LTTTC Two Week Wait - June 08

[dusty]

Possums so glad you let it out. Its good to have a big old outburst sometimes. I so hear you.

Luckystrike, sorry you have to wait so long. Are you going to resort to evil POAS?

TL at least we share some of this hell time together. I have everything double crossed for you

Saph things are sounding pretty good for you! Enjoy your hol as much as you can.

everyone else

1 sleep to go. Feeling quite despondant now as have been having AF symptoms the last 24 hours and my AP said HRT can delay AF too. I am accepting the outcome now, I just need the definitive answer tomorrow so I can move onto whatever our next step may be. Probably no more egg donor cycles for a while. Also said goodbye to my gorgeous sis Em and the kids after 3 weeks together for the donor cycle (and holiday). i miss them already.

Lucky Strike - That is quite a wait GL though sending you some
Dusty - Love to share a BFP with you I will get on the phone to the stork now for you!

Me: Nothing much to report back at work and all the phones are down due to the optus issues but giving me a chance to catch up

[Possums]

dusty...I so so hope you get a BFP! You really deserve it and your sister sounds wonderful. I can understand you missing all their company already. And thanks for knowing where I was coming from.

Luckystrike..thanks for understanding my vent too
Sorry you have to wait that bit longer! I really hope we all have success.

does anyone here do HPT?

[Janie71]

HI Everyone,

Dusty - AF symptoms can also be a symptom of pregnancy My FS also said that the HRT and pessaries will delay AF, so I feel your pain in that department. I guess if you get a bleed pre-test at least you have some sort of idea about what the result will be (not that I would wish that on anyone). Where as if you don't get AF, then it will be a complete surprise. I have a good feeling for you though and really think that it will be a PLEASANT surprise tomorrow

Possums - I don't do HPT. That is due to one time that I did it when I was doing OI and I got a faint line only to get AF 2 days later. I personally would rather get the result from the BT as at least I know that is accurate.

LS - GL! Stay away AF!

TL - Welcome to TWW! So great to see you here. Stick little embies!

MeredithD - Welcome! I hope this is your last TWW

To anyone I have missed - Hello!

AFM - Not really feeling anything at the moment... So I'll look on the bright side of life and take that as a good sign!

Thanks Janie...I will try and stay strong and refrain from doing a HPT. I must admit, I am tempted.

Hi everyone,

I thought I might join here this month in the hopes it might help me get through the dreaded TWW Both DH and I are finding the going really rough lately, and are really really hoping that this month will be the one

Anyway, I am 4 days post IUI today and on progesterone pessaries for LP support. I have been having heaps of cramps and a bit of back pain from the pessaries so far, but of course I can't help but hope that they mean something else!

Good luck to everyone and hope to see heaps of BFPs in the coming days

[LuckyStrike]

Dusty - To be honest I am not sure, should I cheat or wait. I definteley wont do anything before Friday. Although the other day while cleaning, I noticed I had 1 HPT from previous so I might use it (maybe) but not sure when.

I really am in 2 minds on this actually, bc I ovulated late this month so I am in fact expecting a longer cycle, however should I get to Friday without AF then I'm going to start to feel a little more positive. Not sure what to expect though, b/c I cant be happy if its positive as the drugs may still be in me and I cant be upset if its negative b/c I was 7 days late before I tested positive when I was PG with DD. Cant remember what sort of test was though, this one I have now is one of those earlier ones that you can apparently do 5 days before AF.

Anyway I'll just have to take it day by day and I will let everyone know if I decide to test before next wed.

Dusty I wish you lots and lots and lots of luck tomorrow. I hope to hear some good news tomorrow!

[Janie71]

Best of luck today to Dusty. for you to get the BFP that you so greatly deserve.

[Possums]

hi girls...had some very faint discolouration when i went to the loo this morning...faint pink, i guess you could call it spotting. nothing there now. sorry if TMI. am freaking out a bit. period due today, blood test due in two days. wasnt expecting a period either way, due to the pressaries. am panicking though.

Dusty, I hope you come on here with a BFP!!!

and megsmum, hi and good luck!

[Janie71]

Possums darl - I've replied to you in the other thread as follows:

Possums darling - it is not over until BT. PUPO - Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise. It is quite normal to be pregnant and have light bleeds early on. My sister had constant light bleeds in the first 12 weeks.

When I had my stim cycle I was on Crinone (not sure if that is what you are on). This can irritate your cervix and cause it to bleed. I didn't bleed properly before my stim cycle BT, but did have some old dark blood the day before mixed in with the Crinone (TMI!).

If you have been told that you should not bleed regardless, then I would call your clinic.

Sending you lots of and and great big to you.

Oh Possums don't freak out. Janie is right. I had more than spotting 2 days before my AF was due in my last cycle and I was pg. What happened after that is another story but please stay positive....

[tiggerlinda]

Possums hopefully it is just irriitation and till it is a full bleed PUPO

Dusty you bring that BFP home today

Me: Had my last pregnal shot today so bubs it is up to you now

[Possums]

Kahlan, thanks for sharing that

Tiggerlinda...thanks and here's hoping for a BFP for you!

Janie, thanks again for the support

as for me....experiencing light bleeding now... not feeling very encouraged right now.

[Janie71]

Possums - just remember that whatever happens we are all here for you. I am that you will still get that BFP.

possums - Thanks, and I really hope that the bleeding is just implantation I've read quite a few stories where this has happened. Hang in there!

Dusty - Good luck for today, hoping its a BFP for you.

TL - All the best for your TWW, hope there's a BFP at the end of it!

AFM, no change from yesterday really. Still getting plenty of cramps and a sore back, but today I have a headache too Actually I feel a bit like AF is coming, but it's way too early still - I hope! I'm only 5 days post IUI, so can't imagine why that would be the case?

[dusty]

Welcome Megsmum - GL with it all!

Possums, try not to panic (easier said than done hey). Some women have early bleeds in a pg and everything is ok. Stay Away AF!!

Bubbles, Janie, Saph, Luckystrike, Meredith, and TL wishing you all the luck possible. I would love to see you all with BFPs!!!

Sadly BFN today but had a slight HCG reading so looks like our embie/s kept growing, implanted and then flew away. I have to have another BT next week to check HCG has gone down to zero - we don't want it to go up as it is too low. Looks like Em's eggs are a step up on mine alright! Very proud of her indeed. Don't be too despondent as this was a step forward for us, and while not the outcome we wanted it provides some hope for the future.

hugs to you all. a lovely bunch of TWW keeping ourselves sane peeps!

[Kahlan]

so sorry to here that Dusty

I admire your spirit and outlook though..

[Janie71]

Dusty - you truely are an amazing person. I'm so sorry for your loss and send you, your DH and Em much LOVE

Welcome Megsmum to our TWW crew. I hope your stay here is painless and your last one

Bubbles - Haven't heard from you for a while, but hope you are well and feeling confident about your BT tomorrow. for tomorrow

Possums some extra big and for you. I am sending you so many positive vibes.

To TL, LS and Saph and anyone I have missed (sorry!)

AFM - not a lot happening, still not really feeling any side effects or anything. I'm looking forward to my next acupuncture session on Saturday. Apart from that I have found a laboratory that makes progesterone pessaries for about 1/2 the price that they cost me at the pharmacy at the clinic! A nurse at the clinic put me on to them. They even express post them out to you. So I feel like I have had a productive day with that as the price at the clinic ($240 for 15 days worth) freaked me out a little when you consider that you have to stay on them after a FET until you are 12 weeks pregnant and you can't claim back through medicare.

Much love to all
