LTTTC Two Week Wait - August 08

Oh dear....I am nervous now...

Will be checking first thing in the a.m....expect reports please...and DON'T freak out if no lines yet....OK?????

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.

Glad AT LAST someone here step up to put some straight jacket on us...;)

bei bei: i notice your mood is grumpy? i hope it's not because i said don't test i just kinow how hard it was for me and i dont want anyone to go thru that.
why cause ourselves more pain than we need.
hope all is well with you

Oh JBM, I have been grumpy for days, not because of you of course..actually I am feeling a lot better today so I have now changed my 'mood' :lol:

Thanks for looking out for us, we sure need to support each other through this evil TWW...I think you are right I will try to hold off for tomorrow's testing...:)

Hi girls,

Sorry to have "disappeared". Have been very busy at work as well as managing a major crisis at home which I am hoping would be resolved tomorrow... don't have time to go into details as yet...

Just a short note to wish you all good luck...

AFM, still waiting for O.

Kahlan

:loveshower: You crazies!! :loveshower:

don't i know it...I should be locked up in re-hab to get over this POAS stuff.
It drives me insane - but not doing it drives me more insane..

Morning Ladies,

Well.....I went home last night and I was tempted to POAS. But I didn't. I ate chocloate instead.

As for this morning, instead of waking up at 3am as per usual I woke up and 5am and had to pee. I then went back to bed. When it was time to get up at 6am - I had no pee left anyway. So, no POAS for me today.

I have been thinking about it too. I think the need to POAS is outweighed by the need not to see a negative result. If you know what I mean. I think I'd rather live in a land of ignornace wondering one way or the other than see that there are no lines on the stick and start thinking that it hasn't worked.

I've moved my test to Sunday. With all the waiting I have done over the last 3 months I'm pretty sure I can stick it out for 4 more sleeps.

Thanks for the wake-up call JBM.

I hope all you other lovely mamas are doing ok and have a fabulous day.


Ciao for now

M-wha

Good on you Nixon, amazing will power...well, similar like you, I got everything ready and then was too freake out to see no lines, so I decided to go as planned - test tomorrow monring.

I have been exetremly tired these couple of days, went to bed at 930pm each night and slept straight to 7am...I feel great in the morning but then in the afternoon I just want to doze off somewhere...apart from that, no sore bbs, nothing, nada...

Minniemouse, how are you going? I hope the line is getting darker...hope you are coping ok hun...

JBM, how is your TWW so far? any symptoms yet?

Not looking good at all for me..

Hey Bei - I'm the same knackered in the arvo. Sometimes in the morning too, but after 9 - 10 hours sleep - crazy. I think it could be the emotional drain catching up on me. It always happens to me like that - anything super emotional and I just have to sleep. Or it could be a little tiny baby making me sleepy - I hope so....

my BB's have been really sore the last 2 weeks, but are not as bad anymore. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Minnie - are yo ok? Why not looking good?
X

Oh Minniemouse, this is really hard time for all of us, so don't be too hard for yourself... let me know if you want to chat...:hug:

Ok, that's it! I just have this really dreadful feeling before AF arrives...I have to get myself some 'prawn ricepaper rolls' for lunch. I know I need to be careful with my diet and all that blar blar blar just in case :rolleyes: but no testing, no prawns? that's just too much for me....

Bei Bei - I'm hearing ya on the food situ. My booze and my cheese and my caffeine gone in one fell swoop. Alas. (I'm actually doing better than I thought I would). You can't be super dooper careful all the time. Don't beat yourself up.

AFM -
I'm starting to feel crampy (not massively - I never really used to get cramps before AF pre-IVF). I have just felt pretty positive all week - until this afternoon. It's starting to feel a bit unlikely that it is going to happen. I'm not going to get all doom and gloom, but I'm not lookig forward to Sunday at all now.

:hello: girls,

Lulu - why do you say its not looking good? I am still :cheer: for you sweetie - i so hope you are wrong and you get a BFP.

Nixon - not you too - come on girls some of us have to get a BFP and i have been :pray: really hard for ALL of you.

BeiBei - I too have had slight AF type pains but nothing huge, and that could be the meds too (positive thinking;) ) i sure hope its not AF.

Future - how are you going? All still okay in your camp?

Me - i have absolutely no idea which way to go, one minute i feel positive the next minute i am sure i will get a BFN , my boobs this cycle have hardly been sore, a little tender but that all, all other cycles my boobs are sore even prior to transfer so i have no idea whats up with that (but that makes me think not good), i have been burping non stop which is supposedly a good thing but who knows, i pee alot but then again i am drinking a hell of alot of water - so i am prepared for the worst but hoping for the best.
Only one embie left in the bank and then thats it.:( So i am hoping i won't need it.

Spreading heaps of :bluedust: and positive vibes for you girls - i so hope all your dreams come true.

Hey girls, wishing you all the very best of luck!!!:pray:

Lulu I have everything crossed for you, i hope so much that you are wrong:pray:

Lissie, yes burping, bloated, popping off a very good sign, one that a good friend of mine picked up on and said I think you are BFP you should test, the only sign that I had and have never had it before??????;)Anyway you know the story....... Only 2 more sleeps:pray:

Futuremum, hope things are looking good for you;)

Sorry to crash your TWW just wanted to check in on my bestest support girls ever.

