LTTTC Two Week Wait - Nov to Dec

**Mrs P** · December 7th, 2009, 10:31 AM

BJ - so sorry hun. Go and hide in your 'cave' and take some time out for yourself.

To answer your question from your previous post, the 'spotting' was just like brown staining and a little on the toilet paper when I went to the loo. Was never red or pink, just brown. Was present a couple of times over two days.

Sal79 - you're so close now - only 2 more sleeps til BT!

AFM - had my BT this morning. Probably won't get the result for about 5 hours I think. Was the fastest and easiest blood collection I've ever had! I have now POAS four times, yes I am obsessed. My DH was really mad at me for testing early, he is trying to be sensible and telling me not to get too excited etc etc. He just wants to protect me as he has seen how devastated I have been previously. The thing is, as far as I can tell, the only reason for my +ve POAS is pg hormone in my urine, which either means I am pg or I was pg. Only a few hours to go - will be sure to post back either way.

Thanks Sammiejam for a fantastic post, it's very encouraging. I particular like the "nerves of steel" part, it's going to be my mantra for the next couple of days. I'm also learning to not speak of symptoms, but merely of side-effects of hormones. Slowly learning...

Yay Mrs P! Can't wait to hear confirmation, and then you and DH can celebrate together!

**Loops12** · December 7th, 2009, 12:01 PM

Sammiejam ~thanks for the lovely post - very encouraging

BJ and Jaki - so sorry for your neg's

. Hang in there and big hugs x. Hope you can both get back on the horse soon.

AFM ~ Ive had some weird lower tummy pains but not sure if its just constipation (sorry TMI). But is constipation a good thing when in a natural cycle? I have no idea. But going by Sammie's advice im not going to stress over it.
Cheers

Big

Guys, I need some help if anyone can. I feel like a total idiot and normally wouldn't admit to it, but I'm hoping someone else has done the same and can offer some advice ...
Okay, now I know I said I wasn't going to POAS but I succumbed this morning because I have been getting no symptoms and am slowly but surely losing my mind. I am 5dp 5d transfer (so 10dpo). I didn't do the test first thing in the morning. Anyway, it came back negative and then I checked the instructions properly and realised I had pee'd on the wrong end!

So I got out a new test and re-tested. Again, negative. I then grabbed the first test and also dipped that in the right end. This time the control test line appeared but nothing else.

So then I confessed to DH, cried most of the morning, and he came home at lunchtime to console me. He looked at the test packet and realised that the second test was a LH test to predict a surge for ovulation

I started to feel hope again as I thought they were both LH tests. The first one was a pregnacy test.

So my question is this: has anyone pee'd on the wrong end of the stick and then pee'd on the correct end, and had a positive result? God, I feel so stupid at the moment. I knew I shouldnt have done a HPT!

**littlemissmoo** · December 7th, 2009, 01:14 PM

Hi Everyone,

I've been posting in the other thread but I had my transfer done yesterday so thought I'd come join you lovely ladies here! We had a day 5 blasty transferred but only ended up with 2 for the freezer, which we were a bit dissapointed about as we started with 11 fertalised eggs.

Brunette - DON'T WORRY!! When I had my positive result, I don't think I showed a clear positive result until 8dpt. Also, I've bought a 10 pack of HPT, the ones where you wee in a cup & dip it in as I wanted to test out the trigger & pregnyl shots. It's been 7 days since I had my trigger but I had a pregnly 1500 shot yesterday & the test showed nothing, was a BFN!! So, if you've got the same type of tests I'd question how sensative they are as I know from past experience a HPT should be showing a reading for the pregnyl only 1 day after the injection. So please try not to worry

Mrs P - Good luck for today, I can now cross my legs again for you!!

**Brunette** · December 7th, 2009, 01:21 PM

Hey LittleMiss, thanks for the advice. I did numerous things wrong including probably being too early to test, not first morning pee, drank heaps of water prior to POAS and peed on the wrong end first! Talk about a total stuff-up. Still ... I don't feel good after not seeing a positive line.

Welcome to the TWW

**Daisie** · December 7th, 2009, 04:07 PM

Sammiejam - fabulous post! I laughed at some bits cos it was just like me. Really heartening.

