:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

yippee! im first on a thread!!!.....

i will be joining you girls on thursday, so so so soooooooooo excited!

good luck everybody in the TWW.

hi all -- i've been watching quietly and not really posting much. the tww doesn't seem that exciting to me this time around. testing isn't too far off, and i'm thinking the iui hasn't taken this time around, but i guess only time will tell!

congrats to those with BFP's and my heartfelt sorrow for those with BFN's - may you never have to feel that hurt again!

Good luck to those who have joined recently - as i've said, i'm watching but not really posting too much.

BG

Sonya, good luck with your transfer tomorrow.

BG, I've got my fingers crossed for you. Please don't give up hope - so many ladies have received BFPs when they least expect it.

Kazza

Hi everyone,

I've just joined the TWW for the 4th time now.....feeling excited as I've seen so many BFP's here this month, hopefully the baby dust will rub off.....
Sonya1, Kazza02, and Briggsy's girl best of luck this time round.....the stork is on her way......

Hi guys
My TWW has turned into a 3 week wait. Had BT last friday and LH was only 28, then another BT on monday and it was only 47, so ive been given the wait and see thing. I have another BT tomorrow. It is so hard not to look into things and this is all so frustrating. the hardest part is all the family who knew i had IUI keep asking and i want to scream at them. Hopefully tomorrow i'll get an answer either way, i hate the not knowing. Anyways. Good luck everyone and lots of sticky vibes:pray:

Hi Kazz, welcome and wishing you a BFP for this cycle.

Scooby, good luck for your BT tomorrow.

Me - still getting cramps on and off and I wish Saturday would just hurry up so I can have the BT and know either way.

Hi Scooby....i had a blood test right on 4weeks and it was 49 so i wouldn't stress at all. Anything between 16 and 160 is classed as normal at 4wks. I had another today at 5wks 2days and it was 843. Take it easy.
Kazza...goodluck,i dont know how you have waited this long

Scooby - hope you get a nice confirmation of things happening tomorrow. :hug:

Leesa - I know we're only 3dpo after iui but I want to feel a sign already ! :lol: It's hard not to think negative about this cycle when I've had no luck for ages.! Just gimme big boobs oh Lord, something to tell me it's not in my head !!!!!

SIGH I guess I should pace myself. I have a full week before "the crazies" really start !!

BFP vibes to all. Good luck to all the girls with BTs this week!

Hi Guys
Thanks sooo much for the support, i really wish i'd found this forum a year ago, it is so wonderful to be in contact with people who know whats going on. Thanks MO5 youve put my mind at ease, the nurses werent really to positive i guess they dont want to get your hopes up. Well i'll let you know what happens.:pray::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesboy:\

p.s. Deni i love your quilt, that is awesome and so clever.

BG: I know just what you mean, this TWW isn't so exciting, I guess I don't want to be too disappointed again, I was so excited last time after those false +'s. I'm not testing this time, and am just going to ride it out. if it hapens, it'll happen whether or not I test. I'm just living as normal. Study, and getting addicted to the arcade games lol!!!

deni: I wish there was some way to tell straight away! I'm trying not to get too obsessive this time around, trying the "relaxed" thing, hoping the more relaxed I am, the more chance this one will stick!!! But yes, BBs are the first thing I start inspecting!!!! ANything... last time the moment I saw a stretch mark and blue veins I was CONVINCED I was preggas! 4DPO today... waiting to hit the 7DPO mark, and hopefully some symptoms then!!!

scooby: Yep, I want to carry around a big stick and bop everyone who asks "so, do you think you're pregnant this time". Heck! It's only been 4 days!!!! It happened last time, with Shel's sister texting me everyday counting down til we did the HPT!!!! I was ready to kill her!!!

Good luck to everyone who is testing or having BTs soon! I hope i see LOTS of BFPs around here!!!

Thanks scooby, I'm making this quilt for my best friend who's TTC (same length of time as me), it's my "positive meditation" for her which she doesn't know about yet; but now i've done the beginners course I've got 4 projects on the go ! (all baby quilts) - one for another friend who is TTC, one who is pregnant, and one (positive thinking) for me (I haven't started that one yet though, don't want to jinx myself!!) - good luck with your BT today. I definately recommend TWW projects for everyone who is TTC - if you're not craft-inclined can be anything else!

