I'm dying to know what happened to Infinity's cold pee. I hope you're doing okay and have some good news to share.
AFM - so, I think I'm psychic. I'm brushing my teeth this morning, and out of the blue this thought pops into my head - that they've had to thaw two embies because one didn't survive the thaw. I then thought 'don't be stupid, how would you know that? And besides, even if they did have to thaw two embies, we'll still have ten in the freezer.'
So we go down to RWH and whilst DH is parking the car FS takes me in to the little room. And he says "We've had to thaw two embryos today, as one of them didn't survive the thaw. But not to worry, you have ten left after today."
Ummm...okay...sure. And of course, I'm a little sad about that little embryo, falling asleep shivering in the cold all on its own. But I'm also a little freaked out about my apparent psychic abilities. Do you reckon I have some sort of psychic connection with my embies?
Anyway, Lucky Legs 11 was transferred this morning. Ten frosties left - that's a good number, right, but that's where they're staying for now, because Legs 11 is gonna be a keeper.
FET went fine - FS listened to me when I told him that the speculum (sp?) needed to be the medium kind, and it was smooth and straight-forward. Little Legs 11 was 6 cells at transfer time. Is that good? I've never bothered to ask.
I spoke with the Nurse afterwards and she said a few things that none of the others have said - besides 'don't eat soft cheese' she also said:
- don't have hot showers or hot spas (wha? Does she live in Melbourne? It's frickin 5 degrees outside!)
- don't have intercourse for at least a week (because having intercourse is the last thing you want to do when you're trying to get UTD) and
- no heavy lifting.
Does anyone else find these things a bit weird? I'm not going to find a hot spa anytime soon, but I like my hot showers (as opposed to luke warm or cold). And intercourse? Well, the chance would be a fine thing as TTC has ruined any romance in our lives.
And finally, I get a day's grace on the TWW - my BT will be on Friday 26 June, because the Clinic will be closed on the Saturday. Woohooo for me! I feel like I've cheated on exam!
Can't wait to see some BFPs in here soon. Keep us updated, and
The no heavy lifting I understand but my FS tells us to DTD as soon as possible after the transfer (I tell her we will at least wait until we get to the car). The hot spa - yep also fine - but nothing about hot showers - does this person like you??? That just sounds mean especially seeing as you are in Mel - OMG I can't feel my extremities-bourne.
You said 6 cell - what day was your embie at?
Of course you have a connection there our snow bubbies - I have a picture of mine on the fridge and I have a magnet on it that says - When I count my blessings I count you twice - oops that won't mean twins will it??????
Hugs and so glad it went well honey welcome to the official TWW!

Hi girls - have been out all day so only just got online.
Infinity - I hope you are doing ok hunny - did you end up testing?
Persephone1 - GL with your 2ww!!
Gogga - welcome and GL with your 2ww too!
Dellydoo - keep up with that studying hunny! I also shopped today and bought a cute work top that will totally fit a pg belly hee hee.
AFM - well, I think I should have held off on the POAS too like Infinity. I really only did it so that I would be prepared for Monday's result phone call. Today I was barely awake (been waking at 4am with the nerves/excitement and not getting back to sleep) and actually found it hard to hold the stick in the stream, PMSL. So I don't think it was 'wet' for the required 5 seconds, esp as the control line took a lot longer to come up than yesterday and it wasn't as dark.
Anyway, the second line was still there, but not quite as dark as yesterday. Also, not able to help myself, I decided to buy a stick-in-a-cup version at the shops and just did that one (I know, it's 4.30pm...) and it was a super-faint positive.
So now I'm thinking either a) it's pregnyl still leaving my system after 10-11 days (1500 shot) or b) I was pg but it's gone or c) I am pg.
ARGH! Why did I do this to myself? Because I couldn't stand the suspense I guess.
Also I'm still getting random twinges and cramps in my ovaries, and a little bit in the general 'womb' area - doesn't exactly feel like AF coming but doesn't feel great either. I know I'm still recovering from EPU but that was 2 weeks ago yesterday.
So, to sum up this monologue - I have NO freaking idea what's happening and am fully wearing the CRAZY pants. Thank god I took Monday off work. Thanks girls for helping me through this!!! xo

That sucks honey the TWW is just awful because it messes with us so much - I so hope it's great news on Monday sweetheart and am shaking my fist at the universe on your behalf. AFM - I was talking to my DP and saying that I thought I was doing well this time - and he looked at me (wearing full body armour, hiding behind the couch and waving a white flag) that the second week is when I usually go totally bats! Great!
Hugs

Mrs P - I can fully sympathise with the HPT insanity - I once 'saved' my last HPT for 14DPO, only to get no result at all - no control, no BFP. I then had no pee left and had to wait until the following day to test again. And my problem with the HPTs is that if it's a BFN, I over-analyse and wonder whether it's REALLY a BFP, and just too early to test. I hope it is a BFP for you chook, good luck. Are you testing tomorrow?
Delly - I know what your DH means I go increasingly mad in the second week. My DH helpfully suggests that I 'just stop worrying about it,' which is such useful advice IF ONLY HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE. I've suggested that he mind his own business
And welcome Wavegirl! and good luck for Tuesday - for you.
Hi all, I so have been awoiding this tread as trying so very hard to chill out during this TWW. But I have now officially put on my very large crazy pants. Like infinity my final BT is on monday so as impaitent as we all are I POAS today. Got a second line yeah, but still thinking it is the pregnyl from my last boost shot last monday. Oh who the hell am I kidding i am planning my maternity leave and that after that i will take my long service leave and all the great things i will do with DS now that I wont be working and I must go and enroll him in 3 year old kindy now that he wont need to go to day care anymore. See what I mean very large crazy pants, HUGE. Well off to have pizza for dinner will update you in the morning with POAS number 2.
Saph! I've been planning my Maternity Leave for three years now, and saved up all my Rec Leave to the point where I haven't had a proper holiday for ages! But...it sounds like you might just have reason to celebrate (I'm not helping the crazies, am I?) - good luck, hope it gets confirmed next week!
