Terry - Sorry to hear that af turned up... big hugs to you x
happybaby - How are you feeling? Is it just you & I waiting in here? I am having blood test this Friday. Have been feeling ok... some days I think oooh I may be pregnant & other days I dont feel anything! Just trying to stay calm & think positive thoughts... that is getting harder as BT is getting closer... lol!
Hi Joy
I'm feeling ok. Have had some symptoms but it could go either way. I won't POAS and will wait until Monday for the bt. How about you?
Best of luck for Friday.
Xx HB
Hi Happybaby
Well I am really starting to get anxious and looking forward to finding out either way tomorrow. I caved and did a POAS! Couldn't help myself... even though I told myself I would not do one this time! I did one of those digital ones yesterday & this morning and they both came up 'pregnant' 2-3 weeks. I really dont know though because I had my last 1500iu pregnyl shot on Sunday so it could be residual pregnyl! Anyway will get the result tomorrow!
So you def are not going to POAS?

Joy08 - sounds really promising - everything crossed for you for your results tomorrrow.
Oops!
HappyBaby all the luck in the world to you too. Hang in there over the weekend - it's hard isn't it. Good luck for Monday. xx
Hi Joy
Best of luck today.
As for me AF turned up yesterday and I got my bt moved to today to confirm a BFN.

Thats awesome Joy!!!!!!!
Yayayayayayayayay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sent via my vortex manipulator
Joy - sent you a PM but CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!!!!!! Such fantastic news :dance:!
happybabby - I'm really sorry to hear that the nasty witch has showed up :hug:.... it's just not fair. :pray:'ing that it will be your turn next month, hun :hug:.
AFM - I will hopefully :pray: be posting back in the 2ww as of Thursday if our lone little emby survives the thaw :crossfingers:.
Whoop whoop.... Love it when there's a BFP!!!!
:confetti::confetti:
Congrats Joy, H&h 9 months!
That's great news Joy! :dance:
Hey Ladies,
Looks a bit quiet in here at the moment... is anyone currently in the 2ww?
I have some great news! My last remaining emby survived the thaw beautifully and was transferred today :dance:! Was so surprised and happy when I heard as I was preparing myself for the dreaded phone call to be advised not to come in.
Had a really good day with acupuncture before and after transfer :). Emby did get stuck in the catheter though :(. I looked up ‘Dr Google’ of course, and there seems to be plenty of BFP’s despite emby’s getting stuck so I am trying to take this as a positive in that I have a really sticky one on board :pray:.
Good Luck :goodluck: to anyone currently in the 2ww and for those that are lurking and not posting!
:stickyvibesgirl: to all!
PS: Joy - Thx for the PM :hug:... looks like your positive vibes helped! I will try and PM you tomorrow :hug:.
Hi Coral. Wishing you all the best for your TWW such great news your frosty made it, I hope this is lucky last. I am 10dpo but not feeling very confident at all, AF feels like it is on its way and all my hpts are bfn :(, and I have done quite a few. I'm using Internet cheapies measuring 10miu so I don't think there is any chance. Will be stalking to see how you go. Xx
Coral - Glad all went well with the transfer! It's great you had acupuncture before & after too :) Sending lots of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: your way!
Lots of :stickyvibesgirl: to anyone else in the tww too :)
ps - thanks for all your well wishes on the bfp everyone. Have blood tests for the next 4 weeks so just hoping all goes well & my levels keep rising as they should.

