    @mtpbadger so sorry about your beta. I'm glad you have a plan already in motion for another cycle though! 

    AFM...just noticed a little bleeding tonight after using the bathroom. Am I out already? My transfer was on Wednesday. Still hoping for the best but this has me down for sure. 
  • @Sunflower5678 hopefully it's just implantation bleeding. If it's dark brown, that's a sign of implantation. I would just monitor... don't give up hope yet!! When is your beta?

  • @babylonghorn16 my beta is Friday. It was more pink than brown...that's why I'm kinda losing hope. I've been super crampy but I was thinking that was more the progesterone suppositories. I'll try to keep my chin up though :) I will call my nurse tomorrow to let her know. 
  • @Sunflower5678 I think as long as it's not red, I wouldn't worry too much! Friday can't come soon enough!

  • @mtpbadger I am so sorry. I was so sad to hear your news. I am glad that you have a plan and I hope that it will allow you to get the BFP you deserve.

    It is so incredible to see how strong all of the women on this board are.

    @lilmissslp an @holzie Good luck to you today!!! So exciting!

    1st IVF starts in April
  • Question: when did you stop alcohol and/or caffeine intake? I've only had a few glasses of wine in the past week or so, but I drink 1-2 cups of coffee every day. Of course I will IMMEDIATELY cut out BOTH come Friday, but was just wondering how much time you gave/plan to give yourself before transfer?

  • I'm dying waiting. I feel like I can't do anything!!!

    @babylonghorn16 I started weaning out caffeine the day that I started my suppression shots. I started to drink half calf coffee then eventually I went to decaf. Then I read that decaf coffee is still very acidic and not to drink after your embryo transfer. I read so many mixed things online saying one cup of caffeine a day is fine. I'm just trying to do anything and everything I can to help my chances.

    @babylonghorn16  I was never told to cut the caffeine out completely. I still enjoy 1 cup of coffee daily in the am.  (9 1/2 weeks preggers) I think moderation is the key. Best of luck Friday :-) 

  • Thanks @Holzie!  I hope you're hanging in there too. They didn't give me any sort of timeframe but I thought because I went so early maybe I would've heard by now. We're getting so close! I keep checking to hear from you too!

  • Oh @lilmissslp I am so so sorry. I was hoping everyone else would be able to celebrate this week! I completely understand being frustrated with your body and not understanding what is wrong. IF just plain stinks. Be kind to yourself this week. Will you speak with your RE to try and figure out why it didn't take or how to move forward?
  • @lilmissslp Big hugs!!! Soo sorry. Please take care of yourself!

    @Holzie  congratulations on your bfp!

  • @lilmissslp - so sorry...that just stinks! I hope you and your RE can figure out a new game plan and you will be able to move forward quickly!!
  • Thanks ladies. I was a blubbering mess on the phone so I don't even remember everything she said to me. I do know they want me to take a cycle off. I really don't want to. I go back to work in September so August would be much less stressful. When I'm done blubbering I'll make an apt to go in and talk.
