BDT - Have already said it but will say it again..... Congratulations!!
Delly - Looks like AF has decided to visit both of us today. Damn her!! I would love to hope for a miracle and for this bleeding to be something else, but I think I'd just be kidding myself. DH is refusing to give up until proven by BT tomorrow. He's so sweet. Delly, I hope you can try and put this to one side until after your exam on Saturday. I'm thinking of you and hope you get a BFP really soon. Maybe we'll be back in the TWW together again.
Rachel - Welcome. Shame it couldn't be under better circumstances. I'm sorry about your BFN and I hope it works out for you.
Hi Con, welcome. Don't worry - you are certainly not the only person who goes insane during TWW. Join the club. I think all of us use this support group for TWW to be a bit insane. It's so hard trying to even talk to anyone else about this stuff.
It took me a while to figure out all the lingo too. It can be a bit confusing. AF (Aunt Flo) means period. DPO means days past ovulation. BFN - big fat negative and BFP - big fat positive. They're some of the main lingo you'll come across anyway.
Good luck in your TWW and be sure to let us all know your results.
I've just had one of the worst days at work, resulting in a downright *****y week. I had to deal with a client today who has a mental illness, and unfortunately my work obligations mean that despite being verbally abused, insulted, yelled at and told she would complain about me, I had to keep working with her. You can probably guess that I work for the government, in a social welfare context. I'm so exhausted.
To top that off, one of my staff has called in for a fifth week of sick leave and despite everyone trying desperately to cope with her absence, another staff member (Generation Y, don't get me started!) thinks I should let her do her 'extra curricula' activities whilst everyone else works their butts off with the extra work load. I won't be the boss anymore after next week, and I'm sooooo looking forward to handing over this Problem Child. Sorry, this really shouldn't be loading up the TWW thread.
Delly - so sorry chook, I hope you're okay. Hang in there, we're thinking of you and expecting big positives in the future. Good luck with the exams.
Rachelj - welcome, and sorry about your news as well. Feel free to offload in this thread - as you can see, I do.
BDT - Some good news for a change! Well done, and all the best for a H&HP!
Mrzbaby - welcome! I hope your TWW is stress-free (ha!) and positive. When do you test?
Wishes - thinking of you and sorry about AF arriving. Keep strong.
Con - welcome as well! If you're having trouble with the lingo, you'll pick it up soon enough, but there are some help threads with the abbreviations. Here's some to get you started -
AF - (Aunty Flo, your period)
TTC - trying to concieve
HPT - Home Pregnancy Test
POAS - Pee on a Stick
And my personal favourite - AFM - As For Me! (I got confused about that because AFM in my line of work is actually the Affected Family Member in family violence matters).
AFM - still funny stabs and pinches. No doubt it's nothing but paranoia. Will keep you posted.
Hi Persephone1, Due to POAS on the 29th of June. I would love to start the new year preg!!.
It has taken us a huge amount oif effort to have our first stim IUI last Saturday.
Cut a long story short our bub died at 12 wks 2 days and then i had a heap of comlications and D & C's and then I had probs with Af then FINALLY had a go at clomid and it all went haywire then fianlly finally my utrasound ( clomid review) showed at 10days that everything was looking really good in there ( sorry tmi) and my FS had mentioned about IUI to us and i said right while we have this chance lets go for it and I had the IUI.
We are so so so wanting this to work but I am trying to not get my hopes up to high as I have read many a post in BB where it still takes forever or the IVF road is chosen. My FS said if not UTD by September then we go onto IVF.
I have been getting ( ever since I o'd really ) lots of twinging and light twitching down there never had this before. I know its way to early for Implantation but has or does anyone else have this going on?
My first time in TWW. I know BDT, Miss Magpie and Smithy from the LTTTC thread.
I am 2 days post trasfer of one little blastie.
I have some questions. Is it normal for a blastie to hatch prior to transfer? Or do they all have to hatch before transfer?
Also, I awoke on Wed night with sharp pains in my side which lasted a few minutes. I have felt a bit tender on that side on and off since. I'm an endo sufferer and no stranger to acute pain. Would it be possible for an embryo to implant so soon after transfer?
HUGE congrats to BDT and Smithy and I hope Miss Magpie's pregnancy is coming along well.
Best wishes to the rest of you. I am looking forward to sharing news and tips in here together and LOTS of success stories.
MH, a hatching blastie is a great sign, but they don't have to be hatching on ET day. It is very possible it was implanting soon after ET. Mine did the day after ET with strong cramps. Good luck hun!
Hi girls.... Just wanted to let you all know that BT this morning confirmed a BFN for me. Although I pretty much knew this yesterday, it still sucks to hear it. Strange thing is though, I'd kind of already accepted it, and my fertility nurse seemed more distraught than me when she told me the news.
I'll be taking a break for a month and will then be doing a FET is July/Aug (we have 5 snowbubs). I'll be asking for 2 embies to be transferred for the FET (only one was transferred for this fresh cycle), as I want to maximise my chances as much as possible.
Good luck to everyone else in your TWW. I hope you all get BFP's.
Oh Wishes - I am so sorry, it is just been a rubbish run - not enough BFPs by half!
AFM - am going in for a scan today to see what is wrong with me, if there is something obvious it will mean that I have had 2 stim cycles and 4 transfers for nothing and that they didn't pick up on it after I lost Charles.
Great
All the best to everyone else
Delly
hey girls. 6 days to go until BT. at least the weekend will go quickly and it will be monday in no time and then only 3 days to go.
Am feeling some pains, but who knows. Last time i had transfer on a thurs, and the following thurs i felt sick all day, got the shakes, felt like food poisoning, and eventually threw up that night and felt rotten the next day, and started spotting. When i had BT on the following monday, hcg levels were 35, so i figured that the thursday prior was when things went wrong. Hcg levels were back to 0 the following monday.
So this time, transfer was last saturday. All the nurses at monash are so nice. When i went back this time, its like they know you and they are so supportive. I figure if i make it though the weekend without incident then maybe that is one step closer than last time.
Fingers crossed. The last 3 days became unbearable last time and when i started to go a bit mental, so you will probably hear lots more from me in the next week!
Good luck to you all. Love that there are some BFP's here, gives us all hope.!!
