LTTTC Two Week Wait - November 08

Dusty, I had so much cramping too! I've had heaps today which is freaking me out, but ah well. I'm 14 days today since ET, with 2x 3 day old embies, plus a day for the thaw. I'm hoping and praying it's twins, but either way I'm happy.

Hi Girls,

Just wanted to pop my head in and wish you all luck for the remainder of your TWW's.

I had massive cramping in the week leading up to getting my BFP, so try not to freak out (HA - easier said than done I know).

Good luck gals.

hey all, not much has changed. i am feeling so empty and i just know it hasn't worked. i am on day 23 now and my embie would be day 8. BFN. i am just going to wait for af then see if i can go strait into another FET.

we got 2 embies left. i am going to ask for 2 to be put in and if only 1 survives then i am only supposed to have one. but since this will be it i just want it over so i can figure out how to move on.

sorry no personals.

c2w: :dance::clap::happyforyou:. Congrats and good HCG numbers. When is your scan booked to find out how mny heartbeats (1 or 2).

Alloy: :dance: a POAS BFP just like c2w. Will be waiting patiently for your BT confirmation.

Neptune: Still :crossfingers: for you as no AF has arrived. Keep us updated on what happens.

Mels: hoping it is not AF and that it is implantation bleeding. :pray: it is a good result for you.

Tania, JBM: We are patiently waiting out our BT's, but some BFP's already is a good omen for us.

AFM: BB's not as sore today but still uncomfortable. Still having twinges and felt yucky again this morning. 18 days left of work for me :dance: or really 17 if you count my day off for the BT next week. I'm soo lookign forward to it as I am sick of commuting on crowded public transport...

dusty - good advice. i'm resisting the urge to POAS until Friday (BT is Monday). I hope you're doing ok and not too crampy.

JBM - pleeease don't give up hope! it was definitely too early to do a HPT. So hang in there - it's not over until AF shows up!

KellyD - enjoy the count down to stopping work. hope you're feeling ok.

c2w - hoping its twins for you!! how exciting!

Alloy - when is your BT?! can't wait to hear the good results!

Neptune - hope you're still hanging in there and no AF

Hiya to everyone else I missed :hello:

AFM I'm feeling ok today. My CM has turned clear (yay!) and no other signs of AF so far, so I'm trying to keep a positive outlook. I've been super busy at work (which has been bad for stress levels, but great for taking my mind off the TWW). I'm having a day off tomorrow to chill out, then I only have to get through Thursday till I can POAS :pray:

Hope everyone's doing ok today.

Hi girls,

carrs2walk - CONGRATULATIONS! Thats terrific news :leap:

Mels - glad all is well with you now. :noaf:

KellyD - :crossfingers: and lots of :bluedust: for you

JBM - like the others have said, its too early to tell. Hang in there.

Alloy - I hope your BT was a BFP today!

Neptune - hang in there and stay positive. Hope you were able to schedule a BT

Dusty - Hope the cramping has eased and hopefully it was constipation, lol

Hello to everyone else :D

Im feeling better today. No more sore BB. Im coping fine with the Crinone gel. Hasnt been messy at all. Seems to be all staying in, lol Have been very absent minded though. Lots going on so having trouble concentrating!

Take care all and lots of :bluedust:

Tania

hey guys, well nothing has changed yet for me

mels: countdown 4 you. thanks for your encouragement, i want to believe it but it's hard to be positive when all i get is BFN.

kelly: counting down to no more work, yeah.
missmagpie: sounds good.

counting down in the TWW.

afm: well i just don't feel anything and havn't had a bad or good day. af is due on sunday and i just want to know. no more tests til sunday. i promise.

good luck guys

JBM, I can totally relate to how you are feeling. This is my first time and am feeling VERY anxious.

Like you, Im not feeling very different and have had little side affects (not even the Crinone is causing me any problems)

From what some of my friends have told me, they said they "knew" they were pg before they got confirmation.

However, having said that, everyone is different and you need to stay positive (which is easier said than done!) My AF is due this Friday and everytime I go to the bathroom, I keep checking that it isnt there. Its not a nice feeling.

I dont want to do a HPT as I dont want to get my hopes up just in case it may be wrong or let down if its a BFN. Guess I cant win either way.

Look after yourself and keep your chin up :D

Tania :noaf:

Hi all,

A very quick one (we're about to go to my Mum and Dads place to let them know they're going to be grandparents).

Just got my bt results, and it's a BFP!!!

