LT TTC Two Week Wait 2012 #8

[lyra stardust]

Beau- sorry I got confused I'm not sure about the pregnyl. When I've had trigger which is higher dose than pregnyl then progesterone support in tww it's taken about 10 days to clear. When I've had trigger then pregnyl injection support in 2ww I'm not sure how long it took to clear because I never tested after I got a negative result. But I would always get af at about 15 pr 16 dpo regardless of having pregnyl 5 or 6 days before ( I can't remember exactly when last one was but it was less than 10 days) hope that help. Good luck. Everything crossed for you.

Any news yet beau?

Lyra stardust - try not to drive yourself crazy with the lines. I can't talk cause I do it to :-)

[myturn]

the pregnyl as luteal phase support for me always stopped AF from arriving when I expected her to arrive, but it makes sense that the trigger would be longer..... just try and relax in the TWW (I know crazy impossible!) and the BT will happen when it does.... you can't get the confirmed result any quicker anyway....

but then.... I am NOT, I repeat NOT a POASer.... I did the first cycle and it messed with my head... plus it's a waste of money, so I just wait.... all cycles except the BFP last cycle I have known that it was over as I started bleeding heavily, so I've never needed to POAS I guess....

essentially I am saying - you can try and find reasons for everything, and try to interpret everything... in the end you will never 'really' know until that blood test two weeks later... so.....

The clinic rang while I was at work but wanted to be home if I needed to be upset when i got results. Apparently I have a very small amount of hcg in my system but they are not sure if its left over from the pregnyl or a from a pregnancy in trouble like an ectopic. So need to have bloods again Friday. Great! Lets just prolong the torture a bit longer. My progesterone is apparently near baseline too so doesn't sound like good news to me. If that's the case I want af to hurry up so we can try again. It needs to come before Monday or we won't be doing another fet until march/April. Why is this all so hard? Wouldn't it be nice to get pregnant naturally first go like so many of my friends.

My turn - how many days late was af for you after pregnyl

[kerbear]

Beau so sorry things aren't looking good. I hear you wanting it naturally and easily, it would be do nice to fall pregnant that way instead of the torture we have to put ourselves through.
Hope Friday brings better news, sending a hug your way xo

[kbudgie]

Beau sorry to hear that, I hope you get answers on Friday x

[myturn]

AF arrived the 8th day after the 2nd pregnyl shot for one of the FET's and the 7th day after for the other FET - the only time I used it during a stim cycle it was a BFP (and m/mc ) which meant I had a 39 day cycle and a 35 day cycle (respectively)..... usually I have 30 - 32 days.... but I think it really depend on the transfer date - it pretty consistently increased my luteal phase to 13/14 days....

I'm so sorry it's not looking good if it helps, try to remember that each cycle teaches you and the FS something new about your body and how you respond to everything, so there's always something to get out of it - that's what I find useful anyway xoxo


ps.... I don't and doubt I ever will know what a natural pregnancy feels like I agree, it would be nice.... but I am glad I am born in a time where the technology is available.... I cannot imagine what it would have been like for people 30 + years ago..... nothing more they could do than keep waiting and trying.... how sucky would that be...

Just wanted to say to Juniper that I'm loving the look of your chart at the moment. Good luck!

Good luck to all of you!!!

Good to know there is a positive side to all this treatment. And yes so glad we have medical advances to help us. I feel like our journey is just beginning as far as assisted conception goes and I can honestly say as fearful as I was, reading what you all share here has given me some courage. I still hope that the late AF is actually something good as opposed to an ectopic pg (scared of that right now) I also read somewhere that another possible BFN would be male fetus makes for v low hgc. I am gearing myself up for BT tomorrow (can you tell)

I think you are all amazing ladies and I am honoured to be allowed to follow your journeys, even if the journey can be crappy at the best of times. Hopefully we will all get the result we want soon xx

Good luck to all of you!!!

Thanks, but that's just because I haven't put in today's temp yet. Dropped like a stone and expecting AF tomorrow... Oh well, at least it should be the last one for 2012 and I can put this wretched year behind me...

[Beau30]

Thanks for your beautiful words girls. I agree Juniper this year has been crap.

Myturn, you crack me up about the POAS-ing. I have missed out on so much me thinks, GL in your cycle lovely! Very excited for you hun

GL to everyone else in here, it looks like it's quite busy in here. I hope there will be many BFP's in here soon

[Beau30]

Morning

I am just wondering if your fs clinics do bloods to check hormone levels after ovulation. Mine doesn't but am thinking of asking for it next cycle we do as perhaps it could help.

Also do any of you girls get the fs to ring your dhs with results. I am tempted to ask mine to as I hate getting bad news especially when I am at work - the only place to go have a cry is in the toilets.

[kbudgie]

anyone else having strange dreams? i dreamt i went for a bt and was able to get an instant result though i had to decode it and i could not figure it out!

still no sign of Af am hoping for some answers today

[lyra stardust]

Morning girls! Sorry I'm on the phone so forgive any omissions and typos!

Yes I agree 2012 has been horrible. 2013 has to be better although I must admit that 13 has me worried. Not that I'm superstitious or anything...

Beau- sorry wasn't a clear answer. Fx for you xxx

Kbudgie good luck for today

Juniper- praying your temps are misleading you and it's good news.

My turn- I wish I was not a poas er but I'm an addict! I try not to but I can't help myself. For me it's a control issue. So much of this process is disempowering and I hate the lack of control. I hate that such a meaningful thing is delivered over the phone by a nurse that I generally have no rapport with and probably diesn't care that much. You never know which nurse is going to be ringing you and I feel that they are sometimes insensitive. Ok so I can't get pregnant like everyone else but I'll be damned if I'm not going to pee on a stick and be the first one to know if I'm pregnant. I love that I was the first one who knew with both my pregnancies and not a guy in a lab and a nurse. Ok so it was horrible with the chemical as I thought I was pregnant when it wasn't viable but for me that chance is worth it. I do wish I had the strength just to wait until 14 dpo though but it's a compulsion! I honestly can't help myself!! I totally respect your self control.

Anyway, I had some bleeding last night which had now stopped so totally confused. Could be implant but I'm trying not to assume that. Test still exactly the same- so so faint but comes up within 10 mins but no change over last 3 days. Arghhh.

[juniper76]

Beau, I only had my mid-luteal progesterone checked once during a treatment cycle. I had it checked one time during a natural cycle, but only to confirm I had O'd so I could start the synarel to do IVF the following cycle.

lyra, if it was implant bleeding, then it will take a couple of days to see a change in the hpts. FX for you. :luck:

Afm, I'm definitely out. Just waiting for AF. If not this afternoon, it will be tomorrow. Just hoping it's not the usual heavy nightmare on Sunday when we have our Christmas gathering with our friends, but not holding my breath since that'll be CD3 and the first 3 days are always horrendous...

Bring on 2013!! This year started with a mm/c and d&c and (believe it or not) got worse from that point! I'm ready to put all the grief this year has brought behind me. I'm just praying 2013 is kinder to us.

I'm so sorry Juniper xx
I am keeping everything crossed that 2013 brings you a miracle. A rainbow after the storm.

In fact that goes for you all.
2013 is going to be the best year ever.

Much love and baby wishes for you all xx
