Good luck to everyone this month and wishing you all BFPs!!!
Well its been a warm day in my area, so glad it's starting to cool down now
Londonmiss great news for you! Pleased to hear that you have two lovely follicles. Fingers x'd for you
Murraycod thanks for your wishes, and good luck for your cycle
Mitf i hope your day has improved hun, i know having a restless night can be very unsettling. Sometimes i ask myself the big question: 'do i think this month is the one?' And it's so hard to say yep, absolutely, just in case we're let down again. So i tend to brush it away and tell myself if it's time, then it will happen a bit of a lame response, but it's easier to handle, for me anyway.
Sonialousie how are you coming along sweet? I really hope no more spotting, and it's just good news all round from here on
Terry best wishes for this cycle
Lise thinking of you! How did you go - praying that you've had a beautiful result xx
AFM i've had a bit of a restless day - kept feeling a little like i do when you know what is approaching, but each time i went to the loo, there was nothing, thank god! So just feel like i've been holding my breath all day. Really want to make it to friday, so that its the bt that gives me the result, just so i can hold on to hope for a few more days if that makes sense? DH is away for work for 3 nights now.... he said a classic yesterday, he asked me "what are you doing fri babe?" and i replied "having a blood test" and he goes "oh yeah, i forgot about that" !! Can you believe it? It's all i've been thinking about for two weeks, and he casually forgets about it!!!
Hi ladies,
I hope you all had a great day today, not long and it is yet another weekend. I love the weekend.
Theresep- I had to laugh at your comment about DH, this evening my DH asked me when the blood test was!!! I swear that they just switch off sometimes. Only two more sleeps. Hopefully we will both have some good news.
Londonmiss- I am so glad you had some good news!
Murraycod- Welcome, I hope you get a BFP this month!
Mitf- I totally understand how you feel. I think if I convince myself it will be a negative result it will be easier to cope with. For me though I have a little secret voice saying, ?you don?t really think it will be negative?.
I hope you have a better day tomorrow
Terry- I hope the next week is not too difficult, I am wishing you some very good news this month.
AFM I called the nurse this morning and basically there are three possibilities.
I am not pregnant and AF is trying to fight through the crinone
I am pregnant and I have very low progesterone which is why there is some bleeding.
It is an implantation bleed.
The nurse suggested I double the crinone so I have one morning and night until Thursday (which is when I run out of it) Then BT on Friday will confirm the rest. It may mean I will need to continue with pressaries.
I have not had any bleeding since I had the second dose of crinone this morning.
I have cramping around the front, lower back pain, some nausea and I can?t stop burping!!!!!! So I am at a bit of a loss. Half of me thinks it is over, the other half is hoping against all odds that it was implantation bleed!
Sonyalouise and Theresep - have fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you both for Friday. I say if AF hasn't actually arrived yet for either of you then you're still in the running. Will Friday brings good results.
Theresep - thanks for your thoughts. I found out today it was a BFP! I did post in the other thread, but my computer was playing up so could only post very briefly using my phone and I didn't post in here.
Hello to everyone else! Hope to see some more BFPs in the next couple of weeks!!
Lise, that is wonderful news!!!! Congratulations, it's a great feeling hey? Your comment on AF not yet arriving for sonialousie and myself gave me a tingle of excitement and lifted my spirits! I hope you're right, as when i think back to my very first stim cycle, my AF arrived 2 days before the bt. I'm saying my prayers tonight, thats for sure !
Sonialouise, great to hear that the bleeding has stopped, lets hope hope hope that we both get our own beautiful BFP's!!
Lise - many many congratulations. That's wonderful news.
SL - lol! the first week I was pregnant, the most noticable sign was that I was farting like a hippo... so maybe that's a sign for you? I wish you all the very best luck for the next few days.
Theresep - good luck for the next couple of days.
Everyone else - lots of sticky vibes for you all.
As for me, I've had a couple of glasses of sparkling shiraz which I must say I am not quite sure about. I'm feeling really really fat. The injections do nothing for your weight or body image do they!?
Murraycod - thanks for the info. I'm here in Australia for two years, possible three, from London, and I wanted Miss London but I think I managed to get it the wrong way round... Anyway. bed time I think. Night all x
LIse- I know that i said this in the other thread but I can't resist wishing you a big fat congratulations.
