LTTTC Two Week Wait - March/April 09

Hi Smurfet. Welcome on board. I also get cramping during my whole 2ww. As soon as I start the first pregnyl injection to the last, it feels like AF is coming up around the bend. It's very normal! GL!

Hi everyone,

Smurfet, welcome, your are among friends here. I always get cramping, and very AF feeling pains, this is normally as a result of the progesterone support or pregynl, but could also be associated with implantation. Everyone always suggests to ignore all symptoms, but it is very hard not to analyse everthing. I have been getting sharp pinching pains in both ovaries for the last few days, I have not idea what this would be, assuming the progesterone? Just praying for a BFP.

Rob, GL for your EPU next week.
JBM hope you are well.
Hi to everyone else.

Anyone else in the TWW?

Hi Everyone

I am here with you in the TWW - I try to avoid posting much because it actually increases my anxiety - but I hope we all have sticky babies.

Anyway, I to make sure you see this thread - as it is obviously very important to all of us: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post1709617

Thanks!

Buliej- i hope this is your turn Julie!! fingers crossed

Baby dreamtime...wishing you the best of luck and hoping for that BFP!

smurfet- welcome and good luck, I think the cramps are pretty common

good luck everyone else

Hi girls
BDT - i have also had those sharp pinchy pains in my ovaries and i take the prog support. I am so aware of every little twinge and wonder what is is but have to wait til 27th...

Welcome Smurfet. :hello:

Good Luck Buliej.
Also forgot to say congrats to Azzrenae and Miss M. Wonderful news. :bluecheer:

Hi all

Smurfet - Hi and GL with your TWW. My first and last cycle with IUI, I had a lot of symptoms that I thought may have meant I was pg. For me it turned out negative but some people of course do get BFP's. I think it is always best to stay positive but try not (if possible) to get your hopes up too much. Just my thoughts, but you will get plenty of support in here. I will have :crossfingers: for you that it is in fact a BFP. :goodluck:

:hello: to everyone else and I hope to be joining you in here soon. I'm on CD42 and still waiting for AF, organising BT in a week if she still hasnt arrived then.

All the best to everyone

Sorry girls just dropping in to make you aware of this thread - we need to do something otherwise the Safety net will be taken away from us.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes and advise, I actually rang my FS today cos i was worried and plus i had to get result for my 21 day blood test.
She said i had high levels of progesterone which is a good sign hey!! :)
So I'm trying not to get my hopes us either, but heavens it's hard not to!!!
Good luck to everyone for the rest of this time

One week to go!!:clap:

Hi All,

Hope all are going well with the TWW, I am in the monitering stage for a natural FET. I have had BT's the past 2 mornings and have another one tomorrow morning. This is a little strange for me as my past 2 FET have only ever had 1 BT on day 11 and then on the embryo transfer. Clinic did not say much this afternoon other than to return in the morning. My levels from yesterdays test was LH=7 and the other reading was 700. Can anyone shed any light on these figures?

xxRobxx all going well I should have FET on 25 March as well so :crossfingers: we will be in the 2WW together.

:goodluck: to everyone on here.

:grouphug:

Laniwantsababy - I am apparantly having TF on 24th now but we will still be in TWW together :crossfingers: for us all

AF is here in force, she came yesterday so will do a test on fri cause i have to but know it is over.

good luck to all those still waiting. xx

JBM- Sorry to hear AF arrived. Try and stay positive :grouphug:

xxRobxx- That's great transfer is Tuesday :crossfingers: I will be right near you.

:goodluck: to everyone else

:grouphug: to all in 2WW

:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

:bluedust::pink-babydust: to all

xoxox

JBM so soryy for AF hun. :hug: xx Take care of yourself. I am here to talk if you need to.

Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking in the background and not posting during my TWW but I just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck. I'm afraid I'm out for this cycle (our second) - AF arrived yesterday and is making her presence known today. I was very upset yesterday but my loving DH and dear friends have helped me through and I'm ready for the next cycle. Unfortunately I've got a four hour round trip for my blood test tomorrow!

All the best and be nice to yourselves,
Ali

Sorry JBM I kept popping in to see how you were going that darn AF:comfort:

JBM, I am so sorry hunny, I was hoping this was your month. I will wait eagerly to hear what is next for you. Biggest hugs.

Ali, so sorry to hear your news also, take care.

Buliej, GL to you in the TWW, I hope you are keeping occupied and it is not doing your head in. Praying for a BFP for you.

AFM, well despite my extra positivity as to why I thought this cycle would work, I am feeling like it will be a BFN. I know it is possibly too early, but today at 10dpo I did a POAS with a Lullaby Conceptions 10 miu, and BFN. Yes I know, may be too early, but these are super sensitive. Whilst I haven't totally broken down into a blubbering mess, I have rung my FS and made an appointment to see her on Monday to go straight into a flare cycle. AF is due on Sunday and I have no doubt she will arrive. I haven't even begun to think about what yet another BFN means for me, and how I feel about moving forward, but I can't stand still.

Best of luck to everyone else.

Babydreamtime - so sorry about the POAS result - I do hope it's wrong and you just took it too early.

