Neptune: I doubt very much it would be residue .. Could it be implantation spotting ... :crossfingers:
Just lost my post! :doh:
It just looks like my normal pre AF spotting, but hey, I like to live in hope, and that mantra "ignore all symptoms" just doesn't cut it for me once I get to this point, and I figure that no matter what, it is going to hurt if I am not BFP no matter how balanced, negative or positive I am!!!!
How are you going Wouldlove?
Hi Tania, thanks for dropping in :D
oh neptune, you poor thing. but don't worry about the rant. i'll be there with you shortly.
hi to all the girls and thanks for the stcky vibes from our lurking friends!
good BT result today... surge started so I'm good for FET on Monday! and no more BTs til feb 11 for my preg test. They told us we shouldn't discount our little blastie so i suppose... here we go again.
if fet doesn't happen ie embie fizzles then we'll go straight into another stim cycle. ugh.
ox
:dance:
Neptune it is more than fine to have a rant. I have keep myself sane this time by having a pool installed and not having a minute to scratch myself. Can anyone tell me (as you all seem to know so much more than I do) does the prog pessaries increase CM. I know gross question but one I am curious about. Trying not to read any signs into the syptoms. Had last pregnyl inject on sun so they should start to wear off soon. I am really due for BT on thurs but am waiting til sat as I dont want the results at work.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Evening all,
Saph - hang in there - it ain't over 'til its over - have everything crossed for you
Hayley - I hope your FET goes ahead as planned next week, and don't give up hope on your frostie - it may be strong and gorgeous and the answer....
Loops - Good luck - sorry not sure about IUI procedure re blood test, I went straight to IVF and hopefully someone can answer your pregnyl question as well
Neptune - it's so hard to ignore symptoms - is say go for the most positive explanation at this stage - why not! Let's say it's implantation - it's got to be better thinking the best rather than the worst - anyhow too early to think the worst
Saph - fair enough for waiting for BT - stay away AF and come on BFP for Sat!!
WLAB - I know what you mean it's so hard not to look for signs - I have been a bit like that today, wondering if I was going to get any implantation spotting or not - nothing to date. It's the not knowing that is the hardest. Great story about your glasses too - hopefully it's your time for the universe to conspire your way...
AFM - Trying to stay calm, I have been meditating in the morning and have found that a really good start to the day, am going to try and keep that up, anything to help with sanity. I also have an accupuncture appointment on friday so that will also be good.
Hugs to all and lots of :bluedust::stickyvibesgirl:
Tried to edit previous post and lost it -
didn't mean to leave out:
Neptune - Let's take the positive sign for now - implantation spotting - too early for anything else anyway so looking good I say!
Saph - fair enough not wanting result at work, I have been wondering about how I will handle mine - maybe I will work from home that day - I am lucky I have that option if I need it. Stay away AP, and bring on BFP for Sat!
:
Hi Saph, from my understanding, it does, any increase in P4 whether naturally through our normal cycle or by medication can induce us to produce more CM, not the stringy, clear egg white you get before O but the cloudy, clumpy or sticky pasty type.
Good luck girls and bring on BFP!
I am feeling the same way as you Neptune, had another Pregnyl booster yesterday and it is making me feel ill, very tired, sore BB's etc, like I am pg. Thanks to you guys I know it is likely to be the injections so won't get my hopes up too much but obviously still hope that I will be pg as well. If that is at all possible LOL. Thanks for your help.
Still have my fingers croseed for everyone. :goodluck:
Hi Bellas,
This is my first post in this thread. I'm happy to have found it and to see some familiar names. Hope all everyone is going strong and hope you all receive BFP soon.
I am on day 6 of TWW. BT due for 4 Feb. This is my first FET, with 7 embies still frozen.:pray: :pray: Any body else at the same stage?
I look forward to reading more of your posts and see how you are all going at your different stages.
Hello lovelies,
Welcome loop! I am two days behind you my BT is on 6th Feb.
The wait is starting to become annoying - I don't think this ridiculous heat is helping either!! I don't have any symptoms other than twinges but they feel more like they are to the sides in my ovaries - so maybe from stim drugs. Who knows but it's hard to ignore and not think about it.
Having a shot of Ovidrel tomorrow so that will make me tired and give me other false symptoms as well.
Does anyone know when I could POAS? Would it be like 2 or 3 days before my BT? I think my frosties were 3 days old so how many days post transfer do you think you could get a reliable result. I have read the Ovidrel pamphlet and it only stays in your system for 48 hours so by next week I should be clear of drugs??? Yes feel naughty thinking about POAS already:lol:
Good luck to everyone and stay cool x
Hi lovely ladies
My computer at home has "pop up" madness, so I am going to try and post as its driving me crazzzzy, so if I dont reply to your questions, it's b/c of my computer :computer:
Aleenta: I will be poas over the weekend, and my BT is on the 5th,
Spring - Hi and best of luck for your frostie snuggling in - if you read back over the last couple of days there is a dates list posted,
Loops - hoping your symptoms are are warm up for the real ones... did you choose your name from Fruit Loops ?
Saph - BT this week, ohh how exciting - best of luck for you
Grub - c u on Monday after your transfer
Neptune - how are you going .. positive news for you I think miss
AFM: I have been feeling so cr@p .. Sooo moody and teary, and sort of angry, depressed, oh you name it I have felt it, I cant shake it... It is all the drugs leaving my system, surely, making me feel so negative and hopeless. Have you guys had withdrawal symptoms from the drugs ? If that makes sense ?
Wouldlove - :hug::hug: I'm sorry you're feeling so yuck. I've only really got one other IVF cycle to compare it to, and yes I did feel like that once the drugs wore off...it was horrible, I was soooo miserable. This whole process can be very cruel like that. Sending you big hugs my friend, hang in there!!!!
Hi Spring, welcome!!
Aleenta - I'm not sure when you should POAS. I would definitely think 2 or 3 days before BT should be safe? I'm going to try and not do them this time round (ha....just watch me!).
Loops- I'm doing my 2nd pregnyl today. Will watch my boobs swell and nausea settle in. Good luck!
Saph - You'll be the first off the ranks for your BT. Waiting with bated breath sweetie!
Grubs - how exciting for FET!!!
Hope I haven't missed anyone? If so, :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: to everyone!!!
AFM: Slight streaky spotting yesterday, just on loo paper. It really and truly looked just like the spotting I can get pre AF...sometimes about a week before. So I've stopped getting my hopes up about it. Have felt some pulling sensations in right groin area, but I also got that last time on Pregnyl, so who can tell? I could also be constipated, and it could be wind pain!!!! Oh the joys of the 2WW girls, it is nooo fun. I"ve kind of lost my positive feeling too.
Neptune !! What are you doing up in the middle of the night !!
Morning girls,
Neptune, thanks for your support, I feel better this morning, I went to the beach late last night, then slept and I have hit the safety net in Jan !!! So if I am unsuccessful at least I can save up and try again, I dont "feel" preg, I want that feeling back I had at the start of the tww !!
When will you poas ? do you buy the ones of ebay ?
How is everyone going .. us Melb girls are Hot Hot Hot , we fitted evap cooling 2 weeks before christmas, it has paid for itself allready
Well here on perth it is cloudy and quite cool. Today is my first day back at school. but what you all really want to know is the result of the poas....................... very faint second line. Taking it with a grain of salt as last pregnyl was sunday but i was due for finial bloods today maybe it is real. So will do another test tomorrow and sat morning and see if it gets darker. keep your fingers crossed for me.
hi girls - I check in here all the time and send you sticky vibes in the TWW.
Neptune - every month I had the exact same pre-AF spotting - including the month I got my BFP - so try your best not to read too much into it :D
Aleenta - I poas'd on a friday and BT was scheduled for the following tuesday - so I think 2-3 days before would be fine - good luck!
Good luck girls :crossfingers:
HI everyone,
Well I really undersimated the TWW. I had my transfer Tues (1:30) and it's only 48 hours later.
I have had a little cramping (Is that Normal???) I just keep thinking everyday with no AF is a good thing. Then I think am I or aren't I, we have even nicknamed the embryo "George". I said to hubby it could be Georgina but he is happy with George.
So will George stay or go, and if George goes we will have to do this all again. OMG!!!
Anyway girls I am so sorry it' my first time and I have no idea what to feel, think or expect.
Lot's of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: to everyone and a big :grouphug: too xxx
Hello Again!
Good luck Saph, I have everything crossed for you :goodluck:
Wouldlove - I was up early today b/c the dog decided to jump on me at 5am, and then must have heard someone outside b/c she then barked right in my ear! I was wide awake after that and had a busy day at work so just got going. Glad you feel a bit better today.
Thanks Mels! That helps
Hey to all you other 2WWers and the lurkers!
AFM: I have quite a lot of bloating and discomfort in the general vicinity of my uterus! Must be the pregnyl; I have looked up the side effects, and yep, cramping and discomfort is the number one side effect! Feel blah.....going to try and get some study done tonight.
It is heating up in Sydney, but not as bad as Melbourne.
Off to walk the naughty dog
Hi Rob, we were posting at the same time.
Yes, I"m afraid all of that is normal! Welcome to the 2WW madness.
WE all go a bit crazy in here. I went so far today when I had a thought, "Gee, won't it be a good story to tell everyone that we had a cancelled IVF cycled that was converted to an IUI, and what do you know, we got pregnant!!!"
Mad, I'm telling you :ROFL:
Hi girls
Saph ... gee you are so good waiting, I could not wait one more day than I had to, however I completly understand your work commitments, and that you would rather be at home either way, good luck, I am sure the line will get darker, I will be thinking of you
Neptune .. Naughty doggie
Rob .. Is cramping normal, ha !! nothing is normal in the tww my love, so believe me by the end of it you will know every creak and crack your body has
Hey Mels - thanks for your support, hope you are well
Hi to all you lovely girls,
Im feeling the ol' pre af pains, bloating etc.. My early preg tests arrived in the mail today (naughty I know) so I will be sending my self insane with fmu, everyday until bt, I am going to admit it to you guys because I wont let anyone else know ... oh wouldn't it be nice ...
OMG - Can Melbourne get any hotter???? I am surprised the computer hasn't had a meltdown yet!!
WLAB - glad you are feeling better today - and I totally get why you want to take some control back by POAS - I think we all have to do what helps to keep the madness at bay!! BTW - what's with the ebay tests? Are they cheaper than chemist? Or more reliable?
Saph, hope your lines gets darker by the day and Sat comes around really fast for you - will be thinking of you
Rob - it is so damn hard this whole waiting game. It seems to take forever to get into 2TT and then once you are in here it drives you mad anyway!! Hang in there and vent all you like in here..
Neptune - love you positive scenario - keep that one going, it can't hurt ::D What a great story to be able to tell people!!
Thanks everyone for advice re POAS - I think I will try to hold out to Monday or Tuesday, I would like to be strong enough to hold out for BT but I don't think I have it in me, and besides if no one else knows, no harm done really... Gee the whole symptoms thing is so damn annoying - one minute I think I haven't had any, then I get twinges and funny feelings below my tummy, and my BBs have definately grown and are a bit tender (but maybe it's all in my head LOL!!)
:bluedust::pink-babydust::noaf:
Aleenta:
If you can hold off until Mon or Tues and your BT is the day after mine, I might hold off too, it would be really unsetling to see one line ,if I make it that far ..:pray:
The poas are on ebay .. heaps cheaper than the chemist, there has been lots of discussions about them on BB, some girls like them, some girls dont. I have found them to be reliable, and they are good if you are a serial poas-er , you dont spend a fortune at the chemist/supermarket, they arrive in packs of up to 50 :wall: - so there are some serious poas's in there...
But hey ... we might not need them ;)
Hi to all!
WLUB - Thanks for the tip about the BT dates for everyone on this thread. Nothing like a bit of sun and fresh air in those lungs to bring the best out of the situation :hug: When is best to POAS? What doeas POAS stand for so I can look it up.
Aleenta - Hang in there! I'm going nuts to now too with still one week to go! How ever will we cope! :wall:
Wishing Baby - I see you too is having your blood test on the 4th. Hopefully we both have BFP coming our way. Wouldn't that be wonderful. Hope TWW isn't driving you insane just yet.
Rob - Welcome and best of luck for your first time. Wouldn't it be lovely to be successful first time around? I hope you are and look forward to seeing how you progress. This is only my second time round, and the first time I can actually enjoy it, because of insane OHSS last time. Anyway, all the best :D
saph - I have my fingers crossed for you for a BFP.
:bluecheer::cheer: Give me a B, give me an F, give me a P! What does it spell? :bfp:
Mels - Hope you are doing well
Neptune - :SAAF: Hope the naughty dog is behaving and you got some study done
AFM - I am starting to go a bit nuts waiting for BT. Maybe I should start a hobby. What would you lovely ladies suggest?
Otherwise, all is well. Work is very busy. My only colleague has been sick for the last week, so I have had a heavy work load all this week. It's not so bad, at least it's keeping me busy, and the air conditioning is awesome.
Good night sweeties!!! :asleep:
Saph - I just thought this morning that your BT should be today and logged on to check on you. that sounds all very good - thinking of you and hoping the BT confirms a BFP :goodluck:
Sara
well sorry to say no second line this morning, so back to the start for me I guess. BT tomorrow will just confirm BFN. Didn't really get my hopes up as I felt that it wasn't my time. Have to take the next month off (rubella needle required, even when we are not cycling we still have needles) so March here we come.
