LTTTC Two Week Wait - Oct to Nov

[theresep]

Sonialouise - can they do a quick bt to check your progesterone levels??

[LondonMiss]

Lise - many many congratulations. That's wonderful news.
SL - lol! the first week I was pregnant, the most noticable sign was that I was farting like a hippo... so maybe that's a sign for you? I wish you all the very best luck for the next few days.
Theresep - good luck for the next couple of days.
Everyone else - lots of sticky vibes for you all.

As for me, I've had a couple of glasses of sparkling shiraz which I must say I am not quite sure about. I'm feeling really really fat. The injections do nothing for your weight or body image do they!?

Murraycod - thanks for the info. I'm here in Australia for two years, possible three, from London, and I wanted Miss London but I think I managed to get it the wrong way round... Anyway. bed time I think. Night all x

[sonyalouise]

LIse- I know that i said this in the other thread but I can't resist wishing you a big fat congratulations.

Your hCG levels indicate there is one, but I could be wrong. Both times I was pregnant at my first test my levels were between 160 and 180. With two they should be double that. But then again everyone is different so you never know, they could have implanted at different times.

Londonmiss- I didnt want to mention it but I am also farting a lot

theresep- unfortunately it is very difficult for me to get the test at short notice, they didnt suggest it and I didn't ask for it. I probably should have but I dont think there is much more they could have done except increase my pogestrone anyway. only one more day and all should become clear, I hope!!!
I hope the day doesn't drag on too much for you.

Sonyalouise, thanks for that info on hcg levels. As this is my first ever BFP I'm really not sure what it means. Two would be a quick instant family, but i'll settle just for one healthy baby.

Thanks ladies for your support! DH and I are super excited and super scared too. Like many of us my head hadn't really thought this far, I've been focusing on conception for so long.

theresep and sonyalouise - almost there!! Am thinking of you and praying for you both that this is the one.

LondonMiss - sometimes that glass of wine is exactly what your head needs even if your body is rebelling by feeling fat. Enjoy it I say, you've got enough going on without adding guilt to the mix.

Hello to everyone else, sending the stickiest vibes to all.

Well ladies, its a sad old morning for me - AF has arrived, no spotting, just full flow. This is exactly what happened with my 1st stim cycle back in March. Then she showed up 2 days before the BT, this time its one day before, and i've had a fair bit of pain in the abdomen went back to bed for an hour, and the pain has nearly gone, so now i'm drinking some camomile tea to help ease things on the inside.
@#$%*@!!!#@**!! is what i really want to shout out to the world.
Dh is away until Sat - haven't told him yet, he will be devastated. He thinks my body is rejecting his dna

You know, i've not told anyone this, but way back before we were married, we broke up for a while - i think DH just really had to get it right in his head that he did want to be with me - if that makes sense? Anyway, you know what one of his reasonings was? He said "what if it turns out that one of us is infertile, so that if we didn't have children, and we only had each other, would we be happy with that?" So he went off travelling, realised that he did want to be with me..... and now look at what is on our plate it sends a shiver through me when i think of it. I know that i will be ok if i don't have children, and i can only pray that DH will be ok too.

Sorry for the me post - i really hope that the rest of you have much better news then me. My bt tomorrow will just confirm what i already know

theresep - I'm soo soo sorry, i'm not in the 2ww(it's coming up), but I had to offer a cyber hug ( ). Your DH sounds like mine, a very sensitive, loving partner. That means, he thought long and hard and clearly made the right decision to get back with you and marry you.

I've also had AF arrive just before BT, it's a ***t I know. Take care, and I hope your and DH's dream comes true very soon.

Hi ladies been really busy at work today which is not really a bad thing cause it keeps my mind off the 2WW. 7 days to go now and starting to feel a bit crazy had a really weird day yesterday started off with really low cramps on the left side the last night just as we sat down for dinner starting to get stabbing pains in my back..what's that all about is all I kept thinking.

So glad to hear that some of us have had some good news and my thoughts go out to those who are feeling down.

Theresep try to stay positive you never know you might be one of the ones that gets a AF even with a postivie

Theresep - I am so sorry to hear about the arrival of AF. These things never get any easier. My DH and I had a bit of a break before getting back together. I actually know quiet a few other couples who have done the same. I think it can help to put your thoughts and feelings into perspective..... Also, I have read that more positive pregnancies are achieved via FET than as part of the stim. I notice that you have had a previous little angel from a FET. that once you body has had time to recover you will get another little miracle and your & DH's dreams come true.

Lise - congratulations on your BFP. You must be so excited to finally achieved your dream. Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy. It offers a beacon of hope that we will all get there one day (hopefully soon) with a little perseverance!

LondonMiss - I have been feeling a bit fat this week.... it is so hard to worry about your diet on top of everything else with IVF & TTC. I keep telling my self not to worry if I get pregnant I will only get fatter . Glad to here about your lovely follicles and all the best for your IUI.

SonjaLouise - Glad to hear that your bleeding has stopped. that will be the last of it and it was only implantation bleeding.

Murrycod - good luck in your TWW. I hope it passed quickly and doesn't drive you too crazy. Re your below question - at EPU most people are fully sedated (I had this) and don?t remember the collection, although I have heard of a couple of clinics that use a lighter sedation. In the latter you are awake but you are still pretty out of it.

Terry - Good luck as you count down to your BT. Being bust at work is always good, as you say helps keep you nice and distracted.

AFM - Thank you all for your lovely wishes. I am feeling a bit better day, although still no strong signs either way. I am having a few tweaks and twinges but no strong cramping or anything like when I had my chemical pregnancy... (not sure if that is a good or a bad sign). TMI warning.... I am also having a wet felling down below. I keep thinking it's AF but when I go to toilet it's clear. Not sure what that's all about
