Alex - I'm so sorry to hear your news. This journey is so hard, just when you think you're getting through it something else knocks you down... 6 weeks will fly by, and I really hope all the tests go well.
Loula - so now you've got the 2ww? Did you have 2 embryos transferred? Fingers crossed it's a sticky one!
Megan - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope the next couple of days go quickly for you... & your levels continue to rise.

SJ nice to have you pop back in and yes a lot can happen if your away an hour!lol
Melbel - Megan, jane and are were all a few days apart with our last cycles but things can really change positions(like my body.lol) but it is great to have someone sharing the ride so closly with you.

happy birthday BW! Try and enjoy your day! There seems to be quite a few Aquarians in here - my birthday next Monday.
BW - hope you have a great birthday today. you have to look at AF as a positive (if somewhat annoying) birthday present - she's just popping in to let you know thimgs are working tje way they should be!
:happybirthday: BW Lets hope that little Leibling gets to share your birthday with you (for at least 12 hours given time zones...) :)
Sorry that AF arrived - doesn't she just have the most inconsiderate nature.
Smiles to everyone else - I am about to spend the day up a ladder painting several ceilings - it is days like this when I wonder why I thought that I would like to be a DIY queen!
Happy Birthday BW! Does AF arriving mean that you start your FSH injections tomorrow?? Melbel, have you started yours yet?
Willow, GL for today hun!
TwoMums, 2 X 14mm follies sound perfect! GL for the repaet scan today!
Loula, the TWW is a killer, and I hate the waiting. I have no suggestions for you on how you can survive this, it just sucks. Hopefully at the end though, it'll all be worth it..
BG your mini holiday sounds divine! And just what the doctor ordered!
:hello:everyone else! This thread is hopping now and so exciting!
sneaking in at work (on a class!) thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! FSH injections remain at the start date of Monday... not sure why they are doing it this way, but it does make things a little easier organisation-wise.
BW
There is so much going on.!!!
Lou - I am in the 2ww with you. 6 DPT today (2 blasts transferrd on day 5). Ive had some weird symptoms this time. I feel nauseus after my evening meal and am hardly sleeping at all, also had some mild cramping on Sunday and Monday. I am not sure to take them as signs of implantation or side effects of the Clexane and Prednisone. I also had a shot of Pregnyl today and one last Friday? ANytway I am feeling pretty positive and praying for good news.
Willow - Good luck for BT today. I hope its a BFP for you :pray: Cant wait to hear.
BW - Hapy Birthday - Hope you have a wonderful day - and that by your next birthday you will have a baby in your arms. I am an Aquarian too - and yes there does seem to be a few, strange really - as I knew none when I was growing up.
Two Mums - best of luck to you and Kim today on the scan .... i love to get the stage when you can see the follicles!
BG - Bummer on the IUI - sorry to hear your news. Hope you have a great times at Lakes Entrance, sometimes you need time away to maintain some sanity. Relax and enjoy as much as you can.
Megan - Hugs to you :hugs: :hugs: . I am sure eveything is going to be fine. Try not to beat yourself up although I know it is so hard.
Hey DB - does that mean that your bt is coming up soon, do you have your date? mine is 26th
I think i read that you have been having a lot of cm i hope it a good sign
Im hearing you on the positive thinking but im back at work on Thursday!!and as some of you know ive been feeling very up and down about ttc and work, but im feeling much more relaxed this time (please ask agin in 24 hours!lol) it doesnt even feel like im in the tww. although i hope it flys
Sorry ladies can i just add a question? TMI TMI TMI
Why when i use the P4 pessaries and lay down for 30min do i still get some running out when i do get back up also when i go to the toilet (no1) do i see it all in the water? As a lady that usually uses crione gel can somone pls help
Hi Lou - Ive always used the pessaries and the same happens to me, Ive been told by FS that it's usally absorbed by that time - try not to worry, but you could call your FS and ask about how long absorption takes. I know mine work becuase I get all the side effects from them including bloat and blurry vision.....and my Prog levels were good when I got my BFP last year.
Not use if that helps???
My BFP is due for 21st....still more than a week away.
Up date just went to the loo and after i wiped i had some blood is that common as ive never had it b4
OK ladies, can we have a drum roll please......
:confetti: It's a BFP!!! :confetti:
OMG, OMG, OMG....
I am shaking and crying and just can't believe it!
I have had sore bb's all week, been gagging on my toothbrush the last two mornings, had cramping late last week, AND shhhh....did two hpts (thanks for the heads up on that one Sushee), both of which were positive (but quite feint), no AF in sight and STILL I couldn't believe it when I heard the nurse say "congratulations"!!!
OMG....OMG
Nurse said my hcg levels were nice and high so that is a bit reassuring. As a lot of you will know, we suffered a devastating loss at 12 weeks last year so the next few months are going to be tough. For this reason, I am not going to make it public knowledge here on BB that I'm pregnant (OMG!) until at least our first scan in a few weeks. I know that a lot of you will understand and support me on this and I know that I can count on you guys, and my friends in the M&L threads, for the support I will need.
