Hi all,

Welcome Rach82 Good luck for your transfer this afternoon!

KMond - you nervous yet? Dumb question!! I hope to be reading about your BFP tomorrow night

Hi Maruschke, Tasha, Keta and anyone else I have missed (apologies!!)


4dp2dt and I am freakin' exhausted! The pregnyl has really knocked me around this time. And I am so gassy and bloated. I just want to sleep Implantation (if it's going to occur) should happen in the next day or so. Praying it does!!!!

That's it for now. Seriously contemplating a snooze

take care x

Hi ladies! Thanks for being so welcoming!

Kmond- thanks! And good luck for tomorrow! I'll keep my fingers (and toes) crossed for you.
Keta, maruschke- thanks ladies!
nothing2loose- I hope that little guy is finding a home and implanting nicely for you.
Everything went really well this afternoon. All six little embies continued to progress overnight, and one is cooking in me as we speak!! The other five are good to freeze!! Very happy, just dreading the waiting game that has begun. Any tips or ideas to help with not thinking about it every second of every day?!

Take care

Hey ladies (to all you lovely ladies that have responded to my posts)

I had BT and ultrasound today.

Cried - we finally have seen "Bom Bom's" heart beat. It was beautiful to see a flutter of black and white lol

They said location was perfect - so does that mean I'm prime real estate??? lmao

They still said I have to get to the milestone of 12 weeks. What do you ladies recommend to make the time go faster. I am wishing we had a time machine just to get us over that hurdle. Hard to stay positive and stress free - when you know there is a possibility of losing our miracle. Any suggestions???

Would love a holiday somewhere exotic........but not going to happen (Shame)

Anyway I better go and get some sleeep.

Take care everyone and happy wonderful dreams to you all

Rach - Wishing you the very best. After just having the same......how not to think about it??? Have NO IDEA.

Its hard as you still have the have tests and if you are like me having progesterone pessies - it was nearly impossible for me not think about the whole experience. I think my only saving grace was foxtel

Movies that capture your attention or something that you can be absorbed in.

I hope that helps - if there was something like an on and off switch it would make it a whole lot easier lol. But time sort of goes by and before you know it you will be having bt.

Fingers and toes crossed for you

Take care

NOT so stressed crankydragon (still cranky - THANKS hormones lmao)

Hi Ladies

So........ the news is that I got my BFP!!! We are absolutely thrilled. Can't quite believe it as I was feeling absolutely nothing and was totally convinced that it hadn't worked. Anyway my HCG is 304 which they said is really good and I don't know what my progesterone level is but good enough that my FS said I can stop the crinone which I'm happy about.

Anyway lovely ladies shall be back a bit later on for some persies.

[Softkitty]

Wooohooo kmond!!! That's such awesome news!!!

I hope that today marks the beginning of a smooth and happy nine months!!

Congratulations!!!!!!

[KMond]

Thanks so much everyone - I really appreciate the support - you are all amazing ladies.

Rach82 - thanks alot! No golden tips for the 2ww except to try and keep busy (but don't wear yourself out either). I was much busier this time round than my last 2WW and whilst it doesn't stop you from still worrying and thinking there's a little bit less time to do it in if you've got lots happening and if you "try" and occupy your mind with other things (easier said than done I know). Wishing you all the luck in the world.

Amy, Keta, Saffy, Maruschke - thanks so much for your good wishes I really appreciate it and lots of to you all. xx

Coral - thanks so much hun. The getting stuck in the catheter thing has really turned out to be a good omen!

SCD - if I haven't said it already - fabulous news!!!! Congratulations - so pleased for you!

N2L - thank you so much. Everything crossed for you that you'll also be getting happy news soon. When's your BT?? Hope your coping okay and hanging in there during the 2WW. Is pregnyl the trigger?? I was also awfully, horribly, painfully gassy and bloated in the early days after my transfer - it settled down after the first week though - but it's not nice. xxx

Congratulaions Kmond

Amazing news


Thrilled that we both will be having healthy babies around the same time.


that all is going to be ok til the safe 12weeks is up. I am just hoping it will go quick........


Is there a early trimester group???


Thanks Ladies


baby dust to all

Hi Girls,

I hope you don't mind me jumping back in here. I am nothing if not flakey when it comes to my involvement in these forums. I'm quite into it for a while then it all gets too much and I disappear. I hope you guys understand...

The last time I was hanging around our final embryo hadn't survived the thaw and I was waiting to have surgery to clean up the endo. The surgery was done in July then we had our second stim cycle in August. I was still on a low dose and ended up with three perfect blastocysts (new clinic- old FS did 3 day transfers) but unfortunately the fresh transfer failed.

During the surgery they took a biopsy of my uterus and I have elevated NK cells but due to the fact that there were some major changes (endo cleaned up and blastocyst transfers) my FS wanted to hold off for a cycle on using prednisone. Following that failure, rather than taking the usual month off after a stim, she recommended I go again straight away as we have a limited window of opportunity before the endo becomes a problem again. So, we went straight into an FET using prednisone. It was quite daunting going again straight away as my husband was going to be away in the states for work and I would be dealing with all this by myself. Our transfer was Wednesday 28th September and DH left on Sat 1st and isn't back until this Wednesday. We have been speaking on Skype a couple of times a day but I do not recommend doing it this way!

So, I'm off for the BT tomorrow but have already given up. I have had super light spotting and cramping on and off for a few days but both have escalated today so I'm 99% sure it's all over. Needless to say, I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself...

I hope you don't mind the me-post- I'm keen to get back up to speed with where everyone is up to and hope like hell that we all get what we want soon.

Hi all

Just a quick one from me as I am on my phone on train. The weirdest thing has occurred to me...It is 7dp2dt and I have not had any cramps! I have had a couple of twinges and pinches (few days ago) but nada on the stretching and cramping. Sounds crazy but it worries me.

Back later x

[Keta]

Meg76 - Welcome back . I think all here completly understand the need to come and go at times. Good luck for you blood test today. Hopefully you will be posting good news very soon and will be able to move on from here quickly!

N2L - hopefully the slight twinges were implantation and now you will be like the other girls with recent BFP's and have no symptoms. Oh I really hope so - actually I can not believe how much Im hoping for someone I have not met!

Saffy, Murschke and Rach and anyone I have forgotten (sorry!) I hope you are going well and everything is going as it should be.

AFM - I started my injections on Saturday. I was on my own so took a little while to get the courage to actually do it but got there in the end. I culdn't believe how easy it actually is (says me only 3 days in). My biggest fear at the moment is that I will be an over achiever and produce too many eggs and the cyc;e will get cancelled. Please no...

[Maruschke]

That's promising N2L! Only a week til testing day

Meg good luck for your BT today.

AFM - boring...
