Congratulations Possums
:happyforyou::happyforyou:
I am so happy for you!
Wishing you all the very best luck during your pregnancy. You have really made my day :)
Now tell me...did you do or feel anything different from this cycle compared to the last?
Congratulations again, I am really excited for you. I'll be busy for the rest of the day, but i'll be sure to log back in tonight and read the thread.
Possums - So happy for you, congratulations. 24th is my mum's birthday - a little baby Gemini....I'd laugh if you ended up with twins :-)
Have a fabulous day sweets.
:dance:oh yeh twins as there prettey high levels for how far you are :rofl::rofl:
good point nix
You never know. My levels were only 180 on Day 15 post EPU.
Which week is it that the egg splits to become twins anyway?
Sorry - I know it's off topic, but....
At some stage within 15 days after conception, the beginnings of the new baby that contain all the combined genes from both parents (known as a zygote at this stage), suddenly splits into 2 identical developing babies, both having matching genes.
Hey girls - my levels were 470 at my pregnancy test - I'm only pregnant with one!

WOW!! Possums, a huge Congratulations to you and DH! :loveshower:
I was thinking of you today and it was just lovely to hop on and read the build up you've had to waiting for today's results and then to get a BFP. Awesome news!!
You must be on a high!! All the very best for the next 9 months. Woo Hoo!! :dance: :dance:
congrats possums i am so happy for you , yeah, this is such good news! xxoo
Thanks so much everyone for your lovely comments and enthusiasm for our news. We certainly are excited and the reality that we actually did get a BFP keeps sinking in more and more. :clap::dance:
Luckystrike- I would say this time, because it was a natural FET compared to the stim cycle last time, i was more relaxed. There was less stress in the lead up and being drug free helped also. Plus, while I did stop some of my normal sporting activities (I am pretty active) I did keep going for long walks each morning before work (before I still walked, but I was so worried about everything, I cut them back to short walks) and I found that helped me stay more calm and feel a bit more 'normal' if you know what I mean. I think in the end so much though just depends on your uterus and your embryo and how they go together....I guess this little embryo of ours is a strong one. :)
I hope this time you get a BFP too.
Everyone else, I really :pray: that your turns are coming very soon. :bluedust::stickyvibesgirl:
Thanks again for being there.
Hey Possums, I am so happy for your news!!!:dance: Have a great celebration with DH tonight and wish your a healthy and happy pregnancy!!! :cheer:
Possums,
Congratulations - very happy for you :cheer: :cheer: :clap::clap:
Possums, congrats hun :cheer: :cheer: Hope the next 9 months go well for you :bellygrowing: I hope your bfp is the first of a long run in here!!
Hope everyone else is going well :grouphug:
(sorry for no other personals, my internet is down at home, and I don't really like to come on while at work, I'm always worried I'll get in trouble).
Possums - :happyforyou::happyforyou:
Wishing you a very happy and healthy :bellygrowing:

All my lovely friends in the TWW.
I'm going away for work tomorrow and will be back next Tuesday.
Am probably not going to be near a computer so I just wanted to let you all know I'll catch up with you next week.
I wish you all AF free days and a relaxing weekend.
Looking forward to coming back and hearing some GREAT news.
Hugs Bel
Hi everyone, hope you are all going along well.
Welcome Nicole, Glad to see you have a little embie onboard! May it bring you some happy news next week!
I had light pink spotting today at lunch but nothing since - freaked me out... panic then disappointment, now worry. Not sure what it means... does implantation spotting take this long to show if it's going to happen at all? I had ET last wednesday... I also spot for a week before AF arrives. Hoping it's not that already. I am on progesterone support to try and prevent that from happening.
Kaydee try not to worry about it. Could it be the crinone? The nurses told me that some ladies get samon coloured discharge. On the other hand it could be implantation bleeding, like you said. Implantation occurs from 6-12 days so it might be that. Try not to let it give you negative thoughts, you should probably give the nurses a call tomorrow for some reassurance
Bel have a loveley trip, and yes I pray AF stays away for all of us. I think we are all testing next THursday and Friday so hoping we ALL get our BFPs next week! :pray:
Possums, goes to show how stress can affect you! I'm sure there were other factors like you said, you just never really know what got you the BFP, but atleast you were doing things that made you feel positive while you were waiting. How are you feeling today, I'm sure you havent stopped smiling yet :)
thanks again for the congrats ladies! you make me smile. :)
Kaydee- I guess it could be many things and possibly there is no cause for worry, but I do understand how any sign of change can be really stressful. Even now, after receiving our BFP I am still worrying whenever I feel an odd twinge. It's hard not to worry. I pray things are going OK with you.
