Tish- I so hope you are right. I really need to stay positive. I was so sure I was cruising along well... Such a good idea to get the clinic to call your husband
Deni- Thanks for the hugs
You girls are angels..all of you
Bel hope all is OK, try to stay positive
Hi Ladies
Well i have beeb sitting here trying to catch up on everyones posts as I havent been around lately....waitng for FEt which I finally had TODAY!!! 1 embie on board and i feel fantastic just knowing theres some action after having to postone 2 months in a row.
So BT 25/2/08.....2 days before my birthday so hoping theres a nice birthday present cooking for us!
Im so sorry to hear allthe BFN's and so pleased to hear of the BFP's..
Hugs and kisses for everyone....I cant believe Im officially BACK in the TWW!!!!!
Carla- Welcome to the crazy farm!! Well I'm probably the crazy one in here. My BT is on Mon but have been freaking myself out this afternoon with pains I think maybe might be AF coming. I am praying not though. So what an amazing Valentines present you got today. A beautiful little embie on board!! Hope we can help you through your time here and you get a BFP at the end of it.
last night thought things had ended before they began, started feeling the cramps I get with AF, I was thinking noooooooo!!! it can't possibly end so soon I only had FET on Tuesday but luckily it was just a tummy bug at 4:45am(only people on IVF amd in the TWW can get excited that cramping is from Gastro rather than AF LOL!!!)
Bel, I had occasional cramping in early PG that was like AF stuff and it was just my body settling in so DON"T GIVE UP HOPE YET!!!
Let's hope for a Valentines day present for you!!!!and for everybody else in the TWW
Blizz- Oh yeah. I would appreciate a tummy bug now a lot more than the dreaded AF. Aren't we just crazy with our thoughts!!?? I'm not giving up hope. I just wanted this to be smooth and stress free (HA HA!!)
SO all.. no sign of AF. maybe it is a good pain.. who knows. Will keep you posted. BTW isn't this just the strangest thing to be sharing with people you don't know.. but I'd be lost without you all xox
BEL...oh hun GL for Monday but know doubt we will still be speaking before that..hang in there....God I had mine done at 2pm and I feel already stressed and it only been 6 HOURS!!!! GOD HELP MY DH!!!! AF came for me ont he 7th day last time so Im praying this time is it!! VEry nervous but I guess I am still lucky as we have 2 more on ice.......hope we dont need them again for awhile.
Yes we are all crazy, dont feel alone Bel....you may have met your match here with me.....IM VERY CRAZY RIGHT NOW!
I can honestly say yes too that i totally agree that i would rather have a tummy bug then AF........no one willever understand that about us unless they have gone through it...thats so funny!!!
I cant get my mind off it so my poor little golden retriever puppy is soooo tired cause I keep waking him up to play so Im not thinkingof it....poor thing I better let him sleep.........maybe he will sleep tonight so might go wake him again!! LOL,,,
take care ladies ....speak soon
Welcome Carla - Goodluck sweets..:pray: please dont go nuts yet...you have 11 days - give yourself a break...we are all going mental..give yourself a few days respite!!!
YAHOO!! No sign of AF tonight. Has made my Valentines Day!!
Lulu- Guess what. I got out!! Went to Thai. Was so gooood!! Are you proud of me?? You'd better be!!
Chat tomorrow all
Morning All,
Bel - excellent news. I am so impressed you went out last night.
Let's hope we have another AF free day everyone...
Have a good Friday...(my best day of the week..)
Good morning all :) How are we all travelling?
TGIF!!! Finally.
:D

Good morning everyone
Well it looks like im out and as much as id like to say see you in the next TWW (as it has been so great going through it with you girls) i hope i dont cause your all going to get BFP!!!!!
Thought id do a little experiment though for all the girls on pregnyl (or maybe its just my POAS obsession:lol:) I did the deed this morning and still got a really faint really difficult to see false +ive thats 6 days since the pregnyl injection, it was good having the one i did on wed to compare it with as it is much paler.
Well it really has been great thank you for making this journey soooo much easier, and ill be lurking lookin for all those BFP good luck :grouphug:
PS good luck today tish hope yo get really really really high betas
Awww scoob, I'm so sorry to hear that, I was soooo hoping it was late implantation :( *hugs* Take care of yourself.
