Oh Kaybee I'm so very sorry. I know how hard it is when you get a glimmer of hope and then it gets taken away and I know you are probably having so many people say its not over yet etc so I;m glad you are feeling calm about it all. I am praying (and I'm not religious but I've prayed a lot lately!!) that you numbers will in fact have shot up. Hang in there.
Lisa B - two lines awesome!! Here's to it getting darker and a BFP on Wednesday.
Kaybee - what a difficult period of time you are in, you are such a strong woman. I'm hoping you get a speedy resolution really soon. I will be praying really hard for you in case there's a chance the numbers turn around.
AFM: POAS again this morning and two lines again. I guess I just have to wait and see what the BT says about it all.
Wow it's very quiet in here. Congrats to Trea and Lisa, hope the BT gives the results you deserve.
Kaybee - completely understand, it's so frustrating, you want the HCG to be high, then when it isn't high enough, you want it to go back down again so that you can start another cycle. I don't know about you but I actually felt better when I had a chemical if only for the sense that something happened. I hope you are doing OK.
Congrats to T4afamily too - great HCG!!
Hi to everyone lurking in here waiting for their results.
My BT was today and my HCG is 22,273 at 25 dpo so I have my ultrasound next Monday. Still not sure if it's 1 or 2 little ones in there. I can't help it that until I see the ultrasound I can't believe this is real.

Hi ladies, monday didnt go so well. My hcg was 518 which nurse said was border line but they are more worried about my progesterone level as it dropped from 40 to 18 im now taking the pessaries analy as they think my body might absorb them better this way and im off for 3 days to rest. i have another BT tomorrow to see how thing are going but i think our only hope will be if my body absorbs the pessaries better the other way. Im still bleeding which is also not another good thing i will keep you posted on 2mo's results xxxxx
Kaybee, im so sorry to hear your results, its really hard when your in this situation my thoughts are with you. xxx
Ladies im shattered! my HCG level dropped to 509 from 518 and my progesterone dropped from 18 to 13. the doc told me to stop medication today. I knew from the the start that i shouldnt get my hopes up and i was right but you never want to believe its going to come to an end. I feel like iv let everyone down and dont understand why my body wont obsorb the progesterone. Im so hurt and just dont know what to do iv never felt so alone.
I just wanted to say thank you all for every bit of support, your all wonderful women. xx
oneday I am so, so sorry to hear your news. It's such an awful time when you have been given some hope to see it go. Have you made an appointment to see your FS to review? Some women I know have injections which can help with progesterone levels, maybe this will be able to help you in the future. Regardless, what you are experiencing is heartbreaking, if feels like you can never get excited about anything because it's going to be taken away from you. Please know that you do deserve all this time, pain and effort to be rewarded with a healthy baby. I remember a nurse taking what must have been my millionth BT saying that when she was going through IVF she felt like every failure was the opportunity for her doctor to refine the protocol to be used to get her pregnant. I hope this is what happens for you my sweet. I am sending you a huge and the strength you need right now

Oneday - I'm so terribly sorry. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling now. I wish there was something I can say to take it all away. It's just not fair and you are so entitled to feel it's not fair.
AFM: My HCG is 444 and P4 is 90 (i'm on crinone). I'm really scared of the scan in 2 weeks, but hoping for the best. I feel really guilty that I'm successful so far when so many ladies here have been on IVF so much longer than me. There really ought to be some sort of que.
Thanks for the congrats. Yesterday I was 14dp2dt - I think that's how your write it. 14 days past 2 day transfer. Not sure how this translates into DPO.
Had 1 Blastie put back yesterday and they froze 1 too. I'm a little peeved. My FS is away and am being looked after by a lovely FS in his absence, but 2 days ago I had 6 embies looking good and now we have one on board and one in reserve. This was going to be our last IVF. We are out of cash!!! Unless we sell the house that is. So we are crossing our fingers big time. Everytime I had a blastie put back through FET I could feel them implant within 24 hrs. Only one of those made it and then died - I actually got some blood spots in my pants with that one which gave me hope. However this time I have had NO IMPLANT PAIN or BLOOD SPOTS which worries me so much.
Oh, why is TWW so painful???
Lairdoz and Lisa - so happy for you guys.
Oneday - really sorry honey - I def know how that feels.........
Mindhugs - don't panic!! Every pregnancy is different and I'm sure that goes for implantation too. Maybe it's going to implant tonight or maybe it already has but it's in a slightly different spot and that's why you didn't feel it. I (we all) know how desperate that feeling is just praying it will work. It's not fair that money has to be such a big factor in making these life decisions, is it? I was looking around my FS's office today at all the things I have paid for for him - laptop, new artworks, lovely winter coat.... Good luck with this cycle
Lisa - so so so happy for you Have a lovely, happy, healthy pregnancy and birth sweetie
AFM - I guess I should get out of this TWW thread now as I think I've been here for more than 2 weeks. My hcg is still going up but FS told me today to expect a mc soon (around 95-97% chance) because numbers are still so low. If that doesn't happen then I'll have a scan in a couple of weeks to confirm there's no heartbeat and then, most likely, a d&c. Can't wait.
I don't want to bring the mood down in this hopeful thread. The TWW is hard enough already. I will be lurking though to check on all of those Big Fat Positives!!! Best of luck ladies
BT Dates:
Lisa - 30 June
mumoncemoreplease - 1 July
Yogi - 2 July
This is my first post. I am on the 1st FET from my 2nd full stim cycle of IVF, and well into the TWW. My BT is on 14 July, but I usually get my AF beforehand, so I should have a good indication how this cycle is going by next Friday. Am feeling positive about this one though....just impatient!
Hi everyone
I'm back on TWW exactly a month after my last attempt - it's really good to see that there have been a few BFPs in that time - congratulations everyone!
Hope this month will be the one!
No symptoms - just sore BB's, which could be the crinone. Gee doesn't crinone play with your emotions. I've been so "whoah is me" "why me" "I'm sick of herbs, acupuncture, meditation, positive thinking,IVF drugs - do I really have to do all of this just to fall?"
EHM - my BT is 14th July if I don't get my AF by Friday. Good luck with your TWW.
Kaybee - thanks hun. The emotions get the better of us all at times. My poor DH.
Wishing everyone the best of luck. I hope it's your last TWW in a very long time.
Mindhugs - don't worry about no symptoms. I was so on the watch for symptoms and had written myself off for the month. I did a HPT and low and behold I had a BFP. I still don't have any real symptoms.
Hi everyone, I guess it's time to join this crazy thread of waiters. Today I had my first ET from my first cycle of ivf and I honestly didn't think I'd be making it this far. It's great to be here!!
One question: what do people do in terms of diet in the 2ww? I have been scouring for tips (anything to increase my chances) and so far my list is:
Do's: 3 litres of water. folate (obviously). good amount of protein. pineapple/walnuts/cashews, (aid implantation?), fresh fruit & veg (are there any bad veg?), wholegrains.
Don'ts: all the good stuff: sex, alcohol, caffeine (well I am still having a tiny bit), baths. chilli (how much is too much?). exercise that gets your body temp up (i'm doing none just to be safe). Junk food. deep sea fish, soft cheese, cold meats, leftovers that haven't been reheated very hot (listeriosis).
