Hi everyone...I officially join in the TWW as of today, just had my ET this morning.
Right now I feel hopeful and excited and also nervous.
The doctors say I can keep doing normal things, but I have decided to reduce the amount of exercise I do. I have been through the TWW before, but only when we were TTC naturally, before the ectopic. It's much different now!

Good luck Dusty, Saph and Luckstrike and Janie looking forward to seeing you here wednesday!

ooohhhh its getting exciting in here! I'm so pleased that there are others going into the TWW at the same time as me. It was so quiet in here for a while.

Possums - how fantastic that you have your lovely embie on board! that it is a sticky one.

Dusty - no problems about the note, you and your sister are really inspiring. I so hope that your 2 embies are lovely sticky ones. You really deserve it

to all of you

Can't wait to join you in here on Wednesday. Make sure you all put up your BT dates so we can start to keep track of when all the happy news will start rolling in.

Am feeling impatient and distracted already!! and washing from excited and positive , to nervous. Need to calm down...lol

Oh Possums... welcome to the dreaded TWW! Everything you are feeling is so normal. It is such an exciting and scary time. In the lead up to transfer you were able to control things as you were injecting and going to FS appointments etc. Then when you move into the TWW all of a sudden there is nothing to do!

In regards to exercise, I think the main thing is not to do anything that makes you too hot. I go for a lot of long walks, but at an easy pace and find that this helps my sanity. I don't know if you can knit or anything, but I am knitting our future baby a shawl and find that during the TWW in particular that this is a great way to keep my sanity and feel connected to my embie. Perhaps taking on a task that is specific for your future baby would help??? I know a lot of girls do scrap booking. Reading is also a big hobby of mine and I find it a god send in this time.

AFM Started on the progesterone pessaries last night. First time I have used them as used Crinone in Stim Cycle. So far so good, but yuck to how oily they are and having to lie down for 1/2 an hour afterwards! And they are soooooo expensive! Dusty you must be on them also... I'm on dose of 400 in the morning and 400 at night. What are you on?

Just waiting on call from nurses today to confirm transfer time for tomorrow. Have decided this time that I am going to take a sick day off work. When I did stim cycle, I went to work then transfer then straight back to work again. Just felt like I was rushing everything. This time I am also incorporating acupuncture pre and post transfer, so having the whole day to be able to do that will be great.

to Possums, Dusty, Saph and LuckyStrike. Bubbles if you read this, come on in and post in here... I believe you are in the TWW also

Hi everyone, I had my transfer on sunday morning and am now on day 3? of my tww. So nervous and scared as well, i didnt get to freeze any eggs so we are praying for this little one to stick We had one blastie transfered and this is my first IVF cycle.

I have been taking my 2 litres of water each day. And have done pretty much nothing the last 3 days. Cramping has gone down a bit today. I wonder how long does it takes for a blastie to implant? I heard it was the first 48hours, is that right? Would that mean mine would have implanted by now also finding a bit uncomfortable when sleeping, tummy feels weird and sore lower back and i dont know if anyone is the same but gassy as well? When will be the earliest that we can do a hpt?

My BT is 17th July so not long away. Really hope that I will have some good news to announce by then! Hopefully we will have many BFP!!

[Possums]

Hi Bubbles, welcome to this thread. I don't know yet if we have any to freeze. They were going to check on our remaining two embryos and decide today and I have to call tomorrow.

I am taking pressaries and have found that since the egg retrieval I am still bloated and have had a lot of tummy upsets and cramps and yes, lots of wind pains! I also feel very tired all the time, which I assume is a reaction to the hormones etc.

I really hope lots of BFP in the coming weeks girls!!

I am back at work today - would rather be home, but then I would probably be even worse with nerves!

My BT is on Friday July 18

Janie, glad to know all the symptoms I have are not unusual!

I felt great having acupuncture after my ET. Good luck with yours!

I am having more acupuncture on monday next week.
