LTTTC Two Week Wait 2010 #2

Loops - I never encourage HPT's - but I would LOVE this to happen for you!!!

I think my 5th (or 6th, I can't remember!!) 2WW for the year is about to start...

Hey ladies,

Thanks for the welcome back!!

Loops ~ GL with your HPT!! Putting all the positive vibes your way!! :stickyvibesgirl: :pink-babydust:

Lairdoz ~ wishing you all the best for this transfer!! :crossfingers:

And to everyone else ~ good luck whereever you are in the TWW!!

AFM ~ I'm still trying NOT to think about it!! It seems harder to not think about it this time. The last transfer I didn't really give it much thought until the 2nd week (maybe that was because I had OHSS!!). So only another week and a half to my test - 15 June.

So I can catch up, when is everyone else testing?

well have slept most of today away lol had my final post insemination jab and woohoo only 6 days to go till d day... my mum is coming to visit on the weekend to take me to see sex and the city 2 to help make the weekend go faster woohoo haven't seen my mum in a month and a half I think...

Hi everyone!

Mind if I join you? This wait is killing me!
Congratulations to all of those BFPs hope you all have a happy and healthy 9 months!
AFM - As most of you know, I had a ET on Wednesday. I have a progesterone BT check on Monday and my BT the following Monday. Trying not to think about it (unsuccessfully). I'm only 4 days past the transfer but I'm getting af symptoms (cramping mainly) and keep thinking that it has started. Was anyone else quite "wet" down there? (TMI - really sorry). I'm hoping the cramps are just related to the endo as I spend most of my time cramping due to that.
Anyway, hope you all have a nice relaxing day. I'm going out to brunch with my sister!

Lairdoz - Good luck with your 5th or 6th TWW - here's to it being your last!!

Mum2b - Good luck with your TWW and your BT on 15 June - bring on the BFP.

TrueBlue - went to see Sex in the City 2 with some girlfriends on Thursday night. OMG it was soooooo good. We had such a laugh - you will love it and it will certainly leave you on a high.

MiniMe - Hope the rest of your TWW flies by with a nice surprise at the end.

AFM - transfer number 10 booked for Friday 11 June in Sydney. Have booked my flights and am ready to have my two little blasts transferred.

Good luck to anyone else I've missed.

Cheers Trea

well satc2 was fabulous laughed alot and did take my mind off things except maybe that for the first time ever I could get through my bag of choccies I had a small bag of clinkers which I can normally polish off in one go and a small bag of maltesers!!! trying not to be positive as don;t wanna get my hopes up..

Helloooo girls, how are ya'll?? Silly question I know you're mostly see-sawing between being positive and being pessimistic with a huge dollop of hope thrown in. I'll re-introduce myself, although I recognise some names (Murraycod...yet again...YOU GO GIRL!!). Loops, great to see you in the 2ww again, and Juniper....if you're still lurking....fantastic news congrats!!

Me? well I took 5 months off after 3 back to back IVFs (forced hand thanks to Mr Rudd) and after the last effort sadly didn't progress to a heartbeat I needed time out. We had a lovely holiday and ploughed time into renovating and socialising and enjoying wine again :-)

I found a new acupuncturist in Feb and he is wonderful, and focuses on fertility. He got my cycle back on track within a couple of months and I'm very happy with him.

On Fri I had a natural FET. We had thawed one embryo. It was 8 cells of which only 6 cells thawed. It grew to 8 again then ceased overnight on the Thursday. My FS suggested to thaw another on the Fri morning and he said that it was very unlikely the first snowbub would progress but we'd still put both embies back in. The second one thawed beautifully with 8 cells but we had no history as it'd had no time to multiply since thawing.

Sooooo after being adament we didn't want 2 in, and our FS being v. happy with our decision as his preference is only 1.....we got 2 popped in, although 1 is pretty unlikely to go anywhere. Confused?? I was, esp. when my best mate played a gentle devils advocate and said 'if it's unlikely to be viable why not just put the nice 8 cell in there'....but it's done and it's only Sunday!

I had mentioned in another thread that I feel there's such a HUGE build up with a stim cycle that by the time you are in the 2ww you're already very stressed. I feel differently this being my first FET and more relaxed about it. I had 2 scans and BTs and then the transfer. That's not to say it doesn't keep coming into my mind, but I'm finding it easier to distract myself....and I am trying to do that a lot!

