I must have replied just before you???
Neptune : We must have ... HA ! I rang the nurses and they said swimming at the beach is fine in the TWW...Im on facebook as well, pm me your name if you like and I will add you if you like ?
Well got the official BFN so off to the bottle shop for that n ice cold beer,mmmmmmm.
What next for me well rubella needle on monday and then 28 days of the pill and then we start again. Thanks everyone for the good wishes.
Saph sorry to hear about the Bfn. Enjoy your nice cold (and I hope the next cycle has a positive result for you.
Spring, I've used the detox and weight loss excuses, at the moment I have been drinking lime and soda. Most people assume there is vodka in there.
I am keeping myself busy, I worked today so that helps keep mind off the tww.
Saph : Did the FS prescribe the pill for you ? Or are you taking it b/c of the rubella immun, and you dont want to risk pregnancy. If it where the latter, I would assume you would be better not taking the pill, I wouldnt want to risk it stuffing up my cycle's after I stopped it ... ? Or have you had advice to the contrary ?
Sorry to hear you got the official bfn :comfort:
Hi girls,
Saph - really sorry to hear this one didn't work out. Enjoy your beer - it's certainly the weather for it!
WLAB - hey don't give up hope yet - you just never know. I did exactly the same as you last week had a LLB and everyone just presumed vodka - it's a good trick.
I concur with all the comments around are you pregnant - worst question ever, and surprisingly I find it can come from men in the workplace as well. I'm thinking along similar lines to you Hayley - next time a man asks me that I am going to say "do you have a small d*&k? And as they look at me as if I have just said the most inappropriate thing in the world, and before they can respond, I will say, It's no fun being asked a really inappropriate question is it? Probably will never do it but it makes me feel better thinking that's what I would say...
Neptune - swim sounds like a good idea, am sure it is fine in TWW - no different to having a bath or shower. And great to hear you are sounding upbeat.
AFM I am living in a deluded state that I may be pregnant, I am aware this could bring bad consequences such as huge disappointment but it's kind of fun as well. Bought some hpt's today so they are there waiting for when I just can't hold out any longer. Originally I was thinking Monday but I am now thinking maybe tomorrow??
Having a quiet one home tonight,
Bye for now

Hi girls... Can i join the party?
I am on 1st FSH cycle now 8 DPO )I think- how do you work this out?-( I had trigger 9DPO)
On pregnyl injections and have BT on 9th Feb too- same day as Neptune! Also my birthday so a bit worried about having a truly terrible birthday!
I have not been given ANY info from the Fertility Clinic about this- what am I supposed to be doing/not doing/ feeling etc. I have had really sore ovaries for several days which has now stopped. Is this good or bad???
Anyway, hoping al of us have a lot of luck this month, and if not, can deal with it with courage (not like me crying at my desk for an hour like last time!) and move on to success next month!
LS x
WLB - pill was prescribed by clinic to make me have a cycle to begin again.
Saph - So sorry that this month wasn't your lucky one. I'm glad you've got a plan worked out, it's the best way to move forward.
Aleenta - I hear you about the delusional thinking! We were talking baby names last night. EEEKKKK. Now that's going to hurt if we are not UTD ;)
WLAB - I PM'd you my name so we can catch up on face book! Hope you're feeling okay.
Welcome Lyra Stardust! Love the name. We can anticipate the 9th together! I sure hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday.
Hey to everyone else.
AFM: Last pregnyl this morning. I don't feel any symptoms now which is odd. Last time I felt pregnant, so this is weird. Anyway, today I will finish my essay, because otherwise I will go insane. I hate marijuana, and don't know why I picked it as a stupid topic to write on....maybe I thought it would be easy!!!!!
Hi all,
Good wishes to everyone hope today will be a good day!
Neptune- I have 1 pregnyl today and then 1 wednesday, didn't realise the schedules varied so much between clinics. I'm not really feeling anything either. Also have been thinking about things and I think I ovulated on 23rd which would make me 17 dpo on my blood test day. Aren't I likely to get AF before that if it hasn't worked??? I dont get it. If it has come do I still get my blood test?? I was wondering if the pregnyl would delay my period or something. If anyone could shed some light I would be most grateful!! The nurses at my clinic are distinctly unfriendly and don't really encourage question asking!
Anyway, sending lots of sticky vibes to all.
LS x
Hi guys,
Just popping my head in to sprinkle lots ands lots of babydust on everyone :grouphug: Good Luck girls.
