MY TWW is going so slow...... it doesnt help because i feel that this IVF didnt work :(
xox
Hi Girls,
Checking-in for the TWW, BT 01/06/09 - sooooooooooo far away!
:grouphug: To Infinity, Jozza, Paula and anyone with a BFN.
:dance: To the lucky BFP's.
AFM - I had one little A+ embie put it yesterday, scientist said it was perfect. I know thats no sure thing but i am sure :pray: cause i didn't get any snowbabies, the two other embies looked "very abnormal". On top of that she told me i should not use the other vial of DPs frozen TESA sperm because she thinks thats why the other two were so abnormal. That puts the breaks on attempt #2 as DP works on the other side of the world...............hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Anyway, must focus good energy on this little one, i had the accupuncture immediately before and after plus lead-up treatments. The transfer was very smooth. I feel suprisingly calm now, i was a complete wreck during EPU and culture and thought it would just get worse. But once the little rasberry was inside i felt like a weight was lifted. Weird.
Anyway, I'm strapped in.......bring it on!
Mell.......................:bluedust::stickyvibesg irl:
Mellmell - best of luck on your TWW.... mine BT is the same day as your :crossfingers: (we didnt get any snowbubs either)
Good luck Mellmell and Nikki.. i reckon you're onto a good BT day as it's my 2nd Wedding anniversary.... Extra goodluck to you..
good luck ladies!
Hi Ladies
How's everyone's TWW going?
I'm on the home stretch now still :pray: for BFP but really unsure.
I still have all the signs I did before, feeling sick went away for a couple of days but it's back, mainly first thing and when I eat. My boobs are getting sore (keep off sore) now.
My BT is Monday but you never know until you ring the clinic back.
Haven't tested at home and hoping to keep away from chemists till after monday.
Hello girls,
Quick question, be prepared for TMI - I was super constipated this morning. I'm talking extreme - should I go to hospital - constipation, not just a little uncomfortable. Nothing for 3 days. I had tried pear juice, prune juice, hot lemon water, tonnes of water and senna tablets, nada thing. Anyway after a lot of straining and tears in the toilet I went to the chemist and got an industrial strenght enema. Even with that it took me ages and a LOT of effort, if you know what I mean.
Now Im freaking that I have damaged my chances of a BFP. I had a day 3 ET 2 days ago. I know that I cant push the embie out, but Im worried that all that upset may have caused uterine contactions or something and compromised implantation in some way.
Any experience/advice????
Mell..............
Not quite the same question, but I did ask my FS at transfer could I sneeze or cough the embryo out with a really bad head cold I had.
He basically said that the uterus contracts with equal pressure, so no, I don't believe based on that theory that you would have compromised anything.
Hey Mellmell, I do not know but I seem to doubt it. You will be fine ;)
S'rose - I was sneezing in the shower this morn like 14 times and I was trying to cross my legs!! PMSL!! Anyway I know logically that I can not sneeze them out and forgot about it until I read your post, it is nice that you actually posted the answer as it is more reassurance!
? time - for those IVFers, after ET what day is the implantation usually even a rough idea is helpful? TIA
Hi Lionfish - From what I've read implantation can be from 6-10 days after ET. I've been trying to decide if any of my symptoms could have been implantation but its hard to tell. Have decided I'm probably not pregnant as I don't have a lot of the symptoms you are supposed to get. Had my sister over with her 9 month old baby girl this weekend, and while it was wonderful it also made me sad. :cry: Did a lot of crying today, but feeling better now. Mentally preparing myself for a BFN and a bit of a break before my next cycle (but you never know).
Greenslw - Its sounding pretty positive, fingers crossed for you.
:goodluck: to all the other TWW girls as well.
Hey ladies, just VERY quickly dropping in, we've been up at the farm harvesting olives this week and it's going well but there's no i'net up there, so been missing you all! On the other hand, been WAY too busy to worry about whether or not I'm pregnant! Feeling good though, think I had some implantation cramping and nothing that feels like AF cramps yet. Sorry no personals, but hang in there! I'll be back on the weekend for a more thorough update.
