To all the others hi and hope your all coping with the TWW
I had my FET this morning so I'll be sticking around here for the next two weeks. Unlike the rest of you I'm only on asprin this time so hopefully I wont drive myself crazy with symptons etc. I've got the rest of the week off work and just plan to relax and let my little embie do its thing
Guess what? It's a BFP!!!! Beta 260, which the nurse said was a nice high level. (I really have no idea what it means other than what she told me, as I've never been pg before.) I still can't believe it, and probably won't really believe it until a couple more confirmatory tests over the next two weeks.
I hope you guys don't mind if I still peek in here from time to time and check on you. I'm praying that each of you gets your BFP this cycle. I saw that earlier in the thread the BFPs were coming in 3s, so hopefully we can beat them and have at least 4 of us get our BFPs this time around!!!
Love,
Kitkat72

Congrats KitKat - that is a GREAT number!!!
I'll do my best to join you in the BFP club soon - but in the meantime - enjoy this exciting day - you will remember it for the rest of your life. xxx
Just to introduce myself I had my first Embryo transfer on 11/10 - and only 3 days later am desperate to know! Not sure if I feel weird because of the Crinone, a possible period or BFP...
It is great to find some ladies going through the same thing as I have just moved to the Gold Coast and don't have any girlfriends here yet...so finding it hard!
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
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 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.

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
Decided to join you...i know some of you from the LTTTC April/May forum (Hi!) but can i say, it's great to be able to be in here 'legally' now lol.
AFM: FET with a 5 day Blasty on Thurs (13/5) ...have spent so much time searching for Early Preg Symptoms but know nothing would be present for me just yet.
Have decided to def go HPT's as of this Thursday which is 12 days post fertilisation - cause i know i'll go insane waiting for AF or BT.
Am not on any meds, no crinone or anything (!!) so really feeling like i should be doing something and HPT's are all i can think of!
What's the count down for everyone else, there's seems to have been a fair few BFP's lately so who's up next??
Hmmm now I've allowed myself the BB distraction so better get back to work before i get caught lol.
Well 8 days now till my blood test. Had a really bad day at work yesterday (found out that rumours my department might close down next year are true so no chance of my job continuing). I found myself trying really hard not to get too upset as I'm so conscious of how stress can effect your fertility. I'm so desperately hoping that this embie attaches because I'm not sure I can justify spending the money to try again from scratch if I might not have a job next year. If this embie sticks then atleast the timing would be good because I wouldn't need to feel guilty about taking some time off work to stay home with bubs as I wouldn't have a job to be going to anyway. My current contract ends 30th of December... so I'd have a month at home (unemployed) before bub was due.
Thanks for the advice KitKat regarding symptoms and when the embie might attach. I'm trying to stay positive. I recently read another account of a woman who got pregnant first IVF cycle so I'm focusing on that and hoping I am just as lucky.
I told a work colleague about my IVF attempt yesterday (no one else at work knows). After hearing about my job I just needed to share with someone. She was very positive and shared the news that she has just found out she is going to be a grandmother for the 2nd time (she's my parents age). She told me she'll keep her fingers and toes crossed for me regarding the baby and my job.
Thanks for the advice about symptoms KitKat72. After my dtim cycle I had lots of symptoms; incredibly sore breasts, a little nausea, tiredness, cramps. Turns out it must have been the crinone. This time around I'm on progesterone pessaries and except for headaches and tiredness before the transfer, I don't have any of those other symptoms now. I guess I felt more reassured (albeit uncomfortable) last round because at least I could feel that my body was reacting to something. Good to know that people with BFP's didn't necessarily feel much during the TWW.
Just dipping my toes in, to see how tepid the water is in here XXX
Hi girls XX
Guess you will be stuck with me for the next two weeks, my second TWW with IVF.
Remembering how agonising it was from last time, and catching up with a few posts in here, nothing has changed, this TWW ain't easy.
Hi to the beutifull ladies I know already, hope you are doing well XX
To the girls I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet, stay strong XX
Angela, not sure with the cost, it's different at each place. I don't have Private HI, but Repromed in Adelaide charge just under $8000 for a full stim cycle, I think you get around $1500 back after medicare.
But good luck with your IUI, no you are not waisting your time honey, I know of many girls that got their pregnancies through IUI, and not their first try, took them a while.
Babydust to you X
Maggie, I swear to myself, after 3 iui's and my last IVF that I will ignore any symptom I feel, but I am only kidding myself! Honey, if I get symptoms I will freak, if I don't I will freak!! SO in saying that, don't freak....just take a deep breath, and stay positive. We will help you get through this sweetheart, you can do this, stay strong XX
Dreamrise, sorry to hear about your job, I pray that things happen for a reason, and you will only have to worry about being out of work for a month anyway, because you will be growing a little bundle inside that will be so much more improtaint I hope that the next 8 days go by quickly for you, and wishing you all the very best XX
Kimbe, I'm a little jealouse you don't have to use that horrid crinone, wanna swap!!!! Best wishes for your TWW, hope we can be moving onto the pregnancy forums together X (I hate crinone BTW!)
Nstap are you able to get your BT a day early instead of having to wait those extra days???!!!! I hope you are feeling more positive now sweety, I know things can feel so crappy during all this waiting and anticipation XXXXX
I'm feeling pretty normal ATM, not much to go crazy over yet, am only 1 day into my TWW today.
Had ET yesterday, fat little 4 day blastie on board, have 18 other embies still growing, won't find out how many blasties get frozen untill I receive the letter in the mail this week.
This will be a totally drugged up TWW for me,
Prognova x2 a day
Crinone pessarie each night
Prednisolone x3 a day
Asprin x1 a day
This month I was diagnosed with NKcells in my uterus.
Hoping the prednisolone and asprin fix that. I was also on Doxic antibiotic during my stims.
There still is not much info on NKcells, it is all still very new. I feel more positive knowing whats wrong, and being treated for it, but feeling anxiouse the druggs won't work.
Hi Murraycod,
Good to have you back (though for your sake and mine- I hope its the last time we do TWW together for a long time)
I'd never heard of NK cells before so was fascinated when you posted info about them. I really hope the new meds work. And now you know you're doing all that you possible can.
Hugs