I will make more of an effort with persies over the next few days.

Again congrats to all the girls who've had their dream come true...and big comforting cyber hugs for those that are still awaiting.

Hi Ladies
Good luck Trea and MiniMe, FX for you guys 2!!

True ~ Sounding very positive hun, so hoping its a BFP for you!, FX and TX xoxo

GL everyone, lots of babydust and stickyvibes coming your way.
AFM ~ Sorry I caved the other day and did the HPT - really wish I hadnt as it was BFN. I was only 10DPO so hoping it was too early and im still getting weird tummy pains and have lots of extra cm and creamy/sticky (sorry if TMI). But not getting any hopes up ceratinly.

True - I have been stalking you in here I have everything crossed for you this month!
Goodluck everyone!

Aw jo thanks chick I have been feeling weird in the tummy all day I burst into tears for no reason half an hour ago poor dh didn't know what to make of it. I feel hungry all day but I eaither don't want to eat or can only eat small amounts I am hoping so badly that this is all because of a looming bfp so badly.. thanks again for stalking me jo how are you doing?
Loops: hugs chick remember it still may be too early.
Airline: goodluck hope that your bfp comes. We discussed the thought of twins or triplets and we have decided we are fine with that as there is a strong possibility of twins naturally anyway.
only 4 days to go and I am so nervous I am exhausted from wishing for the nurse to call on thrusday and say guess what it worked your pregnant

hey everyone

I just wanted to join. I am 7dpo and on my 3rd round of clomid. Im feeling weird, not as many cramps as usual, sore back and a little tender bbs. Trying not to get my hopes up.

Congrats on everyones bfps!

Ahurani and Airline - GL girls can't wait to hear your results - BFP's all the way!!

Cheers Trea

Trea, you are a strong, strong girl, I will be stalking you all the way and sending you stickyvibes!! XXX Good luck Darling, you deserve this X

Airline, honey!! So glad to see you back, after a nice break, I hope you are feeling fresh and ready for the fun TTW ride of a lifetime X
I am so glad you are ready to have another try I have missed you around, and have been thinking of you often :hug:

Trueblue, wow not long to go now. I have craved and eaten soooo much chocolate since my ET, I can't beleive how much of a pig I have been LOL. Honey good luck for Thursday, I have my fingers crossed X

Minime, I cramped from day of transfer, and am still cramping at this very moment. I dread cramps, I have suffered from cramping every month, but this time was obviously a good sign, so fingers crossed for you XX I never really had lots of EWCM, mabey because I was using the Crinone pessaries though, fingers crossed for you darling XXXX

Mum2b, how are you holding up?

Lairdoz, honey, I am praying for you, good luck sweetheart XX

CK77, Thanks :hug:

Maggie, Thank you so very much X

Brunette, thats a huge beta!! At 18dpo my beta was 700, then 21dpo it was 2000, so think theres only one in there ;)
OMG I still can't get my head around you having two in your tummy!! EEEKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

If I missed anyone, I hope you are doing well, and the wait isn't going to slow. Good luck to all.
This thread deserves a gold medal, you are all so very wonderfull XXXXX
Will be stalking you all XXXXX

thanks for all your support, just needed time out and some time to make some more big decisions.
All those TWW symptoms are just so tricky!!
Hoping to be back in here very soon, whether it's the right decision or not we'll find out, I'm doing FET straight off stim cycle BFN
And I'll be soaking up all the BFP vibes from here
Good luck all :crossfingers:, and sorry for all those with BFNs :hug:

Hey lovely ladies !

Murraycod - I'm sooo happy for you (except for the ongoing cramping!!) When do you go in for your next scan??

Trea, not long to go now! 4 days!! How long are you staying in Sydney for after the transfer? Hope it all goes really well for you!!

Airline ~ hey, I must of missed you the last time round in the TWW! It's great your not thinking about the TWW that much this cycle. My thoughts seemed to be a direct oposite from yours - when I did the stim cycle, I didn't really think about it too much, but with this natural FET, I do nothing but think about it!! My fingers are crossed for you though!! When is your BT?

Lairdoz, good luck :pray: for your BFP!!

Trueblue, only 3 days to go!! The symtoms sound promising too!!

