LTTTC Two Week Wait - Sept to Oct

Hello Sal, I sure hope the remainder of your TWW goes well for you.

Krikit sounds positive. Best of luck with you BT tomorrow

AFM- Im out :( AF showed this morning :( I rang the clinic and they still want me to have a BT on Tuesday to rule out pg, more like to torture me :(
Ahh well, they did keep saying it was my first time and to just wait and see how we got on, but I was so hopefull and positive.
Sorry for the downer girls, I hope the rest of you get your BFP's this month, Ill be stalking you all, looking for an inkling of hope.

Cass - That is absolutely fantastic news and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

:happyforyou:


Tracey - I am so sorry hun and big hugs to you :hug:. I know how you feel about still having to go in for the BT... I had to do the same with my first BFN and found it really hard :(. It is just so not fair :wall:!

Sal - You sound exactly like me (and most probably all the girls in here!). I was so determined to just forget about it all on my 2nd transfer and think I actually obsessed about it more! Good Luck with you 2WW :goodluck:

Krikkit - Ooohhh... that is sounding good! A BIG GOOD LUCK with the BT today! I have my fingers crossed for you :crossfingers:

Hi to everyone else and good luck to all :goodluck:

Tracy - I am so sorry hun. These things never get any easier to deal with. :hug: to you. x

Krikkit - sounds promising... Good Luck today! :crossfingers: I hope it is finally your time to shine.

Tracy ~ so sorry hun :hug:. Hang in there, we'll get there soon! I feel you - I hated when I had to get a BT and I knew def what the answer was.

GL to everyone else still in :pray:

Im antisipating AF will arrive today at some stage.

POAS for the 3rd time - read a bfp (dark too!) - hoping for the best now!

crossing fingers and toes for today- BT is in an hour and then I get the results between 2-4pm. I will let you know as soon as I find out!

Krikkit,

OMG... that is so awesome and sounding very, very postive - yay!!!! I have absolutley everything crossed :crossfingers: for you that you will be confirming that BFP today :leap:!

Krikkit - sounds great, can't wait for the confirmation!! All the very best :pray:

Me too - I am hoping its not that NASTY pregnyl showing on the HPT. :pray:

Hey Girls,

Cass - Fantastic news - it is so good to see some positive's! I am so excited for you!

Krikkit - that is sounding so good! I guess you just have to wait for the final confirmation from BT today and then lok after yourself well in the coming weeks!

Tracy - sorry that it didn't happen for you either this month. I kind of know how you are feeling now that I have had my first BFN.

Sal - Welcome and GL in 2WW.

Hi to everyone else and sorry to those I have missed personally!

AFM - I think I will exit from 2WW thread given I am out for this cycle and all! I was popping back in to see how you were all travelling!
I spoke to MIVF today to find out how much for a FET so I could get our finance's in order - can you believe it is $1675.00. Thankfully we have reached safety net so it will just be out of pocket $335.00. but i am starting to see why this is a real financial drainer when you have had to go round for a few cycels. :-(
Loads n loads of babydust to you all still in the 2WW. Hope to see some BFP's come through for the rest of you!

its 3.08pm here...

still no phone call. OMG - just tell me already! :wall:

ITS A :bfp:
:leap:
YAY! I am gonna be a Mummy!

Congratulations Krikkit :dance: I am sure you will make a fantastic Mummy! All the best for a happy & health pregnancy.

Krikkit - that's fabulous, congratulations. Have a very happy and healthy pregnancy :dance:

Krikkit! Well done, :loveshower: congratulations and all the best for a H&H pregnancy.

thats awesome news congratulations Krikkit

Congratulations Krikket - that's wonderful! :happyforyou:

Krikkit...


OMG that it FANTASTIC!!!! So happy for you :happyforyou:!

So good to see a BFP - yay :hooray:!!!!

Krikkit: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is absolutely fantastic. :D

:leap: :happyforyou: :hooray: :hooray:

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Krikkit ~ hey Mummy! CONGRATULATIONS!!! So :happyforyou:
All the best for a H&H pregnancy :bluecheer::cheer:

AFM ~ AF is late but I have slight headaches so pretty sure she is still coming. But still holding onto a tiny ray of hope.

Hi and GL all!

Loops,

Fingers crossed :crossfingers: for you that AF is going to disappear for the next 9months!!

Thanks heaps Coral. I suppose you never know, stranger things have probably happened and just maybe we might be lucky enough for a miracle.
All the best to you xo

Here I am Ladies. My last TWW? Well, my last two blasties are on board, so it'd better be!

Had two Day 5's transferred today. All went well. Out of the 6 they thawed at Day 2, three survived, but the third one wasn't looking too good this morning - FS says it's unlikely to last the night. So we transferred the last two back to me.

