LTTTC Two Week Wait - March 2008 #1

[Shannon22]

Hi Ladies

Well i am jumping in to join you

Will have a read and catch up on everyone.

I had two day 5 blastys transferred last Tuesday in an interesting FET, we had 4 day 1 embryos frozen from our last OHSS cycle where we didn't get to transfer so we still had to thaw and then grow to blast before transfer and were very lucky at least 2 made it!

So now we wait, DH and i have been on holidays all week and got home this morning. Wishing you all BFP's!!

Hi all

Well af was due yesterday and hasn't come - but I am cramping like its on the way. I suspect something tried to happen but low hcg again - like a chemical pregnancy.....
I just sent DP out to get a HPT just to make sure. I don't want to get my hopes up given i got a BFN 12 dpo.....

Its probably just a low hcg - something I think tried to happen as my skin broke out terribly - like the last time when it was a chem preg.... oh well I guess it will be what it will be - but I am not confident !!!!

Ill keep you up to date

Well i think I am out as well. My ovary pain has changed to AF cramps. Tempted to do POAS but it is only 3 days since my last injection so it will show up still. Well I guess if it comes back neg than i am not preg. And i could enjoy a big easter drink. Well i must say I am going insane this time. The TWW is going to do me in. I guess there are alot of decisions to be made that are resting on the outcome of the Bt on Tuesday. Going to have a lie down feel rather yuck.

Oh by the way waiting,i have had a lovely break out as well. Doesn't it make the whole thing just great not only are your hormonesraging like a fifteen year old you now have the face of one as well. Lovely!!!

saph, when is your blood test due, hun? Don't give up hope yet! Cramps can be a sign of rising progesterone levels, and not just because of AF about to arrive! Breaking out is another sign of rising hormone levels - it's too hard to read into the cause of this, so just hang in there - it's not over yet!

waiting - AF hasn't arrived on time! This is the best sign at the moment! As I said to saph, cramping like AF doesn't necessarily mean AF, hun. Hang in there - only a few more days til BT. POAS really can confuse things and mess with you. Please try not to read too much into anything yet. Just got to take one day at a time until you get to BT You can't know what has happened until you see those HCG levels on a BT, hun.

Carla, I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm sending many warm wishes your way. I hope that the spotting is not what you think it is (like I've said above to both saph and waiting, it's not over till BT!), but if this cycle turns out to be bust, I hope that you're alright and we really hope to see you again soon so we can continue to support you.

[saph204]

Miss C thanks for the encouraging words. It is so easy to become negative in this game. With my DS I waited for three weeks for Af to arrive with the same cramping and guess what I was already seven weeks.This arvo cramping has gone back to in my ovaries and is more like stitch when i move the wrong way. Oh role on tuesday this is making me insane. Was looking at bed for my DS today incase i need to kick him out of cot but decided to wait till tues not point upsetting the apple cart if it is for nothing.

Hope everyone is having a lovely easter.

[waiting1]

Love Waiting......

Awww hon I'm so sorry
(((HUGS)))

[Carla MP]

Saph and Waiting...Im so sorry..its so hard on the old head and body isnt it.....
Miss C..thankyou so much for you kind words.
Im not really sure what is going on at the moment. AF stillhasnt arrived. On Friday night I had a spot of a small amount of brown (TMI SORY) only when I wiped so was devastated....POAS Saturday morning and got negative..had another spot of brown only when I wiped this morning. But AF was due Saturday. Spoke to my nurse and she said that it might have been too early to test but didnt want to give me hope. Feels like AF is trying to break through but nothing. I am regular so I should have seen AF yesterday or would have thought this morning but nothing. i dont want to get my hopes up as brown spotting this far down the track usnt a good sign but where is AF? I am still going in for my BT Tuesday but not looking like it will be good news.
We only have one egg left and am scared tog o again as going for anothe Stim cycle and an EPU scares me and to tell you the truth, we dont have the money to do so. Might have an appointment with my FS on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the next step whether to have a break or touse the last embie. Im not sure and Im so confused.
Im wondering whether AF is tryng to arrive I have the worst lower back pain which is usually a sign of the wicked witch.
Spent the whole day yesterday in tears..this one has really affected me...tried to go shopping but had to run abck to the car as I was in KMart buying a bean bag and burst into tears...what a freak...Im sure thats what the sales assistant thought of me...we had to go out for dinner last night for my DH's family that were here from Melbourne and was in the worst mood....theymust think Im such a lovely person being that way all night..they dont know anything..OH WELL.....we all have bad days.

