Hi,
Just a quick one, had my BT today. Not good news. My hcg dropped to 13. So it's all over, the nurse said I would probably start to bleed over the next couple of days.
This so not fair. I know I said I wanted to be pg for Mothers Day this year but I didn't mean like this.
Anyway I just wanted to stop in and say thanks to you all for your support and kind words. And I guess it's back to the AC thread for me. Thanks again guys
Boc just wanted to say how sorry I am for you. I am thinking of you and I am really hoping things start looking up for you. Sending you all my love and big hugs. Take care of yourself xxxxx Mahli xxxx
So sorry to hear that BOC. I agree, it is not fair.
Boc - I am so sorry to hear your numbers haven't climbed. I know how heart breaking that is. Hang in there...never give up!!! Take care of yourself :)
AFM - I have had a shocker 24 hours....I had a bleed last night and ended up at the medical centre having to get a progetserone jab to make sure I didn't mc. I had blood tests done this morning at IVF and levels look okay. They said maybe just one of things!! Boy did I have a huge emotional night....so hard going through this everytime. Keep kleenex in business!! FS now doesn't want to see me until next week for a scan....which is going to be very a long wait!! So still having my jabs every 3 days though....stay in there little baby :pray:
I guess I should leave the 2WW thread now....will keep checking how you are all going.
Hang in there.....I want to to see lots more BFP's!!
Kittycat27- My 4 year old asked how babies were made and I replied....It is very hard work!! Which isn't wrong....she was happy with that...for now!
Hi all, Boc im really sorry to hear about your levels. Hope your feeling ok :hug:
Im out this time as well, AF arrived on mothers day what a present. So ive had my teary and have decided that im going to give up on the medical side for now. If it happens naturally then so be it. Ive had enough of the poking and proding and hormones that they pump into me, Its just to depressing. So im going to try some natural therapies, maybe acupuncture. Anyone used it before? Not sure it can work for PCOS. Anyway :pray: you all get your BFP soon. :bluedust:
And thankyou for all the advise
BOC so sorry to hear that things haven't worked out for you this time. These things really aren't fair. Anyway I am thinking of you and hope you are feeling better soon.
Coco1411no worries I hope you got good levels at your BT
Hey girls,
Well, I promised myself this cycle (FET) I would not obsess, I would lurk a little but not post (cos that made me CRAZY last cycle. Serious, I was a nut) and most of all, I would NOT under any circumstances, POAS earlier than the assigned date.
Well I have cracked on all 3 counts. Obsessing - TICK. Posting - TICK. POAS - TICK.
*deep sigh*
I am freaking out and a nervous wreck.
FET was 01/05. AF due 10/05. POAS - 12/05. BT 24/05.
Well I took the POAS this morning. I thought "one day early, cant hurt". It hurt alright. BFN. I am torturing myself trying to figure out if it should definately be showing now, a week and a half after the FET... AF has not arrived yet and I am shocked. Last cycle it was right on time (g'damn it!) and I had all the symptoms a few days before it arrived.
This time, nothing. I am having some odd pains, kind of like stitch crossed with constipation (sorry gals TMI) across the top of my tummy and sore boobicles. But no AF. My FS has moved my BT forward to tomorrow. I am expecting a bfn. The poas neg has kind of convinced me that i cant possibly be preg - I mean could I?
Sheesh - just ignore me. I am going nuts...
Anyways, I am so happy for all the girls with BFP's this month. How wonderful for you all! Seems something is in the water this month!
And for all you sweet ladies with BFN's :( I am so sorry. Next cycle could be the one right?
OK, hugs to all. I better go try to sleep. Pretty sure I will be tossing and turning for hours though.
Sammie
Congratulations Mahli - fantastic news, wishing you all the best for a dream pregnancy. x
BOC - I'm so very sorry. I was always thinking about you. It hurts and it is definately not fair. Hoping you find the strength you need to get through this. :hug:
Jodz - :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: Sorry you are off to a rough start, am thinking of you and hoping all will be ok.
Chellie - sorry AF arrived. Best of luck trying naturally.
Sammiejam - Hi, hoping it's a BFP for you. I have been exactly the same as you...
