Good luck to everyone this month and wishing you all BFPs!!!
I just jumped onto BB whilst at work. I'm bored and time is going incredibly slow. I hope the rest of the TWW goes really fast. The first half of the cycle felt like so much action sniff this, inject that, run here for a scan and there to see the nurse. Now all there is to do is wait. I've never been patient. I'm not expecting to be UTD this cycle as I know I'd have to be pretty lucky for that to happen and after all the cramping from EPU I can't believe anything would want to hang around in there. AAGGH time, hurry up, I feel like you've stood still. Hopefully the weekend will offer some much needed distraction.
I started cramping badly this morning so rang my clinic and asked if I could get my BT this morning. I did - and my HCG at 14dpo was 183 with progesterone at 265. Not having another BT until next Friday so I will be hanging around here for a while yet. I feel completely exhausted from this process so not really excited as I know I have a way to go yet before it's really worth celebrating.
Still have my awful cough though, so anyone worried that you won't get a BFP if you have a cold/cough, don't worry

Lairdoz - why can't you have a BT earlier next week so you can get an idea of whether the hcg is going up or down? I completely understand your exhaustion and desire not to get too excited just yet. So, I won't jump up and down for you yet but will breathe a sigh of relief that your little bub has implanted itself in there. Hope the cramping has ended
Lisa - I know exactly what you mean with time standing still. I just wish there was something I could be doing to make sure this whole thing would work.
AFM - waiting...

Lairdoz - Big congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you. I know what you mean though about it being such an exhaustive process if only people really knew what we go through hey!
Kaybee - My blood test is sat 26th June. This is the first time we've done a 3dt rather tha 5dt so I feel a bit ripped off having an extra two days in my 2ww!!
Lisa B - I agree time drags & sometimes I lay awake at night thinking please work please work then feel absoluted shattered the next day for having no sleep, probably why I've come down with this darn cold!!
AFM - I POAS this morning (6dp3dt) as I wasnted to see if the pregnyl was out of my system, which it was the test was BFN. So now, the POAS addict that I am if I do get a second line I'll know that I might just be in with a chance. I remember with my last BFP I started to get a faint second line at
6dp5dt, so comparitvely that would would be Sunday for this cycle.
Lairdoz - an awesome result so far, congratulations on getting this far and I hope the good news continues. I understand that you don't won't to get your hopes up too high as yet.
LMM - wow 6dpt that is so quick to get a result. I'm sure if a BFP doesn't show up on POAS then it is probably a little early. Hoping your BFP shows up really quickly. I wonder how I'm going to feel when I get a second line one day, I've only had a false positive so far. I remember from a previous post that you do aerobics. Do you still do it during the TWW? I was thinking about returning to pump but not to step and then skipping the sit ups.
Kaybee- yeah I know I wish there was more of a forumula for how to get the embie to stick. It all really seems to unscientific at this point, all you can do is hope and pray. Thanks for doing the BT list it's most helpful.
Sorry to any ladies I have missed, particularly as I can't scroll onto the last thread to assist with my replies.

I'm still hanging around in here, because I don't really feel strong enough to enter the pregnancy forum, and technically I am still waiting. I had 2 more episodes of bleeding yesterday, not as bad as the first, but I'm feeling very down. I have to wait till Monday for another BT, and keep thinking I should go to the ER and get them to do it... but the hospital near me would probably take almost as long.
I've put myself on bedrest for the weekend and I have my fingers crossed, but I don't feel as pregnant as I did before, so I'm kind of depressed.
Lairdoz ~ Congrats on the BFP. F and TX'd so tight for you hun. I know how you feel but they are good levels for that stage arent they? I will be thinking of you and sending lots of stickyvibes your way. Good luck
Littlemissmoo ~ thats way to early to show HCG isnt it. GL and FX for you!
Lisa B ~ Hope you are finding plenty to do to keep you distracted, GL and FX hun
MiniMe ~ Lots of sticky vibes for you, hang in there and try not too stress if ya can (I know easier said than done though). Rest up but keep busy with good book or movies or something (no pregnancy movies though). Everything crossed for you!
Hi to all and lots of stickyvibes and babydust coming your way.
AFM ~ AF still hasnt come, im no CD38 (my normal cycles are about 35days). But I reckon she'll be here tomorrow. I havent POAS for about a week - dont feel there is any point if I was getting BFN's at CD33 or whenever I did it although still hoping for a miracle of course :-)
Lisa B - I thought about all that trauma too from EPU and think that even though it causes pain and cramping, I kept thinking that the uterus hasn't been touched and the uterine lining is it's own boss.
MiniMe - hang around where's there's support. Hope the wait for the BT goes quick
AFM - my work is really taking it out of me. Worked 5 days and now today off and my legs are still tired. Need to start nursing myself, rather than everyone else. "Nurse, Nurse.... I've got the hiccups." Panic, devastation. That was yesterday's crisis. Just give me a seat please.

