LTTTC Two Week Wait - Feb 2008

[NAT025]

Hi Bel
Yeah I am not getting my hopes up at all as I think it might be just the drugs wearing off. Are you based in Perth as I am looking for a good accupunturist as I have been to one but wasn't very impressed. The temptation of not POAS is terrible!! Good Luck

[Bel]

Hey Nat,
Sorry I'm not in Perth. But have you asked your IVF clinic if they recommend someone. The guy I see specialises in fertility issues and was recomended to me by the nurses at the clinic. Also I think there is like an association of acupuncturists that you could call and maybe ask if they know someone in your area who specialises in our field of need!! And don't worry. I also was madly doing POAS's when I was going through the same thing.
See if you can get anywhere with the acupuncture though. It's so worth it.
I found it so crazy that every month I was begging AF not to come and basically would have sold my soul to the devil to have no AF and then this cycle I was begging her to show her ugly head so I could get started again!! CRAZY!!!
Take care Bel

hope all goes well for all on the dreaded 2WW.... it is such a LONG wait....

we have now done POAS and ALL have come up ++++
fingers crossed for tomorrow morning for my blood test.

Hi girls,
Thanks for the welcome and best wishes… First day back at work today after ET and it’s so hard to concentrate! What am I doing at work when the nurse gave me a medical certificate covering today as well !! (I thought that was very generous of her, since my job is very sedentary !!!) – but I felt a bit guilty about taking another day off – and just leads to more messages/emails in my intray, right??

Katones - major major goodluck vibes for your BT tomorrow - hope all those sticks were foretelling fantastic news !!

Sorry just a brief visit but be back later!

[Bel]

Katones- Sounds all positive to me! I so so so wish I had my BT tomorrow. I'm feeling really good this time round and just want to know!! Can't wait to turn on my computer tomorrow and see a BFP from you. All the very best for tomorrow,
Bel

[MsPink]

ooooh Katones - sounds good to me... congrats!!

[NAT025]

Sounds good Katones!! Good Luck for tomorrow

Bl**dy H*ll ive been so good up til now and i knew this would happen, having a few symptoms BB's definately bigger and not agonisingly sore but definately tender sorry TMI and had a huge wave of nausea this avo, Hubby says he thinks it a BFP this month, but i sooooooo want to test and i dont know if the pregynl will be gone i only had my last shot on sat. I just read my pharmacology text book (studying health science) and it said pregynl should be out of you system within 24 hrs but everything ive read on the internet contridicts that
Katones BFP for tomorrow it sounding so good girl
Deni: Welcome good luck in the TWW
Nat if you look up the acupuncture asscossiation they will give you registered practioners in Perth, try ACNM if you want student prices and they are over seen by some really great proffesionals i studied there for awhile and they can be really good.
Bel Dont give in to the evil Poas (listen whos talkin)
MM hows it going give me some Dr lulu advise (you might get a permanant job on here )
Hope i havent missed anyone it went from being really quiet to being totally mad on here lets hope they are all BFP yeeeehaaaaa. the more the merrier i say.

Hi ladies,
mind if I join in,
officially in the limbo of the TWW after FET this morning at 9:30, bit tired after 8hrs driving there and back so I will pop back in tomorrow night and introduce myself properly, need sleep need to go back to work tomorrow.

[waiting1]

HI All
Well I am back for my third FET - had it today. Found out I lost an embryo on the way in jan that no one ever bothered to tell me about.
This embbie was the worst they have been only split to 6 cells - but stranger things have happened.
Not feeling too crazily optomistic after the past 3 failures....
Hope all is well - another 2 ww.

[Bel]

Evening Ladies,
How was everyone's day? Mine was agonising!! I just want to POAS BIG TIME!! But I won't (not yey anyway!!) I promised my best friend I wouldn't- Oh but the agony!!!
Lulu- Hope you had an easy day. Not too much daydreaming about POAS!! Me- neverending thoughts of it!
Dearerst Scooby- We share the same agony at the moment! Let me know if you give in. I know I've asked you before and I'm useless but what date is your BT scheduled for? I reckon Lulu will know if the pregnyl will give you a false BFP. She is a legend at all that stuff!! Hope you get through tonight ok.
Blizz and waiting1- Welcome to the TWW. Gosh I hope it is easy for you. Don't give in to the POAS urge! HA she says as she's agonising herself over whether to pee or not!!
Blizz- Hope you have a good sleep tonight and are well rested after your stressful sounding day. Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow.
Waiting1- Stay positive. This little 6 cell embie might have been sitting there patiently waiting its turn. I can imagine your frustration at not being told you lost an embie. I lost 3 this cycle to just to get my 1 beautiful 1. I know you have been here before but hope I can help make your time easier.

Sweet dreams all, will annoy you all tomorrow with my silly questions

[MsPink]

Scooby - dont do it...not yet. I had the horrible agony of getting false positives after Pregnyl - learn from my mistakes...it's not pleasant. If you had Pregnyl Saturday then I wouldnt test till earliest Thurs or Friday. I still was showing faint positives 4 and 5 days later...it's pretty hard to handle. Now I know what to expect...and if the line gets darker - its great...sadly mine kept fading...