Ta for GL :)
xx
Oh Scoob...I'm so sorry hunnie...I am soooooo nervous I may end up the same way. Your fellow POAS addict friend (moi) did her first test this morning...only 2 days after last Pregnyl. Faint positive - BUT I know its the drugs. I am doing the same as you to see if it gets more faint or strong. As heartening or disheartening as it maybe, it is easier for me doing this then waiting for the BT phonecall having no idea. This gives me sometime to absorb it I guess. Sorry again Scoob...I sooooo hope it's your turn next month...
Lots-a-luck Tish...thinking of you..
How's everyone cruising today?
Good morning all..
Scooby, so very sorry. Please keep your hopes up and maybe talk to your FS about the IVF option. Let me know if I can help you at all, in any small way..I get the whole Ectopic thing (wish I didn't , but I do..) Big hugs to you
Tish- woke up and thought of you..hope you are travelling well. Is DH taking the call for you? How you feeling?
Lulu- I knew I'd wake up to find out you did a POAS..Are you ok? I get the reasoning behind it though. That's why I've decided to join you on your POAS journey.. HOLD ON ..HOLD ON.. Don't get too excited. Mum hasn't bought them over yet-Oh sweet mum-she gets it!! And I've already done my first wee of the day. So now I really should wait til tomorrow shouldn't I?? I know what you are going to say but I'm only like 68 hours away from BT.. And is there any difference really between the Pregnyl and these FOUL pessaries?? May be too much info but I'm a bit sore down there and I KNOW it's the pessaries cause that's about all that can happen there these days!!! BUT YAY.. No AF. Thank goodness. Hope you are having a good Friday. I'm going to try to go for some lunch with my mum today..thanks for the little push!! Last night was great!!
Hugs to all
AND HURRY UP TISH!!
I'm travelling fine, if a little tired from being at the clinic at 7am for my BT. Day is progressing very slowly, but I've got another 3 interviews this afternoon so that will help the time to pass. DH is taking the call due to my meetings and I know he's lurking so he might post and put you all out of your misery LOL
You guys should buy sticks in bulk and share! I thought my 3 was excessive ;) I get what you mean with needing a head start to cope with the news though.
Bel which pessaries are you using? Crinone gel or the waxy ones? I was on Crinone gel and found them to be a bit gross and did make me sore. It's made of this stuff that's designed to stick "up there", so at least you're not leaking too much all day but they say (on the web at least) that lots of it can get stuck up there and come out all at once (apparently as large as golf balls!). Haven't had that experience yet, but happy that I finished my last one on Tuesday!!!!!
Not sure what's the difference between the injections and the gel sorry.
:)

Hey Tish- At the moment I'm using crinone in the morning and 2 wax pessaries at night. Was only using crinone to use up last of my supplies- was told to do this by my clinic as they said both have the same result. But tomorrow I start on 1 wax pessary in the morning and 2 at night. And trust me- the golf ball thing is true!!, although I haven't quite experienced that size and hope never to.
I'm so happy you are busy today. You seem to be coping really well. I hope to follow in your footsteps on Monday, but I bet I'm a bloody basketcase!!
Can't wait to hear your news
xo
Ahhh so the lovely Bel has finally risen from her late (again..) slumber...Geez - I hope you are PG because how are you ever going to get up for early sign-on again??? Seriously - no point testing till tomorow morning (or afternoon when the Princess awakes) because at this early stage...if there is any HCG in your system it will only be concentrated enough in first pee of the a.m.
Tish - ok you're gonna laugh now...I do buy them in bulk on the net (omg how embarrassing..:lol:). Seriously though...I have been going so long, can you imagine how much it would cost me to do like 5 or 6 everytime...I would be even more broke then I am now..
Waiting for the lurking DH - I am dying here...
oh - and the pessaries dont have the same effect on the POAS as the Pregnyl shots. The pessaries are just progesterone and the pregnyl is same wih HCG in it - this is what you produce when pregnant..
ok to answer your questions.......:
4 POAS positives yes
NOPE no pregnyl shots at all, was on 2 weeks of crinone twice daily.
Had crampy like pain but nothing bad.
Nope NO spotting.
Cheeky Lulu- Tell me about it!! I am LOVING my sleeping in. But last night was the earliest night I have had for ages. Got in to bed at midnight. So I'm not a total sloth!! Just a night owl at the moment. And you'll probably be happy to know that mum isn't coming over today now so no POAS for me today. Will have to be tomorrow now. At least I know that if I get a BFP it actually is a BFP. There has to be some pros in using these disgusting pessaries.. But in terms of treatment, do you think the injections are any better than the pessaries?? I honestly never heard of the injections til I started chatting to you.
And some more good news for you. The princess will be waking in the morning tomorrow because she is leaving the confines and going to her in laws house, for her father in laws birthday..the princess is making progress. So for this..I thank you
Hugs Bel
Thanks katones. Don't forget to sprinkle some baby dust in here! :confetti:
Scooby - so sorry hun :hug: ... has AF arrived fully yet? so UNFAIR...
I'm tending to agree with you and Lulu about the POAS 2-3 times to see what happens... last BT result wait was agonizing and then I felt like i'd been kicked in the guts when I finally got it (don't you just HATE the way you can tell from the nurses tone of voice even when they just greet you, straight away what the result is... but i guess the tone should suit the news...)
Bel and Lulu :SAAF: :SAAF: :SAAF:
Tish :pray: :goodluck: for your results. Hope they dont make you wait too much longer today. I missed the earlier thread.. what are Beta levels ?
:hello: everyone else! Today i've organised a few client home visits to keep me busy and away from the office. Just back for a bit of lunch !
I had a lovely night last night, fish & chips on the beach with friends and watched the sunset (a west coast perk !)
Oh hello Princess Bel - good morning oh sorry its good afternoon....
you better get on here and share the news tomorrow after POAS. Now - just incase its negative - its still early...ok???
how are you fairing delightful deni?? clever you for keeping busy. I am getting so wound up right now...it's not good..but as we al know unavoidable i guess.
ok so who's next..Ms B Monday and then..??
HA HA HA!! You crack me up Lulu!!! Some does DH actually says to me "Good consciousness" cause I've been out to it for so long. What can I say? I LOVE my sleep. I know it will all change when I have my little one but that's why I'm doing this now..well that sounds good anyway.
Deni- Oh the sunsets in Perth- how beautiful. Darwin is another amazing place to watch the sunset. Here on the east coast we just have to make do with the sun rises. But if you listen to the cheeky Lulu, you will work out that I tend to sleep late when I'm not away for work, so I do miss sunrises!! But one of my FAVOURITE things about flying though is watching the sun rise from the aircraft. It's so beautiful.. My first date with DH was fish and chips!!
So to all my patient TWWers, my Dh is out for the afternoon, so it looks like I'll just keep annoying you all...SORRY!
Lulu- you're next after me I'm pretty sure
hugs all
Mixed news again, I guess. My levels are up but not up as much as they would have liked. That's good because at least they're not down, but they're saying it's too close to call and yep, you guessed it, another blood test next Thursday. If the levels are high enough then they will do a scan.
As DH took the call I didn't get all the details, but that's the general gist of it.
Just as well you guys are so cheery and nice cos I'm gonna be stuck here for another week, unless there's some 4ww thread I get kicked into now? LOL
Yes universe, I get it! The patience lesson, again.
Gonna bail for a few hours and clear my head a bit! Hope you guys have a good, AF free arvo/night :) Soz no personals.
Tish
xx
Oh yeah, they were 45 on Monday and 150 today!
Oh Tish you poor thing. I hope you are having a good rest this arvo. We'll keep you company til Thursday. I'm so very happy for you though that you didn't receive bad news. That's the main thing at this stage. Stay strong. Sounds like your DH is a great, supportive person for you. Let us know if we can do ANYTHING for you. Rest well and look after yourself. AND we'd make sure you weren't kicked to another thread if there was one. You're here with us on this journey.
Hugs Bel
Tish - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! How frustrating for you poor love. Let's be realistic..it's gone up..right?? OK OK maybe this embie is just warming up. I guess we have to sweat it out another week. We will all be here with you hun. I feel your frustration poor thing.