AFM - POAS yesterday after a really bad weekend - hoping for some good news to pick me up a bit. BFN - would have been DPO12 - so should be showing by now. My younger sister announced her pregnancy on Mother's day - I am happy for them but it's absolutely shattered me - combined with Sunday supposed to be my first Mother's day if things were different - it's all become too much. I am sure this FET was not successful - I just know it. I can't sleep - keep waking up about 2 am and have to get up. No symptoms, BFN on POAS, and I cannot stop crying. I just don't have the strength to do this anymore right now. Think it's time for a TTC break.
Thanks for your support all and good luck for everyone still in their TWW xx
(((((((((infinity)))))))))))
Aw hon, I am feeling your pain. We are in the same boat arent we. I went for the BT. I didnt want to go because I feel I already know the results :( And its just going to hurt so much to have it confirmed.
I would take a break TTC but we are worried about the proposed changes to medicare and want to get as many eggs collected as we can this year.
*deep sigh*
Hugs for everyone...
Sammie
Jodz that would have been so scary. Hope everything is ok.
Chellie sorry to hear AF arrived. Yes i have heard that accupuncture helps PCOS but it just takes time. Worth a try though if thats what you feel you want to do.
Sammie best of luck with your results today. Hope the BT proves your stick wrong :crossfingers:
Infinity it is so hard when we hear people around us are pregnant. No matter how happy we are for them, it doesnt make it any easier. I have 5 family and friends all due in the next 3-4 weeks and it is so hard on me. I keep thinking, that could have been me!!!
Under a week to go now for my test. Feels like forever away! I have been having these pains on and off down low on my belly right in the centre. Mainly when i walk around for a while or if i get up quickly or sneeze etc. Never had this before, hope its a good sign. Anyone ever experienced this?
Hi ladies, I too find myself starting the TWW. I'm 1dpt, so still very optimistic and managing not to stress too much as I know there's no possible way I could have any pregnancy symptoms at this early stage!
Thanks to the poster earlier in the thread who put down the times for what's happening on the inside in terms of dpt. I found it very informative.
I think the worst part about this TWW for me will be the bloating I'm having atm. I already look like I'm 16 weeks pregnant! Here's hoping that the baby catches up with my tummy in the appropriate time! :lol:
Hi again girls.
Got my BT back. BFN as expected :(
I am not as devistated as I was the first time. I am going to try and pull myself up by the bootstraps and try again as soon as I can.
*deep sigh*
At least I can stop taking that damn crinone for a while. I hate that stuff.
Sammiejam so sorry to hear about your BFN. I hope you are smiling again soon and you have better luck next time.
Infinity don't give up on the BFP just yet. My sister had a couple of false negative's when she fell pregnant. My fingers are still crossed for you. I hope you sleep well soon.
I also agree that it is hard to hear other pregnancy news, particularly on Mothers Day. I too have a number of friends due over the next couple of months, some of which started TTC well and truly after us. While I am happy for them all, I sometimes find myself staring at their bellies wistfully.....
Meo good luck as you start your TWW. I had a bit of bloating when I first started my treatment but this has gone down since I stopped my injections.
AFM - not feeling any preg symptoms. Still haven't POAS, going to wait for my BT. 2 more sleeps till then.
hi everyone,
thanks for all the great posts! i am in my first cycle and a little scared and in awe of the people who have had success. it seems like a hard thing to do, but good to know you can get there.
i am SOOOO glad i found this site. (still working out some of the acronyms tho...) IVF has turned out to be a whole new world of medicationsand things that other people would find it hard to understand. my hubbie is wonderful :kiss: but still hard for him to fully get it as he's not the one taking the medication, wondering if his body will 'do the job' or not.
have been on down reg since april and then had ET on Sunday. had slight overstimulation and have been on monitoring but okay now. the crinone is giving me cramps and some nausea, pretty much like a period, but still more comfortable than the bloating and pain with the overstim.
have been keeping positive. not sure whether to believe it will happen and be disappointed, or not get my hopes up. my husband really keeps me going and cheers me up on my bad days. i just keep thinking that we're in this together and we'll just keep working at it until we get lucky!
still v. disappointed that the government is planning to cut medicare rebates for IVF (or that's what they've been saying at my clinic). it's hard to accept when you're so focused on starting your own family with IVF.
good luck to everyone on the thread, hope this time is lucky for you! :loveshower:
Sammie so sorry to hear your news. Great to hear the positive attitude. Best of luck.
Mitf, two sleeps, wow, not long at all. Good luck.
Jay-belle hope that it is first time luck for you. Hope the next couple of weeks go past quickly for you.