Afternoon Ladies,
Baby Dreamtime - Hey hun, 10DPO is really early to detect anything on a hpt no matter how sensitive. I think waiting until 7dp5dt is usually a safer bet when testing at home. I really believe that there is still a chance for you yet :pray:. Hopefully those magical two lines are still yet to appear and are waiting on your hcg to get stronger :crossfingers:. The 2ww does your head in, hey? :hug:
Joy - Thx for the sticky vibes... I certainly need them! Good Luck :goodluck: with your BT's over the next few weeks... make sure you keep us informed on how you are going! So exciting for you :dance:.
AFM - Not much to report today... doing 3 x 400mg pessaries a day due to break through bleeds before BT for my last transfers. Is ok at the moment but will certainly be interesting come Monday when I am back at work! I will work something out though.... :think:. Keeping everything crossed that this little one on board with be my 3rd time and lucky last! :pray:. Am so refraining from POAS'ing this 2ww.... it's going to be hard but I am going to do it! Best thing is, my BT falls on a Sunday so my clinic offered to do the the BT test on the Saturday rather than make me wait until the Monday!
:stickyvibesgirl: to all!!
Morning Ladies,
Baby Dreamtime - hey Hun, hope u r doing ok and have seen a change on the HPT's :pray:.
AFM - Things not looking good :(. No cramping or implantation pains like with my previous BFP and chemical pregnancy. Also had bad diarrhea and vomited several times last night (sorry TMI :redface:). If my little emby had a chance I can't see it happening after been sick :(.
Hi Coral. Unfortunately I am out this cycle as AF has arrived. I will take the month off and then try with our frosties.
I hope no symptoms doesnt mean anything for you. With my cycles both positive and negative I have never had any symptoms at all so never knew. Will cross my fingers for you. I know of quite a few BFP with the last frostie. Will you poas this time? will be stalking xx
Hi to anyone else in the TWW xx
Hi girls
Sorry you're out Baby Dreamtime. It's always the most sucky part of the cycle, and doesn't seem to get less sad. Enjoy the freedom of the rest cycle- and then fingers crossed for the thaw.
Coral my fingers are crossed for you! As far as I can tell no symptoms doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Perhaps you're just taking things in stride? We look to be cycle mates don't we? I hope all goes well for you
I'm back in again on my first thaw cycle- au naturale! Feel like its a bit of pretend IVF as there have been so few interventions. I don't have any hormones to feel sick on or to give me false hope...which is kinda sad...I liked some hope ;)
I feel like we get 2 chances with this cycle- my natural ovulation and my little embryo- so I have a a hand crossed for each of them!
Blood test in just under forever (Fri 23rd)
Standing by for some positives ladies!

