Your old thread is here.

Oooo... a new thread! Yay! Well, from our previous thread...

Azz - sorry to hear about your BFN - big virtual hugs to you. I know another stim cycle must seem horrible to go through again...

Millymoo - don't lose hope yet.... maybe your levels will rise over the next few days... I know the waiting can be hard though...

As for me 12 days till testing - I don't know but I just have a feeling it's going to be a BFN. I know it's too early to tell anything now, but i just have a sense... Maybe i'm just trying not to get my hopes up too much. You know what is really funny - we've convinced our family's it's actually a 5WW... we told them that the scan (3 weeks after BFP test) was when we would know if it was a viable pregnancy so we would tell them then (we never actually told them that we wouldn't find out sooner... but that's what they've concluded!). Imagine having a 5WW! Argh!

How is everyone else travelling... ?

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know that Bel is in hospital with OHSS. She;s been in pain since EPU. Had transfer Monday and the pain got unbearable Thursday and was admitted. They gave her morphine to help with the pain.

I'm pleased to say her spririts are good although suffering poor thing. She tells me her tummy looks like she's 9mths pg as she is so full of fluid.

Just quietly, between you and me, I think she's a little bit (ok a lot) pg. She had 2 magnificent blasties put back Monday and the day implantation should have occurred - she got such massive pain. OHSS gets much worse as soon as pg.

Anyway, that's Dr Lulu's diagnosis - and I for one am it's true!!

No idea when she may come out because if she is pg, it can drag on for weeks. As long as they can keep the pain under control, we heartily agreed she will live with the fat tummy if she is pg...

So..just wanted to let you all know that she hasn't desserted you.

Goodluck to you all during this hard TWW..

Hi Everyone -

21 - how are you going? I hope AF has stayed away.

Ruth - sticky vibes for you, stay positive - I always think we you least expect something to happen, that's when it does so this could be your month

Azz - sorry to hear of your BFN, I hope you ae doing okay

Millymoo - fingers crossed your levels rise over the weekend

Minniemouse - thanks for the update on Bel. Big hugs for her.

AFM - 10 sleeps until BT. I'm doing a natural FET so no drugs and I feel completely normal, just like a regular cycle - not sure if that is a good thing or not. Trying not to get paranoid about eveything and staying positive.

Sticky vibes to everyone.
Take care
LNB

Hi Ruth, don't be too negative, my last cycle I had light bleeding I was sure of a BFN but then I had a BFP.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know that Bel is in hospital with OHSS.

Oh I hope you are correct and Bel is o.k. I remember earlier this year, someone on this forum had severe OHSS and she was very pg.

Hi LNB, FET are always good isn't it, especially when they are following your natural cycle? However I was so fustrated last month as I didn't ovulate and my cycle lasted for 46 days. It freaked me out cos I thought because of the stim cycle it has permanent stuff up my natural cycle. This month, it has gone back to normal so I am very pleased. The anticipation and wait is still killing me though.

[JBM]

great a new thread. well i am officially in the TWW again !

ruth: what were you doing up at 6.56 am on a saturday? thats just too early for me. it's so hard the TWW, we try to analyse everything, i know. try to be positive. i know who am i to talk but i am trying to not analyse everything this time and keep moving forward. hugs to you and good luck. when do you test ?

Lnb:10 days and counting down , good luck . hoping for lots of BFP's in here this month.

everyone else in TWW


afm: well i had bubsicle tfer on friday. 3 day embryo so now the TWW begins. i feel way more relaxed this time and not so negative as last time. the truth is i would love a BFP and third time lucky could be the one for me.

i've got acupuncture booked on tue and my dh and i are organising a fun day for our anniversary which is a week after testing day, so i hope all this will keep me busy.

good luck all and chat soon

[Possums]

good luck everyone

Hey everyone,

I'm a 1st time IVFer and TWWer with a 6 day emby hopefully hatching and attaching as we speak! Who would have thought I could join a club? Sorry if this message turns up somewhere unrelated but clearly I'm clueless.

I just wanted to try and join in, but anything could happen. I've reached a place (I'm sure you know it well) where I can't fit in any new information in my brain and learning to drive this site is more than I can manage today.

I don't know how to do a signature so a bit about me to begin, I'm 34, well 35 next week. DH (what the??) is 35 and we've been together 14 years.

It's great to read along with your posts so hopefully I'll have something to contribute sometime. Until then, I'll just enjoy the ride with you all.

Take care.

[Murph01]

Hi Possums,
if you read my post, you'll see I just joined but I've been reading for a while, sometimes with adrenaline through the night following everyones journeys. I'm sorry I just realised what that emoticon with angel was when I saw your mood was sad. My husband, looking over my shoulder one time debated it could be anything bad as it looked so happy. Now i see your 8 week angel and i understand. I feel really sad for you. Words don't do a lot to heal but knowing people care, like the ones on this site must help you to feel that you're not alone. I hope you don't feel alone this week although it will be undoubtedly tough.

Be patient with yourself and allow time to heal. I'm sure many will be thinking of you and wishing you well.

[Bloom]

Hi JBM - welcome to the TWW - all the best for your little embie!

Murph - welcome too! I hope your little 6 day one is behaving itself and attached as instructed!

Now, I need some advice from more experienced TWWers... does it do your head in too? What do you do to manage? I was in tears a lot today just too emotional to do much. I'm thinking how early can I test??? I don't think I can handle this for another 11 days!

[LNB]

Hi Everyone -

I think I have lost track since the new thread started...

Ruth08 - stay positive hun. I'm sure the days in the TWW are twice as long as any other day. Are you on any progest. treatment ? I was on Crinone in my last cycle and it was worse than any of the other drugs during the stim. I was moody and emotional the whole time, I cried at anything and everything, poor DH. Depending on what you are on, BT or HPT will be influenced by the hormones and may give you a false reading. Hope your new role goes well tomorrow.

