Entering the world of Assisted Conception...like it or not...

Lol I just bought a 3 pack of First Response so I'll test tomorrow morning. I'll be 7 days post transfer. I find I drink too much water during the day. Maybe I might hold off until 8 or 9 we will see. I was standing there at the Chemist thinking do I go the 3 pack or the 7 pack! I bought the 3 so I wasn't tempted with too much testing.

MMW that's so weird none of your frozen transfer's ever worked - just goes to show everybody is different. So are you gearing up for another fresh cycle? I can't quiet remember sorry.

We only did one fet. We had 5 frozen day 5 blasts. We transferred one, it didn't work, leaving us with 4. Appallingly, the remaining 4 didn't survive the thaw. That shouldn't have happened with the quality they were, but I digress.

We switched clinics and did two iui's. The second worked, and I'm 12 weeks pregnant. We're done after this. We only wanted two anyhow.

 

[miranda007]

Ohh MMW congrats on being 12 weeks!!!! You're nearly at the 3 month make!! That's so exciting. And I'm appalled 4 didn't survive the thaw. That really reflects badly on the clinic. I've heard of that happening on here, it's rare, some clinic only froze in batches of 2.. And they had 6 or something. And none survived the thaw. And they go charged for the storage fees too!! Or was this you? I can't remember user names and it was a while back

That was me! They charged us $900 for the thaw because "we thawed them, they just didn't survive, it happens!" We were at a big hospital doing this, too. I mean, world leaders go there for surgeries. So, it wasn't like it was some little unheard of place or something.

Anyway, it's in the past now. I had a scan last Friday, and everything was looking great, so I think we'll be okay for the long haul!

Miranda- good luck tomorrow. Fmu is best as it's very concentrated.

Hiker- how are you doing?

 

[miranda007]

MMW yeah that totally sucks but you're right there's a limit on how long u can be annoyed for!

Hiker- how are you doing?

I'm good, thanks for asking! No AF yet, but I'm trying to get myself ready for it. Today is 12DPO (IUI). Sometimes I think I get little gurgles or aches, but I totally have gotten these before during all my other cycles so I'm trying to not read into it at all.

It's been nice, since the last blood test, nothing else to think about, so I've kinda moved on and felt a bit of a breather. I know in the next few days I'll know something one way or another. Is it crazy that I am actually terrified to test? Like if it's positive, that's that, so I want to wait a bit longer anyway and be blissfully unaware? But if it's negative, then it's off to month 2 of more procedures. So, technically, I could go right now into my bathroom and probably get the answer, but I almost don't want to know yet, regardless of the result.

I had a dream a few days ago that I took a test and it immediately showed 2 super dark lines. my hubby's birthday is next Tuesday...would sure be a nice birthday gift for him!

Miranda, did you test this morning?

I hope you're able to give him a wonderful birthday present, but you don't need the added pressure. I hope you are that smallpercentage of women who beat the odds. It happens. I have everything crossed for you and I'm thinking of you! .

 

[miranda007]

Hiker.. glad to hear you're hanging in too. I didn't test this morning. I was going to but I feel the same as you. I like being blissfully unaware. I haven't had that hope that I might be pregnant for a while.. It's nice not knowing. I'm not sure if I can handle hearing that it hasn't worked. Isn't 12DPO a bit early too to show up? So I think you're at the same stage as me. I'm 7dp5dt. So technically 12 days since ovulation for me too as they put a 5 day embryo in and it's been 7 days. Official test date is Monday 8th Feb. My neighbour and my sister who were pregnant said they didn't feel any signs until she was 16 weeks and felt butterflies.

 

[MMW430]

Man, you guys have so much more patience than me. Every time I just HAD to know. I think I never wanted to wait to the test day because if it was negative, I wanted to be able to have had processed it myself already so I could speak rationally when it came time to call.

 

[Hiker1]

I keep thinking it's coming. Every time I go to the bathroom I'm dreading it, but then sigh when it's not there still. Looking back over my cycles this past year, it wouldn't be crazy for it to come tomorrow. So if it's not here by Friday morning, I'll consider myself late and test Friday morning.

 

[Smille24]

You have some will power. I would've tested already just to be prepared either way. I hope it doesn't come.

 

[miranda007]

Ok so don't get excited anyone.. PROMISE.. no really I just don't believe it's true. Ok everyone I have to confess. MMW I'm like you I have no self control and I wanted to test. I just NEEDED to know it was killing me. I think it was worse thinking I could be pregnant and didn't want a let down. And I needed time to process the information because I was convinced it didn't work. But I'm worried it's a false positive. I tested on Monday (probably too early 5dp5dt) and it was negative .. but could have been diluted as I drink heaps of water. Then I tested with first morning urine on 7dp5dt and I was like going.. yeah to myself.. yeah yeah it will be one fucking line just like always (never EVER seen two).. and I saw two lines.

Then I did the same this morning 8dp5dt. Both times were pretty strong lines. There is no denying there is a second line. Haven't told my husband or anyone! I don't want to get my poor husband excited for no reason. I was scared to confess on here! I did a natural cycle so I've only been on those peccaries (progesterone) things u insert at night time. I know people who have taken the trigger injections that gives them a false positive.. but I did a frozen cycle with no drugs. Beta blood test is on Monday. I think I'll only believe it then. I have one more test thing left. I was going to buy a 7 pack of First Response and I thought no no I'm not going to go testing that many times.

 

[Smille24]

It sounds very promising! I get what you mean, after struggling for so long it's hard to believe a miracle could happen. Can you post a picture? Getting your betas to confirm definitely helps.

Hiker- good luck tomorrow!

I wentfor my 1st ultrasound and there was a yolk sac which is perfect for being this early. I'll get to see the peanut next week and hear a heartbeat!

 

[MMW430]

Miranda, that's so exciting! I really tested an obscene amount of times. I don't even want to admit how much money I spent.

 

[miranda007]

Ok here's a pic! I can't remember which was was yesterday and which one was today! I'm not so organised I know people name them! Beta is Monday 8th Feb.

Ohhh Smile that brings a little tear to my eye to hear about your little sac on the ultrasound!

MMW me too! Just needed to know even if I was a day or two late when we were trying naturally. those days seem so far away now - not that I ever can forget because trying naturally sucked. There's just been so many months of IVF and breaks and things when we haven't been able to have sex at all. Oh boy I hope this is for real - cautiously optimistic.

 

[Smille24]

There's no picture hun

 

[miranda007]

maybe it wasn't the right dimensions.. it should attach.. ok will see

 

[MMW430]

Oh, please. That's so real!

 

[Smille24]

I agree. Those are not faint by any means. Congrats hun!
