Kelly - big congratulations on the big result..well done.. :clap::dance::clap::dance::clap:
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.
Hi all
Just dropping in quickly
CP - So sorry for you:hug: Hang in there
KellyD - big fat congrats:dance:
Sammie - hi and all the best. Hope you get a BFP. Sorry to hear about all your past problems.
:hello: to everyone else and all the very best!
CP - here if you need a chat x
Hey gang,
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)
Thanks for all the lovely welcomes girls!
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...
Hi (again) girls,
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. :pray:
:hello: just saying a big hi to you all and ihope all of you who are chasing your bfp GET THEM
to all of you who have CONGRATS:clap: to you all well done .
good luk girls
Oh Cuddlepie I have just logged on to find your sad news - I truly feel for you right now and sending lots of :hug:
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:birthday2: Have a fantastic birthday!
Oh Murph, I am so sorry hun. Wishing you all the best for your ET this week :hug:
I think I will jump in here this month. No IVF/ED cycle for us but plenty of EWCM and BDing to put me in the running I reckon ;)
Off to AP and to get new herbs for the second half of my cycle. I am getting warming herbs as apparently I need to raise my body temp as those of us with endo tend to have lower body temps.
Heres hoping!
Murph : Hugs for your mum, that is really sad. I hope your transfer this week goes well
Dusty: You and I both babe on the Natural TWW, I am waiting and praying we can have a natural little sticky miracle
Best of luck to everyone
:stork-boy::stork-girl:
This morning I was sitting on the crawling bus in the rain, thinking, 'the universe has forgotten me, I will never get there'....but when I log on and saw so many posts from your guys and your kind words, I know its not true. Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU, it really helped at this time that I know there are so many of you who do care and are there for support when I need it.
I am currently having fun with AF but I think once its gone I will feel better. I have booked an appt with FS next Tuesday to discuss the fibriods issue and the protocal for next cycle. So we will see.
I hope a string of BFP will continue in this thread, for those who are testing, best of luck, I will be lurking for sure.
For those who is not successful for this cycle, lets lean on each other to get what we dream of eventually, I am sure I will see you around.
Mollygirl, you are an amazing woman and I wish all the very best for you upcoming TR and hope this is the one!
Murph, sorry to hear about your mum, hope the ET will go smoothly this week.
Dusty, go for a natural cycle, all sounds very promising, everything is crossed for you hunny!
Cuddlepie, I am so sorry...it's so unfair... I'm glad to hear that all of our words do help, we really do want to help you feel a little better. Some people's journeys are just so hard, I don't know what to say... I've only just logged on to read your sad news. I hope your dream comes true soon. Be kind to yourself!
KellyD - congratulations!!!!!!!!! :clap::clap::clap: Yay!!!! So happy for you, that's great news. Enjoy the next 9 months!
Murph, good luck with the transfer, I hope all goes well and there's another BFP here!
Good luck to everyone else, I hope there's BFP's all round! :)
Murph - I am so sorry. How heartbreaking for your mamma and the family...
AFM - well I am freaking out. Got some weird horrible clumpy spotting. Its not a flow per say, and its brownish red. I called my FS and the nurse told me that implantation bleeding is rare and its most likely the beginning of my AF. I started crying and now I cant calm down. I keep checking every 5 minutes to see if there is anymore of it but so far nothing.
What the nurse told me is contrary to everything i have read, does anyone think she was trying to prepare me for the worst?
I am still a bit crampy but its not as bad as it was yesterday or the day before.
*deep sigh* I'm scared.
Hi girls,
thanks again for you thoughts and words.
Dusty, I'm so sorry that you are back in here again. You must have had a lot to deal with and you sound like you have come through the worst ready with a new attitude to start again. Goodluck!
My transfer went well yesterday. I arrived to find that I had two wonderfully healthy embryos and the specialist and embryologist were really happy. No fragmentation and a 10 cell and 12 cell still growing (not really sure what that all means but by their smiles, I'd say it's a good thing).
