday. I didnt get my hopes up, but that doesnt stop the emotions when it doesnt work. Even though you dont want to hope, you do.....hard to explain to others.

I am looking into acupuncture as well, anything to improve the chances, but still feel a bit like you....this may never work for us.

Anyway, i think if i learned anything the last time, it't to just get through the first week after a BFN and things will seem a bit better after that.

best wishes to all.
jane.

Hi everyone i hope you don't mind me joining you.Dp and i have been ttc for 4.5 years and only one pregnancy in that time that m/c.we are getting ready for our first ivf cycle in next couple months.I think i ovulated saturday and we dtd so luckily timing was right for once.(dp working long hours so not so easy for right timing each cycle) . monday night (*((*) were a little tender and the last couple mornings i have been wanting to throw up.(*)(*) are a bit sorer too.moody as hell the last day or two as well.im not getting my hopes up too much as i do get similar symptoms occassionally but this feels different so crossing my fingers in case.AF due later next week.

I have two daughters from a previous relationship and with them started getting symptoms practically from day 1.

Congrats BDT and Saph on your BFP's

Seph - I'm so sorry to hear that AF has arrived for you. Try to stay strong and I'll be hoping and praying that next time will be your time. It's so hard to stay positive in these situations, and it's easy to give out the advice, but I hope you know in your heart that it will happen for you and you'll get your BFP soon. Hang in there sweets.

Trubabe - good luck to you in your TWW. I hope you get a BFP at the end of it.

To everyone else still out there waiting to test, good luck and fingers crossed.

Wishes xoxo

Quick hijack

Seph and JayeJaye - sorry it wasnt your time yet. Hang in there though for next time. I know we here this a lot but it could well be just not the right time/month.
Thinking of you both x

Trubabe - All the very best

Hi Seph, so sorry to hear your result for this cycle . Just drawing your attention to these two threads, in case you are interested in further testing. I had these tests done after my 4th unsuccessful cycle, I also tried the Colorado Protocol, I did eventually test positive for MTHFR and have been taking Clexane and Prednisone, and have just gotten my first ever BFP on my 7th transfer. I do believe sometimes it is a numbers game, but sometimes there are also other issues and it might be best to at least rule any out.

Immunology Testing

Tests because of failing to implant

Wishing everyone the best of luck. Big hugs.

BDT, that is so helpful, thank you. Will talk to my FS about some tests - if nothing else to set my mind at rest. Thank you!

Default Back again then out again!!

Hi everyone,

I have been haunting the boards over the last month trying not to obsess about this, my second stim cycle, but can hold back no more - but no sooner am I in than I am out and feeling might maudlin about it too. I guess I'm here looking for a shoulder to cry on

I started a second stim on the 29th May and had my retrieval on the 9th, didnt get so good a turn out 2nd time around - only 6 eggs, 3 embryos, one transferred one frozen. Again, the fresh transfer little bugger didnt take, wt? I thought they were supposed to be the "good" ones. This is my 4th transfer and I even had some investigation prior to make sure I dont have any immune "issues" and was given the all clear, even with that the doctor put me on predisolone and still nada. I feel like the gods are against me.

I hate the progesterone pessaries they make me cranky as all hell, I even yelled at my best friend last week - something I would never do even if they have been annoying me! Plus they delay the witch - just c'mon already!

Sorry to whine and complain I am just hoping that my 1 frostie does the job for me - I was worried I would have nothing to freeze, so when I got the letter in the mail telling me that 1 had survived to freeze I burst into tears. Maybe lucky 5?

Anyhow goodluck to all still waiting.

BG xxxx

Hi Girls,

Well I am out also. Got AF overnight and getting lots of lovely cramps right now - ouch!

I will go and get my liver sorted out and most likely pursue those BT's that BDT has recommended also and hopefully be back in here again soon.

Thanks for all the kind words and support. Good luck to those who are awaiting results. Fingers crossed for your BFP.

Take care and have a great weekend!

Hey Everyone....

Well I am out for this month too.
did a POAS test and got a BFN!!!! AF due Monday.
Sort of knew in myself it wasn't going to happen this month.
DH kept rubbing my belly the whole month and talking to it but i just knew it wasn't going to work deep down in my stomach. I dunno perhaps I am just to down to get hopeful.

So we go back for our #2nd stim IUI I guess.
I speak to FS on mon / Tues to discuss IVF which is where we will be in 2 months anyhow why not start sooner is my question !!!!..
Good luck to everyone left in the TWW. May I see few of you in the next TWW thread.
Em
