Eggsellent Egg buddies! For those having ivf during April, May and June and any others still around :-)

Cups - ignoring the last few days, remember that my negativity was all in the head. Fx for you.

You haven't killed the thread Res. I'm in the throes of the hellish 2ww. One more week to go until I test. I feel very negative about it all. I can't see there is any chance of getting a BFP. I feel a bit broken by it all.

Thanks everyone for your support and please don't let me kill your thread as there are others out there who need it too at the moment . I truly wish you all better luck than me on this hard journey.

Still thinking of you res xxx

Res I am so so sorry. It's just awful. Thinking of you and your dh. Look after each other.

Congratulations on your BFP Thoughtful - great news. Hope all goes well for you.

resipsa - I can't imagine how much grief you are feeling right now over the loss of your baby and the loss of the future you'd been hoping for. So sorry you are hurting so much, and hope you are getting plenty of love and support.

Thanks for the welcome and good wishes Turq

I'm still feeling absolutely nothing from the drugs Cups not the faintest symptom or hint of soreness or anything. I suppose I should just be grateful really that I'm not suffering, but it would be reassuring to feel like things really are happening. Am I right in thinking you're on the 2ww at the moment? How are you getting on?

Res I am so sorry :(

Res that's terrible.

I have drawn the line under the fertility treatment without getting as far as you and must admit I still haven't really accepted that this is how it is but I hope you do find acceptance and peace soon x x x x

Res that's horrendous, I'm so so sorry xx

Oh shit Res I am so very sorry

Oh Res I am so very sorry. This whole ttc business is shit. I can't believe this has happened to you after all you have been through. Life is so unfair xxx

Oh my god res- I'm so sorry we crossed posts

I'm so terribly sorry xxxxx unfortunately I know your pain too well.

I'm so sorry x

Oh res - I am so sorry. Words are not enough. I hope that you have enough support xx

Morning everyone- I'm losing track of names because I'm a bad egg buddy and tend to skulk off when I'm feeling sad...

Sorry about your bad news Jodie I am also praying for FET to give me a better result. 2 hatching grade 1 blasts ended in a chemical for me.

Thoughtful- congrats!

Respisa- how are you?

We are in limbo land at the mo. Thrombophilia tests results are back and show shag all. Thyroid test was slightly hyper at 0.6 but can't find much info on that. I have sent off a sample for the hidden c test at serum so just waiting for results on that. And possibly looking at having immune tests in Greece. And after FET (which I am sure won't work cos my life is shit like that...) we will be looking at double donation with full immunes (empirically possibly because test results for me are always borderline or 'on the cusp of', never decisive) at serum. Not sure how I feel about serum, it sounds like fertility boot camp! I really like the clinic in Zlin but they don't do much in the way of immunes. We may have to link up an immunologist in Greece with the czk clinic....

I don't know. My brain hurts.

Thoughtful - congrats!!!

Been a bad week here. Bleed on Thurs but had scan and saw heartbeat. Another (far worse) bleed yesterday. Scan today showed empty uterus so that's it for us as can't afford any further treatment. I'm shell shocked as it's brought to an end the culmination of 2.5 years' worth of hopes and dreams of a different future.

Jodie I never had enough embies to get to blast, but I on my 4 rounds, I made grade 1 embies on two rounds. They resulted in an mc and chem preg. This current preg is the result of a fairly ropey (fragmented) slow growing embie (they didn't give me a grade but started talking about moving to donor eggs on transfer day). There is so much they don't know about embryo quality. They can only pick the best looking embryo. They have no idea which are most likely to succeed.

I remember you Thoughtful. I was gearing up for round 4 back in November. I'm so pleased to hear about your BFP.

Good luck to all those cycling. :)

Sucking that's a fab number of follies at a good size, fingers crossed that polyp doesn't get any bigger. How are you feeling? Any side effects from the drugs?

Thoughtful I remember you! Massive congratulations on the BFP, thanks for updating us. I often wonder how the missing egg buddies are doing. Was OTD yesterday?

Sucking, I hope your polyp buggers off and egg collection And transfer go smoothly. Things are certainly looking good for you. Welcome!

I can't remember you Thoughtful but I wanted to say congratulations. I'm thrilled for you and you give us hope.

Pm me anyone who wants to join the Facebook group, there are six of us now.

I don't know if any one remembers me - I was cycling in November and was devastated after a BFN then got pregnant naturally and in January discovered it was my 3rd ectopic - so had my second tube out. Well.. It is OTD of my first FET and I just got a BFP!

I know there is a long way to go and I'm absolutely terrified but Ive been lurking and wanted to say to Jodie that some times - even with good embryos (blastocysts) and no other issues - it just doesn't work. But that doesn't mean an FET won't. As far as I understand they know very little about which embryos will go on to become babies so they select the best looking at the time they go back in - which gives a good indication but isn't a certainty.

It is shit getting a BFN - I was in tears last night because I didn't want to feel as bad as I did in November so just be kind to yourself.

Hi to everyone else - res I hope you are doing ok. Sounds like it's been a tough time recently.

Thanks for the welcome stars.

Fortunately my fear that nothing is growing in there was unfounded I guess I have just read so much about women having big jangly-dangly swollen ovaries on these drugs that not having any signs of anything happening was alarming. But I've got 11 strong follicles, all currently between 11 and 15 mm, as well as a bunch of tiny ones, so that is a relief.

Unfortunately the follicles aren't the only thing growing, they also found a bloody polyp in my lower uterus and made noises about maybe not doing fresh transfers after EC if it keeps growing and instead freezing any good embryos we get and giving me a good scrape out in there hopefully the bloody thing won't get any bigger though and I will be on for EC and ET next week sometime.

How is everyone else doing today?