Your hCG levels indicate there is one, but I could be wrong. Both times I was pregnant at my first test my levels were between 160 and 180. With two they should be double that. But then again everyone is different so you never know, they could have implanted at different times.
Londonmiss- I didnt want to mention it but I am also farting a lot
theresep- unfortunately it is very difficult for me to get the test at short notice, they didnt suggest it and I didn't ask for it. I probably should have but I dont think there is much more they could have done except increase my pogestrone anyway. only one more day and all should become clear, I hope!!!
I hope the day doesn't drag on too much for you.
Sonyalouise, thanks for that info on hcg levels. As this is my first ever BFP I'm really not sure what it means. Two would be a quick instant family, but i'll settle just for one healthy baby.
Thanks ladies for your support! DH and I are super excited and super scared too. Like many of us my head hadn't really thought this far, I've been focusing on conception for so long.
theresep and sonyalouise - almost there!! Am thinking of you and praying for you both that this is the one.
LondonMiss - sometimes that glass of wine is exactly what your head needs even if your body is rebelling by feeling fat. Enjoy it I say, you've got enough going on without adding guilt to the mix.
Hello to everyone else, sending the stickiest vibes to all.
Well ladies, its a sad old morning for me - AF has arrived, no spotting, just full flow. This is exactly what happened with my 1st stim cycle back in March. Then she showed up 2 days before the BT, this time its one day before, and i've had a fair bit of pain in the abdomen went back to bed for an hour, and the pain has nearly gone, so now i'm drinking some camomile tea to help ease things on the inside.
@#$%*@!!!#@**!! is what i really want to shout out to the world.
Dh is away until Sat - haven't told him yet, he will be devastated. He thinks my body is rejecting his dna
You know, i've not told anyone this, but way back before we were married, we broke up for a while - i think DH just really had to get it right in his head that he did want to be with me - if that makes sense? Anyway, you know what one of his reasonings was? He said "what if it turns out that one of us is infertile, so that if we didn't have children, and we only had each other, would we be happy with that?" So he went off travelling, realised that he did want to be with me..... and now look at what is on our plate it sends a shiver through me when i think of it. I know that i will be ok if i don't have children, and i can only pray that DH will be ok too.
Sorry for the me post - i really hope that the rest of you have much better news then me. My bt tomorrow will just confirm what i already know
theresep - I'm soo soo sorry, i'm not in the 2ww(it's coming up), but I had to offer a cyber hug ( ). Your DH sounds like mine, a very sensitive, loving partner. That means, he thought long and hard and clearly made the right decision to get back with you and marry you.
I've also had AF arrive just before BT, it's a ***t I know. Take care, and I hope your and DH's dream comes true very soon.
Hi ladies been really busy at work today which is not really a bad thing cause it keeps my mind off the 2WW. 7 days to go now and starting to feel a bit crazy had a really weird day yesterday started off with really low cramps on the left side the last night just as we sat down for dinner starting to get stabbing pains in my back..what's that all about is all I kept thinking.
So glad to hear that some of us have had some good news and my thoughts go out to those who are feeling down.
Theresep try to stay positive you never know you might be one of the ones that gets a AF even with a postivie
Theresep - I am so sorry to hear about the arrival of AF. These things never get any easier. My DH and I had a bit of a break before getting back together. I actually know quiet a few other couples who have done the same. I think it can help to put your thoughts and feelings into perspective..... Also, I have read that more positive pregnancies are achieved via FET than as part of the stim. I notice that you have had a previous little angel from a FET. that once you body has had time to recover you will get another little miracle and your & DH's dreams come true.
Lise - congratulations on your BFP. You must be so excited to finally achieved your dream. Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy. It offers a beacon of hope that we will all get there one day (hopefully soon) with a little perseverance!
LondonMiss - I have been feeling a bit fat this week.... it is so hard to worry about your diet on top of everything else with IVF & TTC. I keep telling my self not to worry if I get pregnant I will only get fatter . Glad to here about your lovely follicles and all the best for your IUI.
SonjaLouise - Glad to hear that your bleeding has stopped. that will be the last of it and it was only implantation bleeding.
Murrycod - good luck in your TWW. I hope it passed quickly and doesn't drive you too crazy. Re your below question - at EPU most people are fully sedated (I had this) and don?t remember the collection, although I have heard of a couple of clinics that use a lighter sedation. In the latter you are awake but you are still pretty out of it.
Terry - Good luck as you count down to your BT. Being bust at work is always good, as you say helps keep you nice and distracted.