Blizz - goodluck sweets.

Waiting - 6 cells is fine..dont stress. you still have a real fighting chance. Goodluck.

Katones - we are waitinggggggggggggggggg....

Nat - goodluck for the BT tomorrow honey.

Tish - how are you doing?

Ms Bel - well aren't you the silly one for promising your BF. OMG that is one promise I couldnt make...My name is Lulu and I am a POAS addict...

Me - well today is day 4 after ET. My last pregnyl tonight - YAY. Feeling nada. Keep running to the toilet hoping to find a little transplantation spotting, but alas so far nothing. I guess because I had it the once doesnt mean I'll have it again.
I soooooooooo want this to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scooby]

Sorry MM i gave into the POAS early this morning, it is a positive but im keeping my head screwed on about it and really not excited as i know the concequences, my reasoning is that i will test again friday and if its fainter ill know it the pregnyl if its stronger i will know its not. AF is due friday as well and BT is sat so we will see, but dont worry im not celebrating havent even told DH.
I dont think im going to truly get excited till i get the betas done im so fearful of another ectopic (although my left tube was removed, some fibroids were taken off my right tube, so im worried there might be scarring), ive decided not tell anyone if i do get a bfp (apart from DH) until 12 weeks, i couldnt stand all the silly comments last time and to be honest i think my mum was more upset than i was so i dont want to put her through all that again.
Well hopefully everyone is doing great today. I have given my self the project of booking a holiday, such a great distraction Catch you all later
Oh... Katones cant wait to hear your good news !!!!!!!!!!!

[onemore]

Hi ladies, I`ve been lurking for a while and I`m not sure if I should be here as I`m not assisted conception. I had a reversal in June 06 and fell pg in Sep 07 and saddly lost my little angel in Nov.
My question is If my cycle is 33 days and I ovulate on day 14 the TTW does`nt apply to me does it ?
I poas on 16 dpo and got a BFN and now I`m starting to go crazy.. you ladies seem to know what your talking about so any advice would be appreciated.

[Bel]

Lulu- My name is Bel and I'm a procrastinator- shall I POAS or shall I not POAS!!!! I know- what a ridiculous promise! Yay for the last pregnyl. You must be over it big time. This is driving me crazy. Just wish I could have a whole hour of not thinking about this. How do I get through another 5 days?? I'll just keep annoying you!!. Have a great day...
Scooby- Oh you gave in... I hope you are ok. I am agonising about whether to POAS or not. I just could not deal with either outcome. I think to POAS again on Fri is a good idea. I understand the whole not telling people thing. When I had my ectopic I was just so sick of explaining it to people and yeah my mum was so upset for me too. When are you off on holiday?? Any ideas where to?? HOW EXCITING!! I wish I had a project at the moment. Try not to think about the POAS result- so hard for me to say I know. Have a good day.
Katones- I am busting to hear your news. Ok I know there are other people you have to tell first but this will help me so much.... Fingers crossed

I'll post again later. I hope everyone else is doing well and not going stir crazy!!!
Bel

[scooby]

Hey One more so sorry about your lost angel i Guess yours is more like a 3 week wait im really not sure when you would get a result, in saying that as soon as the embryo implants in the endometrium it starts producing HCG which is what HPT pick up implantation is usually 6-10 days from ovulation so it wouldnt really matter how long the luteal phase actually is. I would guess then by 16 days you should be showing some HCG in there ( sorry probably not what you want to hear) but i am NO doctor, can you get blood testing done ?
Hey Bel: Sorry your going nuts, but i think that part of the club in here, dont you love how you analyse every little twinge in your body (or is that just me????) Going to the gold coast, we normally go skiing in NZ in august, but as i figure im going to be pregnant i decided we better plan something else. We can only live in hope right.

[MsPink]

Onemore - sorry I am so bad with dates. Because I have IVF - i dont have to think. They tell me what to do, when to do it and when AF is due - makes me feel so blonde sometimes. So sorry about your m/c..

Scoob - you make me laugh...infact I was PML...you are too funny. I soooooo hope its a real BFN...but now it's going to go round and round in your mind. I so wanted to save you from this. Went for dinner last night (OMG was sooooooo delish) and got home too late to jump online...hence u POAS today. I will never go out late again....

Bel - are you a Libran like moi??? Look - you make the promise...will you really break it without permission??? or....what she doesnt know wont hurt her.. and I sooooo understand about not telling people. Nobody except my sibblings and known donor know what I am doing...I cant do the gossip and questions..

So all my little TWW sufferers...I hope today is good to you..

[onemore]

Scooby, thanks for the reply.
Yea thats what I thought but you know... wishful thinking.
i just wish AF would come so I can deal with it. Its hard cause I want her to come so I will know whats going on but also I dont because its just another reminder of what could have been had everything gone well.
All the best with you
