    Welcome TLO and Kassam! I hope this is your last time in the TWW thread

    Gargy

    hello everyone hope you are staying as sane as you can. Sorry no energy for personals this morning but I am following your progress everyday.

    Well I have one sleep to go. The only hope I am now holding onto is AF hasn't shown but that is probably the crinone now which has happened in the past. I have done my grieving and am thinking of the next step which isn't so straight forward for us.
    Now wishing we had booked that trip to Thailand for Xmas. Am sick of putting off making plans...

    Hi Everyone

    Well, I feel that I am 100% out this time as well, BT not till Thrusday but did another POAS last night (that measures really low levels) and a definite BFN. Getting cramping this morning so I think AF will be here very soon.

    I can only look on the positive side that if AF does arrive in the next couple of days, then I should be able to fit one more transfer before Xmas. If it stays away, I probably won't get to do another till Feb next year (we are going away over Xmas and due to the FS closing will probably miss a Jan cycle).

    DH & I were talking last night and have decided that if we do another transfer and get a BFN we will push to get some further checks to find out if there is a reason why nothing is working. We don't want to use all our frosties up only to find out there was a reason why they wouldn't stick.

    Anyway, good luck to all our remaining TWWers, hopefully some more BFP's before Xmas.

    Dusty: I feel for you on your trying journey. Maybe you can get a late booking for your Thai holiday. It is so frustrating putting everything on hold on our TTC journey, that's why we decided to book our Xmas holiday and just go with the flow. If we didn't do it I think we would go insane or end up killing each other without having some time out.

    Dusty - I hope the day flies by for you. I do not know much about Crinone but along with all the girls here hope that AF cow keeps away and are for the BFP you so yearn for and deserve. You will be in my thoughts tomorrow.

    Gargy - I am sorry to hear about your BFN . Have you thought about your next step? Are you one of those very lucky ladies to have some frosties?

    Alloy - yeah, the whole stress thing was only for about an hour. Won't bore you with the details but I was feeling cranky and could feel my blood boiling. So embarrassing - believe it or not I am actually a rather nice person. Maybe it was a hormonal build-up from the past two months of IVF IYKWIM!

    TLO - I hope you get a lovely double surprise for Christmas

    Grub - Crinone is progesterone - usually causes headaches, tiredness, sore boobs, dizzyness. It is HCG that causes nausea. What a promising sign for you!!

    MegsMum - there was something weird going on with our computer yesterday which DH fixed last night Hope you are feeling better today. It took a miracle for each of us just to get an egg to transfer. Now we both get another one!

    AFM - 10DPO. Feeling pretty symptom-less. Boobs not hurting at all. Bothered if this cycle does not work out that we will have to wait so long before starting the next cycle late January. Would be ready late December but need to find a SIVF Dr working then. Anyone here know of one working during the silly season? Would love to have a back-up plan to get me by if this does not work out this month.

    hello lovely ladies...just back after a wonderful relaxing week away, on the coast, surfing, reading resting, just what we needed! and now I am trying to catch up here ...

    Alloy and C2W- congratulations!!! great to come back and see your BFPs!!

    sorry if I have missed anyone elses good news..i have tried to quickly catch up


    to those who have received a BFN- so sorry...

    Dusty- I so so hope for good news for you

    afm- well, I don't think we are in for a natural miracle this time round...no AF yet, but have done HPT and negative..and I don't feel pregnant at all (and having been pregnant twice now, I have none of my previous symptoms). Ah well, it was worth a try

    Nixon - Thanks for the post hun You are so right, now that the euphoria of just getting to the TWW (and we were touch and go for even getting here too I can tell you!!) has worn off and the reality that it might be a BFN is only a day or 2 away, I just feel like I can't be so optimistic now as I have to protect myself from the disappointment if it doesn't work. BTW, didn't have to get up to the loo last night so I just don't know, but on the other hand I don't have any pre AF signs yet either....wishing you all the very best for your pregnancy

    buliej - Thanks hope you are travelling along OK...

    kasam - Like Alloy said, Pregnyl is HCG and I have it as 3 injections - 1st one 2 days post EPU, 2nd one 5 days post EPU and last one 8 days post EPU. I haven't used Crinone (but it sounds gross enough that I'm not keen to try it LOL) only prog pessaries which I found pretty icky and annoying so I asked the FS if I could have Pregnyl instead which he was happy for me to do. HTH!

    WTH - Glad you finally got that PM! Thanks for the vote of confidence about saying the right thing! Sometimes I worry a bit that I do, but you know me - a born worrier

    Hayley - You are sooo right about that happy feeling at the start of the TWW, mine is just about all gone and just replaced with worry now But like you said its not over until AF arrives, so I will try to hold on to a little bit of hope. I'm so sorry to hear you only got the one to freeze, but remember it only takes one and you might be able to keep that one aside for a little sibling!

    TLO - Welcome to the TWW! Good luck!

    Alloy - Thanks for the kick Not feeling super positive today, but a bit better than yesterday.

    Gargy - I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN

    Dusty - GL for tomorrow! I hope you are wrong and that its a BFP! If you can't book your trip to Thailand though, maybe you could take a little holiday over Xmas somewhere else? That's what I would like to do this year too - just get away from everything with DH and DD.

    KellyD - Sorry to hear you think AF is on the way. Will be hoping you are wrong...but sounds like a good idea to push for more testing. It's always better to know if there's a problem and deal with it rather than not.

    Possums - Glad to hear you had a lovely time away Welcome back. Hoping you are wrong about not being pg.

    AFM, 3 sleeps now till my BT, or maybe only 2 sleeps if AF shows up on time. Not really feeling pg, but on the other hand I don't have any pre AF signs either...yet. I can't quite bring myself to POAS either, I think I'd rather just hold on to a little bit of hope for a bit longer.

    Hi girls,

    Thanks for all your well wishes. Its greatly appreciated. I have found this forum a HUGE support and a great place to vent and share experiences.

    My nurse called me yesterday arvo to confirm my blood test results. I had a small reading of 5 which means I need to have another blood test next week to make sure its come down. The news was even more shattering to think that the embryo did attach for a short period of time. This now means I cant start my next cycle tomorrow as I previously thought. Now have to wait another month. Im trying to focus on the positive that at least it did attach but at the same time I keep thinking did I do something during my TWW to prevent it from staying there. Its such a emotionally draining experience and this was only my first cycle.

    Good luck to all the ladies who have upcoming BT. My toes and fingers are crossed for you! I will pop my head in to see how you are all going and here's to MORE BFP's

    Hoping to be back here sometime in Feb.

    Take care,

    Tania

    MissMagpie - that happened to me - a reading of 5 for the BT. As I wanted to start my cycle again, I asked them (and they agreed) to test the next day. The next day it was 2 or 3 - I can't remember, but it was the number that they consider negative and fine to start the next cycle. You may want to push them for another BT tomorrow!