Put your feeties up and be good to yourself over the weekend - take it easy..
Tish: hopefully good things come tothose who wait but man does it suck waiting, really hope you get good news soon :hug:
Deni: it was an awesome night in Perth we went ot the marcia hines concert at joondalup and it was really lovely, must admit loving the cool weather at the moment. Yes its pretty much AF i always get some spotting to start with but its getting there :( im actually doing better than i thought i would be and its weird because i didnt mention the IVF thing to DH and last night he said he thinks we need to look into it so i guess thats good. thinkin ill do one more IUI and prepare then for IVF.
Lulu: I agree that phone call is just way to painful, we have to ring for results at my clinic and they always put you on hold, and i end up a basket case by the time they get to me. The worse thing was when i had my ep, the nurse came on the phone before she looked at my chart and said oh congratulations, then found she had to break that bad news about my betas falling, not a good call i felt more sorry for her than i did myself, so yes heads up is a good idea.
Bel: thanks sooo much my luv, the worrying about another ep really did my head in this month so i dont think ill be doing too many more IUI's
Sorry girls can i ask one more question:
When you pay for IVF is that just one cycle or do you pay for retrivel and then another amount when you do FET im really confused????
Scooby- My initial cycle costs included the pick up and then the transfer of the fresh embryo a couple of days later.
Then if you need to use any of the embryos they froze from the initial cycle,the next cycle using a frozen embryo is another new fee but less than the original cycle that involved the pick up
Does that confuse you even more or help you?? Hope it helps.
Hope you are doing ok. Feeling for you today.. Enjoy your weekend though. Have a break from all this stress and do something fun
Hugs Bel
That was a big help thanks Bel. Im really doing ok thanks for asking, its so ridiculous but there is somekind of relief knowing either way, IYKWIM. Hope your going ok, i wont keep butting in here but know im lurking and thinking of you all. BFP all round.
You're not butting in. Love chatting to you. I understand the relief thing. I'll feel the same on Mon.
Will chat to you soon
:hug: scooby sounds good that you're already thinking ahead to your next try. go girl !!
For me, the frustrating thing about being on HCG every 3 days and pessaries daily, is that my body doesn't give me any pre-AF signs like spotting before BT, even if I'm BFN... totally tricks my body and then my mind gets a bit carried away .... grrr. Last IUI AF only came after I stopped the pessaries when told of BFN... wish I had a bit of warning but in some ways dont want it either IYKWIM ?
Bel - ooh so close to bT time. HOpe the weekend flies by.
Tish - how excruitiating - almost a whole more week to wait! Hope your levels blast those nurses out of the water next Thursday!
Have a great weekend girls. Positive vibes to all! :grouphug:
Deni- I wish I could go to bed tonight and wake up on Monday.. Thanks for your thoughts. For me I kind of like the no signs thing. Last cycle I got all the way to the day before BT and AF came. I was so sure I was pg as it was my first cycle and a friend I had referred to my FS had fallen pregnant on her 1st cycle. So I just assumed I would. I went into this so positive at the start that I was just floored when AF came. Now I'm not so sure. Just really scared..
You have a great weekend too
xx
Girls hope your weekends pass calmly and quickly for you so you can get closer to your BFP'S
Thanks Blizz. And the same to you..
Is anyone doing anything fabulous??
And POAS's don't count!! although I will be doing one myself- hopefully the result is fabulous..
I'm way to early for POAS worst luck!!! so I'm planning a quiet weekend at home to relax and maybe (if I can muster enthusiasm)do some light house cleaning, doesn't sound like lots of fun but I think it will suit me just fine
OMG I was dry retching this morning LOL I am only 7 post transfer so that would be about day 9 DPO, that is way too early I think my body is enjoying playing all these tricks on me.
The dreaded POAS is calling my name but trying to at least hang out till Wednesday BT due Friday
Bec
Bec - am loving the dry retching and sore BB...who knows indeed...
Am feeling really deflated this morning. I did another POAS and I think the line is a little more faint. I wont call it till tomorrow...but now feeling so sad. I really thought this time might be it. Yeah yeah I am going to wait...but I guess I kinda know..
Bel - I sooooooooo hope yours is gonna be better then mine...
