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.

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.

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]

thanks buliej- there's always a chance right

[curlygirl]

wouldloveabubba and lulu - i'm so sorry guys...hang in there and big for you

possum - miracles do happen, so

belle - congratulations!!!

[Neptune]

Good luck Possums, you never know your luck, and have fun in the process!!

[Possums]

p.s. I have experienced ovulation pain on both sides this month...anyone know why that would be? I mainly ovulate on the right side, which sadly is the side without a tube. But this month have had pain on the left, but now today my right side is aching and stabbing with what feels like ovulation pain

[Mels77]

hi ladies - i'm very excited to be joining the TWW thread! I had a FET yesterday and so far feeling good. I actually thought we were going to try naturally this month (and that my natural TWW had started a week ago). But I went to see FS and he said we could go ahead with a FET - yippee!

I'll look forward to catching up on this recent thread and to riding out the TWW with you all.

Very best, mels x

[Mels77]

possums - i sometimes get ov pain on both sides (but generally I get pain on the right). I think when I get pain on both sides it means I've ov'd from the left.
Good luck! x

[Alloy]

Mels77, hope your tww flies by!! That's great that you got to fit in an unexpected FET.

Possums, I've never had ov pain, but hopefully that is a good sign!

carr2walks, have you found anything out about your levels from yesterday? They do seem very high, hopefully that is a good sign.

AFM, I'm feeling ok today, a little tired - I don't think I slept too well last night. Had my mid-luteal blood test this morning, so it will be interesting to see how they are this afternoon.

to everyone in the tww. Anyone with a bt coming up in the next few days??

[carr2walks]

Possums- I've had the pain on both sides before and was told it was referred pain, but another time it turned out I had a dominant follicle on each side.

Mels- Good luck with your cycle!

[Possums]

Miss magpie- welcome and good luck..it's hard to relax...try and stay busy, go for nice long walks and things..acupuncture helps too


Mel- glad FEt went well..fingers crossed!


alloy and carr2walks- good luck too!

...and thanks everyone for the ovulation advice...

[MissMagpie]

Thanks for the welcome and advice Possums

[Alloy]

Welcome MissMagpie, I hope the tww goes quickly for you! I've found that keeping busy in the evenings makes the time go quicker for me. I've generally bought a new book (or 2) at the start of my tww so I have something to read. Otherwise, I'm a bit addicted to the Wii at the moment, so I'm trying to get through one of the games I've had for a while. I hope you can find something to keep you busy during the next 2 weeks.

carr2walks, my mid-luteal levels have generally been around O - 800 - 1500 and P - 50 - 120 on my medicated cycles for this year, so if mine happen to be a fair bit higher today I'll ask the nurse what that could mean, and let you know what they say.

Possums, I hope your pain has been ovulation pain!! best of luck.

to everyone else

[Alloy]

carr2walks, it is too early to do a hpt. The hcg hormone from the Pregnyl shots can stay in your system for up to a week, which could give you a false negative. Please try and avoid it, I'd hate for you to do a test, get a positive because of the shot, and then be dissapointed at bt if it was a false negative!