Brunetter - I've peed on the wrong end of one too!! My last cycle (which was BFN) I was so excited and I didn't want DH to know that I was doing a HPT so I did it real quick first thing before he busted me... and it was one of those little cardboard stick types... one end white and one end purple. Anyway, i peed on the purple end (duh!) and got nothing, then realised and quick smart peed on the correct end. Negative. DH growled at me for doing it (he was really disappointed that it was Neg) and not waiting for the BT... what can I say? I'm just that impatient. Anyway, long story short... you're not the only one! Having said that, I didn't get a BFP that cycle... but I tested the day prior to BT so you've still got a few days to go.

Mrs P - GL, dying to hear your results.

**Mrs P** · December 7th, 2009, 05:10 PM

I still can't believe it but it's

for us - our first ever. Beta level was 2069 (19 days after fertilisation). Cautiously optimistic at the moment

Clinic want to do weekly bloods for now and I have to continue the pessaries, progynova and estrogen patches.

OMG Mrs P Thats awesome

welcome to the club

**Daisie** · December 7th, 2009, 05:20 PM

Congratulations Mrs P!!! Great work! I"m so happy for you.

**bronsie** · December 7th, 2009, 06:12 PM

bj - so sorry to hear AF arrived

Sal & Brunette - not long now til BT. I hope the rest of the wait isn't too agonising for you both. I've got my fingers crossed for you

Daisie - thanks for the sharkeys tip. Have you used them or do you know anyone that has? I can't get to QLD so I'd have to use their skype option but am definately interested.

Mrs P - huge congratulations!!

AFM, I'm still feeling pretty down. I'm finding this cycle much harder to deal with than any of my others. I think it's becuase I don't have my next cycle lined up yet (awaiting a call from FS). And because I've gone mad (thanks to hormones) I have convinced myself that I'm going into early menopause! I'm having hot flushes!! In my moments of sanity though, I do realise the chances of menopause kicking in are quite low at my age. Anyway, I know I'm not in the TWW anymore so probably should be posting elsewhere... Becuase I'm so new to this, I don't know which forum to go during the period after TWW and before next IVF cycle. Is there a forum for those of us in limbo?

**Brunette** · December 7th, 2009, 06:38 PM

Mrs P - Fantastic news. Well done to you! The first one of the month, I think.

Daisie - I hope you're right and it is too early to test ... My BT is not till the 16th. But I feel like I'm clutching at straws at the moment.

Bronsie - There are several places you can post. You could go the conception buddies thread, and choose from an age group or how long you've been trying to conceive, or if you get diagnostic testing done before ET, or if you do IUI etc, etc.

**Daisie** · December 8th, 2009, 04:23 AM

Hi Bronsie - Come and join us in the long term tcc & assisted conception thread. I've posted a reply to your question there. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-2009-a-7.html

**Sal79** · December 8th, 2009, 11:29 AM

Congrats, Mrs P, that's fantastic news.

It's the opposite for me. AF came this morning. I've never once made it to BT, i H A T E my body!

**WeeMansMummy** · December 8th, 2009, 01:06 PM

Sorry Sal. Sucks hay. xx

**WeeMansMummy** · December 8th, 2009, 01:36 PM

never mind, found her

**Brunette** · December 8th, 2009, 01:37 PM

Sal - I'm sorry to hear that. I'm the same as you: I never get to BT without some spotting/bleeding beforehand. But for me it lessens the blow a little. I figure at least I know I'm not UTD by the time of test. I'd prefer that than not having any bleeding and thinking "this is it" when it's actually not.

**littlemissmoo** · December 8th, 2009, 08:01 PM

Mrs P - HUGE CONGRATS!! Well done, I'm so happy for you. Did you have one or two transferred, is there the possibility of two in there???

Sal79 - So sorry AF arrived, I hope youre doing OK

AFM - Day 2 & nothing to report. The only good thing is the swelling I had from my epu has finally gone so in that respect I'm feeling much better. Had my estroegen & progesterone levels checked today, estrogen is still a bit high from stimming so the nurse said I have to continue the clexane injections. Does anyone know what clexane has to do with high estrogen as I'm on these for a clotting disorder??? Hope everyone is travelling well
