@Letsdothis43 thank you for asking - I’m doing ok - feeling truly crap most of the time but trying to woman up and get on with it lol. Nervously awaiting 9 week scan next week at which point my IVF clinic will discharge me if all is well.

Sorry to hear you’re in a dilemma about starting your treatment - if you do start it now is Christmas likely to be a problem for embryo transfer, etc? Some clinics shut down ove Xmas so won’t start cycles that are likely to involve any procedures over the Xmas period.

Good luck with it whatever you decide to do xxx

Russkispy · 16/11/2018 14:50

did a test this morning and could see a very very faint line. Hardly visible. Run to London to get blood tests done so I don't second guess it. Sadly it's Negative. And now moving onto IVF. Next month. Still staying positive! Absolutely! I'll get there! And so will you all!! In time!

Chatbash72 · 16/11/2018 15:05

@Rose68 you go no where but the sofa, hot water bottle and some really crappy telly.. rest up and take it a minute at a time.. let the tears out.., sending big big hugs 💕

Taxgirl1 · 16/11/2018 15:08

Rose, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've been there. It's horrific. There's nothing anyone can say to make it any better. Cry away, let the tears flow. You don't need to have a plan at the moment. Just rest and give yourself some time to process and recover. Big love to you xx

Cleozeta · 16/11/2018 15:08

Russkispy - sorry you got bfn but well done for keeping such a positive attitude. You are right, we will get there!

WishingonaStar77 · 16/11/2018 15:59

So sorry to hear that Rose68.. sending love x

CritterTamer · 16/11/2018 16:45

@Russkispy sorry to hear it was a BFN. I’m sure you will have success with IVF, you’ve already had such good success in the past with IUI and You’ll have a much better chance with IVF so I have high hopes it will work for you xxx

Russkispy · 16/11/2018 17:04

Thank you @CritterTamer ! My doc reckons it will be a good outcome! Well, I'm restarting DHEA tonight and will carry on with my supplements and acupuncture and reflexology. All of that is for a good cause. I'm convinced! Will keep you posted! Hope all is going well with you!

Floofsquidge · 16/11/2018 18:08

Rose68 I'm so sorry x

mellongoose · 16/11/2018 19:04

Oh no @Rose68 . I'm so sorry to hear this. Wise words from pp about the sofa, comfort food and tears. There are no words that I can give you but please be kind to yourself and I hope someone is there to cuddle you x

Ameliel · 16/11/2018 19:23

Oh @Rose68 , so sorry for your loss! :(
Big hugs, thinking of you.
@Russkispy , sorry for the bfn, are you sure it's negative if you had a faint line on home test? Could it just be too early? Forgive me if that's a silly question, Im not sure what cd you are as I've been away for few days...
I'm currently cd4, had a very light period, trying to boost my lining with eating lots of iron rich foods.. this is our 3rd cycle ttc and I think we need to up the efforts this time! Last cycle we only managed 4 x dtd and probably missed the window by a day...so I'm determined to get a lot of action in this time! Good luck to all of you, fingers crossed for an early Xmas BFP- present !

Russkispy · 16/11/2018 19:57

@Ameliel , it's 10 days post IUI and I think it was a remainder of HCG trigger I had p, before the actual procedure.

shinyblackdog · 16/11/2018 21:09

Thinking of you Rose, so sorry for what you're going through - it's the worst but you're not alone.

littlemimosa · 16/11/2018 21:23

Orchid I meant that I’d not had a proper follicular phase this month. I’d not had a risein oestrogen or an LH surge after my last period tocause me to ovulate. I’d just had 6 weeks of misery (hot flashes and dryness in places you don’t want to be dry! Eyes included). So I was hoping that the sudden lack of those horrid symptoms meant I was building up to ovulate. And yes I think I am cos got ewcm today and some ovulation pains. So glad to have my hormones back.
