I hope so Bluebell, im just desperate for my OH and I to move forward with our lives. It is exhausting being consumed by TTC.

What time do you have your appointment on Friday? I am in at 9.45am on Thursday then coming home to wait on the phone call!
 
Was just catching up on posts I had missed and will keep everything crossed for you Bluebell and Macca. We're going in on Thursday afternoon to get the results back from our fertility assessment and to see what course of action they recommend. Feels like we're only at the start of our journey!
Good luck girls, hoping for good news for you both soon.
 
Bluebell well done on calling the clinic - hope it put ur mind at ease a little and it's also good for the rest of us to hear this too as on sure we'll all be having the same worries soon enough!

Macca, did u say af was due today and no appearance this far? Has to be a good sign. I hear ya about feeling stuck. It's much easier to put up with work etc when u know you're going to be leaving at least for a few months. I really hope this is it for you and bluebell.

Mand, I think there must be some room for manoeuvre in all these treatments as its so easy to forget or cock it up. I've just been reading the instructions on how to inject and it says if you draw blood up into the syringe when u pull the plunger back u have to discard and start again. But I only have three, one for fri - sun, so if I cock it up I'm stuffed ! No pressure then.

Two more days ladies! Repeat after me.... Bfp bfp bfp bfp ...
 
Sunflower good luck with you fertility assessment!

Minno, I think in a normal cycle my period is due today but because I had ER on the 10th it's actually due tomorrow. I'm not really sure how it works. I think the pessaries actually keep it from coming though so its not a guaranteed sign I would be pregnant but a least I might not get it before my test on Thursday!

You will be fine with your injections, the only problem I had was with the first one I was that nervous I practically stabbed myself with it full force! I was bruised for days! :)
 
Macca I think you're right. The nurse told me the pessaries should stop af and I was relieved as I couldn't bear to see the witch before OTD. She also said the pessaries cause cramping and af type symptoms so u just never know! It ain't over til they tell u. That's could be bfp day and then it's on to a whole new set of worries - never ends does it! I really am hopeful for you though xxx
 
Thanks Minno, your positivity is a breathe of fresh air! I should take a leaf out of your book! X
 
Hi ladies! I'm still keeping up to date with this thread. Someone asked if pressaries hold off AF. I've done 4 IVF's and the first three I was on pressaries and no, they did not hold off AF. I never got to testing day. Last cycle with GCRM I was on clexane and predisonole (spl?) and it did hold off AF but only to testing day, 15DPO.

Keep positive ladies, you're only hurting yourself in the end! It should have hopefully worked and you're just stressing yourself out! :hugs:

Oh and yes, I've settled into my new housie now. We have great views from nearly every window in the house which we certainly never had before in old one.
 
Hi wallie nice to hear from you. That's interesting to know about the pessaries - the nurse told me the opposite! Just goes to show the variation depending on who u talk to. Do u mind me asking what af was like after treatment? I am worried if it doesn't work for us that I will have a nightmare period as mine are usually pretty awful anyway!
 
Minno, I'm sorry I meant to say it is different for others. I have read on other posts that pressaries do hold off AF, just mine never have and to be honest I couldn't believe it each time I never got to testing point.

I suppose in the end, it'll come if it's coming!

AF has never been that bad for me after a cycle, not that I recall anyway. Last time I came on, on testing day, but I had dark brown horrible spotting for about 5 days if I remember correctly before AF came on properly with full red blood. I may have had something to do with the embryos trying to stick, I just don't know :shrug:
 
Yep I agree wallie, it'll come if its coming an whether its test day or not it's none the less devastating. I have never even had a sniff of a bfp or got close to testing so this may be my one true chance to do it. I know that sounds a bit silly as its the result that's important but even getting to testing would be a landmark for me!
Are you going to be going for FET soon? By law of averages it must work this time hun!

Bluebell, macca, how are you both holding up? Sending lots of sparkly dust your way for big bfps tomorro and Friday :) xxx
 
Macca, wishing you all the best tomorrow. I'm sure it 's going to be good news:flower:
 
Hi Minno, I'm feeling a bit better today but nervous about tomorrow. I was a bit sore through the night as I was a bit bloated and crampy. The bloating has gone down today but I still feel like AF is trying to make an appearance.

I am dreading that call tomorrow but whatever the result at least it's he end of this horrible wait!

How are you doing?

Wallie, AF is due today for me so I'm hoping it stays away and I can do mt test tomorrow!!
 
Macca, best best best of luck for tomorrow! I have everything crossed for you.
Bluebell, hope you're holding up ok for Friday, not long! xx
 
Ooohhh! best of luck Macca. I've got my fingers cross for you! :happydance:

I know what you mean Minno about getting to testing date, I felt the exact same even though it was a bfn. Good luck!

As regards to trying out my FET, I'm going to keep it under wraps but it will be soon I think.
 
Wishing you all the luck in the world for tomoro Macca. I have a very good feeling for you. You made it to test day, hurrah! You go girl! X

Wallie, I think u are so brave and have kept going thru some difficult times I'm sure. Fortune favours the brave hun. You have that frostie for a reason and when you're ready that bfp is just waiting for you x

Bluebell, hope you are holding up ok. One more day sweetie and then your dreams can come true too.

God I am so excited for you both I could burst! Xxx
 
Good luck tomorrow macca, and if I don't check in tomorrow bluebell good luck in advance for Friday.
Minno I love that saying fortune favours the brave...... So so true, we are all troupers here!
 
Well I hope Macca has some good news because that's me out. AF is starting, so as Wallie says the progesterone clearly does not hold it back. Going home to have a large glass of wine as had a s**t day at work also!!
 
Bluebell I am gutted for you, I am so sorry!!!

I feel awful posting this given your news but I got the call at 4pm to say I'm pregnant. We feel relieved, blessed but anxious about the weeks ahead!

I am truly sorry Bluebell and will be thinking about you tonight!!! Xxx