Minime, good luck with your progesterone BT today. I have also been really crampy since my FET (1 June) - I didn't get crampy last time at all... not sure if its good or bad, but if murrycod had cramping the whole time, then maybe it is a good thing!! Next Monday is not so far away! Good luck!!

AFM - well, I've been getting really funny pains / feelings in my tummy since FET - but they are not bad and happy only ever so often. Not sure what to think!! I keep feeling by bbs to see if they are sore yet :redface: !! - just hoping for any symtom really!! Only 1 week and 1 day to go though! DH and I are going away for the long weekend to Rainbow Beach, so that should take my mind off it for a while (hopefully).

Time for a Family - stay strong and know we are all here cheering you on!

Mum2be - I actually just fly down and back in same day. I used to be a flight attendant for years and for my first few cycles I would not fly at all for the two weeks but the outcome was always the same whether I flew or not and the docs say it makes no difference so I just go for the day. Have a wonderful time at Rainbow for the long weekend and fingers crossed for those pains to be the good implantation kind!!

Cheers Trea

Hi Ladies
Airline ~ Welcome back hun, sorry must have missed your last post, think we may have posted at the same time. GL and FX for you. Hoping your holiday was just what your body needed and you get your BFP this time!

True ~ Thanks hun xoxo. Hope you're still getting your pg symptoms.

Ahurani ~ Welcome and wishing you all the very best, FX for you!

Murraycod ~ Excellent beta's - so happy things are going well!!

Timeforafamily ~ GL for this go, FX for you 2!!

Mum-2-be ~ Hoping those tummy pains are good signs, FX! Enjoy your long weekend away.

Lairdoz ~ F & T crossed for you! xo

AFM ~ Not feeling as confident - still getting some tummy pain but the extra CM has disappeared. And have been a bit :'( because we have no money due to 2 many bills and debts and just feel like nothing is really going our way. For quite a while now. If we could just sell this bloody tractor our lives would be a whole lot better. Sorry for the negativity, I know you guys understand though. xoxo

Group hug and sending out lots of stickyvibes xoxo

Loops: oh chick when that tractor sells just think how much easier it'll be I am sure it has to sell soon
AFM: still getting symptoms had some poached eggs on toast and five mins after eating them almost threw them back up again that could be because I did have a coffee this arvo blegh... I am still feeling good but at the same time I am starting to feel negative I think because we have never had a bfp I am expecting the same again.... need a pep up I think lol.... only three days to go

Thanks True, I really hope so, we are at a point where we can't afford to pay all the bills and we have a tax bill from the farm still and can't pay it so if we dont sell the tractor soon we could be at risk of losing our house or going to jail. I know thats negative but we just can't seem to cut a break and life just seems so unfair right now.
I know if I get a BFN - Im likely to be a mess. Sorry just have to vent.

I know how you feel about expecting a BFN, I get like that and did a lot before we got the BFP last time. I suppose if its meant to be it will be. If its not this time, I know it will be soon for you guys. You still have IVF to go to as well which should work in your case if the IUI doesnt. With the symptoms you are getting though I really dont think its going to be a neg.
Everything is crossed for you guys hun xoxo

Hi!

Loops - so sorry about your problems, I'm hoping that someone will buy that tractor from you soon. Life does seem so unfair sometimes.

True - It's sounding good for you! Hope you get your bfp!

Wow, I just realised there is a whole page of posts that I haven't read yet... let me try my best!

Airline - Good luck for your FET! It's good that you are more relaxed, hopefully that will mean a more positive result!

Trea - Good luck with your transfer!

Murraycod - Thanks for the good advice, hope everything goes well with you and the cramping stops soon!

Mum-2-be - is your BT next Monday? If so, we are BT buddies!! Good luck with everything!

Sorry to all those I missed, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of you!

AFM - I am really worried at the moment. I had a progesterone BT this morning and I missed the call back. They told me they wanted to start me on new meds and by the time I got the message it was too late to go in and get them. I'm going in the morning, but I think my progesterone is too low (they told me to take 2 of the gel tonight). They want to give me pregnol and switch from the gel to the pessaries. I went online to research and apparently the progesterone helps increase blood flow in the uterus to help implantation, so if mine has been low, it probably hasn't implanted. This has got me extremely stressed out, although I have been getting symptoms from the progesterone (very sore bb's - but I was getting them before the ET), so surely if there is symptoms, there is enough progesterone... Does anyone know anything that might help to ease my troubled mind for the next week?

