LTTTC Two Week Wait - Nov to Dec

Hiya ladies,

How are our Sunday's going so far????

So I have a question for you all. As you may or may not have known, Im kind of going through a 4ww rather than a 2ww and FX we will have our final BT and "official" answer tomorrow. However last night I got into a bit of a panic about having an ectopic pregnancy. After a nice cool shower, I settled onto the bed with the fan going full boar to keep me cool (this heat is really getting to me. Normally Im really, really good) I was laying there, flat on my back enjoying the fan. Then i sneezed and had this extremely excruciating (sp?) stabbing/ripping/pulling type pain where I would say my right ovary is. It lasted a couple of seconds only but now has be worried that after all this, little froggy didnt implant in the right spot!!!!!

Anyone provide some advice or words of wisdom. Was going to call the clinic today but decided to wait till tomorrow. Today Im feeling fine, apart from a slight, slight bit off colour this morning etc. Oh also should add that there was no bleeding etc afterwards. Was just really alarming.

spotting here this morning so the witch will be here by tomorrow and ive been a moody cow all weekend lol

Motherhood your ovaries are prob still a little sensitive and larger than normal from the IVF. I can still feel the difference in mine sometimes. I wouldn't panic. Just mention it to your nurse tomoz.
Also because you have had a 4WW when you get your final positive you be basically be 6weeks pg anyway and almost due for your first scan!!!

MHIC - I've been having the same thing for the last couple of days, and I don't even know if I'm UTD, so try not to panic, I'm sure everything will be fine. Do ask the nurse tomorrow, and as Jaki said, you're body has been mucked around by hormones, so your ovaries are probably still sore. I'm sure they'll do a scan if they're worried, but I'll bet all is OK. I've had that type of pain many times over the years, but I think it was due to my PCOS.

trubabe - :hug: sorry to hear about the spotting, hope you're doing OK hon. This process just sucks, doesn't it?

Just dropping in for a messsage for MHIC
I've had 2 ectopic pregnancies and the pain I had was different to what you described. It was like a dull ache that never went away. HTH
:pray::pray: that you get some good results tomorrow. GL

Motherhood...It sounds like a similar pain that I had in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. My OB stated that it was probably the ligaments starting to soften up and any sudden movement can sometimes cause a sharp pain. Fingers crossed for you tomorrow!

Good luck to all you lovely ladies with you TWW!!

Morning Ladies,

Well am back from my BT and now just have to wait, wait, and some more wait. Hmmm dont know what to think this morning. Am feeling "normal" no symptoms at all. Oh well we will wait and see. Thats all I can do I suppose.

Will let you know when the results are in.

Monday morning, yuck. Hello to all fellow TWW-ers!

MHIC - Good luck for today. When can you call for the results?

Trubabe - Sorry to hear your news.

Hiya Brunette!

I need to wait for them to call me. The last couple of times they have called it has been arround the 1.30 and 2.30pm mark. Sooooooo long to wait.

MHIC good luck with todays results I'm sure you'll be fine

Trubabe has AF shown up yet or are you still hanging in there?

bronsie welcome to the 2WW how you holding up not long now till your BT

Brunette hope your not going to crazy yet

To everyone else a big hi

AFM still hanging in there although this morning I woke up and felt that AF was just around the corner. Seems that my tummy has settled down now so I don't know what to think. Maybe its just my mind playing tricks or not. I did have a very busy weekend and did heaps and this can sometimes be an indication that its on its way I :pray: though that I make it to Thursday and get some good news

MHIC - Only a few hours to go now. Got my :crossfingers: for you!

Terry - Here's hoping for your BT this Thursday.

AFM, I got the results of my day 3 embies this morning. All in all, it's pretty good news. Out of 11 embies, 9 are going well and only 2 are below grade with fragmentation. The difficult decision was how many to freeze at day 3. My partner and FS wanted to freeze half, but I really want to see a blastie this cycle (as never had one reach this stage). I fret that they just don't implant or stop growing and that a blastie will have a better chance.

Anyway, results for day 3 thus far are:

2 x 8-cell compacting (advanced stage, lab told me)
4 x 8-cell grade 3 (top grade at our clinic)
1 x 8-cell grade 2+
1 x 8-cell grade 2
1 x 6-cell 2+
2 x 6-cell grade 2- (with fragmentation)

So, 9 good-looking embies. I decided to have three frozen and keep 6 growing (really 8 but they don't like the odds of the two grade 2-). I hope I have done the right thing. My FS said they freeze slightly better on day 3 than day 5 but I need to see a blastie!

Sorry for boring everyone to tears by listing my results. I can't help it though :redface:

Hi ladies
Im feeling confused today. My cramps started 2 days after transfer. I thought if i was lucky and they were implantation cramps they would have settled down by now. But they seem to be getting worse. Not really bad or painful but i am always aware of the crampy feeling. Ive been taking my morning walk in the pool rather than in the heat and this morning i got a pain in the womb area so i got out.
Im getting really tempted to POAS. Embie (if still present) is at day 12.
Ah just whinging. Back to work today so that will pass some time.
Hope you are all well.
xx

Hey Jaki, It's really tough when you just don't know what is going on inside, hey? At least when the embies are in the petrie dish, you can call the lab and get a progress report. Hang in there!

So true! The more i think about the more i convince myself they are AF pains. Grrrr

Jaki80 hang in there your not alone in what your feeling. i woke up this morning feeling the same that AF was on the way but now I feel normal again. Occasionally maybe once an hour I get a sort of cramp too but its really low. I've read before that a crampy feeling could be cause by your uterus(I think) expanding and making room for the baby. Maybe that's what your feeling :crossfingers:

Brunette I can understand why you choose to do what you did. Each time I have an ET and it doesn't work I often think do they actually get past day 3. Don't feel bad look on the positive side. You could have frozen them at day 3 and wasted a cycle or 2 at least this way you know whether they make it further.

OMG the results are in and its a :BFP: :leap: Ultrasound booked for 21st Dec to do a head count lol.

Thank you all so mucj for your support over the last 18months we couldn't have done it without you. :grouphug:

Just know that all the cramps etc can be positive cause I have had them flat out.

Hey Rob, well done. :clap: I posted congrats to you on another thread.

Jaki, it sucks but there's nothing we can do but wait ... and wait ... and wait. We're all in the same boat, if it is any help to you xo

Terry, thanks for your comments. I made up my mind this cycle that I really wanted to see a blastie and I'm telling myself that the very strong will survive to day 5 whether in a petrie dish or in their mother-to-be. Probably trying to stem the guilt with the embies that don't make it past day 3.

After a very long wait (4WW lol) and constant BT's (3 over the past 2 1/2wks) the results are in and its a :BFP: for sure :leap:. HCG levels today registered at 2580. Thats well up from the 518 I had last Thurs morning. FS is happy with todays results and doesnt want to conduct another BT, just wants me to book in for our first ultrasound next Thursday (Was told I will be 7wks next Thurs).

Thank you all so much for your support over this very long 2ww LOL I couldn't have done it without you.
