Oh, BG, just read your news and thinking of you, lots of hugs...
Ellie, got your PM and just want to pop in to say that 'I am desperately to hear your good news"....
I guess I am influenced by 'Desperately seeking BFP's username...BTW, congrats on your BFP Desperately, appearantly the name worked...I might change mine soon...
Hi all
great to read all of your updates. Up until yesterday, there wasn't much new for me. My temps were gradually dropping, but overall, I was feeling bloated, started getting sore boobs and was feeling awfully tired. Yesterday morning I saw the faintest amount of spotting. Light pinkish. This morning, my temps were up a little bit again, and overall not much cramping...just getting a bit sorer in my lower back. This evening though... more spotting.
I guess I can't complain too much if this is AF an not implanting (how I hope that it is implanting!). The last two times I started spotting at 3 days post ET. This time it was 5 days post ET. I ovulated on day 17, transfer on day 20 and today is day 25... a bit too early for AF....but is it too early for implantation? Does anyone know?
I feel alot more positive because of the accupuncture....and it has helped, but I don't think anything can help once you see that early spotting :)
I noticed a few of you were talking about having HCG shots...is that to keep progestorone up post transfer? Is that better than crinone gel? Just curious, because if this attempt is negative, I would love to go back to my specialist with questions about what I can do re my progestorone levels other than crinone (FYI - no crinon for me this time as my levels were apparantly fine at the time of ET).
Anyway - best of luck to all of us on the TWW - I hope we get some good results.
Mary
CONGRATULATIONS Desperately Seeking - what fantastic news.:
BG - sending out positive thoughts to you...hang in there and I hope it is all ok.
Mary
Hi Mary T...I really hope it's implantation spotting...I've just had my transfer and I had a 'booster' injection of pregnyl (same as trigger shot) the day before transfer...then onto progesterone pesseries twice a day(YUK!) until preg test ...then two more boosters over the next week...I had a medicated FET cycle if that's any help? Best wishes xxx
BG, I'm so sorry and am sending positive thoughts to you.
Kazza xx
Hi Mary T, I'm also on a medicated FET cycle and have been taking progesterone pessaries twice a day, no shots though.
I hope it's implantation spotting for you. It sounds like acupuncture has really helped for you - I may try it next cycle if this one doesn't work.
Am nervous about my BT tomorrow and don't think I'll sleep much tonight.
Take care and good luck to everyone in the TWW.
Kazza
BG, I'm so sorry. A loss at any time is hard but when it comes after so much effort and so soon after a positive BFP it's cruel. Read your journal and posted there as well , hugs to you and DH I hope everything falls back into place for you soon, it look like you have loads of support.:(:hug:
Venus congratulations, and more good luck for your higher levels at today's BT. Yeah!!!!
Mary I asked the same ? myself 4 days ago Bg answered with implantation can occur anywhere from day 6 -12 post O anything from discolouration to a small bleed. Hope this helps and thats what it is.
Hi Kazza, Hope test goes well when will you have the results?
Hi to everyone else looking forward to more good news!!!!
Me, I tested again Sunday morning 2 days before AF due, got a faint BFP, not sure if hormones could still be in my system from HCG injections, or if it is really a faint BFP. Either way AF is due tomorrow and BT wednesday, so not long before I know for sure. Felt like prg symptoms yesterday, today Nothing!!!!! I really don't know whether it is my imagination or not.
Kazza - How are you finding the pessaries? I feel really heavy like AF is on her way...trying not to worry...just wondering?
Hi all, well 3DPO. Feels like a lot longer...
Mary: I had the HCG trigger for ovulation (just to pop the egg out). I didn't even know it was used to help the progesterone level.
Blackduckies: Most people say by 10 days the HCG trigger (if you had 10000) is out of your system. :)
Hi everyone
Just a quick note on my b/t result for those of you who were wondering - negative. Levels were below 2 apparently - so there is no chance that I can be pg apparently. Even though I have the sorest boobs, am soooooo tired all of the time and still don't have AF! We are absolutely devastated - we were so sure that we were pg this time.
Cheryl
Chez i'm so sorry to hear that hun - take care of you
Chez, I'm so sad for you and your DF. Thinking of you.
V
Chez, I'm so sorry...we're all here for you, take care xxx
Chez & BG....it was so upsetting to read your sad news. My thoughts are with you & your partners. I had hoped with all my heart that no-one would have to go through this this week. Although it would not change things I wish I could give you both a big :hug:
take care, thinking of you always xoxo
Hi girls,
Chez, I'm sorry to hear about your result and my thoughts are with you.
I also got a negative result today and I thought there was still a chance because I still don't have AF. Apparently it didn't even try to implant.
Ellie, I too felt heavy with the pessaries on and off but try not to worry (I know it's easier said than done)and stay positive as I understand bloating and cramping is a side effect of taking them anyway.
Pam, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I hope we get positive results the rest of this week. Good luck girls.
Kazza
Oh Kazza...I'm so sorry the results were not what we were all hoping for. Take care and thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Chez - I too am sorry to hear about the result.
We are all thinking of you - hang in there.
BG i am so sorry for everything when things were beginning to look so good for you. you are in my thought huns :hugs:
chez and kazza i hope you are doing ok. after all the effort we all put in to an AC cycle a BFN is just so dissapointing and bloody unfair.
pam, the signs are looking very positive for you. can't wait to here your update. best of luck on wednesday :crossfingers:
ellie and alisia welcome and may you have a wonderful outcome from your 2WW. ellie, for the first week of crinone i had the most heavy feeling a bit like AF and very stuffed up inside IYKWIM. this second week i don't have any symptoms, just a bit of bloating and sore boobs.
mary T your signs look really promising - here's hoping hun.
ali hi and how are you doing?
me, i am pretty flat today. i did a HPT this morning to get a BFN. it is 11 since EPU and 8 since ET so maybe it is a bit early but i don't feel pg at all and have had no spotting. in fact i have started getting my pre AF twinges that i normally get 5 days beforehand so the timing is spot on. the good news is the crinone effects seem to have gone!
same thing happened to me last 2WW i was gung ho and happy for the first week and was down the second week as AF symptoms arrived.
well i am off interstate for the next two days for work. i just pray i don't get AF while meeting with clients. i don't think i would do so well and some of them are pretty tough, funnily enough it is normally the business women of my age that are the worst. i hope there is more good news from you all when i return...
dusty
Kazza, I'm so sorry about the BFN, you are super special to receive that result and still take the time to send everyone best wishes.
Dusty, dont give up hope just yet. I think its way too early to test. And yes, I so get 'tough business women' - nothing worse than women who are on a mission to prove themselves.
Pam - hows it all goin?
Me - well, you may have seen my post on a new thread. Basically, my HCG has increased from 9 to 15. I got quite an insensitive attitude from one of the nurses at the clinic ie: not optimistic - and its absolutely thrown me for the day - in fact, I've been in tears for most of the day. On the other hand, I have been telling myself that its only been 12 days since the transfer and my AF is not due till Thursday. I'm trying so hard to stay positive...
V
venus - i'm so sorry you're nurse hasn't been kind to you - this journey is so emotionally draining at the very best of times but when things are uncertain, the last thing you need (and deserve) is to have someone treat you like rubbish. no matter what the circumstances, you are an individual who deserves to be shown some respect. your fears and questions are valid, no matter how many times your nurse has heard them from someone else - and they deserve to be addressed with compassion
i have my fingers crossed for another leap in HCG level hun, and a confirmed positive
take care - thinking of you
HI everyone,
Kazza - I am so sorry to hear about your negative result...am thinking of you hun
Me - have taken my fourth & final pregnyl shot tonight - have been getting AF pains but am hoping with everything I have that I am not reading the signs properly & that it is not over yet. Spent time with my 8mth old niece yesterday so this has made the yearning for my own even stronger. I guess I'll just keep praying that my dreams will come true sooner rather than later.
thinking of you all xoxo
Thank you for the support BG - I really needed to hear that.
Ali, I have no doubt your dreams will come true very soon :)
Dusty, it is too early to test so try to stay positive. Hope everything goes well on your trip.
Venus, I'm sorry the nurse was so insensitive and I wish you an increased HCG level with your next BT.
Ali, hang in there hun, your dreams will come true.
Take care.
Kazza
Oh this is all too hard...the saddness that comes with this journey just SUX! Excuse the hormonal outburst...third pregnyl shot tonight...one to go...the pessaries are disgusting and I'm convinced my 'bum' is going to 'fall out' !@?! But...it will all be worth it if we end up with a bub in arms. Chin up girls...we can and we will get through this...now I've worn myself out...I'm off to bed..sweet dreams xxx
Hi girls, I'm sitting here thinking what a nice group of girls this is. Chez and Kazza I'm really sorry, it's impossible not to get your hopes up and there is always going to be a crash when it does'nt work out how we hoped. With these assisted cycles there is so much more on the line. Dusty I hope it is to early, I have tested on the day AF is due and got a faint positive had to go back a couple of days later to get confirmed and have a little boy to show for it, so you have tested heaps earlier. Don't throw the towel in yet. Venus, try to not worry it's going up and AF is not due yet. Alot of people would'nt even get a BFP at this stage, as my reply to Dusty shows, roll on Thursday. I think some of these nurses are just too cold, they see so many people and some of us are just a number to them. Fingers crossed for you.
Hi to everyone else sorry about no personals but I have read your posts.
Me AF is due before I wake up so if I wake up without it I'ii probablly test again. I'm feeling very nervous!!!!
BG I'm thinking of you, I can't say how sorry I am enough times. A little break will do you good, emotionally not to be actively TTC is like a breathe of fresh air, even a month, will make a big difference. Best wishes to you all Hugs Pam.
Hi girls, just a quick me update. No AF so tested, faint BFP but less than last time, soo it's all over before it really got started. Normally I would'nt have known , I might have suspected because AF is always on time except for when I am PRG, so I feel a bit sad, but mainly lonely. Don't know whats up with that. My next cycle will be an unassisted one but I'II have a go because I don't want to waste time, that clock is ticking faster everyday. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it does'nt end in disaster.
