I think you're right, sometimes these medical professionals forget how confusing, scary and emotional this ride can be - or they see it so much they have to detach a bit. But it is really hard and not fair when you are on the receiving end.
Hoping those two little embies are nestling in and growing stronger each day! When is your beta test?
Beta is next Thurs 7/26
Congrats NewbieMum! That is great!
So, I'm on for ET tomorrow morning. Eeek! I'm nervous! And excited! And nervous!!
She said I had three that are already meeting the criteria they have to go ahead with a day 3. I have no idea what that means and if that is a good thing or not. Still praying I have some left to freeze!!!
I am so glad you asked me this... I have been struggling with it. I see that a lot of ladies are doing it the day before of morning of Beta. I can see the benefits both ways, if we decide to do hpt then we are in control and not just at the mercy of THE PHONE CALL but we have to keep in mind that we could get a false reading that could send us in a tailspin too. I'm leaning towards doing it the morning of my Beta next Thursday but knowing that if I get a negative it may not be accurate but could prepare me a little more. Then if I do see a faint line or positive that it could also mean that I'm not really pregnant. Obviously from my babbling I'm still trying to figure it out. I don't think anything will make the phone call any easier but I guess it does take back some of the control even if just a little. Tell me your thoughts... what are you going to do? I'm also debating whether to do it without dragging my dh into the emotions, I think he would be against the hpt since it may not be accurate...
My plan is to test the day before & after the bloodtest to see if the line gets lighter or darker. Easier said because I'm weeks away from testing.
I went for my first scan today (CD7) and it looks like I have a few follicles around 6mm and a lot more that are smaller than that. I have PCOS so I'm on short protocol (cetrorelix and menopur). They upped my dosage of menopur to 187.5 IIU so the follies can grow grow grow, and I'm back for a scan on Friday. They reckon that ET will be towards the end of next week, but I'm really nervous as I've just started a new job 2 months ago and have a very important meeting next Thur so feeling a little bit stressed about the whole thing even though I'm trying to stay positive.....eek.