My test date is 2nd March.
Goodluck to everyone. BTW Sammiejam, we are all different, and no two bodies alike. Just try and ride it out honey and dont panic. be prepared that it's not your month if you feel like af coming and then anything different is a bonus.
Murph : Sticky vibes for your two embies, I hope they are snuggling in
Samm: If you are using Crinone, it could be that coming out in clumps
Hi to everyone else
Cuddlepie
Congrats to everyone that has had a BFP this month.....:clap:
and fingers crossed for all of those who are still waiting for news on there possible BFP's!!.:pray:
Murph. goodluck with yesterdays transfer. i am not sure about the cell's either? my last 2 embies were 6 and 8 cells, but they were only day 2 embies? i don;t ask many questions and just seem to leave it up to the gods. but that isn;t working so next time i will ask everything before hand!! are your's blasto's?
sammiejam. i am not too sure about impantaion bleeding. i never had it with my daughter, and don't have any friends thathave had it either. i thought i was having it with my last FET, but it was AF. it was a very light AF and the nurses said it could be an incomplete AF and so i had to do a BT just incase. it was AF.:wall:
AFM..i just awnted to drop in and say hi..i am cd22 of a natural cycle. i have been seeing a naturapath and am on a few natural medications. will be trying naturally until july before using my last two embies. i am taking VITEX 3ml every morning and have had very tender breasts. i think it must be from that?
take care everyone and BABY DUST on us all!!:grouphug:
:bluedust:
Hi Gals,
Murph- that is WONDERFUL! Sounds like your little frosty babies just started growing like mad once the scientist warmed them up! Hopefully they are snuggling into their warm, comfy mama as we speak :pray:
Your kind words of wisdom were so just what i needed this morning girls. I have woken up to a "gush". Must be AF that damn B with an itch! I am doing ok.
So with my bleeding and the crushing fear of "failure" I was feeling - I got to thinking. I realised how hard I have been trying to control the outcome of this entire IVF thing. I came to understand that because I was in control the first stage of the cycle (the meds, appointments etc) that I could also control the second stage. I am a very organised person. I dont like suprises. Handing over the reigns has never been my forte.
But I know that Mother Nature take over once the embabies go in as she is going to make the decisions from here on, whether I like it or not. She knows better than I do and I have to trust that whatever she decides - is the best outcome anyway.
I think this is true for alot of things in my life. I try to hard to control the final result and I get upset when I cant. Something for me to work on I guess...
Oh well, enough rambling from me.
Wishing strength and Baby Dust for everyone!
Sammie.
sorry no time to even read personals, i miss you all so much but just been so busy with scholl for me and work and life etc.
anyway looks like we're on track for march FET!!!!
going 4 scan on monday
got everything crossed
hope for a BFP so badly. our last frosty
good luck to all xxxx
Hi everyone.... :bluedust::pink-babydust: for all.
Murph, firstly I am so sorry about your Mum's partner! Secondly, your embies sound FANTASTIC! 10 and 12 cells are goood. So hoping they are snuggling in tight right now.
Sammiejam, hang in there hunni. You sound exactly how I was with my first 4lots of IVF. Total fear of that loss of control. Sounds like you have had a real breakthrough with your thinking today and that is great. Relaxed positive thinking from now on. (must listen to my own advice!)
Hi to everyone BD like mad for their natural cycles this month, there are a few now.
JBM, March is so close, your turn soon.
AFM, I have absolutely no patience or self control and I POAS again today. I just about had to have a magnifying glass to see it but there was definately a second line!!!!! I have been having the dull cramping for over a week now so I had my suspicions (hence the constant POAS) and am praying like mad that it is strong enough to come up on my blood test tomorrow. I wont get the blood results till Sat arvo (while I am at tennis) but I will POAS tomorrow and see if it is any stronger. Hoping like mad that it is a stayer!:pray:
Good luck everyone!