Luckystrike- yes still very happy and it's still sinking in to be honest. I hope you have your BFP soon!
Bel- my friend, have a good time away and look forward to hearing from you again next week.
afm- another blood test next week, to make sure things are on track and hopefully set my mind more at ease! and still really really happy.
I think we should call the TWW the TWK (killer) who wants to wait :wall:
Kaydee, Still early days as Possums and Luckstrike said...but it couldn't hurt to speak to one of the nurses for reassurance...Could actually be a really good sign :hug:
What day is your Blood test?
Sorry no other time for personals but just BIG :hug: LuckyStrike, Bel, Farmgirl, Alloy and anyone else I missed .
AFM, Had some small twinges today and my BB are still killing esp when I take my bra off!!!
Will check in latter with you all.
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!!
:hug: 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.
FG
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 :pray:
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 :pray: 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. :pray:
I am praying that next well will bring us all BFPs!
Farmgirl, Kaydee, Alloy, NicoleS Good luck girls! :grouphug::2ww::goodluck2:
Possums big hello to you too and hope you are well. Any signs of mornign sickness yet?
Oh ladies, BIG :hug: to you two...sounds like we all have a rotten day yesterday :wall:
This TTC crap is so hard and you add IVF to it and it gets even harder :wall:
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 :pray:
Alloy, great signs bring on that BFP :dance:
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. :D
Wishing all of you a speedy remaining wait.

Hi everyone...hang in there!
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
Hi Ya my TWW buddies :hug:
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 :dance:
So glad it's Friday and were all a day closer to our many BFP :pray:
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.

Hi Everyone, this is my first time in the TWW thread, so thanks to Nicole for telling me about it.
My BT is on 26/9 - 1 embie transferred. :pray:
Wouldn't it just be nice sometimes to know what was going on inside, especially when the cramping and stitch like pains start and all your hopes for a positive outcome seem to just dissolve into a mess of tears and rants and raves - my poor DH... :(
I have tried to read everyone's threads below to see who is on the TWW journey also and want to send all my thoughts and wishes :hug: out to you all and lots of :stickyvibesgirl:
Hope you all have a great and restfull weekend - Nicole, Farmgirl, LuckyStrike, Alloy, Bel, Kaydee and anyone else I may have missed.
Congrats to Possums on your BFP... you must be over the moon. :)
JodieC65 - good luck with the TWW (and same to all the others currently waiting)...I hope Possums good luck rubs off.
I hope to be joining you and all the other TWW's mid-next week, my egg retrieval is Monday. I don't know when my transfer is as I've asked to transfer blastocysts which my FS has agreed to do if I get more than 3 fertilized eggs. So until they fertilize, I won't have my transfer date.
Hi buliej - thanks :D and good luck to you also with your egg retrieval on Monday and fertilisation. I shall be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed. Sending lots of good wishes your way.
Hey girls! Just lurking as I often do. Nixon, don't worry yourself at all at the lack of morning sickness. I am now 22weeks and didn't have any morning sickness at all. And don't let anyone tell you that lack of symptoms can be a bad sign cause thats just BS!!!
Nic, i'm still saying my daily mantra for you and embie!! I had to laugh when I was reading yours and Nixons comments regarding the pains - but in a good way!! Cause girls, you ain't seen nothing yet. Everytime I get up from a chair or bed I get massive stitch like pains. Just the ligaments doing their thing.
Hi to all the other girls in the TWW. I am hoping there is some very good news for you all very soon.
:pink-babydust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Jodie, glad to see you found your way here :hello: and welcome to the club :dance:
buliej, all the very best for your EPU on Monday...hope you get lots of eggies :dance:
Belinda, thanks for checking in on all of us. Catch you next Saturday :p
Hi Everyone
Glad the weekend is finally here.
buliej - good luck for EPU on Monday. Hope you get lots of eggs and a good fertlization rate so you can do the blasty transfer. :goodluck2:
JodieC65 - Welcome to the 2WW thread! 2 of us a are testing on the 25th and 4 of you on the 26th. I hope its a good week for all of us. How are you feeling so far? Any exciting signs?
NicoleS glad you didnt have any pain today, and that you are in a better mood today. I guess that is what the 2WW is about, we all have our ups and downs.
Farmgirl, Alloy, how are you going?
Kaydee - I hope you bleed has stopped.
AFM 6 sleeps to go!