Hey ladies,

Minime ~ don't worry (its not good for you!). Hopefully you get an explanation about the swap today from your FS.

Big hi to everyone else.

Thought I'd make a list of the BTs coming up:

trueblue ~ 10 June 2010
Loops ~ 10 June 2010
Minime ~ 14 June 2010
Mum2be ~ 15 June 2010
Ahurani ~ ???
Airline ~ ??
Lairdoz ~ ??

Can you guys help me fill in the blanks? Thanks.

AFM ~ I felt a little nauseous but not sure if its my mind or real! I don't test for another week, so it seems a little premature to feel anything ... I think I may be going nuts!! But, I did buy some Bio-oil this morning on my way to work ~ just in case!!

Sorry have been so quiet and no persies, am really sick with hopefully just a cold. Have my ET tomorrow so hope I am better by then as obviously don't want to take anything if I can avoid it.
Speak soon and hope all is going well ladies - bring on some BFP's!!! xxx

Hey girls....there's a few of us in here hey!
Loops - think we did post at same time! Still got fingers crossed for ya girl. I remember when previously you were trying to sell a piece of machinery...pretty sure it wasn't the tractor - towards end of last year. All the pressure and stress will be preventing you from a restful sleep which will impact on your days. Big hugs, I am sorry you're in this predicament.

Mumtobe - love that you're at work and popping in here to compile the list. Officially June 18th is my BT date, but like last time, DH & I decided we will do a HPT on 16th or 17th cos we want something about this process to be personal ie. we find out before the doc. My problem is my friend is coming over with her twins on 16th so DH said no way till after the visit in case it's bad news....but I like to test first thing in morning...but won't want to wait till 17th...oh the trials and tribulations!
I hope you continue to feel 'not quite right' ... sounds promising.

Minime - did you get any info? I didn't think sore boobs was a side effect of progesterone. Could be wrong though. Let us know what they said to you.

Lairdoz - how are you travelling?? Wow you're signature tells a story m'dear. I need to update mine...even my age isn't correct now. Tomorrow the ET? Hope you had a good weekend and let us know how you're doing.

Trea - you must be counting the days down too till Fri!!! What a long day for you though flying to SYD....hope you can rest that weekend.

Trueblue - hope you had a good time with your mum and I'm glad the film took your mind off things.

Ahurani - welcome and hopefully you won't have to hang around long and be bouncing over to the pregnancy forum soon. How you going with the Clomid? I didn't like it at all. Found one month it totally changed my personality and not in a good way....hopefully you're not suffering such side effects.

I have a sore neck now....sitting in bed having popped that pessary in.....so I'll go but everyone have as good a day as possible... x

Hi everyone
Fingers crossed for all!
I've got my BT on Friday, but not feeling even slightly positive. No symptoms and I had a couple of days of spotting following the transfer :( The test is for only 9 days after transfer - is this too early to tell? Maybe a progesterone check?
I hate waiting!!
Hopefully there are some BFPs over the weekend, and good luck for your ET Laidoz!

Hi Ladies

MiniMe ~ thanks hun, really appreciate it. I think one night not on progesterone shouldnt make much difference. I don't know about it helping implantation but it does assist to help the embryo stay. Hopefully it had already implanted and when you get on the progesterone it will help it too stay. I know its hard but try not to stress - I know how you feel as I had low P4 too. GL hun xo

Mum-2-be ~ thanks for doing the list. Im actually only on natural TWW so wont be having a BT unless I get positive HPT. Dont think im gunna test until Sat - If I can hold out LOL.
I hope your nausea is not just your mind - huh that sounds so strange. I hope it is a good sign though LOL. FX for you!!

Airline ~ thanks hun - hugs back! No it was the tractor, we've been trying to sell it for over a year, since we stopped farming :wall:
GL with the pesseries and the TWW in gen, FX for you hun!

Kass ~ Hi and welcome. Couldnt your spotting have been implantation blood - really hope so for you. That does seem very early for a BT :dunno: But all the best, FX for you.