Thanks so much Sazz, I am trying really REALLY hard to just accept that things are what they are. Even though I did everything "right" and it all went smoothly and according to plan - it just didnt bloody work. No one's fault, nothing to be done, I just have to move forward. (and try to stay positive)
I am so happy for you. I have everything crossed and am sending sticky, happy, snuggling-in vibes. It really is a numbers game and the odds are now stacked in your favour. I will be eagerly awaiting your update tomorrow!
JBM- Got everything crossed for your BFP too. I am almost in knots with all my extreamities and limbs being so crossed!
AFM- another big gush this morning and dark red bleeding intermittantly. Totally different to my normal AF but I know thats what it is. Going to get a BT tomorrow but the results will not be a suprise :(
Hugs to everyone
Sammie
Sammiejam, I am sooo sorry to hear AF is here. I was hoping it was just a funny implantation bleed or something but it sounds like you know what it really is. :( Still wait for the official results. Miracles have happened. You are right, there really is no telling who's turn it is and it just seems so bloody unfair sometimes! Special hugs for you :hug:
I'M BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!
lets hope its for the last time and that the incredible run and BFP's can rub off on me.
ET was done this morning and I now have 2 beautiful embies on board and they are off finding somewhere nice to snuggle in.
Hope this TWW is bearable although its really only a 10 day wait as my BT is March 2.
:pray::pray::pray::pray:
Me again!
POAS is evil! I did it again today as I had one stick left and wanted to see if I could get a stronger line. THis time it was definately a -ve :( *sigh* now I have to wait for the bloods, either the test results tomorrow or AF, which I imagine will be nasty after having had a +ve..... aaaarrrggh give me strength.
Thinking of you today SJ. Do you get your test results today or tomorrow?
Are we waiting on anyone elses test this weekend?
:bluedust::pink-babydust: for all!!!
hugs, Sazz
Ok, so my worst nightmare could be coming true. I have just returned from FS and it looks like I am having yet ANOTHER ectopic pregnancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is after I have had 3 ruptures and my tubes are GONE! How you may ask? (I did, I screamed it) Apparently the last surgeon may have left a teeny stump of fillopian tube right next to my uterus and my wee embybaby has somehow travelled in there and implanted. Its not 100% sure yet but its looking like it.
I am devistated, horrified, angry, TERRIFIED and a how host of other emotions...
I truely cant believe this could happen again. I am in shock...
I will have the results of the tests this afternoon and will keep you all posted.
Sazz- sweety, those poas are the devil's playthings. Ignore it and tell yourself PUPO.
Hugs everyone.
Sammie
Sammie, that is horrible news hun!
Big hugs!
S X
Thank god - not ectopic.
As expected, BFN.
Oh well, will start again in a month. Thanks everyone for your kind words and support.
Hugs
Sammie
Ok brain has been all over the place for the last couple of days so im sorry if i miss anyone!
Dusty! my true Mrs T, wishing you much success with your natural TWW, EWCM is sounding great without me being too ooooOOOooooooO TMI! LOL, i too am loving the ap at the moment! GL hun x
WLAB - Praying for you too with a natural sticky one! I have know a few ladies on here so never say never! fingers crossed for you hun.
CP - once again hun sorry to read your news, sending you my support with your FS appointment. hoping to see you back here when ready.
Sammie - sorry your feeling like this, the emotions of a women on IVF no one will ever know until they are there. here if you need to vent.
Murph - woohoo on TF everything sounding so positive for you 2nd march cant come soon enough - will you cave and POAS?
Sazz - so lovely to see you in here again (in a funny kinda way) hoping today's POAS is wrong and that your fluid intact has something to do with that result. GL with your BT
Molly - TWW buddie! Congrats on TF. GL with BT on 2nd you are sharing dates with Murph!
