LTTTC Two Week Wait - November 08

Kelly - I'm so sorry - especially after the excitement following your POAS tests.

I think there's a whole bunch of us who are hoping to give it a drug free old fashioned go during the holiday period!

Kelly D - So sorry. I was so sure it would be the outcome your hoped for. I hope you are able to enjoy Christmas and regroup for a brand new go in 2009.

KellyD - I'm so very sorry :hug: And to top it off having to wait that long for another cycle - that just sucks :( Take care of yourself hey?

Tania - Sounds like a good plan for your next cycle. All the very best with it!

Possums - Sorry to hear AF showed :( At least you can have one more natural try before you next IVF, will be :pray: for a little miracle for you!

Alloy - :hello: hope you are well!

Dusty - Yay again! Only 1 more sleep to go now :) I need a biting fingers emoticon here now I think!

WTH - Have sent you another little note ;)

Sorry if I have forgotten anyone, good luck to all!

AFM - Still no visit from AF yet, but trying not to get my hopes up, there is still plenty of time for her to show up today or tomorrow morning. Maybe it could just be the Pregnyl holding her at bay?? Anyway I have my BT and an FS visit tomorrow at lunchtime, so hopefully should have some idea late tomorrow afternoon :pray:

megsmum- fingers crossed for you!! the final waiting is just agony

miss magpie- hope you are doing OK

Thanks Possum, Im doing ok for the moment. Emotions are up and down. Was my 1st cycle so didnt know what to expect and had high hopes.

Megsmum - good luck for tomorrow! My fingers and toes are crossed for you :D

We need some more BFP before Christmas.

Good luck to everyone else here.

Cheers,

Tania

WTH: hey, I've got a good feeling about dec 1 for you, me and kasam. but i'm with you, what's a sympton, not a symptom?? as for cramps, i think that could be your belly being babified... hope it is!

Alloy: I know the countdown is on! Even DH admitted he'd counted the days to BT, ha! and he thinks i'm obsessing. hope you are well??

Megsmum: not long now!! don't go near those hpt, look at dusty's story, and unforuately kellyd's - hpts: inaccurate for ladies like us. I just know tomorrow is your lucky day. good luck, will be thinking of you. STAY AWAY AF.

Dusty: again, congrats. your hpt drama has helped keep me strong and away from buying any more (yes considered sneaking one through).

Possums: Hugs. I'm realy sorry. I hope your dec cycle throws up a little treasure for you. I think it's good to focus on the positives. :hug:

KellyD: I was so sorry to read the second post after the hpts. take care of you. :hug:

MissMagpie: that's a very good idea - enjoy the festivities in all their glory. If/when I don't get a bfp (don't want to jinx myself), that is what i'm doing. we are going away to tassie (dh's family) and are going to really just relax and enjoy ourselves.

AFM: Nausea has decided to make me its BFF, ugh. But i'm sure it's the crinone's evil doing. But from yesterday afternoon and all through today i've been really, really thirsty, which i took as maybe a good sign. but this has made me feel very positive and very hopeful when realism and caution is requried. am i setting myself up for a fall, that will really hurt??? want it so bad. af is due sometime from tomorrow, not sure of an exact date, so :pray: :pray: :pray:

:goodluck::goodluck: to all oxox

Hello lovely girls

Congratulations Dusty!!!!! Woo hooo, that is wonderful, amazing news!!!! Very happy for you!!! You deserve it matie.:clap::D:clap::D

KellyD - that is so upsetting and unfair. Hang in there.

Hey to everyone else. Good luck for the insane 2WW. I will be joining you sometime very soon. EPU should be next week.

KellyD: oh hun I am so sad for you. It is just such a tough outcome after your HPTs. They are the pits. I hope you can find the strength to pick up, have the rest of the year to yourselves and start 2009 a fresh :hug:.

Megsmum: 1 sleep to go...I am hoping that this is it. :noaf: is one of the best signs you could ask for at this stage. Good luck with it all, chew away cause they may be growing back really fast soon...

