LTTTC Two Week Wait - September/October 08

Kate, hang in there, it only takes one! Just because the others didn't make it, doesn't mean this little one won't. Was it a five day transfer?
I'll tell you our stats:
IVF stim cycle- we got 10 eggs, then only 3 fertilised and I was so worried, then two made it to day 5, one was transferred and one frozen. That cycle ended in a BFN.
That meant we had just one left and it would have to survive the freeze and thaw, so we worried about it.
Now, that one remaining embie, not only survived the thaw, but successfully implanted inside me and is now growing. It only takes one. I really hope this is your one.
Dont forget PMS signs can also be pregnancy signs, it's so hard to tell the difference.
There are many others on here who have only had one embryo to transfer and that embryo has gone on to be their baby.

I'm back here in the TWW after a hard week (my first IVF cycle ended last month with a :bfn:). I had my retrieval on Monday - I was told they had 3 eggs...which seemed fine...but on Tues morning - AT WORK (ugh:cry:) - I received a call that none of them had made it through the night. As I had 1 frozen embryo from last month's cycle, my FS & I agreed to defrost it and put it in today (which would have been my 2 day transfer date). Much to my surprise (I was in a very negative mind space yesterday), the embryo survived the thaw and is now in my tummy:crossfingers::pray:. Blood test is on the 7th of Oct.

Possums - I'm hoping that you are proof that frozen embryo's are strong enough to hang on!

I'll be checking in regularly in the hope of seeing some :bfp:s!

kateB..don't give up the fight just yet. I had 9 eggs collected on my first cycle with 7 fertilising. Over the next 4 days each one slowly dropped off until only 1 was left on transfer day. I am now 22 weeks pg. As everyone will tell you, you only need one little strong one to survive and this one inside you may just very well be the one!! Good luck.

Thanks Possums and BB73 - that puts a big :D on my face!

Take care,

Farmgirl, hope you are doing ok. Enjoy your break, take the time you need to feel positive and ready to move forward. It's a hard time. So much hope and expectation. I look forward to seeing you back here soon and supporting you on your journey to become a mum.

Luckystrike!! Tomorrow's the big day. Wishing the very best of luck. My fingers, toes and everything are crossed that you will have good news tomorrow. Hope you are feeling well and AF has stayed away. :goodluck: :goodluck2: :goodluck: :goodluck2:

Welcome KateB. Glad to see you had a much better response this cycle than last. I can't imagine how relieved you must have been when your body reacted well to the stimulation. Hoping the little embie you have inside is getting snuggly and cosy.

Congrats Buliej on your ET today. What an emotional week for you. Glad you were able to transfer a frozen embie. Hoping it is a strong little one and wants to hang around. Fingers crossed you have some good news on the 7th.. the tww will be over before you know it (even though the BT date seems sooo far away!)

Alloy, what a fright you must have got after falling asleep and missing your pregnyl shot! It quickly wakes you up when your brain starts ticking over - regardless of the time of the night/early morning!!

Nicole, JodieC65 and Meo... we are so close! Only 2 more sleeps!! Sounds like we're waiting for Santa at Christmas time... Here's hoping he brings some BFPs wrapped up in a BT on Friday for us all!! :D

Hi All,

I'm back from my work trip. Just wanted to pop in and wish each and every one of you all the best for your TWW's.

I know a few of you are testing on Friday so I'll be looking out for you all and wishing you all the best for the 26th.

Farmgirl- I'm so very sorry. I know your pain and I hope you get through the next few days ok. We are all here for you.

Kate- I can imagine you are upset with not having any embies to freeze. I've had some upsetting results with our embies not surviving the thaw. We have had 2 cancelled cycles for this reason. One of the embryologists had a talk to me once and explained to me that some embies don't like to be frozen and some just don't like to be out of your body. So while I know you are questioning the little one inside you, you should know that the best place for this little one to be is inside you. That's where embies naturally should be. I keep telling myself this to get through the hard times of losing embies. So my long rant is basically tell you to stay strong and positive because this little one in you is hopefully very happy and growing stongly. Embies should be in their mummies!! Looking forward to hearing some good news from you soon.