My girlfriend from the Sunshine coast is about to arrive to stay the night and visit with hre kids and cant wait..the poor thing will arrive to a friend in tears..but luckily she is close to me and I can do that.....has been on this jouorney with us from day dot.

Well Im sorry to here AF arrived for some of you.

Bec D...good luck today sweetie..........BFP coming your way!

[saph204]

Carla it is so hard to keep all your emotions in check. Sometimes it all just gets to much. I was like that this cycle put it this way, even I though I was nuts and had to ask the murse if this was normal. Your family will understand that this is a very difficult time for you.

We are going to have a break after this cycle if BFN just to get our heads together again.

Glad AF hasn't arrived, When i fell Preg with my son I had Af symptoms for three weeks and Brown spotting (at six weeks) before i found out i was preg at seven weeks so i have my fingers crossed for you. ( We had just started the 12 months of TTC after being told we would not fall preg naturally but had to try for 12 months anyway, oops how wrong they were) I tell you what tues cant come quick enough.

[Acacia]

waiting - I'm sorry, hun You are such a trooper, I tell you. We always see you with your chin up. I hope you're doing ok, and I will keep hoping that the next one is the one, for you and me both

carla, saph - you two have been so strong with all the confusing and difficult signs and symptoms you have been going through, both of you. Carla, it's completely normal to be emotional right now - we all understand - the TWW puts us under a great deal of pressure and stress.

Hang in there, both of you. I will have everything crossed for your BTs tomorrow and will look forward to hearing *lots* of good news. Everything is so promising for you both!

Many hugs!

[Carla MP]

THanks Miss C
Im not too confident with the BT tomorrow. Although AF still hasnt arrived but I have brown spotting every now and then..not alot at all but sometimes when I go to the toilet it is there, this started Friday night...still no Af when she was supposed to come Saturday so Im kinda confused. i feel like I have a bit of pain down there but not really AF pains....who knows. Was going to POAS today but Im pretty sure its a BFN so am tired of spending sooooo much money on HPT....just thought I would wait for the BFN tomorrow!!!
Hope everyone is doing ok...its such a tough time.....i guess it makes us stronger.

[dusty]

hey lovely carla, i hope you have the biggest surprise of all tomorrow hun, are you on pessaries/crinone gel as that can cause brown discharge and cramping that confuses us girls no end.

hi all, i hope to join you in here in a couple of days if we get any fertilisations of my 2 eggs from EPU today. wishing you all the best.
xx

[Carla MP]

Hey Dusty
Long time no speak...HOW ARE YOU??????
I am on pessaries. I didnt need to go on them but was so anxious about it all this time that my FS said I could and it would hurt. BUT...I stopped taking them on Friday night when I spotted....didnt think I would be needing to anymore...
Still no AF...do you really think I still could be? Why am I spotting brownish stuff then.....I havent taken a pessarie since Thursday night. The cramps are kinda like wanting to pee and holding it...full bladder type...everywhere not just down low...across each side too.
Im still not getting my hopes up though.....I love the way you always make me feel better Dusty.
My boobs feel like they are about to explode.....I think AF is trying to break through actually!! Well only time will tell I gues..
Hope your doing ok Dust...It was great to hear from you.

[saph204]

Carla
I have got my fingers crossed for us today. Best of luck (people keep saying that to me but there is no luck involved today it either is or it isn't) I am sure we are going to both get BFP. Well going to have breakfast and go off for the blood test will eep you informekd. to us both.

[Carla MP]

Hey Saph...
GL to you too darlink!!!! I have been for mine but not looking great.....I keep getting positive vibes because AF isnt here yet but then I think of the brownish spotting I got every now and then so then all that positive goes back to a negative.....who knows....I cant stop thinking about it....It driving me nuts..
Cant wait to hear from you with the BFP news!!!

[Acacia]

Saph, looking forward to hearing your news. To me it's sounds like you are quietly confident, and I believe you are right to trust your instinct - everyone has instincts for a reason. I hope the wait for BT results today is quick!

Carla, if you haven't taken the pessaries since Thursday night and it is now Tuesday and AF hasn't arrived, I would think this was very encouraging! I got AF on the third day after stopping the pessaries on my last BFN cycle (i.e. stopped pessaries on a Sunday night, light AF started on Wednesday). I believe it normally only takes a couple of days for AF to arrive after stopping pessaries if you've had a BFN - you haven't got AF yet, so this is really good! The brown spotting can happen when you miss a dose/stop taking the pessaries. I think some doctors refer to it as breakthrough bleeding. I hope you have a wonderful phone call soon, hun! I'm feeling very hopeful and positive for you!

[Shannon22]

Good luck today Carla & Saph can't wait to hear your BFP's!!!