Hi Lyra : Every clinic is different , did you have IUI ? They make the BT after af would "normaly" be expected, so if you are going to get a positive, its a clear positive, and vise versa, they like you to get the BT even of your period (af) arrives because you can still bleed and be pregnant. And as for you nurses being unfriendly, I wouldnt put up with that !!! My FS's bedside manner has been questionable, and I am no longer putting up with that either ... Ring up and complain to some-one without leaving your name, they need to get there act together and be supportive ...
Well, as you can all tell, I am on the rampage, probably b/c af arrived ..... OHHHHHHHHH I cant beleive it , another cycle, I dont even make it to BT ... :-( ....... I am making an appt with a new FS, and the only one good thing out of this is I have hit the safety net, so I will save our pennies, and get back into another cycle in March ... grrrrrrrrrrr
Wouldloveabubba - I'm so sorry! I can't believe it. :hug::hug: Sending you heaps of cyberhugs, that is so unfair. A new FS plus hitting the threshold are positives though, so I"m sure you will move forwards in every sense next month.
WLB - Oh no! I'm sorry about ur BFN. I don't know why but I was sure you would be a positive. Probably because of the positive ora you exude. Keep it up and you will get a BFP very soon. I know it!
Oh, and I agree about the FS need to learn to have a friendly bedside manner. We spend thousands of dollars every year with these clinics and many of us are on the edge. The least they can do is show us a bit of empathy, kindness and give us the time of day to ask questions. Sure, some of the questions we might repeat 10 times (guilty!) but if that's what makes us more confident and gives us a more positive attitude to what is only to be descibed as one of the most difficult experiences in ones life, then they should allow it and encourage it. Otherwise, go get a job in a lab where there's no personable interaction!!!
There, I've said my piece. As like you WLB, it is something I believe strongly in. Rest up for the next month and we'll see you im March gorgeous ox
Jenny
Thanks wouldluvabubba! Very helpful info. I'm SO sorry that AF has arrived. What a shame. Big hugs.
About the nurses, complaining has crossed my mind but I suspect like I would just sound like a hormonal stressed woman (which is what I am!). It's nothing really concrete but it's just lots of little things that add up and make me not want to talk to them! They're very proffessional but they just have no empathy or friendliness and I get the feeling they couldn't give a toss whether it works or not for me. I wonder if they just get blase about the whole thing as they're dealing with it every day- but still a smile wouldn't go astray! I'd be interested to hear if others have similar or different experiences.
Anyway, rant over! Sorry to hear your news.
Hope everyone else is doing ok...
LS x
WLB - sorry Af has arrived oh well will see you back in the other thread. Here we go again.
hi lyra stardust,
my clinic sends out a patient survey form at the end of the cycle for feedback. Ask if your clinic has one, that would be the place to do it.
but i know what you mean, it's an awkward situation. My clinic are very good and professional and the rest, but sometimes a little blase. they forgot to ring me for my FET appointment time.. i ended up calling on saturday monring because i needed ot know for work on monday... i explained that and they were very apologetic but still annoyed me.
good luck girls
WLBA - hugs for you darl. i feel like i'm in a production line - jab, jab, jab, bloat, suck out eggs, jab, jab, wait, wait, wait, bleed, bleed and back to the start again. but they reckon its all worth it! :wall:
oxox
Wouldloveabubba - So sorry about AF sweety. Try and stay positive and look toward the next cycle hun.
I also have a question, can anyone tell me if there are any symptoms ithin the TWW???
When I lay down and bring my legs up my lower abdo feels different like its a bit tight which it didn't feel like before. Don't want to get too excited if its no sign of anything.
I had my last pregnyl inj on Wednesday and just on the crinone cream now. Decided today to do a HPT this morning and got a negative. Is 5 days after transfer too soon for a negative or just too early for a positive.
I am having blood test Friday and I know they say to wait ... But thats easy for them to say.
