Cos - sorry about the delayed onset of your round. It's bloody infuriating is all this waiting. We are waiting right here with you. And there is no way we are giving up on you or the future cosette.
Critter - I am dreadfully sorry about the recent bleeding and possible loss once more. How many times must you be made to suffer?! I agree with the suggestions above about pushing for answers as it is reasonable to expect more positive outcomes with this many good embryos. In some ways your story is much like mine....plenty of good embryos for the freezer - but limited success (although clearly James' cycle was a success). It does suggest an extra issue as you (again like me) had already proved you can get pregnant. First things first - wishing, hoping and praying like mad that this little bean is hanging on. But if this doesn't go as we wish then I agree that you should consider injectable progesterone next time. They gave this out as part of a trial at my clinic and were excited by the increased stats in comparison to fanny candles (although I'm sure for many the candles are just fine). Next consider something structural post cs. Unfortunately ops etc. can cause adhesions and if they get somewhere tricky near the tubes or uterus they can play havoc and cause conception and early miscarriage issues. Or, yes there might be something hormonal going on post pregnancy or even a deficiency which has arisen post pregnancy. Lovely lovely critter - I don't want to overwhelm or frighten you. I just want to give you some food for thought about what could be happening which might help to solve the puzzle. Don't lose hope - not in this pregnancy, or the future. See what Monday brings, we are with you every step. Tightest hugs.
Fox - I am heartbroken to read your story of this near miss. Another chemical......sigh. But the progesterone experiment has proved to be fruitful. This looks like a key issue for you. Your eggs must be reasonable if they can implant, even for a little while. And just think of all those cycles where you didn't take progesterone. Having said all that, I totally understand that the theory of the above and the reality of what is happening month in and month out to you are two different things. It is only right that you should want to move towards the light and look at DE again. We know very well how wonderful that can be ( a la baby B). My goodness Fox you must be tired of all this heartache and trickery and let downs. I have nothing but admiration for you and your wonderful spirit. The harder the journey, the better the destination. You will be wonderfully happy again, I assure you. Holding your hand, always. xxx
Den - how are you getting on? Hope things feel a little better. Each day is one day less towards that next cycle. You two are brave and simply wonderful. Don't ever forget that.
Nelly - aw sweetheart, this is the bit where the euphoria from successful ET calms down and the fear creeps in. Total rollercoaster if ever there was one. I agree that no symptoms is totally irrelevant. Just keep yourself distracted for the next few days. Remember this is now an even playing field.
Fluffy - sorry about the awful snorting. Wishing you lots of luck this cycle.
Sam - I agree with gentle nudging in the direction of the GP / Hospital.
All the other new ladies - it's wonderful to see all these new posters, hopefully you all feel a bit better for letting off some steam and gaining some new ideas and support from our lovely fred.
Great to see the gang - sweet, Buzz, Euro et al.
I have been sobbing reading the updates from the last 3 days. I am really distraught to read the crap that some of us are going through. Universe anger - oh yes. But mostly I am just sad. It's draining and cruel and I would do anything to alleviate the pain. xxxxxx
