    Kaydee, I really hope that you have nothing to worry about. I agree with the suggestion of ringing the nurses. I had severe cramping pain last Saturday (day after ET), and I called the clinic and the nurse I spoke to really helped my worries

    Bel, I hope you have a nice trip, and it's not too stressful (being for work). hopefully it should help the 2WK go faster for you!!

    Nicole S, My BB are so sore at the moment too, and taking my bra off is a killer. My blood test is the same day as yours, hopefully this is a good sign for us!!

    to Luckstrike, Farmgirl, Possums and anyone else I've missed

    Hello everyone,

    Bel - have a great trip - hope you manage to sqeeze in some fun shopping and other mind destracting activities.

    Kaydee - when in doubt, I reckon speak to the nurses. But hang in there, it could be a positive rather than a negative.

    Alloy and Nicole S - your 'signs' sound promissing - hope that like possums it is a good signs that you are both due for a BFP!

    LuckyStrike - hope all is going well.

    AFM - nothing much to report other than side effects from crinone i fear (twinges in the abdomin etc). No sore BB but sore nipples - but not sure if that counts think its more a side effect from the stim cycle than a BFP...but will wait and see.

    Hello to everyone else that i've missed. Enjoy tomorrow as the last day of the week and get set for a relaxing weekend.

    Hey ladies, I have been quite emotional this arvo as I keep having these short burst of pinching very low (lower than bikini line) it sort of feels like a pinched nerve or something?? I get these feelings on a off every couple of cycles and rang the nurse today almost in tears thinking that I was going to end up with a BFN today.
    My question is do any of you ladies ever get these type of pains.
    I have felt so great about this cycle the whole way but today am feeling so emotionally spent.
    Sorry for my ranting but don't know what else to do.

    Please stick little embie

    Hi everyone,

    Nicole, sorry to hear about your pains.. Did the nurses give you any advice? Its hard when we are so out of control of what is happening in our bodies. Hope a good night's rest will ease the pains.

    Luckystrike, Alloy and Farmgirl, hope you're going well. Staying positive and looking forward to the halfway mark in our tww!! Hard to believe all of us test within two days of each other.

    AFM, I am trying to stay positive but losing hope. This morning I woke with a bleed. Nothing else today but I rang the clinic in the hope there would be an easy explanation and all would be good again (yeah right!) They said it could be this, or it could be that... everyone responds differently to crinone/pessaries/implantation....

    I was given the option of having progesterone levels checked tomorrow (but it means a big rush before work) or just to leave it and wait for BT next Friday. I'll wait til the morning and decide then, no more blood - i'll wait.. another bleed, I'll go for a BT tomorrow.

    Hope you all have a restful night. Looking forward to the weekend.

    Kaydee - Sorry that you had another bleed. All of these things play with your mind and its hard to stay positive when these things happen. I that its implantation bleeding.

    Nicole S no I'm sorry I dont get anything like that. I can relate to the feeling emotional though. I too feel very emotinal and angry today. You have some positive signs with the sore breasts so dont give up hope!

    Alloy Sore breasts are a really good sign, so stay strong and positive.

    FarmGirl - I think sore nipples counts, I'm pretty sure I have read that is also one of the early pg signs. Hope the twinges arent too annoying. Until today I didnt think I had any side-effects, but today I feel very emotional and CRAZY. I know its getting to me a little.

    AFM, I am feeling sorry for myself today!
    I am angry b/c I dont have any signs yet, I am angry b/c my underwear have a moist feel to them and that usually happens the week leeding up to AF, I feel angry b/c I so much want to be PG and I feel like nothing is working out for me.
    I am losing hope to be honest.The thought of getting a BFN brings tears to my eyes, I cant help it!

    To top off an already emotional day I came home and realised my breasts which were tender since transfer have stopped hurting and are almost normal again. This is one of the last things that happen before AF.

    I'm sorry for sounding so negative, I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
    Anyway 7 sleeps to go, before BT assuming AF doesnt show up before then.

    I am praying that next well will bring us all BFPs!
    Farmgirl, Kaydee, Alloy, NicoleS Good luck girls! :goodluck2:

    Possums big hello to you too and hope you are well. Any signs of mornign sickness yet?

    Oh ladies, BIG to you two...sounds like we all have a rotten day yesterday
    This TTC crap is so hard and you add IVF to it and it gets even harder

    Kaydee, I'm so sorry that you have started bleeding.
    We all know that it could be many things and try and keep positive.
    It's so hard to wait till blood test day but checking on your progesterone levels may ease your mind a little.

    Luckystrike, angry is such a good word to describe wtf is going on with our bodies.
    But mentally it really takes the toll on us.
    One minute things are going great and then the next your emotional wreak!@!
    Take care and we only have 7 sleeps to the finishing line.

    farmgirl, sore nipples are still something to hold on to and for sure count!!
    can't wait to hear that we all got a BFP next week

    Alloy, great signs bring on that BFP

    AFM, went to bed early and the pains have stopped but had the worst night sleep or lack of. My eyes look so puffy and tired and at least have the day off today to catch on some sleep.

    Wishing you all a great Friday and no AF!!!!!

    Nicole S - I had sharp pinching pain below the bikini line most of the TWW. Agonising pinching and some cramping - to the point of almost being doubled over in pain towards the end of the TWW.

    The morning of my BT was the worst pain. I did my BT on a Sunday at 7 in the morning and then DH & I went out for breakfast. I had to keep going to the bathroom because I was sure it was AF cramping. Turns out the baby just wanted me to know that it was there - of course I just read it the wrong way.

    Wishing all of you a speedy remaining wait.

    Farmgirl , I hope that you are wrong and your body is playing tricks on you. I'm so sorry that your feeling so down!! I've still got my fingers crossed for you

    Luckystrike, I'm sorry your feeling doubtful too. Isn't this 2ww an awful business. I'm still crossing my fingers for you as well, you never know.

    I know how your feeling though. My bb have stopped hurting, and I'm starting to get pimples which is what happens every month in the week before AF arrives I also had to go for a blood test on Friday, and my levels were too low so I had to race back to the clinic after results in the afternoon to get 2 x Pregnyl 1,500 shots. I had to have the first shot Friday night, and then the other on Monday night. This has also dropped my bt back to Monday 29/6 so I've dropped the number of testers for the 26th. That's the main reason for me now thinking I'm out. I hate this, I have so many friends at the moment that are getting pregnant/having babies, and I'm really struggling to remain cheerful and upbeat for them, because I don't want to lose friends because of this (and at the end of the day, I know they haven't set out to get pregnant because they know I can't) but it's just so hard right now. When I was waiting at my clinic for my blood test on Friday morning, I was chatting to a girl who was 7 weeks pregnant. This came from her 19th ICSI cycle, and her and her DH had decided it was the second last try. It's nice to hear stories like that, but honestly thinking about it, I'm not sure I could last that long.

    Sorry for the long post. I hope everyone else is going along well.

    Welcome to the newbies, your 2ww goes fast!!
