I can FINALLY submit my story!!!!!
We have been trying to conceive since November 2011 and after a lot of heartbreak we finally got our BFP today!
DH sperm checks out fine, all good there, I have very mild PCOS on my left ovary and very mild endo that got removed in June, but I also got tested for immune issues and had high natural killer cells, posititive anti-phospholipds and positive anti-nuclear antibodies, so basically my immune system could have been potentially destroying any embryo before it had a chance to implant, it also might not of though, it is one of those things that could be affecting fertility but we aren't 100% sure.
So this was my first IVF, 10 eggs retrieved, 6 fertilized, 1 blastocyst transferred on 15/12 and 4 embryos were frozen.
I have had a lot of cramping since the egg transfer, wasn't sure if this was normal or not so couldn't tell if it was a symptom. My boobs have been very sore since starting the medication for IVF so i couldn't rely on that either! I have had lots of AF type cramps and really thought I was out, but at 16dpo (11dp5dt) I got a really strong muscle type cramp on my left side when I turned over suddenly in bed, also got them again yesterday at 17dpo and thought they were a good sign because it was something I hadn't had before. My boobs are slightly veiny, I had to really study them though!
But really, not many symptoms, not sick, no great sense of smell, no blood nose, no metallic taste, no abundance of CM......just really AF cramps, tired and weeing a lot..nothing that couldn't be put down to usual AF symptoms!
Good luck to everyone, I hope you get your miracle soon!
