TTC 18 months or more -moving on to IUI/IVF/ICSI part 3

We have relocated from the conception board where we were previously chatting under the thread 'ttc for 10 months or more'. A lot of us are now long term ttc-ers and are going through infertility treatment or looking to take steps in this direction so we feel this might be a more suitable home for us!

Feel free to stop by and say hi and hopefully we can share the journey together and make it a little easier along the way!

Oh blue what a moving post. Infertility is such a bloody bitch & you really have been through the mill, but your resilience & hope is inspiring Star

justtheonethen · 16/07/2017 13:43

Totally second what angel said. You are so strong and inspirational. We are all totally rooting for you.

Bad news from me. I've started having brown tinged CM - exactly what happened last time - so expect I'll start bleeding tomorrow at 6dp5dt. Gutted it hasn't worked again. Feeling utterly hopeless as I face whatever comes next. 

Flamingo44 · 17/07/2017 11:53

Don't give up just yet Geeup...I had some brown spotting at 7dp5dt and it worked out ok for me. I've definitely read where people have identical symptoms but the outcome is different so it's not over yet. Have you caved and taken a test yet?

Sending hugs.

geeup · 17/07/2017 12:54

Sorry for copy and pasting from another thread but am shaking too much to rewrite. So on another thread for my clinic, flamingo said that she also got brown spotting but on 7dp5dt and had I done a test so I've just gone and bought a FRER and I can't believe I'm saying this but I think there is my first ever bloody second line!!! I'm not thinking it'll be a pregnancy at all as I'm definitely having brown CM but even if it's just my first chemical I think this is the first ever time I have produced HcG! Fuck me I cannot believe it. Am crying in my work loo.

Sorry flamingo - just realised you said it on this thread too. Am so confused I can't think straight.

Flamingo44 · 17/07/2017 12:59

Hehe, that's ok! I've been a watcher of this post for a while but never commented on it before and kind of did that by accident thinking it was the other thread!

Hi everyone 👋🏼 !

geeup · 17/07/2017 13:01

And I'm glad you did - you're clearly lucky!!

angelazul · 17/07/2017 13:10

Gee pos implantation bleeding??? Keep positive, at the moment you're pregnant!! Smile

NoImBridgetJones · 17/07/2017 15:03

That's definitely a line!! Everything crossed for you!

justtheonethen · 17/07/2017 15:10

Congrats gee. Brown is fine I think. I'm tentatively thrilled for you! Eeeeeeep!

Welcome flamingo

geeup · 18/07/2017 12:02

CM has gone pinky red so am fearing the worst. Nothing anyone can do but wait.

justtheonethen · 18/07/2017 12:49

gee really hope it's nothing. Keeping everything crossed.

bluebird3 · 18/07/2017 20:30

Congrats on the line gee! I think implantation can be brown or pink so we will all keep our fx!

I'm afraid the bleeding got a lot worse. Had a day of proper red blood and cramps so pretty sure it's all over I'm afraid. Won't know till Saturday though when I can test again but think I'm out Sad

justtheonethen · 18/07/2017 21:35

Sorry gee Sad

Jamon · 20/07/2017 20:26

Oh gee I've only just seen this thread again, felt such a rush of happiness seeing you got your BFP. I'm so sorry you're now bleeding SadSadSad I'm still keeping everything crossed for you in case there is a chance xxx

bluebird3 · 20/07/2017 21:57

gee I'm so sorry. It doesn't sound positive but you do hear stories of people who bleed and still maintain the pregnancy. Are you going to have a blood test with your clinic? It's utter shit that you can get a bfp after ivf only to have it go just as quickly. Massive hugs.

justtheonethen · 22/07/2017 11:35

gee how are you?

geeup · 22/07/2017 13:20

Hey. Did a CB digital yesterday and the clinic test today as it was OTD today. Both BFNs so definitely all over. I'm kind of at one with it although the sadness tends to hit me in a week or two when I start feeling hopeless again and worrying about when I can do the next thing.
My big question is whether to do a FET in October knowing I have a long haul flight in Nov, against my clinics recommendation (they don't like you to fly if you get a bfp).

angelazul · 22/07/2017 13:33

Sorry gee, look after yourself Flowers

ScottishJaggyNettle · 22/07/2017 14:36

Sorry im just catching up...

Gee im sorry to see that things didnt work out for you its horrible to have that happiness and have it grabbed away from you so quickly. Flowers This whole thing is horrible.
I would wait till after the long haul peronaly but thats just me. Clinic recommendations are the ways that they have seen best results (Although the no flying is a new one on me i have not heard that before). But obviously its completely your choice.

geeup · 22/07/2017 14:52

Major headfuck. Just checked my official test from the clinic which I chucked in the bin this morning after it was a BFN (I didn't time but only prob waited 2 mins as was expecting a negative after the neg on the CB digital on Fri). Turns out there's a faint line. Spoke to the clinic and they confirmed it would have been a chemical. It's just the last bit of hcg remaining. I feel better knowing that it wasn't the trigger and something did try to implant at least.

gee I'm so sorry that it hasn't worked out. I know exactly how you feel. It's shitty beyond words to get the bfp and then have to taken to quickly.

To add to the further shit storm that is my life my sister just rang to tell me she's pregnant. She got married in May and is already pregnant. She's only 9 fucking weeks and decided to baby bomb me a week after I miscarried. I haven't even fucking stopped bleeding yet.
