I am popping in here at 1DPO now which is really exciting cause my ovaries are soo lazy and always sleeping so I finally O'd with Gonal which I had previous OHSS with but no bloating or any signs to suggest we are going to be going that way! I will catch up with personals the more I get to know everyone xxoo
Sal79 - Glad you liked the link. How funny that he is a family friend?! He'd be a wealth of information, I'm sure. Maybe you'll swing DH around with that?!. Great news about your work. Do you have any plans yet? I have no idea what I would do! Lots of exercising and trying to keep my mind off things.
wishes - I am so sorry to hear about your BFN and hope that you are holding up. From your post it seems like you're really pragmatic about it and I think this positivity will get you over the line eventually (sooner, rather than later of course). Still, make sure you take it easy - thinking of you.
Mrs P - Welcome back! Only 2 more sleeps for you - that's really exciting. The symptoms you describe are exactly the same for me. The weird cramps are sometimes as strong/stronger than menstrual cramps and the constipation and bloating is unbelievable! I have been taking De-gas because I'm so huge (Sorry for TMI!). Glad you have the day off on Thur and sorry that DH can't be with you. I am usually against POAS but agree with your logic for doing it on Thur morning
jacdy - When is your BT? Hope the discharge is easing and let us know how you go.
jasminstar - You crack me up with your POAS but this could just be the BFP we're waiting for! (Don't want to jinx you but it sounds promising). Not long to go now until you find out for good! for you and your two little embies.
LondonMiss -You poor love. I am sorry to hear that about your miscarriage. Obviously it was still in the early stages but 9 weeks is still 9 weeks and I hope you have some good support. I applaud your positive attitude and envy your shiraz swilling temporary lifestyle! Have a hot bath for me will you? I wish you all the best for your next cycle and look forward to seeing you around BB more.
mitf - Glad that your GF was supportive and encouraging and hope for your sake that the next pg announcement you go through is your own. It's funny how we react differently on different days. Today I raced up to get my first glimpse of a 7 week old sibling of a child in my class. Then other days, I want to avoid them all!
Hi to everyone else and have a good night. Off to cook "aglio olio" - garlic & olive oil pasta.....mmmmmm......
Hellooo everyone again there's a lot to read since my last post, and I'll try not to miss anyone out.
murph01 - thank you for your thoughts, it's nice to hear from a success story
mrsp - welcome and I understand the avoidance of BB sometimes, I did for quite a while. sometimes it's so welcome and helpful in our lives, and sometimes you have to stay away for sanity. you'll be getting your results day after me, fingers crossed for us both
wishes - so sorry for BFN...bugger bugger bugger
sal - great that you're gonna have the time off....here's hoping it's just the ticket
mitf - no have resisted the evil sticks. DH has suggested several times...but something tells us that it's better to live in ignorant bliss at the mo! I also have a lady at work with brand new grandson! Luckily I've not worked alongside her for a few weeks, and the next few also, but gee it's hard isn't it.
asfm - BT was this morning...feeling ok. bloated. anyones guess!!
It's been awhile! I had a series of BFN's last year and had to take some time off. I even changed FS after my FS refused to do some more tests and told me all I had to do was be "more "patient." I knew, as I left in tears that I would never see him again. I've been patient for 9 years now...
Thankfully! I changed and found a brilliant FS (Yazdani) who actually did some tests and discovered I have chronic endo and polyps through my uterus. It took a few months to get a surgery date and last wednesday I had 2x 2 day emb (2 cell, 4 cell) popped back in. This FS is so good - he does lots of tests. I feel confident with him - although I'm on all sorts of different drugs which are giving me headaches.
For some reason with this cycle I'm not focusing on my sore bb's and veins etc. I just figure that all the drugs I'm on make that happen, so there's not point anlaysing it. I'm sure this a drug side effect making me loopy!!! - I'm usually SO analytical about everything!
Anyway I"m 7 days DPO after a HRT cycle and my BT is on the 26th.