Pam,

Thanks so much for looking in on us - you are such a sweet woman. :hug:
Not long for you now and that precious little bub will be here in your arms.

awww... we love youse Pammie-girl...

Hi Girls,

I was on the Aug thread, but after my transfer today hoping you don't mind if I join in here?
This is my very first TWW as I have never made it this far before (OHSS). I am sure I will have lot's of questions about the symptoms etc. Tonight I start crinone for the first time. Doesn't sound like it's much fun.
Hoping you can stay as postive as you can, that the time passes fast, and that there are sticky vibes all round.
Will pop in again soon x

Welcome Aleenta - goodluck sweetie...:hug:

Hi girls

I've been lurking a bit in the evenings, not got much to say really though I'm quite well and busy at work.

:)

That's all I can say because I don't want to be negative but trying so hard to be postive

Also trying to accept what may be..


Love to all

Aleenta - Hi and i hope you get your BFP - :goodluck2:

Futuremum - Stay positive - you just never know - :hug:

Hi everyone,

Well it seems yesterday everyone went a little crazy with the POAS debacle!!

I'm glad to see you are all doing a bit better today.

Sending you all big hugs and hoping for wonderful results for you all.

Stay strong and good to yourselves.

Extra big hug to my beautiful friend Lulu.

Take care,

Bel

Hi Aleenta, welcome to BB and congrats on the transfer and now TWW...I hope it will be kind to you...

Future mum, you are very lucky to be busy at work, at least can take things off your mind during the day. You know what, Idol has been keeping my mind off things in the evening...
the audition is hilarious and I am not even an Idol fan...:D

Lissie, I don't know about you, but sore bbs have never been a big symptoms for me...sending lots of :stickyvibesgirl: to you

Minniemouse, I am praying so hard that there will be a :bfp: for you at the end of all this

Nixon, still staying away from the temptation?

AFM, I am still battling between 'negative thoughts' and 'positive hopes'...I am feeling better in the evening, lots of distractions, I curse work for being so quite lately and it drives me completely mental...I was going to test when I got home, but hunger won the race, I have to cook then Idol started...

But I don't think I can pass tomorrow morning....I have mentally prepared if it is a NO. I will let you know then...

Hi girls
Well i have officially made it to my first TWW, 1st cycle didnt go so well but had great results this time around. Had EPU last friday 15 eggs, 11 mature and 10 fertilised so that was a nice bday prsent. Had 8 make it to day 3 and 4 to today. Had a beautiful 4AA blastocyst put back home today so stick little bubbie stick. Testing on the 8th September.

To all the girls in here lets hope the wait goes quick and we get our longed for BFP's. Sticky vibes all round!!

Love
Bee (25) DH(31)

:pray: for a little angel to call our own....stick bubbie stick!!

Bee & Aleenta: Welcome to the TWW (aka the nightmare). No, I'm only kidding. I has been 1 week since my transfer and it feels like 6 weeks, but the girls on this thread have kept me entertained. It's nice to have contact with other people who can be temporarily as mental as I am at times.

Bei: I have since managed to resist. My evenings now consist of....walk to bathroom - pick up test - um and ah for 5 minutes - put test down - go back to Idol (or dance) - repeat. Ugh. 3 more sleeps. I'm not feeling as confident as I was earlier in the TWW. Crampy things are happening which is not normally my gig around AF time. Oh well, roll on weekend. Let us know how you get on with your POAS this morn. I'll be chanting BFP, BFP, BFP until I hear from you.

Minnie: I'm sending you plenty of positive vibes your way.

FM & Lis: Hope you are well. Sending the vibes your way too.

Bel: Thanks for popping in to say Hi. Hopefully you'll be back soon.

I had a great dream this morning of seeing the second line, but reality is very ugly. I did it this morning, no trace of the second line. So I am very much crashed and my mood is in the gutter now.

Nixon, don't do it! Hold on until Sunday b/t if you can. This is not a good game to play when you lose. :(

Hope everyone else is having better luck than me.

Oh Bei...I so know how you are feeling. When is your BT? Hey - people tell me all the time these things can be wrong..blah blah...I am not going to try and convince you - only you know how you feel and what's going on. I'm here for you sweetie - ok so not feeling so hotsie totsie either - but here with a shoulder..let's hope u got one of the dud sticks.. :hug:

Nic - put it down - you have done so well till now...and you would only have an honest result with first pee of the morning anyway - so dont even think about doing it at night. Not enough hormone concentration.

Lissie - I sure know how you're feeling..I think you have your BT tomorrow?? Mine is not till Monday but I already know my result. Man I hope you break the drought. No-one is more deserving.. :hug:

Futuremum - I know its so hard when you are feeling so down and negative. Unfortunately, sometimes that's just our reality..hang in there.. :hug:

Bee - welcome - you got a great result, congratulations. Hope it all works out for you.

Aleenta - still in the early days..hope you're doing ok.

Me - plodding along. Went home last night with a fever. Feeling better today (at work ofcourse..). POAS getting worse - so I'm afraid I know my result.