My levels are Progesterone 130, Oestrogen 2300, and HCG 340.
I have to keep with the Pessaries twice a day, but I don't really care now!!

:grouphug: to all

Alloy: :dance: Fantastic HCG Number. Hope to join you in the a week & a half. :clap: Yay for you.

Alloy - Those are super numbers :dance: Big congrats and all the best for your pg! Too bad about the pessaries, but I wouldn't care either!

JBM - :hug: don't forget its not over until AF arrives. Those HPTs could just be too early still, hang in there....you just never know...

Tania - Glad you are coping with the Crinone - that stuff sounds awful! I'm so glad I'm on Pregnyl instead :)

Mels - Yay for no AF signs! Its always good to keep busy in the TWW :)

C2W - I had lots of cramping with my DD early on too. They say that it is quite normal as long as it isn't accompanied by bleeding. All the best!

dusty - Hope those cramps have eased up for you today...

:hello: to everyone else that I've missed!

AFM, second Pregnyl injection due tonight, can tick that box off soon. I'm still getting some side effects from the last injection, so I suppose they will get a bit worse again tonight :rolleyes: I really hate the side effects, they do your head in a bit! They didn't seem to be this bad on my last cycle that I took Pregnyl, but I guess because it was an IUI I shouldn't compare.

Thanks megsmum.

CONGRATULATIONS Alloy! Thats terrific :happyforyou: Enjoy passing on your great news!


Tania :D

Alloy - fantastic news - congratulations

Alloy - Wooopppeeee!!!! :leap: :happyforyou:

I'm so inspired by all these BFPs!!

Now the rest of us have to join you!! :crossfingers: :pray: for all of us!!

Mels xx

Just popped in to say CONGRATULATIONS t:clap::clap::dance::bluecheer::bluecheer:o Alloy and Carr2Walk - wishing you both a H&H pg.

Fingers crossed and lots of good thoughts and prayers for everyone else in the TWW for more BFP's .

Take care,
LNB

Wow! congrats Alloy. Sending you best wishes for a happy and trouble free 9 months ahead.

Well done Alloy, that is fantastic!!!!:clap::D:clap::D:D

I'm out girls. I did anothe HPT yesterday and it was negative, which I knew. Didn't have time to gt a BT as had an exam. Woke up at 4am today with the worst cramping, and AF has reared her ugly head. I knew I wasn't PG, so I"m actually pleased and can start the next IVF cycle. So you may see me back here in 2 weeks or so!

Thanks girls for you lovely support!

Neptune

Neptune - so sorry you didn't get a BFP - I hope that the next cycle brings one on!

Hi girls, thank you for all the congrats! It's still sinking in for me, and to make matters worse I woke up with a sore throat yesterday, and now have a cold/flu which is putting a bit of a dampner on my excitement.

Neptune, sorry about your bfn. It's good to see that you can start with your next IVF cycle. :crossfingers: for this cycle!!

Megsmum, I hope your side effects from the Pregnyl aren't too bad now!

Missmagpie, I know what you mean about going to the loo every 5 mintues to check for AF. I was doing that all weekend, and Monday (I couldn't get any work done). Hopefully the witch stays away for you!!

Dusty, I hope your feeling better now. I had wicked bad cramps after my stim cycle transfer in September. It turned out to be constipation (sorry if tmi) and my clinic suggested Lactulose, which helped a lot. I hope your feeling better now, and resting up.

KellyD, How exciting you have quit work! I can't wait until I finish, it takes me almost 1.5 hours to get to work via car and train, and the same home (and that can be longer, dependant on traffic). If I drive in, it's only around an hour, but the parking fees are rediculous, so I don't do that very often.

Mels, that's great that your cm has cleared up!! Maybe it was implantation spotting :goodluck: for Friday!!

:hug: to anyone I've missed.

Neptune: So sorry about your BFN, but at least you are staying postive and able to go into a back to back cycle. You aer still a chance for you Xmas BFP.

leaping in and spreading :bluedust: :pink-babydust: for everyone

C2W & Alloy CONGRATULATIONS on your BFPs, good luck for a H&H pregnancy

back into lurking mode ... sprinkling generous amounts of :bluedust: :pink-babydust:

Neptune :hug: I hope you are back in just a couple of weeks. All BFNs suck.

Mels: how are you tracking today? Still no AF I hope!

MissMagpie (love your name BTW!): I have friends like that too, but when I questioned them I think they really only knew once they had their BFP confirm it and had in fact been hoping it was their turn. Many women have no symptoms at all until 6 weeks.

