LTTTC Two Week Wait - April - June 09

I'm out - again. AF arrived this morning. What on earth is wrong with my body?

Had a fight with my mum. She asked me if I was alright and I said "no, not really" to which she replied "OK, talk to you later".

Anyway, on to the next cycle

Bridget, Im so sorry to hear this cycle didn't work it out for you...I know its just so frustrating while you think you are doing all the right things but its just not happening...vent, be angry and let it all out...then you will be able to breath again and be able to hope again...it is a hard road but we will get there eventually. Don't give up hun!

Hope its just some misunderstanding between you and your mum...sometimes I'd rather to be left alone than being asked about details what's wrong...,maybe she just thought you are not in the mood to talk and trying to give you some space....:hug:

Hi ladies do you mind if I join in here? I am Karen and I am TTC no#5 with no luck yet I am into month 15 of active ttc but we haven't used any protection since I had my DS in Oct 07.

So I am def in my TWW at the moment I am CD21 today so another week yet till I can find out. It is going so slow!!!!!!

Bridget that sucks :( so sorry it didn't work for you this month. :hug:

What's with the mother comments? Mine is exactly the same!! I actually called her from emergency dept in the middle of the night about 2months ago, told her they were admitting me and that dh couldn't come in due to ds being home and the reply I got "at least you're in good care, I'll call you in the morning when I've had a coffee" !?!?!?! WTF???? :wall:

Sharon1977 - cramping low down can be good. no reason at all while your first cycle can't be a success and nothing wrong with having some hope. Hope the next 4 days fly by for you.

Bridget, so sorry for your BFN. do you have luteal phase support in your TWW? Sorry about your mum too - unfortunately people that know about what I'm going through often ignore it 'cos they don't know what to say and it's easier for them, so it's their issue not yours - it just means you can't get the support you need sometimes. We understand though and will try to support you if you need it.

Paycyn - Hi and good luck with your 1 week left waiting. Any symptoms yet?

Good luck to all in their TWW's.

thanks for the welcome. Nope no symptoms yet but I didn't always get them with my other pregnancies. Plus I have a cold so I am using paracetamol aswell. I try to ignore any symptoms now as I have been so sure i am pregnant other times becuse of them and then af arrives. I have done so much waiting now it seems to drag out and seem longer every month now!

My younger sister chose today to tell me she is pregnant. So overall not the best day of my life. I've been crying uncontrollably since she told me - I've completely lost it :crying::crying::crying::crying

At least it explains my mum's earlier reaction.

Hi Guys,
I haven't been on for awhile... been bust keeping my mind off TTC!!

Anyway, I'm on IUI #2..had iui on the 19th may. AF would normally have been due today but hasn't shown...i had BFP on HPT very feint but was there....I have BT on Thursday.
Also i have had some cramping like af is coming but nada. Could this be a true BFP. My last pregnyl 1500 shot was last thursday. I wanna get my hopes up. Should I ? pleeeeeeeeeeeese someone tell me its all good!!

Emerald Star

Emarald starthat is sounding very positive to me I bet you are very nerveous though waiting for bloods now!

Bridget My sister is TTC at the same time as me but only started just before xmas so if she gets her :bfp: before me I will def being :cryinglaugh:

well Ihad a very small amount of thick brown spotting last night not sure to trust if it could be a implantation or not as I have had this before and then still had a visit from af! But only time will tell it just seems to be dragging on a bit at the moment.

Bridget - I'm sorry. The exact same thing happened to me last month - my younger sister told me on Mother's day (what sould have been my first mothers day if I hadn't lost my baby) and I was in the middle of a TWW I just knew hadn't worked. I was completely devastated. I cried for days and couldn't sleep. I'm still having trouble dealing with it to be honest. It's going to be very very hard. So cry, scream and deal with it however you have to. It will get easier to deal wih but you will have bad days. I suggest explaining to your sister that while you are happy for her, her pregnancy is going to be very hard for you. That your feelings are not personal towards her and that you need to be allowed to deal with it in whatever way you can - withhout her taking offense. Be kind to yourself - if you feel you can't attend a family function or something just don't go. You will find a way to be ok with this, it just takes time.

Paycyn - I get you on the waiting! Fingers crossed it's implantation for you. Are you going to test anytime soon?

