Star that's amazing! One heck of a fertilisation rate! How are you feeling today?

Today's random fact from me.... a few weeks ago we were talking about our 'serenity spots' (those of us with the IVF Belief CD will know what I mean there). I said that mine was the garden of a shrine in Walsingham. I'd been there years ago and found it very peaceful and relaxing, and for some reason it was the first place that sprang to mind when the CD asked me to think of somewhere.

Yesterday I saw it mentioned again, in the Lent course I'm studying. It appears that Walsingham is the place to go for fertility prayers . Even a couple of Henry VIII's wives went! :rotfl:.

I've no idea whether I'd heard this before and it was in my subconscious somewhere or not - it seemed to come as I complete surprise to me when I read it last night. I like the idea that my serenity spot is somewhere that hundreds (maybe thousands) of people have gone to and prayed for their children.

I am a bit sore still today and monitoring my fluids as they are slightly concerned re OHSS. Still taking the tablets for it (yuck) and they are scanning me Friday and if ok transfer Sat (positive thoughts) if not will freeze them all until better.

So for rest of week I will be drinking plenty and catching up
on box sets of TV.

Great news Star, good luck little embryos. Final scan for me tomorrow hopefully, getting a touch anxious now. OH not coming home from work til the night before EC so if anything goes wrong flight wise he will have to do a mad dash across the continent in the car.
But I'm sure it will all be fine!

I need to share this with someone but I am sitting here going out of my mind with worry. Sometimes the internet is a terrible thing as you end up googling everything.


My story is that I am 39 and DH is 36. We've had 3 failed IUIs and 1 failed IVF.


I'm on my second round now and just got over the 2WW. During that time I tested negative when doing the HPT however the betas came back yesterday and showed a BFP (!). I am so grateful but now I'm on the next phase of worrying.


Before I got the BFP last Friday I thought AF had visited. It was the most awful day for us. But there was nothing there on Saturday or Sunday. However yesterday showed a few specks of blood and today there is a little too. I thought any implantation bleeding would have stopped by now.


I am terrified this is going to end badly. I have to go tomorrow for another test as my HCG was thought to be a little low so they want to see if it's risen.


I don't think I've ever prayed so hard. The emotional rollercoaster this puts you on is unbearable and the waiting is endless.


I just need to share this as I'm going out of my mind.


I read your stories but don't really post much. You are all so brave and I just need to be brave too.

Oh Vodka. That limbo time is horrible, you cant get excited how you should because you are worrying so much.

Perhaps you are still spotting because you implanted late, would explain a low hcg result and the neg HPT.

A lot of ladies spot all through so it is not automatically a terrible thing, although horrible for you guys of course.
There is noting you can really do of course apart from wait and try to think positive thoughts, and also step away from google! As you will find there are many different ways of looking at this situation and nobody else will have exactly the same experience or advice.

Hoping for you, and I truly do feel your pain (if you've read much of my ramblings you will see that is very true!)

Good luck