How rude of me! Hi and good luck to anyone else! Typical me, barge on in and not pay attention to things!
X
Baby D – I’m so sorry the nasty witch has turned up :hug:. It is so horrible when she arrives before the BT :shakehead:. It happened to me on my 1st IVF and just added salt to the wound. I seem to have a problem with AF trying to break though (not sure if I have a LP problem?) and mentioned this to my clinic that it doesn’t seem right so they have upped my pessarie dose from 2 x a day to 3. Might be worth mentioning to you FS/ Nurse if it is a recurrent thing? I hope you enjoy some R &R time during your month off :hug:. Keep me posted on how you are going and :pray:’ing that you will be successful on your 1st FET when you get back, xoxo
JosieJo – Ha, can totally relate to natural FET’s feeling like pretend IVF! DH and I also DTD when my BT showed that I ovulated :).
Does seem a little quite in here at the moment so yay for a cycle buddy!
You are right… I am taking it in my stride as I feel a heap of pressure for this cycle to work as we are onto a stim after this if need be. Have also been thinking of changing clinics so even more pressure if things don’t go as hoped.
When did you have ET? The 2ww takes forever, hey? I’m lucky and get to test a day early as BT falls on a Sunday. I hope you are feeling nice and relaxed and that your little emby is starting to settle in nice and tight for the next 9months :pray:!
AFM - Still not much unfortunately :rolleyes:. Wish I had something more exciting to report but just don't have any definate signs. Still in with a chance of course but I am just not feeling too confident.
Lots of :stickyvibesgirl: for us and anyone lurking!
Hi All
Been lurking and keeping an eye on things in here.
BDT - so sorry to hear that this cycle hasn't worked out for you. :hug: GL with your frosties for next time though - how many do you have?
JosieJo - all the very best for this cycle. I'm hearing you on the pretend cycle thing - but now that I'm starting a stim cycle I'm realising how much better it is doing a FET. Good luck!!!
Coral73 - so pleased to see you back in here and everything crossed that this is your lucky, sticky, wonderful embie. I know that feeling of really really wanting your last FET to come through for you so you don't have to get back on the fresh stim cycle roundabout. So really hoping for you that this is it. Don't worry too much about the vomiting etc I really think that if it's going to make it then it's going to make it regardless of those things so stay positive.
It's interesting that you both you and JosieJo are giving your natural cycle a bit of a whirl at the same time. With all our FET's DH and I were always a bit unsure about what to do. Kind of wanting to try naturally at the same time as we were doing our FET but at the same time our clinic includes something on our consent form about not trying naturally during IVF cycles. I guess they don't want to risk getting two positives perhaps?
Anyway hope you're all hanging in there and coping okay at this stressful time.
Loads of goodluck:goodluck: and :stickyvibesgirl: to you all.
KMond – Thx hun :hugs:. I really hope :crossfingers: that this is one also… Mum said the same about not being well that it wouldn’t affect things so I think I will let that go now as one less thing to worry about is always a good thing :).
About doing DTD, can you believe that I actually got scared afterwards and said to DH that what if we end up with twins? He soon put my mind at ease as the chances of us falling naturally are about 0.05% chance! Doesn’t hurt to try anyway and my acupuncturist encourages it around ET.
Starting to do my head in a little now… still not feeling very hopeful…. it is the old sentiment that it would be just too good to be true attitude! Hopefully I am proved wrong in a big way though :redface:! Feeling very bloated today and getting cramping so might be AF trying to push through or a build up of the progesterone (am on 3 x a day now).
Good Luck with :goodluck: with your stim cycle! I am :pray:’ing that you get lots of good quality emby’s and that you have a 100% fertilisation rate (wouldn't it be just wonderful!) :crossfingers:. I will be stalking you along the way, he, he!
JosieJo – Hope you are doing ok :hug: and not going too stir crazy! Thinking of you and sending lots and lots of :stickyvibesgirl:
Hi everyone,
Thanks Coral re your advice re prog. I do have a LP defect but am already on 2 crinone daily, not sure how much more would be overkill. You are I think about 10dpo (sorry for stalking:))). If i was you I would have poas a million times already. Are you holding out until BT? oh I hope this is the one for you. X
Kmond yes of course I remember you and had checked on you many times. So sorry to hear about your recent FET but hope your coming stim cycle gets you your BFP. I am just hanging out waiting and feeling ok about it all we have 4 blasts in the freezer so hoping our next bub is in there. At the moment we are saying this was our last stim so all my hopes are riding in these frosties. Good luck for your coming TWW and will be watching from the sidelines x
Josie hope you are doing ok
GL to anyone else in the TWW xx
Hi,
I'm just going through my first IVF cycle. I have egg retrieval in 2 days (I hope). Is anyone out there at the same stage and we can 2ww together? Or anyone have advice for me? Feeling pretty yuk, but all is going well for me so far.
Good luck to you all
Xx
ElliottIllawarra
Hey Ladies, quick one from me... AF arrived this morning so I am out :(. Good Luck :goodluck: to everyone else in the 2ww!
Ahhh Coral! No good :( Hugs for you my friend!
Hi ElliottIllawarra and welcome. We're a little quite here this time round but the love's still strong! Is your egg retrieval today? Best of luck!
Hi and stickies to any one else!

Afternoon Ladies,
As per my earlier post, as you know, my AF had arrived :(.
I need to start at the beginning, so here we go:
At approx 2-3am this morning I dreamt that my period had arrived (it was so livid and felt so real). I was really upset in my dream and was trying to tell or convince someone in it that I could still be pregnant though???? Anyways, I woke up and then went to the toilet at approx 3:30am and wiped and saw that the toilet paper was dark. I turned the light on and of course there was a large swipe of bright red (sorry TMI :redface:) so knew my dream was a premonition of some sort and that AF had arrived. I went back to bed and consoled myself back to sleep thinking that I couldn't even except that it was all over even in my dream and was still trying to protest that I might be pregnant :doh:! My alarm then went at 4:30am so I could insert my morning pessarie.....I thought I better do it anyway and got up and did it, again more red.
I then woke at 6:00am and went to the loo and surprise, surprise... more red. Knew AF was here :(. DH & I went and had the BT done as per protocol this morning so I could have confirmation to stop the pessaries. I told the clinic nurse that AF had arrived and asked if there was anything else I could do as this cycle my pesseraie dose was upped from 2 to 3 p/day and still my period pushed through. She said there is not much else they can do and that the pessaries don't always hold off AF, however, they do help you if you are pregnant.
So anyways..... my clinic called just after lunch and my nurse asked if I was sitting down. I said that I was as I was driving at the time (wasn't too interested in the conversation at this stage) and then she blurted out 'congratulations you are pregnant'! I was in disbelief and said are you sure and did she have the right results? She said it was my name at the top of the form - no mistakes. I burst into tears and didn't believe her of course and she said that I definitely am and that my numbers were strong - Hcg: 167 and Progesterone: 70 :dance: :dance:! I asked her about the bleeding and she said that my situation is exactly why they tell girls never to stop the meds even if they have a bleed as there is still a chance you could be pregnant. She said not to be concerned about the bleed as some people do get a breakthrough bleed at this time.
I can't believe it :o :o! DH & I are just so, so happy!!
AAAARARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Thats amazing Coral! Holy crap! How much were you in denial/shock/happy disbelief when she told you?? Weeeee! Good for you!
Thanks for coming back and telling us the long story- it was perfect- I was sad then amazed and excited :D
The very best of wishes for a beautiful and healthy pregnancy for you.

