Ladies doing IVF or IUI - 2015 (9 BFPs!)

[Blueflower]

I had the test for coeliac disease but it was negative. Sounds bad about the gluten though, I do get bad pains sometimes and feel so full after a carby dinner that my back aches!

Thinking of you Dee and Jasmine, we fly home tonight.

 

[Jasmine111]

I have been told to test on the 11th, I think AF will show up before than anyway. I dont keep any tests at home to save getting my hopes up. Its DH birthday on the 8th so I dont want test early and ruin that either xx

 

[Dee28]

You clearly have so much more willpower than me! I'm now in poas hell, have such bad cramps today I tested again 30 mins ago and bfn so I'll be gobsmacked if I get a bfp now. I couldn't wait in limbo for another week though xx

 

[Jasmine111]

They strictly told me to test on the 11th and I have to ring them and let them know the outcome. If af hasn't arrived by the 10th then I'll buy a test lol xx

 

[Jasmine111]

I'm out AF arrived today, 5 days before OTD what a joke!

 

[Dee28]

Omg jasmine, I'm so sorry, are you sure it's AF and not a bleed? Have you tested to be sure? I haven't started bleeding yet but all tests negative so 99% I'm out too. It sucks big time. Big hugs xx

 

[Blueflower]

No way Jasmine, are you sure?

 

[CDAbaby]

Oh jasmine, that sucks. You poor thing xxxx thinking of you, it must be so hard after going through treatment xx

 

[Tiptoes]

Hey hunni, are you sure that is what it is? Like the guys say maybe it's an implantation bleed? I would do a test to be sure xx

 

[Jasmine111]

I've done a test as well BFN, me and hubby pretty devastated. I rang the clinic, they said it's too early I need to test on the 11th still and keep taking the pessaries. It's definitely AF, it's not in full flow yet but she is on her way xx

 

[Tiptoes]

Ah Hun, life can be so cruel...hang on in there...I know it's hard and I would be devastated too. You will get there in the end tho..we all will xx

 

[Dee28]

I've had some red blood too now so that and the days of bfns have sealed the deal

 

[Jasmine111]

I feel your pain dee, hugs xx

 

[Dee28]

I've just called the clinic to ask if I can stop the progesterone, really don't want to keep taking it til bloody Thursday when I've got my period, urgh xx

 

[Jasmine111]

I stopped taking mine yesterday, I don't see the point, I got a negative test and AF is in full flow. Do they really think we could still be pregnant xx

 

[kkheartsbaby]

Sorry it didn't work for you both they say the average success is 3 ivf cycles but hope your bfps comes sooner xx

 

[Loubalouba]

Oh ladies it's so tough, exactly the same happened to me bleeding a week before OTD, I am so sorry no words can help you, I know how you are feeling as it's still raw for me too... We can't give up! Take a break, eat and drink whatever u like, keep busy, do something you enjoy doing.... Cry... Scream, whatever it takes to get it out!!! Xxx

Update for me:

So our consultant recommended we have one last try of IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Screening at their sister clinic in London whilst on the waiting list for donor eggs. He said that we might be able to have the main treatment in London but the scans and bloods locally to avoid a 2 hour trip just for a quick appointment 3 or 4 times in the week before egg collection. So I made an appointment with the London clinic and we saw a very helpful Embryologist last week who explained the process to us.

The London clinic were fine with the ‘satellite’ arrangement but our local clinic have been so difficult. First they didn’t refer us so I had to scan and email all our notes myself! I was frantically filling in forms and emailing them over the day before our appointment! Then they said they might not be able to fit me in for bloods and scans as their ‘own patients’ would be a priority! Next they said I’d have to have my nurse appointment up in London too and now are saying that we’ll have to get a consultant at the London clinic as well! Its all been very confusing and stressful! There will have to be a lot of liaising between the 2 clinics to make sure they can do the bloods and scans on the right days and fit the cycle round when the PGS can be done! I can see it being very complicated! I’ll also need the immune protocol again and maybe the endometrial scratch.

We think our local clinic have washed their hands of us because we’ve brought their figures down & they aren’t getting our money any more, nice!

So depending on when they can fit us in for appointments we’ll hopefully be starting in the next month or 2!