Lots of love, hugs and :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: to everyone else. xox
Hello all you lovely ladies I have been MIA for a week or so been super busy with work
Neptune= Hope the Pregnyl isn't sending you too Crazy
WLAB= I am so sorry the turned up that is not fair hope you are holding up ok with the heat down you way
Aleenta= Hope all is well
Saph 204= So sorry to hear your BFN
Loops12= Hope AF stays away for you and that you are handling the Pregnyl side effects ok
Spring= Your BT is due same day AF is due for me Hope your not going too crazy with the wait
Rob= Welcome and good luck
Babysteps= Welcome we are neally at the same stage my AF is due 4th Feb hope she stays away and good luck with your BT
Lyra Stardust= Welcome to the mad house, I am afraid to say the sore ovaries is a side effect of the pregnyl that I also suffer
To anyone that I missed I am sorry and good luck
AFM= I have stopped having any sort of symptoms at all now I think that AF is on her way as my face has broken out as it does right before she arrives I guess I have come to the point where I am prepared for either outcome I know there is no way of changing it so there is no point in fighting it. I noticed that alot of you ladies can't help yourselfs from POAS before your BT I am the opposite I usually can't bring myself to do it as I don't want to be dissapointed any earlier then I have to be but I am thinking of doing it this time maybe either Monday or Tuesday but I don't know if I should. I am also wondering if I should ask my FS about maybe moving onto IUI's soon as OI and timed Intercourse doesn't seem to be working but these are all things I will have to work out after Wed keeping my fingers crossed AF stays away.:pray:
WLAB... hun im so so sorry ,hang in there my friend march is going to be fab ,and best of luk with your new fs
Thanks girls
Good luck girls, you know I will be lurking ... and the odds are.. someone has to get a bfp, so I wish you all the best xxx
WLAB, I'm sorry to hear that AF arrived this morning. I know how you feel, the same thing happened to me as well today. That ends my cycle, and I'm also leaving BB for a while. I'm going on an overseas holiday for a month shortly so we won't be back TTC until April or May. Then I think my doctor wanted to start me on IVF after the 2 failed IUI cycles, I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet but I have a few months to think about it.
I have to call my clinic tomorrow morning to tell them about AF, I don't know if they'll still want me to go in on Tuesday for a bloodtest or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone who's still going, I'm sending you lots of babydust.
Babysteps i am so sorry af arrived wishing you all the best for next time and have fun overseas
HI ladies - guess I am ready to join the looney bin of TWW. Had 2 x day 5 blasts transferred this morning. Not feeling very confident at all about this one as I have had real issues with my lining this cycle but had to give it a try. My BT would be due around 10th Feb I think. Will get a time tomorrow
WLAB - so sorry AF has reared her ugly head. Hoping your new FS can bring renwed hope
Lyra - I do think it would be easy for a lot of IVF staff to get emotionally "detached". Bottom line is that it IS just a job for them. Not that I think this is exusable. They can make a HUGE difference to the emotional toll of ART and really, being empathetic should be part of the job description. Just hope you don't have to many more dealings with them
Wishingbaby - I can't resist the POAS. I need to know if i should expect AF or not. Certainly wouldn't go into a bT without knowing the result. Would just be to hard to hear that over the phone.
Well done though on holding out!
Babysteps - so sorry for BFN for you to. Hope your time away brings a much wanted suprise... holiday baby?
Morning everyone,
Well so far so good, no sign of AF yet rearing her head but I don't think I know my body anymore...
Lyra ... I don't really know what to say, I know what you mean, some staff are really detached where I go too but my embryologist was awesome, she was so excited and the doctor that did my Et as well but the other staff were just there if that makes sence. I would be awful in that job cause I would get so attachyed to everyone I meet. I did ambulance work for 6 years and only resigned last year because it was getting harder not to personaise jobs.
Wishing baby ... I know I shouldn't but I just want to know, People really underestimate the TWW. I didn't think it would be this bad but I was soooooo wrong. I just want a Pos HPT or AF, at least then I would know. At least I could prepare for whats ahead either way.
Babysteps ... So sorry for your BFN just keep positive and look towards the future.
Everyone else welcome and lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: and hugs and kisses.
hi ladies...just popping in to wish you all the best of luck
and also to say I am really sorry to those ofyou who have just got a BFN :hug:
I keep checking on everyone's progress and hope for more BFPs soon
I hope this is the right place to post, fugured the Jan TWW spills into the feb one...
Anyway, I had a day 3, eight cell beautiful embryo transferred today. This is our second ICSI cycle and we got 7 eggs but only one fertilized, hence the day 3 transfer.
:pink-babydust::bluedust: to you all,
Hi Ladies
Well here I am back in the TWW for the 4th time (with numbers 6 & 7 on board). Had 2 day 3 embryo's transferred today, 1 was a perfect 8 cells the other at 5 cells. So BT is scheduled for the 16th February which is 2 days before my birthday. I am probably lucky as I will have lots of distractions this TWW as I start a new job on Monday so will have lots new to learn which will leave little time to dwell on what's happening. Although I do plan to start POAS on Friday 13th.
