    Hmmmmmmm, to POAS over the weekend or not to POAS???

    A few symptoms to report.... sore lower back, the bloated belly is back, dizziness off and on and I'm so tired... like, it's only 12.30pm and I don't physically know how I'm going to make it to bed time without having a nap here at work. I'm still get a sharp pain / cramp if I sit down and stand up too quickly.

    Oh the joys of IVF

    Happy Friday girls

    Hi girls,
    I'm officially in the TWW. Only 1 of my 2 eggs fertilised, today they transferred our only embie, a day 3 6-cell embie. I was disappointed at the cell count, and also the embryologist said there was a bit of fragmentation - but i have to remember our 2 yr old was also a 6 cell day 3 transfer.

    To my motification I suddenly felt very fragile after the transfer and had a little cry in the recovery room! That is very unlike me but I think it all jsut suddenly felt a bit much as I've had a very long stimulation cycle (about 16 days of injections) which was back to back off a cancelled cycle - also my toddler for some reason isn't sleeping well and he was up 3 times last night so I didn't get much sleep at all. And my hubbie is away at the moment in the Pilbara so I went to the transfer on my own. I just wanted to get the h#ll out of that place today but this clinic makes you lie down for 30 mins after transfer (when i was having treatment in Adelaide they let you up straight away).. and the kind nurse who noticed my puffy face just made me lose what bit of composure I had !

    Doh.

    Sorry to be a bit on a downer! Part of me wonders if this may be our final attempt, so the "fragmentation" comment by the embryologist rattled me a bit. But he did say it often can still lead to success, so will try and put it out of my mind for the next few weeks.

    Saffy - fantastic result to have 3 to freeze ! Best of luck
    Elocin & Williever - i know it's so hard to resist, but my personal preference is to wait for the BT. In the past when i've done a POAS I always doubt/stress about the result anyway, so i've decided it doesn't make me any more sure.. but i can understand wanting forewarning.. that waiting time for the BT result phonecall is such a killer !!
    Mmum - so sorry

    elocin, I'm not going to poas this weekend, maybe mon or tues depends how brave i feel, v scared of a bfn at this stage. I am shattered too, but I worked last night til 10.30 and started again at 7 so that may be the cause. Did you have a nap at your desk lol?? xx

    deni- big , don't be embbarrased about that, just blame it on the hormones!! Its so normal to be teary, you've invested a lot emotionally and physically in the cycle and its scary to think in a few wks you will know the outcome- ( I'm its a good one for you) My last fet was with a fragmeted embryo and I did a lot of googling, many, many people get UTD with them so don't stress ( although I didn't, but i had hormone probs). I prefer not even to be told any info like that cos it taints your view of the tww and makes you stress more ( well for me anyway). Good luck chick, sorry you had to have the transfer by yourself, hope you are resting up xx

    Willi- you are soooooo close its scary xx

    afm- verrrrry tired too, and quite braindead at work today ( but that may be from tiredness), had a few faint spells at work last night and quite emotional today. Thats about all I can drum up, not very exciting (or suggestive of pregnancy lol).
    I was working in the special care nursery and was cuddling some twins who did not stop crying for hours, i was thinking 'oh dear, did I really have 2 embryos put back??!!?!?!', oh well, its in the hands of fate. But......
    I JUST WANT TO KNOW NOW!!!!

    Hi ladies
    Just a quick update.....early to be tonight - long day at work.

    Felt for sure af would arrive today, but nothing so far. Cramps and back ache woke me up at 3 this morning. They have continued all day again. Had a fainting spell today....weird feeling. Bbs still sore, head aches etc, etc. The only thing that does not suggest af is the fact I do not want chocolate. Normally I am right into anything! Will keep an eye on that situation!

    I have read my sig. Again so I will try to keep thinking positive. This is so hard. Just the weekend to go. Come on little frosty!!!
