LTTTC Two Week Wait - September/October 08

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.

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.