MegsMum: Hhope the pregnyl went in fast and painlessly as possible.

JBM: hope you are staying away from the evil pee sticks and that the count down isn't dragging too much.

KellyD: two countdowns hey! may they both bring the best outcome possible.

Gargy: you still in here ;) Hope that you are staying sane and not long to go.

AFM: I have a calm feelign that the bublets are settling in for the next 9 months. No more cramping but niggles yesterday on my left hand side (ovaries?). The crinone is making me feel like AF is on the way but it is way too early for her anyway. I am finding positive affirmations each day are helping me to focus on what is possible.

Hi Dusty

Good to know you are feeling better. Who knows this TWW for all of us might be the month for BFP's with twins.

c2w & Alloy with 2 on board, 1've got 2, you've got 2. I'm sure a couple of others have as well. How fantastic would it be to have lots of double bubs in 9mths from this group.

hi girls

neptune - i'm so sorry for your bfn this month. but as you say, onto ivf next month (and a bfp before christmas)! all the best neptune :hug:

kellyD - hope you're surviving the wait...not long now!

dusty - hiya! :hello: still no AF for me, but my cm has slowed, which often means AF is on her way. I am :pray: :pray: that AF doesn't show up. I'm still feeling quite positive. I can test on Friday!

alloy - thanks for your best wishes. i also have a cold, sore throat and a killer headache. i hope you get well soon (and I'm sure your BFP will be making you feel better!!:lol: )

AFM, thought I was having the day off today, but couldn't because we're too busy at work. Hmm, I'm not sure that 16 hour days are the best for a calm and stress-free TWW... Anyway, as long as there's no AF, I'm happy!

Mels x

Hi girls,

Neptune - So sorry to hear your news. Glad you can start another cycle straight away.

Alloy - Im glad to know Im not the only one that does that! Congrats again on your BFP!

Dusty - Glad you like my name (Im a HUGE Collingwood fan!!!) I guessed that not all women are the same when it comes to "knowing" they are pg. Glad your symptoms have settled down too.

KellyD - Hope your going well :D

Mels - Not good about working 16hr days. Glad AF has stayed away too! :crossfingers:

A BIG hello to everyone else and those girls who are lurking! :D

AFM, Had a rough night last night. Got emotional on the way home on the train. Then balled my eyes out when I got home. My poor DP! The wait is now really getting to me. Plus not getting much support at work which doesnt help. Wish I could hide away until the BT on Monday. I dont know if I should do a HPT or not.

Take care all,

Tania

tania - hang in there!! as long as there's no AF, you're still in the game! i think we have our BT's booked for Monday, so I'm going to do a HPT on Friday? That may even be slightly early. If you can hang out till the weekend, that's probably better. I hope you're feeling better. :hug:

Thanks Mels. I went to the toilet before and noticed some discolouration. Im :pray: its not AF :crossfingers:

Yes my BT is also on Monday and AF is due Friday. I dont know if I can wait until Friday to see if she comes. The anticipation is killing me. Im feeling so low at the moment.

Thanks again for the encouragement.

Take care,

Tania

Hi all

Neptune- Sorry to hear about the BFN. Are you going straight into your next cycle? Good luck and maybe a BFP by xmas.

Alloy- Congrats on your BFP!! Great HCG numbers! We'll have to stay in touch, we're probably due pretty much at the same time. The clinic has said my EDD is around 23.07.09. Do you know yours?

Mels77- The countdown is almost over. Good luck for the 24th.

Dusty- Early on in my transfer when I was cramping lots, I found out it was constipation due to the pessaries. Hope yours has cleared up a bit.

KellyD- Hope all is well, and the countdown to finishing work doesn't drag as much as a TWW! I'm due for a scan around the 4th of Dec to see if 1 or 2 babies.

MissMagpie- I'm one of those annoying people...I said to my hubby about 4 days after the ET that I felt like I might be preg. I just felt different to all the other transfers, AIH cycles. But of course I wanted a BT to confirm! Good luck for monday- Hope AF stays away.

Nixon-Thanks for the cramping advice. I'm still getting niggles, and almost stabbing pains but I'm just trying to ignore them!

JBM- Hope all is going well and your keeping your chin up!

Megsmum- Hope your pregnyl went well. I hated those injections. I was nearly in tears each time my hubby gave me one, then I said to myself, If you think this is bad- wait till the labour! Hehe, THAT put it in perspective for me then!!