Emerald Star - I think you have your BFP! Tentative congratulations and best of luck on BT day.

Oh Bridget, You're not having the easiest of times right now. At least you have an explanation for your mums comments. I remember when we were ttc our ds, we were into the 6th month of ttc and friends of ours announced their pg at a bbq. I hid down the back and had a good cry by myself. They'd only been trying 1 month and all I could think was 'it's not fair!'. I used to do lots of crying in a nice hot shower, that seemed to help for some reason.

Take some time out for yourself, the next few months are going to be hard watching her pg but I'll bet you're going to be a damn good Aunty! Not the same I know, but hang in there and keep trying to stay positive.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

Hi all,
Sorry I havent been on for a while, Like Emerald was trying to keep my mind off 2 ww.

Bridget, so sorry to hear about BFN. It sucks and never gets any easier. BTW re family, i don't tell them a thing because I know the lack of support or innappropriate comments will just press my buttons! Have also found out 2 friends are pregnant this week, I'm so sick of people who try like once to get pregnant and they do! (sorry if that sounds bad/selfish :doh:

Girls I need advice. I didn't want a major upset like last time (AF came early and I had a mini breakdown at work) so I did a home preg test (can test 7 days before AF) on Sunday. It was a BFN. I spent the whole day crying and trying to accept this fate. Anyway I had one left over so I did another test today- BFP! I have never seen the double lines in my life and couldnt stop staring at them this morning! It was faint but definate. AF is due tomorrow and I am having the blood test tomorrow too. I dont know what this means. I am so scared I've gotten my hopes up again. All stuff I've read suggests a BFP so near to AF is a great sign, and the progesterone pessaries shouldnt affect BFP (only the trigger injectiin could which should have faded out by now).

I spoke to a friend who has been through IVF and she said both times she had a BFP day before AF due date she was indeed pregnant (misscarried one and had a beautiful boy with the other). Any advice? Should I dare to hope?

:pray: PS I forgot to add I am having little mini pains like before AF comes, should I freak about this?

Misty77 - Sounds great to me - faint line or not, two lines are two lines. But I do understand trying not to get your hopes up. Maybe see if they'll let you do the blood test early? I don't think they ususally will but its worth a shot.

A big thanks to everyone for trying to make me feel better. You are all great and really did help (as much as anyone can help in this situation).

WHOOPS Dusty didn't realise that I was a LTTTC lady and removed my posts. It is all good and I explaned it to her so I am still here.

Still waiting here why does the TWW seem like sooooooooooooo long??? I could of had 2 babies almost in the time i have been TTC GGGRRRR

Hi there girls,
Infinity, thanks for your wishes.
Misty77 looks like we are in the same boat. Today AF is officially overdue and i still have a faint BFP. BT tomorrow will tell...i too am getting af like cramps so i hope she stays away. Good luck!!

Emerald Star - Good luck for your bt tomorrow! I have no experience with HPT's after pregnyl injections, sorry!

Mysty77 - Good luck for your bt tomorrow too!!!

Wow! Big day tomorrow!!!

AFM - my boobs are now incredibly sore, unfortunately though I think that's more due to me poking and prodding them rather than possibly being pg! :lol: Also having period like cramps. I actually have no idea when af is due as this is my first cycle with injections. Very please though that my last pregnyl 1500 was yesterday! Blood test for me is on Sat, 3 more sleeps!!!

Will be eagerly checking tomorrow to see all those BFP's!!!

Hi Sharon1977 thanks..just wanting to let you know that i was on injectibles for my iui's and all the preg symptoms are normal. I also found that with my first iui it took 6-7 days for the pregnyl to leave my system, that's why this time i was not sure what to think when i tested light BFP on day 6. was it the pregnyl still? the only difference was that af came on the 28th day of my cycle on my first iui and this second one af is late......maybe a true positive:pray::pray:
i also get the occasional af cramping like she is waiting to spring up on me:nahnah:

well I am out of the TWW now af arrived super early this morning. :( I was only CD23????

So sorry to hear that paycyn, wonder why af came so early? Can your fs shed any light on it?

:hug:

Paycyn I'm so sorry! Thinking of you lovely. :grouphug:I got AF very early on my first IVF, and it is never early, usually on time or sometimes late because of meds I was on for IUI. I'm not sure why this happens!

