JMB - All the best for today. Hope it goes smoothly.
Minnie - I think I'm feeling nada too. I think I'm expecting too much.
Mel - How was your weekend?
Bei, Oscar, Futuremum, Lissie - Hope you guys had a great weekend.
So - I think we're all around the same time for BT's anmd results aren't we? Toward the end of this week and over the weekend?
I think I'm going to go for the Sunday BT. Worst case they have to re-do it onthe Monday.
I don't want to sound negative here, but can anyone tell me how I work out when AF should be due? Basically I had two visits quite close together at the start of my ICSI cycle - 1 that started on the 9th of July (which was my lastdrug/hormone free one) then again on the 28th of July (after I started Lurcrin & stopped the pill). I'm a bit confused now. My natural cycle used to be between 30 & 33 days. Any help would be appreciated.
Morning everyone, I got up today and still feeling grump, mood swing over the weekend, so didn't want to drop in to be so negative.
Nic, sorry I am not good at caculating days either especially in a stim cycle, always throw me a bit. Maybe the simpliest way is to count from your EPU day as O day, and then usually 14 days post O day? Some people get positive test even 10dpo.
Like you and Minnie mouse, I don't feel much happening either, just a twige here and there but that maybe due to pessaries...but the whole thing is doing my head in, too much expectation, too much day-counting, I am a bit sick of this game, not feeling positive at all...
Don't worry Bei - I'm feeling super cranky too. Bad sign for me - usually a 5 - 7 days before AF arrives. I'm not going to stress over it though - there is nothing I can do but hope and pray that the hatchling has managed to get a good tight grip in there.
In terms of cramps etc - I haven't been quite right since EPU. 14 days post pick up would be the 30th. It's getting better, but still a bit crampy and tender in the lower body area -back and front.
I was so nasty to DH all weekend. I feel terrible. I was a total caffeine fiend prior to transfer and thought it best to pack it in - I think that might be my problem - God, I miss it.
I'm tired all the time and my brain seems like it is running in neutral. I wouldn't mind if I knew it was a result of a BFP, but alas I will have to wait til Sunday. Maybe I'll POAS Friday or Saturday? or do you guys thik I'll be setting myself up for a fall?
Well, if I can hold off until Thursday POS, I would be proud of myself ...I have jam packed my schedule for this week, lunch/dinner etc to keep my mind off thing but its not working...
I don't know where all the expectation are coming from (I usually consider myself are pretty cool of handling this but maybe I kind of did whatever I can this cycle, herbs, AP, my girl friends even gave me a parsley plant (yeah, call me crazy) over the weekend (good old wives' tale)....I think I have already set myself up for a failure in some way. Well, if this one doesn't work out, I have decided to go for ICSI rather than IVF next cycle...
Anyway, thanks for listening and I feel better of letting it out...
Hi girls....just back from our holiday to NZ which was a great break And now starting a natural FET cycle.
Just trying to catch up with everyone's news and wanted to quickly say
Bel- so sorry you didn't get your BFP - I came and checked here to see if you did have the good news after all. Fingers crossed for next time.
All the best to everyone else too.
Sadly,I have a bad case of the flu, so won't type more just now.
well hi all
nixon: my cycles were all over the place after first IVF/ ICSI and i got af 5 days late then had 2 days bleed then af again 2 weeks after that. anyway the cycle length so actually it was a 47 day cycle with bleeding in between? who knows.
hope it all works out soon.
beibei: hugs to you
eveyone else: sticky vibes for the remainder of TWW. hoping for lots of BFP in here soon.
afm: well had my bubsicle implanted this morn now testing on 8 sep. two weeks is such a long time!
one bub didn't survive that so got 4 bubs on ice now.
counting down
Well i am just plodding along going with the flow have had some pains but i think they are mainly from the EPU also had to put up with a welt on my stomach the size of an egg from the Pregnyl shot but apparently that is a good sign that my body is reacting to it the way it should.
