Dusty, Mindy and Gargy - welcome to the TWW! for BFPs for you all this month! (Mindy my BT is the same day as you too!!)
Bel - twins! what brilliant news. just thrilled for you.
Neptune - fingers crossed - could be good news!!
JBM - you are SO good at personals you put us to shame!! hope you're surviving the TWW.
Alloy - you might be pg?? are you going to POAS?? fingers crossed for you.
Ontrak and Kahlan - hi to you both and thanks for popping in.
AFM - trying to stay positive...1 week till i can POAS. I find the second week of the TWW the hardest - searching for signs of pg and signs of AF (which are probably the same signs anyway). I had to go to a baby shower yesterday... and I was just praying that in 9 months time I'll be at my own.
c2w: if you did a POAS and got a big BFP, then your BT should definitely confirm the BFP for you. Maybe both your little ones stuck if it was so positive early. Good Luck, hoping you get a great number tomorrow.
JBM: Yah, so we can go insane together and count down the days.
Alloy: your BFP is so close I can smell it...
Gargy & Mindy: Good luck with your BT on the 24th, hopefully that week brings lots of BFP's.
Dusty: Is your BT on the 28th as your 1 day behind me with the transfer. It must be so exciting for you to go through soo much to know that in 2 weeks you will know if your dream comes true.
Neptune: I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. for a BFP.
MissMagpie: Hope that any spotting has gone away for you and that you are coping well.
If I missed anyone, I'm sure I'll catch up in the next couple of weeks.
AFM: I've had a very sore lower back since Friday and some mild twinges and have felt like AF was going to come early. Even though the FET was on Friday it was done late in my cycle due to lining issues. So it was done on day 24 . Was hoping to take it easy yesterday but DH's uncle passed away last week and we had to go the funeral (2 1/2 hrs away) and then spent a lot of time standing up talking to people which didn't help my back at all. Then later in the day when I went to the loo noticed a little bit of brown blood. Have had nothing since, just still a sore back. I'm thinking it might be a bit of blood from the transfer as my doctor was a bit rough and I felt everything when it was done. I was told the transfer went perfectly and they were put in a nice spot. So trying to take it easy today and hoping AF doesn't arrive early and then the transfer was for nothing...
Oh also, my MIL was soo excited about the transfer from Friday that all she kept doing yesterday was rubbing my belly (I felt like buddha getting my belly rubbed for luck) I must tell you it was so annoying.. 1. a bit too much pressure for this to work and 2. I'm now dreadign the day when I have a big belly as she won's be able to keep her hands to herself. I think this makes me realise that I'm going to be one of those pg women who won't like touchy feely people, better start preparing myself..
alloy: fingers crossed
dusty: wasn't the new name for TWW " the AF FREE zone"?. i can't remember either. good luck
gargy: welcome and good luck. lets hope this little one continues fighting. sticky dust for you
carr2walks: you will be the first BFP for nov TWW thread, i hope to follow soon. 1 day till bt! can't wait to find out. good luck
mels: i try to do personals as it makes me feel like i'm getting to know everyone and i don't really have a lot of people to talk to about this as we're not really telling anyone. extra added pressure you know. i agree 2nd week is harder. good luck
kelly" i've had a sore back too. not good. will this b first grandchild for MIL ? if so and you are preg you'll just have to tell her, in a nice way " i really don't like everyone touching my tummy but if i invite you to when i am much bigger then you can but just a small amount as it is not good for the baby to feel stressed and did you know if the mum feels stressed then the baby can feel anxious too"
it's true.
good luck
afm: nothing much. did some gardening and housework today also and now just some quick messages. 1 week til i am doing preg test and 11 days til blood test. and counting down.
kellyD - I'm so sorry to hear about your DH's uncle. I had a similar experience last month (my nan died a few days before my ET). It is a very stressful time (even without other tragedies going on). I hope you and your DH are doing ok. don't worry about the spotting, I was also told that spotting may happen after a FET
JBM - i agree, i love getting to know everyone here (and I always look forward to my personal from you! )
carr2walks, How exciting!! Have you tested again today? Sounds very promising for tomorrow
Gargy, welcome to the AF free zone! Hope your tww is a quick one, with a bfp at the end
Kaydee, hi hon hope your going ok. Nice to see you around
Mels, I know what you mean about the second week. I hope it goes fast for you, and you get a positive bt. I hope the baby shower was ok for you, I begged off sick from one last weekend, just couldn't face it
Kelly, I've had spotting from both my transfers, and neither time has it resulted in an early AF. I hope this isn't the case for you!! How annoying of your MIL, I hope you will be able to let her know how you feel. I'm sorry about your DH's uncle, I hope your feeling ok.
JBM, only a week until you POAS for you!!
MissMagpie, Mindy and Neptune, I hope you are all going ok!!
AFM, still no sign of AF, but I am trying not to get too excited. I'm not going to POAS because I'm so worried of getting a false positive due to my last Pregnyl shot on Tuesday (11/11). I've never made it to my bt without having AF first though, so I'm getting a little more positive each day. I'm soo bloated right now, my jeans barely fit, and I look like I'm around 4 months pg already. I'm putting that down to the pessaries. I've had a pretty full weekend, and I've got Tuesday off for my bt, so I've just work tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a busy day, so it won't drag on and on (I'm sure I'll be going to the loo constantly to check for AF though )
Alloy, Mels77, Kelly D, Kahlan, On Tra_k, Gargy- Thanks for all the messages!