Leesha - are you also getting the 1000 iui hcg booster shots every few days? It's so annoying not having even a guarantee that sperm met egg and still need to do all the needle stuff. I'm definately not testing early for this first IUI round, I'm too afraid of false positives ! I'm :crossfingers: for you.

:hello: have a great day everyone

deni: I only had the trigger on Saturday, and same with last time as well... do you maen aout the BFP's? It was really weird, I got a negative 12DPO, and then a positive on 14, and again on 16DPO, and then AF came that day. I put it down to dodgy tests... but that said, I'm still not testing this time! When do you have your BT? Mines on 16 or 17 DPO.

Leasha - i wouldn't necessarily blame the HPT's hun - i had a pregnancy last time that only held for a couple of days - and i have now kicked out all the niggly doubts that the test was wrong - i've had three iui's - 2 BFN's (AF exactly 14 days) and the one with the pg and early loss. there is a very real chance you may have had a chemical pg in there hun...

well, as i said - day 14 and i'm out. at least i have confirmed for myself that i have a 14 day LP, and that i wasn't imagining BFP last time around (it's a small positive, but i have to see something positive when everything is falling in a heap)

won't be around much for a while - can't get back to see FS til early November so we're back to waiting

So sorry to hear that BG.. :hugs: I really hope you have sticky success next (and hopefully last) time around.

Leesha - my final BT is 16 dpo on Wed 26th. I have to do the test at an adelaide clinic because I'll be on holidays - I guess they'll ring perth with the result who'll then ring me. I'll be busting out of my skin by then! (if af hasn't already arrived, my luteal is usually 13 days - but I heard AF can come late if you've had hcg injections during the luteal phase so I'd better not get too excited).

Just an update and then i will hopefully disappear from this thread for good (not that i dont love you all lots:lol:) My HCG was 204 today and i'm technically 5 weeks (3 weeks since IUI) so i think thats good, the clinic seems happy although i have to keep going Tuesday is next BT. I really wish you all the best and thanks everyone. I think its a great idea Deni to keep your mind off it, because it does drive you nuts. Roll on 12 weeks and hopefully i'll relax a little ( i need a 12week project). Anyway hope your making your quilt soon Deni. :D
Best wishes everyone

congrats on great result scooby.......

had my transfer at 1.30 today. we have a contracted blastie aboard Bt on 22 sept. AF due 24..... so i guess i will not have a clue until the BT day...

Hi everyone

Am in my TTW. FET this past Monday. So only 3 days since transfer and I have some light pink discharge and pain which is similar to AF pain. Feel like I am getting period although it does seem too early. Progesterone 200mg twice daily so it should be holding lining. (trsfrd Day 6 blast).

Anyway blood test next Thursday. I would be ok and not think about it at all but the pain and the pinky discharge is a little disconcerting.

Best of luck to everyone!

Tucs

Sonya - grow little one ! :pray:

scooby - congratulations, fantastic news !!! :happyforyou: H&H wishes !!!

Tucs - hope your little one is just nestling in there and getting comfy :goodluck:

Good luck to everyone girls... I recommend doing something special for yourselves this weekend !!

tucs - you sound like your experiencing an implantation bleed. i really hope so! good luck

Hi Everyone

Looks like I'm off the 2ww. Started bleeding yesterday and today has been as heavy as a normal period clots and all. Rang clinic who were concerned so they gave me a blood test. Progesterone is only 12 and should be 30. So looks like am not absorbing progesterone. My FS is overseas but they phoned him as they say it is unusual not to absorb.THey haven't seen someone bleeding so soon after transfer

I am to increase progesterone to 600mg daily over weekend, long enough for me to do a bHCG. I think no point as the horse has bolted but will humour them as I have the pessaries.

Anyway the very best of luck to everyone else. I hope your 2ww brings good news at the end.
Tucs

so sorry tucs. hope you get the answers you need.

