LTTTC Two Week Wait # 7

Welcome back N2L! Fingers crossed for natural miracles for both you and Loops- wouldn't that rock??

Coral I'm glad you're feeling up to another round already. Who decides if you need to wait or not? Is it a mutual thing btwn you and your care providers?

AFM- Still going on. Symptoms are less now than last week. Trying not to feel sad about not being nauseous all the time ;) Still got sensitive smell, emotional and getting up all night to wee lol so best to think of the positives!

Good luck everyone

Hey JosieJo,

Not too long now until your BT - yay :)! I hope :pray: those symptoms are still hanging around for you and that it means good things to come!

My clinic asked me if I wanted to go straight into another cycle and I was more than happy to as with a natural FET it is so non-invasive:). I remember they made me wait a month after a failed stim though to give my body a break even though I would have liked to have tried again straight away!

Sending you lots and lots of :pink-babydust:!

Hi girls, i have just read all of the posts in this thread- i didnt know this thread was here! Just posted something similar in another forum but will transfer it here as i think its more relevant here. I too am amidst the ol tww at the mo- i had my ET 5 days ago and im having lots of cramping and the 'normal' cramping in the uterus that i get between ovulation and AF. Therefore there are no 'special' or 'abnormal' signs for me. Im naturally inclined to think that my lil 4-cell embryo has not stuck. Surely if it had, i would have different signs to what i normally get? Since having my lap 2 years ago i started getting pains and cramping between ovulation and AF, never had that before. And this same cramping is happening now just as it normally would every other month.....

So i have nothing to do but sit and wait another 10 days until the BT because i have absolutely no idea, my body is not telling me anything new. I havent been pregnant before, so ive got no idea what my body should be telling me. All i know is, at the moment, my body feels like it usually does before i get another disappointing AF.However i do feel that there is a bit more going on down there, but i have no idea what it is. Im trying to stay positive though and take it in my stride.......so im getting a mixture of mild to semi-severe cramping- what i normally get each cycle. Confusing!

I think Josie Jo your not too different from me timeline-wise- both waiting for the BT- mine is on the 28th. I have booked myself a holiday for 2 weeks, 2 weeks after the BT- so either way i have something else to look forward to......x

Hi bianeczka

Just popping in to say cramping throughout the two week wait is entirely normal following an egg transfer.
The post transfer medications all cause cramping.

Hoping that helps put your mind at ease.

Hi Nothing2lose,

Oh ok i didnt really know that, i am on Crinone at the mo so im assuming this may cause cramping too, but my cramping 'patterns' are the same as usual, i.e. cramping immediately after ovulation, slight cramping then nothing, then about a week or so before AF severe cramping during the night that wakes me up. I got this last night which made me think its all over red rover. I slightly slackened off with my normal activities today as i felt a bit disappointed- couldnt go to yoga even and i never miss yoga. However i should stand tall and strong and dont think about it really....thanking you

Hi B! Well done finding the thread- they can hide around here can't they? Spoiled for choice! I've had no cramping at all...now I feel like I'm missing out! ;) I've had heaps of other things to tide me over- most notably breasts so sore i can't lay on my tummy comfortably to get a massage- which is just plain cruel! And no yoga for you? How's a girl to relax?? Hopefully things will settle down (in a good way!) and you'll be able to go back to it.

We are at similar stages. My BT is this friday and I'm both dreading it and extremely anxious for it's arrival- just so I know if it worked or not. I'm trying to decide when to do a HPT cause I want to have an idea of what's going to happen on friday, but again, I don't want to know if it's no- I'd rather live in a world of make-believe. It's made it a loooong two weeks. I was talking to a friend and started crying and couldn't stop for ages the other night...sigh. I was doing such a good job of coping up until then too! I wonder if it's the crinone? Stupid emotional and teary side effects!

Coral I'm glad you're still around. I am excited to see how you go.

N2L, Loops- How're things?

Good luck lovies!

Hi Ladies
Bianeczka ~ welcome. Advise I can give is try not to worry about symptoms too much they'll only make you crazy and the stress is probably not good. It could go either way - the cramps could be just the pre-tranfer and Crinone or FX'd could also be implantation cramps. AF and PG sysmptoms are too similar and so thats why its better to try and ignore them. hope tha helps :goodluck:

AFM ladies ~ BFN this month. AF starting and neg test. thanks for all your support and wishing you all BFP's!!