Alloy- I did test this morning, I was so excited- I was awake and testing by 6:30am! It was a BFP!!
I know we should of waited till our BT to confirm, but DH and I both told our parents who are very excited for us. I hope everything goes well for you Tuesday! I am the same as you, AF would always come before my BT, so to think it's been 36 and still no sign, great!
Sorry, just a quick one tonight. It's been a LONG weekend, and BT fisrt thing in the AM, so i'm off to bed. Hope everyone is well, and i'm sending sticky vibes to every1!
c2w: waiting patiently for your BFP number. Congrats on getting a BFP on your POAS.
AFM: Still feeling yucky today, slight tugging and still a sore back. BB's are massive and really sore and uncomfortable, felt sick to my stomach this morning as well. Day 27 today allowed.
All 3 transfers so far, I have felt differently each time , who knows what's happening.
Only good thing today was that DH told me I was able to resign from my job , which I did this morning and finish up on the 12th December. It will be so nice to take some time out and focus on myself for a while and hopefully a growing belly as well. So next Thursday is BT day and then 2 weeks later get to leave my job.
I've been posting mainly in the M&L section, but was hoping it would be OK to join in here again?
I had an 8 cell day 3 embie transferred yesterday after a very stressful cycle where we got not many follies and only the one egg at EPU. Fortunately though for us, our little egg fertilised and kept growing and was looking really good yesterday according to the clinic.
Just have to try and not go mental waiting out the rest of the cycle now, although I feel a bit like I have used up all my stress over the last couple of weeks
Welcome Megsmum! The waiting is the worst part of the whole cycle- and unfortunately, we all know how stressful it can be! Just try to relax as much as possible.
KellyD- That's great about your work! You'll have more time to take it easy and think about #1, YOU!
I'm patiently waiting for my BT results, only 3 hours left! They said my levels from my last BT and my BFP hpt should mean a BFP today! YAY! 3 hours...Well, 2 hours and 40mins, the final countdown!
Hope you all had a good weekend. I experienced my first side affect this morning. Had really sore BB. They felt like they were on fire. Is this how bad the pain is usually? My nipples have been really sensitive too which they usually arent. Ive only experienced some slight cramping since my ET on the 10th and have been using Crinone since.
Kelly - for your BT on the 27th
Bels - thanks for the encouragement
Mindy80 - Welcome to TWW. My BT is also on 24/11 so heres to a BFP all round
quick reply. i caved and did a test BFN , i know it's prob too soon as it is only a 7 day embie and i am not due for test till the 27th. but on the early test it says 7 to 10 days after conception. now i will go crazy for the next week.
i knew it was too good to be true. insaneness here i come.
Hey JBM: We drive ourselves crazy don't we with the should we or shouldn't we POAS. I'm going to try and hold out to at least next week if I can before I start wasting my money on HPT's to get BFN's... Why do we do this to ourselves, we are such gluttons for punishment
c2w: Where are you??? I've been waiting all afternoon for you BFP with huge HCG numbers...
Neptune: Hope everything went o.k for you today.

C2W - Thanks for the welcome You are so lucky the waiting is over for you and a BFP as well All the best for the next 8 months or so!
Alloy - Thanks too, good to "run into" you again! Your symptoms sound really promising, not mention the lack of AF Here's hoping for a BFP tomorrow! Are you doing pessaries and Pregnyl? yikes!
Quick sneaky reply as I have an exam tomorrow and need to cram.
C2W - Hooray Congrats sweetie, well done. Here's to you for aH & H pregnancy.
Good luck to everyone.
No news form me as yet. I did a HPT yesterday - negative. No AF though today, still the same very slight spotting. My plan is to ring the IVF clinic tomorrow (day 35 of cycle) either with or without AF, so I can at least get a BT. I bought some more HPT's so will to another test in the am. I feel pretty strongly that I am NOT UTD so don't get too excited lovely ladies...
carr2walks, How exciting!!! All the best for the next 8 months or so (and hopefully I'll be following you to the pregnancy threads from tomorrow!!) They are really good levels!!
JBM, I really hope that that test you did was wrong!! Hopefully the next week isn't too bad for you.
Neptune, good luck for your exam tomorrow! I hope you can get to the clinic, and get something sorted. Sorry about your bfn
I hope everyone else is going ok!!
AFM, I caved today and bought a test, and got a BFP at lunch time!!!! I'm still waiting until my bt tomorrow to confirm for sure, but AF still hasn't shown so I'm really positive now. I was worried about my Pregnyl shot last Tuesday, but I found this on the net
"Q: Can I use an HPT if I had an hCG injection (such as
Profasi, Pregnyl or Novarel)?
A: You can, but you should wait 7-14 days after your
last injection before the shot is out of your system.
If you test too soon, you might get a false positive.
Wait 14 days after a 10,000 IU injection, 10 days
after a 5,000 IU injection, or 7 days after a 2,500 IU
injection. "
and my shot last Tuesday was 1,500 IU so that makes me feel a little better.
Megsmum, I have had the three lots of Pregnyl shots, and 2 daily pessaries this cycle!!
for BFPs for you all this month! (Mindy my BT is the same day as you too!!)
you put us to shame!! hope you're surviving the TWW.
