  • Feeling a little bummed this morning. I cheated and started testing yesterday at 6dp5dt. At first I thought it was completely negative, but a few hours later I swore I could see a VERY faint line. This mornings just seems negative. 

    I know it's early, but not feeling optimistic. Beta is Wednesday (11dp5dt)

    1st cycle of IVF started April 9, 2017. ER- 15R, 7M, 5F, 4 frozen, 1 transferred. BFN

    May 2017- Hysteroscopy

    June-August 2017- 2nd attempt via FET. 2 Embryos transferred on 08/10/17. BFP, but ended in a chemical.

    November 2017- Hysteroscopy

    January 2018- 3rd attempt via FET. 2 Embryos transferred on 01/25/18. BOLD BFP on a HPT on 1/31, Beta # 1 on 2/5= 721. Beta # 2 on 2/7- 1903. 6wk+3 day scan revealed twins!

    I'm blogging about it here

  • Was it the same type of test both days? Which test are you using?? 
    I hope it's just too early for you, @Dragonfly6191!!

  • @katherind - how are you doing today?
    I never have time to go on these boards during the week so weekends is when I try and catch up. I'm 6dpo and have been testing every morning to see the line fade. This morning there was a real squinter from the Ovidrel so I'm hoping tomorrow it's totally gone so I know anything I get will be the real deal. I bought 120 hpts on Amazon, best $50 (CND) I've spent so far!
    How's everyone else?

    @tryingfor1st Doing okay here today. I've been experiencing some cramping in my lower abdomen. My stomach has been pretty sensitive too.  The same thing happened last time and I think the Crinone causes a lot of that. I'm definitely experiencing much bigger mood swings this time around though. I don't know if that's because my Menopur doses were so high, or what. My estrogen was significantly lower when I triggered this time, so I'm just not sure. Hoping it means good news.

    I'm not going to test at home this time if I can help it. Last time, I had a false negative and it really messed with me. I might the day before my beta so I can be prepared, but I haven't decided yet. We'll see how the next week goes.

    I still see a vvvf line (fake from the trigger) this morning and I'm 8dpt/7dpo. Temp took a bit of a nose dive today.
    *TW* Found out my friend is prego (1st try). It hurts but I'm happy for her. I had a cry-sesh by myself and then with MH on the phone (he's working today). I really hope I get my bfp this cycle so we can be prego together but she's still a bit ahead of me. *calm deep breath* How am I going to distract myself for the next week?!?

    ETA: forgot the trigger...sorry. Just getting used to these boards.
  • @tryingfor1st FX for you!!! I know how you feel...I get got my bfn Friday and my sister n law with 3 little kids asked me to dinner. I couldn't even respond because I can't imagine yet seeing them and their perfect little family. She was the same as your friend, for her 3rd she told me she just had to use a pregnancy app and it worked right away  :#

  • @kristimh80 - I'm very glad she did not tell me in person because I had just temped and I immediately burst into tears. I just wish this would get easier to deal with but it won't and MH has said he's okay if it doesn't happen for us but I'm not sure how okay I will be. He likes to have no hope at all so that he can prepare for a BFN and if I get a BFP, well that's great. I'd rather keep the hope alive until my temp drops before CL or AF arrives. We are very different this way. Also, hate when people say, oh if it doesn't happen this cycle, maybe next. I hadn't even o-ed yet and friend said that to me. I honestly wanted to burst into tears again but couldn't because I was at work.
    I guess I can always become more involved in dog rescues if I don't have kids since I'll have all this extra time... *sigh*

    So it never gets any easier...
  • @tryingfor1st I'm so sorry, but I completely understand! I'm always so hopeful at the start of the cycle then the tww I get nervous and make myself not get hopes up. It's going to hope, don't worry!! MY DH keep telling me that when it does, it will be perfect and reminds me of all my friends that "accidently" get preggo, most have a ton of issues that luckily we don't. Right now, I feel like my energy is depleted, going in Monday for a baseline...I'm usually excited and hopeful but this time it's like a burn out if that makes sense. Try to stay positive...your now out until af shows :)

  • @fivetimesnoluck same test, both days. I'm using the wondfo brand so granted they are super cheapies but people seem to have pretty good results with them.

