Babydreams thank you for replying, could you pop into the above thread to say hi so I can ask you a few questions about your cycle etc, as this thread is for TWW chatter, I can't ask a heap of questions in it, oops not sure if the link is working , its the long term assis thread - thanks hun

Hi again to all xx

Hi ladies,

Congratulations babydreams, here hoping it rubs off on the rest of us.

I need a little advice, had transfer on the 8th July, on Monday I caught the flu of some sort. Last night was the worst I had terrible night sweats, my PJ's, sheets and even both mattress protectors were saturated. Does having the flu & fevers affect my chances of getting pregnant. Please help !
Doctor has now put me on antibiotics. :(
I now honestly think I have blown my chances this cycle.

Good luck to everyone, sending lots of :stickyvibesgirl: :bluedust:

:cold:

Danyelle,

My sister has 3 kids. Everytime she got a really bad flu she would end up preg. It became a running joke in our family. I dont think the flu hinders implantation. I think stress is worse so hang in there honey and try not to worry to much.

Hi girls - well what an interesting day. Around 9am I started getting some cramping and I tried to ignore it. Around 11am I went to the toilet and found dark coloured blood, I freaked, found DH (we work together) and we were both feeling pretty shattered thinking it was all over. I rang the clinic and went in for a blood test. It was the longest few hours, I rang as soon as I could and would you believe it :bfp: I thought for sure we were out of the game, had been crying and then a positive result - low levels obviously but still positive. If this works out :crossfingers:this bubba will technically be DD's twin(out of the same cycle). I have another BT on Monday. wow wow wow, I am over the moon. :dance:
Sammiejam - please don't give up yet, it sounds like what happened to me.

WOW. omg, WOW WOW WOW!

Another BFP! Its blimin FANTASTIC Janie!!! July certainly is the month!

And here I was, not half an hour ago thinking that implantation bleeding is an urban myth...

I am sooooo happy for you Janie, and all you other darling girls.

Still not feeling too hopeful for me. This cramping has been going for a couple of days now. No bleeding but sure feels like the witch.

I guess after all the disappointments I just dont think its going to happen for me. Ouch. There goes another twingey pain... :(

Janie and Babydreams....

BIG BIG CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS...

lovely news to sign in and see...

:clap::dance::clap::dance::clap:

Thanks Sammiejam and MsPink, hopefully we'll get to see a few more before the month is out.
I honestly thought it was the start of AF, the nurse called it breakaway bleeding. It was the last thing I was expecting to see this morning and still has me a little worried.
I am so blessed, I'll say some prayers for all you beautiful girls.

Congrats Janie and Babydreams!

Danyelle, for one of my IUI's I had a 39C fever from a few days before the IUI until a few days after. My FS said it wouldn't be a problem. But then my post-transfer instructions say to avoid increasing your body temperature, so I'd probably still be worried about it and do whatever I could to bring the temperature down.

Hi Girls,

Sammie and wishes, the game ain't over girls. I've now heard of quite a few girls feeling like the AF was on her way, only to get a BFP. So don't give up hope!! :pray:

Janie, congratulations hun!! Wonderful news, wishing you a very smooth road ahead :p

Danyelle, I don't think having a cold or flu lowers your chances of falling pg. Keep positive hun and take it eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasy, rest up and remember I have everything crossed for you! :pray:

Babydreams, wow!!!! I truly feel so inspired by your story, age has always been an issue with me in terms of TTC, but now you have given me confidence to keep going whatever happens. Thanks hun!

AFM, I have had some numb pain around my ovaries and uterus since saturday, but this morning I had the 'real' period cramping and sore back. I hope my blastie has implanted into the lining. I also feel light headed and my ()() are v. sore and the dots around the nippies are quite bumpy and darker. Hmmm, maybe it's all in my head and AF is tricking me. I really hope not! This 2WW is taking FOREVER!!!

I also have a feeling JULY is gonna be a big month for BFPs (helloooooooo! it's already started!!!) so here is wishing everyone :bluedust: and :stickyvibesgirl: waiting for our BT!

Hugs

Sammiejam - thanks for the cyber chocolate. And I also think that implantation is an urban myth. I hope your cramping is not AF. When do you test?

Mumofsix - thanks for the support. I'd like to think this is just implantation bleeding, but I'm not so sure. I wish for implantation bleeding every month, and each time, there's either nothing, or its just AF.

Danyelle - sorry I can't offer any advice as I'm not sure of the effect that the flu/cold has on getting pregnant. Am crosssing my fingers for you though.