Thank you all for your lovely messages and excitement. You have been the bestest crew to hang out with these last couple of week. I always follow you all and your ups and downs and feel the pain and excitement with you. May you all have your BFP and baby in arms very very soon :crossfingers:

xx

dusty: a big congrats to you. yeah . i am so excited as i am sure you are too.

KellyD - I'm so sorry about your test results today :hug: that really sux that you have to wait so long to start a new cycle too, don't you hate Christmas sometimes? I hope you are looking after yourself, and I'm sure that 2009 will be your year

Megsmum - Pregnyl has never kept AF way for me in the past, I've got my :crossfingers: for a bfp for you tomorrow!

Hayley - I hope your nausea and thirst are good signs. Not too much longer to go now, I hope the AF witch stays away for you.

Tania - a drug free and relaxing christmas sounds good, hopefully that is what you need to prepare for a bfp in the new year! :hug: hun, I hope your doing ok

Possums - Sorry your natural cycle didn't work out, I am :pray: for you for your next cycle.

:hello: to WTH, Kasam, Dusty, Farmgirl and anyone else I've missed

:SAAF: YOU AREN"T WANTED IN HERE!!!

MegsMum - today's the day, my sweet. Will be thinking of you. As usual, have PM'ed you. But just want to wish you goodluck again :goodluck:

KellyD - :comfort: I was so sorry to read your post. I know you must be so disappointed. I can understand how February does seem a long way away. Would your FS consider doing a "short" cycle? I have just done an orgulatron cycle. It means you start on Day 1 and do not need to take the pill or down-reg. This might not be what you want to do. Just want to say something useful and helpful. So sorry.

Kasam and Grub - not long for us three December 1 girls to go. When are your AF's due? I am confused about mine. My EPU was on a Saturday, so I cannot figure out whether 14 days later is a Saturday or a Sunday IYKWIM. Grub I have been very thirsty the past 24 hours! :crossfingers: :noaf:

Dusty - hope you are enjoying giving your tummy those well-deserved mummy-to-be rubs :D

Alloy, Neptune and Farmgirl - :hello:

AFM - I continue to get mild AF-like pains and have been waking up very early each morning (the latter has happened to me in past PG's). Boobs are mostly sore in the afternoon/evenings. Had mild backpain all yesterday. Mostly just veerrrrry tired... Yep - I think I may be over-analysing just a little bit. Actually, way too much!

KellyD - so sorry hun.... I do really wish that the bub is a late snuggler and only implanted late (thus the low hcg level)....

Congrats Dusty! You so much deserve the long awaited BFP... wishing you a H&H 8.5 months ahead.

to everyone else, good luck with whatever stages you are in

Kahlan

Thanks girls for your kind thoughts.

Kahlan: I too am hoping it was a late implant as well. If it happended to be the day 3 5 cell emby, then I am thinking wouldn't it be a couple of further days behind schedule as it needs to make up the cells that it lots and then keep growing. Fingers crossed for the new BT tomorrow, but dont; want to get my hopes up.

No sign of any AF starting at all. The clinic think it might be the drugs, but last cycle with our BFN, I had spotting 2 days before the BT so my body seems to react normally. I woudl think this cycle that if AF was going to arrive on time I woudl definately know seeing I had to wait longer for the lining to thicken up and taking extra drugs for this to happen.

Anyway, I'll see what happens. Altough if this one doesn't work I'm going to push for some more testing to see if there is another issue. 2 out of 3 transfers getting some HCG (implant) and then losing them, seems to me a bit strange seeing as we have good quality embryo's and haven't lost any in a thaw as well. So if it isn't the embryo's it must be me....

Megsmum: Good luck today.

Hope everyone is cruising along ok.

Where's the hope - I have been getting kinda the same things, my hips are sore as well. Man I am trying not to look into it - just so darn hard! I have no idea when my AF is due - this is our first IVF cycle and neither the clinic or the FS has said when I should expect it. I normally have a very regular 28 day cycle so if you went 14 days from the EPU (I am not sure if that is right!) then I would have been due yesterday possibly today? God only knows!