Hey Lionfish,
From what my FS told me, implantation happens from day 7 to day 10 from the time the egg was fertillised. So, if you had a day 5 blasty transfered, then it could implant 2 days - 5 days after the transfer. If you had a 3 day transfered, it could implant 6 days to 10 days later.
Hope that made sense :)
Have a great day girls. I have my fingers and toes crossed for all of you!
It does make sense thanks for the info gives me a better idea, this is my 4th time so you would think that I would know that by now! :doh:
GL to everyone in the 2WW!! :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Hiya All,
Well still plodding through the TWW. I am looking for any signs/symptoms that I remember from my 2 previous bubs, but that was ten years ago so its hard. So far nothing to report, just a constant knawing ache in my uterus (i think) that i have had since beginning the crinone. Still slightly bloated from EPU and huge boobs, and still getting sharp abdo pains if i cough/sneeze. Are the pains supposed to last this long?? Anyway, time is really starting to drag. I'm back at work next week although i'm worried my uniform wont fit around my waist :redface:. Also worried cause I am still in significant pain, we will see.
Lionfish - you seem to be hanging in there ok :D
Mell..........
just sending some good vibes to all those in the TWW. good luck
Good luck with your BT Meo, I've been thinking of you and hope you get a great result today.
Thanks S'rose, I've already had one concerned friend ring up and ask, but I won't know until at least 2pm, possibly longer! I was just coming in to post that I'm TOTALLY over all this waiting! I have to remind myself that even if it's a positive BT, I still have to wait 10 weeks to be sure it's hanging around, then another 30-odd until finally meeting the baby! It just never ends . . . :lol: Still, only 30 mins to lunch, then I can distract myself with the paper for a bit (or more BB :D) and then if I haven't heard at the end of lunch I'm gonna call them.
I did POAS this morning, but got a negative result. I'm not too concerned though, as the test said to use it on the first day of your missed period. Well, I have no idea when that's supposed to be, so I might just be testing early. There's no romance in IVF (not that POAS is romantic, but you know what I mean!). Anyway, no sign of AF and feeling good, so I'll just wait for the results to come through.
Sorry girls, waffle over!
How are you all doing?
Goodluck Meo..
I hope it's a BFP for you..
I am ashamed,
I caved and POAS already :redface:. However i am not surprised as i have no patience whatsoever and knew i would cave anyway. I googled some POAS words and , OMG, there is a WHOLE community dedicated to POAS........it was soooo weird!! Whole websites dedicated to the subject - "peeonastickparadise" and "peeonastick" dot com. Has anyone else ever see these? It is bizarre, but informative too. Sooooooo........i got a really faint BFP within 3 mins from dilute luchtime pee(the test limit is 5). HOWEVER, i did have a shot of 1500IU pregnyl last Sunday morning, which is cleared at about 1000IU per day, so it is very possible that it is residual BHCG from that. Therefore i am treating this as a scientific experiment ONLY and not thinking i have actually got a BFP. I will now monitor the pee situation, to see if it gets darker or vanishes. At least if it vanishes i will know the pregnyl shot is out of my system.
Meo.......any news sweetie???
Lionfish........how are you going chicky??
:bluedust: Mell..........
Hi all, :hello:
Can I join you in the 2ww? I'm moving over from another thread (where I met Lionfish and Mellmell - hi again!).
I've been doing IVF and had a hatching blastie transferred yesterday. I'm so nervous and excited. Last time I had AF a few days early so fingers crossed I at least make it to testing day this time, because I would like to be away from work when I get the news, either way!
Mellmell I have had aches and pains since EPU too. I was concerned because they are similar to the twangs I get before AF. I think it is the crinone and constipation.:doh:
Lionfish I have heard similiar to Sammiejam, ie. implantation 1-2 days after a blastie transfer. For this reason I took an extra day off work after the transfer this time to relax.
