Seph - im about to leave for Melb, just wanting to wish you all the very best of luck and will be thinking of you and sending lots of :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:. Sorry you are going insane, I truly hope you get the result you deserve tomorrow. FX & Hugs
Persephone - did your FS tell you take a pessary?
He didn't know I had the pessaries, and I only remembered after I hung up.:
I feel really sick but don't know whether to be happy about it or not!
i feel for you - it's horrid not knowing whether it's sick for a reason or just sick with the emotion. good luck for tomorrow. I personally would not take the pessary. You can always do it tomorrow morning if he says so... best best luck x
Hi Seph
You're symptoms are still sounding suspect... but in a good way! I know the pessaries can give symptoms of preg, so if you are not currently taking any, it must be your body doing it all on it's own.
I am actually on pessaries and have been for a week now, one morning & one at night(as well as estrogen) I was told if I do become UTD, they will need to be continued to week 12, so I can't imagine that it affects preg BT results. Saying that, you are best to speak to your FS before taking anything.
Loops - enjoy your break, it is well deserved.
London Miss & baby dreamtime - thanks for your thoughts on the coffee. I know it sounds pedantic even asking the question, however, it does have chemicals of sorts in it and I suppose I will try to avoid it until BT for my own peace of mind. (although a sip of DH's now and then may keep me sane). I understand that it is not the be all and end all but was just interested to know others' thoughts on the subject ;)
To all you other ladies, may you all be blessed with BFPs this month. September is the time to flourish! Sending you all babydust.
Seph, all your symptoms seem very positive to me! I also felt 'full' in my bladder even after I emptied it, and that's what prompted me to take the HPT a week after my transfer. My boobies went sore a little bit later though, but the AF type pain was like you said, painful and 'tugging'. You poor love, you must be going mad!
I'm not sure about the pessary....:rolleyes:
Good luck sweets, I have absolutely everything crossed for you!!!!!!
GL to all you other lovely ladies in the 2WW, may the next week or so bring lots of BFPs in here!!! Lots of :bluedust: & :stickyvibesgirl: to all!

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 :rolleyes:
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? :2ww: 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!:leap: can't find the fingers crossed smilley so I'll leap for you instead!!
Yeah - we'll leap for you just in case :D 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.
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:D very, very, very rarely, I'll play the 'I have all this done to me' card....then ask for a footrub :redface::lol:
ooh and that's a good thing sore (.) (.) perse.
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?! :p
Good luck hun! :crossfingers::goodluck::pray:
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.
:o
Oh, and I feel sick! :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.
:loveshower:
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
seph - I haven't posted in the 2WW thread yet but just had to say :crossfingers: it certainly does sound promising. Am thinking of you.
lise xx
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.
OMG Seph!!! I am so hopeful and excited for you.
I really hope this is it for you!!!!!
Step - OMG I am so excited and hopeful that it might be lucky #7 for you! I will be :pray: that this is finally your turn. :stickyvibesboy::pink-babydust:
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....
wish that made me sound slightly less like an alcoholic...
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. :crossfingers: that this is a sticky one/two!
Seph
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.:hug:
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
Seph, when I have an empty stomach I feel heaps more nauseaus than when I have something in my stomach. They say when you have m/s to have plenty of frequent small meals so there is always something in you belly to stop you from being sick. So that sounds promising hun! I just can't wait for tomorrow!!! When I got my faint line on the HPT, I kept doing the test for the next 3 days and the line was initially coming up quicker (but not darker) and eventually the line not only came up quickly but darker AND ahead of the control line!!! What the?????!!!! Anyhow, you have heaps more will power than me, ha ha, I really hope and pray two of the blasties latched on!!!! Thinking of you hun xx
OK, I have just combed the house (like an addict) looking for any left over HPT's but came up empty. I am sooooo wanting to POAS and don't know how much longer I can wait until Monday's BT. Somebody stop me! I am too scared to even go and do the groceries in case a HPT falls into my trolley. It just feels like I can feel the tic of every second. I know you ladies can understand.
I feel I am going insane!!!!!!!!!! :wall:
oh tantee :comfort: I just had visions of a tasmanian devil cartoon character whirring around the house searching for the HPT!!!:lol:
I'm like a see-saw...one minute I'm gonna pee on stick, 5 minutes later...I'm strong and not...etc etc etc
Thanks Beata, that really helps. Unfortunately part of my work includes a few days a week where there's no room or time to snack during the morning. I took a packet of biscuits with me today and kept ducking away to eat a handful of them! Might have to plan to keep doing that (or will I?!?!).:
I did another HPT this morning - two lines again, but then I freaked out because it seemed lighter compared to yesterday. But I'm now convinced that they're both equally as dark as each other. Beata, I was reeeeaaaalllly relieved to read that your HPTs didn't get darker in the first few days.
