LTTTC Two Week Wait - Dec to Jan

I am starting to go mad. Only two days down and another 12 to go ...

Marcellus, am I right to assume from your post in the other thread that your name is to be added to the Hall of Fame? Woo hoo, please say it's so.

:shhh: I'm being circumspect.
But thanks:)

When is your BT? Any symptoms?

It was last thursday

Okay, I'm only a relative newbie but there's obviously a reason for this secrecy ... I'll just say congrats on the sly then ;)

I'm starting to go stir crazy ... Apparently sending DH mad. Boo hoo.

brunette - my transfer was 06.04.10 & my blood test is 19.04.10. is that the same as you?how are you doing. I'm trying so hard to take it easy, I've had a couple of days off work to chill. how about you? what day embryos did you have transferred? it's nice to chat to somebody in the same boat. hang in there. x

Gosh, we're pretty much in the same boat, kmm. That's great; we can keep each other company :D

My transfer was one day before yours, on the 5th, and my BT is one day before yours, on the 19th. This is a frozen cycle for me. Two day three embies were thawed two day before transfer and both made it to blast - one hatching and one enlarged, which is the stage just prior to hatching.

I think I recall from your other post that you had two embies transferred - day 3s, I think? So you must be on a fresh cycle? How you feeling?

Brunette, my BT is on 19.04.10 is that the same as you? this time I had two day three embryos transferred. I have only ever had day five transfers in the past, but these two didn't look like making it to day five. it was a gamble to transfer two, hopefully we made the right decision. I feel like a monster, I hope you're feeling better. x

kmm, yep, my BT is the 19th - same as you! God, FX we both get a BFP! Why do you feel like a monster?

Brunette, KMM: help me out here, what should I be feeling? BT is Wed 14th, AF was due either Tues/Wed just gone, so I'm maybe 5 days o/due (which is not usual for me, I'm pretty much a 28/29 day cycle). Normally I only get cramping the day before or the morning when AF comes, but for the last 3 days or so I've felt like she's coming and I don't know if this is the crinone gel? I've also had a massive headache constantly, again I think it's the crinone. No breast heaviness or any other symptoms. I'm thinking positively as much as I can, that it's a side effect of the progesterone.

DH and I had a barney last week, he just doesn't understand me. We went grocery shopping yesterday and I was holding my tummy and he said "I hope the little one's not tossing and turning too much for you" and I responded with "with what I'm feeling, I hope the little one's still okay" - WELL! that caused another disagreement as he says I'm not being positive. I'm the one who every 5 minutes when no-one's looking is rubbing their lower belly telling the little one to hang on tight in there, that Mummy and Daddy loves them and wants to see them in 8mths or so. I'm not really religious but I've even prayed to God that he can give me my family. I'm going to acupuncture, I'm eating well, I'm not lifting anything heavy or straining, I'm having lukewarm showers even though my showers are normally scalding hot. I'm trying to do everything I can - what else can I do?

Is there anything else, other than praying that I can do here? I'm not going to POAS in case the HCG is not high enough to register.

DH is stressing me out and I don't want anything to jeopardise this. Are you ladies getting the support that you need, or like me are you feeling a bit alone in this? DH hadn't even really asked how I was feeling until the barney last week when I told him that I felt alone and unsupported.

Aaaargh, what a long ranting post. sorry. DH has taken off on the motorbike for a ride, to get away from me. KMM, is that what you mean about feeling like a monster?

sorry for the rant, really needed to get that off my chest, and find out if you guys are having any symptoms and what you attribute them to?

Thanks,
Chrissy

Big hugs to you CK. I'm sorry you aren't getting the support that you feel you need. It's a rough rough road, and it's hard to explain/describe it to other people, isn't it? Even to those closest to us. Even those who have been through similar journeys feel different things in different ways - but we are just more understanding and aware.
As far as symptoms go - all I can say is don't read too much into them. Easy for me to say, I know. But sometimes you get a BFP with no symptoms, sometimes with every pg symptom imaginable!

It's difficult to relax and think about other things - just know that thinking positive or negative does not change how your little embie is doing.
None of you are monsters - just regular people in a monstrous situation !!

ck. sweetie big hugs to you. I'm sorry things are tough for you at the moment. I hope things improve quickly. I have no advice re what you should be feeling, sorry, I wish I knew what I should be feeling. for what it's worth, the one thing I've learned from my ivf experience is that everybody has a different story. comparisons haven't helped me just made it worse. I had a couple of rough days emotionally and reading Lenny's post (thanks Lenny) was a good way to summarize. this is a monstorous situation we are in. hang in there. wishing all the very best. x

Thanks guys for the support - really appreciate it.

Medicare rebate hit the bank acct last night so that's one less thing to be stressing about thankfully. Was in my account within 72hours.

This time tomorrow, my BT! I'll also be hanging out to see the results of the two BTs on the 19th for Brunette and KMM. Good things come in three's, and these are all Easter transfers (approximately) so Easter is all about new beginnings.

:crossfingers: :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:

Have a great Tuesday (my problem child at work is out of town so that's another stressful thing that has been removed for me! yay!)

Chrissy

Good luck for tomorrow CK :goodluck:

I have my fingers crossed for you CK. good luck sweetie. x

brunette how are you travelling?

Time for a new thread

:goodluck:
