JVOL - congratulations!!
Looks like tomorrow is a big day for a lot of the girls.
Good luck everyone - :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesgirl:
AFM - feeling very dodgy today, not sure whats going on. Also had a few spots, was thinking could be implantation bleeding, am 4 days past blastie transfer. BT not until monday week, but AF due on Friday and normally is early, so if i make it to monday i will be happy.
Have a good week girls. Positive thoughts. :pray::pray:
Hi all,
Have any of you experienced pain a day or couple of hours after your transfer? I've been having period like pains today and only had my day 5 transfer yesterday. I will call my nurse tomorrow but wanted to hear from all of you!
Apologies for no personals, I hope you are all going well!
Thanks
Hi Everone..
I won't go into any personals cause i'm super knacked but I just wanted to post that I did a POAS this morning and got 2 lines, so I did another and came up 2 lines again.. I know some of you will think i'm mad for getting too excited before BT confirmation but I have decided to behave like anyone TTC'ing who has never had the fun taken out of it all by IVF so i'm putting the fun back in and declaring I'm Pregnant... For anyone testing tomorrow.. I've had no symptoms other than sore (O)(O) and I get them before AF.. Have had some cramping and pulling but nothing of note so don't give up.. I only tested this morning to put my feet back on the ground with a negative cause I have never been late for AF and I was hoping a negative would settle me.. Didn't quite work out that way..
lilmisshavachat congratulations that is the best news. so happy that you have got your two line - i look forward to the news of a positive BT tomorrow. x
Wow! lilmisshavachat ! Congratulations! :dance: I have everything crossed for you that your bt reflects your good news on the stick! :pray:
I've been up since bloody sparrows fart this morning, trying to guage the level of crampiness in my belly compared to the level of pain in my boobs. All I can say now is my nipples are killing me!! :lol:
Off to shower and be at the bt bright and early in hope of not pro-longing the dreaded waiting day!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
Lilmisshaveachat - A huge CONGRATS!! So :happyforyou: All the best for a H&H pregnancy. x
AFM - AF has arrived today - well 99.9% sure i guess as i still have BT on Thursday which is probably going to be a bit pointless. Im probably going to be out of here for quite a while as we dont have any money to try again just yet. Im going to try some other things for DH and try naturally for a while and will be trying not to stress about anything and then I guess you never know.
Its hard to come in here when you have BFP's to see - i hope everyone undertsands but I will be thinking about you all and have :crossfingers: that you do all go well.
I will pop in to see how you are going from time to time though. Wishing you all the very best xxx
I'm so sorry Loops12 that the evil witch has arrived.. When that happened to me I got them to bring my BT forwadr a couple of days just so I knew for sure.. It may help..
Good luck Sharon1977 - Sounds promising.. I had cramp and pulling for quite a few days and sore BB's but they were exactly like AF BB's so too hard to tell... I reckon the big indicator for me has been (TMI Warning) constipation... I HOPE TODAY BRINGS YOU GOOD NEWS..
Thanks for that! Have pretty much lost all hope though coz the spotting started as soon as I got home from my bt. :wall:
I now have a nice block of fruit and nut choc to munch on while I wait! :lol:
Thanks Lilmiss - I called the nurse before and she actually said I could have the BT a day earlier - so at least there is one good thing about that - I will be able to stop doing the horrid Crinone Gel and wont have anymore constipation. thank god.
Thanks for your support and sympathies. x
Sharon - I hope the spotting is not AF and you get a good BT result. :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Hi girls,
I'm out. Not my month this month.
Best of luck to everyone still in the 2ww!
hi all,
so sorry to hear your news sharon1977 and loops12. i am shattered for you both. i am in the same boat as you Loops12. i can't affard to go anymore. physically and financially.
i hope all is good and positive for you lilmisshavachat!!!
asm...i do however feel i am heading in the same direction as both loops12 and sharon1977. i hate to feel so down and out when i still have days to wait, but you just know by all your body signs. i had craps and pulling on the tues 4 days post ET.then on thurs (6 dyas post et)i was sick all afternoon right up until i fell asleep. my (0)(0) were so sore they hurt when i stood up out of bed and bent over! the feelings then dissapeared each day after that. my (0)(0) are still sore but that's fromt he pessaries. i did a POAS this morning and no dble lines. so i think by day 10 post ET i would have got something??
anyway. BT is now on thursday, so will hld out till then.
goodluck all the girls trying this month!