Janie - CONGRATS!!!!! So happy for you. Can I ask what dpo you were yesterday when you got the dark coloured blood, and then your BFP? Were you supposed to be testing yesterday, or was it earlier than scheduled?

Beata - thanks for your support too.

AFM - Because this is a natural cycle, I don't have a BT date, so I'm just waiting for my body to tell me if I'm pg or not. I'm thinking it's more like the "not" though. Yesterday and this morning, I've had the brown or dark red/rusty coloured blood on the TP and also when I go poking around. As I'd said before though, I wouldn't have expected AF until Monday, so these signs are earlier than I'd thought. I'm certainly not normal when it comes to my cycles though, so there is no way I can predict what my body is going to do. When we were trying naturally before starting assisted conception, my shortest cycle was 25 days and my longest cycle was 38 days. And each time I thought I had a bit of a routine, my body would put a stop to that.

Good luck to anyone who is testing today or over the weekend.

Wishes xoxo

Wishes, I've been told by my IVF nurse that implantation bleeding only occurs in about 30%of women. So most women aren't likely to get it. With my pg last year I didn't get any spotting/bleeding.
I have a friend at work who did a fresh cycle earlier this year (she's now 23 weeks pg) and she had 'pink spotting' for 3 days after the transfer. She also had period like cramping for a total of 3 weeks after her transfer so just before her BT she was still expecting AF to turn up. And her nurse told her AF pains and implantation pains are very very similar.
I have had 'AF' type cramping since Thursday morning, so I am praying to God it's implantation cramping......gotta hold onto some hope :pray:.
Hang in there hun, I know how hard it is but keep positive and keep hoping and praying, cos that's all we have. And I pray with all my heart you get your BFP. GL darl :pray::pray::pray:

GL to everyone testing this weeked too :crossfingers:

HI all

Just popping in for a quick poas meeting, I really feel like doing one, I am 6DP5DT, I am not going to do one, I just had to get it our there that I have the cravvvvinnngg ..


Janie and Baby Dreams Congratulations !!

WLAB,

Well done for avoiding it! Even though I've committed myself not to poas, I've already worked out that Wednesday next week would be the earliest opportunity of doing it if a +ve result is going to show up. So the behaviour is still there, and the thoughts and temptation. But it helps that you're being honest with yourself.

Good luck over the next few days, will be thinking of you.
Seph

Well Im over the TWW, ole Aunty Flo arrived with a vengence 2 days before my BT.
Man talk about cramps, really bad waking me up throughtou the night!
Anyways we have a nice hatching blastocyst on ice...so we will try again!

Good luck to everyone wishing you all a positive result!!

Kay Kay

I'm really sorry Kay Kay, I prayed for a BFP for you. Take care hun, the game ain't over yet! Big hugs :hug: and good luck for next time :crossfingers:

Beata xxx

Hi girls,
Well I have crumbled and given into the HPT.
Its been 9days since transfer or 10 days if you count transfer day and its neg.
So im sure im out again this month.
So a whole new fresh cycle for me next time.
Goodluck to all the girls in waiting and i hope you get your BFP this month!
Take care

Hi Girls,
Thanks for your kind wishes....

Wouldloveabubba & Persephone - well done for resisting the temptation, I am a sucker for HPT, we need one that gives immediate results.

Kaykay - I'm really sorry to hear that AF arrived and just wanted to wish you all the best for your fresh cycle.

Mumofsix - When is your blood test? I'm still holding out hope for you.

Sammie - Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you, our bodies do some confusing things to us.

Wishes - The bleeding started at 8dp5dt, (Thursday) My blood test wasn't due until Monday 20/07 so it was very early for them to do the test. They didn't have any results to compare my levels to. Best of luck to you hun, I'm hoping to see a few more positives in here before July is out.

AFM - The brown blood has continued to the point where I was a little worried yesterday and rang the clinic. I had another blood test and the HCG is rising so all good. My next one is Thursday now. I think while ever there is little blood I'll be nervous.
The nurse couldn't explain why it's happening but said she has seen girls have a bright red blood loss and still be pregnant so I guess it's fairly common.
You're all in my thoughts and prayers xo

Hi Girls,

Mumofsix, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you when you have your BT :crossfingers:

Janie, you must be so stressed hun! Keep in mind though, spotting and even bleeding is quite common in pg. If you need re assurance, just call your nurse. Anytime. That's what she is there for. GL hun, I pray everything goes well for you :pray:

For everyone else still waiting for their BT, I have my fingers and toes crossed for you girls, sending you all big :stickyvibesgirl:

AFM, (.)(.) are still very sore, cramping has been going on since Thursday morning. Felt a bit yucky last night. I didn't think I would avoid the HPT, so I tested yesterday morning and the control line came up very fast and then the faintest of faint lines appeared. I thought I'd check again today and it's still there, still faint, but it came up a bit faster. I'm not getting my hopes up too much ATM, but on Tuesday b/f my FS app. I will use the digital HPT, that is either gonna say pg or not pg. I still have a little hope and am feeling hopeful, but will only celebrate if BFP is confirmed with the BT.