AFM ~ Feeling a bit happier but still not 100%. Ive got headache though and not usually a good sign for me leading up to AF. Mind you I did still have a migraine before my BFP. So who knows - certainly not getting any hopes up if I can help it. Still have CM and strange tummy, bloated etc

Ladies ...

Updated list:

trueblue ~ 10 June 2010
Kass ~ 11 June 2010 (I agree with Loops, it seems a bit early - when was your last hcg shot?)
Loops ~ 12 June 2010
Minime ~ 14 June 2010
Mum2be ~ 15 June 2010
Ahurani ~ ???
Airline ~ 18 June 2010
Lairdoz ~ ??

Trueblue ~ its up to you to start the chain of BFPs!!!

AFM: Tommorrow is d day and am not feeling positive at all each time I think what if we actually get a bfp finally that horrible little part of your head that tells you but why get your hopes up nothing has worked yet so why this... I can't wait for tommorrow so we can get our answer this tww is killing me I am just trying to work out how we are going to deal with a negative I know this is only our first round of ai but when te doctors have found nothing wrong with either of you apart from dh's slightly low sperm count which shouldn't be effecting then why wouldn't the first round work...
I hate that i am feeling so negative hope you girls can stay more positive than me..
whatever tommorrow brings i know our journey will continue and we'll dust ourselves off if it's bad news and try again I just want to thank everyone for their support through these past two weeks I probably won't get a chance to get on here bfore we get our results tommorrow

Trueblue, goodluck tomorrow honey, am thinking of you X

Hi Ladies
Well some good news and some bad news last night. Good, is that the tractor selling vibes and wishes have worked, thanks so much to you all. A friend of a friend with a lot of money and a big slashing contract coming up has given us a verbal yes - he wants to buy it. I wont be jumping up and down until the money is in our bank account but very relieved and obviously thrilled Might take him a few weeks to get a little finance approved but Im happy with that.
So then because I was happier and we got a little money from DH's work I went out and bought couple of tests - wouldnt you know it BFN
So then we had to discuss last night would we go ahead and start the process for our July IVF or would we wait it out until Oct and save a bit more. We think its wise if we wait a bit and get rid of some debts - We are sick to death of the money stresses. So probably Oct unless we decided to go to the Melb clinic after a month or so then we can probably do it earlier.

True ~ FX and TX hun for tomorrow xoxoxo

Minime ~ I think we all go through the 'positive' thoughts and then the wave of 'negative' thoughts!! I was as positive as anything on Monday, but then yesterday, seemed to sink into a hole! Try to stay positive - less than 24 hours to go!! My fingers are crossed for you!!

Loops ~ I'm sorry to hear about your BFN. But I'm glad the tractor has 'verbally' sold!! Fingers crossed that it may just happen naturally in between your IVF cycles! Actually, there are a lot of stories that seem to happen that way as the couple has stopped stressing about the baby making - and it just seems to happen ~ I think recently it happened to Renee (in the other BB thread) last month! Who knows ...

BT List:

trueblue ~ 10 June 2010
Kass ~ 11 June 2010 (I agree with Loops, it seems a bit early - when was your last hcg shot?)
Minime ~ 14 June 2010
Mum2be ~ 15 June 2010
Ahurani ~ ???
Airline ~ 18 June 2010
Lairdoz ~ ??

HI Ladies,
I am still really sick (had to have my ET sitting up as I was coughing so much every time I laid down they said I should sit up and did so for the whole of my wait time after the ET too!!)
Thanks so much ladies for all your nice comments, I hope you are all in receipt of lovely BFP's very soon!! GL to everyone -
Kass ~ 11 June 2010 - 9 days after a blast is two weeks after O day, so it's not too early at all.
Minime, Mum2be (thanks for keeping a list!), Ahurani, Airline Goodluck ladies, hope the wait is going quickly for you and GL xxx
Loops - that is great news about the tractor, I hope this gives you another chance very soon and relieves some of your money stresses.
Trueblue - goodluck for tomorrow, you never know, this could be your month :)
It's so normal to feel negative and positive through the crazy 2WW, just know that it makes no impact on the outome, so don't feel bad if you aren't super positive, it won't change a BFP to a BFN!
I hope there are some nice BFP's in here soon.

My BT will be the 21st of June xx

Trueblue - best of luck for tomorrow's test.