So sorry Sharon - I know how you feel. Big hugs and hang in there - we'll pull through together. GL for future trying xo
Kittycat - I so hope you're wrong about AF - I hate it when others go through it too. I still have everything crossed for you. :bluedust::stickyvibesgirl:
I might look at doing IUI again after a few months - just because it is cheaper. I really dont know - have to make an appointment with my FS and see what he thinks.
I really hope this is it for you and you dont have to worry about these things. All the very best x.
HI all,
Loops12 - so sorry for you - i know what you mean about coming in here and seeing BFP's when you havent had one. It's hard, even though you are happy for the other girls.
kittycat27 - 3 more days so hang in there!
sharon1977 - so sorry for you, hope you are ok.
lilmisshavachat - awesome news for you!!:happyforyou:
And, it breaks my heart to hear you girls say that you wont be back because you cant afford it. When they changed the rules i wrote an email to julia gillard - it was just after our first BFN and i was really emotional. I told her how totally soul destroying it is to deny couples this treatment due to the economics of it all. She never responded. I think i will try it again. I really hope all the girls can have access to IVF, without having to worry about the cost - it's already cruel enough what we go through. :wall::wall:
Write to Julia GIllard: Julia.Gillard.MP@aph.gov.au
AFM: no news is good news.
good luck girls.
Hi girls
Just wanted to pop in and say how very sorry I am for those of you who have had BFN's (loops and sharon). It's completely devastating and I know how hard it must be. I really hope you all get your BFP's very soon.
Lilmisshavachat - congrats on the POAS positive. Hope the blood test confirmed this. Let us know.
Jayejaye - looks like you and I are testing on the same day (17 Aug). That will be 15dpo for me, and I'll be lucky if I make it that far. My tradition is that AF usually arrives around 13dpo which will be Saturday, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Good luck to you.
Sorry for no more personals, but I have to get to work.
Good luck to everyone in the TWW.
Wishes xoxo
Thanks again for all you well wishes and I know how hard that can be so thank you again.. My BT came back with HCG as 91 and they said anything over 70 is a BFP so it's confirmed... Good luck girls.. It is so hard and I never thought it would ever happen and I think we do that sometimes to protect ourselves.. I'll be following you all and I hope there is some good news for you all in the not too distant future...
Well done Lilmiss - once again - a very big congratulations and all the very best. Hope to see you in the pregnancy threads perhaps one day.
JayeJaye - thanks for your kind words and comfort. I hope your little one sticks, all the very best.
GL to everyone still waiting, will be thinking of you all.
I will be hanging around on BB because Im feeling alot happier and more positive now thanks to you lovely ladies xoxo
Hi Girls,
Just popped in to say I'm really sorry this wasn't your month Sharon & loops12. I will keep my fingers crossed for you girls anyway, as I know it's only a matter of time before you will be announcing your BFPs! Big hugs to you both and I'm really glad you'll hang around loops12, belly has been so good to me in all my trials and tribulations :grouphug:
:hello: to everyone else and GL for those still awaiting BTs.
Beata xxx
Lilmiss, congrats hun :loveshower:! Well done hun, and wishing you a very smooth and H&H 9 months or so. Give yourself a nice little pat on the back. I hope your good news rub off in here soon :leap:!
Beata xxx
Hiya Girls,
A big fat congrats to the BFPs in here and :grouphug: for the BFNs, they really suck a**!!
Well I'm back in the TWW post morula t'fer x 2! I know, weird huh? They were four day embies and had grown to about 24-30 cells, scientist coundn't be sure as they were compacting and becomming blasts. I feel a bit more confident about these ones because they were much further along than the single, slow, 8 cell embie i had back last time. No frosties again this cycle, and this is my last and only shot with fresh sperm, DH will not tolerate another TESA. I have 2 frozen vials but last time frozen stuff resulted in very very poor embie quality. Anyway, i have not really posted about this cycle in the other thread because i just didn't want to invest in it too much emotionally in case of another BFN, crazy i know but im sure you know what i mean. I will keep you posted!
