Oh, is that all Karena? I don't think anyone would even bat an eyelid at that type of question - you should see the stuff they discuss in the AO section. I'm not an expert on such things, but I imagine that all lubricants which have a spermicide incorporated would state as much. You may just have to ring the manufacturer to be 100%, or ask a pharmacy.
Hi guys
Kerri- glad that things are going well with Antonia, sounds like you are getting a lot out of it so i think that is great!
Sparkles, how many weeks preg are you? I dont know a lot about the prog levels but your Hcg is great!! Wohoo, i am so so happy for you. What did your FS say, have you celebrated, oh how exciting!
Shannon, hey dont you hate it when you have to pay all your money over, its just like ehhh. But its exciting too, time will go sort of fast now for you, its not long and i wish you all the best.
Hi Karena, hahaa dont blush too much, i think everyone in here is pretty cool with asking all sorts of questions. Its not as though IVF is not invasive!! Heee!! I dont know anything about the preseed stuff, but good luck with it! I feel sad at the mom, havent BD with DH for so long now, and its such an important part of our relationship (or any for that matter). I feel sort of unattractive to him and just blah with the Crinone, and i dont think we are supposed to in 2ww. Oh, cant wait til the waiting is over!
Rols- how is DW today? Just got to keep thinking positive, i have been trying really hard this cycle. I think last cycle i was more negative but DH was away, and this cycle is way better because i have DH's support. Your DW is lucky, from what you write on here seems like you are a great guy and its great that you are so interested and caring in the whole IVF journey. How many more days?
Shelly- im doing ok. Wait is almost over!!! How are things going with you? It will be so cool if you are preg then go part time at work, so much less stressful and all that.
Ellie- how are you going today?
Hi Sonya, how are things going for you?? Yeah, not long!
Me- well, i had the worst pains this morn. Agggh. I feel like crap. Worked nights last night and was so busy and had no break for 10 hours. Some really sick babies Went to bed this am and had cramping and kept waking up. Im not sure if its constipation (sorry TMI)...... or what. Driving me nuts, only 2 more doses of Crinone yay. Did another test this am, with digital. It said result will come up in 3 mins but some in as little as 1 minute. The test sad "pregnant" in less than 1 minute. Soooo not getting too ahead of myself but just have to wait and see. The witch is due tomorrow so will just see. So tired though. And hungry!! I hope we all get some BFP's in here soon. I think we all deserve it, sometimes it just seems so unfair. We try so so hard and then to have no result, well it sucks. And to miscarry, that sucks too. I dont understand why. All beautiful (inside) happy people deserve to give life. Oh well, enough of my ranting.
Hi to anyone i have forgotten. Sending heaps of
hey all xo

Praying for you all xoxoox
I will be checking in to hear good news ok
thanks everyone xoxo
Hi Mel. well first of all I really hope this is the one for you. It sounds like it is and that is awesome.
Thanks for your nice words too.
I know what you mean about the BD (I have no idea what BD/DTD stands for so I hope I got the right abbrev.) although I thought you could during the TWW? I think the crinone is the main issue for DW understandably.
We're both a bit over the whole thing at the moment (the TWW). She has no symptoms at all today (incl. not being tired which is weird as she's still on the crinone) and I think she's leaning more towards believing she's not preg. I'm a bit down about it all too and sick of not knowing. I can handle anything that is thrown at me and am great in a crisis, but am crap at waiting and not knowing stuff. It's a real weakness. It must be manifesting itself in other ways because I've been having a major cow at work today about something which is so trivial and political that its ridiculous, but nonetheless I've been totally anxious and worked up about it. This isn't like me because at work (and life) I generally have a "I don't give a s^%& what people think of me" and I don't really make much of an effort to get along with morons. What I really need at the moment is a holiday, but I'm trying to stockpile all my leave in case DW gets pregnant.
Anyway, I'll be over it tomorrow, I'm just whinging.
Happymel - Good luck with the BT tomorrow im sure your levels are going to be nice and high and a great big BFP!
Rols - Its nearly over, good luck om Tues!!
Big Hi to everyone else! Hope everyone is doing great!
Well first injection over with.. poor DH was white as a sheet! And was like a little kid jumping off a diving board.... 1 2 3... 1 2 3 ....1 2 3 we got there eventually and now it will only get easier!
Posted in TWW thread, but anyway, a BFN for us with the POAS test and normal AF cramps now here.
The thing that irritates me the most is the fact DW had so many symptoms in varying degrees, and apparently most of them can be put down to that fricken crinone. She didn't imagine the metallic taste either, which is a classic sign, and said it was quite noticeable. So again, maybe that has something to do with higher progesterone levels (ala crinone). Dunno, very over it at the moment.
Rols, when is the actual blood test? I tested BFN the day before mine even though it was a BFP. Don't give up hope just yet! Do you have any embryos on ice? If you can do a natural FET cycle you avoid the crinone - I found it much better as I knew that anything that happened differently was down to the embryo, not the side effects of other drugs.
BT is on Tuesday so two days away. I guess we are foolish for testing beforehand as I said we'd never do it. The only reason we did it is because of the AF cramps which started off mild, but are now at normal strength.
She's still go a little bit of light blood every time she goes to the loo, and definitely doesn't feel pregnant, so we're both pretty comfortable that it's a BFN.
We're both pretty good now, DW upset to start with but back to her normal happy self now. Got two high quality blasties frozen as well
Thanks heaps for the advice BW. It's nice to be able to talk to other people.

Rols im so sorry it really does suck. I too have been having AF pains on and off but I'm not due to test for another 11 days. I dont feel pregnant or different or anything at all just keep getting these cramps.
Hi guys, sorry have been AWOL for a bit, life kinda caught up with me a bit!
Exciting news, we are starting IVF/ICSI next cycle, I have my nurses appointment to learn how to give myself injections on the 12th and an embryology evening on the 20th, AF is due around the 25th I think. We are really happy to be starting the process, we can only afford to do one cycle, and then we will have to wait until mid next year if its unsuccessful, but I have lost a lot of weight, been doing acupuncture and everything else so fingers crossed it works!!!
Just sitting here waiting to hear from Mel!@?!
Well I've decided I am officially having a 'bad run'...only I would have the luck of having a miscarriage and gastro at the same time!!!! Have had the worst and sickest weekend I can remember...thank goodness it's over...now I am officially back on the TTC rollercoaster...let the games begin!
mornong all ,well i start my synarel in the morning and cant wait its finally here yay..
MUMOF5 ..i pray for you hun that the af like pain goes away and hope to hear of a bfp really soon take care and hang in there
eveyone else good luk with eveything have a nice week
Definitely no success this time around. AF finally came, but in a rather unusual way compared to normal - light pink blood, together with old blood, then clots. Ongoing cramping and pain too which is unusual for DW. (Neg BT as well, by the way).
The clinic agreed that an early miscarriage was possible, as DW had many pregnancy symptoms which just stopped suddenly the other day, even whilst she was still taking the crinone. She stopped the crinone this morning but the fatigue ended abruptly on Friday along with everything else.
Either way, it's a negative, so we'll be doing an FET at some point in the near future.
I might be a bit quieter than my usual rambling self for a few days as BB is serving as a bit of a reminder (along with heaps of other things!).
Went to bed this am and had cramping and kept waking up. Im not sure if its constipation (sorry TMI)...... or what. Driving me nuts, only 2 more doses of Crinone yay.