AFM - Thank you all for your lovely wishes. I am feeling a bit better day, although still no strong signs either way. I am having a few tweaks and twinges but no strong cramping or anything like when I had my chemical pregnancy... (not sure if that is a good or a bad sign). TMI warning.... I am also having a wet felling down below. I keep thinking it's AF but when I go to toilet it's clear. Not sure what that's all about
Theresep- I am so sorry for your news, there is still a slight chance but by the same token you do need to prepare yourself. I understand completely about being with your husband without kids. DH and I have had many conversations and we know we would have to change our lives quite a bit to cope with it. We have been with each other 14 years and before marrying we also had a bit of a break. We have built our life expecting kids and the thought that we wont have them is very depressing. I have already looked into adoption, but they wont let you move forward in the process until you have stopped fertility treatments for 6 months.
Your DH obviously made the decision that he loved you enough to be with you without kids.
Something my FS said to me was it is a numbers game, you need to look at it as a long term project. Someone who had 9 misscarriages carried her tenth all the way through. I know someone at work who was on treatments for eight years before falling pregnant, she now has three kids. Goodness knows where they found the strength to back time after time, I don't know if I could do it.
Mitf- I have had a similar feeling down below, even after I stopped bleeding. I have no idea why.
Terry- Hopefully your embie is digging in and making a nice little nest for itself.
AFM- Still cramping, still slight nausea, still headachy. One more sleep to go.........
I am just hoping that it is not AF trying to fight through the crinone.
SonjaLousie - glad to here the bleeding has managed to stay at bay.
Has anyone been feeling really thirsty lately? I have and can seem to quench my thirst, not sure if I am dehydrated or it's just because it warmer.... I had wondered if all the extra progesterone in my system might be doing it???
Dear girls, thanks so much for all the kind words and understanding how i'm feeling today.
Sonialouise, you hit the nail right on the head when talking about you + your DH - i thought it was only me that had that situation - its incredible when you confide with others, how often they also have experienced something similar. I have told my DH that i didn't marry him just to have children, that there are a million reasons why i chose to be with him, and you just never will know of the challenges that life throws at you - you just have to cross each bridge when you get to it, and hope that you're strong enough to support each other. Mitf - thats interesting to hear that more positives are achieved with a FET - seems to be the case with my own experiences hey? Thanks for your well wishes, xx
Thanks for your cyber hug Airline xx
Well, i still have 4 little darlings on ice, which is some consolation. We are ready for a small break from ttc now - got to get our regular sex life back on track ! Sorry, no one probably needs to know that! But seriously, ttc has consumed us for most of this year, so it won't be until well into next year that we consider a FET. As i'm in regional NSW, the next Syd IVF clinic won't be until next March, and we are going to New Zealand then for a wedding - but i'm actually looking forward to the break, and you never know when a natural surprise may catch you when you're least expecting.
I will be checking in to see how you are all going, and crossing everything that we have some BFP's to celebrate!
Just a little me post cause I think I need to vent. I gave in and took a test this morning and it was negative. Which I half expected. The thing is all day I have been nauseas and cramping, so I took another one when I got home (I know I know it is not the first morning pee) negative again. I have got progressively worse now I have stabbing pains around the front and just vomited!
Everything in my body is telling me I am pregnant, but I just keep getting BFN. I know blood test is tomorrow but I am going insane, the burping is driving me nuts.
I wonder if it is all in my head, or what they call a phantom pregnancy. Surely I should have got a positive pee test. Or is it all because of the crinone???
Theresp- I just wanted to say that DH are going to do the same thing. If it is negative we are going to have a break until next year. By the way did you get a chance to speak to him yet?

Sonialouise you poor thing, you must be just wishing for tomorrow to arrive so you can have the bt and know one way or the other - and its harder when you're still taking the crinone, as it could be influencing all the symptoms. I hope you can get a reasonable nights rest.
Yes, i spoke to DH this morning, and he is pretty bummed, but obviously could hear in my voice how upset i was, and just wished he could be home with me - he is a good man .
I'm really looking forward to our break from ttc, i feel it will do us the world of good. Will be thinking of you tomorrow hun, best of luck xx

a bit of a lame response, but it's easier to handle, for me anyway.
went back to bed for an hour, and the pain has nearly gone, so now i'm drinking some camomile tea to help ease things on the inside.
