LTTTC Two Week Wait - Oct/Nov 08

[Kahlan]

Thanks girls. Will keep you posted with my BT results

Congrats to our BFP girls this month. With Kahlan to join you all tomorrow when she get her definite BFP from the BT, it has been a good month.

Hopefully November will be just as good for the girls hanging around in the TWW at the moment and also for the girls joining in the next couple of weeks. Lets see if the November girls can get more BFP's than the October girls and then the December girls even more so we have lots of BFP's for Xmas.

KellyD, I hope Nov is your month... I agree that with so much frosties it is hard to choose which ones you will have transferred, that's why I suggested to grow some of the day 3s into day 5 because success rate with day 5 is much higher. We are very luck to have blast frosties.

Hi girls

It's lovely popping in and seeing you get BFP 's - congratulations

I will be coming across tommorow as I have out ET tommorow afternoon - 11 eggies collected, so tommorow we find out how our little eggies are going -

So again congrats, and I look forward to getting to know you all .xx

Hi WLB, how exciting. 11 eggs is a very good number.. hope they all grow... grow little ones.

Hi Ladies,

I was hoping I could join this thread.

I'm currently doing my first cycle of ICSC/IVF. I had my EPU on 15 October (14 eggs collected, 10 fertilised and 8 situable embie's) and 1 ET on 17 October and this morning I have finished off my crinone and on Friday 31 October is my BT.

Can you get your period at any stage while taking crinone cream?
Once you stop taking the cream, how long after do you get a period? I havent got a period its just I'm still unsure how it all works. Am I on 14dpo?
As the days pass by are my chances of being pg good if I'm 14dpo? I have had some symptoms such as: constipation, food cravings, nausea (for 1 morning only), constant uterus pulling, dizziness and pins and needles.

sorry about all the questions.

Hi Sam, 14dpo is a very good sign indeed. What is your usual Luteal Phase like? Mine is 14-15dpo so during my stimulated cycles 2 days before bt I would get AF. You are in a very good chance of being pg indeed.

AFM - I'm on CD 25 and my normal cycle is 26/27 days. Started to cramp, feeling like AF is coming every second But cramping on the left side only Has anyone experience this before?

Hi Curlygirl, don't be overly concern. I have been getting that heavy feeling "down there" just like the feeling of a pending AF in the past couple of days. Sometimes I would feel a little cramp on my left side as well but it goes away. I wish you all the best for the next two days. The days leading up to AF due date is always anxiety provoking. I have been checking myself every few hours to make sure that it hadn't arrive.

To everyone else, wishing you are all well.

Kahlan- All the best for BT tomorrow. Will be lurking all day to hear your good news.

Lulu- xxxxx

Hope everyone is getting through their TWW without going bonkers!!

Thinking of you all

Big hugs Bel

Hi Everyone -


Just popped in quickly as I am in Sydney for work but wanted to check on how everyone in going.

Kahlan - fingers and everything crossed for you for BT today. I feel like I have to wee every five minutes so that is a good sign - sending lots of positive thoughts to you.

Will do more personals tonight but thinking of everyone and sending good thoughts to everyone.

Take care,
LNB

lnb: yeah!!!! i am so happy for you. good luck and hope it all goes well.

[*Paula*]

wouldloveabubba good luck with ET today. Hope the rest of your embies have grown nicely and you get lots of frosties.

Welcome Samantha, fingers crossed that all those symptoms lead to a BFP.

curlygirl hope that AF stays away from you and you too get your BFP!

Kahlan, best of luck today. Cant wait to hear your good news!!!

Not much to report on my half. Just have a big headache this morning, felt fine then, bang it hit me and all i want to do is curl up and sleep but unfortunately, i dont think that would go down to well at work... hehe

Have a great day ladies!

