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 :shakehead: 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!

I have spotting and cramps today, which is probably not a good sign so close to when AF is due (Friday) :shakehead:.......
Hi Kass - good luck for this one!
-
How is everyone going in here? Hope you are all well!
AF arrived today, so it doesn't look like goods news for me this time around. Will have the BT tomorrow to confirm.
-
sorry to hear that ehm - are you going ok?
Still no symptoms for me. Bt on Sun.
-
EHM - so sorry to hear that hun. Thinking of you.
AFM - I am starting to get cramps and feel like I have been steam-rollered. I think AF is coming unfortunately.
-
Hey everyone,
Speak up! I need distraction!!
;)
Mindhugs - hope so much you're wrong... I seem to have had cramps ever since ET and assume it is the crinone?
Kass - nearly there! Hope it's wonderful news! I heard that the prob with chili is if you have too much it can raise your body temp.
ehm - hugs. How was your bt?
afm - feeling mighty crummy. Wish I was in the no symptoms group! I have had smashing migraine all week & been off work. Plus cramps & tender ovaries (still feel quite uncomfy standing or walking around), slightly fevery, yukky discharge and nausea. Man I am so glamorous right now. Most of these started before ET so can't be pg symptoms unfortunately! :rolleyes:
My clinic says if I don't have AF by Sat 17th to ring and make an appointment for a blood test. That's 17dpo. They're shut on weekends anyway so I was wondering if I should book in to my GP for it? Do clinics get offended if you get your BT elsewhere? My GP is much nicer and I'd rather hear it from her IYKWIM.
-
Kass - Hope you are well. Good luck for your BT on Sunday!
Mindhugs - I really hope your symptoms are positive ones. Fingers and toes crossed that this is cycle works for you!
Saraz - it is not unusual be really sore and knocked around after a stim cycle and EPU. I have never been really affected by the crinone, but my colleague at work who has also gone through IVF was really affected - crampy, grumpy, sore bbs, etc. I hope you are feeling better soon, and that your embie sticks nice and tight!
AFM - had my BT today and a BFN. Am obviously very disappointed, but am determined to push for additional testing to find out what is causing our repeated failures. It is really difficult having 'unexplained fertility', and our FS says that we just need to keep trying until we 'find the right embyro for us'. That is way too vague for my liking. Am also thinking of getting a second opinion........any advice on this welcome!
-
ehm, im so sorry bout your news. Im not supposed to be in here as im not on the 2ww but i like to pop in to see others news and hoping there all BFP's. I think to talk your DR is a good idea because thats where you will get the best advice when your unsure, thats where im at at the moment too, we just lost our baby at 5 weeks and i need answers as this is the 2nd one and my progesterone has been low all three cycles and im not gatting any answers which is very frustrating! because iv been given no explanations or options to help my levels. So any way i have an appointment on tues with my DR and im so glad i can finally get some answers. I hope that you get the answers you need too as it must be very hard for you to go through so many yrs of trying. I will look forward to hearing how you go xxxx
M 24 & DH 25
ICSI
STIM #1 BFN
FET #2 BFN
FET #3 BFP- Lost our little angel at 5 weeks
1 embie left in storage

Hi oneday. Thanks for your message. I am sorry to hear about your loss - I can only imagine what that would be like. I don't know a lot about treatment for low progesterone, but have you had attitional luteal support after your transfers, like crinone? I asked our FS whether he could monitor my progeterone levels, but he didn't seem to think it was necessary. He told me that low levels in the blood does not necessarily mean low levels in the uterus......would have liked him to test anyway. Anyway I hope you get your answers too! I am going to join the LT TTC & AC forum, so I might see you there.
Have a great weekend!

Hi ehm,
I can highly recommend getting a second opinion, if only to appease your mind that you aren't wasting time, money and energy on the process to find out some fresh eyes might find something new. Might be worth letting us know on the forum where you are incase some of the ladies can recommend someone (via PM of course). Even though I kept going with my original grumpy old FS, I got a second opinion by another FS at my clinic and even though he found nothing wrong, it made me feel better to know I had someone else be thorough. I am not really a worry wort, but unless your FS has a reason not to, it's fairly standard to give progesterone support (especially on a full cycle when your cycle is artificial, hence needs the support, but many on a frozen as well if you are using meds) unless you have been tested on both type of cycles to prove you don't need it.
Oneday - so sorry to hear your news, I hope the appointment with the doc on Tuesday gives you some answers.
-
I'm interested in a second opinion too - I haven't had any tests other than the initial bt. Last time I brought up my concerns my fs just shrugged them off with an 'eventually it will work'. Since he's not very helpful I don't know where to start - Lairdoz how did you go about arranging your second opinion? Did you need another referral?
oneday:hug: - I hope you get some answers on Tuesday
Test tomorrow - I'm tempted to buy a hpt since the wait between the test and the phone call is the hardest. Still no symptoms.
-
I think if this one doesn't work out for me we will get a 2nd opinion too. I'm assuming a new referral will be needed for FS files.
AFM - still no AF, but cramping on and off. Some weird stuff too. I'm not sure what's going on. At this stage it could be either way. I have heard that crinone can delay AF. I'm 2 days late so far.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
-
gday guys am back in the tww as of 11am this morning so just gotta try and be patient until next friday (23rd) hope everyone is well and not getting the tww crazyness lol
-
You do need to get another referral if you want a 2nd opinion, but ring and make an appointment with the FS first as you are likely to wait longer for the FS appointment that than for the GP to get a referral. I think it's insane that an FS would not test for hormonal, physical or auto-immune issues, but using IVF as the 'test' to see if we get pregnant! It is important to remember that each of our situations and medical histories are different, but I find it so strange that we are expected to spend a small fortune each attempt of IVF, when testing would cost a fraction of the cost, just be be sure.
I would highly recommend making sure that the 2nd opinion is from someone that others value, and don't always rely on your GP's recommendation, my new GP didn't know what FET was so hardly think she has any idea who is a good FS! But I guess you will always be the best judge of character.
Goodluck to everyone waiting and I'll scoot back into my hibernation, watching and hoping for some BFP's in here very soon :)
-
Well it's another negative for me. Not happy!
-
Hello Ladies,
Do you mind if I join you?
Had my transfer yesterday morning. My one and only that survived this round. I am told it is a beautiful emby so now I just have to wait til my BT on the 22nd
-
Kass: hugs chick
Wanta: Gl chick I have my bt on the 23rd
Am a little anxious about the first pregnyl booster as the trigger shot was really painful this time round I actually almost threw up instantly don't know why seeing as last round was no pain and was so good maybe it's a good sign evetrything has been completely different this time round maybe this time it'll happen.
How is everyone else doing?