I'll have to read up and see where everyone is at but special mention to Meredith, yay on having 2 on board. Did you manage to get any in the freezer as well? From your transfer we will only be a couple of days apart with our BT's. :pray: you have some good fighters holding on by their fingernails.
Hi girls
Welcome KellyD!!!!!
Hello you everyone els, hope the 2wW is not sending anyone too insane.
AFM: My BT is next Monday the 9th, but I"m afraid to say I feel a bit pre-AF today, a bit crampy and still spotting......but I guess it aint over til it's over! Too scared to POAS, but only had last pregnyl anyway so it would show positive now.
How is everyone else doing?
just a quick note this arvo, got one embie on board this arvo. :pray:
sticky vibes for all of us! xxx
Evening Ladies
ROB= Good luck with BT
DrGirl72= Welcome and good luck
KellyD= Welcome congrate on having 2 on board and the best of luck
Neptune= Good Luck with BT on Monday
Grub17= :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
AFM= Well I finally got brave enough to POAS today and it was a BFN :cry: so I am fully prepared for AF to arrive on Wednesday and to start all over again I am wondering if I should talk to my FS about maybe moving onto IUI's but I don't really want to be starting anything like that so close to moving house. I guess I will just have to wait and talk to my FS.
Sending lots of Sticky Vibes and Baby Dust to you all with the high number of us in the TWW there has to be some BFP's GOOD LUCK
Hi ladies,
I'm also in the 2ww, I had my transfer today. My b/t is 13/2 but I'll probably do a home test on 11 or 12/2...
I'll have to read up on everyone but wishing everyone the best of luck!!!
Hello Everyone,
Wow, so many are going through so much. Even though I'm going through the same thing I feel like I'm on the outside looking in. I feel like I should take a POAS and get it over and done with. I just don't have the a sense of anything going on down there. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't feel at all confident. To be honest I feel quite empty.
Rob - I'm beginning to feel like you. I need to know so I know how I should be feeling. Should I be happy, sad, angry, distraught??? I just don't know!
DrGirl72Wannabemumof3 - Welcome! Yes you have come to the right place. Excuse my rant. I hope you find the comfort you need with these girls. They will look after you.
Grub17, Kelly D, Meredith D- Best of luck girls. Fingers crossed that your embies huddle in safe and sound for the long journey ahead. I wish the best for you xx
Wishing baby & Neptune - Don't work & study too hard. Best of luck for your BTs
Hope I haven't missed anyone. Not very chatty tonight. I'm a bit down, but I'm sure I'll feel a little more upbeat tomorrow.
Goodnight girls. I'm praying for lots of BFP for us all very soon xx
Jenny
WLAB - So sorry hun :hug: I really hope you are feeling OK and that your new FS provides answers and hope. Thanks for being a great positive role model in the dreadful 2WW, and I truly hope March is your month.
Neptune - hope you got your essay done and you are cruising along well
Rob - hey we have BT same day - this friday!! Stay away AF stay away....
Baby Steps - sorry this wasn't your month either, I hope you have a wonderful holiday and you will return home to a BFP some day soon
Wishingbaby - stay away AF - maybe maybe she will, I have my fingers crossed for you
KellyD, Meredith - glad you girls made it over - as I keep telling myself it's a numbers game and you have to be in it to win it!
AFM - Had v busy day yesterday and went to the Mens tennis final - awesome!! I am so restless though - feel like a bit of a caged lion, can't stand not knowing....have done poas on weekend but really it's inconclusive - I had 2 early tests which showed feint lines (but then I read ovidrel can stay in system for 10 days so probably just that) so massive waste of time and energy poas. Then tonight on way home went to supermarket - bought 2 hpt but they only had dumb ones which only work of day of missed AF - so they are useless and showed a negative. So really should not have bothered at all. Am just clinging to hope AF hasn't showed up yet!!!
Good luck to everyone, c'mon we have to get some BFP's in here for the new year!!!
DrGirl and wannabemum - welcome and hope we can help you through this horrendous waiting. 2 weeks can be a loooong time but worth it if there is that elusive prize at the end
kellyD - Yippee at 2 on board. Hoping you get your pre-birthday suprise! My BT will be on the 12th is i can make it that far. If AF arrives when due on 10th then will go straight back into FET as yes, we did get one frostie
neptune - 1 week to go... you can do it!!
