Hi
Lieve good luck with the BT on friday, it definately is one of the most anxious times we have to go through, fingers crossed with sticky vibes for you!
Kelly D wow that is great one stim cycle, unfortunately for me i am a poor responder but this time we retrieved 12 eggs and thawed 6 from a previous cycle and only one from each was good which is what they have transferred. We where hoping this time to get some to freeze so i wouldnt have to go thru all the stim cycles each time.
This is our 3rd cycle, first one retrieved 6 eggs and found no sperm with dh back in 2009. After we picked our selves up from that news we found a donor o/s.
Now in a clinic in brissie, our last cycle was back in April and they got 6 eggs and 2 fertilised had a day 3 transfer and one stuck but unfortunately m/c at 6 weeks.
So really hoping that these 2 stick as would love to have twins and just get on with life.
Fingers crossed for all of us, sending out lots of baby dust to you all.
I'm so happy and simply cannot believe it. I think it takes time till I realize it is really true.
Lieve, I've been having cramps since Friday, which was 6 days after ET. I was sure every day that AF would arrive that day, it was just the same feeling. No other symptoms, no breast tenderness either, so I was pretty sure I was not pregnant. So Lieve, you have every chance, and cramping DOES seem to be a good sign
KellyD, Blossom, good luck for your cycles as well! I cross my fingers for all of you!!
Blossom, yeah I was so lucky when I had my first stim cycle. I've got PCOS so I reckon that as I was only ovulating about once a year I must have had heaps of eggs . I had 30 eggs retrieved at my EPU of which 18 fertilised and 15 made it. We used up 7 however to get DD and of the 8 frosties 3 were used this cycle to get 2 to transfer. Just remember though, "it only takes one" which is soooo true. I hope you are still hangin in there.
Lieve: Crinone is a bugger and can make you have all kinds of symptoms, but cramping is also a good sign so I have my it is good cramping.
Well I did a POAS today and it was "-tive" although I shouldn't be surprised as it is only 5dp5dt but I have had some really strong cramping - stretching sensations and my nipples have been really sore. I'm also getting a sore lower back but as I also have a UTI at the moment the back pain might be associated with that. I went to the Dr yesterday to get some antibiotics so hopefully they will kick in soon as I feel horrid already without having the UTI plus I have a teething baby to deal with as well. At least we are going to Melb this weekend, so that will give me a distraction although we are going to a childs birthday so I'm sure we will get asked "when will you be having another"......
oh well another POAS tomorrow.... yes I'm an addict...
Well peeps, this 2WW is the worst thing ever! Four more days till my blood test :-( Though, I feel I know the result already... Sounds gross, I've had this strange dark brown discharge since Sunday with PMS pains. Can't stand it anymore, but oh well at least work is keeping me so busy. Though, all I want to do is curl up and lie in bed all day! DH won't let me, telling me to keep going just forget about everything till Monday. Oh I hate Mondays!
I know Sweetie, the TWW feels like forever it is almost like time purposely goes slow..
I did another POAS this morning and "-tive" again, with DD it was around this time that I got that second line so I am now 99% sure this time didn't work but I still have 5 more days until BT unless AF arrives on Sunday when she is due.
Im hearing you girls, it feels like time is going backwards i keep waking up thinking i am a day ahead and then realise im not aaargh...
Is anyone doing anything different to try to make them stick??? I have accupuncture and on alot of progesterone and blood thinners but apart from that avoiding coffee and all forms of caffeine..
Fingers crossed for all of us xx
Dinnie - Congratulations, that's great news. Best wishes for H&H 9 months.
Blossom - I also pulled out all the stops this time with acupuncture, lost of rest, no running this time, striving for a 'zen' like state at work... I can't recommend anything else though i'm afraid...just lots of positive thinking.
KellyD - give yourself a few more days, if AF isn't due until Sunday that still a good sign. Fx for you.
Sweetie - I feel your pain of waiting
AFM - well, I was at the movies on Tuesday night and was suddenly in such excruciating pain and breaking out in a sweat and all nauseus I had to leave half way through - DH came and picked me up and I was in sobs of tears - bloody crinone! It's the first time I've lost it since starting the cycle, only now fully realising what a strain this all is. Couldn't sleep at all Tuesday night, was climbing the walls in pain and felt literally like ripping my uterus out - this was nothing like cramps, more like contractions. So, emotionally low, I caved in and POAS on Wednesday...and +tive. Didn't trust it, so tried again this morning and +ive again. We're in shock, DH and I were given less than 1% of a chance to have a child together (we still have our donor sperm in back-up storage), and it might just be happening. Hanging out for BT tomorrow before I truly accept it.