LNB and Ontrac_k- Thanks for the congrats!

I 'm going for a BT tomorrow morning to make sure levels are going up, but for now, everything looks great.I guess I have to change threads now! Hope everything goes well for every1 and hope there are BFP's all round!

Kelly, twins!!! Ah it would be a blessing for sure. Hope you are doing Ok

MissM: Completely normal to have a melt down right about now in the TWW. I hope you are feeling better today. So much tension and stuff riding on the outcome. If you can, try and focus on the fact that you are giving yourself the absolutely best chance of getting pg this month. The rest is up to nature now (and a bit of help from above if that helps). Go the Pies!!!

Mels: :noaf: is what we want to hear. Fingerscrossed and signs of AF can also means signs of being UTD.

C2W: Good luck with those levels. Thanks on the advice. I think it was constipation.

AFM: Back to work after 2 weeks off (to go to Melbourne for our cycle). Can't wait to be distracted. Am visualising my bublets as an eagle and lioness today. Strong proud and caring creatures.

xx

Hi everyone :)

Dusty - Have fun going back to work, it's always good to have a distraction in the TWW hey? What a lovely visualisation....

C2W - GL for the blood test today! LOL at your labour comment, you know I had a drip put in the back of my hand when I was in labour and didn't even notice!! All those injections with be worth it in the end though :)

Tania - :noaf: I hope that discolouration is not AF! Hang in there, maybe it could be implantation spotting.

Mels - Hope AF stays away for you!

Neptune - Sorry to hear AF arrived :( but all the very best for your upcoming cycle.

A big hi too to Alloy and KellyD and anyone else I have missed :)

AFM, not much to report, have been having heaps of pg symptoms this time around from the Pregnyl :doh: It would be sooooo easy to convince myself that I am UTD if I didn't know any better LOL And I've got my last injection of the stuff still to go on Friday! Tis going to make for a fun weekend :rolleyes: But at least this is the first cycle for ages that I have felt super positive and not thinking so much about what I will do in my next cycle, hoping all the positive thinking works this time :)

girls, i'm afraid i'm leaving you. AF showed up this morning.

this really doesn't get any easier does it?

wishing you all the very best for this cycle. hope to be back here in a few weeks.

mels x

Mels: So sorry to here AF has shown up. Do you have any spare frosties to go straight into another cycle (I can't remember). I'll be thinking of you.

Dusty: I think twins would be great. But would be more than happy with 1.

JBM: How are you coping. Goign insane as yet?

Megsmum: Lots of postive thoughts coming your way......

Missmagpie: Monday can't come quick enough..

c2w: hope your numbers are growing nicely.

Alloy: I'll be watching out for your post to confirm if 1 or 2.

AFM: BB's still sore but not as bad as earlier in the week, and my lower back is still sore. Twinges in my right side and today I have had to go pee lots & lots, which is very unusual for me. Who knows what's going on, just have to wait it out a bit longer. 1 week of the TWW down, 1 to go. Think I might start POASing next Tuesday in the faint hope I get to see that elusive second line.

Hi girls,

Mels - Im so sorry that AF arrived this morning. Was hoping we could both get some good news on Monday. Hang in there & look forward to your next transfer. Thanks for all your encouragement.

KellyD - Your spot on about Monday, is it here yet?!?!?! Hopefully your symptoms mean you are UTD!

Dusty - Thanks for your help. I hate not being in control so the wait is really getting to me. Work is a good distracttion so hope your TWW flies by for you! P.S. Go Pies!

Megsmum - Glad your feeling positive this time round. :crossfingers:

Carr2walk - Thanks for that.

AFM, had a fight with DP last night. The pressure and stress is getting to both of us. I thought AF was coming yesterday afternoon as I spotted some blood but nothing has eventuated as yet. :pray::pray::pray: she doesnt come. Feeling some slight cramping too

Lots of :hug: :bluedust: AND :noaf:

Tania :D

Mels - :hug: I'm so sorry. All the best for your next transfer, may it be the one.

KellyD - Peeing lots sounds really promising! That was my very first symptom with DD, although I didn't know it at the time. I could tell you a really funny story about a trip to Sydney but won't embarrass myself here ;) :crossfingers: for you! You are really close to me, I BT on Fri next week.

Tania - Sorry to hear about you and DP, hope you have made up now? This whole thing is just so stressful isn't it? :hug: Take it easy on yourselves hey? Hoping AF stays away for you!

hey guys i am still here, waiting, going crazy still. got 3 days til i test and 1 week to bt. got acupuncture friday, hope that'll relax me. sorry no personals, boys are escaping....

