Welcome Jenfrancis You tested too early,I did the same thing-tested 5 days after 5 d transfer-BFN and 2 days later-very faint BFP. Never heard about compacted stage().What is it?! Don't lose hope just yet,9 cell embie on a day 5-it's not the best,but miracles happen every day!Just wait for the blood test and good luck!
The Compacted stage I think is what I have seen called Morula or something. The cells are clustered and unable to be counted. Guess its stage before blastocyst. I took another HPT this AM, (day 6 post transfer) of course Negative. Then I woke up this AM and checked all your replies. Thank you, I have hope. I feel no different, no nausea, no cramps. I am hopeful, but doubtful. Guess I am trying to be ready for upsetting results. How likely is it that embryos dont make it to Blastocyst stage by day 5, could it be embryo arrest? They were in morula stage for 3 days. Well, I will let you all know Saturday. Fingers Crossed!
Jenfrancis - I've been there and done the same thing...I had 2 5 day embryos transferred on 7-16-2007...That was a Monday...I felt different with that entire cycle...However curiosity got this best of this cat and on Saturday which I was 5 days post transfer I tested with an HPT I was tired of waiting...I also received a BFN and was crushed the rest of the time and figured why even go and have my Beta done on the 26th of July...I still got up early that morning and drove my 1 1/2 hours to the RE's office and waited the WHOLE ENTIRE DAY....I tested at like 6 in the morning and didn't receive my results until 4:48pm...I had convinced myself that it was true and I was not pregnant...Low and behold we started with a beta of 336 which is a nice and high starting beta...So hang in there and try not to test anymore...You never know what the beta will say...I am now 4-6 weeks from having my baby boy....Praying that you receive a BFP!!!...Hang in there girl
Congrats! Wow! Well, there is hope! I am shocked with that high beta result, surprised its not twins! Wow! Thank you for the positive lift! I need it. (Even tho I truly dont have a 2ww.) They only made me wait 10 days. I thought that was because they did not really expect it to work. No need to prolong the agony of waiting.
HI Marina...My story is this. Dh and I have been ttc our second child together for over 3 years. We have a dd together and I have ds from previous relationship. I have been diagnosed with PCOS.
After 2 years of trying went to see RE. Had 1 cycle of clomid that did not yield any follies. RE upped the dose and I had 1 follie during this cycle. BFP!!!! Unfortunately after 7 weeks it ended in m/c. Had to have thyroid surgery so we took some time off after m/c. Next two cycles with clomid, nothing. Moved on to gonal-f. Because of PCOS they had to take it slow with me. This went on for an endless three weeks. All meds out of pocket. Still not great response, but some. Had two good size follies. Took trigger and did timed bd....outcome nothing. Just about same next time. I decided I needed to lose some weight before I continued. Took 4 months off and lost 45 lbs. January started again,. This time they were alot quicker to give me a higher dose of gonal-f. 265 first 4 days and then 375 for 6. I had a great response, almost too good. RE told me there were great risk of multiple due to PCOS and 6-7 follies. I really am Ok with at most 3. Hopefully I will get BFP and not have litter. Anyway that is where I am at now. I did IUI this time as to not deal with stress of timed bd. Unfortunately dh still saw it as a huge stress. He had a hard time with sample. During sperm analysys they told us sperm was so good it was donor quality. Due to stress he was feeling sample almost did not happen. He finally managed to put a deposit in cup. Unfortunately after washing it was 15 mil. REE said that was fine since they only require 5 mil for IUI. So here I am in 2ww hoping to get a BFP. If not I assume we will be at it again next month.
I am new to the 2ww board. No one is posting on the other boards, they just seem to be for sale boards now. I just did my first round of clomid, 50 mg, days 3-7. I am CD9, so not due to O yet, but soon I hope. I am also taking 1000mg of Metformin daily as well. I hope this works, I have been ttc for years. My ex dh had no sperm and we were married for 14 years. I am with someone different now and he has 1 dd, age 10. He just did sperm analysis and it came back with flying colors. We have been ttc to 1 year now together. I have PCOS and unexplained inferility. I do not O and have very irregular periods, 1-2 a year on my own. I was really tired on D4 and D5 of the clomid, moody, sore breasts. This has seem to gone away now, except still a little moody. The 2ww is going to be tough. I need your support ladies.
Gloria- Welcome! You have come to the right place for support. Have they checked your follicles yet? Are you going to use a trigger shot or just wait to O on your own? Moodiness is just one of the perks of clomid (fun huh?), but if it works well worth it. I wish you the best of luck and lots of baby dust.
