N2L - 20ml of clexane Holy crap, that sounds heaps!!!!! How many times a day do you have to have that? DH always complained how much 300u Puregon felt when he was pushing it in so can't imagine 20ml!!!!!!
Saffy - how are things going on the LH surge front? I was never given the option when I was doing FET, it was always an HRT cycle but I guess it is probably because our clinic is quite small but VERY busy so at least with HRT, they could transfer when it was convenient for them. Hope things are moving for you chick.
Rhi -
So, as I said, both embies were transferred yesterday which is awesome. Our FS was very happy with them and said she is cautiously optimistic which is encouraging. Though I know we have all been here long enough to know that doesn't necessarily mean what we want it to but at least it is hopeful. We had a little chat with her before transfer and we are all in agreement that this is our last shot. If this doesn't work, we are done. And that being the case, we wanted to do everything we possibly could to maximise the chance of this one working so two was the better option. She has even said that I should probably have another 3 units of blood next week just to keep me topped up so really, this time, we have done everything. At least we won't be able to look back in 10 years time and think, what if we had tried this or that. But, so far, feeling pretty good and having 3 lovely , lazy days at home on the couch.
Dr Google is like that nasty, insidious so-called friend who makes you feel like garbage but you keep going back for more punishment!! You had an awesome looking embie so you've given it the best shot you can. Try not to stress . . . Says she who has baked all day to shut her brain up!! But mmmm brownies, carrot cake and breakfast bars! The embryos wanted them . . . Truly!! Any who, what day do you have your bt? We must be pretty much exactly the same stage cos I had 3 day embryos the day after you, my bt is the 21st
Saff - yay yay yay for the surge!!! Pretty cool that we will all be going mad together in 2ww!! Yay for 5 day transfer too, day's think it will make the wait feel any shorter?
Ok dumb and tmi question time. I have never been sure about the whole caffeine thing during ivf, I've gone from going cold turkey to having the odd coffee and obviously never has made any difference to the outcome. ATM I would kill for a coffee (I'm a 4 - 5 double shots a day kinda gal when not cycling) but I'm terrified that one coffee will be make or break. I did say dumb question time too, btw :P Also I am a little bit crampy and have been so since epu so . . . Ahem . . . have been keeping my distance from DH. Is a quickie really gonna be an issue, I know we should carry on relatively normally but again, it's that whole worry about what if we didn't do this or that if the cycle doesn't work. And if I'm crampy, don't wanna upset things any more iykwim
Melissa - my blood test is on the 23rd. My period is due the day before so I might not make it I hear you on the coffee and sex thing! I don't give up coffee in the 2ww but I do give up sex (not sure what that says about me )! With regards to the coffee, my FS says one a day is fine (that's all I have normally anyway). I don't know, maybe I should give it up too....???? Sigh...
Re the sex... I love sex. I miss it during the tww but I can't help think it could be a bad thing -especially before implantation has a chance to happen. You know what though? Not having sex hasn't helped me so far so maybe I should be shagging like a rabbit
Hi Saffy! How are you going?
AFM: 5dp2dt and no symptoms whatsoever Maybe the mildest of mild twinge of a cramp every now and then but so, so mild I am barely aware of it. I have creamy lotion-y cm but that would be the pessaries. I don't think I have ever felt this 'normal' after a transfer. I am pretty sure I am out
N2l- do not even think about announcing you are out yet! Its waaaay too early sister.... I felt normal last time remember- no symptoms at all, so it doesn't mean anything.
melissa-I drink decaf coffee ( not a big coffee drinker anyway so I find decaf still has enough caffiene in it) why not try that? As for sex, I would wait, you don't want to regret anything esp if it is your last go.... besides an O ( not the ovulation type O) gives BAAAD BAAAAD cramps as I found out in my last pregnancy- its scary! DH will survive lol
AFM- transfer booked in for thursday, hooray, just wish this week would hurry and be over! Picking up the clexane tomorrow- ouch! Also, we are offically POOR thanks to this FET!!
Thanks Saff Great to hear you have your transfer booked! We will all be in the TWW wait then!
I forgot to say I think my estrogen is on the rise too. I have that metallic taste in my mouth and the ankle/leg fluid retention thing happening. I can't recall exactly what that "means" cycle wise but I am pretty sure it is AF related
Next Wednesday Joeve. 10dpo today (8dp2dt). My experience is that FRERs show a pretty good line when your HCG is five (see my "knitting" pics from last cycle). At this stage my HCG would have to be at least 5
Still pretty damn early, chick. I loathe that feeling when you have resigned yourself to the fact it hasn't worked though. Big hugs to you hon, this sucks do damn much,
I am (trying) to not even think about things, it just stresses me out too much. I can't contemplate this not working. And dh won't let me poas. I only want to know the outcome if it's good news.
Saffy - happy transfer day, hope your lil snowbound thaw like champs
For being so negative and self centred in my previous couple of posts.
I feel terrible I didn't even ask how you gals are doing. Sorry
Happy transfer day Saffy!!! I am praying this is the one for you
Melissa - I have a good feeling for you. Sending any sticky vibes I have left over the Tasman to you lovely girl. I reckon the world needs another little kiwi about now x
On my way to my first natropath appointment. Her name is Ruth Trickey. She is one of those renowned "babymaker" types. A former midwife. She does research with my FS. Thats the only reason i got in to see her. She normally doesnt take new patients. Will let you guys know of any pearls of wisdom she gives me. Although neither of you will need them
Hun you aren't self centered, this is the reality of LTTTC/AC . Sometimes you give, sometimes you take, right now it's expected and welcomed for you to be leaning on others.
just did my first one.