Loops - how frustrating for you - either give me a BFP or AF hurry up and come! What a tease!
Minime - what an absolute let down - to be back here waiting again. Hope the suspense isn't killing you and I have everything crossed that it was still just a freaky accident in your otherwise h&h pg
Lisa - good on you for being so fit! It will help ensure your pg and birth go smoothly. I'm not very game to do too much yet. I've been getting a kind of heavy pain when I'm up and moving for too long (which is all day everyday) - hoping that it's nothing bad and all just normal. Who knows?
This waiting is getting to me a lot more than I thought. I have been very impatient and snappy with people (I hate those women). Trying to keep busy but trying to take it easy. Just baked a cake - gluten and sugar free so I can't say I'm looking too forward to eating it.
Well, hope you are ALL (didn't do many persies, sorry) having a fantastic weekend

Minime - I completely understand wanting to stay here, it's like we have been so programmed not to count our chickens before they are hatched with this process, it can seem that until we have definitive and ongoing proof that everything is OK, we want to stay here! I will be thinking of you and hoping tomorrow gives you the BT result you want
Loops - How many times do we want AF to come when she won't and visa versa, Grrrr! I hope she arrives soon. Great news about the tractor BTW if I didn't already say congrats.
Kaybee - thanks for taking over the BT list, and for your advice on getting a BT earlier, good idea!I hope this weekend has gone quickly and you wil be able to keep busy this week ahead of your BT which I hope will be a BFP for you.
Timeforafamily - don't you just wish sometimes you could tell what what you are going through so that they would just put their issues into perspective!
Lisa - hope the weekend has gone quickly for you, bring on the BFP!
Terry, not sure if you are an HPT girl (I'm not) but have been thinking of you and wishing you goodluck for Tuesday.
littlemissmoo - hope you are suriving, no doubt by now you are looking at doing another HPT. Please don't get despondent if you don't get a BFP at the same time you have previously as they all implant at different times.
Hi to all the other ladies in this oh so NOT enjoyable 2WW
AFM - Thanks for your lovely messages, I have taken advice from Kaybee and rang the clinic today to get a BT on Tuesday. This should give me an idea of how it's going (I can't get there tomorrow morning or would have gone then). My cramping has stopped, although my coughing hasn't. Hope you are OK with me staying here as I haven't graduated yet
well I POAS tonight and it had a feint 2nd line on the test. The 'First Response' test said 'The colours do not have to match'. So I think that's good, right? And 2 lines means pregnant.
I am 12 days post ovulation and 8 days post FET of 2x 3 day old embryos. does that = 12dpo8dpt??? (I think that's how you write it). The nurses insisted that they do not do the blood test til 14 days post transfer. I've got another 5 days to go.
My plan is to make myself pleasantly distracted/busy while I have the next few days off, otherwise I think my head might spin off!! and do repeated HPTs waiting til Friday for the official BT.

Terry - thinking of you as you have your BT tomorrow. Do you POAS ahead of time?
Time - wonderful news so far!! It must be really hard to distract yourself right now.
Lairdoz - I'm fine with you staying here, but I have a good feeling that it will only be for a short while. GL with your BT tomorrow. The weekend did go quickly for me, I think time goes slower when I'm at work.
Kaybee - I'm sure those pains are more likely to be positive than negative. It's only a few days now until you find out. Will you test ahead of time?
Loops - thanks for you best wishes. Hope AF comes really soon for you. Don't you hate waiting for it when you want it to come, and then she just pops up when you don't want it.
Minime - GL with your BT today. I'm sure you will be fine and you will move off into the pregnancy thread really soon. Feel free to stay around for awhile.
AFM: 5DPT today. I've got my usual progesterone symptoms of mild cramping and sore (.)(.). I wish I could count on these as being reliable pregnancy symptoms but I know I can't, bit I still find myself hoping that maybe they are this time.
Sorry haven't been ignoring you but my pc at home is sick and being repaired so couldn't get on line on the weekend
Lairdoz I know you don't want to celebrate yet but I'm so happy that something is happening for you I'm sure tomorrow will just confirm your numbers going up
TFF your HPT results sound promising I hope that Friday comes around quickly for you and just confirms things
MM I'm sure everyone understands how you are feeling especially since you don't feel like you are out of the woods yet. We spend all this time worrying about get a BFP and then it seems even when we do we still worry. Sending you some big hugs
AFM well didn't POAS at all even though I was tempted went through the last few days just willing myself along. Have had some cramps on and off like AF is coming but still no sign which is really good. I'm still scared though cause during one of my cycles I made it all the way to BT and still got a BFN I was on the cronine that time not sure if its any different taking the pressaries. So I'm still praying for my little miracle and hoping so so much that tomorrow brings me the joy I've been waiting for
Hello ladies
Boy am i so glad to have made it here!! I've been waiting a while to do a cycle again and am so happy to have 2 little embies with me now, praying that nature is kind to me this time
Big congrats to you Lairdoz
Time it sounds very promising to me, all fingers & toes crossed for you.
Am trying so very hard this time to only think positive thoughts, i have to keep telling myself that i have just as much chance now than anybody and lots of people fall pg RIGHT?!! Am going to just enjoy the fact that i have 2 little balls of life snug safe inside me....oohhhh gives me the warm & fuzzies
Have a good day xx
LisaB - I haven't gone back to aerobics as my FS did say to try to avoid any strenuous/jumping etc during the 2ww, but I was thinking I may go to yoga tonight.
Time4Family - Ohhh, congrats sounds very promising, fingers crossed for you
Yogi - Welcome, hope the 2ww is a quick one for you (yeh right!!!)
Lairdoz - good luck with your second blood test tomorrow
AFM - I have show great restraint & have so far not POAS. Even though I did buy a three pack on the weekend, they're still sitting unopened in my bathroom cupboard. I'm really not feelig confident though, I have absoultely zero, zip, nada symptoms. And to be honest, if I do POAS, I don't think I can face the BFN. Because I have been blessed with having a BFP in the past, I keep trying to compare. Last time I had a little spotting & the on going cramping as my only symptoms but as I said nothing this time!! Oh well, still just one day at a time.
