Leasha and Elle - how EXCITING !!!!! Best wishes for the BTs girls !!!! :crossfingers: :crossfingers:
Hi Mum2Jaden. Hope you get an answer one way or the other soon.
Mel, DW on 2 x daily crinone. Don't know why some people would have 1 versus 2. Strange they have DW on two given her levels are perfect too.
Hi to everyone. Far out I am exhausted. Think I will go to bed, which is pathetic at this time of the night.
Well I have a confession to make...I was driving to work...got to the car park...parked the car...called the clinic to 'check' if I was supposed to have my test today as the date on my form was the 24th but they said Saturday...so they said to come in today!!!!
So I have the test and they say they will call me...
10.30am...mobile rings...nurse...'We've cracked it! E21500, P4 125 and HcG 75" and my response...that's a bit low isn't it...and she cracked it at me!!!! It's a great level for only 10 DPO etc etc and I finally get a word in to say...no I trigger on the 6th which makes ovulation the 8th so that's more than 10DPO...and she still didn't get what I was saying...so I gave up!!!
Went into the clinic this afternoon and spoke to another nurse who agreed that I'm 19 DPO...but she still thinks the levels are ok...so then she worked out my due date...28th April...another blood on Monday to check the levels are rising??? So we wait again...sorry for the novel...a little annoyed by the whole thing...should just be thankful for the BFP but just so scared after everything we've been through...thanks for all your support guys xxx
Hi Ellie,
Congratulations on your results today, that's great news!
I'll have my fingers crossed for rising levels for your BT on Monday.
Take care.
Kazza
Ellie - thats wonderful news hun!! I'm so praying that everything goes well for you.

Hi Ellie
Honey i totally understand your doubts and i guess you wont relax until bubs is in your arms (and then its a whole lot of diff stresses!) our first baby was born much too early and with his brother i didnt relax until 36 weeks pregnant... as much as you probably wnna jump for joy, you have had plenty of sadness. but honey YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are up the duff, have a bun in the oven, are expecting, preggers!!!!!! congrats hun, take care of yourself.......
truly hope to join you and one day meet up....
Hi all i guess im aloud to join you all now. I had transfer at 10:15 today. We had two embryos put back two days after EPU,they where at 4 cells. So now its the terrible wait. Have to go back on the 12th september if AF hasnt arrived
Hi everyone, hope people's waits are going quick!!
Ellie, sorry havent posted earlier. Sneaky girl!! Having bloods yest! I want to say congrats first, because your Hcg is still quite high so thats good. And also, to let you know im thinking of you. Its not fair that you have to wait for a f-up blood test. Wouldnt it be nice if things were just black and white? We go through so much and when we see an end in sight, something else happens, or levels arent high enough, blah blah. Lets hope that Mon gives you a good rise in Hcg, i am feeling really positive, i really think this is the month for you, i do! I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend and try not think about it too much (although i know this will be hard). Got everything crossed for Monday :) You deserve this, just keep thinking good things!!
Mumof5- yay, another person in the 2ww!! Hope everything is going well.
Me- well i had crap CRAP night at work last night. I hate my job right now, so looking forward to leaving. Start at ten, finish at eight this morn. Anyway, to cut story short, one of the guys punched me in tummy this morn, and i just lost it. Started crying and i told my in charge i was going- was almost time to leave anyhow. And you know what the guy said- oh sorry if its a bad time in the month for you or something!! WTF! I was so emotional and even though wasnt right in my lower abdo, it still hurt- sorta near lower rib cage. I cried and cried on my way home in the car, id just had enough. Im not feeling really positive at the mom. I dont feel any different, i havent got sore BB and i havent felt any cramps. I told DH that i thought this month was our biggest opportunity, but it just doesnt feel like it. Im sad :cry: I just want things to work for us for a change. I know most of you guys understand, the why me's??? But its not fair is it? Ok guys, i need some more sleep,
Hi to everyone else,
Mel
OMG Ellie!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance: I'm SOOOOO happy for you! YAY! Sending you loads and loads of virtual hugs, I just want to reach down the screen and jump up and down with you!!!
As for me...clinic did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Just looked at my charts, said "oh they look good" past over the BT form to get done Monday, and asked about the flood levels.
MONDAY! HONESTLY!
I am 15DPO today, feeling quite pregnant, and scheduled to have a BT on Monday now.
So it seems we are, once again, waiting together for BTs Ellie!!! lol
Thanks heaps for all your love and support everyone! I am feeling much more positive today...mainly because I feel sooooo sick...it's reassuring!!! I'm spending the weekend at home and looking after the neighbours horse, sheep, chickens, dogs, rabbits etc so I will be distracted just trying to remember who to feed what and when!!! I have told the immediate family that we are 'off and racing' again but won't be jumping around until the first scan in a few weeks...just really want to see those levels go up on Monday...if it wasn't for the stupid nurse and the stupid HPT I did yesterday looking lighter than the day before I would be feeling a heap more confident...anyways...dribbling away...