Hi everyone,

Thought i would pop in and join this thread as i am on my 2ww from my very first ivf. I am 5dp2dt and have to wait until the 30th july for my beta. I thought this might be a good way to pass the time by chatting to you lovely girls. Heres hoping we all get our BFP very soon...

all the best Kristie - hope it works 1st go!

Hi ladies :hello:
Just thought i would join you all here. I had a day 2 transfer on wednesday (just the one lonely embryo) with my 9th egg collection. Not really confident and haven't even bothered to book a blood test yet!!
Look forward to hearing some happy UTD news in here over the next few weeks! :goodluck:

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Hey girls. Just letting you know I followed the pattern of last weekend with what looks like a chemical BFP. Retesting on Monday but she told me 3 times she expected me to start bleeding over the weekend and mentioned that miracles do happen. Sigh. It's never a good sign when they start talking miracles...

Good luck to you all for your own journeys!

Hi everyone- I finally made it in here! Just had a transfer of a blasty- everything went perfectly and it thawed perfectly according to the experts, who were very positive ( unllike myself!) Can't wait to go mental with you all!!
JosieJo- sory to hear its not going well, I agree hearing about miracles is not a good sign, I've had a chemical bfp before its very disappointing, hugs for you xx

hey girls,
just have a question for you all that hopefully you can help me with, i am 7dp2dt and for the last 3 days i have been getting really nauseas for around 4-5 hours a day then it completely disappears. Have any of you experienced this after a transfer? I was wondering if i was coming down with something but i don't feel sick and it is not there constantly so i am totally clueless.
TIA

It is most likely the drugs you are taking. What luteal phase support are you on? (eg. Progesterone, pregnyl, etc)

It really is too early for morning sickness as implantation would only occur about now.

N2L- i was on pregnyl with 1shot on the sunday of my transfer and the other shot 3 days after transfer, i really think i may be coming down with somthing as i have been on pregnyl for a little while before egg collection aswell and i had no side effects, i really hope if i am getting sick that it doesnt affect my chances of this working.

hi kristie- being sick won't have any effect on your transfer, so try not to stress ( impossible I know).

Hows everyone else going?? I never get cramping during a tww, so lying on the couch watching tv all day but feel like a fraud cos i feel healthy! Trying to take it easy as possible, theres a long way to go though til my BT though.

FX for everyone to get a bfp xx

JosieJo :hug: its so frustrating having a chem pg, but i will still be praying for good results on monday:crossfingers: honestly you just never ever know in this crazy game!! Miracles really can happen...hang in there xxx

Saffy :leap: Yaaaa for PUPO!! Sounds like you are in a great position with a perfect blastie on board...i really hope he/she decides to stick around for the long long haul!!

Kristie, i hope you feel better soon and you aren't coming down with anything? Try not to stress if you do feel a bit off over the next few weeks, i have seen ladies who have been quite ill during 2WW and still managed a lovely sticky BFP...rest up and take it easy :bedtime:...its a good reason to curl up in bed with a good book anyway!! :D

Have a great night!

Hello all,

Well only 4 days to go for me until i have my BT and find out for sure about my 1st IVF transfer. Unlike many other ppl it seems, i have no desire to test early and then spend time evaluating results- are they correct, are they not- i am quite content to just patiently wait til thursday. Like most of you gals, learned patience is an unintended positive side effect of trying too long to conceive.

I have had very powerful cramps in my uterus area since transfer, and in particularly over the past few days. Im trying not to analyse it too much, but a couple times within the day i will distract myself to just dwell on it. If i didnt usually get these between ovulation and AF i would feel positive, however i normally do get these cramps- ever since my lap anyway. Maybe to do with the endo? I have no idea, and no one ever seems to give answers, but all i know is, i do get these cramps. This cycle though, it definitely feels more pronounced than normal. But hey, im not naive, i know it could also be the prelude to AF comin along....but anyway, its a lovely little distraction during the day to dwell on the positives for a bit.

I am very aware that this thursday will either be an unbelievably celebratory momentous day, or conversely, a day that is very much the opposite. I am aware of this huge divide in the emotional possibilities here...just taking it in my stride....

Kristie and Saffy- all the best for your tww- im hoping very much that you get your BFPs we are all with you!

B.