    Decided to take today off from testing- I'll try again tomorrow- that'll be 9dp5dt. If it's still negative....:(

  • @tryingfor1st I know exactly how you feel! I found out both of my cousins were pregnant the same day. They some how got pregnant the same week and found out the same time :( one was trying for the first time and the other was an accident. They are due next month which is when I plan on moving back to my home state. But if I don't see a BFP this month ists going to be so hard moving back and having two new babies in the family.
  • @Dragonfly6191 smart move to take a day off. Enjoy your Sunday! Hopefully you'll see two lines when you resume. But keep in mind there have been plenty of girls on here with a BFN at 9dpt that did turn up PG! I know it's hard to feel positive, but you're not out until you're out! Keeping everything crossed for you!

  • @kristimh80 - I totally understand. I've distracted myself well with house work but now I'm laying in bed and wishing I were pg.

    @blackrose-3 - I'm curious what is defined as an accident. As a woman struggling with infertility, the only accident is when the protection doesn't work or breaks (e.g. condom broke or on BCP and didn't work). That must have sucked hearing at the same time, especially when it doesn't happen the same way for you. 

    @fivetimesnoluck - I'll keep my FX for you too. Except when I hear news like I did today, I'm pretty good at keeping the hope alive during any cycle except 14dpo & CD1...

  • Well I woke up to find out one of my cousins is in labor so I caved and took a test this morning... BFN. Still hoping for good news on Thursday but I'm feeling a little less hopeful this morning.

    @tryingfor1st I feel the same way, but I didn't want to go into details about how it happened. But she is the one in labor right now... she said the baby will be here by lunch.

    Thank you, @brooklyngirl18, @SoonToBeMommaHowe and @tryingfor1st! All of your good vibes are so appreciated. I am currently testing once in the am and trying to resist testing again throughout the day. It's not easy. I may have even submitted a pic of one of my HPTs to a website that lets (crazy) people vote on whether it's positive or negative. The results confirmed I am not seeing things. And today's test is a touch darker than yesterday's, but I swear Wondfos don't change much.... I want this to work soooo badly.

    And I know every one of you understand that.

  • Tested this morning at 9dp5dt. BFN. I looked at that thing every way under every light and I swear there is not even the faintest of lines.

    Beta is Wednesday, but I've lost all hope at this point.

    Latecomer here... currently 10dp3dt on our fourth and final IVF. Not home testing because hubby really doesn't want me to, but it's awful to wait. I have had mild nausea now for a week, so I am praying hard. Beta tomorrow.
    Praying for you all too, with Mother's day next weekend, we all know how hard that can be! ❤️ I'm excited for the hope and expectation here, and for the positive results! Dragonfly6191, it is early, keep the faith ❤️

  • @Dragonfly6191 Don't give up hope just yet! I tested this morning too with a BFN but my beta is Thursday so I'm hanging on until then! Do the same! It could be too early. FX!!
  • I'm trying not to panic yet and just hold out hope until Wednesday, but it's really hard! I don't really feel any symptoms either which isn't helping. :(

    Hoping the test is wrong, @Dragonfly6191, but I understand steeling yourself for the results. Last year through all the medicated cycles and IUIs I allowed myself to POAS the morning of beta so I wouldn't be caught at work by the news.

    Welcome, @momof2furkids! I admire the will power to not do any testing. All my things will be crossed for you tomorrow. Will you find out same day? Let us know! I am seriously rooting for everyone here.
    I see fourth and final - do you have any plans to try a different path if this isn't your time? Good luck!
    ETA: your furbabies are gorgeous! Please tell me what they are?!

  • Okay, so I had 7dpo test (really its 7.5-8dpo but who's counting???) and progesterone came back over 50. Nurse said it was good and last cycle was 28. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this? I've been googling like mad but I was at work all day.