Alisia...what's the deal with the clinic? Why the wait to Monday...I don't get it? Sometimes I think they have absolutely no idea what we are going through and how two days is an eternity!!!
Anyways...I'm believing in good news for us both on Monday...I think it's long overdue!!! This bub will be born 9 years since we started TTC and almost on our 10th Wedding anniversary...this has to be the one...it just has to!!!
Mel, I am so cross after reading your post. I dont know what type of work u do, but I dont understand why some guy is punching you in the stomach - he has absolutely no right to do that!!How dare he, especially when you are in such a vulnerable state - can you follow it up when you go to work - I just dont want him to do something like that to you again..
Concerned,
V
Mel...I'm so sorry I missed the bit about work last night...that's just WRONG! What about occ health and safety...I'd be making a formal complaint...just not good enough!!! Ahhhhh...so mad! And you're right...it's not fair...but we keep going...primarily because we have no choice but I think the HOPE of what awaits us ...our precious little ones...picks us up. Hang in there xxx
Hi guys, thanks for your thoughtful posts, thanks Venus and Ellie :)
Im feeling a little better. Venus, im a nurse, i work in an ED for kiddies. The one particular guy in question, he is this smarmy flirty guy who is so moody one minute, changes tune the next. He really isnt that great a person, he says and does things totally inappropriate- ie undoing your bra (at work), touching your hips, things like that. He is the sort of person who, if you dont get along with him, then he can make your life a misery. I honestly dont know what i will do when i get back to work. I have had enough and thats why i am leaving. Sort of a high stress place most of the time, people yelling at you, and has been very busy and always short staffed. I love the kids though, the babies, and most of the people i work with, just hate the conditions. Leaving there will be, hopefully, great for my health and happiness.
Ellie- you are sounding happy today, glad to see you have a counter on your post now, wohoo, pregnant!!!
Alisia- ahhh, cant believe we waited and now have to keep waiting!!! Crazy!! Have you POAS again??
Thanks again Venus and Ellie :)
Ellie, congrats! GL Monday. Must be a great feeling.
Mel, do you mean he play punched (like lightly) or hard? Not that either is appropriate, but I'm sitting here wondering if he has thumped you hard, and if so, why?! What a ****er.
As for his other habits, perhaps he should be reminded of sexual harassment policies. It's easy to forget people like this actually exist.
Rols- it hurt, not lightly, he clipped the lower part of my ribs. I think he was like oops when he had done it. D...h..d!!! Thing is, he knew i had had a m/c and he knew i had done ivf, and even in saying that, no guy should ever hit a girl in the belly, EVER! I was just upset after, over tired, sick of the crap he says. There was a sick little baby at work last night, and was a lot of work, i moved him into resus bay because he needed monitoring closer. Team leader, doc was happy with this. He was working in resus, and is the type of person that, if you take a sick child in there, he complains. So you end up doing the work in there for that baby/child anyhow. Which i did. Doing some procedures on baby and was holding this tiny innocent baby still for close to 2 hours, an hour of that under heat lamp, and i asked him to take over. He wanted to know why, what for blah blah. I wasnt feeeling that great, and it was none of his business. I did most of the work for that baby and he knew it. But after he hit me, he went on about me not being able to "be under the lights" and him having to do my work. Thats when i walked out, said im not taking this s..t! Yes, i agree that he makes inappropriate sexual comments, im too scared to do much, people know what he is like. In my job, i have seen many male nurses get away with too much, not that that is stereotyping all nurses, i guess i have just had some bad experiences. I dont like people criticising my work, because i know i work my butt off and do the best for the children and families i care for. Grrr, im just getting angry. DH has threatened to do many things to him on many occasions!!
Anyway, tummy feels ok, but i guess thats besides the point.
Rols, i hope DW is well and things are going positive.
Mel
I dont even know if any of that made sense, sorry, rambling :doh:
Mel...hun...you have to say something. He can't get away with punching you! I had heaps of hassels with work and finally said something, it was so hard but now things are great and I wish I'd done it years ago. You and your baby deserve to be looked after and your employer has a responsibility for your health and well being. Please, please, do something xxx
Hey Mel i agree with Ellie. He is a guy and you never hit punch or what ever to a girl. You have to be so careful at the moment and for some loser to do that is just way out of line. I reckon with the way i feel at the moment and how important this all is to me i would have him charged.
I must have got some dodgy tests...
