Hi all. As promised, a sparkling new thread that is going to see a lot of action in the next few weeks, I hope!

A first response early response (6 days early one) would show something at 9dp3dt wouldn't it? I stopped the progesterone two days ago then worried I'd stopped too soon!

Good luck bugs x x

Yes, Friday.
I feel pretty sure a sensitive hpt would pick it up by now.

starsandmoonandback · 12/02/2014 09:20

I would think a FRER test would pick up by 12dpo One, but, there are some people on google who haven't had a line then and gone on to get one! If you haven't started af yet and stopped progesterone 2 days ago, that may also be a good sign!

Actually I haven't checked today because I dont have a test but yesterday was negative.

Not in any way expecting a bfp at all but then suddenly worried I'd stopped the progesterone too soon! The progesterone makes me feel crap. I feel better without it!

How you getting on bugs? X

cwtching · 12/02/2014 09:47

Hmm 10dp3dt and no symptoms.

One according to the chart I posted a few days ago, there is enough HCG to detect a pregnancy on 11dp3dt so maybe it's still too early if you are 9dp3dt.

Good luck Bugs thinking of you!

Wish sending hugs. I hope the appointment goes okay.

starsandmoonandback · 12/02/2014 10:21

Bugs, are you ok?

Cwatch,remember although we want symptoms, they mean nothing! X

resipsa · 12/02/2014 10:34

Bugs - an hour and a half to go...
One - I was a week behind the test (ie it was saying 2-3 when I was 3+) with DD so I think HTPs are unreliable for some in the early days. You might just have to wait and see. Such easy words to type, so awful to live through the wait.
Wish - hope you get the go ahead.
Cwt - you know the drill - some symptoms means nothing and no symptoms means nothing at this satge. When's OTD?

Onelittlebugbear · 12/02/2014 10:56

I'm reconciled to that fact it hasn't worked.
It would be Sod's law though if I stopped taking the progesterone and then I was pregnant and had ruined everything by being a moron!

Will see what the clinic say on Friday as to where we went wrong this time and what we could do differently next time. I think for sure a higher dose of stim.

Also if William and Kate announce a second baby that may also tip me over the edge. I'm not sure quite why! At the moment I'm getting annoyed with that woman from shameless 'pregnant at 50'. Sod off!

resipsa · 12/02/2014 11:29

I'm still hacked off by Silverton who has, logical, of course, if you're mid-IVF, 'stolen' my baby by announcing her second 'miracle' pregnancy at 43! She's even older than me FFS!

I think I'm safe from a SIL announcement for a while, went for dinner at theirs last night and she was poured an enormous glass of wine by my bro. Feel like at least we have this chance, then if this cycle doesn't work it's every man for themselves and I will have to gird myself for news.

First stimjection last night, what a bloody palaver! I have to swap needle tips over and I kept bending the thin one when i tried to pull the cover off it. then stabbed my finger and proceeded to bleed all over my dad's birthday present as I wrapped it... (Luckily the paper was red polka dots...). Took about 15 minutes to get it all done. Nearly forgot I still had to do buserelin as well.

bugs hope you have not melted into a puddle of stress and nerves yet. Only an hour to go xxx

cwtching · 12/02/2014 12:16

Rep OTD (hcg) is Saturday which will be 13dp3dt. DH keeps asking me if I have any symptoms but I feel fine! Am trying to harness inner calm (ommm!!) and not think about it but its so hard!!! My AF is due tomorrow but I have heard that the progesterone can delay it, is that true does anyone know? I'm on a fairly high dose of 1200mg cyclogest (3 pessaries) a day. .

Moggle sorry it was all a bit of a palaver yesterday but great to have started stimming!

bugs!!!!!! You did it!!! Fantastic news!!!

starsandmoonandback · 12/02/2014 12:28

Res, urgh. I'm bitter as anything lately and this silverton story is annoying! The article says both conceived naturally after 4 cycles of ivf! And the doctor puts it down to 'positive attitude' - Fuc£ right off! We'd all be pregnant at the beginning of this was true. I cannot stand how many people say 'just relax' 'reduce your stress' arghhhh!!! Do they think we started out negative or stressed. No we bloody didn't. We can be negative and stressed now after months, years if trying and losses. Gahhhhhhh! Angry

Bugs. That is fab. How many dpo are you today?

Just goes to show eh Bugs Smile so happy for you lovely. Will you have another in 2 days to make sure sll is heading in the right direction?

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/02/2014 12:42

Congrats bugs! That's another nice bfp. Let's hope its catching!

resipsa · 12/02/2014 12:46

Grin Bugs! 200+ would get you a 2-3 weeks on a CB digi! Ya see, you can never tell (note One, Cwt and MP).

OP posts:
resipsa · 12/02/2014 12:47

By the way, that was not an invitation to waste money, more just a hint that if yours read 1-2 a few days ago, things are indeed going the right way!

OP posts:
WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/02/2014 12:47

I'm all over the place today. Had a night sweat last night which is never a good sign for me as I normally get them just before af its about to rock up. Bit surprised that it has started so early. Am hoping that it is just the proluton jab but who knows. And on top of all that DS its sick with a tummy bug & ear infection. DH has been brilliant looking after him but has to go away with work so i'm going to have to do all the lugging about for a bit. Am going to try & hold out until Monday before poas.

cwtching · 12/02/2014 12:50

Hooray Buggs!!! Such brilliant news! Sending a congratulatory hug!

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/02/2014 12:56

Not sure how you can be 1-2 Weeks pregnant as it would mean you had taken the test on the day you ovulated. Or have I missed something?

BrookerC · 12/02/2014 12:56

De-lurking to send a big whoop, whoop! to bugs
