What do you do during the TWW, and after the FET - are you supposed to rest, relax? do anything? do nothing? I think my husband wants to put me on bed rest for two weeks, but I think I'll go mad if I have to sit at home thinking about it the whole time! How do you get through it?
Just wanted to say quickly to Brunette - HUGE congratulations. Fantastic news!!!!!
AFM - Still waiting for my AF to start so I can start my FET after a months break. Laying low-ish in here enjoying some time off from TTC after four months back to back IVF and being able to have fun during some very important birthdays in my family! Hope you ladies are doing well and hope some see some more BFP's before I am back in here again!
Brunette, WOO HOO!! Congrats! That's one heck of a number!! It certainly makes twins sound likely, doesn't it?
Melissal, that's terrible that you'd have to wait so long! I thought it was bad when I had to wait a month... Your Christmas trip sounds awesome though! I wish we had something like that planned.
trueblue, yep, was completely over it, especially since I couldn't drive because one of the s/e was dizziness and I kept feeling like I was veering off the road.
Hi guys, firstly congrats to CK 77 and Brunette! Great news! You must be over the moon.
I had my EPU on Friday and they got 9 eggs, of those7 fertilised. Had the update call today that I was sweating over and all 7 have split 6-8 which is great news. Now just have to wait for Wednesday to see how many make it to blasto. Fingers crossed for all of them! I started the Crinone gel (twice daily) yesterday and I worry that it doesn't "get up"(!@??) to where it has to? It's kind of an akward medication isn't it? :-)
Also, I am so bloated and constipated! I look 6 months pregnant (I wish!!). Is it normal to still be so bloated at this stage? After EPU on Friday, I haven't done my excercise as my tummy is still a bit sore and I am SO tired...
Best wishes to all of you..
K78 - things look good for you. I think a bit of bloating is normal after the EPU - I didn't realise that they don't take the whole "egg" out. They leave the "shell" in and only take the insides of the egg (like an egg white and yolk) The remainng shell then fills up with blood and has to get absorbed by the body. Your hormones will keep the shells growing a bit until your body absorbs them. This can take a while to settle. Eat lots of egg whites and chicken breats (protein and lots of it), lots of water too! This will help the bloatedness, and help your body absorb them back into your body!
Good luck for Wednesday. Gorw little ones!!
K78 - Crinone, ah how I miss thee - NOT! (TMI Warning) I'm quite sure it was getting up there, the issue I had with it was the cottage cheese-ness of it. If you even feel like DTD while you are using it (I didn't), imagine the ummm 'residue' left on DH's willy, poor thing would think he's picked up some crazy STD! I found I had daily headaches while using the Crinone. I've now gone on to Orion Pessaries, they are little cone shaped things as big as the top joint of your little finger, and you have to lay down for 30mins after inserting. I made the mistake last night of whacking it up there, layed in bed to read for a bit then needed to pee, so got up, and my undies ended up with a lovely white gel (has a bit of an oily gritty feel). It's certainly not dignified, but it's all for a reason I guess.
Hopefully you'll get good news on Wednesday and have a decent number to pop on ice. The thing that I kept saying to myself while I was in the TWW after transfer was "these little Blasties on ice, I'm not going to need them for about a year, because I'm going to get a BFP now with my lucky #1 Blastie"
What date is your lucky Blastie going to be transferred to his/her home for the next 9mths?
woohoo brunette I do believe this is the first BFP I have ever witnessed in here woohoo congrats.
Melissa: yes headaches are not a good thing they seem to sort of get stronger and weaker like a wave through the day I have only been hvaing hot flushes at night time and I wake up in sweat pools. other than that I am super super emotionally teary. been having tear filled breakdowns at least oince a day. yes the things we do just to get that precious life changing pink line....
all worth it i'd do it a million times over if it meant getting it.
hello everyone else hope we see some more bfp's in here soon goodluck everyone fx for those in the tww list I know what you mean by dh/dp wanting to put us in cotton wool on strict bed rest I will be apparently for at least a week... am planning on making the baby presents for my sister and sister in laws soon coming bubs that should keep me busy