I'm not very optimistic about this cycle - I want to change FS (I have an appointment with a new one at the end of April) and only did this one with my current because I didn't want to go so long between cycles. I'm sure I will be doing POAS shortly - although I'm only 6 dpo. I just have to wait for the weekend and will take it Monday or Tuesday - I won't be able to wait much longer!

Everyone - please take a look at the thread on the Safety Net - https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...y-net-ivf.html - I hope everyone realizes how important it is to express yourself to the elected officials. I read an article recently that people are used to venting online - in forums, comments to online newspapers all which has a purpose - BUT this has really been a disservice in terms of doing something that has impact because elected officials don't necessarily care about this - it's the direct letters and direct pleas that matter. I have never written a letter to a government official before, but this is just too important to say "well, others will do it" - the government needs to hear from as many people as possible.

The safety net issue could impact ANYONE seeking IVF (one of the things being considered is excluding IVF from the safety net full stop).

Don't think that we can't make a difference - if you go to the above thread, you will see where Dusty recalls other cuts to IVF being considered a few years ago and they weren't adopted because of the uproar - PLEASE EVERYONE, WRITE A LETTER - IT TAKES 15 MINUTES

Hi girls,

Just popping in to send LOTS of :bluedust: and :stickyvibesgirl:

BDT - I reckon its too early to tell as yet. Hang in there and dont give up hope.

JBM - Sorry to hear AF arrived :hug:

Ali - sorry to hear that AF also arrived. Glad you have lots of support.


Take care,

Tania

Hi Everyone

I'm jumping in here for the rest of my TWW.

I've got one beautiful little leprechaun on board (received on St Pats day - couldn't be called anything else)! and am testing on Sat 28.

I was terribly nervous before the transfer because it was our last little frostie and I was worried because it was significantly lower grade than the others that we have tried. But it turned out to be the best when it counted so I am feeling really positive at the moment (give me another week and I will be a nervous wreck!)

Sending everyone :bluedust::pink-babydust:

Muppity- good luck!

baby dreamtime- i really hope it was just too early to POAS..fingers crossed

buliej- hold off a bit longer...the POAS really can be stressful if done too early- hoping this is your month

alipetrina- sorry it wasnt your turn

JBM- big hugs...darn AF! I am so sorry it didnt happen this time

good luck to those i may have missed

Baby Dreamtime : I hope the poas is incorrect, sorry if it doesnt work out for you sweets

Muppity: Sticky Vibes for your little leprachaun

Bulliej : Glad your Safety Net crusade is keeping you busy, and GL for Monday or Tuesday

Hi to anyone I missed (sorry)


AFM: Two on board today, my FS was the most postitive I have ever heard so I am happy as can be expected : Bring on a BFP for an early christmas pressie I say :dance:


:bluedust::stickyvibesgirl: for all us gorgeous girls : We deserve it and we deserve a BFP

WLAB - glad to see you hear - with 2 on board!!

Muppity - sticky vibes from me as well

Possums - hi - hope you are doing well, I think it must be next week that you get the results of all your tests.

I haven't POAS - even thought the 3 boxes of POAS tests in our bathroom are really tempting - but it's just too early. I'm also really mad at myself. As you all know, I've been obsessing over this whole safety net thing - which has been great as I almost forget about the TWW - but I think I forgot too much. When I got home, I went on a cleaning binge and lifted a large pile of magazines off the floor to dump into the rubbish bin. When I lifted and stood, I felt a twinge in my abdomen and now I'm a bit freaked. If I am pregnant and just jeopardized it, I'll never forgive myself.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi to any others I missed.

Hi Everyone,

Well EPU went well, we got 23 :egg: will know tomorrow how many actually :fertilise:. T/F on Tuesday so I shall be here for the TWW.

:goodluck: to everyone, lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: and :pink-babydust::bluedust: to all.

xxRobxx- Excellent numbers from EPU :crossfingers: Keep us updated on the progress of them all.

buliej- Sticky vibes for you

Wouldloveabubba- All the best with your 2 on board.

Muppity- Stick little leprechaun

Babydreamtime- I hope it was too early for a POAS, fingers crossed for you.

Hope everyone else is progressing nicely send lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust:

AFM- Had BT this morning and have had a nice spike and now scheduled for frozen transfer of a Blastocyst next Friday. Have first session of Acupuncture on Monday. Has anyone else done acupuncture? Not sure what I am in for.

Sending positive energy to all.

Hoping for a nice Christmas present.

:grouphug:

Hi everyone,

Just dropping in to say that my POAS are still showing BFN, today is 12dpo and AF is due tomorrow, which I fully expect to arrive. Now just waiting for my appointment on Monday with my FS to talk about my next cycle. I have had my cry, I feel devastated, and am rapidly loosing hope but can only go forward. This is not getting any easier.

Buliej, hope you are well and thinking of you and praying you get your BFP this month.

Ali, congrats on getting a BFP, but so sorry to hear re your prog levels, hoping the extra crinone makes all the difference. Take heart that you have your BFP.

Rob, congrats on a great EPU, all the best for ET.

Muppity, I just know you will have the best of luck with your leprechaun, only a week to go to test, hope it goes by speedily.

Possums, hi, hope you are well, I am checking on you and wishing you the best.

Tania, hi, thanks for dropping in.

WLAB, yay, congrats on two on board, I hope this is the month for you, sorry to hear you are having issues with cramping, hope they settle down. Praying for a BFP for you.

Lani, good luck with your ET next week, all the best for your TWW.

Hi to everyone else, if I have missed you, wishing you all the best for your TWW.

BDT- Many :hug: to you. So sorry to hear of your POAS BFNs I was really hoping that the new protocol (ie meds) was what was going to give you your long awaited BFP. Try not to lose hope, I know how very hard and devastating the thought of another BFN can seem. Remember, you have only had 1 tf with the new meds just because it may not have worked this cycle does not mean it never will. Take it easy, be kind to yourself Ill be thinking of you

I'm so sorry BDT.. I was really hoping that this was going to be your time. Good to see that you are rearing to go again though. We'll definitely have to catch up for that coffee and rope Mollygirl in too.. Take care sweetie.. I'm thinking of you..

I knew this would happen - I succumbed to a POAS last night (Saturday night) - 7 days after my day 2 embryo transfer (way too early) - I got the faintest hint of a second line - it was there, but barely. Now I have regrets (as DH predicted) because there's still 5 days before BT and if it turns negative, I'll know that I had a chemical pregnancy and be really bummed.

The next 5 days will be so hard. For better or for worse, I can expect work to be extremely busy - unlike last week when I treated the whole Medicare coverage of IVF as my job.

Sending sticky vibes to all you other TWW-ers!

buliej- fingers crossed. It's so horrible waiting in this last stretch. hang in there.

BDT- I am really sorry for thenegagtive tests... I so wanted this to be your turn. hugs


sorry i dont have time to write more to everyone else just now...but wishing you all the best of luck!

Julie : OMG .. I know you are cautious, but still a second line, even if it is feint, is great news. I had a feeling about you and this change of protocol. I hope you poas every day and see it get darker and darker ... fc for you

Hi everyone,
AF arrived this morning, I still did my BT as I am curious as to what my prog levels are, just for interest sake. I am off to see FS today to see what is next. Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes anyway.

Dee, sorry I can't recommend Wendy, she was obviously wrong. Hope you are well.

Dutchie, thanks for your words, I am trying to hold hope that this was only the first cycle on the meds. GL to you for your cycle also.

Julie, OMG x 2, that sounds wonderful and very promising, I hope it is confirmed with your BT, all the best.

Muppity, GL, hope you are doing well.

Possums, thinking of you.

Hi to everyone else, GL in the TWW.

BDT- sorry about AF...good luck with making a plan for the next step

julie- have you POAS again? I know I would keep doing them to see if the line gets darker! I really hope so...you must feel a bubble of cautious excitement, along with the nervousness..that's how I normally feel. Have everything crossed... and yes, test results for me this week, thanks for checking.

I did POAS - still a 2nd line - but no darker :doh: You have described my feelings to a T - I'm so nervous I don't know what to do with myself. And DH won't get excited with me - not after last time...he said he won't get excited until I'm 12 weeks!:(

I understand. We no longer feel unbridled joy and excitement when there are two lines, not after the three false starts we've now had. yet despite that I always feel a quiet simmering excitement and hope..that this will be the one! This could be your baby. I so hope so Julie. Hang in there. I am always beside myself with nerves also. Unfortunately that doesn't going away in the first trimester either.

afm- I think I should be Ovulating soon...so then I'll beback here again.

Baby Dreamtime : Good luck with yoour FS appointment today, and hopefully you are right, give these meds a chance to settle in then you will your well deserved BFP

Julie: Glad the line is still there, fc it keeps getting darker,

Hi to everyone

AFM: 3 days post et and stil getting twinges, I had to sit down and let it settle before, listening to my body. My energy levels have come back today, so I feel wonderful compared to every day since the start of af, I was beginning to wonder if I had cronic fatique syndrome, now I know it's not that, the meds and the epu just take it out of me. Yayyyyy I am back on track

WLAB - I think twinges are a positive sign - sticky vibes!

Babydreamtime - let us know what your FS recommends for you.

double post

Hi Girls
BDT - good luck today.
WLAB - i am still feeling my ovaries since my EPU and the meds and i get tired too and twingey. Hope it is a good sign!
Buliej - hope the line gets darker every day!

Good luck to everyone else.

Quick questions - what brand of HPT is a sensitive one?
Emma

EmmaPenguin - I like First Response - they make at least 2 types - I go for the fancier ones - they look like a thermometer but instead of going in your mouth they have a felt tip that you aim for :lol: - there's a plastic lid that goes back over the felt tip while you wait for the response. This is just my opinion - I'm sure everyone has their preference. Good Luck!

Buliej - fingers crossed!! something to keep in mind, the lines might not get darker every day because it takes a while for the hcg to increase and then get into your system. I really hope this is good news for you!

BDT - I'm so sorry. I really had everything crossed for you. I hope you're doing ok.

Possums - good luck this week for your results.