Aww Mels :hug: that sucks hun. I am really sorry it wasn't your month.

MissGothePies: poor you and DP, it really is a tense time and we take it out on those closest to us. Spotting and cramping can mean very good news too...

Megsmum: we sound like we are in a similar space right now with the postive calm thinking :D. I figure it is a better way of surviving this time. Damn pregnyl huh! Cross fingers that these symptoms continue for the next 2.5 months.

Kelly: Yep 1 would be great huh. Anything sticking would be wonderful. Hang in there.

JBM: Not too long to go. Acupuncture should help. I am having it tomorrow too. Yum!

xx

Mels, I'm so sorry that this wasn't your month :hug: I really do hope you get your wish soon!!

Megsmum, glad to read that you are feeling positive this cycle. I was a little the same, I had a feeling that it was going to work this month, and it turns out I was right. I really hope you'll follow with a bfp

Missmagpie, I hope you and your DP have patched things up now. This whole TTC rollercoaster is very stressful, but I like to think that it's made me and DH a little closer (although we had some screaming matches from time to time).

Kelly, I found I was going to the loo a lot more in the week or so before my bfp, so hopefully this is a good sign for you!!

Dusty, hope your bublets are snuggling in nicely, and your cramping has subsided

JBM, :crossfingers: for your test on the weekend

c2w, hope your levels today are nice and high! I don't really know my EDD yet, but sometime toward the end of July 09. My clinic hasn't told me anything yet, I think they might wait until the 7 week scan. I have my bt in the morning to check my levels are good.

AFM, I'm still sick as a dog with this cold/flu. Thankfully my throat has stopped hurting now, but I have absolutely no energy, and I've almost coughed up my lung today. I had yesterday and today off work, and I'll probably stay home tomorrow too as I want to rest as much as I can!!

:hug: to anyone I've missed, :bluedust::pink-babydust: for all!!

Alloy - Hope you are feeling a bit better today, good idea having the time off work, make sure you take it easy. GL for the BT today :)

Dusty - Sounds like it to me too! I sooo hope it works for us. I suppose ultimately we can't change the outcome either way so there is no point worrying about it too much. Yeah the Pregnyl just messes with your mind doesn't it? LOL Hope you are doing well today!

JBM - Hope you enjoy the acu and that it relaxes you a bit :)

AFM, well I think my DH is more edgy about this than me :o He asked me last night if there was any way we could find out earlier than next Fri! Maybe I might be able to POAS a day before my BT?! And he's always been so 'just wait it out' too, there's a turn around for you.

Hi Ladies

Hope everyone is doing well today.

I'm so confused at the moment :wall:, this is the worst I have felt from all of my ET's. My Symptoms so far that have hit with a vengance are:
Tired & Emotional (could cry at the drop of a hat at the moment)
Increased Body Temp (I am soo hot at the moment & sweating buckets even though it is quite cool in Melb at the moment)
Queasy Stomach (the smell of food turns my stomach)
Plus the extra loo breaks yesterday
Still a sore lower back and tender BB's and last night didn't sleep properly as I normally sleep on my stomach, but it was to uncomfortable.

Still have 6 days til the BT, but think I might start POAS on Sunday to see if there is anything. If it is not that then it must be all these drugs really kickign in. I'm on 6mg of Progynova & the progesterone pessaries, but it's been more than a week since I've been taking all these so you would think I'd be used to them now.......

Kelly: Its normal to go slightly crazy around this time (or anytime in teh TWW). Good luck for your HPT on Sunday but don't forget that it aint over until the BT and then it hopefully wont be over for you but just the start :hug:

Megsmum: Slightly OT but love your avvy's bird. There is something quite magestic and confident about it. Do you have birds? Hope you are remaining optimistic if possible.

Alloy: Not a great time to be feeling a cold when you want to be celebrating hey. Hope you are feeling much better today.

:stickyvibesgirl: and :bluedust: to all

AFM: I am a slacker and doing pretty much nothing all day. Had AP then a lovely brekky at a favourite cafe of mine. Watching DVDs and eating yummy organic food. I could have gone into work but as it is my RDO I thought why bother and why not enjoy being free. Feeling calm but slightly potty as the TWW seems to drag on. Half way through is always the worst and today is day 6 of an 11 day wait. On the downward slope now, hope it will go faster than the upside....
