I saw that we were nearly at 1k posts and think we get cut off at that point, so hope that you all find this new thread - going to post a link to it in the old thread...
Will be nice to keep updated with how everyone is getting on x

Yay fantastic news Silver! xx

Pleased to hear all is going well for you Silver. I can imagine the worrying doesn't really stop, but with each milestone maybe you rest a bit easier.

Great to have some good news finally silver! So pleased for you x

Thank you everyone x

Congratulations silver what wonderful news! Enjoy every minute

Hello LoPi and good luck for your results on Friday.

Hi LoPl, I'm also approaching my 3rd cycle and trying to keep positive about it all. Hope you get some good results from tests on Friday.

Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok, silver lovely news about yr scan, enjoy every minute.

I had my follow up scan today at the EPU which confirmed i am still considered pregnant as the sac is still there and growing, my body still thinks its pregnant and seems happy that way for now.
So after a chat with the nurse i have decided to go in for a procedure to have it all removed. I cant wait around anymore for it to happen naturally its killing me and i cant stand feeling pregnant knowing im not really.
I will be awake for the procedure which terrifies me but at least i know it will be done and i can start to look forward.
I go in monday for consent and bloods then they will book me in.

I think it is time for me to bow out now and take some time out.
I just want to thank everyone for their continued support and advice throughout and for being my cycle buddies.
Best of luck to all of you that got your bfp and fingers crossed for all those who didnt that you get yours very soon.
Might see some of you cycling again on a new cycle buddies board in the future.

Xxx

Sending you good wishes Hope. I know it seems like a long wait for your body to miscarry on its own, but it is less invasive if you can wait. Very occasionally mistakes are made with scans, so that's why I waited last time. I always feel my body knows best and miscarrying naturally is part of the process of it preparing to try again.
Thinking of you and hope to chat again.

Hi all - been meaning to reply to you Hope - Been thinking of you. I realise that you might not be coming on here, but hope your appointment today goes ok. A good friend of mine went through what you are going through at the moment and I think you are definitely doing the right thing having the op. She waited and waited for hers to resolve but ended up having to have an op anyway... it's so cruel that your body is tricked like that... i know what she found so hard was still experiencing symptoms but knowing there's no baby. It's just devastating. I don't want to worry you, but she had to have two ops to get it all out (she was told that is highly unusual though) so she felt she was jinxed and it would never happen for them, but the reason I know her at all is her wee girl is the same age as my DS, so I just wanted to give you hope that it can happen. Good luck xx
AFM- im day 9 of my 2nd cycle post failure and period stopped day 6, but I've just had a fair bit of brown blood come out when I went to the loo... v odd as I don't usually spot mid cycle. I had a tiny bit of pink/red spotting this time last cycle, so I'm wondering if it's still my body recovering from the ivf ... anyone else have this? X

Hobbes im CD11 of cycle 2 after the failure and I'm still on my period. I've had the weirdest time. After an epic 33 day cycle (longest ever for me) I had what I thought was my period (defo not spotting) but it was nearly all brown brown after one night of red and then a few days ago it started red like a normal period. All I can think is our bodies take a long time to get to grips with normal hormone production after having it all switched off during the cycle?

hope I'm so sorry. Hope the procedure is not too painful for you
hobbes and geeup can't really shed any light as am only cd3 of 1st cycle post ivf. All I can say is it's the worst period I've ever encountered!! Cramps like you wouldn't believe. My oh says it's a good sign that my body is getting back to normal.

Oh hope I'm so sorry you're going through this awful experience 😞 life really is cruel sometimes. Sending you lots of love and will be thinking of you x x

Bjones my first cycle was bloody horrendous! No more bleeding than usual but the pain was out of this world!

AFM I went back for blood test to confirm my hcg level had gone back down to zero and now just waiting for my follow up appointment.

Hope everyone else is ok x x

Wishing you all the very best hope. May the procedure go well and take your time as needed, and hopefully we'll see you back when you are ready to give it another shot with happy ending you deserve

Thinking of you hope

Hi all. Just thought I'd drop my to my old first cycle buddies and say hi as I'm PUPO again. Third time lucky hopefully. How are you all getting along? Think of you often on these boards @Hobbes39 hope you're doing ok after such a difficult outcome.

Hi @geeup - that's v exciting you are PUPO - will keep everything crossed for you xxx hopefully 2018 will be our year 🤞 x

Good luck geeup - fingers crossed for you! x

Got everything crossed for you geeup lets hope they stick for you. Keep us posted xx

Ah thanks guys. I hope you're all doing ok whatever you're facing at the moment.

Hi again - sorry for a copy paste as have written this on a couple of threads but I'm just feeling mega hopeful and need to let it out!
I'm now 4dp5dt of my 2 non-hatching frozen embies. Did a test this morning (definitely against all my clinic's medical advice!) and while I would absolutely put it firmly in the BFN space, I'm hopeful there's a glimmer of hope from the faintest of shadows. Could be a shadow or an evap - internet cheapie - but I'm saving my first £10 piss stick for when there's more of a chance there's something to see later in the week. So for now cross your fingers for me please!

@geeup - I think I see a v v faint line too... 🤞🤞 keep me posted!! Good luck xx

Yes geeup I see it too. Keep on doing whatever you’re doing to make them stick x

Totally negative today. Will obviously give it another couple of days incase of a miracle but think I'm out knowing I had a strongish positive on 5dp5dt with a singleton last time before the chemical and this time was with two.
This process is so tough. I have two lower grade Frosties left and then we're facing giving up which is a scary thought.

@geeup - hugs to you - is so flipping difficult - I'm still keeping everything crossed though as it is still very early and embryos can implant at different times and your body could be slower to respond this time... I'm not wanting to give false hope, but there is still some. Am thinking of you - what you say about having 2 left and facing giving up, struck a chord with me too. I've been investigating IVF Alicante thinking that if our Frosties don't work then that might be our last ditch attempt (possibly with DE) I don't know... anyway - fingers crossed for you, there is still a chance - hang in there xx
