Sorry for the lack of personals- I've been popping in now and then to check on how everyone is but have been felling pretty blah and haven't wanted to bring you all down.
Coral- that is wonderful, my love! Well done to you. After reading your efforts with the HPTs I was quietly confident for you. I'm so pleased.
Meanwhile...
Melttc- I'm feeling for you Honey. You sound pretty together in your post-I hope you're feeling ok about it. Fingers crossed for the next cycle.
Terry- Nice work on the new job! You're right- that basically guarantees a pregnancy soon, doesn't it??
AFM- Well, to use Simpsons phraseology I'm feeling craptacular. After feeling pretty good throughout the treatment and the first week of the TWW I have come down with a thud.
It's nothing specific and I certainly don't have any confirmation of failure yet but just don't have a good feeling. The first few days after ET I had some very mild cramping and stitch-like feelings as well as a definite poking sensation that I convinced myself was implantation. That all subsided for a few days and I felt nothing but a distinct heaviness in that area which was encouraging. Since Friday however, I've had much stronger cramping which is very much like period pain and I've become less and less confident as the days pass. I usually have a 27-28 day cycle and today is day 27 so I'm pretty much expecting AF to appear at any moment.
My clinic does things a little differently and have given me a highly sensitive HPT to do on Thursday and then I'm tentatively scheduled for a BT on Friday. I'm tempted to POAS but I did my last injection of Pregnyl on Wednesday so I'm concerned that will still be in my system.
Sorry to be a downer, girls. This TWW business sure does suck!! Hopefully I'll snap out of this soon. While AF stays away, there's still hope, right??
hello ladies......going somewhat crazy here, but will get to that at the end.
Firstly a few personals
Coral- I am so happy for youthat is such fabulous news
Meg- ((hugs)) its monday your not meant to have a good day on a monday. The second week is far harder than the first IMO
airline- have a fab time away & GL with your POAS.
star-bright- ((hugs)) hope tomorrow is better for you
Baby2bee- I like the idea of no ironing personally, I cut my fingers quite badly once and dr told me no washing dishes.....dh offered to go buy me some rubber gloves
London Miss- huge hugs going out to you
Mel- huge ((hugs)) for you too hun, Im sorry
Leabie- welcome aboard
I know Ive missed some, so sorry girls I hope all is well for you & ((hugs)) for those who need them
AFM- OK now me. Was having a pretty good day, I handed in my resignation at work and got to annouce to all that I have this fabulous new job that im going too.
Then *warning TMI* when I got home I went to the loo and found blood, not tonnes but some on the loo-paper and every time I wiped there was more, and its bright red. Now I have been madly googling and now Im even more confused, most sites say implantaion bleeding is pink-brownish some say bright red. All say around this time. I am 10dp epu, 6dp et (dont ya love the way we get to talk in code around here? lol)
Maybe its the start of AF?? Sometimes previously I have spotted for many days before AF has arrived, but from memory (isnt it funny how our memory fades when desperaly needed?) Im sure its a darker? but then maybe not.......oh this is making me totally crazy
Thank you LondonMiss, Star~Bright, Baby2Bee, airline, lise, Meg76, Tracy and Leabie.... Thank you so much ladies !
Star~Bright - I can definitely relate to having a 'I'm not UTD day' and that was why I POAS'd in the 1st place! Was so convinced that it would be a negative that I just wanted to put myself out of my misery! Hope you are feeling better and more confident today and sending you lots and lots of !
Airline - Good Luck if you decide to POAS either today or tomorrow... 'ing that those magic two little lines appear! Sorry, I can't help your with you question regarding susan robinson, however, am praying that her dreams have come true..
Meg76 - After reading you post... your symptoms sound a little similar to mine so try not to get too discouraged! I hope you are feeling better today and also sending you lots and lots of !
Meg76/ LondonMiss - It could be double trouble, he, he! I should know more on Friday as having another BT to read Hcg levels....I will post and let you all know if it is looking like a singleton or twins!
Tracy - Congratulations on the job! That is fantastic news - yay! So happy for you! I have read the same as you where girls have had either pink, brown or actual red... I am so 'ing for you that it is implantation bleeding!
Leabie - You will not be able to live without BB as it becomes so addictive, he, he! As I mentioned, I don't think that I could have gotten through all this without all the support of the ladies on here! Sending you lots and lots of !
LondonMiss & Meg76 - This one is for you girls (and everyone else of course)! As this was my main concern, I googled this question for hours on the web! This was the most useful information I found out (and it was in mentioned on several different web pages):
'HCG has a half life of 33 hrs.....so every 33 hrs half of what is left is gone. This is based on "average" metabolism.'
eg. 10,000 units would turn to 5,000 units 33hrs later and so on... (I would add another 33hrs once you get to '0 left in your system' just in case to well and truley make sure that you are in the clear!)
Murraycod - Good Luck for the next couple of days! I am so praying that it will be a BFP for you!
Wishing everyone the best of luck and sending out lots and lots of to all! I will keep a close eye out and hope to see more BFP's come rolling in!