The Nurse gave me a BT form for 14 days away! FS said I wouldn't have to wait 14 days because they're blastocysts, but obviously the Nurse didn't know that. So I um....changed the date on the BT form...:redface: I've always wanted to do it but figured it was justified this time. So I will be taking myself for a BT on Monday 28 September. That will be 17dpo, better than 19dpo!

Hope everyone is doing okay, thinking of you Loops and your natural cycle...:crossfingers: for you.

Will seep into the madness and be back again soon,
Seph

good luck persephone!!! I also wonder about changing the date!!;)

Persephone - :goodluck: GOOD LUCK with your 2WW! Two blasties on board is great :dance:! :crossfingers: that this will be your BFP (x 1 or 2, he, he)!

Loops - I've been thinking about you and :pray: that AF is no where in sight!

Krikkit - That is such lovely news to read! I am stoked for you and so excited - every BFP I see gives me some hope that we will get there too! Look after yourself in these coming weeks!

Pershephone - GL with your double transfer. You have been through so much I hope this is it for you.

Loops - My fingers & toes & arms & legs are all crossed that there is no AF on the way for you.

AFM - I feel like I am in my own 2WW - waiting for Ovulation to happen and a FET. All this waiting - its just full on ladies! I have never been the patient one for things to happen. Seems I am going to have to learn it the hard way with this!

best of luck Persephone, I hope this is your last 2WW too

AFM- back to FS on 30th Sept, to find out when I can start my next full cycle *sigh*

Hey Ladies,

Thanks for all the luck, and right back at ya! It's a bit quiet in here!

I'm feeling a bit weird this week, cause this is the first time we've had Day 5's transferred, so my clock is all out of whack for what symptoms I 'should' be experiencing. It's okay though, I'm basically just ignoring every symptom and doing lots of meditation to take my mind of the TWW. I've got another 7 days until I'm 14dpo, but another 10 days until BT.

Okay, I'm going now to distract myself again.

:stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: to everyone.

Hi Ladies,

I am popping in here from the LTTC thread so that I can obsess even further during my
2WW. ;)

Seph, great to hear your transfer went so well. What a wonderful result. My blood test is on the same day as you (I don't really understand how my test is the same day as I recall your ET was on Mon wasn't it?) Very cheeky bringing it forward. :goodone:

:hello:: Hi to all the gals from the LTTC thread and a big hello to those of you I don't know. Many sticky vibes to you all.:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

AFM - I had FET on Wed (after having lost 5 of my 6 embies in the thaw). Had hoped to get to blastocyst, but ended up with a 4 cell, day 3 embie. I am not feeling very optimistic, but hey, stranger things have happened. Does anyone have any knowledge of the success rates of embryos at 4 cell on a FET? :rolleyes:I know... how long is a piece of string.

Hope you all have a wonderful funfilled weekend to help your 2WW go faster.

Also, what are your thoughts on coffee? I love my coffee and only have 2 a day. I have been on decaf for the last 2 weeks but am interested to know anyone's thoughts on this. (The big issues huh? he he)

Still no AF ladies but I still think she is just around the corner. Im going to be away for a week next week at the Melbourne Show showing cattle so obviously I wont be on BB.

GL to all of you and I hope I see some BFP's on here when Im back. :bluedust::stickyvibesgirl: and hugs to you all xo

Crazy Ladies,

I'm still here, slowly sinking into insanity. I've been trying to do lots of guided meditation, even playing the CD in my car, so that I can keep as calm and relaxed as possible. But yesterday I had so many cramps and back pain - 8dpo, 3dp5dt, I was going mad. I'm trying to think very positively but that means hoping that this has worked and thinking like that freaks me out - if I let myself get hopeful, I'll be a wreck if it doesn't work! I hate the TWW! Plus, I've realised that I have had such a bad run that I'm now expecting AF to arrive, which isn't helpful, and the idea of actually being pregnant is almost too much for my brain to comprehend.:doh:

Tantee, my FET was on Wednesday, a Day 5. So even though my BT is listed for 14 days from Wednesday, I changed the date to the Monday before (I would have changed it to the Sunday, but they don't BT on Sundays). So we're TWWing together? Are you as crazy as me?

Now...this thread is mighty quiet...who else is TWWing? I'm confused.

Loops, have a good holiday and break from BB. I'd come out to the Show but crowds and other people's children freak me out...:p

Tantee, I just remembered your question. As I sit here pondering your question, drinking my morning cup of coffee, I am reminded that I too have often wondered the same thing. In my 3+ years of TTC, I've done everything - cutting out all alcohol, elicit drugs :p, coffee, caffeine, sugar, soft cheese, smoking (oh, okay, so I was never a smoker, but I still had to stop myself from becoming one!), chocolate (pfft, yeah right), exercise (did you know that any exercise could harm your unborn child? That's what I have to keep telling DH!), I have realised that no amount of cutting things out will give me a baby. Obviously there are some things that are not good for TTC, pregnancy or baby, but on the scale of things, I've got more to worry about than my one coffee per day.

