our furgrandbabies still arent here yet another vet trip yesterday arvo.progesterone was down to 12.3 i think so vet said she is close plus she was dilating.hoping they will be here today/tonight but no contractions yet.

Trubabe, was thinking of your dog last night wondering how it was, hope she has her healthy pups soon! Do you have any idea how many she is having?? I think it's great! Your TWW is giong to fly because you will have those little guys to keep your mind buisy!

Dunno why but I have never made it the TWW without POAS! I don't have any self controll when it comes to the end of a cycle! But I have promised myself to wait until BT with the IVF, cuz I did get quite a few fake positives the first 2 IUI's as Pregnyl was still in my system 7DP 1500iu.

Nix76 sending you strength to last the last week babe X First week is the hardest and you have past that, on the downward slope now X

Babytruj sounds like we are first timers together! So excited and scared at the same time! After all of the dissapointment of IUI's, I really have my hopes high with this.
Those lucerin inj sound a bit stingy to me..do you give them yourself or does DH do yours?

Juniper sorry I'm not much help ATM with things, am still learning all of the IVF jargon and not familiar with the meds yet X
Your follies have had one HUGE growth spurt though good going! Is it the same as IUI? Do they like them to be b/w 19-25+ ??
Good luck and I will be thinking of you on Monday XXX
(youll have to tell me what the egg pick up is like, I'm asking everyone cuz I think that is my only scary nervouse bit!)

Take care everyone, and Hi to people I havn't met in here yet XX

[trubabe]

not sure how many, i reckon maybe 2-4 but some shar peis have up to 9 in their first litter.nothing happening yet.if no contractions in next couple hours i have to ring vet again.im exhausted lol

[babytruj]

Trubabe - at least she is keeping you busy and your mind away from ttc!! All the vet visits sound expensive

murraycod - Good luck with your IVF. Are you getting Lucrin injections too? I am so unfamiliar with everything, and have asked the doc for a calendar, but I think certain things have to happen before next stages... I am giving the inj myself - my DH is too scared of hurting me, and it is better to do it myself, I don't hate him then for hurting me

murraycod, I did my first EPU in Nov 08. I still remember how terrified I was. It was my first ever general anaesthetic... At the time we were in the process of finally getting some life insurance and I was so scared that I made sure I had that signed and finalised prior to the EPU. And in the end, it was the easiest part of the whole process! I walked into the room, lay on the bed, had the IV inserted and woke up in recovery feeling more rested than I had in weeks! I had some mild cramping after, but no bleeding. (I had some bleeding for IVF#2, but then none again for #3.) I'm actually looking forward to it this time - two days off work - bliss!!

Hello Ladies,

Just lurking around...trying to get over this 2WW!!!......anyway, just wanting to share some info with you guys ant feedback would be much appreciated....haven't been feeling well since Sunday...feeling very nauseas (whether i eat or not) very thirsty....boobies very sore still....going to the loo frequently and extremely tired....decided to POAS knowing all too well that 7dp2dt was way toooo early...I got a faint BFP...trying not to get excited as IVF #1 ended in chem preg and IVF #2 got a BFP and ended up being an evap line... think i'll POAS again on Friday and see if the line is darker...do you guys think its possible this could be it???

[Mrs P]

Emerald star - you're so naughty hee hee. I can't talk either though. The POAS is hard to resist. I think there are definitely some good signs there. What post-transfer meds are you on? Did you have pregnyl? I think waiting til Friday is a good idea. I know I was caught out with light +ves in my 1st and 2nd transfer which I think was the pregnyl still in my system even after 10 days. Wishing you all the very best of luck

[murraycod]

Emeraldstar I truly hope it is for you X!
I hade fake pos 14DPIUI, but it was 7DP 1500iu of pregnyl.

Emstar I have everything crossed for you. I POAS after 6 days and also got a positive. But I wasn't on anything just a natural FET. OMG I hope this is the one for you.

Em Star - This might be where we part ways, because I also POAS 11dpo, or 6dp5d transfer and got a BFN So I think it's certainly a good sign for you to get a faint positive line as early as you have. I also POAS on 10dpo but stuffed the test up, which is why I repeated it the following day. So Tuesday was not a good day for me. I basically have given up on this round. I don't feel UTD. I don't have any symptoms, not even sore boobs (which I have on other cycles albeit they were negative). I am not in a good place with it all at the moment. We had our best cycle yet, heaps of good quality embies. Two blasties transferred and they were rated by the scientist as the top grade - so why doesn't it work? I don't know what else I could have done. It's just so unfair. To top it all off, we have to attend a 2yo's birthday party soon. So I will have to put on a smile on my dial and go along to see everyone else's kids when I can't have my own!

Sorry for the vent. I am so p'd off by how unfair the world can be.
