Going for bloods soon, I will get back to you then, should have results in a few hours. Not hopeful, still to faint to get a decent pick..... A touch easier to see but this isn't my first rodeo I know what it means, so frustrated!! Why does this keep happening, I know ihave had incredible stress in the past week but why do I get to this stage and it stop, I'm terrified as to why, but I know I need to find out as I don't want it to effect my fet, seems we arent having any trouble getting the sperm to the egg anymore, surley they can't all have abnormalities,and why is i only get this far

Must be so frustrating let's hope the bloods show something positive. I thought that they already did tests as to why this was happening though? If not is there something they can test you and Ken for? Good luck, I'll ck back soon

Beta hcg is 9, I also spoke to them about the cycle before last I got all the other tests run today but won't get most of them back for a week, she will get my p2 and e4 today and will call when they get in

Geez stillfun, what a crappy time you've been having, and then this on top of it all. I wonder if it is something to do with implantation. You've had your progesterone checked? I know there's sections in the books I've been reading about very early pregnancy losses and some of the reasons, but I didn't bother reading them since I'm not getting to that point. I hope they can get to the bottom of it.

AFM, I got a positive OPK today, on CD 11. Earlier than it ever has been, so I'm a bit disturbed about that. BDed this morning, and not going to be able to get DH to DTD again tomorrow. So just going to stick to my schedule of every two days and hope...

Yeah they did e2 p4 today, my nurse said if all other bloods come back normaliI will be well supported this cycle, she said I will have progesterone pessaries coming out my ears by final bloods, they are a little concerned but that's why we are repeating all my bloods, I had 7 vials taken today and a cup of wee, might just be low progesterone, I was put on it straight away with my first pregnancy, andway af should be here any minute, I can feel her!

OMG! Stillfun! You sure are dealing with a lot right now. I'm so sorry about your cattle and the foal that is the saddest thing. Poor babies. I can't believe you got an HCG of 9. I hope its just really early and it doubles by the next test. there's got to be a reason for all the chemicals. I agree with you it doesn't make sense that they are all stopping around the same point. I sure hope your B/W is able to give you some answers. Remind me again have you been checked for any blood clotting disorders?

Good Luck Northern!! Fingers are crossed for you!

Anastasia: WOW 3 days!!! Yippee!!! I hope we will still see you on occasional even after the baby arrives. You def. have to at least share a picture. :)

Hoping: I hope the testosterone comes back good. Congrats on your daughter getting her drivers license. She must have been so happy. I keep telling my little sister only thing she'll ever be driving is a bicycle. lol! She has big feet that she trips over all the time, nobody needs her on the road lol! Sorry her driving makes you feel old. I'm feeling that way without kids so I could not even imagine.

AFM: I had my baseline ultrasound today and everything looked great according to the doctor that did the u/s. having some issues getting my meds here but I'm hoping to have it all worked out tomorrow since I start Lupron on Thursday! looking forward to actually starting but not looking forward to the injections lol!

Mel make sure you use ice packs, I promise you won't feel it!! I had ken do mine with my OI cycle and he did my first one with my ivf but after I iced and did it myself I would never let him do it again!! Af has arrived, I spoke to my specialists about my concerns and that is why he is putting me on asprin, it helps with NK cells and blood flow, so Fx it does the trick, I'm now on 6 progynova ( oestrogen ) tablets a day!!! Start progesterone CD 8, wholey cow Mel we are close! So fricken annoyed about last cycle but I'm glad they aren't letting it effect this one, I was sure they would cancel. I'm also having a lot of trouble with my dad, he writes nasty stuff to all his family and has now started on me and my sis, we have never had much of a relationship and now he is saying he is unstable cause I won't comment on his comments to me on facebook and he wants to kill himself and its pretty much my fault cause I don't love him, all of this has come from nowhere and I last messaged him on fb on the 28th, anyway its all Fucked up and o don't need the added stress, we were working on repairing our relationship but I don't care anymore I can't deal with that, and if he commits suisidet its not because of me, he chose to make our relationship like this by being a shity farther, I'm just moving on withmy life! Sorry for the rrant but now you get my fb post...

Stillfun, it sounds like loads of stress right now in your life! I really hope your ET takes and you can take that off your plate.
Mel, I hope your ET takes too! At least someone will have babies on here!
AFM, is trying to start here too. A little spotting last night and very small this morning so far. DH said the doctors office said all his bloodwork was fine when they called him yesterday. I am going for mine this morning and will ask what his exact levels are. If they are normal, then I guess I will give up on the baby. I know it will never work with the sex 3 times a month we are having at this point. And even if we do have it close to O time, most likely the few sperm we do have will prob be dead from age. Makes me want to cry. He says he really would love to have a baby, but when it comes down to the actual doing of it, he isn't making any effort to create it. There is no point in taking the fertility vitamins if you aren't going to have sex and allowing the sperm you DO make to die off anyway

Ugh, I don't have much time to post but so much going on here!

Hoping, I feel so badly for you. Wish I could give you a big ol hug! Did your hubby get bloodwork only, or also sperm count done? It's so frustrating - seems like sometimes you will just never know. We thought our problem was the sperm and now that it's fine, we still can't conceive and no one has any answers for us. Can you time intercourse so that you get two in around 2-3 days apart just before O? That's what I'm trying to do, in hopes of the first time getting the old spermies out and the 2nd being the one that hopefully allows some to catch the egg. It can be so hard though, especially when O falls in the middle or end of the week and days are so busy and hubby is tired.

Stillfun, sorry about your dad. That guilt-tripping is so unfair - especially coming from your father! He needs to grow up! I'd tell him that you are going through some very difficult times of your own right now and that he needs to get professional help. You need support and positivity around you right now, not stress and negative crap like that. That seems weird that you are starting progesterone on CD 8. Do you know why so early? Good luck girl!! I'm so excited for you and Mel! Let's get this baby train rolling!

Mel, that's great the scan was good! You're on your way! Oh, and another trick with injections that my naturopath taught me is to "distract" your skin by kinda tickling the skin with a finger right beside where the needle goes in. You end up feeling the tickling and not the sensation of the needle/injection. I did this with my B12 shots and it made them way easier.

Anastasia, good luck to you too! You will do just fine - try not to worry about the pain. Can't wait to see the little bub! And I would love it if you stick around here with us after baby arrives too! We could all use some good baby energy!

AFM, tried to get DH to BD last night but he was too tired. I had trouble sleeping all night and my temp was elevated a bit this morning but managed to get a BD in (barely) this morning. I think it might have been too late to catch the egg but am still hopeful since we got one in two days ago. So, fingers crossed. This was a really weird cycle though - I didn't have any EWM - usually I get at least a small amount show up at least once but nothing at all this time. I used lots of pre-seed though, so hopefully that helped. And the wait starts. I will be glad to have this O pain go away - it was so bad this time that BDing was really painful, as is just sitting.

Northern I'm not sure why they start it so early but I know girls who take the shots from the start, might be to suppress real ovulation... I realy dont know lol, its hard remembering all the pills as it is :)
I'm glad you got your bd on anyways as you never know!
Hoping I know how frustrating it gets, I'm really sorry. I know there is natural stuff for low T bit it depends on if you want to make the effort, I didn't so I haven't looked onto it.
When do you start jabbing Mel? And congrats on that huge donation!
