LTTTC Two Week Wait - Nov to Dec

[Lenny]

Hi all,
Please remember that guidelines prohibit "double-posting" across different LT TTC chatter threads - it makes them too long. We will start to delete these double posts if we come across them in the future.
Feel free to PM me, or the other mods if you wish to discuss this,
Thanks and best wishes to everyone,

Venus - Thanks for your well wishes for my EPU. Best of luck for Monday. Hope the weekend flies for you.

It all went well. We were expecting 8 follicles and a couple of `stragglers'.

BUT we ended up with 15 follicles - our highest number yet.

My FS called this morning. Of 15, two were non-injectible. So of 13 follicles, 11 have fertilised!

So now it's the dreaded TWW+5d (since our clinic tests two weeks after transfer).

Fingers crossed, hoping and praying our little embies are strong and continue growing. Kiss and hugs to them in their little petrie dishes. Transfer is scheduled for Wednesday.

Hi
It's been a while since I've been in here, but I've been lurking and reading. I was hoping I could come in and wait this awful two weeks out with you lovely ladies? DH and I have just started IVF, have little idea of what to expect, and are hoping for the best. Most aspects have gone fine, but transfer was rather traumatic because the embryologist knocked the dish holding our one embryo and lost it! 20 minutes later they found it and then the transfer went well, everyone saying the embryo was ok. Has anyone else heard of this happening and things being ok?

Quick stats for me: antagonist cycle (125 iu Puregon, orgalutran), 6 eggs collected, 1 immature, 3 eggs frozen, 1 fertilized with two sperm , 1 fertilized and transferred Day 3, Crinone and pregnyl. BT 9/12.

I hope to get up to speed and get to know all of you soon.

Hi ladies

Congrats to those of you who got your BFP recently. And i'm so sorry for those who didn't.

My TWW is going fine, i've been way to busy to obsess about it. Obviously its on my mind but not in a driving me crazy way.
Im not feeling anything much. Some cramping. Ive heard the crinone can make you crampy but i was using it for 4 days before transfer with no effects and the cramps started two days after transfer. But i wont read to much into it as it may just have a build up effect.

Hope your all well.
xx

Hi all you lovely ladies

Hope you're all surviving the TWW as best you can!

Brunette - congrats on the pick up - what a nice surprise to have more eggs than you were expecting!

Sal79, Venus, S'rose, wouldluvabubba - HI!!

Terry - hang in there, not too long til your test now, great that you're keeping busy this weekend.

Trubabe - sore BBs can never be a bad sign, can they?

AFM - still seems a looong way til my BT (if I make it that far, AF usually shows up before BT due). Found out yesterday that DH has to stay in PNG another week, so won't be around for the results. Having heaps of symptoms - fatigue, nausea, really sore BBs with tingly nipples, etc, but I'm trying to convince myself that they're all just side effects of the drugs, and that I've just talked myself into being UTD! At least I'm feeling tired so I can sleep away part of this dreaded TWW...

Hi to everyone I've missed, hope you're all doing OK.

Hi Everyone,

Well this is my very first post on this forum (or any forum like this). I'm not a shy person normally but for some unknown reason, I have some phobia of chat rooms and forums! So here I am conquering my phobia.

I, like most of you other lovely ladies, are currently in the TWW. This is my fourth (and most successful) IVF cycle so far but only my second TWW. I have severe endo; one ovary & tube have been removed and I have a low reserve in my remaining ovary. Despite all this and my first three cycles being unsuccessful, I am very optimistic about this one. I had my EPU on Tuesday 17th and was absolutely thrilled to wake up with 3 written on my hand!! All 3 fertilised (even more stoked) and I was scheduled for a transfer on Saturday 21st. On the Thursday though, I was admitted to hospital with excruciating pain in my abdomen and it turns out I had an infection (likely from EPU). I stayed in for 2 nights and was fed morphine and antibiotics through an IV. I was released on Saturday and my wonderful FS and embryologist agreed to do my transfer on Sunday for me. I had two blasties transferred. The third didn't make it to day 5.

So now I’m awaiting my BT which is on the 3rd. My first cycle was the only other one that I’ve successfully made it to transfer and the evil AF arrived the day before BT was due. I was devastated (as I’m sure you all can understand). This time though, I’m expecting a BFP!! I don’t have any symptoms of anything out of the ordinary and I feel completely normal (other than obvious effects of Crinone)... is this common in TWW?

Anyway... just wanted to say hi and congratulations to all of you who have finally gotten your BFP! And I’m very sorry to hear about those of you who haven’t - you'll have your time eventually - just like I will...