Yvette - I agree, Crinone is evil. I am not on it this FET and it is so much better. I hope you are surviving with it.

Bel - big bugs and hope you are doing well and maybe out of hospital ?

Kahlan - hope all is well with you

JBM - sticky vibes for you, fingers crossed for 3rd time lucky

Murph01- welcome to the TWW, hope your blastie is following instructions!

To all the other lovely ladies in the TWW, sticky vibes and good thoughts to you all. I think there were a few BT early this week - sending good sticky thoughts to you all for BFP's.

AFM - 9 sleeps to go ....feeling great and trying to stay positive,

Take care everyone,
LNB

Hi Ladies

Azzrenae & Neptune: thinking of you both, sorry this one wasn't the one for you both.

Milliemoo: Hoping your numbers are going up.

Bel: Take care, OHSS is really scary. Hopefully you get a good result to make the pain & discomfort worth it.

AFM: BT this morning, so now just waiting for my phone call. Had a bit of spotting yesterday, but it went away and cramping most of last night and this morning with a little bit more spotting, so not feeling confident this is the cycle. Oh well, I have waited so long for the BT to come around, so hopefully only a few more hours until I know if it is a BFP or BFN.

Will keep you all updated on the result....

[Bengal]

good luck kellyd

[Baby Dreamtime]

Hi lovely ladies,
I am back from Canberra after 4 days holiday (who goes to Canberra for a holiday? well it was my SIL's wedding). But not at all rested, DH and I had trouble on the double bed, and lots of running around for the wedding. At least the 4 days went by like a dream.

I caved in today and did POAS with a Lullaby Conceptions 10ml. I am 10dpo, it was a BFN. I was really hoping to be one of the lucky ones who gets an early positive. But I am sitting here holding no hope. I can't convince myself that there is still a chance, maybe if it had been a natural cycle and fertilisation could have been delayed and implantation could have been delayed, but no chance. I had 2 beautiful blasties transfered on Wed, surely implantation would have taken place by now, and there would be at least 10 ml of HCG in my system. I spoke with my clinic this morning, and asked to do my BT on Friday, so only 4 more sleeps. Anyway, enough about me and my negativity.

KellyD - good luck with you BT today, I hope it is the BFP you pray for, will be looking out for your results

LNB - only 9 sleeps to go, I am crossing my fingers for you and praying that this is the month for you

Ruth - as you can see from my post above, I have already started, and will keep going until BT day, I would rather do this than have blind hope, at least I feel like I am preparing myself, not that it will make the result and easier to bear. But I guess it is different for everyone. Hope you are staying positive!

Kahlan - Good luck with you FET today, sending you lots of sticky vibes and hoping the 29th brings you a fabulous BFP

Bel - I hope it is great news for you, sounds promising but so sorry for the OHSS, I hope it is the best result at the end, will look out for your news.

Azzrenae and Neptune - so sorry to hear your news, we all know how it hurts, I hope you are looking after yourselves

Murph - welcome, fingers crossed for you too and here's hoping that your first time round is the one

Possums - I cried when I read your post, I am so sorry, it is just not fair. I hope you are ok and taking care of yourself.

If I have missed anyone, sending you lots of sticky vibes, baby dust and luck and prayers. Hoping for a speedy TWW. Hugs xx

[TaRhLi.]

Well, the results are in and as anticipated it was a BFN. Bit bummed but hopefully AF will show her ugly head in the next couple of days.

The clinic girls are checking with my FS to see if I can do a new cycle straight away, so am now waiting for another phone call to see if we can do another FET in November. PO'd it didn't work this time, but at least we are lucky enough to have spares.

Good luck to the remaining girls in the TWW, I'll check in on you to see how you are all going and hopefully will be back again really soon.

[Murph01]

Hi everyone and thank you for welcoming me. I already have my first sticky question after trawling the internet with no luck and realising the experts are those that go through this.

I'm on day 7 after my embryo transfer and today have light pink spotting (i guess it is). I'm taking crinone pessaries and applicators so I can't get a clear description. Is this the implantation spotting I hear about? I'm new at IVF but not at all new at TTC!

Thanks

[Baby Dreamtime]

Hi KellyD, I am so sorry to hear that, I hope you are ok, and that AF arrives soon so you can move forward. I did my FETs back to back, so hopefully you can get started right away no problem. And great news that you have plenty frosties. I wish you all the best for the coming cycle and a BFP at the end. Hugs xx

[JBM]

hi all
murph:welcome to TWW . crione gel can make some spotting, call your clinic and chat to the nurses they know best. good luck

possums: so sorry for your loss. it's a hard thing and nothing i can say will make it better. smile and try to move forward. i am thinking of you.

ruth: yes the TWW does your head in for sure !!!! i have never made it to test day without testing and i obsess about evrything my body is doing, in fact i am doing it right now as my breasts feel a little tingly. why do we do this to ourselves, i'll never know.
i do know i will be trying my hardest to not test early as i did this with 1st tfer and got a BFP then started af 4 days later, was so bad for me knowing i'd lost another one. hope you can be strong.

lnb:wow not long to go now . yeah hoping for lots of BFP's in here

kelly so sorry BFN, next time for you.

babydreamtime: those poas tests are a pain, maybe theres still a chance, good luck.

afm: well theres 12 days and counting to do test and i feel every little tingle my body is having. is it pms ??? why? i don't know.
i hav had a little bit sore breasts today and embie would be day 6 today .?
i don't know if i have had implantation or not ?

anyway i am trying to relax and i've got acupuncture tomorrow and i am trying to relax
who knows if it will work. i'll keep you informed.
hugs to all
