LTTTC Two Week Wait #1

Joeve how far into tww are you?

I can't believe I am only one day in and realizing this is going to be a long two weeks lol

So excited for everyone who ends their tww this week.
Not long now saffy, how are you feeling?

Kerbear I am waaaay to early to have any symptoms!! Lol hope your tww goes fast!

Hi Girls,

Just popping in to join you TWW-ers! I had a lovely blasty transferred yesterday and did my first Clexane jab last night. I'm not sure if anyone else in here is on Clexane but if so I'm wondering if anyone has found the needle to be quite blunt?! I am not squeamish at all about needles and have never had an issue injecting during my stims but I had to have three goes and then really jam it in! I now have three nasty red blotches on my tummy. I'm hoping that it was just that one but I guess I'll find out tonight.

Kerbear- how are you going so far, Honey? It's nice to have someone at the same stage of this wretched process!

To everyone else, I hope you're all hanging in there and hope to see an abundance of BFPs really soon!

Meg, I take Clexane (when I am actually in a 2WW!!! And not just stalking!)

That needle is a biatch!! It can hurt too :(

I find it the worst of all the IVF needles.

Saffy takes it too.

Thanks N2L, glad I'm not the only one but was kind of hoping I just had a dodgy syringe! Oh well...

hi meg- yeah my needle today took three jab to get in!! Most of the time its ok though. I try to inject it swiftly and strongly if that makes sense, I find the slower you do it the more likely you are to not get it in properly and it hurts more. I bawled my eyes out the first time I did it cos it hurt so much, but I'm fine w it now, heres more tips:
- Ice the area first for a minute, it goes numb and you can't feel the needle go in, just the sting of the fluid
-I find closer to the middle of my abdo, ie under my bellybutton, hurts and bruises less than outer areas
-some areas will bruise heaps and some won't so don't panic
-the big bruises can hurt for days so tight pants /jeans won't work

Sounds like fun hey?? What dose are you on, I am on a large dose- 80mg- so if you are on lower it won't be as bad as mine.
Congratulations on your blasty and good luck in the tww!

Hi Saffy,

I'm only on 20mg, so it's really not that big of a deal. I was just hoping it was a one-off! Thanks for the tips. x

Hi all,

Welcome back toomany - GL!

Hi Meg, wishing you all the best. I don't take clexane, sounds awful to inject :-(

Not much happening here, just wish the days would go quicker.

Saffy - Good luck for tomorrow. We will be quietly stalking.

Meg - Sorry to hear that your jab is so painful :(

Hi to everyone else.

AFM - I have a cold coming on. I cant remember the last one I had. Sore throat, snotty nose, sneezy. Sore (.)(.), and so tired. Its the first time I have had possible symptoms. Not sure if its just all the hormones. Probably is. Its too soon for anything I guess. 4 days post transfer 2 x day 2 embies.

Vic sounds promising!!!

I am off on holidays for 2 1/2 weeks, so I may not be able to check in on how everyone is doing. I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck. I am sure I will see lots of BFPs when I return.

Hi girls,

Just dropping to say I am definitely BFP!!!!!!! Did my FC HPT this morning (1 day early) and it's far less sensitive than the Early Detect I used over the weekend. I got the BFP within 1 minute. So so excited - technically I don't confirm with FC until Saturday (after another HPT but don't care as they only rely on the 2 HPT and then a 7 week ultrasound now, not BT anymore (amazing I know!). So given this mornings strong result 100% definite BFP. Want to shout it too the world, but DH has made me promise i'll hold out till Saturday. lol. What a party pooper lol.

Thanks for everything, bring on a run of BFP for us all...will be stalking, beginning tomorrow ;)

Yay for your super strong BFP! Very exciting!

Woo hoooo Kimbe! So thrilled for you!

Can't wait to see you in our October thread:)

Saffy I have everything crossed for you for tomorrow!!

Love to everyone else

Great kimbe!!!! Hopefully a few more BFP to join you!!!

Congrats hon!!

Wow Kimbe, I'm super excited for you hunni!! Quiet congrats xoxox

GL to everyone else, hoping there will be a snowball effect of BFPs!!!!!

Woohoo kimbe that is such great news, happy dance for you.

Meg- I am doing ok, a bit down today as we found out all of our 5 embies have not made it through, now all the pressure is on the little one tucked away inside. I feel a bit sad about it all, doesn't help I have not been feeling well either.

How are you doing?

On iPhone so I will do some persons tomorrow but do want to say hi to all the other wonderful supportive ladies here in the tww and I hope you have stickies snuggling in xo

Just jumping in to say - congrats Kimbe!!
Hi kerbear - sorry about your 5 embies. I hope the one inside is all you need but it would have been nice to have a backup plan :hug:
I hope to join you all here soon but it seems my egg is in hiding :(