But I am 99.9% sure that I may not even get that far. All the usual symptoms that happen before AF are here. Last night I even broke out in a sweat in my sleep which usually happens few days leading up to AF. I feel very negative at the moment, I am so dissapointed in myself. I didnt want to set myself up for dissapointment, but I had such high hopes doing this cycle and now I am almost certain its over. I just feel angry, I cant understand why I'm not PG yet, when DD was conceived naturally in a short time.
Anyway i'll be moving straight into a new stim cycle once AF arrives, assuming I am not completeley wrong about this. How I wish I am wrong! But the first giveaway for me was when the breasts stopped hurting.
Hey everyone,
Can I be added as the 5th tester for the 26th?! We've been TTC since 06 for #1 and tried Clomid/Metformin without success for my PCOS. Got a new (NICER!!) FS this cycle and had our first serious help in the form of IUI. BD'd on the evening of insemination too, just to be on the safe side! I know the Clomid worked this month, so fingers crossed, but I know I'm over analysing EVERY little symptom. Isn't it the way? :D Still, not that long until testing now . . . Good luck to everyone. I may test earlier as I don't have a BT, only HPT to hang out for at this stage, but I'm trying to convince myself that I can wait until Friday. I figure if I don't buy one until Friday, I won't be tempted to test early (AF is due Friday)!
LuckyStrike, don't count yourself out as yet...it isn't over until the witch sings. :hug:
Don't forget that our bodies have been poked and prodded, we have been on meds.
I guess this is easier said than done as we know our bodies so well by now and every time we feel something going on inside we feel that the worst is going to happen.
I too was like that on Thursday after my sharp pains as I relate that to AF but that could just be my body and I just identify it as AF is on her way.
Take care and try and keep positive and distract yourself with anything, shopping, movies meet friends until Friday.
The way I am trying to look at it is that we have 6 sleeps till we know what is going on and :pray: for the best possible outcome.
At the end of the day Embie is still on board and try and focus on that, in my head when I start to feel a little blue I keep singing to myself 'All we need is one' and this helps put some reality on what we are trying to achieve.
Meo, welcome to the TWW...and of course you can be added as the 5th tester :dance:
I think we should change the thread name to the AF Free Zone!!!
Hope you ladies have a great weekend
xx
Hello all,
Welcome Jodie and Meo - and good luck for your BTs on the 26th - I cant belive that so many in this thread will be testing on that day!
Buliej - good luck with the pick up and wishing you all the best for getting some great blasts!
Luckystrike - :hug: - try and hang in there - I know how difficult it is and how crap you feel, so there is not much I can type to make you feel better because the only thing that will do that is a BFP, but I'm thinking of you.
Nicole S - hope that you are going well and I agree with your suggestion of an AF free zone...if only we could arrange that :)
Kaydee - how are you travelling - did you end up getting the bt to check your levels? If you did I hope it was ok.
hi to everyone else, wishing you a good weekend.
I'm feeling crap today - BB no longer sore, AF cramps occuring and have my tell tale bad mood and emotional feelings prior to AF, so I'm thinking i'm out. told DH and now he is just in his 'clamed up, grumpy, this is how I deal with things as a boy' mood which makes me feel like I have to be cheery to try and make him feel better! am just so over going through the whole hope and then no hope, and especially leading up to xmas, just the isolation of all of this, just makes me so upset and mad esp as this time we are losing two embies, and prob only have one more transfer left from this cycle...and then i dont know what as I think DH is ready to give up - too much emotional and financial stress - but he just does not realise how much it will hurt to lose this dream of kids and how much that will isolate us, or me more so (the boys still go and do boy stuff), from my friends (all with babies), family cause the grandkids are the primary focus and we wont produce any, and from this town as I thought I'd meet people through mothers group, kinder etc...god knows there is nothing else here to meet people through! am sorry, am just not dealing well with this today...
It is possible....:lol:!!! This is one area no one wants to see AF for at least 9 months...:
Hugs to you all in the TWW :hug:. Its going to be busy in here on the 26th...Wishing you all the best you ALL deserve it.
xx
Oh Farmgirl, try and stay positive :hug:
It is so hard I too imagine that I can feel AF but then think my mind is playing tricks on me.
This is not the end of the road for any of us, WE WILL hold that :baby: and for some it just might take us a little longer BUT IT WILL HAPPEN!!!
TTC is so hard on your emotions you doubt so many things but one thing is for sure when we each do have that baby all this BS will be worth it and we will be great mums because of it.
Dusty, glad u like the thread name change.
Always thinking of you and :pray: your BFP is only around the corner :hug:
i like tha name AF free zone too.
good luck to all in TWW . sticky vibes coming your way