AFM - Blood test on Monday and I am starting to really freak out - have started getting kinda cramps nothing major just little ones that I know are there so of course every time I go to the loo I get all worried that I am going to find something. If no AF in the morning I might test this whole TWW thing is really starting to play on my emotions - I am crying at the littlest things at the moment arrgghhh!!

HI all,
kasam i am the same... first cycle, didn't really think about af date so not sure... i assume i was due today or tomorrow or sunday??? well it didn't arrive today but i'm the same... every time i go to the loo i have a detailed inspection of the paper. should be on csi the way i'm drawing conclusions at the slightest twinge atm. aarrggghhhh.

also monday bt. have created a busy weekend calendar for myself in a bid not to completely lose my mind.

hope everyone is well. :pray::pray::pray:

Hello everyone,
Work has been flat out over the past few days so no time to post, and only a little time to think about the TWW which has been nice :D

There seems to be so many of us in here at the moment, so sorry if I miss anyone...

grub and kasam - that af has stayed away has got to be a good sign! wishing you all the best for monday and hope that you are one of those lucky ones that get a BFP on your first cycles :goodluck::goodluck:

Kelly D - sorry that you got a test back with low levels and will now have to wait till next year for the next cycle. i think that low test results are worse than a BFN as it is so hard to grieve and move on as just have to keep waiting for the test go back to zero :hug:

Dusty - :leap: - you go girl!

MissMagpie - sorry on the BFN but wishing you all the best for your next cycle.

WTH - signs sound positive...and we all over analyze!

To everyone else - wishing you a good weekend with no AF! Hope that you can all find something to smile about.

AFM - not much news. just making my belly black from my injections and feeling pretty tired with my skin extra sensitive and itchy - esp on my arms! :wtf: got cramps but thats the progesterone it is way to early for anything else! At least the heparin means I get out of heavy labour on the farm for the weekend :)

Hi ladies,

Sorry for the me post, but it would seem like my BT was done too late in the day - I don't have any results yet. So it looks like I will have to wait until tomorrow, but the good news is still no AF! Stay away witch!

:hug: everyone!

:crossfingers::crossfingers::crossfingers:
I HAVE EVERYTHING CROSSED FOR ALL YOU GIRLS WAITING ON RESULTS AND I :pray: YOU ALL GET AN EARLY XMAS PREZZI

Oh MM no.... that is cruel. I hope you are doing ok? :noaf: :noaf:

KellyD: :crossfingers:

Hey Girls

I thought I would pop in and join you in cruel TWW! We had two embies - inky and minky transferred today. BT isn't till 16 December.....:doh:

I will try to catch up on everyone. There are some familiar faces.

GO Dusty - still smiling for you! Thanks - I kind of forgot about this TWW thread!

Hey FG - hope this one is a whole different experience now you have some more info

Megsmum - goodluck :crossfingers: for you!

Grub, kasam and Kellyd :hello:

Wishing everyone the best..

Rach xx

megsmum- oh wait a pain waiting another night...but good sign with no AF! fingers crossed for you

hi farmgirl. thanks for the cheer out. you poor thing with your injections. at least you can have a bit of a break this weekend, at least from the physically taxing stuff. hope you start to feel better soon.

kelly D :hug: i hope that is the case.

OMG megsmum, i think i would've flipped out! my test is at 7.15am monday, nice and early... can't wait to hear your good :pray: news today. af stay away. ox :pink-babydust:

Smithy and Dusty thank you for still dropping in and cheering us on. the support is much appreciated.

Hi Rach, i'm willing on inky and minky for you as well. goooo embies. :bluedust:

hi kahlan, alloy, jbm and possums.

Two more sleeps for us Kasam and WTH! no AF so far for me this morning but it is only 7 o'clock, lol. Just feel a bit confused and unsure about it all. Don't want to start hoping good news is on the way because scared it will jinx it or something crazy like that ... arrrggghhh. How are you girls coping? Still no af i hope.

:goodluck::noaf::noaf::noaf:

Sorry if i've missed anyone, ox

Dusty congratulations on your long awaited BFP!!!!:clap:

:happyforyou:


Wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy

Rach81 - I am glad we aren't the only ones who named ours....ours is sticky :-)

Grub - good to hear still no af.

