    Chekigal - how did the 2nd BT go? I hope that everything is as all right as it can be under the circumstances.

    AFM, 3 more days to my BT. It is hard to wait, but on the other hand I almost don't want the day to arrive b/c I know that I'll likely have a BFN and want to live the dream a little longer before it gets crushed. For the same reason, I haven't gotten up the nerve to POAS yet. I've had some symptoms -- nausea, cramping like AF for the past few days (but no AF has arrived), headaches -- that could potentially be pregnancy symptoms . . . but they are also listed as side effects of the Crinone, so I know that I can't count on them. Also, I usually have a 26 day cycle, and today is CD27, with no sign of AF. But I don't want to get my hopes up since I have no idea if the IVF has changed my cycle somehow. Have any of you found your cycles to lengthen while you were on Crinone or any of the other drugs? I don't want to take anything for granted since I realize all the drugs can play such havoc with our systems.

    Hi to everyone reading this thread. I hope you are all going well.

    The 2nd BT showed that I was in fact pregnant - but at levels so low there was no way that I could sustain the pregnancy.
    They were right - m/c yesterday.

    Aargh - I am starting to go nuts with the waiting. And all of the symptoms I was feeling the past few days (cramping, queasiness) have gone away today. I know they were probably from the Crinone anyway, but I'm feeling like the disappearance of my symptoms is a bad sign. Anybody have this happen then get a BFP? As it is, I'm bracing myself for a BFN on Thursday. I'm almost tempted to POAS tomorrow morning and put myself out of my misery, but I'm scared to see the answer. And I'd hate it if I got a result (good OR bad) that didn't match Thursday's BT, so there doesn't seem to be any point. This is the most down I've felt during the whole TWW. Any positive words would be appreciated.

    Thanks, girls.

    PS. Chekigal, I'm so sorry to hear of your MC.

    I did it: I succumbed and peed on a stick this morning. It was an old test -- almost expired -- that came with an ovulation predictor kit I was using last year, and my second pee of the morning, not my first. So maybe the test isn't working properly anymore. But I got a faint positive line! Please keep your fingers crossed for me that it sticks till my BT on Thursday!!

    KitKat - I have to admit I am not a POAS girl, but I will have my FX that it was right and that Thursday shows a nice BFP for you!

    Hi ladies :wave: Just starting my 2ww here, DH and I were having the year off, but I feel like I've actually ovulated for a change, and we've accidentally times everything perfectly, so in getting myself excited!

    Anyone else just starting?

    KitKaf congratulations hope you have a happy & healthy nine months

    NStap welcome good to have you in here. Taking support during the TWW can play games with your mind. I've previously taken cronin and from the experiences from other women you can feel like your getting AF even though it may be a BFP. Try to relax and not read much into it although it could also be you little embie burrowing in for the nesxnext 9 months. Sorry I could offer more but remeber your not alone there are heaps of us here to offer support

    AFM so far really relaxed and have spent quite a bit of the past 2 days taking it easy I find the first week easy but then the 2nd drives me crazy

    Feeling negative

    hi everyone,

    NSap, I had my first embryo transfer this week too but I'm not really feeling anything except still a bit sore and bloated from after egg pick up (which was on Monday). I'm also on crinone.

    I'm wondering if others have felt negative during their 2ww. I mean I'm not feeling down or depressed or anything I just kinda feel no different to any other 2ww from donor insemination (which all resulted in BFN). I sort of feel empty. I'm trying to stay positive and keep talking to my belly and praying but I almost feel like it's too late... like the embryo is already gone. Does any one know if it wasn't going to implant how long before it would leave the body? I had my transfer on Wed (2 day old embie).

    Thanks
    Lori

    Hi Everyone,

    Thanks Terry...feels so much better to be on here and have the support...and you are right about the Crinone.. Very unfortunate that at a time like this we have to take something that is 'very likely to make you feel flat/sad' as my nurse advised. Even with that in mind it is hard to stay rational.

    Hey Dreamrise...not sure when it would leave if not implanting...but I do know how you feel...about being negative - sorry you feel like this too..

    I guess all we can do is hope/pray/visualize a healthy baby....fingers crossed for us all xx

    Hey there Dreamrise, if you had a 2-day transfer on Wednesday, then the earliest that your embie could possibly implant would be tomorrow, and maybe not till Monday or Tuesday (or even later if it's a late implantation), and then it would take several more days before there was enough HCG being produced for you to have symptoms. And if it didn't implant, only THEN would it disintegrate and flush away. Again, the earliest that would happen would be Tuesday or so. So your lack of symptoms is pretty meaningless, it seems, esp. since you are not SUPPOSED to feel any symptoms until several days after implantation. Any symptoms that you did feel at this point would likely only be the Crinone, anyway, since that is the only chemical that could be producing symptoms at this point.

    Just to give you and NStap and the rest of you who are feeling down some hope (damn Crinone!), I wanted to point out that last week, I, too, had a point in time when I was feeling no symptoms, and I turned out to have my BFP. Everything I read said that one of my first symptoms would be sore boobs, but my boobs felt absolutely normal. Zero, zip, nada different. Guess what? All of the sudden this morning -- 18 whole days past my egg pickup and 2 days after my positive BT, I guess I finally have enough HCG in my system because I finally started feeling some twinges in my boobs right when I woke up (and now they (th twinges, not my boobs) are gone). And it's only the past 2 or 3 days that I seem to be peeing more. Not much else in the way of symptoms, either, so, again, remember that it ain't over till it's over and your lack of feeling anything doesn't necessarily mean anything at all! FX for you that this is your month!

    Hi to everyone else, too, and good luck.

    I'll butt back out of this thread now.

    Hi Everyone,

    So I have my BT in exactly a week...as annoyingly my day 16 is on Sat - the extra 2 days will seem like a lifetime. Did have sore boobs and now not so much which is similar to earlier this year when I had an ectopic so not feeling optimistic. Also stupidly POAS on the 3rd and 4th day following ET - have no idea why just thought a faint line might give me some hope ( when I had an ectopic a got a faint line only days after I had implantation bleeding)...anyway just wanted to write in and Say Hi to anyone else out there feeling the same x

    Hi everyone

    Kitkat - thank you so much for this post. I've been searching the net for symtoms and what to expect during the 2WW and have been getting worried as I've not felt anything yet. I still have 7 days to go so your comments have reassured me a little and given me hope.

    This is my first ivf cycle and am on the progesterone pessaries, not crinone so really haven't known what to expect. This site is definitely helping me - good luck to all of you.