I am thinking of going for my BT tomorrow regardless of what the Clinic says - I can get the BT done at my local path lab, and once it's done they can't stop me getting the results! I have the day off from work.
I am so exhausted. DH wouldn't let me get out of dinner duties tonight, but he's got another think coming if this is going to continue!
Otherwise, feeling a bit crampy and have had some backpain. I'm also really nervous about where to from here - freaking out that this is all a dream and that it won't last...now that the TWW part is almost over, I appear to have another few anxious weeks before I'll be able to relax.
Tantee, thinking of you. I've got two HPTs left but I've run out before and gone mental looking for them. Can't believe you've lasted this long! All the best for the weekend...
Um...is there anyone else in their TWW in here? I know there's some others in the LTTTC threads but are you in here to? Sending lots of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: to you all.
Seph
Just quickly - there are definitely two lines today. The test line is still not as dark as the control line, but it came quicker than yesterday and is not faint - just a lighter shade to the test line.
:o I'm UTD!!! eek!
Going to get the BT done this morning and will post the results later. :crossfingers: for some good levels!
Seph
Seph... All sounding extremely positive - yay for those two lines :clap:! Good Luck with you BT this morning and I'll be watching like a hawk and looking forward to seeing you post a BFP:dance:!
tantee - Good Luck :goodluck:to you also if you decide to POAS! :crossfingers: that it will be another BFP!
AFM - In LTTTC and started Lucrin today - finally back to doing something... :D!
Seph, I had a feeling all along you were UTD!!!! Yeepee!!!!!! I will wait until your BT comes back to celebrate properly...:dance:
Will be waiting in anticipation....
Tantee, I have everything crosse for you hun!!!!!!! I hope this is it for you too darl :pray:
And good luck to anyone else in the 2WW, bring on the BFPs ladies!!!!!!!!
B xxx
Seph, OMG, that is so exciting, GL with you BT today and can't wait to hear your official news. I will echo Beata re lines, though I did find the best HPT was First Response (I got itfrom the chemist, Coles didn't have them), the line was nice and strong and very obvious compared to others I did the same day (which were quote faint). And it isn't one that fades away after, if you are keen for a keep sake. I still have mine 3 months later and it is as strong as the day I did it. xx
Best wishes to everyone else x
Seph & tantte - GL with your BT results today. I keep popping in with anticipation to find out your results. Looking forward to some BFP action to end the week!!
Unlike yourselves I am desperately waiting for AF to arrive so we can move ahead with our FET. 6 days late and still waiting... :wall:
Just a quicky, I will try to post more persies over the weekend when I have more time. This week has been manic.
I caved into temptation this morning and POAS. Well it was a blaring BFN. Today is 8 days post 3 day transfer, so borderline. My BT is not until Monday, but I am 99% that the result won't change. I am drained...
Thank you all so much for your support I don't think I could get through this without you all.
Back to the drawing board.:cry:
tantee... I'm sorry to hear that your POAS was negative and big hugs to you :hug:. I still have my fingers crossed :crossfingers: for you that the BT will turn up a different result...
I hope you take care over the weekend and pamper yourself because you definitely do deserve it.. lol
huge hugs Tantee.....its not over yet tho hun
Seph congrats to you, gives us all hope
AFM might pop over to the other thread, not in the TWW here anymore, just wanted to pop in and check you girls progress
Tantee, I really hope your HPT is wrong, will keep everything crossed for you until your BT on Monday :crossfingers:
Tantee, thinking of you and :crossfingers: for Monday.
AFM, BT results are in - hcg is 137 for 14dpo. We're definitely pregnant! FINALLY! :loveshower:
Will pop back in to check up on you Tantee, thinking of you.
Just jumping in to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Persephone!! So happy for you. Wishing you a happy, healthy 8 months ahead. xx
Tantee - I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope that the POAS is malfunctioning... stupid things anyway. Hopefully the BT is better news. :crossfingers:
Seph - we knew :D I reckon that between us, we could spot a pregnant woman at fifty paces, and probably do a convincing impression of an FS if we needed too. I'm so very pleased for you. BFPs just make my day.