I CANNOT thank you all enough for your support. I would not have made it through the last few months without it.
A special thanks must go to BW who has been there with me from the start - sweetie I know you are gonna be right behind me :hug: And also to Keen and Sushee who have been an inspiration and a tower of knowledge for me.
MWA!
Now WHY is it that my mum and best friend are not answering their phones?! :doh:
Will be back later for personals when my hands stop shaking and my heart slows down a bit!
WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!
Congrats willow - i was wondering where you had gone
Lou, sorry hun, just catching up on your posts - re the pessaries, yes, a bit of leaking and strange stuff in the loo are normal from what I've been told.
I was also warned that you can have some slight spotting with the pessaries, this is due to a little bit of damage being done when inserting them, and from what I was told, nothing to worry about.
Willow - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: I am so happy for you!!!! I will pray for you that this one is a nice sticky one!! You must be feeling wonderful. Enjoy it. Lucky you!!! Hopefully your good luck will rub off on us all ! ;)
Woohoo Willow Congrats....The Exodus begins!!!!! YAY!!!!
YAY Willow!!!:confetti:
Sending you loads of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:
Thats two this week - who's next?
I knew it! I felt it in my bones! Esp when I mentioned about the HPT and you studiously ignored me! LOLOLOL!!!!!
Congratulations Willow, my sweet, you so deserve this! YAAAAYYYY!
Awww, thanks girls, you've just set me off again, I'd just stopped crying after talking to my Mum and best friend and now am blubbering again!!
Sushee, I was soooooo going to PM you about the hpt's but just didn't want to jinx myself or count my chickens!
I've had so many dark days to get to this point and now they're all behind me - it's a feeling I hope all of you experience REALLY soon!!
Now, I'm with Taffy - who's next??!!
Please let it be me.xx
I know this has been asked b4 but when does implantation happen and could it be that that is what the blood was on day 3?
lou,
ok, implantation usually happens 7-10 days after fertilisation, so if you transferred a day 2, it would be around 5-8 days after transfer, or if it was a blast, then 2-5 days after transfer. Are you in that window?
Willow, you shoulda PMed! I am hopeless with suspense! And I was most definitely in suspense today with your BT!
Thanks sushee i had a day two Tf one 4 cell and the other 8 cell does that make a difference
You did well to get an 8 cell at day 2! It would depend as well on how fast they progress (so many variables!) At Charlie's cycle, I had two embies transferred at Day 5, but one was far more advanced than the other. They say that the embryo reaches the uterus at day 5 (at blast stage) so anytime after that, implantation can occur. Mostly it's 7-10dpo.
How much spotting are we talking about? And was it pink or brown? (sorry if TMI guys!)
Congratulations Willow - Thats absolutely awesome news - Ive been logging in regularly today to check on your news. I am so happy for you and DH. Pray to god it rubs off on me for my BT next Wed.
Sushee - do you know how long it takes before the HCG levels drop after a pregnyl injection. I had one today and would like to sneak in a HPT on Saturday which is 13 days post blast transfer, but am worried it will read HCG from Pregnyl and not from embie implanting? Ive heard of others who do daily HPT's after administering HCG injections just so they know when the level has flattened and then they can be more confident if they get a BFP after that???? Does this make sense?
YAY Willow!! I've got tears in my eyes I'm so happy for you!:clap: :dance: :happyforyou: :confetti: I'm not sure I can fit in any more happy emoticons, but I'm absolutely ecstatic at this news! As I said earlier, I couldn't hope for better news on my birthday than this! I can so understand why you'd want to keep quiet on this, and my prayers will certainly be with you through these next few months, but I'm quite sure that you'll have another little bub in your arms by the end of the year.
Loula, will be crossing everything and praying really hard that you too will follow in Megan and Willow's footsteps.
Looks like me, Sammi and Mel will all be around the same point, hope we have as good a run as Megan and Willow when it's our turn.
Anyone else running along or just behind Loula?
This may seem totally crazy, but in the general conception threads I used to cry my heart out any time someone got their BFP, but there's not an ounce of jealousy here, just the hugest smile plastered across my face right now! I'm not entirely sure why I respond differently - perhaps because I can relate to the hard journey everyone's had to get to this point. Does anyone else get like that? Or am I just weird?
Having a bad time with the arthritis today... the synarel headaches have subsided, but my hips, knees and ankles are in immense pain. I'm desperately trying to muster the motivation and determination to run through a pilates work out - usually helps.
BW
Yeah it does Shaz. In fact I know of at least one person who did daily HPTs after her pregnyl to watch it leave her system so she would know, if she got a +ve later, that it wasn't the pregnyl. I thought it was pretty clever and probably something I would have done if I used pregnyl (but I am the HPT queen! Lol)
I believe that pregnyl will leave your system at the rate of 1000iu per day, so if you had a 5000iu dose, you can only test 6 days post injection. Do you know what your dose was?