Thanks Blossom. I think it's an especially long and stressful journey for couples like us. I read your donor is also from o/s - known or unkown? Ours is a friend of DH, who came out to Oz last year to do all this for us...we felt a bit weird telling him last week that this time the biopsy was successful, but he's been absolutely lovely and excited for us (after all we put him through!).
Hi
Lieve ours is unknown. It certainly is a really hard journey.
AFM I just poas and i know it was to early but it was -tive....aaaarrrgh! I have been having cramping etc and as i am on progesterone i dont get my AF still i stop all the drugs.
My transfer was last Friday so 6 days past transfer but i am also on pregynl and lots of progesterone so i would have thought that the pregynl may have shown up maybe as well... But no only one big fat line!
Not due for BT till next friday i am praying that they are going to stick but unfortunately i shouldnt have done it as i feel sooooo negative and depressed now.
Lieve,
I'm so happy for you!!!! Congrats!! It sounds like a miracle So BT will be tomorrow? Good luch with that!
You have really strong symptoms, wow!!
Blossom,
That is what I did too, lots of rest, no coffee or tea, no strenuous exercises, healthy food, lots of vitamins. Good luck!!!
KellyD,
Don't give up, I think it's too early to test if your BT is next week only. Just keep up and I wish a huge BFP for you next week!!
Wantaminime,
Thank you for your kind words I'm sending you lots of baby dust for your next cycle!!!
AFM - I still do not have symptoms, only I feel a bit tired. I hope that is normal!!!
Blood test results in and it is a BFP!! HcG is 550, which I think is good, at least I don't have to do any more tests until the scan at 6 weeks. Incredible, this is a miracle, after 3 years of trying & 2 years of IVF finally we're a step closer to our dream. Now we get to take ourselves away for a week and let it all sink in.
Wishing you all lots of . The support here has been wonderful.
Lieve, congrats on your BFP! Great to read the 2WW stories to keep you going... My BW Monday morning will get into work super early so can go to the testing centre for 7am... I will be finishing work at 12, already got the ok from the boss. I've been told the fertility clinic usually call around lunch time with the results. I don't want to be at work, just in cases... Going to a party tonight, I'm the driver so no drink, haha. Oh well, got to give the body a break.
Lieve: Big congrats on your BFP and those numbers are super super fantastic, with DD mine were 305 so 550 is awesome.
Well back from Melbourne and I'm exhausted.... did another POAS tonight (13dpo) and still a big "-tive" so now I'm more than 100% sure that I'm out. I've been getting lots of cramping and discomfort still so I'm not looking forward to AF arriving as I know it is going to be a doosy. Still gotta do BT on Tuesday but if AF comes earlier than then will ring the clinic and go in earlier.
Good luck to our remaining TWW'ers, I so hope this cycle is the one for you all and hopefully I'll be back here again soon and by then all of you will be in the pg thread.
Congratulations to Dinnie and Lieve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! whoo hoo girls.
I'm popping in just to repeat what you both have already said, that cramping and bloating that you get soooo concerned about is not always AF...... that's the cruel trick in this journey, it can go either way with the symptoms being so similar. I had ALL my usual cramping and bloating at all the right times too but got a BFP.
Hang in there girls, it's unfair how long it takes, but sending sticky vibes to you all. Hope to see you all in the pregnant after LTTC thread soon x
Hi all, got BFP today!! Hubby doesn't want me to tell anyone but I really want to let my mum know! Blood test level 2076, not really sure what that means, but have a second blood test on Thursday... So still early days.
. I had 30 eggs retrieved at my EPU of which 18 fertilised and 15 made it. We used up 7 however to get DD and of the 8 frosties 3 were used this cycle to get 2 to transfer. Just remember though, "it only takes one" which is soooo true. I hope you are still hangin in there.
it is good cramping.
2WW killing me!
Congratulations, that's great news. Best wishes for H&H 9 months.

2 days till BW!