Sharon I had pregnyl injections once and they really made me feel like I was pregnant. They also took about a week to leave the system after two blood tests (first was too borderline to call) confirmed BFN.

AFM I having that painful wait of the blood tests results. Have done 3 POAS in last 24 hours (I''ve gone a little crazy :confused:) and all BFP. But wont believe it til I hear it from the nurses.

Emerald, have you got your results yet? Best of luck!:crossfingers:

Lots of :stickyvibesgirl: to you all, and :noaf:

Girls, I have a BFP confirmed on BT!:dance:

thanks ladie I iwll be back in a couple of weeks I am ringing a specialist tomorrow and going private to see what is happening!

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE :bfp:MISTY

:happyforyou::happyforyou: CONGRATULATIONS MISTY.. I hope you have a wonderful H&H 9 months... Yay..

Congratulations Misty77!!!!

:hooray::hooray::hooray:

I have 2 more sleeps until my bt! Still no af, which is good but boobs not very sore, which is not so good. Guess I'll have to keep busy until then! :wall: My hubby is loving how clean the house is and how many meals and treats I'm cooking!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Firstly a biiiiiiiiiiiiig congrats to Misty.:clap::clap::hooray:
and as for me well another :bfn:
AF still hasn't come but apparently my progesterone levels are a bit high and that is what is keeping af away...she is apparently ready to visit in the next couple of days.
Well, as tragedy strikes again in our home..we will keep our chins up and try again on the 9th next tuesday.....i think we will give iui's a break and call in the big guns (IVF)
as my clock is ticking...tick, tick , tick.....:crying:

Misty - Congratulations!! Fantastic news. wishing you a very happy & healthy pregnancy. x

Emerald Star - so sorry it's BFN. Hugs to you and good luck next cycle.

Paycyn - sorry it's BFN for you too. Wishing you luck with seeing the specialist.

Sharon - hang in there - you're so close..... will you test yourself first or wait for BT? Fingers crossed x

AFM - too early for anything yet - BT is so far away. A friend rang me today to tell me she's 15 weeks pregnant - was a mess again after the phonecall. This is so hard!

Sticky vibes to all in the TWW xx

Thanks all for the wellwishes :)

Emerald, I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN.:( I hope and pray it will be a BFP for you next time :hug:

Thinking of all the girls on the wait... :grouphug:

Misty - keep us updated with your progress...don't keep all the excitement to yourself!:lol:

Hi girls,

Emerald Star - so sorry about your BFN, :goodluck: for the next round hun.

Infinity - waiting sucks, hang in there, all of a sudden the day to test is here!!!

AFM - 1 more sleep till bt day!!! Boobs are still a bit sore, but not overly. But they are HUGE! I have been well blessed in the breast department but I had to keep my jacket on at work today they look that bloody massive! Here's hoping it's actually my body hormones and not the bloody injected ones! :pray:

I've been waiting and waiting for the last 2 weeks and now it's tomorrow I'm actually getting scared. Did anyone else go through this or am I totally losing the plot?

I told fibs to my mum and sister yesterday and told them I got af so if it is negative I don't have to deal with them. They're nice people, just not very supportive. When I told mum I got "oh, that's no good, I had a **** of a day at work too'! :wall:

Hi girls,

Time for me to join you in here for my 2ww for my first IVF.
Transfer was Wednesday so my BT is still a while off... 9 sleeps actually! I think maybe I could have the test on the Saturday but my FS isn't open so I wouldn't get the results until the Monday - so I'm testing Monday.

I do plan to POAS of course ha ha - I'm thinking both Sat and Sunday next weekend...

Luckily this weekend we're really busy but I don't know how to keep myself distracted next week.
So far I've been quite hungry and craving salty bad food - but I keep telling myself it's all in my head as it's not possible for that to occur so quickly!!

Just popping in to say hi

Congratulations to Misty - all the best for a H&H pregnancy.
Sorry to those that got BFN's - hang in there and keep trying. :grouphug: All the very best for your next cycles.

Mrs P - Good luck in TWW - hope you dont go crazy with the wait and you get your miracle at the end.

Thinking of all x

Hi girls,

Just to let you know I'm out this month. Had my blood test this morning and got a :bfn:. Not a great day but we'll be back next month to try again!