Good luck to everyone else enough of the BFN's and early MC's, back to BFP's.
Pam: BFN and no AF yet? Double dissapointment, I'm sorry :hug: I hope she comes soon so you can get on with your next cycle.
Me: Feeling funny, I hate not knowing one way or the other. 4DPO, having some fnny feelings, most of which I think are psychological! but my BB's are getting a bit sore so that could be a good thing! I told DP that I would know its nor normal if I get sore BB's (becaues I usually don't get sore BB's even before AF) and also being smell-sensitive because usually I am oblivious to any smell!!!
So heres :pray: for a :bfp: I can test next week, Wednesday 22nd. Got a FS appt. on the 24th for a scan to check if anything is going on in there.
Hi everyone,
Well I think I'm roughly 4DPO, this is the worst part of the cycle....anyway got lots to keep me busy....My 2.5 yold son is having grommets put in and adenoids removed next tuesday and staying overnight at the hospital..... pending his chest cold that he has at the moment....
Blackduckies, Sorry to hear the news, hoping that next month is the one.....
leasha0986, All the best for your BT coming up....
To all the other ladies in here....lets go get a BFP.....

Hi Girls
Just a quick update from me. I am due for my period tomorrow...and my blood test is due for this Friday....but....I started spotting yesterday (Sat and Sun I just had a few drops of light pink). No real pains and cramps - just spotting...bugger..looks like the wait is all over for me. Also, my temps dropped this morning, so one more drop tomorrow and I will definately get a visit from AF.
Darn it :(
Hi Girls
Hope everyone's hanging in there...this is such a tough road.
I had a really bad dizzy spell today and nearly threw up...guess the pregnyl shot last night is messing with me...just feel yuk...and time feels like it's standing still...ahhh the wait...here's too some BFP around here sooner rather than later xxx
Hi lovely ladies
Well it is all over for me - AF arrived last night and I am feeling absolutely cr@ppy! I am so tired and headachey that I can't concentrate on anything... I hate feeling like this. And the cramping this time around seems much worse than a normal period... my body is having it's revenge for all I have put it through these past few months!
I am so sorry that I haven't been around to support everyone else. BG, Pam, Kazza - I am so sorry to hear about your results. I know exactly how you are feeling and no words can help to heal us, only time...
To Ellie, leasha, Venus, Mary, Mum2jaden, Alicat and Dusty (and anyone else I missed), good luck with the rest of your TWW and I hope that we get some positive results here very soon!
For us, we have decided to take a break for a while. It looks like we are about to move interstate, change jobs, buy a new house and apparently continue with our uni studies! We are both so emotionally exhausted (and financially) after these last 2 cycles that we feel that I need to take a break. We will continue to try naturally and I am really hoping that by changing jobs and getting rid of the all of the negative vibes and stress that I have had for the past 2 years might help in our TTC journey. So, hopefully I will catch up with you ladies in the pg threads in a few months time. Good luck everyone.
Take care,
Cherylxxx
Hello to all,
Cheryl, sorry it wasn't to be this month. Have a nice rest, and hopefully you'll be relaxed and ready to try again in a few months.
Kazz, you and are are going along at the same speed. I'm 5DPO today. What CD will you test? I had the HCG trigger, so I can't test til at least 12DPO, do you all think that is too early, or might give a false +.
Me: well, headachy today. Bit nauseated. Left BB hurting, but not the right one lol. Feeling really tired. So I figure - I'm either pregnant, or coming down with something!
Heya
Chez - sorry to hear about AF and how crappy you are feeling.
Me - another slight drop in temps again today - but not to the point where my AF will come on strong. Still some spotting today ...but I just went to the loo and nothing red to see after I wiped....this is driving me nuts.
BT Friday....but can I hang on. Each time i convince myself it won't happen this time, something happens that gives me just a glimmer of hope.
I went to my accupuncturist last night and she felt my pulse..she said it was little bit stronger, but not strong enough to thing i was pg....but she said that time will tell and you never know I could get a temp boost.
Thinking of you all while we are on this rollercoaster of a journey
Oooooooooo Mary I'm so hoping that spotting was implantation, and that your temps will soar!! Its about time you get a :bfp: I think. I'll do some :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: dances for you.
Hi girls, I've started to stalk this thread and will be a more regular poster next month.
We're 15 cycles down the TTC road for bub #1, recent FS results showed we're likely to need a bit of assistance so we're starting IUI in early September (if this current natural cycle is unsuccessful - I'm still :crossfingers: and :pray: ) . They're starting me on a low dose of FSH 50iui and we'll go from there. (needles, eek - any tips to help with that would be appreciated!!)
Rather nervous about it all but you girls are an inspiration and I look forward to getting to know you all more over the coming weeks.
deni (Sharon)
hiya deni - if you look back a couple of months in the ltttc/ac thread, Melbel has given some awesome advice in regard to needles (she's a diabetic) - but her basic advice was "needle in quick, then slowly push the drugs in"
good luck
Thanks briggsysgirl, hey oops I accidently posted in the TWW thread, never mind - I guess I'm almost there anyway (Oing tomorrow I think).
