LTTTC Two Week Wait - May/June 2008

[*Paula*]

Hello ladies, i thought it was time that i join this thread. I had my ET on Friday 23rd May and have my blood test set for 6 June (as per my signature). I am on the crinone also, twice a day morning and night. Other than the yucky discharge (sorry TMI) i havent really felt much else. I had minor cramps Friday and slightly on Saturday but yesterday and today i have been cramp free. Now i dont know if this is a good thing or bad thing Anyway, looking forward to joining you all on this long TWW journey!

Any news Mon???

Hi Gals .... IT's a BFP!!! Yay! I cant believe it still!
My HCG was 27 and Prog 54 which they were happy with. I need to go back on Thurs for another BT as they want the levels to double!
Am still in shock and have a headache from the tension build up and the crazy busy day at work I have had! So now looking forward to going home and letting it all sink in!
Thanks ladies for all your support! Cheering you all on and looking forward to seeing some more BFPs!

YAY MON!!!! here they are



best wishes for next BT and here's hoping for a happy and healthy pregnancy...

me- AF due today and have had cramping back ache and slight spotting. i did POAS and had a BFN. so not holding my breath. i believe the crinone is only just holding AF away but the witch is about to win the battle again... oh well. 1 embie to go. here's hoping to join Mon in a few months time...

Hi Everyone,

Just thought I would pop my head in as I will hopefully be joining the TWW tomorrow. Had my EPU yesterday and 12 eggs were collected.

Congrats Mon on your BFP... that is wonderful news.

Well hoping to see you all in here shortly.

Hey Janie thats fantastic. Hope you get a good fertilisation number too.

[Janie71]

Thanks for your good wishes Paula... how are you going???

Well I will be officially joining you all tomorrow. Et scheduled for 9:40am. Nurse couldn't give me any more details on how many fertilised etc, but she said that FS would have rung and ET would not be booked if none had fertlised.

So now just praying that our little embie's make it through tonight. I really feel so attached to them already.

Janie thats great! ET will be a breeze and im sure you will have some great news in two weeks time.

Im doing ok i guess. Not really feeling any cramps or anything at the moment. Like i said before, not sure if its a good thing or not?! Still drinking my 3 ltrs of water a day and using the crinone. Will you be using it too?

[Mon]

Gals thanks for your well wishes!

Paula all the best with the 2WW. Look forward to hearing your good news as well! Prof Chapman is great! Am sure he will get you UTD!!!! Good luck hun! I'll be watching out

Janie ... congrats on your 12 eggs collected! GL tomorrow for your ET!!!!

[Janie71]

Thanks Mon!

Paula, I will be using Crinone too... at the moment I believe that it will be once a day, but the FS will confirm with me tomorrow. From what i have read it is not the most pleasant thing to use, but then what is with IVF!

Looking forward to officially joining you tomorrow. My BB's are already sore from the trigger shot, and my ovaries feel like they have been bashed around a bit in the EPU yesterday.

Well everyone, I am officially in the TWW. Had a beautiful 2 day, 4 cell embie transferred this morning... I'm in love already!

Great news is we have got 6 or 7 that can be frozen too. FS was thrilled with our results as were me and my DH. Start on Crinone tonight, once daily. Blood test is on 11/06/2008... I'm sure it is going to be a loooooong two weeks!

I have to say it was pretty cool to be able to see the embie on the screen prior to transfer... that just rocked my world!

Hope everyone is well.

to all.

had BT this morning. get results in 3 hours. but i know its a BFN as i have had AF for 2 days now... quite sad as this is our fifth transfer and we only have one embie left.

[JBM]

try to be positive sonya, i know it's hard but phone your fs or clinic as a small amount of blood is normal, even a lot if no cramping or clots, lots of prayers for you

well its BFN for me. but for the second time my progesterone is so high my body thinks i am pregnant. the nurse said its strange i have AF with those levels and they were going to request another bloods if AF hadnt come in the next few days.

so wait till next cycle and then prepare for FET.

nurse even said to see FS soon and organise drugs for another stim cycle as i may be able to start straight after next transfer if it doesnt take. its lovely to think they so organised but i honestly dont know if i will be able to mentally or financially afford another full cycle. lets hope my bubsicle defrosts and sticks

i will be back in a couple of months but i expect to see you all in the pregnancy after long term TTC.

bye bye.

[numa]

So sorry to here of your BFN Sonya. All the best for your next little bubsicle, it could be the one

[*Paula*]

So sorry to hear that Sonya. Hope this is your "lucky" last embie. Best of luck.

Janie how are you feeling?

[Janie71]

Sonya I'm so sorry that this was not your cycle. Big for you and that the next cycle will be the one.

Paula, I'm very well thanks for asking. Feeling some tightness in my stomach and a bit of cramping, but I think a lot of that is still from the EPU. Had my first lot of Crinone last night and can't notice any side effects as of yet, but it is early days! Other than that, I've got sore BB's from the trigger injection. I'm feeling really excited, but trying to stay realistic at the same time. We didn't know that my DH had sperm problems until we started on the IVF, so we had to go to ICSI. So I am hoping that this may have been part of the reason that we didn't fall during the OI and as such a good reason that the IVF/ICSI could work . I have to say that I feel wonderful just knowing that I have a little embie inside me... I have never been pregnant before, so this is the closest to it I have ever been.

How are you doing? You have almost got the first week down now... so it is the OWW for you!
