LTTTC Two Week Wait - Feb 2008 #3

[Lissie]

Janie,

stop beating yourself up! Its okay - i think we have all done at one time or another. Thats why i hate HPT's but they are also very tempting to all of us. My logical brain says wait for BT as sometimes the HPT's have been wrong - but then the impatient brain says pee on that stick! You are right sometimes POAS brings no comfort sometimes they actually make things worse. My BT is next Monday and i could POAS this weekend - i have not bought one - i don't want to - but yet again i want to be prepared whilst i am at work on Monday - i don't want to be negative but if i get bad news am i going to cry all over the place again???? I can't do it at this job, i work for a Chiropractor at the front desk and only one of me no one to cover me and a waiting room full of patients - YIKES!!! This is a bit of a dilema for me - pls girls what would you do if you were in my shoes?????
Hope you all have a nice day.

Oh Lissie, I really don't know what to advise you. I guess if you feel that it would make you better prepared for the results of the BT, then I would do one. But having done one myself all it has done is confused me more, and I am sure if everything turns up negative for me this time I will be more devastated because I have now given myself hope.

Best of luck

Hi SP,

I'm on the same dose as you 1500iu. I guess I'll now have to test again over next couple of days, although if I'm not pregnant AF will show up on Saturday without a doubt. I am like you, I am swinging constantly between I am and I am not pregnant.

Here's lots of luck your way

[Lissie]

Janie and SAlt,

Thanks for your replies - after much thought i know i would burst into tears which ever way it goes - i try to think i am strong but really i am not.
Secondly its a great idea for them to call DH but i would know me i would be constantly ringing him badgering him for an answer so not an option for me.
So i talked with the other girl that does the opposite shift to me and she will work for me on Monday and i will work for her Wednesday - so hopefully problem solved.
So i just hope that the pathology i called in Coffs Harbour (1.5hrs from me) will get results same day - i used to go thru Syd IVF in Coffs and always got results same day so i hope i haven't taken the day off for no reason - if i get the BT done here in town i will not know for at least 24hrs and that would just kill me - Coff opens at 7am so i guess i will be up bright an early Monday.
Hope you are having a good day girls, how are you all feeling???

Afternoon, hope everyone is doing well.
My thoughts are with those in the last bit of the wait - it's just the pits.
Had my BT this morning and just got the results: HCG levels are 944, so we have a winner!
Booked in for my first scan on the 28th of March.
Thanks to all the lovely women in here for your support over the last 2 and a bit weeks, you really do make it easier.
I hope all of you leave here in a week (or two) with your own BFP's.
I will lurk for a bit and see how you do.
Best of luck ladies!

ATT I am just so happy for you! I send you, your DH and of course your darling little one all the very best of luck for your pregnancy. I see that you did IUI. I was thinking about asking my FS about that if this cycle of OI does not work. Obviously it has worked for you, but any advice you could give me about it (approx cost, meds etc) would be appreciated.

Lissie, I think that you have come up with a great solution for BT day. I will certainly have everything crossed for you, so make sure you let us know how you go.

Salt I am with you with the frustration you are feeling. I just am so over the disappointment already... I know that I am relatively new to this whole thing in comparison to a lot of people on this forum, but I can't change how I feel. Please, please, please let us be pregnant already.

Well it looks like I may be the next one to know one way or the other. I am not booked in for a BT, but will know on Saturday. Lissie and Salt are you both having your BT on Monday?

Hey Guys

Looks like Im out of the TWW after only 5 days. Discovered this afternoon alot of bright red blood although Im not bleeding now Im still spotting a bit so I guess AF is definately on her way....... Rang clinic and Im to wait till tomorrow to stop meds if she hits with full force which Im definately expecting her to as I have cramps already... I m ok alot better than I thought just frustrated. There is nothing more we can do we are already doing everything humanly possible to start a family and at the end of the day its up to the big fella upstairs to grant us our little miracle.........

[Lissie]

Collo,

I hope its just nothing and not AF - i am its just implantation for you.
You are right you are doing everything humanly possible - be strong - i know only to well how hard this journey is. BE kind to yourself - thinking of you.

[Janie71]

Collo, I too will be for you. Lets hope it is just an implantation bleed.

I will be finding out by tomorrow how this cycle has gone... I'm trying to stay positive until that wicked witch decides to rear her ugly head! It is a long weekend here in VIC so either way it will be nice to relax and spend time with my DH. I have got AF symptoms... a bit of an achy back, slight cramping... nothing major, but then I don't feel major symptoms until the day she arrives.

I will make sure that I get on to let you all know one way or the other.

Hope everyone is feeling well today... Here is lots of to you all.

[Lissie]

[Janie71]

Hi girls... well unfortunately mine is not good news. AF arrived with avengence yesterday. So I am now officially out of the TWW for this cycle. I am okay... upset obviously, but I'll get back on the horse again and hopefully next cycle will be my turn.

I will check in to see how you all go. I have everything crossed for SP and Lissie's results tomorrow.

Thanks for all your support ladies it has meant the world to me and helped me cope so much better this time.