Everyone else...will be checking up on you all daily

Hugs Bel

Hi Everyone

1 sleep to go for me, yippee!
I dont know what to feel. I dont have symptoms, but I still dont have AF so who knows I may be in with a chance. I suspect it may be a BFP b/c I have all my usual AF symptoms but I wont know until tomorrow.
I was crazy all afternoon, starting to get gittery. I dont think I will be able to concentrate at work tomorrow. I have to mentally prepare myself for both answers tomorrow, as I will be at work and wont be able to talk to anyone about it.

I dont want to get my hopes up, but I pray that I have a BFP waiting for me tomorrow, I was so upset last week when my breasts were down i was crying and emotional for days, but AF still hasnt arrived, so all I can do is hope for the best.

I will try and post as soon as I hear anything tomorrow, but it may not be immediate as I will be at work. I'll try me best though.

kaydee thankyou and I hope your BFP will be here on Friday! We went through the IUI together and started IVFtogether, wouldnt if be great if we both got BFP's!

buliej congrats on the FET, hope that little embie sticks!

Kate congrats on the ET, hope it brings you a BFP. Same thing happened to me, I only had one embie left on transfer day, so if I dont get a BFP tomorrow it will be another stim cycle for me.
Good luck for your BT on Monday!

Anyone else I have missed, big hello to you and hope you get your BFP this time. Forgive me if I have missed you but I am very distracted this evening as I have 1 sleep left and will finally get my answer. I have stayed away from HPT's so I have no idea what the answer will be tomorrow, I just pray for a good result, I pray for a BFP! :pray:

:pink-babydust::bluedust: to all!

LuckyStrike- All the very best for tomorrow. I hope so so much tomorrow is a magical day for you. Try to stay nice and busy while waiting for the call...easy to say I know!!!

Hugs Bel

Hi Girls - just popping in to see how you are all doing.

FG - I'm so sorry that this time was not your time. Take time to heal.

LS - GL for today! I will be checking in to see how you go. Praying that this is your time.

To all those testing tomorrow - GL! It is my Mum's birthday, so I'm sure it will bring lots of luck your way.

Buliej - my pregnancy has resulted from a FET also... So I am a big believer in them! GL with your TWW.

To all those still in the TWW... I wish you so much love and luck. You all deserve to get that BFP and I will be praying for each one of you.

Janie xxx

LS & kaydee - good luck - I hope that you both get a BFPs

Kate - as others have said, it only takes 1 (I too have my 1 frozen on board with none left so I have to believe this!)

My goal over the next two weeks is not to purchase any POAS tests - I have none left and just want to wait until the BT

Good luck luckystrike! thinking of you today.... not long to go now....hoping to see a BFP

buliej- glad your transfer went well and lets hope your FET brings you the same success mine has brought me

to the others testing on Friday, I'll be checking in tomorrow lots too! and have my fingers crossed

thankyou for the support ladies

I am so nervous I think I'm going to throw up before the call me! :)

I'll be on later to give the results.

LS & kaydee - good luck - I hope that you both get a BFPs

Kate - as others have said, it only takes 1 (I too have my 1 frozen on board with none left so I have to believe this!)

My goal over the next two weeks is not to purchase any POAS tests - I have none left and just want to wait until the BT

Luckystrike...I know, the wait is just horrible....I recall so clearly how i felt a week and a bit ago...the wait went on and on and i got more and more worried. if you can, try and distract yourself periodically so you calm down, and do deep breathing etc.
I went home at lunchtime that day to wait for the results, and ended up doing washing and cleaning while i was waiting, I was just too nervous to sit still!
when do you expect to here?
fingers crossed here!

Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't checked in for a couple of days, life has been rather hectic :doh: But here I am and no AF to speak of yet, so heres hoping that is a really good sign.

Luckystrike - good luck for today, I am thinking of you and hoping for a BFP... :hug:

Also lots and lots of :goodluck: to everyone testing tomorrow - Kaydee, Meo and Nicole, may we all get BFP's. Wouldn't that be FAB !!

To Kate and Buliej - it really only does take one (or so my FS keeps telling me), so try to stay sane and positive till your BT's.

Have a good day everyone and here's hoping for lots of BFP's.

Hi girls

I got the call....the nurse just said to me "do you want to hear some good news?" and I started crying! Its a BFP :bfp:!!!!

:cheer::cheer::cheer:

I'll log in tonight as I am at work and better do some work!

Beta was 290 and I am thrilled like you wouldnt beleive, I was so convinced things were over the other day.

I'll log in again tonight, but good luck for everyone testing tomorrow. I have everything crossed for you that you will get you BFP's and be just as happy as me :)

Lucky Strike - that is the most wonderful news - congratulations! Enjoy celebrating!:happyforyou:

Yay LS: :dance::cheer::happyforyou: congrats on your BFP, hopefully we will get some more and all be joining you in the pg threads. Enjoy the next 8 1/2 mths...:pink-babydust::bluedust:

I am just so pleased

Congratulations LS! That is fantastic news. Have a H&H pregnancy.

Janie xxx

LS :happyforyou:

Wishing you all the best for your :bellygrowing:

Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow - hope this sets the trend :D
FG

Luckystrike, I think we have started a trend!!!!!

First BIG congrats on your BFP I am very happy for you :happyforyou::happyforyou:
Great results.....

I am sorry I have been MIA for the past two days my work was crazy but know that I was thinking of you all :hug:

I too have some great news...it's a BFP for me too....
I asked yesterday if I can come in a day early and they called me today just after 1.30pm!!!
DH and I are in total shock.
My HCG is 215 and progesterone is at 374


Best of luck to all testing tomorrow :hug:

Nicole that is Excellent news! :clap::hug:
Congratulations, I am so happy for you.
:happyforyou:
Good see that my good vibes are spreadng!

Girls I hope all of you testing tomorrow get BFP's
This morning when I went for the BT the nurse asked if I have AF yet.
I said no and she was really positive for me. She said that with ladies having FETs its diff b/c they are on drugs for support but b/c I did the stim cycle and a fresh ET then not having AF was a really good sign.

So girls if you dont have AF yet keep positive, you might have a nice suprise tomorrow.

Congratulations Luckystrike and Nicole - that is fantastic news. You guys must be over the moon :)

Nicole - congrats what great news! Wishing you all the best for your preg.

Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow

I have just got of the phone from the nurses, my levels are 25 so its not a BFP but not a BFN either, but looks like an early MC - booked in for another BT on monday. trying to take the positives out of this but not really getting there.

Nicole...wonderful news, I am thrilled for you. :clap::dance::D

farmgirl...sorry for the what seems to be an very early loss for you :( hang in there...your turn WILL come, even if it doesnt feel like it right now :hug:

Luckystrike and Nicole, Congratulations girls, you must be over the moon!!! I'm so happy for both of you.

AFM, AF reared her ugly head last night, and she's here with a vengence today. I've rung the clinic to find out what happens next, and I have to go for a blood test tomorrow. I guess just to check that my levels have returned to baseline. I don't know what the next step is, I'll find out tomorrow from the nurse I guess.

FG, I'm so sorry to hear that :hug: try and have a good weekend!!

Everyone else, best of luck for all the tests tomorrow!!

Alloy :hug:, sorry that this cycle is not that one for you

:happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou:
YAY LS & NIC HUGE CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH

Luckystrike! Yay!! :dance:
Nicole! Double Yay!! :dance: :dance:

What an awesome day for you both. You must be over the moon. Hope you've got a big celebration planned!

Wishing you both all the very best for the next 9 months. What a wait, but you finally got there. These little babies are so loved before they're even here.

FG, sorry for your results. It kind of just drags out the healing process. Take care :hug:

Alloy, what a wicked witch AF is. So sorry your cycle didn't work out. I guess tomorrow will give you some answers and some direction of what happens next. We're here if you need to chat.

Best of luck tomorrow to Meo & JodieC65. Hoping AF has stayed away from you both.

AFM, I haven't seen AF yet but making a ridiculous number of trips to the loo to make sure she hasn't arrived... I've never made it to BT day without AF already being here.. maybe a good sign or maybe it's the pessaries which I finish tonight keeping AF at her distance. Feeling a bit yuck but maybe that's nerves!

Thank you ladies for all the best wishes... :hug:

Alloy, so sorry to hear that the witch showed herself :hug: But make sure you go to the blood test and see what comes.