Wow - so much has gone on in just a few days
Sorry BG about the cancelled IUI, I hope you have a good weekend away.
Happy birthday BW and sorry about your AF
Alex - I'm sorry about your news too.
Lou - Good luck through the TWW
Two mums - Good luck with the next IUI
Megan, I have my fingers crossed for you
Willow CONGRATULATIONS YAYAYAYAYAY!
Sorry if I have forgotten anyone, still not too crash hot at this forum business.
Clare
IUI Oct 06 - :bfn:
IUI Nov 06 -:bfn:
IUI Dec 06 - :bfn:
IUI Feb 07 - ?
Just a quick one - sushee thankyou so much for your knoweldge. so 8 cell is good then at day2?
TMI
I wiped once and it was a stringy bit of dark blood so im guessing it was from inserting a pessary, 45 min eariler!
Im also a HPT queen so when do you think i should start testing?lol
Most Day 2s are around 4 cells, so an eight cell is great! Dark blood (brown) usually isn't irritation from the pessary, that would be pink (from fresh blood), so it's possible it's implantation. :crossfingers:
And I reckon I wouldn't test any earlier than 11dpo, but even then it's 50/50 whether you'd get an accurate result. I got a definite -ve at 11dpo with Charlie.
ETA Clare, you're doing great! You'll get the hang of it in no time!
Sushee - my does was only 1500iu - one dose today and one last Friday, so does that mean it should be all gone by Friday morning. I was thinking I would do a HPT tomorrow and Thursday expecting they will show + and then by Friday a -, then hopefully Saturday or Sunday if I might get a ridgy didge BFP. Does that make sense?
Shaz, I missed you in my rambles earlier! Looks like you are also close to the end of the TWW - good luck for testing when it happens!
BW
Yep, that sounds good Shaz. i would do hpts from tomorrow too!
Thanks Sushee - will do - I wont get too comfy with the inevitable line I will get tomorrow. Can you belive that I have hunted down one o fthe HPT that actually reads "pregnant" - saving that one for the real deal. Happy with el cheapo HPT with a basic line for the nxt couple of days.
BW - thanks for thinking of me.
OH MY GOD!!!
Willow - Congratulations :confetti: :confetti: :confetti: I can't believe it two in a few days (is there something in the water & can I have some), I am so absolutely thrilled for you & of course we understand about not announcing just yet.
That has just made my day!
Megan - hang in there, I have a good feeling for you on Friday.
Lou - :stickyvibesgirl: for you.
BW - Happy Birthday!!!
What a wonderful vibe in here atm, lets hope it continues.
Well I did a pg test this morning (yes what an idiot) & of course a BFN because I am only 10dpo so I even knew it would be way too early.
But yet again today I have been feeling quite sick, especially this morning until lunch, didn't want to eat anything so I don't know.
If I'm not pg I must be coming down with something.
Anyway I am going for b/t on Friday which will only be 13dpo but I can't get there on Saturday & be back for work in time because I have to travel an hours drive for b/t so I guess I'll be out of my misery by then.
Jo - 27 (treated endo)
DH - 33
TTC #1 since June 2005
Thank you so much Jo.
Ooooooh, keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you for Friday - not long to go now!
Willow - did you kinda think you were pg?
Do you have major cm because that's what I've been having & it's odd for me to have this much every day.
Jo
Willow - congrats to you on your BFP :dance: thats fantastic news. Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy.
Megan - how are you doing? Fingers crossed your levels continue to rise and rise!
Jo - Sounds to me like you'll be moving out of here very soon. Goodluck on Friday, i'll be keeping an eye out for your BFP :)
Loula & Dream Bub - sending you lots of BFP vibes
BW - hope you had a fantastic birthday
BG - sorry to hear about the cancellation, hope you have a great weekend away.
Clare - how are you going?
Sushee - you are just a wealth of information, i'm always learning something new when i read your posts lol.
Sorry to everyone i missed hope everyone is going well. Nothing happening here, waiting for O time - i don't think there is much chance of us getting a BFP before IVF but it's still worth a try!!
Yeah Jo, I did kinda think I was. The biggest give aways were the cramping last week (although I didn't know if it was AF cramping or not - but I don't usually have AF cramping, and certainly not 4 days before i'm due) and I realised about 2 days ago that my bb's were really sore.
I've been prg twice before and I just kinda had a 'feeling' that I was - can't really explain it. Although funnily enough, with my previous pregnancies I had neither sore bb's or cramping!
OK, this is really gross and WAAAAY TMI but I had the tiniest bit of greenish coloured cm a few days ago (ew) which I'd read some people get when prg - again I've never had this before but that got me thinking also. But I wouldn't say I had any more than normal.
'They' say that cm in early prg is usually 'creamy' if that helps??
Megan - have been thinking of you all day and hope you are hanging in there. Not long to go now and i'm just sure it's going to be the news we want to hear!