GL everyone, keep your faith and big hugs to all

Beata xxx

Thanks girls but AF has arrived.
Its funny you know when i did my first cycle back in 2007 and falling pg with my now DD
first time and getting 4 blasties to freeze.
I felt like the luckiest woman alive.
These last two fet i was thinking well the hard work is over.
No drug just bting, to easy i was thinking. Well i was very wrong.
I guess this is the rollercoaster part.
I wish the rest of you girls the best of luck in taking home a special little bundle of joy.

Hey Darling Gals,

I am shaking. Shaking like a leaf. I cracked last night and made DH take me to the 24 hour chemist. Bought 1 hpt. Did it this morning... omg second line came up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is fainter than the control line but its there. Called FS and asked how long pregnal stays in the system and he said 4 days 5 tops. I had my last one 8 days ago...

I am not freaking out however. BT tomorrow.

But ****, ITS A SECOND LINE.

ok, gonna calm down now...

Mumofsix and KayKay. I am so sorry sweeties. :( :( :( It is a freaking long hard road. No words can make you feel better right now except, KEEP GOING. Every cycle holds hope. My heart is breaking for you both though... :(

Mumofsix, I'm sorry hun. Wish things turned out differently for you :hug: Wishing you every success in the future x

Sammie, sounds promising hun. A second line is a second line, no matter how light is is! GL for your BT tomorrow, hope to hear of a BFP from you then :pray:

GL to everyone else :crossfingers:

B xxx

:hug:oh no mumof6 im very sorry hunny ive been stalking you and this is wrong hun but know im thinking of you .keep going hun and take care xxoo

to all you beafiduls stay strong your dreams will come true..good things come to those who wait and your all SOOOOOO GOOD at waiting and being patient so hang in there my friends you will all get your bubbas i believe xxoo

Ladies,

My :hug: to the ladies with BFNs. My heart is with you.

GL to those testing this week (and avoiding those HPTs, like me!)

AFM, I'm going a bit spare. I'm 9dpo, 7dp2dt. I've had a few light stabs in my LHS, but tonight I have strange niggly cramps right across my lower middle. If AF is to arrive, cramps shouldn't start until *maybe* Wednesday or Thursday, with Day 1 next Friday. I'd like to ignore them, and think I've been doing a good job of ignoring other twinges in the past week, but the cramps I'm feeling now are annoying me and won't let me ignore them. So frustrating.

I spose all I can do is remember that whether these are baby cramps or AF cramps, there's nothing I can do either way except go back to the TWW.

Hope you all had a good weekend,
Seph

Hi girls

Well I'm out. My natural cycle has failed me (not that I was really expecting anything from it), and AF arrived proper today. The annoying thing is that before today, there was a 3 day lead up with spotting. Today is 13dpo for me, which means I started spotting on 10dpo. We have an appointment with our FS on 27 July, so I'm going to ask her then about short luteal phases, because I think I may have them. It might just be one more thing that's contributing to us not being able to get pregnant. Which is just what I need.... more problems.

Since having this natural cycle break from IVF, we'll now be heading into a FET cycle, so I need to conserve my positive energy for that. I'm also going to look at starting some acupuncture this cycle too. Never done it before, but thought what the hell, I may as well try and do whatever I can to help me fall pregnant.

Sorry to everyone else who's had BFN's too. It really sucks.

Good luck to everyone testing this week. From the posts I've read over the weekend, it looks like there might be some BFP's in here.

Wishes xoxo

Wishes, I'm so sorry AF arrived hun :hug:. I think AP is a step in the right direction. I really hope it works for you, I've heard a lot of great stuff about it now. In fact, if I'm blessed with a BFP in this cycle, I will go and have AP during my pg as I will be a nervous wreck during it. For me, getting a BFP is obviously the answer to my prayers, but I will not relax until I have that baby in my arms, healthy and well. So I think AP will help me with my anxiety.
GL hun in your next cycle, I hope it's successful for you.