I also found that cutting out my coffee just gave me a headache and made me grumpy. When you're in the TWW you don't need the added stress. I am conscious of my coffee intake, and will substitute the occasional cup of tea for a chamomile, or choose the caffeine-free soft drink. I find the stress of trying to avoid coffee is probably more damaging to my mental health than just drinking it (in moderation) and feeling good about the minor indulgence.

Oh, and check out my Avatar message. You know how I feel.

Thanks so very much everyone for helping me realise that I am not crazy. BT is on Fri 25th, and while the first week of the TWW isn't too bad, the last couple of days is madness every time. Am studying, working full time, have lots of hobbies to keep me busy, but I still find myself wandering around focusing on my body. Its like I can't think properly, and every little thing is a symptom of pregnancy or otherwise.

Ladies,

TMI: I've just gone to the toilet and there was a tiny bit of light brown cm. I'm 9dpo. I've checked all my records from my other cycles, and the earliest I've started spotting was 11dpo. I've had a good cry, feel sick to my stomach, but maybe there is still hope and this is implantation bleeding? I don't know. I'm devastated. And hopeful. And about to book myself into the psych ward.

Will update tomorrow. I'm thinking of doing a hpt tomorrow - 10dpt, to see if that can put me out of my misery.

so sorry to hear that persephone....hugs

Seph, I have everything crossed for you hun :crossfingers: I pray this is your turn :pray: I had AF type cramping around the same time as you. I had my 5 day embie transfered on a Saturday, and tested the following Saturday and got a very faint second line (you almost couldn't see it). I would test on Wednesday or even Thursday if that's what you want to do, not earlier. Praying for you sweets, you deserve it so much xx
There is still hope!!

Hi. Seph - :pray: it's just implantation bleeding - it's the right time I think? Good luck beata too x

AFM - I'm finally back on the pregnyl and got my first scan tomorrow to see if I get IUI later this week so I'll be back in the 2ww then. hurrah hurrah

BTW - I'm with you on the coffee thing. I know it sounds gruesome and look away now if you are easily upset, but whatever the docs say, it's all got to be put in context. I know the docs want us to be cautious, but there are girls in Darfur who have been repeatedly gang raped whilst pregnant and still gone on to have normal healthy babies (and yet the world does b*gger all to help them....). So I personally doubt a small glass of wine or a daily coffee is going to cause a miscarriage, although I'm not advocating going on a caffiene/ alcohol crazed bender!! My FS keeps telling me, if it's going to fail, nothing will "make" it succeed. If It's a good pregnancy, nothing will "make" it fail.

Hi ladies, Just wanted to wish you all the best in your TWW, you especially you Seph.

Also just wanted to comment on the coffee question, I have a strong opinion :lol:, only because on the only cycle I got my BFP (after 6 transfers and BFNs) I stopped all caffiene from Day 1 of injections. I think my problem was to do with implantation, and there have been studies that caffiene effects the ability for the embryo to implant. Not that I am saying that this was the only reason why this cycle worked, but I wanted to do anything I could to overcome this problem and needed all the help I could get.

Just my thoughts, though I do know where you are coming from the other side. Sending lots of sticky vibes xx

Ladies, just an update.

I had a complete meltdown last night, thinking BFN thoughts. Still feeling pretty fragile and yuck today from lack of sleep & too many tears. But today, no more spotting...even when I search for it. But the cramps are intense. They're coming in waves, and sitting on my bladder, which feels full but isn't. (.)(.) are slightly tingly.

I've just told my boss I'll be needing time off for another stim & EPU, but was I jumping the gun? HELP ME oh gods of the TWW!!! I'm going INSANE!

I'm going sick with anxiety and terror. Why would someone play these horrible tricks on me?

I'm off to adopt.

Ooohh... Persephone that is sounding very positive! Definitely could've been implantation bleeding and then the full bladder, cramps and tingly (.)(.).... they all signs of pregnancy! Fingers, legs toes and arms crossed for you that this is your long awaited BFP so heaps and heaps of :bluedust: :pink-babydust: :bluedust: to you!

Another update.

These cramps are excrutiating, but not like AF cramps. More like a burning, no - like a tugging. Like someone is stretching my uterus above their heads and dancing with it. I'm getting really upset and frustrated with it, about to have a panadol.

Also, still feeling a bit nauseus, but I don't know if that's because I'm tired. I just want to lay down and die right now, both from the intense emotions and the pain.

Only a teeny tiny bit of light brown spotting this afternoon - the teeniest smidgen you can think of.

So....FS has ordered me a blood test for tomorrow morning to check my prog levels. The thing is, I have some progesterone pessaries in the fridge from a previous cycle. If I use one tonight, does anyone know if this will affect the BT result tomorrow? I want the BT result to be accurate, but if putting in a pessary tonight is going to make any difference I want to do that. :confused:

Going mad. Fast. Thanks for your support thought!
