LTTTC Two Week Wait - June 08

**LuckyStrike** · July 15th, 2008, 08:39 AM

HI Everyone

Wrote something last night and was about to submit it, when my DD decided to stick something in my USB port that resulted in my laptop being rebooted! kids are great arent they

Tiggerlinda - congratulations! Good luck in your 2WW and hope it results in a BFP for you! Good luck with the possible frosties also, it would be a bonus.

Possums - Yes I am still dreaming like crazy. I think its all the drugs and probably my desperation to get PG that are all doing this to me.
As for your windging, what can I say but I HEAR YOU! I very annoyed with people myself. I havent told anyone about our IUI treatment but most people know that we are trying TTC #2 or atleast are thinking about it, and I have mentioned that this one is taking longer! Anyway I have some "friends" at work who continously tell me that they got PG the 1st month for both kids. I would think that is pretty insensitive, wouldnt you? I would NEVER brag like that if I knew someone was having trouble. About the smoking thing, I have another friend who is on the older side and a heavy smoker and is doing IUI and has had no success so far. Dont you think you should drop the fags just to maximise all your chances?? It really kills me when I see her smoke. She also smoked thru her entire 1st pregnancy and has continued and doesnt plan to stop from what I can tell. I have "gently" tried to tell her she needs to quit but she just doesnt get it.
And then there are the people who dont even deserve to have kids and get PG accidently, that sucks the most!
As for your mum's friend, I would be happy to not sleep for a few months if it meant I was PG this month.

Saph - no news is good news, so keep positive! Hopefully there will be some wonderful news for you this weekend!

Dusty - good luck with your BT tomorrow! I would love for you to bring back some good news so you can cheer me up. I need to start to see some BFP's here as its getting depressing.

Welcome to the 2WW Meredith, I agree and would love for all of us to be expecting babies in March. I cant get it out of my head this week, its really been playing with my mind this 2WW! I hope you get a BFP this month!

AFM, nothing very interesting to report. BB have become a little tender the last few days, other then that I am starting to feel like every other month so I am not very hopefull at all, in fact I am starting to get angry with myself. Why is it taking so long??? The questions that I am sure everyone is asking themselves. But as long as there is no AF, there is some hope, so I will just try to stay calm.
Oh yes, I'll have to stay calmer a little longer as it turns out. I read some of my paperwork and apparently my clinic only does BT 19 days past the IUI, so that brings me to next Tues or Wed. I will definiteley start to get hopefull if I go that far without AF, but even if by friday there is nothing I might start to raise my hopes a "little" as I will be on CD30 ans 14 days post IUI.
Good luck girls, we've all been on this road for too long, lets hope it ends this months

**dusty** · July 15th, 2008, 10:33 AM

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.

**Possums** · July 15th, 2008, 11:22 AM

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** · July 15th, 2008, 12:07 PM

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!

**tiggerlinda** · July 15th, 2008, 11:21 AM

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** · July 17th, 2008, 04:31 PM

That would be wonderful, but given what I have been experiencing (bleeding and cramps still) I don't like my chances at this stage.

**Janie71** · July 17th, 2008, 04:38 PM

Possums - I know you are not feeling too positive about tomorrow, but I will be

for you tonight and sending you so many

You just never know my sweet... the universe holds many mysteries and miracles.

Janie xxx

**Possums** · July 17th, 2008, 04:43 PM

Thanks Janie, for your sweet support.

Yeh, I am in a bit of a funk right now. Thinking- Why can't it all be easier? etc
I guess once we know either way tomorrow, we can move forward on to the next step, whatever that may be.
I am hoping for a surprise tomorrow of course. Just seems unlikely given what my body is doing right now. But trying to cling to hope, and thinking... you just never know.

**tiggerlinda** · July 17th, 2008, 07:48 PM

Possums - goodluck for tommorrow we will be here for you whatever
Bubbles

that is excellent

Me not much to report may be awol for awhile a few things on for work this weekend

**LuckyStrike** · July 17th, 2008, 08:56 PM

Hi Everyone

Dusty - I am so sorry about your BFN. You were in my thoughts, and I hoped so much that things would work out this month for you. I think your are so brave to be so positive about this months results and am positive your time will come too.

Possums - Good luck tomorrow. Dont give up hope yet, our bodies behave in strange way's so hopefully you will get a pleasant suprise tomorrow!

Saph - Stay strong, things are looking positive at the moment. I hope AF stays away and you give us some good news over the weekend!

Bubbles - Congratulations! I wish you a very healthy pregnancy, and hope you enjoy every minute of it! I am so happy it all worked out for you.

Sorry I havent written to everyone but I havent had a chance to read all the posts over the last few days. Good luck to anyone I may have missed and is testing tomorrow or over the weekend!

ASM, nothing much is happeneing, still no AF, but my body feels no different to any other month, so not very hopefull at this stage. Tomorrow will be the 14 days post IUI but my clinic doesnt test until 19 days post IUI, so if nothing happens by Wednesday I'll get tested then. Last month AF arrived 16 days post IUI, so if nothing happens by Sunday I'll start to feel a little more positive and might even be tempted to do a HPT.
Havent decided yet, I guess it depends on what mood I wake up in on Sunday

**MeredithD** · July 17th, 2008, 09:04 PM

Sorry, haven't been able to get back in here for a bit.

