(Tones)Oh gosh I am so happy if this is a real positive for you, please dont take this the wrong way as I dont want to break the great feeling, but this happened to me on my last cycle, i had just began the meds and because I felt a little different took a hpt, got a faint positive. They testesd blood and was 9 or 10, but the dr said I was not pregnant it was a reactin to all the hormone treatment, even did a US. Get yourself checked, ring your RE, so happy if I wrong for youxxx loads love and hopeful, wonderful news , hope yours is a true positive too, keep us updated, melissaxxx

Oh yes please .. that would just be too amazing!!!  I am feeling more symptoms .. just lightly but nevertheless they are there .. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and test

trying to prepare myself as I know that 50% of pregnancies fail before your af arrives ... most women don't even realise they are pg .. it's just us obsessive ones who test early!  but whatever happens .. we did manage to do it so that's positive!

omg .. I just tested with an hpt as I thought I felt different on the meds this time and got the faintest of lines .. If I did O twice this month like I thought I did .. it would make me about 9 or 10 dpo now and I usually only show hcg on an hpt at 11 dpo .. I don't know what to do!  I think I should not have my lucrin today and see if the test is darker tomorrow then go back to my clinic for another beta.

My head is spinning!! just goes to show that sometimes it pays to trust your instincts .. I knew something was up in the last week!!

I've also been on the short protocol both times but the first time I was on antagonist protocol with Gonal F 450 and Menopur and Orgalutron. Only had 4 eggs that time and none fertilized. IVF #2 I did Lupron with Gonal F and only had two eggs but both fertilized! I think I got the faintest line today on my HPT!!!! I was going to wait for my Beta but DH really wanted me to test so I did!! I can't believe it!! I'm really hoping this is my BFP!!!!

It sounds very more advanced in states and Australia, I went straight on short protocol, never even talked about about another way. Always respond to the menopur but I am on 450 a day. Alway get my follies to 18-20mm by day 10 of stimms, just never produce many! hey ho this WILL BE OUR TURN!