They are going to check on Tuesday morning. I have to do a post cloital the same morning as well. I don't know if my dr. will do a trigger shot or not, I guess it will depend on the u/s and what he sees. I can't wait til Tuesday to see what is or isn't happening. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I am not going to get any hopes up, because it is always a BFN. But it won't stop me from trying though. I am with the love of my life. We were high school sweethearts, dated for 5 years in HS, then he went into the Marines and we split up and lost touch for 10 years. We are both recently divorced and have never stopped loving each other and now we are ttc. So far for 1 year with no luck on our own. I am the one with the problems and it is frustrating. He has a dd and didn't want any more kids but now he is excited about having a baby with me and very supportive and kind. There is no history in my family of infertlity, just me. My sister can get pg if you breathe on her, same with my mom. I just don't get it....
gemdnandy: Dont lose hope. I went through fertility off and on for 6 years. I have a dd who is 3 and i just gave birth to a second on 2/8/08 both clomid and iui babies. It can and will happen in its own time. I also have unexplained infertility but aso iwth unexplained miscarriges i have lost 5 along the way also. Its hard when it you and not him.
Thanks for the support ladies, it really does help. Today is CD10 and I am feeling crampy, slight but there still. Is this normal for Clomid? Does this mean it could be working and stimulating my ovaries and getting ready to O? My dr. said you usually don't O until CD14 with Clomid, that's why they scheduled me on CD14 for u/s and tests. Anyone with experience using clomid, I would love your comments if these are good signs - the cramps that is....
Congrats to bdantonio on your new baby... That is such great news to hear, I love hearing the sucess stories, they give such hope to the rest of us still ttc.
gemdandy- When I did the clomid I had a few u/s to monitor my follicle size before the O. When the follicles were a certain size I was told to monitor with a home ovulation kit (opk) and when I had a positive to have intercourse. We also did the post coital test for the first and 3rd clomid cycle the morning after the positive opk. I never ovulate on cycle day 14 even on the clomid but everyone is different. Each dr. is different too some monitor you closely and others do not. I wouldn't worry about the cramping. I also had some cramping and bloating on the clomid. It is just the medicine at work. Unfortunately it did not work for me but dh also has sperm issues. Try to stay positive, many women have gotten pg with clomid.
Welcome Goria I too have PCOS and have been trying to conceive for 3 plus years with 1 m/c along th way.
Keep the faith. If it brought yo back together with the love of your life I am sure it will not fail you now.
I am on day 10 of 2ww and about to lose my mind. Some days I feel like something is going onn and I am going to get BFP. Other days like today I am sooooooooo convinced it is going to be BFN!!
I am so ready to break down and so HPT, but I am trying so hard not to. I can thank th esnow from keeping me from buying one today.
I am trying to stay really positive this time around for sure. I am also on Metformin 1000mg daily. This is my 5 month on it. It has not however regulated me though.
The 2ww is killer, hang in there. Is it too early for you to test? I would wait if you can handle it, good for the snow. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and wishing you best of luck and baby dust.
lyly14,
Thanks for getting back to me. I know everyone O's on different dates especially on clomid, I guess I just need to wait until Tuesday and see what the u/s shows as far as follicle size and how many. I have the opk's and just started using them, so far no positive.
Gloria since you do have PCOS and do not ovulate on your own, why isn't RE having you use trigger shot.
I am on Metformin also but 2000 daily and after alsmost a I started getting af without assistance. Not every month like clockwork but at least every 6-8 weeks.
ok so ladies I broke down and POAS. I have 4 days left on my 2ww and I had to pick up medicine for dd. She is sick, so of course with my lack of self control I purchased a HPT. I went home and it said if you were testing 4 days before should use first urine. So of course I did not listen and did it anyway. I figured it was atwo pack and I could do one now and one again tomorrow. Welllllllll.........to my supprise BFP!!!!!!
Not sure what to do with myself. I have such mixed emotions. Am I truly pg. Is it the ovidrel still in my system. Although I have read the ovidrel is gone after 7 days. I am now 12 days post trigger. Help I am so crazy right now. Does anyone think it can be from ovidrel ao is it truly BFP.
Debbie- Wow that is great news! The shot is probably out of your system by now, so I am thinking it is a true bfp!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you, of course I am wishing it was me, but so happy for you. I guess all the hard work and waiting really paid off. Good luck with everything and keep me posted. I can't wait to hear what the beta is.
lyly- I wish it was you also along with me. I am keeping my celebration to a minimum the lines is really light on the test. I hope it remains BFP. I do go for beta until Thursday. I also have symptoms one day and not the next so I am doubting every second of the BFP