Farmgirl, I am truly sorry again for you. It really does sux!!
Although it was not a BFP knowing that the little ones stuck is also a step closer :hug:

Meo & JodieC65, all the very best for for blood test. Thinking of you both...:hug:

Kaydee, No AF is still no AF so fingers crossed for you tomorrow.
As for the pessaries I have read in so many places not only on this site that they do not hold back AF. Good luck tomorrow :pray:

Luckystrike and Nic :woot::happyforyou:

:stickyvibesgirl:

Here is hoping you have started a long line of BFP's for us girls waiting in the wings!!!

Awesome news - just brilliant!

Also FG I am really sorry this one didn't stick hun, though it certainly looks like it tried hey? It is really hard to cope with I hope you are okay... It looks like your body is ready - just need a sticky embie to keep growing..trust me I know how you feel...

Rach xx

FG - I'm so sorry - I tell myself, it's a numbers game...the next one may be the lucky one

Nicole - that's fantastic - wow, 2 BFPs on the same day...I like this trend

Alloy - sorry to hear that AF arrived - that happened to me my last cycle prior to BT and it was devastating

Good luck to all the testers...fingers crossed. By the way, my last cycle I was on the pessaries and still got AF right on time - so I'd take it as a great sign that AF hasn't arrived

Farmgirl sorry once again that this cycle didnt work out for you. I'm sure your BFP will come soon. You have some frosties so try to keep positive and look towards moving forward now. I hope you are OK, give yourself and break and have a think about how you want to move forward :hug:

Alloy I am so sorry to hear that AF arrived. Good luck with the nurses tomorrow in discussing your way forward. I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

Nicole congratulations again, I am so happy about your BFP and hope we are starting a trend for the rest!

Kaydee, Meo and JodieC65 - All the very best of luck for your BT tomorrow. I am hoping to hear that you all got BFP's tomorrow. I would say if AF is not here then you have a very good chance, I have my fingers crossed for you :goodluck2:


AFM, the strangest thing happened to me the day before the BT. I noticed that my breasts started to feel strange, I couldnt beleive it. I thought could it be a sign, I didnt want to beleive it. From yesterday afternoon until I got the result I was going mad. Couldnt get it out of my head. This morning I felt sick from the nerves. Like I said the nurse was very reassuring for some reason, almost like she had no doubt i was going to get a BFP, but I didnt want to set myself up for dissapointment. I left the clinic in tears, very emotional and hoping I would get what I wanted. I dont know why, but I really have felt like I have been on a rollercoaster ride. 4 eggs at EPU, 1 made it to ET, and nothing to freaze, but the 1 i had left was a little fighter I guess and has made me the happiest person today.

I hope you girls get to be just as happy as me tomorrow.

BTW my breasts seem to be getting more tender by the second now. Crazy how much emphasis I placed on them. Very happy to have sore breasts :)

Luckystrike, it's so nice to read your positive post. Great to see you're having some symptoms already... now just to relax and enjoy the ride! Your little embie must be a strong little one.

I'm getting really nervous about tomorrow. Feel like I have some AF symptoms but no bleed yet... Symptoms I normally get once I am already in full flow... maybe I'm just over analysing everything... as you do when you're going a little crazy... ;)

Suppose I'd better get some sleep..

Talk tomorrow

Good luck to all the girls testing today. Hoping your dream comes true.

Good luck girls testing today...fingers crossed..

alloy, sorry AF arrived, hope you are doing ok

luckystrike- my breasts are getting sorer all the time and I couldn't be happier! It's hard not to worry that things are going OK after the journey we've been on to get here, and any symptons are reassuring. I don't have any MS yet, but then again, I dont really want to be really sick.

Farmgirl, I am sorry that it wasn't better news for you. I hope that the presence of HCG is a little comfort that something happened. Sending you all the strength possible.

Alloy, am so sorry too. I hope you can find some answers and can start thinking about what next.

Congrats to Nic, Luckystrike - lovely to send you both off to the pg threads now. How exciting!

Good luck to everyone else today. I will be offline for a couple of days and look forward to seeing your results on my return.

xx

Hi Girls,

Well AF reared its ugly head for me also (first thing this morning), so don't really know what our next step will be, but going to talk with nurse later this morning. Haven't been for my blood test as just can't and don't want to face the news just yet, but will have to go in tomorrow just to make sure that my levels are at baseline.

Goodluck to Kaydee and Meo, I hope that you guys have some great news later today.

Alloy - my thoughts are with you, take care of yourself won't you and let us all know how you are doing.

Take care all

:(