Well i am feeling horrible. Started getting a tingle in my throast yesterday mid afternoon which escalated to a very very sore throat and dripping nose last night. Could barely swollow. Took some panadol and now feeling a little bit better but not the best. I hope this doesnt affect my chances of the little embie surviving :doh:
Thanks Paula, hope you're feeling much better soon. Its tough how every little thing that happens leaves you wondering how embie is doing. I reckon it would take more than a cold to stop embie settling in and getting comfortable tho. sending you some good vibes :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Mitf - good luck for your BT, got my fingers crossed for you :pink-babydust::bluedust:
sammiejam - really sorry about your BFN, hope that next time will be different.
Meo - good luck with your TWW, hope you're getting through it okay. i just noticed we have our BT on the same day! :crossfingers: we'll both have good news.
AFM, just hoping little embie will attach and hang around. having okay days so far, although the crinone really kicked in today and i've been on a real emotional rollercoaster, had a fight with my husband (not the best thing when i'm trying to cut down on stress, and i had to start it... :doh: ) and some really bad cramping right after the fight. think i'll go and lie under my doona and be quiet for the rest of the day... :shhh:
I got my progesterone levels back for my cd 21 test, but it was cd 22..they're at 46.
Is that good? Im not medicated, we're TTC naturally at the moment.
My temps are still looking good so im keeping my everything crossed at the moment!
Woo hoo! My FF told me I have possibly got a triphasic chart! :confetti: keeping everything crossed still!
ps...I tested and it was bfn this morning :lol: oh well!
Looking good Eliza. Fingers crossed your temp keeps rising.
Still suffering from a stuffy runny nose :cold: On the other hand, only 4 more sleeps to go!!
Hi everyone,
I hope you are keeping sane on the TWW.
I am happy that the wait is now over for me, although sorry to report that it is a BFN. I am not really surprised. While AF hasn't arrived yet, I had a feeling it was going to be negative. I have made an appointment with out FS to see what the next steps are. Looks like we might be heading over to IVF. A big step but I think it might help us get closer to our dream.
Anyway, I wish you all the best for the rest of your wait. :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:. I will pop in evey now and then to see how you are going.
Mitf - I am so sorry to hear that this one hasn't worked....I know how hard it is to cope with all the highs and lows of the 2ww and then to get a BFN is the last thing you want. Maybe taking the next step to IVF is a good thing....I have friends that have done this and that extra little bit of help is all the have needed to reach their BFP. Thinking fo you x
Infinity - how are you going?
AFM - I had a bit more spotting on Wed so went back for more BT's and all still looks okay. We have found out I need a progesterone shot every 2 days not 3 as my levels dip a bit. I am having an ultrasound tomorrow as I will be 6 weeks and I am absolutely petrified that this will show the worst (as they have in the past) but in another way it will be nice to know if there is a baby in there thriving!! Argghh the anguish never goes :doh:
Everyone else I hope things are looking good....hang in there :p
:hello: everyone.... this is my first time in the TTW thread ... i had my first ET today (we didnt get any frosties this cycle but hoping we dont need them) .... so i just wanted to say a quick HI and goodluck to everyone ... I hope everyones dreams come true in the next couple of weeks
:goodluck: :fingerscrossed:

Hi Nikki - and welcome. Hope things go well for you and you're lucky first time round.
Mitf - DH and I have started IVF after a couple of years of trying, and its not so bad as I thought. Hope it works out for you.
Jodz - Good luck for your ultrasound, fingers crossed for you.
AFM, been suffering really bad cramping and joint aches on the crinone. They lasted two nights and a whole day, on and off. Has anyone else had really bad cramps? Is it a good sign or a bad sign???
Sammiejam - so sorry for your bfn. You sound so positive though, best of luck for your next try. x
Mitf - so sorry to you too for your bfn. Best of luck with IVF if you decide to go there. x
Meo, Jaybelle, Coco1411 and Nikki - good luck with your TWW, here's hoping for BFP's at the end of it for you all.
Paula - I've just had that cold - so horrible. Hope you feel better soon. Not long to go now - fingers crossed for you.
Jodz - I'm not doing so well but thanks for asking after me. I'm crossing everything for your scan today - here's hoping you see a beautiful, strong heartbeat. xx
AFM - had my BT this morning but I already know in my heart it's BFN. Still not sleeping, still crying a lot. I had a chat to DH last night and we think it's time for a TTC break. the last two FET's we've done I haven't even been excited or hopeful in the slightest - I'm kind of numb inside and just doing this because this TTC thing is just 'what we do' now. I'm hoping a break (and some counselling) will get me in a better frame of mind to keep trying. I'll be hanging around to see how you all go and offer support when I can though.
