Hi ladies, After nearly 2 years on the forum, it's time to sadly say goodbye. DH and i have our first home visit with a social worker next week as we're going the adoption route. So, time to move on to forums new, with a whole load of new acronyms to learn.... SW, AD, AS... :oooo: I just...

Am feeling so negative :( What if the embryos have all stopped developing and there's nothing to transfer? What if it doesn't work? We've run out of money and I've run out of energy, this is our last ditch attempt before applying for adoption. Sorry for the doom and gloom :( xx

Just been counting dates (as you do...) and realised that if everything stays on track for egg collection on Wednesday and we get a miracle BFP, then the due date will be Feb 29th! (I think... let me know if I'm wrong lol!) Fingers crossed we'll get the go-ahead after our next scan on...

Here we go again on the IVF rollercoaster! Had a really positive meeting with the consultant this week who said our chances are good - she's going to add two new sets of drugs this time... a steroid to hopefully improve the number of eggies (only got two before, although they were both good...

I'm on my 2nd cycle after m/c in Jan, and am not sure if everything is back to normal or not... I had a strong opk line 9 and 10 days ago followed by major ovulation pain, so normally I should be getting major pre-af symptoms by now (bloating, sore 'lady lumps')... but nothing. Same last month...

Our 7 week scan last week showed our little IVF miracle had a strong heartbeat but he was smaller than he should have been. Follow-up scan today revealed no heartbeat. We've lost our little one. Devastated :-( Very scared of the days to come. Xx

... on and off since Thursday evening. Is this the beginning of the end? No cramps yet but maybe the progesterone med is just keeping that at bay. Devastated :sad: Got scan on Thursday, but nothing can be done until then. Just waiting. Xx

Hi ladies, this is my first post in tri 1! :dance: Just wondering... I'm only 15 dpo (or the equivalent, as we had IVF so didnt strictly ovulate), but feel TOTALLY normal. No sore or swollen boobs, nothing. Is this normal? I figured that Id 'feel' pregnant or something?? Xx

OMG! Got a faint line last night, another this morning, and a darker line just now.... I'm waiting to wake up from the dream! I still can't believe it! Thank you SO much to all the ladies who have helped me get through the last few weeks (and months!) - you have kept me sane and kept me hopeful...

I remember reading that Asda were going to start doing cheap IVF drugs but never heard anything about it since... anyone know anything?? :eh: Xx

I would have to say that this was the most embarrasing situation I've ever been in, and I now have absolutely no fear about being self-conscious if I ever make it to pregnancy and labour! And I'm VERY glad that the doctor and nurse and embryologist were all ladies :-) First thing I remember is...

Just HAD to share this info with all you ladies ttc, especially those with OH having low sperm count/motility/morphology... We're currently going through IVF, and in the lead-up, DH had 3 sperm tests. All 3 showed very low results in all categories: Count, Morphology and Motility. Count was 6...

At Loiuse's request! :-) Ok so it's not really gory, but I was quite scared about the egg retrieval (ER) proceure, mainly because all info I could find on the net was pretty vague. So hopefully this will help if any of you lovely ladies end up going through the same: My previous scan (2 days...

... feeling like a pin cushion. In the past 10 days I've been stuck with 14 needles (I think... losing count now). This morning my stim injection accidentally hit a blood vessel - much blood, ugghh. Then when giving a blood sample an hour later the nurse couldn't find a blood vessel... The...

Hi Ladies, DH and I have broached the subject a few times in the past - what if the IVF doesn't work? But tonight I'm home alone, had a good long cry contemplating the possible reality of it, and googled a couple of adoption web sites. Has anyone else considered it? I'm feeling very emotional...

Gah! BFN today at 13 dpo. I was feeling so positive this month too, after getting mega cramping 8-11 dpo :-( Just feel like time's running out for us :wall: (Moan over now, thanks for listening lol!!) Xx

Hi all, Just wondering if any of you have experience or knowledge of these two clinics (both based in Nottingham) for IVF treatment? The stats look fairly similar, so interested to hear any stories! Thanks :-) Xx

Hi ladies, Anyone had a tubal patency test? We're just in the process of doing one final :sperm: test, then if that's ok, they'll need to check my tubes. Sounds a bit scary :-( If the next :sperm: test shows that the little fellas aren't up to IUI, then we'll go straight to IVF and I won't...

I know I have a SS addict, and every month I end up soooo disappointed when AF arrives, but... 7-8 dpo I had the most definite sharp pains and mild cramping which came and went for 2 days. Kind of a cross between stitch, wind (sorry!) and AF pain. I was totally covinced it was implantation. Now...

I would volunteer myself to start one, but not on PF very often these days so wouldn't be ale to keep it up to date... any takers? :-) Xx