Grub - yay at joining us with one on board. let this be the month for many of us to exit
wishingbaby - so soory HPT showed BFN. Doesn't mean its defnitely over but I feel your pain darl
jenny - hang in there. Only 2 more days to go and if AF hasn't arrived yet, then things are still looking good
Aleenta - last week craziness. Its enough to send us all to the looney bin!!
AFM - One in the freezer..... yay!!Guess I am still a bit concerned re the stats given I started with 13 embies but at least its a touch better than last cycle. I am beginning to truly think that a) this whole IVF business isn't great for egg quality ( I was having much better success just with OI/IUI!) and b) my clinic must have much stricter guidelines for freezing than some others. I know a few people who get none or barely any frosties with my clinic but get on BB and hear of people with 5 or more blasties frozen. Guess at least if we need to use our frostie, it will probably be a goodie which is the clinic's whole reasoning but i can't help feeling that maybe some "poorer" ones might still make it given the chance.
Hey Aleenta so we do, I don't know what I am supposed to feel if anything. It's weird and seems to change. Damn hormones. I had last pregnyl inj last Wed and did have a BFN on Sun (yes I knew it would be too early but I couldn't help myself) I am just on Crinone cream and if that still affect hormones then it sucks. I thought that was just to help with the lining.
Spring this is my first IVF cycle so it's very surreal, I have no idea what to think feel or expect and I am the most impatient person at the best of times so there you go.
Everyone else take care I am sending you all :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: and hope we all get BFP's yay. Night
Hi everyone.
So many of you to chat to - so sorry if I forget anyone.
Whishingbaby - Good luck waiting, hope you get a BFP
WLAB - so sorry darlz about AF- hang in there and might see you in here later down the track.
LS - welcome. I know how you feel - this is my first time too. I am learning about all the symptoms etc you get from the hormones.
Babysteps - so sorry about your BFN. Hope to see you in BB sometime in the future. Good luck with everything.
Neptune - hang in there and I hope we both get BFP's. Although I am also feeling that AF is coming.
Good luck to everyone waiting and hope you don't go crazy.
AFM - I am up to about dpo11 - I did an early HPT yesterday which was BFN. Normally I don't want to do tests because I don't want to Jinx it but because I thought it might be a bit too early I thought I would, if that makes sense. Now I wont do another one until my AF is due which will be about the 7th Feb (my birthday). Although my cycles are normally long so it probably wont come until later than that.
I have had many symptoms of being pg like being very dizzy but now I am getting headaches which is normally a sign that I am going to get my AF in a little less than a week.
But perhaps my body just hasnt registered yet that I am pg - who knows, positive thinking I suppose.
Sending lots of :pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy: to eveyone. All the best xo
Meredith: I'm so happy for you that you got your 2 nice and snuggled and also 1 in the freezer. As you said I think some clinic's are much more stringent on what they consider to be good embryo's. It seems a lot of girls in here have clinic's that only freeze blasty's, where mine does day 3's as well. I remember after my EPU we had 9 A Grade day 3's which they chose to freeze and then another 8 which they thought were a bit doubtful, but of the 8, 5 then kept growing to blasty and made it to freezing. It is really hard to know if your little ones will keep growing or not and I suppose each clinic has it's own reasons why or why not is does something.
AFM: Well had a little bit of staining last night from the FET, this is the first time that has ever happened. Although thinking positive as my FS commented that my lining was in really good shape, so obviously when the transfer was done a little bit of blood came away. Although it is all good now. I'm also feeling very bruised as well, almost like when I had my fresh transfer (when you are still all swollen & sore from the EPU). It is definately not a cramping feeling, but like when you have a bruise and you press on it (kind of radiating). So going to take it easy today now that we have our Airconditioner (although it is drizzling rain at the moment - not that that isn't a good thing).
Everyone else: Hope the TWW isn't making you all too insane and turning you into Crazy Ladies.. MMMMMM Who is going to get our first BFP for Feb, there has to be some in this group for sure....
KellyD, take care after TF, I am sure everything will settle down soon. So happy that you have embie on board now.
My TF day will be this Thursday 5th Feb, my birthday. So will be officially join later this week.
Best of luck everyone, this will be our month!!!:lol:
Hi Girls. I've been reading this thread for the last hour and it's really helping me with my TWW. Through the thread I have cried, laugh, cried and laughed again!! Bloody Pregnyl!! I'm on my 2nd IUI - it's been 9 days since my last IUI (sounds like an AA meeting)! I'm due for a blood test on the 9th as well!! Best of luck with everyone! Trying not to POAS at the moment but think temptation will get the better of me!