Megsmum - I can't beleive you waited till late afternoon to do you blood test lol! I hope you can find out nice and early this morning and hope af still hasn't arrived.

WTH - what is happening there?

Morning to all you other lovely girls out there waiting and waiting.

AFM - first thing I did when I got up at 7.00 was to do a "CSI" inspection. Still nothing. Honestly if it is going to come I wish it would already so I can get on with my life - this is really torture. I start getting kinda af pains and then it goes away and then comes back so I am rushing off to the loo all the time grrrr. Still have my sick feeling and that is not going away. I really would have thought I would have AF by now but anyways

megsmum - wishing you all the best for todays results - really hope that you have got your BFP! Good luck
FG

Grub and Kasam - Simlarly doing CSI-type sessions in the loo, but you will have to read my confession below... Kasam - like you I got teary over the littlest things yesterday. But this morning I woke up and had a big WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! in bed. The latter, I think, is my E2 levels crashing which means AF really is trying to find me.

Megsmum - "ding-ding" you've got mail :D

Rach - :welcome: What a long 2WW you have! Hope it flies by for you. Love the names for your little beanies.

Farmgirl - hope you can put your feet up and relax a little this weekend

KellyD - great idea to get some testing done about implantation. Hope it gives you some answers to help you along next time

AFM - OK now it is confession time. :redface: After having my freaky stressy tantrum last Sunday morning (8DPO) and reading it would hinder implantation (for a variety of reasons, won't bore you with the science) I started 100mg progesterone pessaries (from a previous PG) that night. Just popping one in at bedtime to feel a little more secure about my P4 levels. I was already on Pregnyl for support and knew medically the extra P4 would be harmless. What I did not realise is that the pessaries may delay my AF. So while it is due about today, if I do not get it by BT this Monday it actually does not mean anything promising :( . Feeling a bit embarrassed about this confession - the things us desparate women do :redface: Meanwhile my symptoms have all seemed to drop off.

My results are in girls :dance:

Its a BFP!!! HCG is 184 and P4 105 which the clinic are really happy with.

OMG I cannot believe it, I thought this day would never come!

Anyway, back to the clinic on Tuesday morning to check levels are rising and weekly BTs for me now to check progress before a scan at 7 weeks.

Awfully sorry for no persies, just wanted to let you all know and I will be back real soon to do some.

Hang in there everyone :grouphug:

Firstly thanks for all the welcomes girls...

GO Megsmum! Congratulations!!:happyforyou:

WTH - :pray: this is the one - stay away AF!!

FG - you are doing great - keep it up hun :hug:

Kasam - when I fell PG in Feb I had lots of tugging and cramping thought AF was coming for sure - the feeling is a lil different though. Anyway, I was PG. It was my uterus getting bigger - hopefully this is what you are experiencing too!

Grub - all the best you are nearly there ...Here is hoping your BFP is waiting for you!

Take care guys and lets hope we can follow Dusty and Megsmum all the way to our very own BFPS!!!!!!!

Rach xx

:dance::dance::dance: YAYA MEGSMUM WELL DONE HUN
GREAT LEVELS TOO

:happyforyou: MegsMum - just want to congratulate you again :clap:. Hope you have a very sticky and happy little bean there :D

Megsmum - Congrats hun, that is awesome!! :confetti::happyforyou::hooray::confetti:

Good luck to everyone else, there is such a positive vibe in here at the moment, lets hope the bfps keep coming!

Megsmum :leap::happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou:
Congratulations hun. So so happy for you all. How a cycle can turn around - there is always hope.

WTH: Don't give up hun. Emotions can be both ways with this - you can be UTD and emotional too. :hug:

Rach: So glad you came over here to hang out. A lovely bunch to share your TWW with. I am cheering you inky and minky on every day.