Thx JosieJo :hug:
Was defintely in shock about the results..... had not one inkling at all (unless you count my dream of course :)!)
Good Luck :goodluck: for this cycle hun and I hope the BFP's keep coming!
ElliottIllawarrra - I hope you stay is short and sweet on Bellybelly and that you are one on the lucky ones who get it 1st go :pray:.
Coral,
Whoop, whoop.... :happyforyou:
Thatis awesome!! How did you not crash the car!!!
So happy for you hun, our bubs are almost the same age!!!
Good luck with all, h&h 9 months!
Coral! Congratulations I tried to pm you but BB is saying your mailbox is full. So happy and excited for you and hope the bleeding has stopped and you are celebrating look forward to hearing how you go.
Gl to everyone else x
Coral that is awesome news!!!! :happyforyou: Congrats to you & your DH! You must be over the moon!

CONGRATULATIONS CORAL!!! What wonderful news!! :leap:
Sometimes i think our mind/subconscious just knows whats happening in our body...hence the dream!
So happy for you and your DH, enjoy!
Yogi xxx
Jayjaye -Thx hun :hug:.... I don't know how I didn't crash the car either as I my hands were shaking so hard and my heart was just racing! Hope you and the family are doing well.
Baby Dreamtime - Sorry, I've cleared my inbox again :doh:! Thank you so much... was such a nice surprise and totally unexpected as you could tell from my 1st PM! Talk to you soon, xoxoxo
Joy08 - Yay! So did not think it was going to happen as this was our lucky last little embie! Was just excited that the little bean thawed in the 1st place let alone being the lucky one to stick as well (although we did DTD when I ovulated as well so I guess you just never know which one it is or I guess there could be 2 :o!)
Yogi - Thax also hun :hug: I so agree with you..... was such a strange dream and I remember feeling so frustrated and distraught that I could still be pregnant even though it appeared that my AF had arrived :think:!
I have my follow up bhcg test tomorrow so :pray:'ing that my numbers are doing what they are supposed to be doing and doubling nicely :crossfingers:.
:pink-babydust: to all in the 2ww.
Yay...congratulations Coral thats wonderful news!!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!!! xxx
Coooorrrrrraaaaaaalllllllllllllll!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That's brilliant news!!! So so pleased for you. After it got stuck in the tube it really did turn out to be sticky - how funny and fab!!
Have you had another follow up BT? So excited for your - hop all continues to go well.
Hi to everyone else too!!
Amy_jellybean - Thx Amy :)
KMond - Thx also :hug:! I had a follow up BT yesterday and my hcg increased from 167 to 498 (1.9day doubling time) and my progesterone increased from 70 to 92 - yay!!!! I'm going in for another BT tomorrow more for reassurance than need as my clinc offered it if I wanted to....
So, so :pray:'ing that I have a sticky little bean on board! :crossfingers:
Good Luck :goodluck: for your next stim hun... I really hope it is the one :pray:.
:pink-babydust: to all in the 2ww or about to transfer.
just sending some sticky vibes to all TTW ers... best of luck and hoping for some more BFP s soon. x o