Best of luck to all of you who are still in the TWW.
Oh Saph, I am so sorry, but what type of POAS are you using? There is still a chance, will be sending lots of BFP sticky vibes for your BT tomorrow and hope you get the surprise of your life.
Hi all
Saph - so sorry to hear that. Hang in there - we will all get there in the end - positive thinking ox
Thinking of everyone waiting whilst I go insane myself. Tempted to do an early HPT but I think I will restrain. Have a wedding this weekend so that should keep my mind off things. Also my DH and I arent doing too well - big fights over work etc and what to do with our lives - to dairy farm or not to. We have nearly had to seperate a couple of times now and we have only been married for not quite 2 years. :wall: Maybe I could put it down to TTC.
Also the fires in Gippsland are getting very close to my folks farm - so that is also keeping my mind off the wait as well. Fires are less than 10km away.
WLAB - Loops sort of came from Fruit Loops. My dad calls me that and others call me Loops. Also it is just one that people dont normally use on websites etc. Lou is normally taken.
Anyway - Im still thinking about everyone going insane with wait and have my fingers crossed for all of you.
Take care :pray:
Hi everyone,
I'd like to join this little gathering - I'm in the TWW for my 2nd IUI cycle. My BT is on Tues 3rd Feb, I'm already 13DPO but my clinic always schedule my BTs for 17DPO. How annoying! I've got one more pregnyl injection to do tonight and then nothing until Tues.
As you can imagine I've got random symptoms which are probably more like pre-AF signs, such as mild pelvic cramps, sore and heavy bbs (they're an E cup normally so you can imagine how heavy they are with the pregnyl!) and chocolate craving. That reminds me, I should go and buy some healthy lunch so I don't graze on the chocolate in the kitchen at work.
Saph:
I am so sorry to hear that you must be terrible disappointed. Don't want to give you false hope but I think as long as AF is not there, maybe wait until the BT before giving up on it :hug:
Sara
Hi girls
Have been sitting on the PC surfing the net, procrastination, supposed to be studying, looking at options for my 40th in July. Any ideas?
Saph - I"m sorry darl. I hope you're wrong (and HPT's can be wrong!) and that you get a surprise tomorrow. If not, I hope that you can move on swiftly to the next step. Hang in there.
Babysteps - welcome to the 2WW! Yes, apparantly we are supposed to ignore all the symptoms :rolleyes: Still, I think we are supposed to go mad during this time.
Loops - this whole process puts a strain on the relationship, that's for sure. I hope you and DH are able to come to some sort of peace, but it isn't easy, I know.
Spring - maybe you should start a macrame craze? Haven't seen that ***** since the 70's. Clean out some cupboards? Re-organise a room in the house? All the best to you in the crazy waiting game.
HEy to all my other friends in here - WLAB, BDT, Aleenta, Rob, and anyone I have missed....I can hear DH's car pull up and I have to at lest pretend to be studying.....:shhh:
Grrrr - just posted a reply to everyone - and hit the wrong key and ended up on page 6 ......
Im getting tired so I will log on 2morow and post it again
Sweet dreams girls
Popping in to see how you are Saph, have you had any news this morning ?
Hopeing its good news for you
Hi lovely ladies
Good morning all,
Saph - What did the test say today?
Loops - Sounds like you are going throug a tough time. I'm sure it's just a rough patch. This kind of weather, plus the strain of IVF can do it to any couple. Hang in there.
Babysteps - Welcome! Hope the sympoms are for all th right reasons. Best of luck for Tuesday. That's also my DH b'day. I'm hoping it is a fantastic day.
Neptune - Macrame? Don't think that's for me. However... cleaning is something that I can do that takes my mind off everything. I think you're onto something! It's just so hot its hard to get the motivation to start!
AFM - Still no sign of anything happening. No sore BB, no cramping, no nausia, no NOTHING! I feel completely normal ARGH!!!!
Here's a situation for you. If you are invited out to say, a staff social gathering and everyone is drinking, except you and they ask why, what do you say? Every time I say it's because I'm on medication they say, "What, are you pregnant?"
Why don't they believe me? (ok I'm not the best lyer) and what should I maybe say instead? I don't want them to know.
Enjoy your weekend gals
Spring ... You can say you are on a de-tox, trying to loose a few kilo's, or had a big nite the night before and could not handle one more drink !!
The other day, I had a lemon/lime/bitters and everyone just assumed it had vodka in it ..
