LTTTC Two Week Wait Thread Jan/Feb 2008

[farmgirl77]

Good morning all again. Yet another sunny day in NE Vic (tomorrow I'm in Melb, so I shoudl be able to report something other than sun ). Had bad nights sleep as I managed to twist at the middle last night - legs one way- upper body the other (like doing a back stretch), and got a pain in my right side - just under the ribs. Figure that it is prob just a sore ovary from the OPU still - well hope so. Starting to get pimples, and now really getting cranky (in my mind) at dh for not doing housework, tipping coffee grounds in sink and not washing them down etc - all the normal pre AF stuff - so pretty sure not pg. Oh well. Now just waiting on the letter from clinic on how many embies made it to freezing - that is my next great hope.

waiting1 - dont beat yourself up about the wine - how many people dont know they are pg till at least 6 or 8 weeks plus and during that still keep drinking and eating all the good foods that they tell us not to have - and do you notice their kids growing up differently??? In fact, look around any room of people you are with and think - can you tell which of these peoples mum's smoked/drank/breast fed them/made sure they walked at 12 months etc etc ... and I bet the answer is 'no'! So dont stress - savour how the wine (french - yum) and food tasted - who knows you may be in line for a and need that memory to get you through the next 9 months! Think positive!

BecD - I've given up on my FF chart - too much up in the air, so congrats on keeping yours going - I dont have the energy anymore.

jbub - i think that crinone has so many side effects, you might as well add nervousness to it even if it is not there - dont think they'll notice. Do you like chamemile tea (I really cant spell) - it may help a little.

emma83 - hope the vent room worked and that you are feeling a bit better today. just in case you still need one.

cg66 - hello. It must be difficultand frustrating trying to get when your partner is way. for this cycle.

To anyone that I've missed - sorry but work is calling, somewhere, in the distance - so I had better go and find it. Have a great day everyone.

Hi There Farmgirl77,

Yes it is very hard when my partner is away most of the time. But he has gone for two job interviews and I am hoping and wishing he wins one so that he will back here home with me. It's been 3 years he has been in this job and he enjoys it. But we aren't young anymore and he is realising this.

Anyway today was a really bad day, I couldn't stop eating, not sure what's going on. No sore boobs or sore back, feel bloated, I look 5 months pregnant. I caught a glimpse in the mirror at work and I thought OH MY GOD...I really need to go on a diet ASAP. So starting Gym on Monday, just light weights nothing to strenuous as you never know what's happening inside. So next week is my 2nd week TTW. I am due on the 1st Feb. I hope AF doesn't arrive. If it doesn't there is always next month.

I hope everythings works out in Melbourne.

Hi everyone,

Finally, the last night of the TWW. Babydreams, how are you doing? Good luck for tomorrow!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes for my dad. I am still shocked about what has happened and am not hungry at all, and am shaking quite a lot. I'd already be over there if it wasn't for the BT tomorrow. Can't wait to fly out on Sat. I've hardly slept at all, so of course am getting cranky at DH. Poor DH, he does have to put up with a lot.

I don't feel pg at all, I've had a bit of cramping but I think that's just a sign of AF on her way. But, at least like some people have said, if it's another BFN, it's one step closer to trying again. On that note, how long should you leave it between cycles? DH wants to start this all over again asap, but I think I should give my body a break for a month. I've always had a break before, but we've been at this for over 3 years, and are desperate for a baby! Familiar, hey?!

CG66 - try not to over do it at the gym! I'm sure you look great. I hope you get a BFP soon and a few extra kilos is the most that you ever have to worry about. The main thing is to be healthy and happy. Good luck for your DH in his job search

Waiting1 - I know exactly how you feel, preparing yourself for a BFN so if it does happen, it will soften the blow. Been there, done that (am actually doing it myself now!), but the horrid thing is, it never does soften the blow does it? It feels like you've been run over by a large semi trailer and one of the wheels is still crushing you, in the heart. that's how I always feel. Anyway, positive thoughts and all that! How's the movie watching going? Watched anything else this week?

Saltprincess - hang on in there, early days. But you are entitled to feel grumpy, it's crap what we all have to go through.

Farmgirl - loved the comment about my sister in law and a mobile phone! you are so right, she's a bad tempered bully, who has been left to get away with it for far too long. I'm ignoring her, but it still upsets me. I'm so sorry to hear about your niece, terrible. I hope she pulls through. I'm sure your SIL will understand if you want to talk to her about ivf. sometimes talking to others about their problems helps take our mind off ours, IYKWIM! It might help her to chat about your problems? Ask her if she wants to talk about it, you never know, she might be glad of it.

BecD - your symptoms sound very promising! YAY! I also charted like crazy but not this cycle. I like your comments about other people! I'm amazed that people even say 'no'!

Wannababy - I'm sorry but I don't have any answers for you. Good luck!

Emma83 - I hope you're OK.

Bubwishes - you don't necessarily get symptoms, so don't worry too much about that. Keep positive

I hope I haven't missed anyone. Thanks again to all of you for your support about my dad. It really means a lot.

One more sleep to go - that's if I can sleep tonight. I'm am sooo nervous, please, please, please let it be a bfp.

to all.

Rh76 no movie watching this week just been working hard to take my mind off it but tonight the cramps are really bad like I want to be sick but not close to vomitting. Wierd - i bet its something going wrong.
I just wanted to say about how long to leave it - provided you ovulate and have some frozen you dont have to - Ive done one each month for the last 3 that is one fresh and this is my second frozen... once af comes the body virtually recovers. It might take a little longer to ovulate (mine did as my ovaries were so sore after the 26 follicles) ie normally i o on day 14 or 15 but didn't until day 20 or 21 after stim cycle.
All depends on your body and how regular you are and how sore you are is what my FS says. Im currently on unmedicated fets so its just like trying naturally.

Ohh I feel awful these cramps are hurting. Quick cup of tea then to bed I think.

[RH76]

Waiting1 - Thanks for the advice on cycles. This time they had to change an ICSI to IUI as I only had 2 or maybe 3 follies. So I didn't have the OPU, so I can probably go straight onto another cycle. This one was a flare cycle and obviously my body did not respond well, so maybe FS will put me back onto the down-reg.

I'm sorry that you're feeling so sick. I hope you got a good nights sleep. Try to stay positive, maybe it's your little embie growing! you never know.

I am so nervous about today, the worst is waiting for the dreaded phone call. At least I'll be busy, I have a shopping list of things to pick up for my trip to see my parents.