Best of luck to anyone I might have forgotten.
mitf sorry to hear you got a BFN
jodz glad all is still looking good.
Nikki best of luck in this TWW. Hope you get a great result at the end of it!
infinity go with your instincts and take a break. It might just be exactly what you and your DH need.
Have been having some light cramps today and have had some brown spotting on and off. Trying to stay really positive and wishing the weekend away (as ridiculous as that sounds) in hope that Monday arrives quickly and doesnt give AF a chance to sneak in.
Paula - thanks for your support. I hope this weekend goes fast for you. Hoping Monday brings you what you wish for. I'll be thinking of you over the weekend and keeping everything crossed.
Well it's a BFN for me. I have known without a doubt a week into all of my FET two week waits that my embies weren't going to stay and this one was no exception. Wish I wasn't so intuitive sometimes as it ruins any hope for me. I am absolutely shattered, and just so exhausted. I have decided to take a break from TTC.
I am hoping for BFP's for all you lovely girls left in the TWW. :pray:
Jay-Belle - i cant really answer your question regarding Crinone... i've only been on it for a few days now but for the past 2 days i have been so moody..... not sure if thats related or not.... Hope those cramps are a good sign for you :goodluck:
Infinity - im so very sorry for the BFN :hug:... i really hope your break does wonders for you
Jodz - i hope your US went fantastic today.... :crossfingers:
Paula - Oh i hope this weekend goes super fast for you... and am :pray: the spotting just stays at that
A big :hello: to everyone i have missed
AFM - not much is really going on for me..... You call O day as EPU right??? If thats correct im only 3DPO... and im over this TWW already.... i use to hate TTW's when i was TTC naturally but this is horrible.... im trying not to think abt it to much but thats pretty impossible
Anyway enough of that...... i hope everyone is well
:goodluck: To all
xox
infinity, really sorry to hear your news sweetie. it sounds like a break will be a good thing at the moment. enjoy it and let your body recover from everything its been through.
good luck to everyone else there in the TWW waiting room... :goodluck:
AFM, cramps woke me up again last night but okay today. i was thinking last night that i don't mind going through anything, really, if it all leads to something positive... but of course there's no way of knowing. some days i feel like there's still an embie in there, and other days i feel like there's nothing going on and its just like all my other unsuccessful TWWs (but this time with IVF). its a bummer that crinone gives you so many symptoms that you're completely confused as to what's happening with your body.10 days til BT and counting... :pray:
BTW, have been trying acupuncture after being told by a counsellor that it increases your chances. not sure if its working but it does make me feel REALLY relaxed.
Hi Everyone, hope you're all taking it easy. Sorry to hear of that some of us are out of the waiting game and feeling a bit blue. I think it's best to listen to your body at these times and take care of the emotional pain as well as the physical that IVF can put you through.
Jay-belle, interesting you mention sore joints from the Crinone; I was thinking I haven't had any symptoms yet, but have had sore knees today. Maybe this is related? I had some "pulling" sensations today, not cramps but just letting me know that things are happening in there maybe? I'm 4dpt today, so probably really a bit early for those kinds of symptoms, although this is about the time that mini Meo would be burrowing in if it's going to happen, so who knows? :doh:
Other than that, my heartburn is HORRENDOUS! I thought that was only supposed begin when you're actually UTD?! But I agree about the acupuncture, it's been really helpful for my calming frame of mind, getting rid of some of the mild OHSS symptoms I had and I've read that it can help embryos stick too FWIW.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to help keep the good run going as I found out today it's a BFN for me. I am pretty shattered as I had different types of feelings this time round, and the fact that the picture of our frozen bub was also very different to past transfers I was sure it was sign of good things to come.
Not sure if you are all going to think I am a looney, but I also felt confident 'it' was going to happen for us this time as a couple of months ago, my beautiful cat, whom I'd had for 10 years (& was my baby) got hit by a car and passed away. I was sure that if 'they' were going to take away my Wilson, then 'they' must have something else planned for me, ie giving me a child to care for instead. This was obviously not the case, and now I have neither of them!!!!
Anyway, that's enough of my whinging... I'm going to go do what I do best when down in the dumps... eat yummy food!
Best of luck to those of you who are just starting your TWW, I hope I haven't effected your positivity... I just needed to vent. I will be back again next month giving it another go!!
Jodz, I really really hope all went well for you today.
Anyway, again good luck to you all and I'll keep popping in to check out how everyone is travelling.
Hi Girls,
Just wanted to pop in and wish all you lovely girls in the TWW bucket loads of luck and the stickiest vibes possible :crossfingers:
For those with a BFN, I am so truly sorry and pray that you have your success story real soon :pray:
For all of you with the BFP congrats, well done girls!!
I will probably join you in here at the end of June as I will have my first FET. I just wanted to give you all some hope, as when I did my first fresh transfer in May 08, I wasn't expecting a positive results as the psychologist told me, be realistic, it takes an average of 3 cycles to get a BFP. Well, I did get my BFP in early June, but lost my little boy at 20 weeks as I had an angry fibroid which just grew in massive proportions with the IVF drugs and sent me into early labour.
BUT, it can happen first time girls, I had no sore BB, no implantation bleeding, no symptoms whatsoever. So hold on tight, and as hard as it is to do, keep that positive frame of mind, as miracles do happen and I so pray that they do for all of you TTC soon.

Hi Ladies, :hello:
Well I'm alittle late into my TWW already one week down, testing is on the 25th. My body has been flying forth with lots of symptoms and I've had my hope up but I've never had a FET and not got pregnant so I'm not sure what it feels like if there's nothing there.
So far Sore boobs around day 4, Dizzy tired and forgetful well lets be truthfull that was prior to my transfer :D but worse since and nausia since last wednesday, mainly when I wake up and after some foods,
I'm so hopefull, I've had a couple of twinges in my tummy and I'm not sure if it's AF coming or good twinges.
Much more nervous after MC last time. I really hope I'm BFP but I don't want to go through a MC again.
So confusing.
DP is really supporting and being very patient,
My friend is due on the 28th from her 8 IVF cycle which is so nice for her but good to see miricles happen.
:goodluck: to us all.
Hi Ladies,
Thank you to all for your kind thoughts and words. I am doing ok and hoping that we will achieve success next time. DH took me out to a lovely dinner last night so we could spend some time together and talk things over.
Infinity so sorry to hear about you had a BFN as well. This can be such a heart breaking experience with so many ups and downs. I hope you are managing a relaxing weekend and catching up on some sleep. Good luck with your TTC break. My thoughts are with you while you recuperate and get back to where you feel you need to be x
Jozza really sorry to hear about your BFN as well. Hope you are doing ok and all the best for your next steps. x
Paula good luck with your BT on Monday. I hope luck is on your side and your dreams finally comes true.
Jodz glad to hear things are still coming along well. I hope your ultrasound went well and wish you all the best over the next few months
Best of luck to those of you who are just starting your TWW. :goodluck:to everyone on the finally countdown. I hope the days go quickly and your BTs bring the answer to your prayers.
Hello ladies
Just letting you all know that im out. AF arrived yesterday with lots of nasty cramps. Had my big cry yesterday but now just looking forward to my FET. I too felt like this cycle was it. Had lots of different "feelings/symptoms" that seemed to be pointing in the right direction which goes to show they dont really mean much.
Really wish all the best to the remaining ladies in here as i love to see LTTTC ladies move onto the pregnancy threads. It gives me hope that it really does happen, so keep those BFP coming!!
Paula :hug: Had the same happening to me a few weeks back and know it's so hard. Please take some time and take care of yourself.
Sara
mitf, Jozza, Infinity, Paula, - I am really sorry to hear of your BFNs ...:hug: It is really hard and I hope that success isn't far away for all of you
good luck to those in the 2WW :pray: hang in there
Oh Paula, I am so truly sorry for you :cry:
Hang in there as much as you can, TTC is so trying mentally and physically :wall:
Thinking of you :hug:
Smithy, Today is the day.....best of luck for your BT.
To everyone else sending you a bunch of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
Thanks all for your support. BFN is confirmed so having this cycle off then jumping into the FET.
Best of luck to the remaining ladies in this thread.
Paula I'm so sorry hun - sending you big hugs.
Janie xxx
:hug: I'm so sorry Paula for your BFN.. Take care of yourself and hopefully before you know it you'll be having your next FET...
