Aw Pip afternoon wee plus out of date test definitely doesn't count. Also would anything show up on a pg test at 8 days post transfer? Hope you're doing ok and you're being well looked after. You've been in my thoughts all day Flowers

Pipbin · 30/01/2014 15:09

Well I POAS and it was BFN, but it was an out of date test and an afternoon wee.

RevoltingPeasant · 30/01/2014 14:34

Pip, hang on in there. It is far fro over yet Flowers

BlueBirdy · 30/01/2014 13:26

oh no Pip - sorry, didn't read the last page of messages when I posted (doh). Really hope it is just implantation bleeding (i think it is around the right time for that). Sending positive vibes your way x

BlueBirdy · 30/01/2014 13:15

Boodle I won't be starting for a while too. Should get my planning appt next month but we have a 5 week holiday coming up which will push it back by up to 3 months.

12 DPO here and this month the 'symptom' messing with my mind is higher than usual temps. Ok it was really just one day with a high reading, but still, that day I was pretty much planning the birth announcement Hmm

I read somewhere that olive oil and avo's increased the success rate of IVF, so tucking into a salad with avo, stilton and gnocci with olive oil sprinkled over the top and I can highly recommend - it is soo yummy!

pip I sincerely hope it is not AF. The month I got my bfp I had stop/start brown blood around the time AF was due. Mostly just spotting and one reasonable sized 'dollop' (sorry, can't think of a nicer word!), so don't think game over just yet.
Thinking of you

naty1 · 30/01/2014 11:50

Nope, just popping in

tigerdog · 30/01/2014 11:38

Sending positive vibes pip x

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/01/2014 11:37

Naty are you a name change that went over my head??

FeatherFeather11 · 30/01/2014 11:28

pip sending you all the love and good vibes in the world right now xxx

Pipbin · 30/01/2014 11:08

I'm sat in the front room now watching This Morning and writing my reports.
I might order some on Amazon, I've got Prime so they'll be here by tomorrow.
I have just been to the loo and it seems to have stopped, but I'm sure it will come back.

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/01/2014 10:48

I used out of date ones before and they worked. Could OH bring one or do you feel up to a wander to the shop? Are you near any other berries (I would bring tests and chocs and moral support)? Wish there was something I could do x
Alternatively if you want to stay in bed and pretend this isn't happening I think that's a perfectly acceptable plan too

Pipbin · 30/01/2014 10:44

OH is at work, but will be home at lunch time, ad then by 4pm.
I could test but the only HPTs I have are out of date as I bought them at the beginning of TTCing which was a long time ago.
I'm on crinone or something like that.

naty1 · 30/01/2014 10:39

Pip are you still on the progesterone?

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/01/2014 10:25

Worth doing a test to stop you wondering? Or is that a terrible idea? Where's your OH?

Pipbin · 30/01/2014 10:20

Its dry brown blood but I can just feel that its AF and its game over.

Boomgoestheweasel · 30/01/2014 09:34

Just popping in with a couple of spare hands for holding pip. Keeping everything crossed for you xxx

Pip I saw your msg on the other thread. Not sure if it helps but my EPU wouldn't see people with brown blood as they classed it as 'normal' in early pregnancy. Is this how AF normally starts for you? I had brown gunk for about a week around my bfp. Everything crossed for you that this is implantation and not bad news x

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/01/2014 08:05

Oh Pip I was just thinking of you this morning. Red blood? A lot? Sending you strength

Pipbin · 30/01/2014 07:50

I'm bleeding ladies.
It's only 8 days after the transfer.

FeatherFeather11 · 30/01/2014 07:39

hb that's totally outrageous! 35!! Agree with Kitty - is it at all possible to move? Maybe you could rent your place out for a while and rent somewhere within a different catchment area?? Just appalling! 35!

BlindKitty · 30/01/2014 06:17

hb that's ridiculous! Would moving to another area be feasible?

Blue - my IVF start has been put back a bit as I have to have an operation first. A bit pissed off to have to do yet more waiting, but I suppose it's for the best! Still, so many people on board the IVF train here, I feel a bit like I'm being left on the platform, waving sadly as they steam off into the distance!!!
