Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Good luck to everyone in the 2ww!
AFM - We did ivf again, and l feel so guilty because l didnt tell anyone. Just felt that l was feeling too stressed and the pressure, just obsessed and reading the forums and consulting Dr Google. So this time l decided to stay away from the forums, from hpt, from google, from the internet at all. I didnt test at all! I cant believe it! I did 5 eggs and only 2 fertilised and we transferred 2 blastocysts. I got to the blood test with no period, and the results came back positive but with very low hcg levels, only 61 at 16dpo (last wednesday), they repeated blood test last saturday (3days later) and the hcg levels were 247 at 19dpo. I have been cramping since las Sunday on and off, it feels as if af is coming and i have sore low back. And then last night i went to the toilet and when l wiped there was some pinkish-orange CM, only when l wiped, i panicked and this morning l went to the clinic again for another blood test, and the nurse says the numbers are looking good. Hcg 678, Estrogen 16.3??? Not sure of the number, i was too nervous, and Progesterone 340, no pessaries this cycle, just 2 Pregnyl 1500 shots, one the day of the transfer, and one 3 days later. So, its BFP!! We are still feeling cautious, trying not to get too excited, because is early days, just praying everything goes well. If only the cramps go away, l would be more relaxed...

Massive congrats Caty! Well done hun, I don't blame you not wanting to tell anyone, I was going to do the same this cycle. Good luck hun & FX for a sticky baby xxx
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Congrats CatyO!!!!
Afm I too am shocked with a BFP confirmed by the clinic today. Another BT on 22nd to see that things are progressing and a scan in three weeks, possibly longer cause of Christmas.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Congrats Jane!!!! It IS so nice to see some BFPs in here finally, it has been a bit of a drought. Enjoy ladies, and may your little embies be very stricky xxxx
Would you mind sharing your symptoms during your 2ww Caty and Jane? Would love to hear what you've had at what point. I'll pop in to the 2WW to have a lookie if you can be bothered. Thanks girls
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Miss B the TWW threadis very quiet these days. In terms of symptoms I had some cramping and sore lower back as though AF was coming. I think my sense of smell is becoming increasef too. Had one day where I felt a little queasy but think that was because I had been super busy at work and didn't stop for lunch as opposed to being pregnancy related. Most of all I felt nothing symptom wise.I
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Thanks Jane! I've got cramping on and off and feel bloated but that's probably because I'm trying to drink the 8 glasses of water each day! lol. It's so great to read about you and Caty's BFP, it gives me great hope. Good luck hun xxx
1 more please, thanks sweetie . I don't think I'll be testing, much like Caty, I feel terrified this time lol! I feel bloated & crampy on and off during the day, but I think it's still discomfort from the transfer and all the water I'm trying to consume (once my old ACU lady told me that drinking plenty of water is crucial, and since I am a terrible drinker, the 8 glasses of water is killing me!!).

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Thanks girls!
Congratulations Jane
Miss.B - The main symptom or the only one that I thought for sure it had to be related to pregnancy, was sore and veiny boobs at 5dp5dt. I only have had sore and boobs when I have been pregnant, and when I have been on pessaries, this time I wasn't on pessaries and the sore boobs started 3 days after my 2nd pregnyl shot, I didn't think it would be because of Pregnyl.
I had other "symptoms" but I am not sure if they were pregnancy related... I started cramping since 8dp5dt, which was 1 day before my expected period, and had been cramping until yesterday. Also sore lower back until yesterday. A bad heachache at 4dp5dt and breakdown, I bursted into tears watching a movie, and I am not a girl that cries watching a sad movie...I was very tired in the afternoons, very sharp pains when I sneezed and like pulling a muscle at night if I rolled over, it felt as if I pulled a muscle close to my ovaries and it was very painful. during the day I had lots of uterine pain, like shooting, needles and lotion discharge, I am a very dry girl after ovulation, but then again Pregnyl could have caused that?
What I did different this time was to stay away from the internet and hpt lol, also this time I had some herbs from my acupuncturist.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Thanks Jane and Caty for sharing your symptoms. I've convinced myself mine are disappearing fast lol. On top of all that I am getting another cold . Went to visit my OH's daughter and her little family on Sunday, the 6 month old was running a fever a few days in a row and now it looks like I'm getting a cold/virus myself. Boo. My BT seems like years away! Still determined not to test. I'm already thinking if this cycle is not good, I'm going again early next year lol. I was talking to the embryologist and asked her if she thought frozen sperm was better than fresh. She said in her opinion fresh is best. Now I'm kicking myself that I didn't ask my FS on what to do before we started the cycle. We had some swimmers frozen last year, and initially OH was going to have fresh swimmers taken out in this cycle but at the last moment he freaked out and we went with the frozen.. meh.
How is everyone travelling? How are you going Juniper?
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014
Congrats on the BFPs girls! lovely to hear some baby news!
AFM - the FS has made me take a second lot of clomid in this cycle since my hormones had not lifted at all. Had an ultrasound and BT this morning with a 16.9mm follicle and will call me this arvo to let me know when i trigger, or if we just use it as a booster. Fingers crossed for this cycle working as been told no more clomid cycles, and then I need to have the dye through the ovaries test and possibly another lap for endo before FS will start me on a new plan whch will probably be letrozole or FSH. Not sure if will be used in IUI or not.
