[GreenFingers]

Sarah - I have not been testing and its been hard to resist the urge! AF is due 11/1 so planning to test on Sunday (10/30) so I can enjoy a long day of moping if necessary rather than rush off to work!

Thought I am very much hoping that I will be seeing a faint 2nd line for the first time ever! Would just love to know that a BFP can actually happen!

 

[GreenFingers]

Oh Hockey i have everything crossed for you x

and please do stick around, I never understand it when people get pregnant and they dont come and post in here anymore.

I totally agree with this.

I do have to say that I don't read the bfp sticky, it stings a little bit
But, I love to read the bfps after fertility treatments. Seeing women work so hard to achieve something that I think EVERY women has the right to experience, gets me a little teary eyed. I get so excited for them.

yes me too! anyone who has taken some time to get a BFP Im happy for and especially the assisted. Its the 'dont give up hope I got pregnant first time at 40' that sting me!!

I was just reading the IVF successes in the assisted folder, lots of people have success first time! but I am not allowing myself to get hopeful or excited as I dont want to be crushed. Too bad really, it would be nice to go into it really excited.

It's a hard balance isn't it?
When I did IUI the last time, I was trying so hard to be realistic, but wanted to be so hopeful. It seems like the higher your hopes get, the harder the fall.
It's a really confusing time.

But, how do you not hope? We all want this SO bad. It's impossible not to have hope. That's why we are doing it. If there wasn't hope, we wouldn't be here.

theres definitely hope, but its masked with uncertainty and fear
I feel like going into next month really positive and excited, why the hell not, if I do get sticky bfp then it would have been a really nice journey.
if not, will the fall be that much worse than if Id be cautious all month? is it 2 days of crying compared with 1? if so I can take that. I suppose the level of excitement is also determind by how well you respond to the drugs, how many (if any) they collect, how many go the distance etc.
boy its going to be a ride...

 

[readyformore]

Good attitude.

May as well be excited.

And really, even if I say I have my feet on the ground, I'm probably lying,

 

[Milty]

I say be excited!

I feel excited just because I'm taking steps forward. I go in for blood tests on Nov. 7th CD 22. CD 21 is on Sunday so....

Today is only CD10 for me but I think I'm going to O tomorrow. Other than that I've just been out spending money on TTC or baby stuff which I almost never ever do anymore. I even catch myself giving my friends money or gift cards for baby shower gifts so I'm really bad. My DH keeps looking at me funny like are you ok but is not saying a word.

 

[ksluice]

I'm in for that, and with those words I am committing to full on hopefulness even with the complex news I got today.

Here's to more optimism than cautiousness (at least for the next two weeks)

DITTO!!!!

I really think you have to have hope, be relaxed and enjoy as much as you can, celebrate each little step. For instance when i got 6 out of 7 eggs fertilised i thought even if this doesn't work i will take hope from that amazing percentage!
