@CMH25 I'm in the same boat. So happy for the others, but feeling like maybe my potential BFN will even out the statistics for the Sweet Peas. I'm 7dp5dt too and had stark white results this morning as well. But I'm testing til Beta (Friday) so that I can prepare myself. I saw the chart about 9dp5dt being a better indicator too, and I have to believe it. It's just those lucky ladies who get their 5dp5dt transfer BFP that convince us we should already know by now! Hang in there!

Oh and your question about paragraph breaks. I'm on an iPad too. When you are typing, the toolbar area has a white button with 2 red brackets on the right side. Click that and then add your returns.

@CMH25 I wouldn't count yourself out just yet. I've seen lots of ppl not get their positives until 9dpt. I'm keeping my FX so hard for you and @Jzyla.
I've been at work for the past 8 hours so I was able to "like" the status but honestly I don't feel like that's enough!! SOOOOOO I just wanted to let you all know this is what I feel like when I see your awesome updates!!
@cmh25 and @jzyla- hugs and fx to you! I'm in the same boat but I'm now 10dp5dt so I'm pretty positive that it's not gonna happen for me. Holding out a tiny bit of hope for beta tomorrow.
So excited for all of the good news on this board and it definitely helps cheer me up to read about everyone! I guess I better start pawning the furniture so I can pay oop for an fet next month!

starlightgator congrats on the great numbers! Was there any change in your protocol between IVF #1 and 2?
Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF.
I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).
We are using open ID donor sperm.
IUIs #1-7=BFN.
IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).
I am so excited to say I got a BFP this morning!!! I have been testing since 5dp5dt and at best I would say my results were mixed. I was going nuts. Today, 7dp5dt I bit the bullet and purchased one of the Clear Blue tests with the weeks estimator. Pregnant 1-2 weeks. EEKKK!
Congrats to all of the recent BFPs! Best of luck to all of those stiming and I wish all the patience in the world to those who are PUPO. This past week has been the longest week ever! Beta tomorrow
** Losses Mentioned **
Me(32) - Low AMH (0.46) and DH(33) - All good!

@Justone13 and @ChristieH917, can one of you remove me from the Sweet Peas. My RE called me first thing this morning with bad news. I am not going to get into it on this post since there is a great positive vibe going on and I want that to continue for all the Sweet Peas. I will post a different topic about my issues for some of your advises
Wish the best of luck to everyone.
Me: 34 DH:37
Married 2008. TTC since March 2009
March 2010 - HSG, Tubes Removed, only IVF as option
July 2014 - First visit back to RE, ready to dive into IVF.
Aug 2014 - Had final orientation and baseline ultrasound. Have PCOS, RE expecting large qty for ER, but concerned for OHSS
@CMH25 I'm so glad it's worked out for one of us. You deserve it!
Mine was still clearly negative this morning. I'm so depressed. There are a lot of stories online about people who didn't get a positive HPT before their Beta, but I know they are the exceptional minority. I don't mean to drag down the board's positivity, but I'm feeling pretty hopeless right now. This was our last chance. Beta Friday morning and should know by the afternoon.

You guys, loving the positivity! It's giving me hope. I keep bouncing back and forth with what I think is going on in my uterus. I'm too afraid to POAS.
No pocket of four leaf clovers, BUT I do have a fertility rock on my bedside table:)
Congrats to all the BFPs!
I'm sorry @Jzyla I'm crossing my fingers for you and all the sweetpeas who are still in progress!
@jzyla I'm saying every prayer I can for you. I am so terribly sorry that you have to go through this. IF isn't fair and it just down right sucks!! I wish I could give you a real hug. Just know I'm thinking of ya!

I'm still crampy here and there but I don't feel anything one way or the other. I was going to POAS but then changed my mind. My beta is Monday and I did take the day off, so if it's bad news I'll be at home. I am going to try to hold out since I'm not sure I can bear to see another negative pee stick ever again. My shots have been going better. so there's the silver lining I've been looking for

Hysteroscopy : August 2014 (adhesions, and pre-polyps found and removed)
FET#1: September 11th, 2 hatching frosties transferred
There is a serious BFP crew going on here. Congrats all! For those with less glowing results, I'm very much rooting for you and I really empathize with you.
AFM, I got a call yesterday about the embryo (the one that had a lot of cells on Day 3) that they were watching. My RE said it might be abnormal since it was so fast-growing, but also thought it might very well develop into a nice blastocyst to be frozen. Nope. It arrested after day 3.
So the other embryo that was transferred to me a few days ago on Day 3 is my only hope or I'm out this round. It was supposedly great quality at the time but it's hard to hope for much so early on. Yowsers, really hoping some of this Sweet Pea good luck rubs off on me!
So much positivity here! So happy for all the good news!
Sending lots of love and hugs to all who need it. IF sucks big time.
Yesterday I had 9 follicles on day 4 of stims, going back tomorrow. ER will be Wednesday or Thursday next week if all continues to go well. Fingers crossed.
