The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

ginvzt

I still don't know if it is real. I got the another 8 weeks worth of pessaries, so that is the only thing to remind me.

I had more cramps last night, and I just don't know how to feel - it is hard to believe, I have no other symptoms to 'hook on'. I started looking for some books last night I reserved a couple in the library.

I thought I'd pop back in to double check!
My clinic gave prog pessaries til test day and that's it - was scanned at 6weeks then discharged to local hospital. As it was twins I am under consultant care, but otherwise would have been treated as a normal pregnancy.
I'm days away (hopefully) from meeting my 2 miracles, but it still doesn't seem real, and the worry about things going wrong does not go away .......biggest tip ....try to stay away from google!
Here's to a happy and problem free pregnancy xx

And good luck to everyone else who is still on the journey x

Thanks cedrickerry! Hope all goes well for the last few days.

I did another test this morning, as I was having cramps for the last few days and I still can't believe, and it said this time 'Pregnant 3+'. Well, I am supposed to be 4w+5d today, so I guess my hcg levels are a bit higher that the test expected.

I keep reminding OH that it could be twins - we had 2 embryos back, but we will not know that until we have a scan, which is supposed to be week 7. Still waiting for doctor to call me today. I am just impatient.

Cramps (as long as not excrutiating and extended) are good, it means things are moving around making the accomodation perfect for the next 8 months.

And 3+ weeks at less than 5 weeks is great news, shows a lovely rise in hcg and possibly multiple as you say.

So pleased for you :-)

4 eggs collected today but only 3 mature enough to work with. No chance of going to blast with 3, so i'll be expecting a call first thing Wed am and probably be in for ET Wed pm.

I know it only takes one but that's generally said by people with money to pay for several goes. We don't have that, this is it, our only go. Trying to keep a bit of PMA, and was doing fine until the doctor and embryologist both said sorry (as in sorry it's not better news)!!!!

As of about an hour ago, we should have some embybabies growing in the lab. Praying they all take.

Hun, you really do only need one.

But you currently have 3! Try to rest up now, think positive thoughts and get someone to wait on you :-)

How many can you have put back?

Kitten, relax and don't lose the hope! Last time I only got 1 egg, and it fertilised. Ok, it didn't give me the positive test, but I had a go.

My clinic calls you the following morning to say how many fertilised and arrange for ET. The first go I had day 2 transfer (so, collection on Thursday and transfer on Saturday), this time it was day 3 transfer (collection on Wednesday and transfer on Saturday).

I'll keep fingers crossed for you.

SK, got my fingers crossed for you xx

Sorry guys.

Lisa I can have 2 put back (if we get that many)

Gin - we have to wait to Wed now to hear how many have fertilised. Should be between 9am-9.30am. Seems a long way away at the moment. Embryologist said looking at numbers, it's likely i'll be a day 2 transfer, they wouldn't want to risk longer.

It'll be fine, i'm sure.
