Anyone else in the TWW period??

i don't think anyone would hold it against you for being anti social at the moment Lynn! and if they do - send them my way and i'll knock some sense into them!!

Hey there lynn
Im 14 days on tuesday. My BT is for the 4th. Yours is the 31st isnt it. Awww its getting closer. When you going to do HPT. ??? If you do one before me then I might do mine. Im just so scared!!

lol@bg....Knock sence into them ah...lol.

damn straight - people have to be considerate of the emotions others are going through! i don't deal well with inconsiderate peoples!

Thanks bg :hug:

Same day as me Missy :) I won't lie, I did a test today :rolleyes: I'm not taking it as true because it is early and the hcg from the injection last Thursday will still be in my system. Even if AF doesn't arrive on Tuesday I wont believe I am pg until I get the results back from my bt on Thursday. I have read that the hcg can stay in your system for up to 14 days!!! Not sure if that is on a higher dose than me but it said that only a bt can be accurate. I am so scared too! We can be scared together :hugs:

bg I wish there were more people like you around me at the moment :cry: Some people are inconsiderate and insensitive. But I guess unless you go through something like this you have no idea do you.

Awww I know what you mean bg.

Lynn did it come up +s. I remember with DS, (dh and i talked about it) and it was about 3 days after my shot with callum that I tested and it came up +s . I tested about 3 times more and all were +s. So it was +???? Awww what if I do mine and it comes up -neg. awwww I need a :hug: lol

That is so true lynn. untill you have been through what we are going through then back off. Or as my DD says " STEP UP"...pmsl

you told fibs Lynn!!!

there is a whole section in missy's journal from a couple of days ago where another person and i were chatting about how long HCG stays in the system after the shot - i'm pretty sure 1500 iu was only in the system for a few days

i'm so hoping the result you appear to have gotten is accurate hun - you deserve this so much!

So does this mean its +s. Did I miss some thing...lol

Yes as bg said, we talked about it and bg is right.

Awww im so excited

it's funny - i've heard about people i know IRLthat have fallen pg lately, and i can't manage to even garner some false happiness for them, but the thought of one of the girls on here who has struggled to have a bubba getting a positive result makes me smile every time.

really hoping you get confirmation in a couple of days Lynn - it will make me feel a whole lot more confident that the "pressure" is a good sign!

and missy, you didn't miss anything, but if you re-read lynns post, she said she won't believe she's pg until she gets the BT - so it had to be a positive! (well, that's what the deductive side of my brain is telling me)

Awww yes Im the same bg. I love hearing about the ladies in here getting BFP. Although it can be hard some times it truely is wonderful because they go through alot.

Oh deeeeeerrrr Me...lol. Awww im sure its a true reading lynn. I'll be :pray: that its all good for you. and you too bg

i think there's more than a few prayers out there for you at the moment Lynn

(butt i'll admit you don't get them all - gotta be selfish and keep some for me! LOL)

Good Evening Ladies,

I have attempted to chat over the last couple of days but have been rather social - so I'm making up for all of you! I'm sure that's because I have not taken any drugs for this cycle so I'm feeling v normal - still not one side effect but think I'll do a HPT tomorrow morning which will be day 14 of my cycle.

I guess the other thing that makes this easier for me is that I have a 10mth DD to distract me and to take the pressure off getting pregnant - mind you I really want this like all of you but I am grateful for what I have. Let me assure you that the tww will go much quicker for you next time (coz you'll all get BFP's this time) and you'll have a DD or DS to chase after - or two or one of each for those of us who have had 2 embies transfered!

A question for you - why so many diff BT dates? Is it diff cycle days (or lack of in the case of some women)? Or is it just diff clinic standards? ie, my clinic indicates you must have a BT even if AF arrives?

I am feeling particularly positive for all of us today, have also napped the last two days which I'm taking as a positive sign - hopefully I'm growing a little embie (I'll ignore the late nights and early mornings I've had). Will do a HPT tomorrow which may bring me back to reality - but until then I'll continue to be positive - and therefore suffer the paranoia that maybe the scrambled eggs I ate for brekky weren't quite 100% cooked - and all the other food worries that come with pregnancy.

Lynn, I can't believe that people are so insensitive, you have suffered every women's worst nightmare, you are so brave. I agree with Missy, from being on this forum you will have so many more people praying for you - but don't worry Missy, I'm praying for all of us!

Sorry for the long rant - trying to make the most of the little time I have online!

Nat

hi nat - and woo hoo at getting through the tww relatively unscathed!!!

i think the different BT dates are due to clinic standards - the comments i got when i asked why my tww was so long was that it was best to make sure AD was really late - but that's kinda hard to judge when you've NEVER had a cycle - so i'm just running on the idea that a three week 2ww is just ridiculous, and doing my HPTday 14 (provided DH doesn't change his mind - why did i leave this up to him - was i out of my mind??)

good luck in the morning - and fingers crossed!

Hi BG, you're good to have even consulted your DH on when to take the HPT, I went out and bought one without even telling my DH - not that I was keeping it a secret and he knows I'll test tomorrow it just didn't occur to me that I should ask his thoughts on it.

If I had to wait 3 weeks I think I'd do a HPT at 2 weeks and if it's positive go to my GP to get a BT - no way would I wait for the clinic - it's cruel!!

Re getting thru the tww, it has helped not having any symptoms - no Crinone messing with my mind with pg like symptoms. Somehow I've managed to keep myself mostly neutral to whether I am or I'm not - sometimes I'm negative and sometimes I'm positive - like the last couple of days.

Mostly I've just been busy and haven't had the time to think about it like I did last cycle - plus I was feeling sore and sorry for myself after the full stim cycle so I just couldn't forget about it - like you all that need to go back for injections etc - how are you supposed to distract yourself when you've got to keep popping back into the clinic?

Thinking of you all but will especially be thinking of Lynn tomorrow - Lynn all the best with getting through the day - I hope your HPT reflects your BT results - you deserve some wonderful news.

Nat

nat - i know i'm a super impatient person, so i left the testing time frame in DH's hands - otherwise i'd be testing WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too early!!!

it was deinitely out of self preservation!

Well today and tomorrow for crinone gel. If af is coming it will most prob be here wed night. awww so scard. Good luck nat with you test. Cant wait to her your BFP...good luck.

BG Im not sure if im going to test. Might wait till thursday now...lol...af should be here by then if she is coming. What you think. Im so scard!!!

Hi everyone,

Been a bit down the last couple of days - have developed flu-like symptoms and can't imagine what effect it is having on what is going on in my body. Felt really nauseas on Sat night - also that horrible hot/cold shaky feeling you get with a flu. Had bad stomach cramps yesterday and developed a sore throat last night. Having the day off work today - think it is my body telling me just to slow down and rest. Rang the docs this morning and was advised only to have panadol - and to go to my GP if I get worse to get antibiotics.
I haven't been sick in ages - why now at this most crucial time. It is making me feel more negative about things going well this cycle.

Ellie - wishing you all the best if / when you decide to do your HPT. As much as we all want to get to the end of the TWW, we also want to prolong the "unknown" for a bit longer... Lots of "POSITIVE" vibes and wishes going your way. I don't think I will do a HPT until the weekend.

Lynn - Wishing you lots and lots of good luck with your BT on the 31st.

BG - Your DH and my DP are the same age! We haven't really talked about how long we will try for. I know he has concerns about being an "older dad" - but it seems to be so much more common now anyway. I just site Brad Pitt as a good example!

Take care all,
K
