LTTTC Two Week Wait #1

[RhiChiChi]

Rach - Welcome. Best of luck, I hope you have a sticky bean in there!

TMS - I know the feeling of wanting to test but not in fear of the dreaded one line

Joeve - Thinking of you

Meg - :-( I hope it is just too early to test. I think with IVF and the likes thrown in, it makes it more difficult to know when to test for sure and I agree, until AF shows or your beta bloods are negative you aren't out.

Kerbear - My DH keeps asking how I am and my answer if short. I can't emotionally deal with chatting atm. It is too much for me to think about.

AFM - Blood test tomorrow. AF still not here. I have been consulting Dr Google with really bad q's - such as can progesterone pesaries mask a m/c and the likes. It is doing my head in. Tomorrow can't come quick enough, luckily I have a busy day after the blood test to keep me occupied.

[Miss.B]

Rhi, have you done another test? I would, hehehehehehe. But then that's me!!! Fantastic news that AF is not here, that's always a great sign. Fingers and toes crossed for you tomorrow

[Mich8]

Hi all,
Looks like I've arrived here at an exciting time with lots of you testing or about to test. Good luck!!!!

I'm 1 dpo on a completely natural cycle before starting IVF next month, so it's a long shot for me With my 5-8 day luteal phase, no progesterone pessaries and less than optimal dtd timing it would be a miracle if I got preg this cycle... but hey, I'll take a miracle

[RhiChiChi]

Rhi, have you done another test? I would, hehehehehehe. But then that's me!!! Fantastic news that AF is not here, that's always a great sign. Fingers and toes crossed for you tomorrow

Nah, I haven't bothered. I really am stressing. Whilst I think I am pg, I think my progesterone is going to be very low b/c I have no pg symptoms at all. Gosh this is blardy awful :-/

Mich8 - Best of luck, any chance is worth taking. I fell pg just prior to being referred to a specialist to investigate my infertility (with my DD) GL

Thanks all for your kind welcome. It's great to be able to talk to people who understand what a 2WW can do to a person!
I am in a constant state of indecisiveness over POAS. I'm terrified of a BFN. But I think to how I'm going to feel if it's a BFN after BT on 2/3 and think that I'd rather be prepared for it.
Saying that, I've tried to buy a HPT every day for the last 3 days and kept driving passed the chemist.
Cramping seems to have subsided, with only sporadic twinges. Pulling sensation throughout most of last night and thirsty as a camel. Hopefully I can read these as positive signs but all could just be AF or progestone symptoms. I wish I could just stop trying to analyse everything I'm feeling and just go with the flow! Roll on Friday. Or Monday (HPT). Aagh!

Good luck to everyone who will be having their BT's this week! My thoughts are with you all

And to everyone just starting their 2WW. I hope it goes quickly!

Rhi - good luck tomorrow, keeping everything crossed. I've come to realise google isn't anyones friend!

AFM - I stupidly went out and bought some HPT's last night, got home and did one! Of course it was a BFN, feeling like such a twit now. Didn't bother doing one this morning going to try to hold out for as long as possible.

[Miss.B]

Rhi, remember I had absolutely no symptoms in my 1st & 2nd pg. Only in this one my boobs were v. sore and still are, and I had cramping on and off for the 2 weeks plus after transfer, I didn't have this with the first two. I wouldn't stress unnecessarily about the low progesterone, it might not be the case! Mum had 2 pg with me and bro and had no symptoms whatsoever. And to confuse you even more (and this very well might be due to the fact that this time it was a 2 day old embie and the last two times we had blasties), my HCG result in this pg where I had symptoms were lower than the previous two. Go figure! lol. GL hunni xoxox

toomanyshoes, how many days post transfer are you hun?

GL to the rest of you ladies

[toomanyshoes]

Miss.b - no transfer here good'ol fashioned BD lol 7-8 DPO, depends if I go off the OPK's or temping.

If only I could convince my DH to take the IVF route!

[Miss.B]

Ah, you're a lucky lady not to go through IVF! It's not too bad for some but I wish it happened the good 'ol fashioned way for us! Well, maybe you O'd a little bit later this month?? I always had spot on 29 day cycles, but in my second IVF cycle which was a natural FET cycle, we waited patiently for O and I actually O'd really early around day 12 by memory. But, as I was tracking my O leading up to that natural cycle, in one of them I O'd on day 17!! So maybe I never really O'd spot on day 14-15 like I thought! GL sweetie

[toomanyshoes]

I don't know if I would call it lucky, after 5 years of trying I would rather some kind of game plan other than "lets see what happens". DH can't stand dr's, it's rather frustrating!

My cycles were always 28 days, AF for 5 days, O'ed at the same time then after a 12wk+ mc and a heap of chem pregs it's been anywhere from 26-38 days! I took a break for 6 months and went on the pill, this first cycle off them seems to be good but time will tell I guess, hoping things are a little more consistent this time.

Thanks, still naively hoping I'll be UTD this cycle and not have to worry about the TTC bit again!

[Joeve]

This tww has been dragging I went out and bought another 3 pack of hpts and got another bfn.... Seriously over it. I need to stop torturing myself!
TMS try again tomorrow!
Meg as above

[alimunro]

Transfer last Tuesday, both embryos thawed perfectly, they were day 2 and one had started to divide so good news there! Now the long wait! Wish I would stop worrying about everything I do, last night I went to a 40th and had a dance and then wondered if I should have...sheesh! These are the only 2 spare so come on!!! Now the long wait. My fingers and toes are crossed for everyone to get positive results

[kerbear]

Goodluck rhichichi for tomorrow

[MiLee]

Just hoping to join in the agonising 2ww with you all!

I had a FET on Wed 22nd, and have to test (according to clinic) on Mar 8- which seems an eternity away. It was a day 3 embryo, of grade 3 quality, and I have fingers crossed that this is the one that will stick! It all just seems a little never ending, this being our 8th (i think) FET in 12 months.

A bit about me- we are here on this IVF journey to try to complete our family. Our son (6) was a first month of trying miracle, followed by our daughter (2) our little IVF miracle, having discovered after 12 months of trying that we suffer from secondary infertility- problems with hubby's swimmers. So now, here we are trying for number 3- using up our embryos from the cycle our daughter comes from, having absolutely no luck- not even a shadow of a BFP in any of my FET's

ANyway, I could go on and on- but I will spare you! I look forward to spending some time with people who completely and utterly know how it all feels to be on this journey. Good luck to everyone in here with me- thanks Rhichichi I took your advice!

MissB - thanks for sharing your experiences. I am truly going around the bend but today is 'D' day and I'll know what is going on by the afternoon.

TMS & kerbear - thanks for thinking of me

alimunro - welcome, best of luck

[toomanyshoes]

Joeve - are the HPT's behaving this morning?

I havent done anymore, seems I've cured my addiction!
Here's my chart if anyone is interested, just don't ask me what's what because I still haven't worked it all out.