AFM: I would lurrrve a vodka .. I am crampy and feeling very pre af - I am all but counting myself out, I have no faith this cycle has worked, in fact I just rang the clinic, and asked the protocol for swapping over to another fs within the clinic.. I am not feeling the love with this one, and I know I am going to have to try again ..
Wouldluvabubba - I wish it was that easy! It would be nice for a drink right about now. Oh, how good would a fruity ****tail be, Sex on the Beach!!! ...the drink I mean.
hi spring,
that is the worst situation and people always say "are you pregnant'' to the smallest thing ... i feel unwell today "are you pregnant''; i don't want to drink '' are you pregnant''. i think its the rudest question ever, what a personal thing to ask someone whether or not they are going through what we all are.
but i would just say the same as WLAB and say you are on a xmas detox or fitness bend and don't really feel like drinking. if they ask if you are pregnant i would say "no are you?'' or if its an older woman say "no why, are you going through menopause?'' or such. i know, i know, that's really *****y and i probably would feel bad if i said it to someone but that question really bugs me.
but sometimes, when i get asked and i don't like the person i just say "oh no we can't have kids but thanks for asking...'' that shuts em up.
We have our FET at 3pm Monday. fingers crossed.:rolleyes:
love to all. hang in there girls.
ps just in case you can't tell, i'm in a cranky mood today. sorry. :wall:
sticky vibes for alll .... :pray:
WLB - I so hear you I am dying for a nice cold beer, at least I will confirm that I can have one tonight. Went back and looked at tests again and there is still faint lines but not as dark as on thursday, so think it is still the pregnyl in my system.
I am also looking to change FS after this cycle but I will also be looking to change clinics as well. let you know how I go. Mine is not because I dont like FS ( if fact he delivered DS andi nannied for his children when I was at uni) it is just that the clinic is an hour away and we have a clinic five minutes around the corner. The travelling is killing me.
I have to tell you what a bad person I am, my best friend is TTC #1 and she has just started, she was due to find out if this was her month this weekend, but AF came a week ago and I secretly was glad that it didn't happen for her either. I am sure if it had happened for her I would have been over the moon, but at the moment I am having the why is it not happening for us what did we do wrong. We have been TTC #2 for 18months, we try so hard and get nothing and then there are these people out there who kill there kids, it is quite upsetting. Sorry for the vent. i have got it off my chest now and I feel a little bit better.
:crossfingers::crossfingers:ANGE.. hang in there hun and ill have that drink for ya im :pray: like mad hun that you dont get that drink for the next 8 months ok
and sex on the beach really does sound good and not the drink pmsl ill have that for you to ok :rofl: please dont give up hun be strong and know im always thinking of you your gonna be a wonderful mummy very soon .
PS.. hun about the new fs you know thats what we did and im so happy we did it i feel so much better with this fs so if you think that can help then go for it hun you have to feel like your wanted and not just a number so to speak
sending some sticky vibes to all in TWW. good luck
WLAB - :hug: I hope you're wrong. Remember, many women feel very pre-AF and turn out to be BFP, so there is still hope! Hang in there. When is your BT??
SAph - Good luck, hope you get some good news :goodluck: I know just what you mean about your friend, and it doesn't make you a bad person. I have a friend, not very close, she's one of my husband's friends ex-wife, but I chat to her on facebook etc. I heard on the grape vine that she is PG after one month of trying with her new partner. I cannot bring myself to ask her about it because I just feel awful about it. Seems unfair.
Hayley - Good luck for your FET Monday :crossfingers:
Spring - I could sit on the beach and watch the waves roll in, but sex on the beach would be far too much for my libido to handle ;) A nice cold beer would do me at this moment *sigh*
Hi to JBM and Smithy :welcome: Thanks for popping in.
AFM: Nothing to really report. Feel normal now. Occasional light streaky spotting still happening, but I think that's just me, honestly. Last Pregnyl tomorrow and BT 9th Feb. Went for a lovely swim this morning...that's okay in the 2WW right? Getting my essay done, but hate it with a passion!
Saph: sorry this cycle isnt your one .. have your nice cold beer tonight with dh, you derserve it, a new clinic 5 mins from home, will be a much better thing for you, specially with your ds, we r under enough stress as it is. A IRL g/f of mine was TTC since Feb this year, and got preg in Nov, Its such a difficult situation, you are happy for them, but like everyone, you think, why .... ? Why cant it be me ??
Smithy : Thanks sweets for popping in to see me ... have fun with the sex on the beach...;)
Neptune and Aleenta - Babysteps and Loops - you girls are quiet today ?