Dusty - i am so sorry for BFN. You are so, so brave to be so positive about it all. Just know, there is still plenty of hope. My nephew is an egg donor boy after yrs of trying. A beautiful gift to my sister from my sister-in-law

Possums - have replied in another thread but wishing you all the best for BT tomorrow and hoping a miracle can still happen

Luckystrike - I must admit, i would give in and do the HPT. I always do one or more before BT day as I prefer to know in advance. They are always very accurate for me. I will get BFP around 11dpo. I have been pg enough times to know, just sadly only 1 has brought me a live baby.
Are you due official BT 23rd? If so, you join Janie and I... is going to be a good day!!

Janie - Are you getting pessaries from Compoundia in Docklands? They are defnitely the cheapest in melbourne

Bubbles - YIPEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Great to have some good news in this thread. GL for a H&H pregnancy

AFM - not much to report. Feeling a bit "off" but could be meds. Getting some crmaping/pulling .... could be meds, could be pg, could be AF. Just a bit tired of all the second guessing. Officially BT is next wed but I will "know" by sunday night. Will prob do HPT if I get to Mon without that "AF- feeling"

**Possums** · July 18th, 2008, 08:58 AM

Luckystrike, Meredith, Tiggerlinda, hi...and thanks for those comments

Venus, welcome to the TWW and hope you have a BFP very soon!

as for me...just gave blood, now at work and waiting waiting. Don't feel optimistic as think I am experiencing AF (still cramping and bleeding) although my nurse said there is an outside chance it might be some kind of other 'first trimester bleeding' and to see what the blood test shows. Still everytime I cramp and go to the loo I feel depressed and worried right now. It's hard to imagine our lovely little embie could still be in there.
anyway, will know by lunchtime.

**nicjay** · July 18th, 2008, 10:05 AM

Possums -

for you today, the other ladies are right - you never know about these things!

Bubbles - Congratulations!

Lucky Strike - Hang in there, I've never really had any symptoms early on in any of my pregnancies. As long as AF stays away you are always in with a chance, but what a long wait for you! Makes me glad my clinic tests 14 days post IUI.

Venus - GL for your TWW.

Meredith - I know what you mean about all the second guessing, I'm getting heaps of cramps (almost certainly from the pessaries) but can't help wondering too. Feeling a bit over it all really! Good luck for Sun/Mon.

Hi to anyone I have missed

AFM, still nothing much happening. I have just been to the clinic to have bloods done for prog levels, today is 7 days post IUI. So really hoping for a nice number, as my E2 levels weren't as high this month as in previous months. I just can't help but worry about everything really, it seems like everything that can go wrong lately does

**Janie71** · July 18th, 2008, 12:01 PM

Hi everyone,

Possums

for you today my dear

MM - hope your prog levels are doing well.

Mereidith - LS, you and me all on the one day! I think that is a good sign!

Welcome to the TWW Venus... I hope it is your last

TL -

hope you and your 2 embies are doing well - don't work too hard this weekend.

Saph -

I'm sorry to hear about your BFN. Have a good relaxing break from it all.

Bubbles - hope you are feeling okay and that it is starting to sink in that you are PREGNANT!

AFM - I'm much the same as I have been right from the transfer. No significant cramps, the odd twinge now and then, but nothing major. However, my BB's are starting to get sore today.

that's a good sign!

to us all!

Janie xxx

**LuckyStrike** · July 18th, 2008, 02:15 PM

Janie - yes it sure does sound like a good sign!

for all of us!

Megsmum - I have to say I didnt feel anything while PG with DD until about 8 weeks into it. Only thing making me thing that its not going to happen is the fact that I have no CM and that is pretty typical for me when I am about to get AF. I seriously cant remember how it was last time, I didnt pay too much attention to signs back then b/c she was conceieved pretty quickly (by some miracle). I guess I'll just have to wait and be patient. Hard to do when you are close to the end though!
Good luck with your levels today and try not to worry about complications, I'm sure it will all be fine. :goodluck2:

Possums - Once again good luck today and I hope that you will give us some good news today!

Venus -

and wishing you lots of luck in your 2WW!

Everyone else have a good weekend, and if anyone gets any BFP's keep us informed, I would LOVE to hear some happy endings!

**Possums** · July 18th, 2008, 02:46 PM

hi ladies...no good news today, just a BFN for me, as I expected.

It didn't make it easier to hear though and feel totally deflated and flat and angry and upset and all the emotions I know you can all relate to.
We've been told to have a month off, before doing a FET with our one little frostie.
We have decided to take a holiday. It's been a long, hard intense year so far for us, and we need a break.
So looks like we'll do a FET in August, or maybe even wait until September.
Sorry no personals ladies, just not up for it right now.
But I wish you all the very best. xx

**Possums** · July 30th, 2008, 03:50 PM

TL- great news! so pleased for you

allyjane- welcome and good luck. I experienced similar symptoms too, I think it's normal...just drink lots of water. I hope you get a BFP

Lizjessie...good luck to you

Paula...I'm so sorry

...I hope you are OK. A break away will be great for you and your DH. It's just what DH and I are doing from the end of next week...2 weeks skiing and no thinking about IVF and babies just for a little while anyway. i think after a BFN you need a bit of time, it's hard to bounce straight back into everything.

Janie- am very happy for you and glad things are moving along- your first scan coming up- how exciting!

queenh- fingers crossed for you!
