Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014

[thirdtimelucky77]

Yay for the water Miss B - how are you feeling btw? I know what you mean about the age thing - but hey 60is the new 50 or so I keep telling myself hahahaha.

That fertility Cd sounds amazing! I wish I had've done that! It sounds brilliant! I think you've done everything you could possibly done so now sit back and just enjoy the ride as much as possible?

Well I just had my bloods and the ultrasound done... 3 follicles on my right side size 9, 16 and 17 - I'm not really sure what that means but I don't think it's even relevant in FET other than to show you were going to ovulate?

My lining is 8 - the ultrasound lady said my FS liked between 7 and 8 so I guess that's good? They have given me the ovidrel (trigger injection). They will call this afternoon and tell me whether to use it I suppose? I'm only day 10 so I don't know whether that's good or bad? Unfortunately my DH is going away tomorrow - so he will be away for my transfer day.... Not much I can do about that really I suppose, and if I triggered tonight then I guess transfer will be this Saturday - which I'm thrilled about as it's on a weekend, so I can kind of chill out afterwards I guess. Although I'll have all 4 kids alone as our nanny has the weekend off - and we have a new nanny starting on Thursday (devastated our current nanny's time has come to return home so pretty emotional about her leaving as well.

Damn Clomid - I can't stop crying!!! And I've put on 5kgs!!!! Is that normal? How is everyone else going? Judging by the list everyone is fairly quiet in here... So I feel like my posts are all about me as I don't have anyone else to write about? Sorry

Juniper how are you going in the 2ww? And TT40 - have you tested again? I strongly encourage testing at all times, especially in the middle of the night etc when you can't sleep.... I am hopeless!!! I hope you are both surviving the dreaded wait! Symptoms or anything to report?

I have a last question... If I have to use the trigger - does that mean if I tested I would get false positives? I'm assuming the trigger is hcg and would give you a positive pg test result? Does anyone know how long it takes for the trigger to leave your system? What are you supposed to do btw - just start testing from the day after trigger and keep testing until you get a negative so you know the trigger is out of your system? And then start testing again for a result? I've even forgotten - after a day 5 transfer, when are you supposed to start testing to realistically get a positive result, if you are pg?

Sorry for all the questions ladies.... Its just been so long and I'm feeling a little bit anxious now that it is all becoming so real... Xx

Nothing to report here. Still early days - too early for implantation or symptoms. Just run down and tired and a bit under the weather...

3rdTL, yes, the trigger will give you false positives. The time it takes to be metabolised varies from one woman to the next. If you want to test it out, you can start the day after or wait a few days. The key will always be whether the tests are getting lighter (trigger disappearing) or darker (real BFP with increasing levels). Very few women get a BFP before 10dpo (5dp5dt) and you could still have faint (false) BFPs from the trigger that early (although, it's also possible the trigger could be gone by then).

Thanks Juniper! I really ppreciate the info - I have everything crossed for you hoping these a bfp coming your way

No trigger today -BT again tomorrow and then they expect to trigger me tomorrow.... Secretly I'm hoping I surge tomorrow before the BT and then idont have to use the trigger.... Xx

With my trigger shot cycles (all fresh cycles) I would basically start testing really early on (something like 1 or 2 days post transfer) and I would see that faint line, and then it would disappear and I'd know that the trigger left the building lol. In the BFP cycle that resulted in an early m/c, I tested very early on, and then there was a day which gave me a negative result, and then the line came back and I knew I had a bfp. But that was in my crazy, mad woman obsessed, queen of POAS days lol. I'm not even thinking of buying a test, sooooooo scared of another you know what...
FX that you'll not need the trigger shot hun!

[~TT40~]

=( still negative... I've lost hope.

Have been offline for a few days - sooo much to catch up on!

Ooooo GL to all the ladies in TWW and waiting for transfers - i have my fingers crossed for you.

AFM, I'm cycle tracking again this month, nothing so far and another BT to check for O tomorrow. Hoping it comes up and DH and I can get down to business! My gyno says she has all faith that I can conceive without assistance, it will just take time. However lately I have been going through that phase where everyone and everything reminds me of babies - from friend's kids, to baby clothes and even pregnant strangers in the street. Not sure if anyone else goes through this and I'm trying not get disheartened but it just seems to be a constant reminder IFYKWIM?

Lots of baby dust to all - we need some BFPs in here!!!

[juniper76]

TT40, FX it's just a "late bloomer". Happens a lot with FETs. :hugs:

Joski, GL with the b/t and catching the egg! I agree we need some BFPs, but you might have to lead by example...
