LTTTC Two Week Wait - Sept to Oct

[LondonMiss]

Did they call you back yet Seph? I was at MIVF this morning (8.15) and was peering at people wondering if they were you so I could wish you luck

Ooh, spooky. I arrived at 8:10, had the blood test and was out of there by 8:20 (miraculous! I'm usually waiting for at least 30 minutes when I have an appointment!) I didn't notice anyone peering at me, although I've often wanted to write "persephone" across my forehead to see if anyone responded...perhaps I'll try that next time.

Nurses called later this morning and said my progesterone was 87, which for 11dpo is apparently good. No LP support necessary. Anything above 30 is considered a good result, but I don't know anything about that. FS was happy about it anyway.

Meanwhile, bbs are tingly, and I noticed them when I tried to sleep on my belly last night. Not 'sore' exactly, just tingly. My appetite is variable and I spent all night burping my dinner. I was also watching tv, and when an advert for McDonalds came on I almost threw up looking at the fries. Now, I know Mackas isn't quality food, but I've never had an aversion to fries. I felt ill all night.

But today the full bladder feeling has all but disappeared. No more brown cm, just white. The nausea is sort of...not there. I mean, one minute I'm desperately hungry, and then only ate half my lunch because I felt ill. Is there an emoticon for insanity? that'll do.

So, DH thinks I'm preggers. I'm too scared to say that out loud yet, but will poas tomorrow - 12dpo. I'm scared it'll be a BFN even if I am pregnant, so I'm not sure I actually will go through with testing. Dying for Friday to come (14dpo), and desperate for my BT next Monday.

Thanks for your support ladies, it's getting me through. I have to dash off and do the grocery shop before DH gets home.

Will update tomorrow,
Seph

87 is good for 11 DPO I would say!! Yeh!! my first BT (they don't do one till day 14) was 60 and they said they'd like to see between 80 -100 and then double from there roughly every 48 hours. so day 11 87 is great! can't find the fingers crossed smilley so I'll leap for you instead!!

[LondonMiss]

Yeah - we'll leap for you just in case I think airline might have a point....

Hubby and I supposed to be going with friends for a nice weekend (well overnight) in a lovely hotel: dinner, stupid golf for him, lounging for me, no early dog walking, spa treatments etc. Just had a call from the clinic and my IUI is Saturday 1pm. Which means golf is out... oh dear.... wifely mollification required....

Wifely mollification? Ha! Sometimes I apologise to DH that IVF treatment has interuppted our plans, and then I remember that it's ME who has to have the scans, blood tests, fanny explorations, speculums, period pain, bleeding, cm testing...I could go on. I think I've missed so many hours of work this year for IVF treatment/appointments to equate to a full fortnight of Leave. DH has missed about 1 1/2 days total. Pfft. Your DH should by mollifying YOU!

(I really love my DH, in case anyone was wondering).

Update: bbs are SORE now.

[airline]

persephone..I'm with you love!! We do go through a ****load don't we??!! I'm pretty sure all the DHs out there are supportive and as understanding as possible at all times...but it doesn't hurt to remind them very, very, very rarely, I'll play the 'I have all this done to me' card....then ask for a footrub

ooh and that's a good thing sore (.) (.) perse.

[Miss.B]

Seph, this waiting is just killing me!!!!!! And I'm not even the one testing! lol. I have a really good feeling darl, lots of good signs for you. Stay positive and imagine yourself preggers, can't hurt hey?!

Good luck hun!

[Persephone1]

I woke up this morning and thought "AF is here." But no, not today.

I've done two HPTs - one Crystal Clear, one Lullaby Conceptions.

We have four lines. Two dark, two faint - but definite, and visible from across the room.



Oh, and I feel sick!

I'll test again on Friday, then will need to get through the weekend for my BT on Monday.

I will bbl for more, have to go.

[Baby Dreamtime]

OMG OMG OMG Seph, I am so excited for you, sounds very promising, mine was a lucky # 7 too. Have everything crossed for you xx

[lise]

seph - I haven't posted in the 2WW thread yet but just had to say it certainly does sound promising. Am thinking of you.

lise xx

[Miss.B]

Seph, oh wow that sounds very promissing!!!! I had my BT brought forward b/c I had tested pos. on the HTP, maybe you can do the same???? Keeping everything so tighttly crossed it hurts! lol.

[tantee]

OMG Seph!!! I am so hopeful and excited for you.
I really hope this is it for you!!!!!

[mitf]

Step - OMG I am so excited and hopeful that it might be lucky #7 for you! I will be that this is finally your turn.

[LondonMiss]

I'm going out with the girls tonight (on a school night!!!! I'm so excited which just shows you how often I go out.....) and will have a glass of exceedingly provisional celebratory champagne for you Seph Got to get a couple in before IUI on saturday....

[LondonMiss]

wish that made me sound slightly less like an alcoholic...

[Persephone1]

You Girls are lovely, thank you for all your kind thoughts.

Doing okay. I walked around with the HPT in my pocket all day and kept checking that the second line hadn't disappeared. If anything I've become more convinced that it's a second line, not just a blur.

(.)(.) area bit sore still, not terrible, just noticeable. Nausea is a bit odd - it comes between breakfast and lunch, when I can feel my tummy is empty, so it's hard to work out whether it's just hunger pains or nausea. NO SPOTTING TODAY! In all my IVF records that I've kept, the only time I didn't have spotting by 12dpo was in April when I had a chemical pregnancy - and even that pregnancy never registered on a HPT - I only knew about it because of my BT.

Saw my acupuncturist this evening, which was lovely as always. Hoping it's helped to keep this one (two?) in there.

So...I find myself wondering what it might be like to BE pregnant, rather than just TRYING to get pregnant. It's a very odd feeling, especially as we've never got to this point before. I'm also a bit confused about how I think of this - is a singleton in there? Or did both of them make it? My brain is truly like cotton wool at the moment.

Will come back in on Friday to report on my 14dpo HPT. that this is a sticky one/two!

[airline]

OMG to echo others responses...it's all sounding perfect!! I can only imagine how you must be feeling...the one? or two? on top of everything else....wow!!! we're all hanging out so let us know when you can/feel up to sharing any news.

[wishes]

Seph - OMG I am getting so excited for you. I've been keeping an eye on your progress and everything so far is sounding really positive. I have absolutely everything crossed for you that this is your turn for a BFP. I can't wait to hear about your HPT results tomorrow and I will continue to hope and pray that you get your long-awaited BFP on Monday. Good luck.

Wishes xoxo