After those two that said positive on Thursday, and my really positive appt. with the dr on Friday, plus all the symptoms, I thought I was pregnant
I got a positive yesterday, but it was so faint. My heart kind of sank. It must have been the trigger giving a false +? Though wouldn't I have gotten a + on Wednesday.... I dunno, whatever it was, I'm definately not buying the Forelife brand again.
So after my faint positive, already disappointed that it was fainter than Thursday's, AF arrived about two hours after I did the HPT. I was kinda hoping it was implantation, even though at 16DPO, it was too late and I knew it, but it was so light, which is unusual for me as usually it is consistently heavy from day 1. Well, the lightness didn't last long, and then the cramping started ouch!. Took panadol at 12, no relief by 2, so took some neurofen... still no relief, so had to take some of my superstrong pain relief so I could get to sleep. Even then, that only lasted a few hours, and I was up again. *ouch* Have a lot of cramping again this morning, and a terrible pain in my back, almost my kidneys (probably need to drink my water I'd say), and the bleeding is extremely heavy still so I am definately not pregnant, even though I have the positive test staring me in the face every time I walk into the bathroom. I need to throw it out...
We had a bit of a cry, and went to drown our sorrows with Maccas on the beach. There was a kiteboarding group down in the water, so that was fun to watch. Then we came home. We watched some movies, then the footy (WOOOOOOOO Bunnies won!!!! Watch out, we're coming back!!!!). We cooked a roast dinner, which was really yummy, and I sat outside and watched my seedlings for a while (they didn't do anything lol, but I find it calming).
And now back to square one... Clomid CD2-6 (tonight), still only 25mg as I ovulated last time on 25mg, and FS doesn't want to risk OHSS (especially since I did actually ovulate on 25mg). And then a scan on CD13 (Friday 07-09-07).
so sorry about AF coming leasha. take care of yourself and DP too. glad you still went out and distracted yourselves. i stayed home and got waaay too depressed after my BFN's...
let us know how you go in the future...
So sorry Alisia...all bad here too...good luck hun xxx
So sorry Ellie and Alicia, am sending you both a big hug.
Take care.
Kazza xx
Oh girls, im so sorry. I was feeling so positive for both of you. Oh, its not fair. I know how upset you must be. Ellie, i am truly thinking of you. I really wished things were diffent. Im sorry :( Big hugs :hugs:
Im not feeling very positive either, no real signs, BB not sore. Maybe will be joining you two again soon.
Ellie, im really sorry.
Mumof5- how are you feeling?? Any different?? Good luck.
Rols- hope DW is doing ok, what sort of signs has she been having??
Mel
Alisia, I'm sorry things didn't work out this time. I hope both you and Shel bounce back OK and contnue to remain positive.
I'm so sorry to hear your news Alicia & Ellie...I really thought that things were looking up in the TWW, it's so sad that it hasn't worked out for either of you. Thinking of you & your partners. Take care xoxo
to those left in the TWW I wish you all the best & I hope that we get some long lasting BFPs in here soon.
:pray:
Ellie, I wont repost, but I did pass on my best wishes on the LTTTC/AC thread.
Oh Ellie, I am absolutely devastated here for you :( :hugs: I guess we'll be seeing each other again on the TWW again... If you ever need to have a chat, just drop mean email k hun. Sending you lots of healing energy and hope that your next BFP will be a sticky one.
Me: well, spoke to clinic yesterday. The nurse thought I was pregnant too... its all very confusing. I asked what she thought happened, and she just said, sometimes tests don't work, sometimes other things dont work, theres nothing much you can do but keep going. Thoughts keep crawling through, but I guess it's true, there nothing much that can be done.
So, as per clinic instructions, I am back on Clomid, first dose last night. Guess I'll see you all back here in two weeks. Good luck everyone!
Ailsia, Ellie, I am so sorry girls. I am sending lots of positive thoughts your way during my meditation and visualisation exercises. :grouphug:
Em, Mel, Rols and DW, how are you guys going?
Mel - if work won't do anything there are a whole group of women (and our favourite male) in here with hormones raging through them that I am pretty sure would be quite scary for him hehehe. What a D@!$%H^%$!D!
Me - I have been doing my best to relax up on the (now sunny) NSW north coast. I am getting pretty tired a lot, really sore BB (which I don't get when AF is coming) occassional cramps, nusea and faint spells.....don't know if it is the hormones or maybe pregnant. Trying not to get my hopes up.
Talking of signs I have a friend who is a medium and has read cards for people for about 20 years. The day of my transfer she said she'd had this amazing dream that was really clear. She dreamt I was standing under an arch all coverd with flowers and it was all misty. I was peering out into the mist and this little brown haired boy came and jumped into my open arms and kind of dissolved into my stomach and I was pregnant! She woke up straight away and said it was so vivid she had to write it down to tell me. Even stranger though...when I told DH he said he had asked a friend in Canada who does lots of visualistion and meditation to do some for us. He uses arches all the time in his visualisations. I asked my friend and she said she had never seen an arch in hers. DH had asked his friend the same day she had the dream! I am soooo hoping this is a sign!