XX Mell....
congratulations for anyone that has had a BFP this month!!
AFM...i am hanging in on the TWW which is ending tomorrow. i have had so many symptoms, but they have come and gone most of them. tender and sore (0)(0), nausea, extreme tiredness, indegestion too name a few. they feel like they have all just faded away. so i suspect something started to happen just like the last time. i had a reading of hcg, but it was unviable.
i feel like i have more AF feelings now, so have come to terms with the fact that it may not be happening again this month.
so if it dosen't happen for us this month i am out for good. it's sad to say. i just don't feel like it will happen. my daughter needs a fulltime mother, not one that is always tired, sick or has her mind on other things. it's just not fair on her anymore. i have TTC since she was only 18mnths and she is 4.5yrs.
so i send everyone big sticky vibes and i will pop in tomorrow to let you know the result, good or bad!
bye
michelle
All the very best Kittycat - that is so admirable what you are doing for your daughter. I will be sending all the :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: I can and will have everything crossed for you. Perhaps if it doesnt happen though and you stop thinking about it maybe it will happen - you know what they say. Because you will be more relaxed.
I wish you all the luck in the world right now. GL
Hi Girls,
I have finally made it to this thread! It always seemed so elusive and I am excited to finally be joining you all.
Firstly, to those who have achieved their long awaited BFPs, a huge congratulations! You guys bring us hope that it can be done and I wish you all the best for a H&H pregnancy.
At to those who were met with BFNs, I am sorry it wasn't your time to shine but I hope that if you decide to give it another shot, it will be with some success. You ladies inspire a whole lot of other women, myself included.
kittycat27 - I think your decision shows what a great person you obviously are. I am still sending you sticky vibes and hoping for the best for you.
I had a blastie transferred this morning and have spent the time before and after the transfer receiving acupuncture which has helped to keep me calm and relaxed. Now chilling out at home and getting ready to return to work tomorrow. FS said implantation could occur in around 48hrs and my BT is on Mon 24th August. So until then it's keeping busy, keeping healthy and crossing fingers and toes.
All the best to everyone - I look forward to getting to know more of you.
xxTaurean78
Hi Ladies,
I thought I would pop in and join you. I have offically joined the TWW with 1 precious little embie transfer this morning. Had AP done at lunch and am now chilling at home.
I am felling pretty calm at the moment but it is usually the second week that I start to to turn in to a crazy woman.
Some :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for us all.
Taurean - me must have been posting at the same time. Glad to hear that everything went well today. I made sure I had some straberries after your advice.... anything that can possibly help! I see we have the same BT day as well. Hopefully we will both be celegrating. :goodluck::crossfingers:
Hi Girls,
Just popped in quickly to say that I would recommend (if possible) to stay at home for at least a day or two post transfer. I was told by so many girls to do this and that's what I did in my last cycle and it paid off! The less you do, the better (I mean fully lie on the couch and do NOTHING). Anyway, thought I'd put my two bobs in, don't have to listen to me though! lol.
GL and lost of :stickyvibesgirl: to you all.
Beata xxx
Hi Mitf!
Hope all went well for you and that your acupuncture was lovely and relaxing.
I can't get over how in synch our cycles have been!
Started FSH same day, EPU same day, ET same day, BT same day.
And....it gets weirder...both 31 y.o and both had Lap/Hyst June 09.
Well let's just hope that we both get a BFP on the same day!
Beata70 - Thanks so much for your advice. Unfortunately my sick leave is rapidly dwindling and so tomorrow off is just not possible but I am starting the day with meditation in the workplace and will be taking it as easy as I can (I'm a primary school teacher!). Lots of sitting down, no shouting at the small children and then straight home for feet up!
xxTaurean78
Hi Ladies
Well as expected blood test today confirmed BFN! So stupid the way you have to get it when you know for sure you arent pg.
Those that just got in here all the very best! I seriously and honestly hope you do much better than us. Stay positive and I recon take Beata's advice because I now think perhaps I did too much and stressed too much.
Take it easy! FX for you all.
Much love xoxo
Hi Ladies,
I'm new to the 2WW group with two blasties transferred Monday and FX big time.