LNB - CONGRATULATIONS what exciting news. Being a naive beginner, I've been saying to my husband that this IVF stuff must really work because there are HEAPS of people getting pregnant in this thread. Hope there is still a bit of baby dust floating around for the rest of us.
Kahlan - good luck with your BT today, hopefully it's just a formality and gives you the good news you've been waiting for. How exciting to get a second line after your BFN on the first POAS test!
Murph01 - I like your attitude ... I'm still secretly hoping for a second line for you ...
curlygirl - when is your BT? Must be soon ... hang in there ...
Paula - Yay! in the TWW again and well done with the frosties - exciting
wouldloveabubba - good luck for your ET today
Samantha - welcome, I hope you get some answers to your questions as I was also wondering the same about crinone/af. I have two days of crinone to go but then the weekend gets in the way so I have to wait until Monday for BT and Tuesday for results ... Good luck with your BT tomorrow.
Neptune, Bel, Lulu, BecE, KellyD and everyone else in the thread - hi

AFM - 5 more sleeps until BT results; a few little twinges but not sure what that means. For the last two days I've been having trouble with crinone coming back out in big creamy globs within an hour or so of putting it in (sorry if tmi). I figure there isn't too much I can do about it but I'm a bit worried that I won't be getting a full dose. Has anyone else had this problem?

[Bel]

Rachel- Yep...that is one on the not so nice things about crinone. Lovely big clumps like wet toilet paper exiting your body. Don't worry, it's completely normal and apparently your body absorbs out of it what it needs. It's just YUCKY!!!

Kahlan- waiting to hear your good news!

Lulu- Always lurking!!

Hope everyone has a great day

Hugs Bel

Thank you all for welcoming me ladies and thanks for your best wishes for ET today - Im sorry if I dont do any personals for this note, I am at work and left a personals is LTTTC thread, so I better get some work done before I leave - (oh yeah .. sure wlb) but I have to say thanks, curlygirl, kahlan, paula and on-trak - thank you, xx

I wanted to ask about the crinone, we are going away Sat - to lovely Port Douglas and I wanted to know would you guys swim and snorkell after having et, will swimming absorbe the crinone ? My MIA even asked should I be flying ? Life has to go on as normal I know, but its nice to hear everyone's experiences - its our first (and hopefully last) et, so its all new to us ..

Thank you x

Murph01 - sorry to hear that there was no "beginners luck" for you this cycle ... hopefully one of those frosties will be the ONE for you. Hope you enjoyed your Mum's 60th today and AF didn't join the party ... if the drugs are going to hold it off for that long I hope they held it off for the extra day so you could enjoy your social life ...
curlygirl - hope the weekend is bearable good luck for your test on Monday ...
wouldloveabubba - for you as you work through your feelings. I'd love to be able to see what goes on in the lab because I have scientific training and I think the whole process is amazing. Like you said I found it a super special privilege to see my embie on the screen prior to transfer ... mine was a blast (day-5). Re. feelings about the loss rate ... I guess I was measuring up our performance against all the stats ... we started out with above average fertilisation rate and pretty good flow through to day 2 but then over half didn't make it to blast so I was a bit disappointed after such a good start. I'm focussing on the positive that I don't have to go through all the months of transfers of those ones that were never going to make it.
Samantha - how did you go with your BT today ...
minniemouse - just read almost the whole thread to find out where your are in your tww ... on the downward slide to BT day now I'll try to hold out until Mon to POAS ... my logic is that if I wasn't in the middle of nowhere I'd have my results same day so POAS isn't really cheating ...
Belle75 - welcome aboard ...
Ruth08 - thinking of you ...
Mels77, Possums, Paula, Neptune, Lulu, BecE, KellyD and everyone else in the thread - hi
BulieJ, Bel, Kahlan, LNB - keep spreading your around here, it's wonderful to have you keeping an eye on us all

AFM - another weekend looming but at least there is a BT on the other side of it for me ; I had a pretty serious session in the garden today ... wondering the whole time if I should really be working up such a sweat ... if I have a sticky one on board it will just have to be super sticky to keep up with my lifestyle!!

Hi Ladies,

Well yesterday was a very shocking day. I am PREGNANT AND SHOCKED. My hcg levels are 251. Thanks for asking Rachel.