Thinking of you all
:pink-babydust:
Hi everyone
I'm back again. This time we transferred 2 in a FET. One of the embies lost some cells in the thaw but grew them back overnight. It sounds really stupid but I'm really proud of it for being such a little fighter - even if it doesn't make it to baby stage. Last time we did a FET we had 4 embies and 3 of them crashed and burned prior to transfer which was disappointing. So I feel quite positive this time - hopefully 7 will be my lucky number.
Meo- I hope the silence is because you are excited about a new bub and can put all this behind you but if its because you are just too upset and disappointed, then a big hug to you.
Mellmell any more Ping OAS????
Well i did another POAS, i knew i would, and i still have a feint 2nd line. The line has gotten lighter though, and if it was actually due to preggers i think it would have gotten darker because i have used the same brand at the same time. So either a) it is residual bhcg from the injection (most likely) or b) they are dodgy tests that always have a really feint 2nd line and its either too early or a BFN. I really dont think its a BFP thought, i just kinda feel in my heart that it has not worked this time around. And for me POAS has actually helped me. I think because of the results my chances are pretty slim and that has allowed me to be more realistic about next monday. Esp since the crinone has given me a lot of early preg signs - sore boobs with more veins, increased peeing etc. I think without POAS i would have been all "yep, this has worked for sure" and then if i got a BFN on monday it would have been horrific. Whereas now i'm kinda expecting a BFN and have had a little time to adjust to that. I'm not saying everyone should POAS, just that it has helped my tww.
Mell..........
Hey all, thanks for thinking of me. I've been trying to log on from home since Monday, but BB was down for me? Anyway, it's been a pretty $hit week for me - they couldn't find my blood test results, so I had to wait until 4.30 on Monday (after having the test at 8.30am, that's a LONG time to wait, as I'm sure you'd all agree ;)) to be told that it was negative. I was surprised because we went through the whole implantation cramping and bleeding, but not surprised as I'd been having AF is appearing cramps all day Monday and she turned up with a VENGEANCE on Monday night, just as we were celebrating my cousin's birthday. *le sigh*
So I've had Tuesday and Wednesday off work, just moping really. Had an acupuncture appt last night which helped with the cramping and now it's mostly back to a normal period. We're taking a break for "a couple of months" as I've told everyone, but realistically I think we'll be going in for an FET next month.
I guess the whole situation was made harder because my brother has just announced that his wife is a whole 4 weeks pregnant and the babies would have been due at the same time.
Im really sorry for your BFN Meo. You sound like you are being really strong, and you still have 5 bubsiclles too ;). I have one friend @ 13wks, one friend @ 40wks, one friend with newborn twin girls, and another with a 3 month old girl. Everywhere, everyday it seems everyone is UTD. It does hurt. Hang in there, another TWW could be only weeks away!! Mell....................
:hug: Meo, I am sorry it didn't work and that you have that additional family reminder. I've been thinking of you.
Oh Meo - it really is just so unfair and heart breaking.
The "ours would have been born at the same time" feeling is really hard too. The one and only time in my life that I've had a BFP (after a year of trying) turned out to be ectopic and at exactly the same time my best friend, my sister and my DH's cousin got pregnant. His cousin would have had exactly the same due date and I had to sit next to her at a dinner and listen to her announce her due date. When I heard the due date I was nearly sick but had to pretend to be happy.
I'm so sorry sweetie - especially since it sounded so hopeful.
Meo- I'm really sorry to hear that. Be gentle with yourself. The family reminder will be hard
srose- I havent been in here for a while, but just noticed your ticker. Sorry no success this time, but having 5 snowbubs waiting is a positive at least
good luck everyone else in here.