Taurean, Mitf Hi guys. Mitf delighted everything went well for you today. Taurean thanks for the link. My BT is same day as you guys - I did query the nurse on this as it's not normal to wait 14 days after a 5 day blastie transfer - I should be testing on the Friday - a few days is not much to them but it's a bleeding eternity to me! I think I will have to cave and do a HPT before the BT date.
Loops, sorry for your BFP - it does seem weird they made you go through the test when you've known for several days now what it would show. Wishing you luck in the future.
Hi to the rest of you and FX and luck for us all.
Hi Jasminstar - was wondering why you weren't in here when I popped in earlier today. Glad to see you found us now. I can't beleive you, Taurean & I are all having BT's the same day... could prove for one very exciting Monday!!
Taurean - We really are the cycle twins aren't we! :crossfingers: the trend will continue with BFP's on the same day!!
Beata - thanks for the advice too. I have managed one day off work but unfortunately 2 days will be pushing it. I will do my best not to work to hard though. :lol:
Hi
just wondering 2 things. I've noticed in previous 2ww that when in bed, if lying on my side and stretching I get a sharp pain around my pelvic region, normally on my right hand side. Does anyone else have this?
Secondly last cycle that failed, I literally woke up one day feeling awful...moody, negative, horrible, which the clinic told me was probably my body beginning to miscarry. Have others felt this dramatic mood swing? ?? I feel like that today, and having been on an even keel for a few weeks now, it's depressing and I'm worried that it's failed, even though BT isn't till 20th August.
Thank you for listening and any responses, and continuing sticky vibes to all.
No good news for me this time. Sorry, too upset to discuss. So long girls, i wish you luck
hi all....
I am posting my confirmation that again i have recieved a BFN.
thank you for everyone's kind words. goodluck to all that are in the TWW and that are continuing with this TTC journey.
i'm going to move on in my life and give 110% to my daughter. i have no more embryos frozen and do not intend on doing anymore IVF.
i may look at trying chinese medicine and natural remedies next year. but for now am not going to let TTC consume my life anymore.:wall:
take care.
michelle
KittyKat - so sorry to hear about your BFN. This journey can be so heartbreaking when our hearts are filled with such high hopes. So glad that you have one little angle to cuddle and I wish you all the best with your more natural remedies next year. x
Jayejaye - also so sorry to hear about your BFN. I wish all the best as you try and recuperate and hope that you find your deserved success at some stage in the future. :hug:
kittycat27 - I am sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you. You have put such a positive spin on it and your daughter is one lucky little girl to have such a fantastic mum. All the best with the Chinese Medicine route and we'll always be here if you just want a chat.:comfort:
jayejaye - Please don't apologise. You do what you have to to get through this difficult time. I am sorry to hear that you didn't get your BFP this month:hug:
Airline - Sorry but I haven't experienced what you describe. I am amazed by the way you describe your m/c. I hope your mood has picked up today and you are back on an even keel. Hang in there!
Mitf - I forgot to ask FS about DTD post ET. Maybe another LTTTC'er might be able to shed some light?
Loops12 - It seems so pointless having that BT but if you want to look at it another way, FS explained to me that it is so they can see if you actually were pg and m/c or if there was no implantation. Maybe I'm just stating the obvious but I hadn't thought about it until he said that. Sorry you still had to go through it though.
Hi to everyone else.
xxTaurean78
Hi Girls,
Loops12, jayejaye & kittycat27, I am so sorry for your BFN. I wish with all my heart that it will happen soon for you girls, and that you don't have to wait long :pray:
Kittycat27, it must take so much strength and courage to decide to end the IVF journey, if I didn't get my BFP I wonder how much strength I would have in me to keep going and for how long. I really pray that with the AP treatment, you'll be able to achieve a pg on your own :pray:
Taurean78, jasminstar & mitf, GL in your TWW girls :pray:
As for taking the days off after the transfer, I had no sick leave or annual leave accumulated, as between taking 8 weeks off last year after my late m/c and 6 weeks off this year for my myomectomy op, I only had long service leave left. Normally, work only lets you take a month off at a time of LSL, but b/c I had no leave to use apart from the LSL, they allowed me to take a couple of days out of the LSL. I think the important thing is to take it really easy.
GL girls and let sanity be your friend!