(no point me looking at my vege garden as a sign...I am hopeless!)
Anyway good luck to everyone and take care....lets hope for some BFP's in here soon!
Cheers
Shelly
PS I have still not bought a HPT...VERY proud of myself!
Shelly, you certainly have a heap of good physical signs, and few good "other" signs as well!
Not much happening with us. DW has a few preg. symptoms I guess you could say, but all could be related to the crinone. She hasn't had any side effects from it that we're aware of (cramping etc) but these other things could be either/or, IYKWIM.
Hi all....not much happening here either.Today is the first day i feel good since EPU woohoo. Don't feel different at all but its way to early to tell anything yet anyway. Got the call from the scientist this morning telling me we have 4 blasties on ice. I was so happy about that,my mum ran up to me and gave me a big cuddle. Mums off home tomorrow :(. At least now we have another chance of having a baby without going thru the hole thing again.
Take care everyone
Hey everyone!!! Just quick question, when does the trigger shot go out of your system by?? A couple of posts i have read 7 days and others 10 days or longer...?? Anyone have any ideas??
Ta Mel
Hi Girls,
I hope you all don't mind me joining you in the 2WW.
Am day 2 post FET with DE blood test 07/09
I don't know why but am feeling very grumpy and teary today,don't want to do anything,the whole day has been a chore....am not normally like this presume it's the hormones.
Tummy bloated other than that no symptoms!
I would judt like to say how very sorry I am for those of you with BFN,absolutely heartbreaking.
Keep on keepin on....your time will come....
Hugs,
Claire
Mel: When I had the trigger shot, I had to wait to least 10 days for it to be less than 10IU, and therefore not be able to be detected by a HPT. And I was also told it doesn't I tested 13 days after the trigger (12DPO) and got the BFN with a 10IU test, so it is definately all out by then :)
Hi,
I am new here too and was directed to this thread!
I am on my first IVF cycle and my third transfer which happened Saturday so I am on day four. I have no idea if it has worked and I actually got quite upset on Monday over the whole thing. I am glad to see that I am quite normal as I got worried with myself for being so negative!
It is just so hard to stay so positive all the time - I know I have only had two disappoints and some people in here have had several. My hat is off to you ladies. I am amazed at your strenghts!
Hi Everyone
I am very new to this so please tell me if I am in the wrong secton. We are our on second IVF and have just had a Day 6 Blast Grade 2 transfer on Sunday. I dont know how I am going to last until my test next Thursday. I don't think I will get BFP as I have been cramping since the day after the transfer. However I was cramping a little just before transfer but I am thinking maybe its the Crinone Cream.
Its hard not being able to talk to many people who dont understand what your going through unless their doing it themselves
Good Luck to everyone I hope you get your BFP.
Hope to hear from you soon
Hi Claire, Lucia and Nat, and welcome.
Lucia and Nat, try not to worry too much about knowng (yet) whether it has worked or not. You can get yourself into an overly analytical state (like me) analysing all the possible symptoms or lack thereof (in my case I analyse DW's coz I'm a bloke), but in the end some people fall pregnant and don't havea clue and others know right away.
My new theory is if you can achieve fertilisation you can achieve just about anything when it comes to making babies. Sure, your first, second, third, or more cycles of AC may not work - but if you can just crack the part where the two parts meet and form one, then chances are eventually you'll run the whole race. Good luck.
Rols - Thank you for your support. I try all the time to tell myself dont read into things but just doesn't seem to work for me.
Lucia - I know exactly the way you feel. I had my blast transfer on Sunday, I am finding it hard to stay positive as I have been cramping even before the transfer. I am hoping its the Crinone cream. My test is on 6/9. It just seems so far away
I was wondering if anyone has used Crinone cream
Hi everyone,
I am officially out of the TWW, start 4th round of clomid tommorrow, see you all in 2 weeks......All the best to the remaining ladies in here, lets get some BFP's OK!!!!!!

Im sorry Mum2jaden, good luck with the clomid next month.
Big welcome to Claire, Nat and Lucia. How are things going today??
Nat i have been getting cramping with the crinone cream, is a very common side effect so dont worry too much about that yet! Sometimes when i get up from sitting down im like "OUCH." Im so over the cream, three more days to go. Sorry if TMI but it feels like i have a big tissue in my hoo haa!!! And it just feels gross!! I know its hard to think positive Nat but try and keep really busy and your mind off things a little bit. Try not be negative :) its not all over yet. Still have lots of time for that embryo to stick!
I hope we get lots of BFP's here soon.
How are are you and DW Rols? How are you Shel??
We are long overdue for good news in here................
Mel