Thanks, ladies. I finally had a big cry about it last night and feel much better today. I can now be happy and a little bit excited for my brother and his wife, but I'm purposely not asking if they were trying or if it was an accidental pregnancy. At least they are still in China, so I won't be witness to the growing bump as well! :lol: They're planning to come back to Australia when bubs is a few months old and hopefully we'll have one of our own by then. In the meantime I'm focussing on this month and losing a few kilos and detoxing and getting ready for the next round. This means I'll be dipping out for a while, but thinking of you all.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Sorry for the BFN's in here - its heart breaking but hang in there and it will happen when the time is right. :grouphug:
GL to all for future bubs x.
Hi,
I'm in the middle of the 2ww at the moment, well I will be tomorrow! Got my blood test on 6/6. I had one on the 27/5, 1 week after trigger, and my estrogen was 523, progesterone 100. Apparently this means I have a 'welcoming environment' :dunno: :lol:
This is my first ivf cycle and I just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck! I've been reading some posts for a little while now, you girls are amazing and inspiring to not only continue on your own journeys but keep on providing support for each other!
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Just stopped by to say I'm thinking of you all.
Meo- so sorry about the BFN. I'm glad you are feeling better.
Hello Girls,
Well i think Im definately out this round. I got a digital test cause i had the suspicion that the ones i had were dodge...........and they indeed were!!! The digital gave me a BFN and i did one of the suspect ones at the same time and it was BFP. So i pulled it apart and you could see where the control line dye was tracking up the side and giving a false BFP!!! Anyway, i have had my little breakdown, now im gonna focus on the next round.
Mell............
Mellmell - I have heard that happen to people and they go for the BT and they are indeed PG. You never know, I dont want to give you false hope, but are you still going to have the BT tomoro?
Well i went for my BT and it was indeed a BFN. But here is the kicker, NOBODY bothered to call me with the result!!!! I had the bloods done at 0700 today and then waited, and waited,..........and waited. Eventually (4 pm) i rang the path lab and had the results faxed over (lucky im a nurse). I know they phoned other people because lionfish cycled with me at the same place. I can't wait untill they realise at some stage during the week that they forgot to call and then have the hide to ring-up!!!
Mell.........
mellmell- so sorry it was negative and I cant believe they didnt call you! That's really slack, when its so horrible waiting and waiting.
good luck everyone else
Hey mellmell I left you a message in my TTC journal, but that sux!!! She did say when she phoned that she had just got back from the hospital and that it had been a crap day but you do not phone one person and not the other, I saw that other lady at the path lab this morning, i wonder how she went?
Hi all!
I'm now in my TWW, transfer was yesterday, so hoping I can join in here. I didn't think I'd be here this month as I had a bit of a breakdown last month, but nothing ever goes to plan right? FS rang yesterday morning and my emby wasn't doing so great so he wanted to thaw another (my last) and transfer that too. So, I now have two on board, which was something I never expected. Not sure how I'm feeling really. Trying to be positive this time, but scared too as if this is unssuccessful its completely 'back to the drawing board' for us.
Sorry to Meo, MellMell, Lionfish and S'Rose for your BFN's. :hug: MellMell - twice I've had no phone call with my results, I already knew myself that they were BFN's but it really upset me all the same.
Best of luck to Misty77, Bridget and Sharon1977. Here's hoping you get your BFP's.
Yay for your 'welcoming environment' Sharon - can only be a good thing!
Hi,
Fingers crossed for all the BFN's that they will be BFP's next month!
Mellmell - I also can't believe you didn't get a phone call! Hope they've called you by now and been suitably apologetic, although that doesn't change the result and make it any better.
:crossfingers: to Misyt77, Bridget and infinity.
AFM, woke up yesterday with cramping low down and boobs not sore at all. Had a great day of comfort food and back episodes of the Amazing Race with dh. I'm gearing myself up for a BFN for my bt on Sat but I have a nagging feeling af will arrive before then. Still, this is only my first round so have to be realistic.... but there's always that sliver of hope in the back of your mind.... aaaarrrgggghhhh.... waiting is not fun! Patience was a virtue I never learnt :wall: 4 more sleeps!