AFM! Today i was feeling so negative about everything to do with this tf and have been in the coming weeks, FS had planned to thaw my day 2 and grow to day 3 as i have one more day 3 and was going to put them in together, but sadly the day 2 did not survive, not that i thought it would! I have never had any sucess with this batch and was hoping that my FS would grow the day 3 to blastie as i still have 8 blasties in the cold store, but no. So only one embie for me this cycle, but like i said to the nurse, i will be so happy if just one takes! BT is not till the 5th as it is a day 3 although the FS said it was starting to change into a blastie while in the lab.
came home to get some rest this afternoon and have not stopped if it wasnt the phone ringing it was the door bell! shhesh! still i would be loking forward to my layin tomorrow but i have to do my pessarie!
Oh and after usingthe out of date pessaries my P4 BT came back fine! then tonight i wnt and used an out of date clexane injection!!! what am i doing?
Still ending the day with a wonderful surprise and positive note! I got a RAK!!!still in shock! but feeling very loved at the moment which is a lovely feeling to have. So a big thank you! work will be busy next week, what will be will be!
Sammie, thank goodness you are ok woman!!!! No wonder you were freaking you poor thing. So sorry to hear the official results but very relieved to hear it wasnt an ectopic! Wonder why the funny bleeding then? Just the drugs I s'pose. Hugs lovely. Take care of yourself in the next few days.
Loula, Good luck with your TWW, Sending you lots of lovely sticky, snuggly thoughts. WTG embie on your fantastic growing in the lab before transfer!!! You got a good one there Loula :) It is nice, kind of, if you KWIM, to find names I know here. Although not nice for you me thinks.
Mollygirl, good luck with your 10day wait. It does still feel like TWW though doesnt it even though it is slightly shorter? Hope your bubs are hanging on tight!!! Sending sticky vibes your way.
Me: I still feel the same. Very nauseas and hot flushes all arvo and horrible cramping STILL. I really dont know what to think... only about 18hours of torment left.
Hope everyone has a good weekend, if at all possible!
SJ I am sorry hun. But I am glad that it isn't eptopic. What a ride for you sweetie :hug:
Sazz, ignore those evil POAS. I had 3 BFNs the three days leading up to my BT (didn't bother on BT day) and I was UTD on BT. Your signs look good and strong. Fingers crossed you are out of here hun!
Loula, yippppeee!!! You made it here. How fabulous. Go your embie go!
Mollygirl, welcome back hun. Time to move you out of here too. Snuggle in your little ones for the big count.
Kitty and WLAB hope you are going well my natural cycle buds.
Murph, how you going hun?
Hello to everyone I may have missed.
No news here, but trucking along very happily. Had a funny thing happen yesterday morning though. Got up, went to the loo in a groggy sleepy state, wiped myself with toilet paper, looked down and saw this dark colour against the white paper. My brain clicks in and says ' OMG its implantation spotting!!!" then I look again, and it is just my finger that has broken through the paper staring back up at me! :doh: Oh if only wishful thinking could get us all UTD!
wlb: good luck for tww
cuddlepie: we do care heaps about you. xxoo
samie: good to keep positive, so glad wasn't ectopic, keep moving forward. x
murph: counting down to 2nd march, not long to go now.
kittycat: hoping natural cycle is it for you.
dusty: hope these herbs do the trick for you. had to laugh at the loo paper thing, so funny.lol
sazz:those poas tests really do do your head in, i hate them, hope for a good result for you.
mollygirl: hoping those 2 embies are snuggling in .
loula: only takes one, good luck to you.
afm: well as i said i've got a scan booked for mon morn, my cycles have been a bit random since last fet, i am usually day 28 or 29 every month, but since fet in dec when i had to use pregnyl for first time, i had 31 days, 31 days now 23 days, so they doing an early scan and then hopefully my FET should be very early in march.
i will be keeping busy with school 2 days a week plus working 2 x 5 hr shifts and life in general too. once i know FET date i'll see if i can do another acupuncture, which btw i do every month anyway for relaxation.
got fingers crossed as this is our last frozen bub.
praying so hard for a bfp.