:goodluck: to all those in the 2ww.

Sharon - sorry to hear about your BFN.
To all of you on the 2ww - GOOD LUCK!!
AFM - I will be starting IVF #1 on tuesday, looking forward to nthat and really hoping this works.:bluedust::pink-babydust:
Hoping to hear some BFP this week from any of you girls that are waiting for results.

Hi TWW ladies,

Sharon - so sorry to hear it's BFN. Hope you are doing ok:hug:

Mrs P - congrats on making it your your first IVF TWW. Hoping it's a BFP for you. My BT is Monday 15th - is that the same as you? I'll be POAS next Saturday too.

Emerald Star - best of luck with your first IVF. It's definately a rollercoaster ride and expect the unexpected is my advice. You'll get heaps of support on here though.

Is it only me & Mrs P on our LTTTC TWW right now? Sorry if I've missed anyone. Hoping we have some more TWWaiters soon with BFP's for all!!

:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

Hi Ladies

I am back after a long break - have been healing after the loss of my son last year and a two unsuccessful IVF cycles. Just had a FET transfer yesterday (8th) and it was a stunning hatching blastie (picture on my fridge!). I hope we have success ladies and am so sorry to those ladies out this month. I am testing on the 19th and that feels like a thousand years away.
Right back to distracting myself!
Hugs and babydust to all
dellydoo

I'll be joining the TWW sometime next weekend, all going well. Expecting the LH surge on Wednesday or Thursday, will have FET next weekend (Day 3 Embie). Feeling excited about FET#4, :crossfingers: but feel like it's a Three Week Wait because I can't stop thinking about it.

I have a huge essay to write, so you'd think that would keep me distracted, but unfortunately BB is keeping me distracted from my essay :redface:

Good luck everyone, will see you in here soon.

Infinity - thanks for your honesty and encouragement. When is your BT? how long are you in your 2ww now?

Persephone1 - when you're ready hoping the girls on this thread will help you get through your TWW...i'm sure you will find all the support you need.

dellydoo - i was really upset to read about losing your son and your 2 unsuccesful IVF's. But you know 3rd times a charm - don't give up.:bluedust::pink-babydust:

Misty77 - any new news to report?

Also if there is anyone that can tell me what to expect on my first day at IVF? when do i start on the meds? How long is the process before transfer?

Infinity - yep, we have the same test day. It seems so far away! Glad you're also going to POAS early - I have no idea if the test can pick it up that early but I'm guessing maybe?

Emerald Star - ok, I'm in the 2ww of my first IVF so here's a quick rundown.

Day 1 - AF arrives (Friday afternoon therefore Day 1 was actually a Saturday)
Day 3 - blood test (BT) and scan - Mon
Day 4 - start injections (Puregon and also Clexane for me due to clotting disorder) and continue daily - Tues
Day 7 - I had a scan but that was because there was a chance of me switching to IVM (which I didn't) - Fri
Day 10 & 12 - scan and BT - Mon and Wed. Also started Orgalutron injections (I had only 2 in total)
Day 12 - trigger shot at 9.30pm
Day 13 - no jabs, YAY!!
Day 14 - no jabs (just the hospital ones!) Egg collection (Fri) - under anaesthetic.
Day 18 - Pregnyl injection prior to transfer
Day 19 - Transfer (5 day blastocyst) (Wed)
~Day 31 - blood test to (hopefully) confirm pregnancy!!!

Hope that helps. Obviously everyone is different in terms of how they respond to drugs and clinics differ in when they do procedures, if they are open on weekends etc (mine aren't so they plan around that).

Dellydoo - Sorry for your loss last year. I wish you goodluck for your 2ww. Fingers crossed for you.

Sharon - sorry for your BFN. With your boobs growing huge you must have been extra hopeful - damn our bodies for fooling us like that - grr.

AFM - well, going nuts in the 2ww. Sigh. 8 sleeps to go. Some friends anounced their pg today and of course my initial response was one of sadness for myself and envy. However they have had some struggles along the way (not IVF but still needed some assistance). So I am pleased for them, it's just hard at the moment! Also a friend is being induced tomorrow - so it's babies EVERYWHERE which is not making my 2ww go any faster!!!