Hang in there chick-a-dees...

Ahhh Bei bei - I'm sorry babe. The only thing I can think to say (and I know it's not necessarily the same) but they told me that on Day 5 I would only have 1 emby frozen and then between day 5 and day 7 they had a growth spurt and I ended up with 2 frozen on day 7. I'm hoping that your amount of HcG has a spurt in the next 2 days. When was your BT again? Was it Sunday?

X

Thanks girls, I am feeling a bit better now, not so dramatic any more....b/t is on Sunday...lucky I have sth. else to deal with this morning, just fired my real estate agent, hehe evil laugh...:p

Lissie, is yours tomorrow? And you haven't tested? I am so admiring your will power.

Minniemouse, I will be thinking of you on Monday.

Congrats Bee on a good number and hope everyone else is doing well and someone got to get that BFP!

Bei - We're BT-ing on the same day.......:crossfingers:

Hi All

I've been reading all your posts but been busy at work at the moment and just waiting for my transfer.

BeiBei - Hold out till the BT, sometimes it takes a bit longer to grab on and get the levels up so hopefully this is you case.

Nixon: Hope your BT gives you the best present of all.

Future Mum: From your by line, are you under Russell Dalton @ Ballarat IVF. If so, I love the girls there, they are fantastic and make me feel like I am special as they really get to know you and not make me feel like I'm stupid everytime I call and ask a crazy question. Are you in Ballarat or in surrounding area??

AFM: I'm hoping my TWW will commence early Oct, but will be checking to see all the BFP's before then.

Lovely Lissie wherever you are....goodluck for tomorrow...stay cool and remember you have done everything possible to get this dream...I am thinking about you... :hug:

:hello: girls,

Lulu - and i am thinking of you but i really wish you would stop POAS! i know its your way of coping but the both my clinics have told me not to do it - to many people get the wrong results both ways - its only cause i care about you and i don't want you to stress out until absolutely necessary - my concern is coming from a good place:hug::hug: and i so hope and :pray: that you are wrong - you would make a great mummy.

Bei - i am not going to say sorry yet cause i still think you should wait for your BT to get a correct answer - i just don't trust those damn POAS things, i did it once and got a negative result and it turned out i was UTD after all - okay i did m/c a week later but i was preggers and that damn stick said i wasn't! REal estate agents i hate them (gee i hope none of you are agents!) when we sold our place on the Gold Coast we had a couple of ****y agents that we too got rid of. ANyway Bei i still want to wish you luck for your BT and i am :pray: for you too.

Nixon - try to hold out if you can - wait for that BT its only a few more days. I know its hard but truly like i said before i just don't trust those little things. :goodluck2:

Bee - what wonderful results you got - hope your little one is sticking like mad - sending you heaps of sticky vibes.

Hi to everyone else - did not mean to miss anyone - not intentional.

Me - well the big day tomorrow and yes as you have most likely guessed i have not POAS - i will know soon enough - still have absolutely no idea which way to think - in the mornings i think BFN but then at night i think BFP - but i must admit this seems to have been the shortest TWW for me, its seems to have flown by, for some reason i am not as anxious this time round i guess in a way i have just accepted that what will be will be and no amount of stressing/crying /ranting etc will change the outcome and yes Lulu we have done all possible so i have no regrets, if this does not work we still have one more little precious embie left - lets hope we don't need it and tomorrow i get to deliver some good news. I will be thinking of you girls - i so hope that we all get a BFP wouldn't that be wonderful?

Lissie, you are such a sweet woman! Its a bless to have you in TWW, not only you don't POAS and spread negative vibes like me, but so strong in your own way! I so hope and pray real hard to wish you all the luck for tomorrow, I will be thinking of you! :hug:

Lissie- All the very best for tomorrow. I truly hope you get wonderful news.

Everyone else, the biggest of hugs.

Stay strong

Bel

Hi guys don't feel like saying much but wishing all the best for everyone and thinking of you tomorrow lissie

kellyd yep I'm with God though I don't like him or any of them much atm but that's only cause things aren't going my way - got to be mad at someone and all that. I know they're doing their best for me.

lulu I get addicted to checking my reps here so... so there ya go.


:loveshower: for everyone

Hey Girls,

thanks for making me feel really welcome.
Bee - fabulous news and glad you made it to your first TWW too. I know for me it feels like a major milestone. I think I am still in the 'honeymoon' period where I am just happy to be in the TWW, so not looking forward to when the anxiety kicks in as it inevitably will.
Lissie - I have everything crossed for you that tomorrow is your day for BFP!! That's what this thread needs is a BFP - so bring it on!! I am going to use you as an inspiration to not test too, its great you have remained so strong.
Bei - I think sacking your real estate agent sounds like a good outlet! You go girl there are some shockers out there
Lulu and futuremum hope you are feeling better and sending hugs your way
Nixon Good luck to you too, not long to go now
And to everyone, there is so much courage here amongst the pain that I just wanted to say you all rock big time, and thanks for having the time to listen to others whilst you deal with your own lot.
Ciao for now and big hugs

Thinking of you today Lissie