Good Luck ladies - my best wishes are with you all!
Welcome Back TLO - Good to hear you are doing far better with the new FS!! The 26th will be here before you know it! I am glad I am not the only one going loopy on all the drugs hehe!
I'm being rather cheeky jumping in here for the last week of my TWW...I've been quiet on the threads, stalking but not posting, and then had a week-long holiday after my FET.
This is FET #6. BT is next Wednesday, 26/8.
I'll probably go and crawl back under my rock now, but to everyone, and welcome to the newbies. Lots of good vibes to you all.
Wow it's starting to get busy in here. Welcome to those just joining us. I hope you are keeping sane so far and look forward to seeing some BFP action in here!
TLO - I can't believe you have been at this for 9 years! You must be one tough cookie. I hope the change of FS and a new approach finally helps you achieve that elusive BFP.
Sal - great to hear your leave plans have fallen into place.... Can't imagine what I would do with 6 months off. I have next week off and thought that was pretty good. FX that you won't be needing it anyway and can start planning for maternity leave instead! You asked about alternative strategies - well I have tried acupuncture for the first time this cycle, but apart from that I just try to eat healthy, avoid processed foods and too much sugar, some light exercise, and I have barely touched alcohol recently. Anything that I think will help really. GL for your BT on Friday.
Mrs P - GL with your BT tomorrow. We are all hoping for a little good news in here.
Jasminstar & Taurean - I hope you are both well and my thoughts are with you both over the next few days.
AFM - I am sorry to report that I started bleeding this afternoon. Not enough for AF but enough to freak me out. The clinic have asked me to come in for a BT tomorrow morning which is great because I am so over this TWW. I am trying to stay positive but have had a little cry and am prepared for anything.... I really just want this roller coaster of emotions to end one way or another.
Hi to everyone else, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
mitf - I'm sorry. You just can't make sense of it can you? My thoughts are with you, let us know how you get on.
delly - almost a week down...good luck, I hope 9th is the charm.
persephone - I think one way to keep sane is to stalk this site sometimes...we're not always in the mood to share, but still look for the support and understanding that you read about on here every day. gee I'm getting teary just typing this! good luck m'dear
TLO - It sounds like you've found a great FS...isn't a shame when you're not treated like an adult with a switched on idea as to how things should be going...I'm sure after the length of time you've been to see him you'd know if there was something else worth trying. The FS's are there to help us, they get paid handsomely enough, and should remember that this isn't a business to us..it's our life. Hope it goes well.
jasminstar - anymore darker lines?? thanks for the encouragement
miss k - well, tomorrow morning we should get the results.
so been at work tonight...probably best place for me..but my mind kept wandering. very bloated last 24 hours. Nothing else, no cramps, no mood swings, no sore boobs...bloating is something I get before period.....but I feel quite serene then anxious then serene then anxious then serene....if you know what I mean!
Anyway, we're both off during day tomorrow, and when DH has to go to app. I'm not allowed to answer phone, he insists we're together. He's felt very positive. Like I said before...could so go either way...the bloating tells me 'no' the sereneness hints at 'yes'.
Noone's probably gonna read this till I get my results...but I feel better
Good luck to one and all, and I'll let you all know tomorrow. ...how will I sleep!!
Airline - keeping everything crossed for you honey - good on your DH for being by your side when the call comes through - what a great support. All the very best - kick us off with a BFP!
Hugs
Delly
clinic said, that the figure's are lower than they like...they're looking for 80-100 and I'm 60, BUT my progesterone is really high, and I asked if my progesterone pessaries affect this and she said apparently not. My first IVF was only 29 on BT day, and I'd started to bleed.....so she said stay happy and get a bt on Monday with results on Tues
So trying to focus on the good stuff and ignore bad stuff!
Can I stay in 2WW thread till my next bt??
I have to go now, DH says I've abandoned him...but I had to share!!
for you all mwah
When is your BT? Hope the discharge is easing and let us know how you go.
for you and your two little embies.
