LTTTC Two Week Wait - Oct/Nov 08

[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

[Kahlan]

Hi all,

Sorry no personals as I am on the run. Thought I drop in to let you know how I went.

Yes! got the BFP. HCG is at 318 and P4 at 84.4 which is all good! I am on cloud nine...

I am sending all my luck to all of you who are still in the TWW...

[on tra_k]

got the BFP

CONGRATULATIONS yay Kahlan

Bel, LNB - thanks for the answers on the crinone ... I went better today ... just a bit of "gummy" stuff, not great globs ... can't wait to finish the stuff though!!

Curlygirl - I should've remembered that your test is the same day as mine ... I have to wait until Tues for result ... but I might POAS in the meantime *sneaky*

smithy - hope your ET went well today and you join us over here in the tww

Hey guys,
I'm just popping in to give you another perspective to the IVF merry-go-round. First though, Kahlan, and LNB what wonderful news . I really am happy for you and wish you all the best.

As for me, well girls, be prepared for a wet blanket but I guess you have to be prepared for the bad as well. I am on day 17 after egg pickup and still no AF. However....don't get excited, I got bloods done yesterday and I am very unpregnant...about as unpregnant as you can get. My level was 2 where it should be 90. At least I know though and I would rather that than wait any longer with all this hope and no damn AF, it messes with your mind.

I won't hide it, i intellectualised like I wouldn't be crushed, but I was and all that stuff about getting back on the horse, well I will but not straight away. I was shocked by just having so much emotion but you all know what it's like whether you get a good result or bad.

Anyway I'm going to Melb for my Mum's 60th tomorrow..and I can drink!!!! Funny I read a Melbourne girl on this thread is coming up to Port Douglas (my neck of the woods) and I'm heading to Melb.

Thanks for all your wishes this month. Stay well everyone.

So sorry Murph...and yes I totally agree, this merri-go-round really does mess with ones mind.
Take care of yourself..enjoy Melbourne and spending time with your family..

Wouldloveababa - 4 and 5 day emies sound like 2 days after EPU. I had the same 2 x 4cell. To be honest, my clinic tries to grow to blastie (5days) but because I only ended up with 2 successful embies - they weren't willing to take the chance of them not surviving - so in they went. All the best for the TWW..

Hi -

Curlygirl - I believe EPU is day 0 in DPO calculations...

Murph- so sorry to hear your result, it is such a rollercoaster. Take care of yourself and I hope you can to relax and enjoy time with your family this weekend.

WLB - sticky vibes to you ! Our embies were day 3 after thaw (frozen at day 2 4 cells), 6 and 10 cells after the thaw and then bigger by ET day but I can't remember the cell count. My FS kept telling me it only takes one to stick !

Sending good thoughts to everyone.

Take care,
LNB

MinnieMouse - Thanks for your reply, I am at day 2 post epu today, and originally we were thinking of day 5 transfers b/c of my history with m/c - however as we are going away sat, we decided we would go for day 2 transfer - as I started with 11 eggs - I learnt today we only had 2 suitable for ET - FS said she would have rang me to come in and transfer at day 2 instead of 5 anyway - Im upset at having no frosties is

I know I need to be positive - but that means if I get a BFN - we have to wait till next year b/c of xmas closure etc - oh well what can you do

Murph: Im feeling for you - I know what a rollercoaster ttc is - it's me who is coming up to Port Douglas and your coming to melb - enjoy having a drink at your mums birthday - we should catch up for coffee when you get back to p/d

Don't think it should be a problem since I was told crinone absorbs pretty quickly but I would check with the clinic if I were you. Good luck with the TWW.. I have my fingers cross that by the time you get back from holidays you will get your BFP

[Possums]

kahlan- wooohooo!!!! congratulations...wonderful news

[MsPink]

YAY KAHLAN...CONGRATULATIONS

[*Paula*]

Congratulation Kahlan... Wow we are really on a roll in here!! Lets hope those BFP keep coming for the rest of us.

Wishing you a wonderful pregnancy Kahlan. Make sure you keep us all updated. Well done!!!

[LNB]

Hi Ladies -

Kahlan - congratulations on your BFP, that is fantasic! What is your due date? Did you have 1 or 2 embies in the ET? Wishing you all the best for a H&H 9 months.

To all the wonderful ladies in the TWW thread, thank you so much for your thoughts and notes, it is really so wonderful to be able to share the joys and challenges of this process with such supportive and understanding friends.

Paula - hope you are feeling better today

MinnieMouse - how are you? Everything crossed for a BFP for you for a BFP for this month

KellyD- I hope all the November and December girls get BFP's for Christmas , that would be so wonderful

WLB - welcome to the TWW. Sending you lots of stickyvibes

Sam - good luck for your BT tomorrow. I got AF on DPO12 when I was on Crinone in my last cycle so it does not always delay or stop AF from coming.

Curlygirl - I had cramping more on my left side until about DPO 32 (I ovulated late last cycle) and then it went away.

JBM - thinking of you for your FET in November

On_Tra_K - crinone is the worst and yes it is normal (as gross as that is) for it to come out in clumps. I was told it was normal and not to worry as it is absorbed rapidly.

Sending lots of sticky vibes and prayers to everyone in the TWW and will pop in to see lots of BFP's for everyone.

Take care,
LNB

Congrats to Kahlan and LNB

Do you ladies know what stage cell wise your embies were at when you had your ET ??

Isnt it amazing to see them on the screen - I wish I had a picture