Loula - like everyone else has said - it does only take 1 and i am so positive that it is going to work for both of us this time. I even told my FS whilst in the middle of doing my transfer about how we were both having our 9th transfer on the same day as each other!!! has to mean something!!!!
Murph - I hear we are BT day buddies - :crossfingers: It will be positive because that will make 3 and we all know things happen in 3's - you, me and Loula!
AFM - well i spent all of last night trying to feel that supposed "implantation feeling" i have to say that in all honesty i felt absolutely nothing. Things have been very very calm in my uteris since the transfer - not so much as the slightest twinge. Lets hope thats a good thing:pray:. If anyone out there who has been pregnant before felt nothing really going on inside at this early stage please let me know!!!
Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me joining this thread. I am new to belly belly and I am currently in 3 days into my 2WW. I had my FET done on Wed and my 2WW ends on the 4th of March, feels like it is going to be a long time.
Last year we did 2 cycles of medicated tracking, 3 IUI's and 1 cancelled ICSI cycle (because I over stimulated) this is our first FET cycle and we're hoping for the best. :pray:
I hope you don't mind me tagging along for the ride with the rest of you
Lianne
Hey girls,
I suspect you might know a bit more about where I am than I do. I'm ignoring any and all symptoms and I'm not gonna POAS. Does my head in! I know the date of my test but that's all. I feel happy being PUPO but I'm not thinking too much about it, staying busy, looking for work. preparing for uni again and just getting my head out of it. You might know I tend towards being obsessive and it's not healthy for me or DH or the wee ones! So I'm cruising, chilling and actually feeling fine. I'm having ap tomorrow too.
One symptom I can't ignore though is the side effects of my Ralovera (anyone else taking those??). I have had to pull over the car and take roadside naps on my way back from Cairns (quite scary). I been bombing everyday with huge sleeps and so tired at night still. It's not for much longer but I will see my F.S cos I'm susceptible to lots of meds.
Good luck for the trifector - Mollygirl, Loula and Murph on the 2nd! And to everyone else of course.
SammieJam, so glad to hear not ectopic but not great news overall. Hope you're on the horse again in no time.
Everyone else, good luck and hang in there. I'm thinking of each of you although I haven't mentioned you all and thanks for thinking of me and my embies.
P.S Kitty cat - no not blasties at transfer, still morula as they explained (i think blastie is like 100 cells and hopefully my embies are getting towards that now)
Murph xo.
Hi gang.
Got my phone call today while I was at tennis. Luckily I could find a quiet spot to talk.
As I suspected I was UTD a few days ago but now am not. My levels are already down to 9 and they regard over 75 as viable so my little one died a few days ago. The really hard thing is I was still having nausea and tingly bb up till lunchtime today but all the cramping finished yesterday so I suspected it wasnt good news. Just waiting for AF now and dreading her.
I am a bit down but not out of hope as we have 1snowbub left. I just pray that it thaws ok. Not sure when we will thaw him/her yet as we havent got our medicare back from this one yet.
Hope everyone elses is having a better weekend
Sazz
Oh Sazz :hug: I am sorry hun. That is hard news to find out. xx
((((((((((((((Sazz))))))))))))))
Awww hon, I am so so so sorry. I am struggling tonight also. My bb's are sore and I am cramping like mad. I also made fatal mistake of weighing myself tonight. BAD MOVE. I have gained 7kg in the the last 3 months :( Its the bloody icing on the cake really.
You and I are in the same boat. I have one frostybaby and we are waiting to see how much we get back on medicare before we can do anything about FET.
*sigh*
This wild ride sure isnt for the faint hearted...
Hugs everyone,
Sammie
thinking of you today Sazz,
