Hey Cindy,
We have booked up a busy weekend so bring on Monday!!! My boobs are quite tender and bigger today sorry if TMI. At the beginning of my last IVF cycle this happened for about the first 2 days after transfer and then stopped this time it has happened later- so don't know if it is just the crinone or not?? I have my fingers crossed though. I am still really tired, not sure if its just because I'm on holidays or the dreaded crinone or you know what? Will keep you posted on Monday not sure if I'll get to the forum much this weekend....goodluck
Hi Linda
Congrats on your BFP. I think the crinone is one of the worst parts of the cycle also. Some of the side effects can give you false hopes and make you feel yuk!! Have a great weekend!!
I so hope thats not the crinone giving you those symptoms and that you are pregnant!!
Good that you have a busy weekend booked, i think it helps so much. Im hoping monday you will get a BFP. I will be checking back and forth for an update on monday arvo.
i am thinking that maybe my cramping is due to AF? Every day or two I notice a build up due to the crinone gel, and Fri morning the build up was a browny colour...nothing to stress about really - could be implantation?
Yesterday I was feeling a little on the chilly side, even though my face felt warm...and this morning the colour I was seeing on my toilet paper was a darker red...darn it...any ideas?
Aww Mary im not too sure, it could be AF - but would it be too early for that??
My cramping has gone but went to the loo before and all that was on the toilet paper was mainly the crinone, just hope AF stays away. I am still feeling confident as with ALL my other attempts i have had major cramping before or when AF arrived, so i guess i just have to wait and see.
I also had a chilling feeling yesterday - but now its gone. No idea what that was about !?!
I really hope its not your AF coming, my fingers and toes are crossed for the both of us that it stays away for us for the next 8 months.
I thank you all for your best wishes, but I think that AF has come....I am a little upset, but I hadn't built my hopes up as it was our first IVF attempt. It does seem to have come really early - it is not full flowing, but it is dark red in colour. Something to ask the specialist about when I go see him
One of the positives has been that we had 3 blast's frozen.
I have a stupid question...but with crinone gel being there to help with the build up of the uterine lining...is there a posibility that the crinone gel is also fighting the period and that it is why it isn't as heavy as it would be at this stage? I am pathetic aren't I
Cidy and Ali - good luck to both of you - I am thinking of you and wish the best for your upcoming tests.
Hi Cindy and Mary,
Mary sorry to hear that AF has arrived...I hope its just a false alarm. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!
Well I just had a call from the clinic and guess what....I got a !!!!!
I am so excited!!!
I hope that there is more good news coming your way guys. Hang in there!! Goodluck I'm thinking of you both!
Firstly a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Ali. I am so happy for you. I remember when I got that call from the clinic and they told me I was pregnant It felt so unreal. I was hysterical. I wish you the very best for your whole pregnancy.
Cindy I hope you are next. I have my fingers crossed for you.
Mary I am sorry it wasn't your month. Like you said it was your first time even though it would have been nice to have 1st time success. I wish you luck for next time.
Thanks guys!!
Not sure what my levels were...I forgot to ask but the nurse did say they were quite high...go for another blood test tomorrow now that I'm of the crinone (thank god!!) so I'll try to remember to ask then.
Cindy I have my fingers crossed for you and I'm thinking positive thoughts for you too...not long to wait now!!! Look forward to hearing your result. Take care
How come you have to go for another BT when your off the Crinone?
Has it sunk in yet that your pregnant!!?? lol. If im preggas im sure its gonna take me a long time to sink in hehe.
Im so happy for you Ali.
So far so good for me no AF cramping, the odd slight cramp here and there but nothing major and its not as often as it was at the 4 days. 2 more sleeps for me, excited but very nervous, couldnt bear another BFN.
Ali did your cramping ease right up near the end? Im starting to get abit scared that AF might show i it doesnt and i get the result i so want,a BFP !!!
Hi Cindy!
Not long now...wishing that you get a BFP too!!!!
I think I had to have a second BT to make sure it is not a chemical pregnancy?? Some people have to have 3 the nurse said today?! I asked what my levels were on Monday and she said they were 132...she said that she checked to make sure I only had one embryo tranferred b/c they were so high!! Might explain why I am feeling so tired and yuk at the moment?!
It hasn't felt real yet...but god it feels good to walk down the shops and see babies and pregnant women and not feel like a failure like i used to!
Goodluck for tomorrow let us know how you go...fingers crossed I'm ing for you!!!
Best of luck! Hear from you soon!!
Hi Ali - congratulations on your result - that is fantastic.
Cindy - good luck with your test on the 12th.
As for me - still have AF...quite heavy...cramping has gone and it is annoying me that I still have to take the crinone until after the blood test on Friday.
I am actually quite ok about the entire experience - it was our first IVF attempt so I am just glad that we actually had a complete cycle. At the end of it all, 8 eggs collected, 6 fertilised, 4 to blastocyst, 1 transferred and 3 frozen - no complaints
Thinking of you all and thanks for your kind words.
Mary