Chrissy xx

Hi ladies

I know a few of you from previous transfers hope you don't mind me joining in. Had my transfer yesterday and have been sitting at home taking easy ever since.

I'll try to catch up with everyone soon but just wanted to also wish Trublue luck for tomorrow

Hey guys,

Sorry, a bit short on time recently... report writing time at work!
Just a quick good luck to True... try to stay positive!
Congrats Loop on the tractor... I'm sure it will be your time soon.
Mum-2-Be - thanks for making the list... my BT has changed to the 15th due to yesterdays meds.
Terry - welcome and good luck
All other BT's approaching very quickly good luck to you!

AFM - my progesterone scare still has me reeling a bit. Apparently mine was 26 and they like to have it over 30, so I don't know what to think about this. They also gave me a pregnyl shot, which is now a puffy red and itchy bump where the needle went in (about the size of a 50c piece). Still no signs at all. BBs not so sore any more and cramps have kind of died off, so I'm not looking very positive about this round. At least we have 3 frozen blastocysts so it shouldn't be too long until we can go for a FET.

Hey, sorry guys, just thought of a question I was meaning to ask you.
I've just been changed to progesterone pessaries (aren't they gross!) and I have noticed, that even though I am lying down for about an hour after putting them in (my dose is 2 at a time), they still leak (a lot) when I get up. Is this normal? I have to go to the bathroom straight away when I stand up and then... I don't know, it's just kind of, everywhere... Please tell me this is normal and I'm getting the right dose now!
Thanks!

Hi MiniMe
This is my first time with the pessaries too and yeah, they are a bit leaky. I take mine when I go to bed so it's not too bad -do you have to take morning ones as well? - They are a lot less messy than the crinone though
Loops - sorry to hear about your test - Like mum2be said, hopefully less stress will help next time
Trueblue - all is crossed!
Lairdoz - Hope you weren't too uncomfortable, and even more I hope it sticks!
AFM - still no symptoms. I'd like to think the spotting was implantation, but I think it was just a rough transfer. You're right lairdoz -it is a 5 day blastie so I guess 9 days is time.
Has anyone here had a +ve with no symptoms?

Hey ladies,

trueblue ~ I'm so waiting to hear good news today!! :crossfingers:

Kass ~ I was wondering the same thing. I had a pg last round (although lost after a few weeks) and the only thing I felt in the TWW was a pain in the middle of the night one night that lasted about 10 minutes. But no other symptoms. In any event, stay positive :thumbsup: !!

Minime ~ I have to use 2 per day (1 am and 1 pm). I don't get any leaking during the night, however in the morning when I go to the loo there is a little left. When I put the am one in, I also use a panty liner as some does slowly leak out during the day (and that's only with 1 put in). If your putting 2 in, I would imagine more would come out... but not sure - try not to worry about it though!! Now we are BT buddies!!

Terry ~ welcome back! Hope all goes well for you!! Let me know when your BT is so I can put it on the list.

Lairdoz ~ hope your feeling better soon! Hopefully it is one of the stories you will tell at the 21st birthday party!!

Airline ~ Hope all is going well for you!!

AFM ~ just cruising! going through positive spells and then negative spells!! More positive ones though! No change to symptoms - bbs (or more the right one!) are a little tender (but that may be because I keep feeling them to see if they are sore yet :hide: !!) Otherwise I feel fine! Just marking time till Tuesday morning!! DH and I will do a HPT that morning, so we can find out before the BT (we always do things together and finding out whether we are pregnant shouldn't be any different!).

BT List:

trueblue ~ 10 June 2010
Kass ~ 11 June 2010
Minime ~ 15 June 2010
Mum2be ~ 15 June 2010
Ahurani ~ ???
Airline ~ 18 June 2010 (HPT on 16th or 17th!!)
Lairdoz ~ 21 June 2010
Terry ~ ???

thanks everyone so much for all your support but i will be leaving you all now until next tww as I started bleeding today at about lunch time so I didn't need to wait for the results called the nurse and she's been chasing the results all day so when she calls in the morning with the results then she'll be able to discuss the game plan for the next round which is pretty much straight away i think
Am shattered and have had a few good cry's.. I hope to not have to see any of you back in the ttc threads goodluck girls and thank you all so much again

Im out too, Im spotting :(

trueblue: :hug:

sending hugs to all that need them today xx
