Rach I can't believe your friend did that she really must not have been thinking! It is really hard when people don't think before they say things. I know often they wouldn't mean to have been hurtful but it doesn't make it any easier.

My trigger went ok and Im pretty sure I ovulated so now its wait and see because therest is out of my hands. I was so so bloated over the weekend and had to pee constantly. Not sure if this was from the trigger but either way it was really uncomfortable. On a positive my viens are so happy they will not be *****ed for a while - Im really bruise and with the warm weather coming its getting harder to cover up and the "I donated blood" excuse is only going to last so long

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and a positive week aead.

HI Keta, good luck for your tww!! Are you solo in the tww, its weird normally there is more people, hopefully you will have a tww friend soon. My arms bruise really badly from blood tests too, it is embarrassing but most people at my work know about ivf so its not too bad.

Rach- thats really bad timing, its like people do things like that on purpose!! We had a similar thing happen, the weekend we went away to celebrate DH's 40th his brother txted the morning of to announce they were utd ( unexpectedly) and due when we would have been if we didn't miscarry-omg I could NOT believe the bad timing, Dh waas so upset. I'm having a medicated FET to answer your question, the first FET I did I had spotting through the whole tww so I don't trust my body to act normally when its meant to!

Hi everyone else, hope you're keeping dry if you are in Vic xx

afm- had 9 tubes of blood taken this morning to check if I have a clotting disorder causing my m/c, my gut feeling is no but I'm no expert so will wait and see.

[Maruschke]

Saffy - 9 vials? That's a lot! I hope for you that the results come back all clear.

AFM - CD6 here, CD7 scan tomorrow after 100 mg clomid CD2-6. Any idea what size follies I should have?

Sorry for the lack of persies, clomid induced headache.

It's so quiet in here...

Scan this morning, 3 big follicles, 16.5, 16 and 13.5, and 2 around 11. What the? I have to go back for another scan in 2 days to make sure none of the small ones pick up. Looks like I'll be triggering thursday CD9 for IUI CD10.

This seems so wrong to me. Lining was 6.5mm what seems like 2 days before O, is that thick enough?

[Keta]

M - it is pretty quiet in here isn't it. I hope your headache has eased and you keep just those three big follies. I have no idea about lining (they just told me mine was good this time and I didn't ask what defined good/bad) - sorry. Hope it alll goes well.

Saffy - yep it looks like it is just me in the 2ww. So I guess I'll post to myself if I start to go to insane

Not sure if this is normal (Im using prgesterone pessaries) but I am having a lot of cramping. It is way to early for implantation (trigger was Friday night) so hoping my body is at least going to give any possible fertilised eggy a chance. It has been such a wierd cycle (I supose first time using injectables will do that!) because I started with 2 big follies and one small. Then Wed I had what I thought was o pain then at scan just one follie on the right. So they triggered and then on Sunday morning I was certain I had the same 'o' pains. Hopefully we caught the egg and it is getting ready to be very sticky. Argh two weeks of this!

[Saffy]

maruschke- I think 6.5 is ok, cos it just has to be over 8mm and grows 1mm a day ( from memory). I don't know much about follies wih IUI cos with ivf the more the better so I hope everything is set to go.

keta-I think some peopel get cramping with progesterone, I don't though. That sounds confusing, god knows whats going on, my (natural) cycle was weird this month too so maybe its something in the air xx

If you triggered friday night you probably ovulated sunday morning so that sounds about right . I wonder if the two big follies ovulated on wednesday/thursday, then the little one caught up and ovulated sunday? That's so weird but fx it works out for the best. Sorry I can't help with cramping as i get it at weird times through my cycle too.

maruschke- I think 6.5 is ok, cos it just has to be over 8mm and grows 1mm a day ( from memory).

Phew thanks so much! I just did an OPK and it is negative so I have at least another few days to get to 8 mm. Where are you at? I'm sorry I've lost track... best of luck with the FET. When do you get your BT results back?

My next scan is thursday at 6.10 am. Holy Cow.

DD1 just walked into the garden and saw how much the bok choy has grown and said "holy smokes' .

All those ladies in the TWW.........i'm here for the ride too! I'm new to the forum, so just found this thread about the dreaded tww . Love to know if anyone else has experienced thick "snotty like" mucous after a ET? It started about 5 days after my ET (it was a 6 day old frozen blastie)...............on day 2 after ET had really bad cramps but just a few little twinges since then. None of these symptoms were present for my last ET earlier in the year. We have our test on tuesday next week, so only a few more days, I really don't want another BFN! Wishing us all BFP's!

[Maruschke]

Snot is good!

I've had snotty CM every pg. Hang in there!