Beata xxx

Pretty sure I'm out again this month girls, I've got the same cramps that I had this time last month. Another one bites the dust. Never thought I'd be heading for a sixth ET.
Hope you are all doing okay,
Seph

Hi Ladies,

Well I'm out also. Good old AF arrived yesterday morning. Well, I surpose I expected it, with getting the Flu and having really high temperatures and night sweats.
I'm taking a month off, and going to Dr Sacks for Immunology test. Just got a gut feeling and need him to answer some question that my FS couldn't.

I would just like to wish all you girls the best of luck. May you all get your :bfp: this month.

Sending you all lots of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:

♥

Danyelle

Persephone and Danyelle. I am so sorry. I know that there are no words that are going to take the pain away but please know my heart is with you.

Please try to keep hope. Dont give up yet, it sometimes seems like its never going to happen BUT IT DOES.

A million hugs,

Sammie.

So many highs and lows in here.
Danyelle, Persephone, Mumofsix & wishes so sorry to hear that things haven't worked out this month. My thoughts are with you, it is draining emotionally and physically. Try to stay strong - easy words to write, sometimes harder to do.

Sammie and Beata - I still get goose bumps every time I see news like that. I'll whisper "congratulations" and best of luck for you BT's. Very happy for you both xo

Thanks Sammie,

No, I definately not giving up just yet.
I just feel that I need a little break while I do all the test with Dr Sacks.
So here's hoping that Dr Sacks finds a reason for me not getting a BFP.

Good Luck everyone

Danyelle

Ok girls, I think I have officially GONE OVER THE EDGE.

Had bt this morning. I am eagerly awaiting the results. (the not crazy part)

HOWEVER - an hour ago I took myself down to the chemist (with mobs tucked in bra so there was NO WAY I could miss a call) and bought myself 6, yes count them 6 HPT's!

I have already ripped through 3 of them - all are BFP. Will I continue on this insane course of action until that damn phone rings? I am fairly certain I will.

I will distract myself with food for the next hour. Will test again at 2pm if clinic hasnt called. DH will be forced to committ me to "care" if I havent heard anything by 3.30 so they better DAMN WELL RING. asap.

Ok, back to normal scheduled programming...

Hi Sammiejam, just has to reply to you as you made me laugh, I ended up calling at 1.00 pm for the results as I could not wait, the hcg result was already in but the progesterone normally doesn't come in until later/takes longer, that is why you have to wait so long, so you could call them and get your hcg levels at the least. I went through City Fertility Brisbane, I think most clinics are the same. All the best for great levels!

Danyelle, I hope Dr Sacks can give you some answers and some new hope.

Janie, the biggest congrats to you, wonderful news. GL for Thur.

Love and best wishes to everyone else xx

SAMMIEJAM... I to had to reply aswell as it made me laugh.
This whole thing sends us into crazy manic's.
Goodluck for great levels:pray:

Well, down to 5 tests and no call yet.

Still bfp on the poas.

Am going to in 15 minutes. I can feel all the GL cyber vibes comin' through.

Will post as soon as I know something other than what the poas is telling me!

Hugs to my gals.

Sammie

Hi Sammie,

I thought I'd check in and see how the other two week waiters were going on their journey. You sound just like me only I bought a pack of two.. Waiting for that call for the news you so dearly want is nerve racking but all those postives at home surely must be a good sign..
Here's hoping so.
HUGS and LOTS OF GL vibes sent your way :pray:

WLAB: How long til your BT, have been thinking of you.

Hi Everyone,

Just popping in to say hi.

I have been TTC #2 for nearly 3 years and am currently 9DPET on my first IVF cylce. I have been trying to hold off from the TWW thread to kind of break my TWW up a bit ((ie trying to ignore it (the TWW, not the thread) for as long as I can.:hiding: But it's kind of like the white elephant in the room - you can't ignore it)) So I am just about at bursting point right now and still have another 9 days until BT (1/2 way there)

This is driving me a little nuts. Have had cramping and extremely tender BB's, but this could all be from the crinone.

Trying to forget that I also have about 3 packs of HPT's laying around the house and banning myself from POAS (for now)

Wishing all you ladies in their TWW lots of luck for BFP's this month:goodluck:

Hey ladies

Thank you for thinking of me, unfortunatly AF arrived yesterday (cd26), I have made an appointment with the FS for this Wed to continue on the next step of this unbelievable journey

Best of luck for all you lovely ladies waiting xx

Babydreams - I will PM you now your a member hun x

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!


:bfp:


OMG. Its real. I am UP THE DUFF.

Trying to calm down and not hyperventilate...

The level is 450 which my FS is excellent. Clinic said there is a chance that it could be twinnies? Anyone know anything about that?