Hi Ladies,
Airline, I have noticed a similar sharp pain both left and right when I stretch since EPU but it is getting better - not sure if that could be related to what you're describing. Also been very pre-menstrual physically and emotionally last two days and rang clinic today as my next BT was Mon and I wanted to move to tomoro and they said not to worry about the pre-mentrual feeling due to all the hormones in my system (also said my BT should have been tommorow anyway though they didn't listen when I said that at EPU on Monday). HTH.
JayeJaye, so sorry to hear your bad news. Try to look after yourself. I don't have any words to comfort you as I can only imagine how you must be feeling. :comfort:
Kittycat27, very sorry to hear your news. Good luck with the herbal remedies and natural methods. Maybe enjoying your DD and having the pressure off will pay dividends. FX for you.
Mitf and Taurean, hope you guys are hanging tough. Any news to report? Hope all is moving along smoothly :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Taurean - re DTD I wasn't really told much other than Progesterone test next Monday and PBT Monday after. I rang today as I'm feeling quite pre-menstrual and they moved Progesterone test to tommorow saying it should have been tommorow all along - which is what I said on Monday when they gave me the Monday BT timeframe. Going to ask tommorow to also move the final BT to next Friday too.
AFM: Trying not to panic but feeling crampy and hot and bothered - very pre-menstrual for me; also a bit down in the dumps. Hoping it's nothing just changing hormones.
GL to us all :goodluck:
Jasminstar & Taurean - I don't know how you guys are going but it's only 2 days post ET and I am already a nut case.... I am driving myself crazy. I found myself looking at HPT's in the supermarket last night. I was tempted to buy one and ask DH to hide it till I begged him to give it to me but I left it on the shelf. Are you guys going to POAS or refrain?
Airline - I was having some discomfort & pain on my right side, particularly when my bladder was full and pushing against my insides. When I had my ET Wednesday the ultrasound showed that they were swollen follicles on my ovaries which were not mature at EPU. The clinic said they will gradually disappear.... sure enough the pain is gradually subsiding. I am not sure if you are doing IVF or if it sounds similar but I hope the pain is subsiding for you also.
Kittycat - so sorry hun :comfort: But yes at least you have one little darling miracle and you are being a wonderful mum for her. I know it gets annoying people saying this after a while but you never know, you will probably fall pg naturally because you wont be stressing. I really will be hoping and keeping an eye out for that. All the very best with wherever life takes you xoxo
JayeJaye - Im sorry about your BFN too - all the best for future tries. Hugs
Thanks ladies once again for your words of comfort and support and Taureen for putting the BT issue into perspective. Perhaps they may be able to tell me if it didnt implant and then we may know where to go from here.
I have an appointment with our FS on Sept 10 so hopefully we will be able to get something happening after that.
Good luck everyone :pray:
Mitf - thanks for responding, it's not a constant pain,only occurring when I stretch fully in bed .... strange, but I'm trying to not stretch...which is harder than you'd think:D
Keep your chin up...the days are counting down! I was thinking of doing a HPT every day to see what happened, but my head's back in a good space so I think just waiting and hoping might be a better idea...oh decisions!:doh:
jaejae- your message melted my heart when I read it...I'm so sorry
Taurean - thanks for your response, I am back on an even keel again..it was like a 24hour funk. Poor DH was sure the 'black hole' had set in for a while, but I'm back to normal... well as normal as you can be on this journey:rolleyes:
Jaminstar - isn't it frustrating that hormones control so much and can indicate AF, pregnancy, pre AF, menopause etc! My waxing lady told me your pain threshold varies depending on time of cycle!...is there anything hormones don't control! Hope you're feeling a little better today - my mood's improved tenfold, so I'm just trying to stay relaxed and not obsess- ha ha ha ha!
Loops12- I'm so sorry to hear what you're experiencing. I started bleeding heavily just before my blood test, and the clinic told me the results indicated that my body hadn't rejected the embryo immediately, which now I can see as a positive. Of course at the time I was just lost in misery, tears and pain. They kept saying, you were soo close, so now I'm hoping I'm close enough this time.
Good luck to anyone in this 2ww of frustration...BT 20th - results 21st.:pray:
good luck to all those waiting in the dreadfull TWW. xo
