thank you ladies for posting your success stories. It really helps those who are hoping to start or starting this "bumpy" ride. I am new to the world of ivf forums and there are so many of them...its mind boggling. So glad I found this one with positive stories and it gives me a reason to hope everything's going to be alright.

Congrats to all the BFPs on here. This thread has been really helpful to me as I go for egg retrieval tomorrow. These stories give me hope and have put my mind some what at ease. I hope that I am able to post my success story here by the end of the month. Thanks again ladies for sharing.

[sweetcurly79]

Ladies,
I could not resist and POAS...today it is 7dp5dt and it is positive. I tried first using internet cheapies and got consistently faint lines. So, I convinced myself those were evaporation lines. But then ,i went ahead and bought FRER and in less than a minute there was a qite visible line! Sounds like a BFP, bt I am terrified by the idea that it could be the trigger shot. Although, today it would be 14 dpt.

Heeelp meeeeeeeee

 

[navywife04]

awww, yay! Congrats! The trigger would be long gone out of your system by now. But if you still don't believe it, take another cheapie test tomorrow and see if the line gets darker!

 

[mrsmax]

navywife - they DROPPED 3 ON THE FLOOR!!!!????????????????? Wow, that was a bad day in the office for some embroyologist! I am so pleased it didnt stop you gettiing a BFP!

 

[Maddie30]

Sweetcurly sounds like a bfp to me, congratulations xxxx

Navy wife.......congratulations. I'm still in shock they dropped 3 on the floor. Wow xx

Congratulations to all the new bfp and ladies with beautiful miracles. This post has really helped me and I will post after dating scan xxx

Yes, it was the worst feeling in the entire world. At the time I was very upset that it happened, but their policy(military facility) was very strict about only putting one embryo back in. But they definitely owed us a lot after that incident, so we were able to put back 2. And now that were pregnant with twins, it feels like fate.

Just goes to show some of the worst things can end up as blessings in the end!