Well unfortunately for me i have to head back to work tomorrow after being off for a week and a half (i have a really understanding boss) and was allowed to take all the time off on sick leave.
Hey Mel - It wasn'y as hard to go back to work as I thought. I found myself getting bored and frustrated sitting around at home. At least the days go quick here and with my work it kind of forces you to think about work rather than other things. My boss has been great too. It makes such a difference.
Question: Has anyone else been experiencing the need to pee in the middle of the night and feeling sick at the same time? I feel like I have been drinking a bottle of red wine everynight and waking up at 3am feeling rough. I'm fine during the day though?
I think i have just worked out how you calculate your Af due date you count from the day after epu as being 1 count 14 days cause technically your af arrives 14 days after ovulation and epu is classed as ovulation.
So your pick up was the 16th August so Af should be due on 31st and bloods should be on the 1st if af doesnt arrive, thats how mine has worked out my Af is due 4th and my bloods are on the 5th.
Help - I'm seriously considering testing tomorrow. POS. According to the calculations due date for AF will be Saturday. I have a test that says it can be done up to 5 days before.
Somebody slap me. Am I setting myself up for disappointment here? Will the HcG from the Pregnyl injections be out of my system yet? Last injection was 1500 on Friday just gone.
Am I chancing a false negative or a false positive?
Ahhhhh Nic - I am soooooooooooo the wrong person to ask about POAS.
This is how experienced I am...I finished Pregnyl Sunday so I know it's still in my system. I started testing today and yes there is a line which I know is Pregnyl. So now I test daily to see if it fades or gets darker. Yes I know this is sooooooo sick...but what can I say..I am addicted to POAS. I am one of those people who has to know before the phone call. It's easier for me that way.
I know that's not the answer you were after Nic...I guess it depends on how strong you are. The Pregnyl can take up to a week to fully leave your system, so maybe that helps, but with me I know it it gets darker, aint the Pregnyl.
HAHAHAHAH - that's classic - I actually considered the same thing - but I wouldn't have had a clue about the line getting darker.
I had lunch with a friend today who said that she was surprised how calm I was being.
She can't see inside my head. I think I'm doing a reasonable job of the calm exterior and keeping the crazy b*tch locked up tight in my head - she seems to be able to break out on the Belly forum
I think I'm going to do it tomorrow. I'm a big believer in "it ain't over til the fat lady sings" so hopefully I won't be too destraught if it's not a double line.
I'll let you know how it goes in the morning........
Nic, if you are looking for someone to slap you, I am definately not the one! The only chance is you will drag me with you...ie. test early
Like Minnie, I am also a person 'to test before phone call', I just have to know. My plan was to test Thursday, which will be one week and one day post transfer. But I can't see harm to do it tomorrow if I can help it....
I think it will take 7 days to let pregnl out of your system, but I only have pessary and I don't think that will affect the result...we will see...
I also just remembered why I decided to test on Thursday as I only have 4 test left in the drawer, I didn't want to get more because I know I will go nuts...so I will be trying very hard not to but if I do, Nic, you are the one to blame...
WARNING!!!
do not test early
if you get 2 lines beacause of hormones then get af it is heart wrenching. i put myself thru hell last time as i got 2 lines then i started to bleed so i never really knew if i was pregnant or not this time i would rather wait and i know how hard it's going to be but i'd rather say it just didn't stick than know i had another mc. after 4 i can't bear any more.
all is well with me, no gym today just walk with friend to help burn some fat. counting down. 13 days to testing.
...I have jam packed my schedule for this week, lunch/dinner etc to keep my mind off thing but its not working...
but maybe I kind of did whatever I can this cycle, herbs, AP, my girl friends even gave me a parsley plant (yeah, call me crazy) over the weekend (good old wives' tale)....I think I have already set myself up for a failure in some way. Well, if this one doesn't work out, I have decided to go for ICSI rather than IVF next cycle...
