Dang it! She was faster than me.

Kristy definately don't get disheartened because we got ours early, I've known people on here get a bfn the day before their beta then get a positive beta
Like I said up there ^^ we had 2 blasts transferred so they will always implant before a 2 day so you should expect to get a bfp later then someone with a 3,4 or 5 day
I hope this made sense

icklefish - Dont do it lol. I can now say it is not a good idea...

I just had a horrible feeling that this may not of worked and it's down to that bloody test I bet.

I have a 3rd try on NHS, but don't know if I could do it again. It is such an emotional time. Can't plan this, can't plan that, all just in case I think I may ask for more tests as to why it may not work should this fail for me a 2nd time.

Yesterday, I was convinced it had worked so I am hoping today is just a bad day

Kristy, think positive , you won't need the third try, this one WILL work

My advice for the TWW will be in the form of what I wish I would have done and didn't. I was bored while on bed rest so I was online a lot. I looked up anything and everything ivf related out of boredom. I wish I would have read more books because it takes a lot for me to focus while reading so it would have forced me to think about something other than ivf. My plan for the evenings this week is to read.

Excellent idea, I will download a load of books to the kindle (non fertility related

Thanks for the kick up the butt girls. Should get me through another day at least haha.

I have acupuncture and a job interview tomorrow so bit of a busy day. So hopefully wont think about it again until Wednesday Maybe

Hope you all have a lovely evening. I am going for a cool bath and a chill xx

Kristy - step away from the HPT ... it is WAY to early for anything to show up yet. You must stay positive and believe that this worked - your embie picture is is gorgeous. Just believe in it and think only happy positive baby thoughts!

ickle - welcome! Hopefully the Reiki helps! Any positive vibes sure can't hurt!!!

Thanks for the welcome springy! When you start down reg? I loved it, the buserelin really agreed with me, I felt great with it.

Icklefish I wouldnt worry about the 2ww dragging, I think it does for everyone, I was the type of person that said come otd I still wouldn't wanna test but by 3dp5dt I had become a poas addict

Hi Sarah - So first off, my clinic has everyone take it for three months, I however have a clotting disorder so I will it take it the rest of my life (I was actually reduced from 325mg to 81mg a day just for IVF then I go back up).
Secondly, I have told no one at work either, my advice would get FMLA paperwork from your HR person and have your doctor fill them out for intermittent leave. This is the only way to truley protect your job.


Hoping- your numbrs sound great! Are you triggering tonight? I hear you about the bloated stomach!! As far as retrievel, my MD says to take the day of and day after off.


Springy- I was thinking the same thing about the iPod, I am going to listen to some of my fav mellow music and also I am going to try and bring an eyepatch this time and make myself close my eyes and stop looking around.

BTW - Does everyone have electricity hooked up to their needles...it just seemed weird to add something so modern to such an ancient practice...


icklefish - Welcome, good luck on your 2ww, I am not looking forward to it.


Kristy - Ok so you poas, now just try to put that out of your head because it wa way to early. I understand I am impatient too, you just have to keep the faith, lol. BTW, your embie looked perfect, I'm sure it is starting to snuggle in now. Good luck with your job interview!



So I got scanned yesterday and my follies starting responding. Lead ones on the right are around 12 and 9 on the left, estrogen in the 500's. I am hoping the left side decides to catch up already. Adding the Ganirelix tonight. I switched somethings around and I just have to get through work these evening, and the during the day Wednesday and I am off for six days. I go back for two after that but hopefully then I can do a 5dt the next day and I will have officially missed no work. Oh, I had switched shifts with someone yesterday so I didn't even miss Sunday either.

I am so glad I finally responded, but I have to admit my belly is getting more uncomfortable by the hour! Ha, not too much longer now.

Thanks babydrms, I didn't respond for a whole 7 days when I started stimming, it was only on day 9 (after they increased my meds) that my follies decided to come out and play and showed on the scan.

Hi ladies! I went for third blood work and scan this am. RE says lining is nice and fluffy, numbers are 18's, 19's looking good. I was told to take repronex 300iu tonight, 300iu tomor am, trigger late night Tues at 1am.....and...ER is Thurs at 12:30pm....I am sooo excited yet nervous.

 

[aem118]

So I went in for blood work to check estrogen and progesterone. I am 6dp5dt and my levels arerogesterone 15 and estrogen 248.. What do you ladies think about these numbers?! I have no idea..

I had testing done at 5 days post transfer and they weren't far off. Estrogen was 300 something and progesterone was 50 something. I also have no idea what that means. Dr said things were ok and to stick with the same dose of the progesterone shots and the estrogen pills so guessing it was ok.

Did your dr say to continue as you are? If so gotta trust them

Yeah for having ER scheduled!!! The retrieval itself really wasn't bad for me. The worst part was the IV. Once that was in it was smooth sailing. I felt no pain. Some cramping after but nothing tylenol couldn't take care of.

I have no clue what the numbers mean just yet, but hope you get that soon!!

I do not go for my blood test until Feb 7th I still not have done one at home, do not want to see a negative

I might this weekend though

Hope everyone is doing well with their injections, blood work, 2WW, and just trying to remain sane

Good luck with ER Hoping!!

Soooo, my lead follies are around 15mm and growing (ovaries are measuring 5-6 cm each which explains why I am feeling so uncomfortable)...and my Estrogen in over 1200, so things ae moving right along. Holy cow does the Ganirelix leave a good welt!! Still having Gonal F 300 and Menopur 150. I decided to take tomorrow off of work and then I am off for seven days - which should get me through the retrieval and recovery.

How is everyone else - anymore BFP's?

 

[princess_1991]

girls

Babydrms good luck for egg collection!