Kazza good luck today darl i have all my bits crossed for you

Hi everyone,

Good luck Kazz02 fingers crossed......
Congrats Scooby, all the best...
Sonya1, it's gonna happen this month.....

Me, just plodding along....the only symptom which has now dissapeared was sensitive nipples for a few days after o .......strange....

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I got a BFN today - I'm not as upset as I thought because I had been getting bad AF like cramps the last couple of days (same as the last 2 times) and so expected it. I might take a month or two break to try to get my head together (don't think I can wait any longer though). I am going to think of a few questions though to ask the FS before trying again, and I am also considering having 2 transferred next time (although that's jumping the gun a bit because I have to see how I go with the next egg collection!).

To everyone still in the 2WW I wish you BFPs.

Kazza

so sorry Kazza. its good you want to take time out first and get some answers. take care and best wishes for your next cycle

Well, 7DPO today... the last few days I've had the worst taste in my mouth, which I'm hoping is pregnancy, except I have a sore throat, so it might just be a cold or something. My temps kind of flattened out, and stayed the same for 4 days... but its not my themometer as i got a higer temp today... just thought that was strange. My temps went all over the place before O, and now they are levelling out... make up your mind body!!!!

Other than that nothing else weird... pretty tired, but then thats somewhat normal. Felt a bit icky yesterday, because of this taste in my mouth, feels like a have lots of spit. Probably getting sick!

Good luck to everyone... sorry for the BFNs.

I'm 9 days post egg pick up today and still not really feeling any symptoms at all. I was also a little bit naughty and did a hpt, which gave me a bfn. I know it's probably a bit early, but I couldn't help myself!

Has anyone else gone on to get a BFP after thinking they wouldn't because of a complete lack of symptoms???

Hope everyone is hanging in there on the horrid TWW...

well i have 6 more sleeps till BT...... have no idea if i preggers and i know its waaay too early for symptoms.

Miss Scarlett - when is your BT and when was your transfer? i would say it was too early. with my angel baby, i didnt know i was pregnant until 12 weeks!!! i had absolutely no symptoms. i would say with us AC girls there would be less symtoms as we know if we are preggers way before natural conception IYKWIM?

My blood test is next Monday. Transfer was last Monday.

Missscarlett...I had no symtoms at all and i got a BFP nine days after ET.I was abit sleepy but i just put that down to being busy which I had been that week.
Sonya good luck with your BT i have everything crossed.
Kazza...I'm so sorry darl. Two sounds good for next time,two chances has to be better then one. Well thats my opinion. I put two back and I have one big black spot in my tummy so I'm guessing its just one in there. It makes me wonder if it was the first or the second one they put in that took. I guess i will never know. Im just happy I got one. Good luck on your next try. Keep in touch.

Tucs - :hugs: hope you have some answers success soon.
Kazza - so sorry about your BFN... :hugs:

Nothing to report my end.. 8 dpo today. I had itchy skin on my front and back on saturday but it might have been the jumper I was wearing (though i was wearing a tshirt underneath)... i've had moments of feeling a bit "off" but no nausea.. but then I guess it's still way too early for any of that stuff. This week is going to drag by...

Hi Ladies

I am very excited to join you today, this is my 3rd transfer and we put back two beautiful day 3 embryos this morning so fingers crossed they are snuggling in nicely. Tranfer was really good not painful at all, blood test is on the 3/10 so just hoping i can make it without AF rearing her ugly head! Good luck everyone!

Shan

ok i know it was cheeky but.... i did a HPT today and it came a a faint BFP! so gonna test on wednesday and see if the line gets darker. excited but nervous too. fingers and toes are crossed now.

Oh Sonya that sounds very promising!

Sonya - oooh that's exciting :goodluck: and stickyvibes !!

Shannon - good luck this cycle !

Hi Gals!

Great to join you all in 2WW.

