can't help with your meds q beaky but I would be surprised if a few hours made a difference

IamKuma · 17/05/2015 22:51

Tiger I'm so sorry you're going through this. X

Beaky I'd imagine it's fine as it will earlier than today, I'd be more concerned if you were taking it much later.

Happy, sorry it was a bfn Hmm

tigerdog · 18/05/2015 05:22

Bleeding this morning so officially game over. I think this has probably happened before but I've not tested early enough to catch it.

Hope everyone is ok this rainy Monday morning.

barkingtreefrog · 18/05/2015 06:27

I'm so, so sorry tiger, it's so cruel [. Thanks

HampshireBlues · 18/05/2015 06:46

I'm so sorry Tiger sending hugs your way

Gillster · 18/05/2015 06:50

Gutted for you Tiger and Mr T. To have this snatched away from you is so unbelievably cruel. Look after yourselves. X

nolly3 · 18/05/2015 06:56

so sorry tiger. give yourself time to grieve Flowers

lucieloos · 18/05/2015 07:22

So sorry tiger Hmm

happylass · 18/05/2015 07:30

Oh no Tiger. It's hard enough when the IVF just doesn't work but to get a BFP then have it taken away is the cruellest of the cruel. My heart goes out to you and Mr Tiger. Look after yourselves Flowers

Tiger I'm so sorry. I'm so gutted for you. Flowers

sparechange · 18/05/2015 10:33

Tiger I'm so, so sorry. Life is just too unfair Flowers

FortySixandTwo · 18/05/2015 10:38

Beaky Thanks I have a call into the clinic they will call me back this morning to discuss. I hope the scan goes well for you today.

Hi Happy Thank you for the welcome, Feeling very comfortable here everyone is lovely, Hope you had an enjoyable day with your mum on Saturday. ? Sorry about the BFN.Flowers

Hampshire sorry you're having a tough time in the TWW. I hope today is a little better for you.

Tiger I'm so sorry :( I don't have much more to offer other than a hand to hold if it helps, again I'm sorry.

I hope I haven't missed anything else I didn't get the chance to check the thread after Saturday morning and its moved quite quickly. Thinking of you all today.

RevoltingPeasant · 18/05/2015 13:54

tiger I'm so very sorry. Cruel and unfair.

Erm listen, I really hope this isn't massively tactless, but.... I am having a clear out and have an absolute friggin shedload of OPK left from when I was trying to puzzle out my own screwed OV patterns. Also one IC pg test and some beakers and syringes from turkey bastering assisted conception.

If anyone would like any or all of these pls pm me....free to a loving home, but otherwise for the bin!

As you were.

sparechange · 18/05/2015 14:12

I've just had the call from the clinic. Both embies survived the thaw, and we are going in at midday for the transfer...

happylass · 18/05/2015 14:16

Spare I totally missed that you were up for FET again. Great news on the thaw. Midday tomorrow??

OP posts:
sparechange · 18/05/2015 14:21

Happy Yup, tomorrow!
We had 4 frosties left, and they normally defrost 3 or more to chose the best one for the FET, but we asked them to just defrost 2 this time, so we have one more shot at an FET before giving up having to do the stims again. But because my brother is getting married on the other side of the world next year, this is our last chance for 6 months - I don't mind going to the wedding with a little baby and I don't mind going up to 5 months preg, but not in between so if this doesn't work, we've got 6 months until we can try again, so I reeeeally want it to work. Not that I haven't for any other cycle, obviously.

Thanks for all the love. I would be utterly alone without you all Flowers

Come on spares embies!

How did you get on with your clinic call forty?

hb am cheering you on. Hope you're hanging in there! When is OTD?

beaky how was your scan today?

I feel rubbish. Headache, stomachache backache, heartache. I sat at my desk all day on the edge of tears doing barely any work. This week is going to be a struggle.

beakybeak · 18/05/2015 21:36

Aww tiger I am so gutted for you. Sending a massive hug. Will you get a follow up?

Spare great news, good luck for tomorrow! I'll get my PUPO shimmy on for you.

Happy did you come across anything interesting that you think may help?

Forty did the clinic ring you back?

We had the scan this afternoon, there's only one follicle unfortunately. I'm to continue on stabbing and scan again Friday. I am really really worried this will be it and have been in floods. I was so stressed all day (since yesterday really). Berries if you can please send some good follicle vibes my way I'd really really appreciate it. Sad

tigerdog · 18/05/2015 21:45

Aw beaky sweetheart lots of love right back at you. Come on folicles....quality not quantity though! Will be sending all the good vibes your way!

nolly3 · 18/05/2015 21:55

tiger can you take some time off? I didn't and I really wish I had - to grieve and recover mentally. sometimes it's ok to put yourself first x

beaky vibes coming your way Smile don't stress, loads of time yet. remember how drastically other people's results have changed. big hug x
