BeckiF going for EGG COLLECTION ... at LAST!

122 replies

BeckiF · 08/11/2006 18:14

Dear all

What a year it's been. Two tryies at Clomind which had no effect. Then our first IVF where I didn'tr espond to treatment AT ALL. This 2nd attempt I've done better and we go for an egg collection on Friday! God willing and all being well I'll have a transplant on Monday. Even if I don't I know that I DO respond to the drugs! So there is hope!

Just wanted to share my news ... I'll post more as and when I have it. I will know on Friday how many eggs they collected and they will let us know on Saturday how many have fertilised ...

YIKES!

Woken up by a blled this morning, it got worse yesterday. My unit still say to carry on just in case. Still testing Monday. Feel it's pointless, how o nearth could I support a pregnancy having lost such an amount of blood. Would love to know how hester got on and whther she had a heavy bleed or just light.

Yes I do remember her and I'm delighted to hear that she came through. It's hard to not be negative when there is so much blood and such bad cramps. But there's a tiny spark in me that burns ever hopeful.

Had a terrible night with the most awful cramps and bleeding, A lot of blood but it doesn't go into a pad but is there A LOT when I wipe, combined with a clear mucus and some clots.

Spoke to our unit first thing and they have said to continue with the pessaries and test on Monday. They have said there are people that have bled throughout and still got a positive. I can't see how, I feel just rotten and in such pain with these cramps.

LadyTophamHatt · 22/11/2006 14:51

Oh no Becki, I've been following your thread and I'm gutted to read that.

Fingers crossed it's not your AF.

Today having woken up in a more positive mood I was devestated to start bleeding. The IVF unit tell us to stay positive and to wait and see if it turns into a period proper. But I think that's it

I've a clearblue digital to take Monday ... I daren't test before then though, i've got cold feet now. Until I see a negative I've got hope, despite the way my body is reacting, i.e boobs not so big and less veiny and less sore.

Forget morning sickness i think I've caught man flu from DH. Sorry to hear your feeling down Beckif, fingers crossed it is implantation spotting and the headache is down to stress

munz · 22/11/2006 09:38

still hopefully for you becs, only a few more days - are you able to use early tests or do you have to wait the full 2 weeks?

Well today we made love for the first time in ages! I'd checked the hospital handbook first and was good to go! However, since then I have had some brown spotting. Not sure if this is just a flush out of trauma I may have received at the EC, OR could it be the longed for implantation spotting? Worst of all it could be the start of my period. Ther is nothing more to do than wait, wait and wait some more yet again to see what happens. Oh and I've had a headache from hell for two days ... not having such a jolly time at all

Days! try hours/seconds I blame the hormone tablets. Today when I woke up I decided on this, whether I think positive or negative the end result is going to be the same and if its a BFN I'll feel like crap so I might as well think positive and try to enjoy the next week. Unfortunately an hour later I started to feel sick I'm trying to convince myself its morning sickness come early though its more likely todo with the dodgy buffet from the weekend. Hang on in there Beckif. Does anyone out there know how early morning sickness can start

Sleepless - do you or did you have days when you were convinced it hadn't worked? This week I seem certain it hasn't. I'm hoping it's a hormonal thing. I cna't imagine how we're going to feel if it hasn't worked. Yet DP says he's still fully confident and my Reiki practioner says she is full of good vibes for me too. Seems everyones smiling except me.

hope this works out for you, becki. drop your shoulders and try to relax...

sleeplessinhants · 20/11/2006 21:35

BeckIf, Your not stupid just understandably impatient. Only yesterday I was also tinkering with the idea of doing a test myself, then I remembered when I did a test last time 2 days early only to get a negative result conviced myself it hadn't worked when in fact it proved positive on the day. Keeping everything crossed for you

BeckiF · 20/11/2006 18:22

Yes I KNOW I was stupid doing it! At least I know that a positive will BE a positive and not left over from the shot ...

And yes, another day almost gone ... just 7 more sleeps until I can test.

Oh Becki you poor thing. I really understand how hideous it is. FWIW I was absolutely and utterly convinced that it hadn't worked as I had awful AF pains two days before due date and they were exactly the same as the pains I have with period (and having tried for 2 years I knew them well). But it obviously wasn't AF pains in my case so you just don't know. I did a test 4 days before my due date (I just couldn't help myself) and it was really faint positive but then I tortured myself with the fact that it could have been a left over from the HCG injection.

Oh well, another day has gone, not too long for you now.

BudaBeast · 20/11/2006 17:27

Why????????????????????

No more tests! Think positive thoughts. Relax (!)
