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.
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.

Nicole- I had twinges and cramping pain through much of the TWW this time too. Especially on the right side, where I had a real pulling sensation and some sharper pains, almost like ovulation pain. I was worried because the right side is where I had my tube removed with the ectopic. So cramps and pains aren't necessarily a bad sign!
Luckystrike- i really feel for you. It is such a strain, not just the TWW but the whole process. Hang in there and I have my fingers crossed for you. There were times I felt really angry and really sorry for myself during the past year, so I get it.
Kaydee- how are you doing now? any more bleeding? I hope you are ok- there are many reasons why a bleed might occur and they dont all mean a BFN
farmgirl- hope you are hanging in there ok. sore nipples counts i reckon
Alloy- sore BB is a good sign! here's hoping
hoping for some BFPs in here soon ladies. thinking of you all. xx
Nic & Possum, thanks so much for the reassure. Today I am happy to report no PAIN!!!
I have a almost stitch feeling from bikini line centre to right side but also some stitching on my left and my BB are killing when they hit gravity so I really hope that is a good sign.
I am so glad to hear that you ladies had very similar pain and got a BFP
So glad it's Friday and were all a day closer to our many BFP
Glad I could help. My pain was low right most often and then I'd get a surprise pain on the lower left outta nowhere. My boobs were killing me too - couldn't sleep properly, waking up in the middle of the night to pee and feeling like I was going to throw up (no sign of morning sickness though, so far - it does worry me sometimes).
Anyway, there is not a lot you can do now except stay as chilled as possible and let the embie do it's thing.
Have a great weekend.

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.
Alloy, sorry to hear that you too are doubtful this cycle.
This truly does sux....
As for the women who did 19 icsi cycles my mouth almost hit the ground!!!
Financally and emotionally this would be a killer.
AFM my bb are not hurting as much this morning but still had a stitch like feeling yesterday so who knows.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend ladies and I hope that this continues to be a AF Free Zone!!
STAY AWAY AF WE DON'T WANT YOU!!!!!
Hi Everyone and hope you are all having a lovely weekend, and trying not to stress too much. Welcome also to Meo - no. 5 for the 26/9 - there sure are a lot of us waiting for this TWW to be over.
I too am feeling quite crappy today - a bit hormonal and emotional and feeling quite a bit of pain mainly down my left side - bit like a stitch. The AF cramps are coming and going, but not too strong - so fingers crossed hey
To Alloy, Farmgirl and Luckystrike - keep on smiling and try try to remain positive, although I know first hand how easy that is to say.
Nicole - I hope that the pains you were having have subsided and that you are feeling OK today.
Lets all hang in there and remember the BFP's will happen.
I do agree this is a AF free thread - so STAY AWAY AF, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU HERE.
Luckystrike, I hope feeling ok. It's hard not to read into the changes in our bodies and still remain positive. If AF hasn't started, keep that hope.
Welcome Meo and JodieC65. Hope you girls have been feeling well and you have some happy news by the end of the week. There's so many of us testing on the 26th.
Buliej, good luck for your epu tomorrow. Hope you get lots of eggs and fertilisation rate is high.
Farmgirl, it must be so hard for you socially to be isolated where you live. I can't imagine what sort of pressure you're feeling because of that. I'm so hoping you get your bfp soon, I'd imagine more doors would open in terms of meeting people. Stay strong for the rest of the week. The changes in our bodies, the ones we always read as meaning AF is on its way, may be hormonal changes for good reasons. My fingers and toes are all crossed for you.
Alloy, glad they were able to catch the lower hormone levels and give you pregnyl booster shots. Your preg BT would have been moved to allow the pregnyl to be out of your system by BT day because it can give a false positive result if you test too early. The woman you spoke to who did 19 cycles must have been an incredibly strong woman to keep going again and again.
AFM, I haven't had any more bleeds like the one last week. A little light spotting now and again but I'm not stressing about it... I guess I've come to the point where if this cycle doesn't work, I'm ok - we'll just go again. I felt really crappy the day of the bleed and while the nurse said it could mean anything - because everyone responds differently to the hormones and treatment - I guess I'm more relaxed about the result on Friday. It would be so awesome if it's worked, but if it doesn't, there are still options for us in doing another cycle with one of our frozen ones. We'll see if I'm still as relaxed about it all as we get closer to BT day!! I finish Crinone tomorrow but pessaries don't finish until Thursday morning. Apparently if AF will start it will be within a few days of finishing Crinone.. Not sure if the pessaries have any effect on AF coming or not.
Sorry for the ridiculously long post! Hope you all enjoy what's left of the weekend.
that its implantation bleeding.
:goodluck2:
