Cuddlepie - I am sorry it hasnt worked out this cycle. Be kind to yourself, take some time out to regroup with a lovely bottle of wine and your favourite choccie. Thinking of you..
CP, I am so sorry for you hunny, this is just so not fair. I feel your pain. You really do deserve this, I wish there was something we could all do to make it happen. Group vibes? I hope the removal of the fibroid makes all the difference and you are back in here sooner rather than later.
Congratulations to all the other ladies who have received their BFP this month, after the drought in Jan, we really needed it. Make sure you leave some sticky positive vibes in here for the rest of us joining our TWW shortly. Best wishes for a H&H 8 months and will be watching as you progress in the PALTTTC thread. Hope to join you there one day soon. Hugs to all. xx
Cuddlepie So sorry it didn't work out for you take some time out for yourself the get back into it when you are ready just know we are all supporting you.
KellyD Congrates on getting the official word hope you have a H&H 9 months look forward to seeing you in the PALTTTC thread soon hopefully
Well I have just spent 15 minutes writing my story and introducing myself and wouldnt ya know it, I somehow lost it all...
So I will start again. I am so happy to have found you all, it has been a really comfort to me over the last few days. I am going stir-crazy. I started reading this thread from when it was the Dec 2ww and I feel like I know you all. I am so happy for everyone with a BFP and have been nearly in tears for the BFN's. I think I will be in that group soon...
About me: This is my first IVF cycle. I have had 3 ruptured ectopic pg's and had lost hope of ever having anymore babies. I have 2 boys in their late teens from my first marriage and I am so grateful for them but my DH is really desperate for a bub that he has raised from scratch. He loves the boys but he didnt experience them as babies or toddlers, I totally understand where he is coming from. Anyways, he convinced me that IVF is nothing like the hideous experience of the ruptured ectopic's so we saved up and here we are.
I had a fresh ET on the 11th of feb (blasto) so I am nearly a week into my 2ww. I am seriously freakin LOSING IT. My AF is due today (I think but who knows at this point, my cycles are so messed up) and no sign of it so far but I think that is just the dreaded Crinone doing its thing.
I have had some twinges and cramping since the ET but yesterday it reached a peak. I am constantly aware of my lower torso. Its so weird though because it is not like my usual AF cramps. These are spread right across my abdomen and are sort of a continuous squeezing ache where as my normal AF cramps are sharp, stabbing pains that come from which ever ovary is releasing an egg. A couple of nights ago I woke up as I felt like a finger was poking into me from the inside. I think I must have just been dreaming though.
The pain I have now feels more like the pain from my ectopics which is why I am triggering so badly I think. I dont have any of my other AF symptoms. My skin is clear, I'm not craving sweet-then-salty, I'm not shrieking like a fish-wife at DH (much) its just the cramping and the head-ache. I have sore bb's, but again, crinone. I know, i know - ignore the symptom's...
I feel like its impossible to get pg on the first cycle. I could not be that lucky.
I have a question, my doc (who I call The Absent Minded Proffessor) did not schedule me a bt. He told me to take a test (didnt specify what kind) on sunday the 22nd and I have an appt with him for the 23rd. He said if the witch makes an appearence between now and then to call him. As my AF is due today, would anything show up on a home test in 5 days? I am sceptical...
I am resisting the urge to go to the chemist and start an insane regime of testing. I am supposed to go and pick up some Elevit - HOW THE HECK WILL I STOP MYSELF???
So thats me. Here with you guys, 2ww-ing, on pins and needles.
Hugs to everyone.
Sammie.

: Because i am an idiot...
Welcome SammieJam to BB : I presume your fs would have meant a poas if he hasn't given you a BT form. If you have a positive poas, I presume he will order a BT on Monday.
I am sure the TWW is different time wise when you have a blastie transfered, I read it on BB, I would be no help telling you where though, as I cant never find a thread i want for myself
One of our Bb girls just had a + on her first IVF...So it is definatly possible - WTG Diamond
Best of luck, hoping you get the positive result you deserve xx
Hi Sammie and welcome So sorry you have had a hard time in the past to get here.
I wish you all the best for your TWW. If you had a blastie transferred on the 9th, you would be around 13dpo/14dpo today, there are tones of cases where a pee on a stick (POAS) will show as positive by now. I am a serial POASer, so I say go for it. Assuming your FS will order a BT once you see him, but I would be calling sooner and asking for the form to get the BT done if you get a +POAS. I just wouldn't be able to help myself.
I hope you have success with your first, there are plenty that are that lucky. All the best.xx
CP - I am so sorry sweetie. I know that even though we are sometimes convinced it's not going to happen this cycle - the official result is still hard to take.
Am thinking of you..take care lovely girl..
OMG, i am seriously an IDIOT right now. I cant seem to remember things and I am easily confused. I think its the stress... anyways, my ET was NOT the 9th, it was the 11th of feb. It was supposed to be the 9th but it got delayed... dear lord. I cant believe I forgot an such an important date...
So yeah, I am thinking it is to early to poas. Apparently HCG only starts to be secreted 12-14 days after conception (which was epu day for me) Tomorrow will be 12 days from conception, so even if it starts PUMPING out the HCG tomorrow, it wouldnt be readable for a few days after that. Humph. G-damn this waiting game. I no like.
Now as for my continual cramping, WTH. I am taking it as no sign at all. Just something to completely freak me out. Its working...
Cuddlepie - I am so sorry. I know words arent worth a crap but for what its worth, my heart is breaking for you. Hugs sweetie.
Cuddlepie, I am truely sorry for you. Take your time and greive. It must be hard with so many BFP going on in here.
Hi Sammie and welcome. I had a frozen blastie transferred on the 11th too! A natural cycle for me so no crinone etc. I am having my bloods done on friday so I will probably POAS then too as the results wont be in till the following afternoon. So we are cycle twinnies
Hi Sue, we are very close in cycle but as mine are blasties I am a few days ahead of you. I wlll be here for yuo though!!!!
Congratulations KEllyD. even though you knew already the official result is exciting!!!! hope everything goes smooth and easy for the next 9ish months.
Hoping everyone else waiting is travelling ok. Keep sane people. (must take own advice)
So great to find out that I am not alone with my lunatic compulsions to google and monitor every damn twinge and feeling.
Sazz - we are indeed twinnies! I have found a great site that let me calculate all our dates, implantation etc. I will pm it to you. I know that we cant post links. If anyone else wants it, please pm me.
I am so nervous I cant eat. Bah.
ETA- up how do I send a pm? I cant find the 'send a pm' button...

So I got my dates mixed up. Apparently my AF is due this saturday the 21/02. So I can stop rejoicing about the no-show of the witch. On the positive side, all this weird cramping is right on target for implantation cramping.
Oh Cuddlepie I have just logged on to find your sad news - I truly feel for you right now and sending lots of
Of course we all hope that everyone achieves their BFP in here but I had said a special little prayer for you!!! Some peoples journeys just seem so unfair.
You are so strong and you will bounce back again for the next cycle. I am about to have transfer #9 on Friday and I am so positive it will work this time just as I am sure that your next cycle will be the one!
Hey everyone,
well while life happens and there is so much love and hope in here at the moment, we know more than ever, death happens too and I've been in Melb consoling my mum who lost her partner on Thursday. It was so unfair, they planned their move for years and had been there only one week in a gorgeous new unit. Anyway..I'm rambling. Despite my trip down, I've been sticking to my awkward ivf prep routine and I'm all set to go for my transfer tomorrow.
I decided to put my transfer tomorrow over the funeral on thursday (not an easy decision) but I want it to be a fresh start and it eats me up to not be there, but I have lots of great family to take over for the hard bit.
Actually I say I'm all set for the transfer but the clinic rang and told DH that they had to thaw 4 of our 5 embies./ Idon't know if they thawed 4 to get 2 or only 1 so I won't know until I get there. So just one left if this doesnt work. Bugger, I thought we had a bit more time to play with before the full epu cycle.
Goodluck to the birthday girl testers Have a fantastic birthday!
I hope the removal of the fibroid makes all the difference and you are back in here sooner rather than later.
Congrates on getting the official word hope you have a H&H 9 months look forward to seeing you in the PALTTTC thread soon hopefully
So sorry you have had a hard time in the past to get here.
