Omg I can't believe it! I got a BFP!! I cried so much, I just can't believe it. Iv never had a BFP in 6 years.

My beta level is 2011 I just can't believe it. I don't know what to say!!

Ladies thank you sooo much for all ur support, I wish and I pray that you all have a BFP, I know this journey is hard but stay strong. Xxxx
 
Whoowhooo celebration time.... Congratulations to you & Hubby..well done..
Did they mention twins with those figures? I haven't a clue about betas...

Well pleased for you yearning. 2nd time lucky for us xxx
 
Yeah second time lucky. I was checking the beta information website and with that level of beta is likely to be twins. I got my scan on 1st July. I still believe it, this is like a dream.
 
Hello everyone,

Sorry i've not been about very much but i just needed some time to get my head around everything but i'm fine now i think & just getting ready for the next try.

Yearning - Congratulation I am soooooo pleased for you especially after your weeks of stimming you must be beyond happy xx

Twinkle - It's good that your Doc's are going o to some more tests to see if there is any underlying reason that it's not been working so fingers crossed for you that everything works out.

I have read all the other posts but there are so many that i can't remember what everyone has put but i think you are all going along smoothly.

I was just wondering if anyone who has had a failed cycle had any bleeding about a week after there period cos i have & it's been about 4 day since it started, it's not alot but i do have to wear a pantliner & i've had awful stomach pains. I've looked on the net & it seems to me normal but i just wondered if anyone had experienced the same?
 
Yearning Heart - Huge congratulations, so very pleased for you :happydance:

Emz - so sorry but I don't have any experience that can help.

So so happy for you yearningheart, first bfp in 6 years, I cant imagine how you feel ( though I hope to have that feeling soon!) amazing news, bet it's twins!! Xx
 
Hi emz, good to have u bk, sorry I dont have experience in that but hope you feel better soon x
 
Woo hoo Yearning!

Sorry to hear about the bleeding Emz. Did you talk to anyone at your clinic?

I had a tiny bit of spotting today. Actually hoped AF was started super early so I'd be that much closer to transfer. But no.

ANyone know their clinics policy on multiples? I'm fairly sure I would be encouraged to have a reduction if I ended up with twins, but I don't know how other clinics operate.
 
mowat I think it might vary from country to country. At my clinic for my age range and because I pay privately rather than being covered by the NHS I can have 1 or 2 embies put back. If that results in a multiple pregnancy then so be it. The clinic do encourage people only to have 1 put back where it is a good grade to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy which is one of the things that the HFEA audit them on now.
 
Yearningheart, YAYYYYY!!!! So delighted for u! And it's got to be twins!!

Mowat, brilliant numbers for frosties, I've never had any good enough to freeze so it shows how good quality they must be!

Emz, I've never had bleeding after my AF from failed cycles, but this one AF lasted for 8 days which is really long for me. I'm sure it's normal. How are u bearing up? Have u had ur review yet?

Lizzie, I felt the same during down reg on buserelin, couldn't concentrate and my head was so sore the whole time.

Star, you really are a star with all your babysitting!

Jackdoll, how's things with u, are u back at work yet?
 
I'm not sure about multiples mowat, the forms ive been filling in ask that and we have to tick either 1 , 1-2 or 2 so I just ticked 1-2 and will go by what they advise, I would love twins but as long as its healthy I would love 1 too!
 
Twinkle - I've been talking to my friend who has also had a failed cycle & she had the bleeding in between which she was told was normal as it's your body trying to figure out what its doing after having everything messed up for so long.
I just wish it would stop, it's not a lot but it is bright red/pink & getting annoying now cos i just want to get on with everything & focus on the next try.
Apart from that i'm doing ok just trying to fill my weeks with things to take my mind of everything. We are still waiting for our letter from the clinic which they said could take 6 - 8 weeks & it will detail everything that happened & what we will be doing next as i only had 1 frostie i think it'll be a fresh cycle again.
How are you doing?

Mowat - We signed to say that we would be happy to have 2 put back in & if it ends up being multiples then so be it. Not sure what other clinics are like though.

How is everyone else doing?
 
Hopefully it'll stop soon Emz, your friend sounds right, ur body is probably just trying to cleanse itself and get rid of all the chemical-induced stuff. When do I think you'll be ready to cycle again? I'm thinking maybe August or September. Don't want to wait too long this time-we had a year between cycles last time, but I'll just have to wait on my tests to be done. Sorry I can't remember, was this your first or second go?

Mowat, I forgot to say earlier that I don't know when the biopsy will be, my consultant will take our decision to his weekly meeting on Thursday then the practice manager will be in touch to co-ordinate a date with the clinic in Spain that will run the test on the sample taken at my clinic here in Northern Ireland. He said they will have the samples couriered to Spain the day I have it done.
 
Okay, so the spotting was the start of AF! Never been so happy to have her come early---that's one week less to wait until transfer! Would have been nice if the clinic had warned me that this might happen.

As for the multiple thing...I think my clinic is going to transfer 2 because of my age (40). They talked about the possibility of doing a reduction if I ended up with twins because I have had recurrent miscarriages (although my first pregnancy was completely uncomplicated). Will be interesting to see where we all are in a couple of months!
 
emz - Heyyy how are you doing? Has the bleeding settled a little? I remember after my failed IVF, I had bleeding problem but and some constipation issues and tummy issues. you name it! lol
Its all the meds that confuse the body and then when its all stopped the body takes little time to get back to normal. How are you feeling though? I hope your review letter comes super quick, let us know when it does. As far as I remember my letter came like 6-8 weeks later too and then the appointment a little more later, I think the little wait is good though before moving to second round of IVF, It gives the body a little break and fit for second round. Have hope, all of this will be worth it. xx

twinkle - Oh cool, August/September time is not too long! Yaay that will be exciting, Im hoping it all works out for you :) xx

mowat - Whoo hoo 1 less week. I know the excitement, even a day early is super exciting! That would be cool to transfer 2. I think with transferring like lizzie said it does depend country to country, like as far as I know in America you can have as many transferred as you want. With my first treatment I was allowed only one because it was my first IVF and being young age but second time they allowed 2.

lizzie - Hi, hows the injections going? Nearly 1 week now! How are you feeling? Hope all is going good good.

star - Hey 1 week left before your appointment!!!!!! Yaaaay can you believe it! lol I still remember you saying you got forever left. haha
Im excited for your appointment! x

No update for me other than I feel super sleepy ALL the time! I am yawing as I am typing. Im finding it a trouble to sleep at night, I still have that annoying heart burn issue which has reduced a little Im not going to lie but I have to sleep with my body slightly up by using 100 pillows which is pretty uncomfortable!

Mowat I agree, I wonder what stage we will all be at in couple of months. One of the first thread I joined when came to baby and bump.. There were good few ladies in that specific thread who were going through IVF, or waiting for IVF etc. I was little behind them as I just started with my IVF appointments etc. Its been nearly 2 years and most of those ladies got pregnant, had babies and few are still pregnant. Its so nice because I still remember them talking about their struggles and tears and heartbreaks but now they are mums. I hope in next few months we are all at that stage. xx
