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

Couldn't see another thread so thought I'd make our new one

Hi it's a BFN for me, I've just done the test as I was desperate for a pee. I think I was secretly expecting it to work as even though it was a long shot. I feel numb

So so sorry to hear that cups. Is it your OTD? is there a chance your too early? I know you will be feeling really horrible right now, I really feel for you. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Xxxxxxx

Cups - - sorry. I've run out of words to describe the crapiness of the whole thing.

I'm so sorry cups
Take care of yourself. Did you say that you're off work this week? I hope you're getting lots of support. We're here if/when you need us. x

So sorry Cups. No words can help but hope you know we are here for you x

That is so crap and unfair, so sorry cups

Really sorry Cups. I don't know what I can say beyond that, but look after yourself and don't do anything you don't feel like doing. You've got some time off this week, right? Hope you and dh can have some time just the two of you to look after each other.

Cups so, so sorry. Huge hugs xxx

Bugs have you called your MW? I am with you rational self. I am sure it is all fine, just no good for your stress levels.

Res that is great that you are both on the same page re: adoption.

Sorry - wrong thread

Im around brooker! Busy last week tho!
Cups, I am gutted for you. I'm so sorry. Even when you feel the cycl hasn't been the best, hope is there and a bfn just shatters that. Big hugs lovely. It's f'king crap

Oh hell, Cups I am so very sorry

Thanks everyone, I feel really shit. I just don't see how it's ever going to work for us as we make crappy embryos. I can't believe we will be moving onto our 3rd fresh cycle

I don't think it's too early to be accurate as it's 12dp2dt. OTD is another 5 days away but that's because my clinic make everyone test between 16-18 days past transfer. We fly to New York tomorrow morning which is why I tested early. I don't even feel excited about going. I'm hoping that will change once we set off.

Oh cups hun. Sorry you feel so shit. It's not surprising though. It is utter crap. You deserved a bfp.
A word of encouragement tho. We have never made very good embryos either, but...DS came from ivf, he was a day 3 transfer as the others weren't looking like they'd make blasto. He had fragmentation and was not an 'excellent' embryo...but he is here. I can understand your feeling it just won't ever work, but please don't give up yet.... Hugs. I hope you can let your hair down and enjoy New York x

So so sorry cups. That's so bloody unfair. I hope getting away from things will help to distract you.

Oh Cups - I wish that I was off to NY and really hope that you enjoy it.

It's definitely worth testing again though, if you can bear it, as some are late implanters...

If you're off to Care for round 3, I hope you'll be happy. They got 43 year old me preggo twice (even if neither time lasted beyond 6 weeks).

Try not to think that there's no hope after 2 tries. If I'd had 1, 2 or all 3 of my m/cs before DD, I'd have given up when there would certainly have been hope.

Hope you and your DH do manage to enjoy New York once you're there cups and maybe after your trip you'll be able to face the idea of signing up for round three of this bloody IVF crap.

I'm just back home from my embryo transfer.

Of our six fertilized eggs, four made it to blast, three good quality and one not so good. So we froze two of the good ones and had one good one and the slightly dodgy little one put back because it wasn't good enough to freeze and I felt sorry for it and wanted it to have a chance.

I couldn't believe how fast the procedure was, I was prepared to sit with a full bladder and gritted teeth for a good twenty minutes, but it took the doctor all of three minutes to crank me open and bundle them in. I didn't even feel the catheter go in or out and didn't realise they were in there and it was all done until he pointed the little blobs out on the ultrasound. Clearly Valium is pretty good shit

Just wish they could have given me a bottle of the stuff for the 2WW...

Have also realised that OTD is going to be just before my birthday, so I am either in for the best birthday present ever, or a birthday which will involve a lot of gin and self pity.

Sorry for the Me Me Me post.

How is everyone else getting on?

Congrats on being pupo Gin. Hope the 2ww goes fast!!! How come you had Valium for ET? I like the sound of it!! Hope you get a great bday pressie xx

Congrats on PUPOness Gin, hope your slightly dodgy one comes through for you and the 2ww madness passes quickly. I would like to be put in a coma for it next time!

Girls how do you all keep up with these threads?? You guys are 10 times busier than me with your EC and ET but yet you still find time to write! Feel like I'm years behind! But just had a read through to see how u're all doing.

Cups I guess you're in the big Apple by now and I really hope you feel better - either because you did test too early and you've had a miracle or because you've just done a spot of retail therapy. But either way, I hope you're feeling better than on Monday.

Tame thanks for the info - that makes me feel much better about going to the clinic. We've got our appointment on Friday.

Sucking great idea about the 2l water jug. DH is always going on at me to drink more water (even before TTC because I used to get really bad headaches and he said it was because I was dehydrated) so I'm making a real effort to drink more now. Bit worried about the protein intake though. I might start eating chicken. Might...
So you're now officially in the 2WW?! Good stuff. Fingers crossed for both the good and the "little dodgy" one!!

Sorry if I've missed anyone's progress, my eyes are going crossed with all the posts! But good luck girls x

Rach have you thought about upping your egg and dairy intake? Or nuts and seeds? I think someone on here ages ago had a great breakfast recipe for some kind of banana or fruit frittata. Was it you tame? I just think if you've been a vegetarian for so long, only start eating meat if you really want to.

Suckin well done on being pupo and good luck on your 2ww. Yes, it's a shame we can't have valium for that too!

Rach, I agree. You can get protein from beans (I eat a lot of tins of mixed beans spiced up with rice. You could have with quinoa etc for more protein. Quorn has good protein in it too. Things like omelette and quiche, boiled eggs also full of protein. Drinking lots of milk as well.

Having said that my my dh asked what he could do after our first failed cycle and the DR said up your protein intake. He had been vegi for 25 years and started eating meat!!!! He did this because he couldn't be bothered to think about other proteins tho and there are lots out there. Wishing you loads of luck.

Oh and ....peanut butter!!!
