that wait begins.....again. i blasty on board, stick you little sucker!
have to wait to see if any of the others can be frozen, but that is the least of my worries.........
after egg collection i felt like i could just EXPLODE. Luckily i seem to have "gone down" now! Honesty, i reckon i could've gone up two sizes with all the bloating.
kittycat - i think we all turn into a disaster zone on the last few days. who can blame us!
sharon1977 - love that you havent had a squeeze!! very funny.
Good luck girls. I am determined this time. ITS GOING TO WORK I SAY!!!
well i was a BFN - again. I'm nothing if not consistent :-(
Kittykat - I get cramps from the progesterone the whole way through the 2WW. They sometimes get quite bad about one week after EPU/ovulation. It's unfortunate because the 2WW makes you want to analyse every twinge and most people tell me that pregnancy feels the same.
Good luck to everyone who is waiting, analysing and going out of their minds (in a semi good way).
bridget.. so sorry to hear of your BFN. there is really nothing worse.
the feelings and cramps you have do make you wonder. when you have them you think it's bad/good then when you don't have them it's also bad/good! what the?????
i have a DD 4.5 and she was natural. the problem is that i didn't have any symptoms, tww or drugs so this time is simply torture. it's just as hard and confussing for secondary infertility because it's like trying for the first time. goodluck with your next attempt. i want to see you have a BFP!
jayejaye..welcome to the TTWW(terrible two week wait!) i hope that your bloated feeling stays away. i had it in my EPU last year. my daughters daycare teacher had her EPU back in march and was really bloated, had terrible pains and then i think they said it was OHSS. but guess what, yes in her first ivf she had a BFP. there is deffinetly light at the end of the tunnel.
lilmisshavachat..goodluck with your last little frosty. i justed used my last two. i'm pinning all my hopes on them as i am not sure when if ever i can go back. it's not fair to keep pouring money into it and let DH and DD suffer. i think i will move on and get a new focus. everyone thinks i'll get UTD then!! hahaha
sharin1977.. i also had some strong stabbing pains yesterday on my left side. pulling almost. the problem is all the crinone and estrogen give everyone such different symptoms. who really knows. but i know what you mean about hormones. i got really cranky with my boss and almost quit yesterday. do they have any idea of the trauma we are undergoing?? physically and mentally?? no!
JVOL and loops12 hope you are both well!
bye for now!
Lurking as usual....hoping all of you will get BFP's and your 2WW doesn't make you go too crazy. (well any crazier!! )
This is what I used as a guide to what happens after transfer...take with a grain of salt but you get the general idea. I hope it helps.
5 day transfer-
-1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt.. Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
6dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT
Bridget I'm really sorry to hear about your BFP. It is so hard and so heartbreaking. I hope you manage to find some peace about it soon.
As for everyone second-guessing their symptoms, I have had the lot with IVF - bloating, stabbing pains, breast discharge, AF cramps, nausea. All my 3 IVF attempts have had combinations of all these symptoms in various degrees.
This time I have to say I'm optimistic. My BT is tomorrow and the HPTs are showing consistent dark positives even though it has been 4 days since my last Pregnyl. I thought the line would get darker over time but as my hubby said maybe it only gets so dark? If I do have a BFP tomorrow, I have to say my symptoms have not been much different from my previous BFNs! Also, I have had 2 prenancies in the past and in both I had implantation bleeding, but if this is a BFP I have had no bleeding. So really, unless your tracking with HPTs I think you are really none-the-wiser with the syptoms.
Littlemisshaveachat, Sahron1977, Kittycat, Loops12 and Jayejaye - hope you're all going along OK and sticky vibes to all of you. This 2WW has really tested me and driven me nuts, and definately worse in the second week. Hope you guys are coping OK.
Hey everyone, I'm in here too. Been keeping away as was on a break. Tried to go back last month for an FET but only got a 17 day cycle! After a perfect 27 days the month we took off :s Awesome.
Anyway, I have a BT on Monday too and I have to say, I'm over the drugs already. I know they're there for a purpose, but I'm on a HRT cycle as I didn't ovulate, so if all goes well and I DO get the BFP we're waiting on, I still have to take the Progynova pills and progesterone pessaries x3 daily for the first trimester. The things we do for our kids, eh? I'm just over being "goopy"!
Sorry for the vent, hope everyone is travelling well and Bridget, take care of yourself my dear. It's hard, I know.
Bridget - I'm sorry to hear about your BFN. It's just heartbreaking. I hope you're taking care of yourself.
JVol - sounding very positive for your BT tomorrow. Good luck and I have my fingers crossed for you.
Meo - I know exactly how you feel about the HRT FET cycle. I'm on 6mg (3 tablets) Progynova per day but I'm only on 2 x progesterone pessaries per day (compared to your 3 per day). I've also been told that if I fall pregnant, I'll have to stay on the pregesterone and Progynova for the first trimester. And to top things off, I had a blood test yesterday (which was 3 days post ovulation), so they could check progesterone levels. Mine weren't as high as they wanted, so to try something new - warning TMI about to come - I am now having to insert the pessaries rectally, instead of the usual method of vaginally. According to my FS and nurse, the hormone is absorbed heaps better (up the butt) and they've already had success with changing to that method for some girls. My nurse told me about a girl they have that had a progesterone level below 30 on Monday, so they told her to take the pessaries rectally. Then follow up blood test for her on Wed (only 2 days later), it was 450!!! So I'm just hoping that my levels increase that well. I have another blood test tomorrow (which is transfer day) so my fingers are crossed for high progesterone levels. I just can't believe what I have to do to try and fall pregnant though. It's just ridiculous!!
Hello lovely ladies
I have just had my 1st IUI, so am know on the TWW......
I have twidled my thumbs since IUI day & now not sure what to do. I have read on here heaps of couples having injections since IUI day - what's the go with that?? I haven't been told BT day, or to have injections, so a little confussed about it all.
Is it whatever the FS decides is best for your situation? I had 2 really good healthy follicles, so just wait I guess.

I'm just over being "goopy"!
