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).
I don't know why I am feeling particularly impatient this time around....
Mindhugs - good luck with your TWW also! Sounds like we will both know either way at around the same time. I have no symptoms either, and have been reading way too much into every little twinge.
Saraz - congrats on your first ET. Hope it sticks! I am not sure whether it still applies to the TWW, but my naturopath advised me to reduce dairy and wheat as part of a pre-conception diet. Otherwise it sounds like you have the main do's and don'ts on your list.
Saraz - sounds like you're doing all the right things! I'm with you on the break from exercise - just to be safe , didn't know that chilli could be bad? I think all fruit and veg are good, but pre-made salads could lead to listeria -but you probably know that already! How long until you test?
Mindhugs - I'm with you, it's not fair I haven't decided what to do if this one doesn't take. I want to keep going, but it's hard to not feel as though I'm just throwing money away.
ehm - hope this is the one for you!
I have no symptoms yet. Not that I ever have, but I've never had a bfp either! Early days still I guess.
fx everyone!
Kass & Ehm so sorry to hear that your news . Hope you are keeping well and I suppose when you are ready you'll jump back on the TTC wagon again
tru good luck with your 2WW hope that DH's little swimmers have made it and that a little embryo is starting to form
Mindhugs hope your still hanging in there fingers crossed you can change the tide of this thread.
AFM hubby was given the all clear on Friday so it was a huge relief. Spent the weekend doing the BD so hope we have managed to catch my egg so guess I'm on a natural 2WW either way I know that in a few weeks I'll be back on the IVF rollercoaster or deliriously happy that I managed to get the job done without help.