Monday is going to be a big day in here. :crossfingers: for all of you :noaf:

Thanks LS!

kasam and Hayley - Have got abolutely everything crossed for you ladies on Monday :pray: Not too many more sleeps to go! And I know how you feel about the toilet paper inspecting too :rolleyes: have been doing so much of it (and I said this in the TTCAML thread too LOL) I should have shares in Sorbent!!

FG - Cripes sounds like you are doing some serious injecting :o At least it will all be worth it when you have your little bundle to hold....and yay for getting out of farm work ;)

KellyD - Have still got fingers crossed for you that those levels will rise! At least not having AF is a good sign, surely she should have shown up by now if they weren't?? Will still be hoping for you anyway.

rach81 - Welcome to the TWW and heaps of good luck to you!

WTH - Massive :hug: hun. Remember my symptoms dropped off early this week too, and I was feeling so negative about this cycle as well. It is the Pregnyl playing with your mind!! You are most certainly not out of the race my love! BTW, will PM you in a sec ;)

Everyone else - a big hi! And also thank so very much for the congrats, tis much appreciated. I just have to try and not stress out too much now which is going to be really hard, but hoping this one will be a sticker :pray: After all we only got the one egg, then the one embie - we are hoping desperately that this one is just meant to be!

:bluecheer::hooray:way to go megsmum:hooray::cheer:
wishing you a wonderful pg - congrats - talk about a result worth waiting for!

CONGRATULATIONS MEGSMUM... that's the best news... !!!


still no show from her royal witch. but am also freaking out that she's a-coming round the mountain this arvo..... thanks all for the shout outs. ox

:pray::pray:

:noaf::noaf:


:pink-babydust::bluedust:

Megsmum: Congrats on your BFP.:dance: Having to wait an extra day for your results must have been really stressful, but worth it in the end.

Kasam, WTH & Grub: Good luck with you upcoming BT's. The last few days does your head in "big time".

Hi, everyone else thanks for all the good luck and crossed fingers.

AFM: I'm still going to need to girls to keep all those sticky vibes coming my way. I'm still in limbo, BT result today is 46, so an increase from 13 but still need it higher. So it is now classified as a BFP but not a promising one. Had lots of cramping last night and today and am having some spotting today. Just a little bit of fresh bright pink and now it has turned brown and is not a full flow (sorry TMI). Another BT on Tuesday to see if the levels are going up or down.

This really puts me out of a pre Xmas transfer if this one doesn't stick. With a HCG originally at 13, thought that if AF arrived today or tomorrow and HCG dropped (didn't have far to go to 0) we could fit one more in. They are also monitoring me as low levels that keep rising slowly could indicate an ectopic, which we really don't want to happen seeing we are off to Perth for 2 weeks leaving on the 20th December. We are travelling on the Indian Pacific and if we have to cancel we'll loose all the money we have spent booking the holiday (approx $7000k) so far so am :pray: we don't have to cancel.

KellyD - Gosh, how annoying not knowing...I don't know that to think, or what to say except :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: and :goodluck:

Thinking of you

Megsmum: yeah to you, i am so excited for you, congrats to you

kelly: fingers crossed for you. please please stick little bubba.

afm: got scan on mon morn at 8.45 am or so. had shiatsu massage on fri, was great.
going to see my sis on tue and wed, she live other end of state.
thur i got a wisdom tooth removal and prob fet around 8th or 9th dec.

hi to all and see you in here soon for dec fet. this is it. a bithday and christmas present for me.

Hi girls

I just popped in and wanted to wisk Megs mum all the best! Congratulations :happyforyou:

good luck JBM, hope your christams wish comes true.

KellyD - hang in there and let's hope it's a late implant like you said. i hope the numbers go up and pray its not ectopic. :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: take care of yourself.

Kasam/WTH: how are you both doing? keeping yourselves busy I hope. only one more sleep girls. good luck. xx

afm: still no af this morning... fingers crossed. so am hoping she stays away today and forever and tomorrow's BT yields our dream result. will let you all know.

But i have some questions: the levels hcg and the other one ??? can't remember what its called... what should they be? i know the hcg is the pregnancy one but what is the other level??? Just need infor so i have a clue tomorrow. :pray:

:noaf::noaf::noaf:
