Oh no! Bad news for both of you. Lorna, that's CRAZY. I hope Monday brings better things for you. maybe do the deed some over the weekend, just in case? Will be thinking of you.

Dovkav, so sorry for bfn. I hope it is too early. You had a very healthy emby, so it may still be settling in!

Hi, and welcome Katie. You've come to a good place, although I'm sorry ttc hasn't worked for you yet. It's terrible that so many women have no insurance for the tx. Have you looked into the Attain program?

Hugs to all.....

Spoiler

Just wanted to update you that after my lap and dye in august my first clear cycle afterwards I O'd 3 days earlier than usual (nearly missed it on CD10) i got my BFP on Monday this week - my first ever. Au natural too - still sinking in!

12 years it has taken me but always have hope ladies no matter how difficult the journey to get there, what ever route it takes to get to the end result xx

Shell-

Spoiler

That's AMAZING news!!!!! Will be sending you the stickiest thoughts ever!!!! Am absolutely thrilled for you!

I wonder if you would be willing to edit your post to put your news into spoilers? It comes right as two of our regular posters are dealing with incredibly stressful, potentially devastating situations. I don't speak for them, of course, but I know it can sometimes be hard to see others' good news, and in their shoes I would really need the support of this thread. Up to you.

But again, CONGRATULATIONS!

(Hope that wasn't officious or rude. I worry.)

Lorna - Big Hugs Darling that is so frustrating


Dovkav - DONT TEST! Wait it out, that is the best thing you can do for yourself.


Xxshell - OMG, FX the little bean sticks, so very happy for you and wish you the best.
Congratulations over and over again.

Pbl: Honestly I think the post is fine, I appreciate the spoiler on the bottom in the signature, there is no flashing BFP which kills me when I see them, it is very toned down to what she is probably feeling to make sure she doesnt offend anyone so I think she has edited her announcemet enough.

THIS WEEK SUCKS!!! I cant wait for it to be over, work is killing me today.

I am making my first acupuncture appointment but the next appointment isnt for another month - waiting is very fun and is not my strong suit

So I mentioned I bought a Fertility Yoga DVD - Which I thought would be specific for women trying to conceive .... It is not. Bend, Breath, Conceive is really just a yoga video. One that is not really for beginners, more for moderate yoga people and does not focus on things specifically for fertility. Dont get me wrong the video is nice, relaxing but not what i expected. Oh well back to my fertility books

Congrats shell! I hope your little bean sticks. Wishing you a h&h 9 months.

Lorna, I'm so sorry. That's so frustrating they couldn't find any follicles. I keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you. Don't give up yet, maybe they weren't quite ready to be collected. Big hugs to you!

Dovkav, so sorry about the bfn. I hope it was to early and your little bean just needs some more time to implant.

Welcome Katie, this is a nice group of Ladies who can relate to what you are going through. I'm sorry we are meeting here, but it is definitely a good place to be when you are struggling to conceive.

Shells, congrats on your bfp after 12 years lttc.

Myshel, I feel the same, work is killing me too. Too much ot. I need a break.

Pblge, not long now and you are onto the next step.

Wishing all a good weekend.

 

[MrsImpatient]

I love this group. Thank you for the warm welcome. I am so thankful y'all have shared your stories and allowed me to join in. I hope I can contribute in a positive way and everyone's baby dreams come true.

Lorna and Dovkav. Good Luck for today!

So it is Tuesday here today and the end of this IVF journey. The scan yesterday showed that I had already ovulated and that the FS on Friday possibly should have carried on as it is common not to retrieve eggs from all your follicles. He was not my official FS and when I seen my official FS yesterday I dont think she was very happy about it all. As for my DH he couldnt even look at them and was so angry and upset. I just sat there in shock. I have cried a few times over the past 24 hrs and now I am just so angry. I have low AMH so they have just wasted my eggs. The only positive is they are going to start back on another round as soon as AF arrives. Also, on Sat morn with the advice of the nurses as I was told it is unlikely I would ovulate over the weekend (ha ha) we BD'd. I have just informed the Fert Clinic about this and they said oh shit!! I am waiting for the FS to call me back about what that may mean?!? I am suffering some bad cramps and pains as a result of 12 follicles bursting but I am determined to get my BFP before Xmas

 

[pipilotta]

Oh no, I'm so sorry Lorna.
It is such a horrible journey sometimes, I so had hoped you would get lucky. You have all right to be angry.
Don't give up, maybe your weekend bd is successful.
Sending you hugs!

Thanks Pipi I am hoping it may still be a BFP as long as I am not the new octomum How are you?

 

[cntrygrl]

Hello Ladies Thanks to a fellow LTTTC #1 I have been shown this group. My name is Dani DH and I have been TTC for 2 years in November. We've been through all the tests and everything comes back normal or better. We had a MC in April it was our first BFP since then we tried 3 IUI's along with clomid, and HCG shot. We got nothing. Currently right now we are trying naturally since I couldn't stand myself on the meds. We are being referred to a fertility specialist and should have an appointment in the next couple of months. Hopefully they'll be able to figure it out.

 

[Tiamad]

Hi,
I am new here. We have been trying for 7 years for our baby but only really "trying" for the past 2 years or so. It has been so depressing. I see all these crackheads and teenagers just popping them out like candy and it drives me crazy. I found B&B because I feel odd this month and hope that this is it, but am terrified to get my hopes up again.

 

[pipilotta]

Thanks Pipi I am hoping it may still be a BFP as long as I am not the new octomum How are you?

Octomum, lol, yeah nah. haha. That would be a bit much to take in indeed.

I'm ok, work is better this week, but another two weeks of ot starting next week. I feel tired, can't wait for summer and our appointment at the clinic to discuss our first cycle. The doctor said it's some time before Christmas. It looks like it's simply not happening naturally.

Welcome Dani, I'm sorry about your Mc, I hope your appointment at the specialist will shed some light on your situation.

Also welcome Tiamad!

 

[pbl_ge]

Lorna- I posted in your journal. Still hoping for you!

Pippi - Sorry you haven't had your pre-IVF miracle. There's still time! Regardless, not long to wait now.

Welcome to the new ladies! Sorry your TTC journeys have not gone well so far.

Still on BCP here. They make me cranky. And I hear that's only going to get worse with Lupron!

to all...

 

[flou]

Lorna im hoping you get a bfp, but im sorry the ivf didn't go to plan.

Pipi there's still time to get a natural bfp. Fxd!

Hello to the newbies and i hope you get bfps soon!

My body is gearing up to O. I hope i catch the egg this month. Got an appt booked with the gp near the end of october to get referred to a fertility specialist. It took us 19 months to get our first bfp but we had been referred. The appt came through just after my mc and we were told at the appt with the specialist to wait another year. Its coming up for a year now and we have been ttc number 1 for nearly two and a half years and im desperate for some answers and help!

 

[Myshelsong]

Hello all new ladies.
Sorry to see you here but hopefully you will find us helpful in this journey.
Seeing people we dont feel deserve children is very hard to deal with. Lately even seeing people that do deserve them makes me want to strangle someone.

Lorna - Hopefully you catch an egg! I know the idea of multiples is scary, but catching one sounds fantastic!

Work is slowly getting better, but hubby is recovering slowly from eye surgery so right now I am in charge of everything including driving shopping cleaning etc. Not much fun.

Pbl - Only a week and you are off BCP right? that is exciting.

 

[dovkav123]

Sorry girls I kept you waiting.
I got BFN on my blood test. Only today I could think what we could do next. It takes 2 weeks to see my RE and talk about failed IVF. I am willing to do mini IVF little stimulation, retrieve 3 eggs. But my hubby doesn't like that idea. He wants me to repeat natural IVF again. He is choosing slower but healthier way of treatment.
2 things could be the reason of our BFN:
My hubby had a low motility, so they did ICSI.
My ET went really bad. My hubby saw how dr. forced that embryo in, he is doubt if an embryo really got in where it suppose....The first try dr. went in smothly, but without an embryo.

Lorna, I am so sorry what happened...we both burned badly on our IVF, but that won't stop us a bit! I'll go forward even faster, because I was so close to the victory.

How is everybody else doing?