I had my ET on Friday and my BT is due on the 28/9 - am hoping AF doesnt show up! According to embriologist my embie should have implanted today. HAvent felt any different. Felt a bit off today, but reckon that could be the fact that was back at work ... he he!
Even before EPU I started getting really sensitive nipples and my BBs are so sore! Is anyone experiencing that?
And also after EPU I have been in pain for a few days after that. Not so bad today, but the minute my bladder is full or have wind (sorry if TMI), it feels like it presses on my ovaries and kills! Day of EPU was really bad! Could hardly straighten out and walked like a nanna!
Has anyone experienced that?
So many questions! And finally ... can you still BD after using the crinone gel! Our BD life has turned to mush during this IVF cycle!

Sorry for lack of personals ... but wishing you all lots of sticky vibes and BFP's ALL ROUND!!!

Mon :)

Hi all

sonya... it sounds good... I will be waiting to see what the HPT says tomorrow. I really hope it gets darker! I'm so excited for you!!

Tucs and kazza... sorry to hear that AF came... hope to see you with BFPs soon!!!!

Welcome shannon

Deni... how are you going? Any symptoms you can compare to mine? lol :cryinglaugh:

Mon: I have read that you have to wait for two hours after the gel is applied before you can BD, but I haven't used it so I wouldn't know! I hope someone can clear it up!

Me: 9DPO today... feeling a bit off, tired but our bedroom is poorly positioned and the sun shines right in at 6am, hence the reason I am posting so early. My temps have been doing some funny flatlining... anyone else had this? What does everyone think of my temps? I'm worrying about my chances of being pregnant... silly temps, went all over the place before O, and now they decide to even out! I so hope this IUI worked! I am thinking I will know within a few days (I posted this on my blog too lol) if I am not, as I will be a blubbering mess! About a week before AF, I get the uncontrolable urge to cry about EVERYTHING. Seriously. Everything. And anything. And nothing!!!! So, we will see. As soon as I start crying hysterically I'll know its all over for this cycle...

Oh, and I have a question. For those who monitor their cervix (anyone on here do that?) what should it be like if you are pregnant, or of you are about the get AF? Just wondering... I know it should be high and soft arounf ovulation... dunno about the rest of the cycle.

hi everyone,
Good question Alisia about the cervix. I believe that most of the time around AF you feel dry but not sure about the position - not so high I suppose (opposite to ovulation). I seem to remember when I was pregnant with my first, I had some mucus around the time AF was due, which is unsual for me, but some women don't get this.

As for me, well AF is due any day now (from tomorrow) and give myself .01% of being pregnant...my BT is not until Monday, but there is NO way I am pregnant....I have NO symptons, I got 'the pimple', don't feel tired, no sore breasts, nothing. I don't have hold out any hope this time.

I have 3 frosties left - all the grade 1 embyros are now used up......(i know I was lucky to have 4 of them) but still it did not make any difference. What is going wrong ? I ask myself. I have mild endo, but did not have a problem with TTC#1, my hubby 's sperm is just fine.

It has been just over 2 years now of #TTC our number 2. I never imagined this would happen, and all of you on this thread probably feel this way too.........I wish we could all wave that magic wand, because it just does not seem fair.

Alisia - all the VERY best to you. Kazza - how are you feeling? Mon - VERY best to you this month - remember that the cronine gel does give you preg symptons (I was so fooled).

Good Morning Ladies

Mon congrats on the transfer and a big yes to the sore BB's that is a lovely side affect of the crinone!
As for the pressure yes on that one 2 i kept going to the bathroom when i didn't need to. :) And as for BDing we were just told whenever we felt comfortable after Transfer. Have fun!

Leasha - good luck hun! Sorry i have no idea about the temping or cervix monitoring sorry i cant be much help but i would be interested in hearing what you find out. :)

Runnermum - Oh hun dont give up just yet, i know its hard and very draining and frustrating i will be hoping and crossing my fingers for you!!

As for me well just trying to kick back and relax and think positively. Must admit im quite enjoying this TWW after having OHSS i feel so much better than before. I caught the train this morning and i know its stupid but all i could think was walk slow so they dont fall out :) My husband says im special :P
Had my acupuncture last night which was really nice and booked in again for Thursday. 15 1/2 days to go until BT!!

Good luck and sticky vibes all round!

Shan
