Thanks so much everyone for you well wishes! The whole thing is starting to sink in now, and symptoms are definitely starting. Now, I'm just looking forward to seeing you gals join me with a healthy batch of BFP's all 'round!!

Carla - how are you today? I've been a bit concerned about you. I REALLY hope the bleeding has settled hun, and it was simply an implantation bleed. Fingers crossed big time for you!

JoeS - Only 2 days now! Hope you're hanging in there ok! Can't wait to hear some awesome news from you on Thursday.

Georgette - oh yay! This is sounding VERY promising hun! I know how addictive that testing can become LOL!! Lotsa STICKYVIBES for you. Can't wait to hear your good news confirmed. When was BT again?

S'rose - yay for the temp rise. That has to be a good thing. How was the temp today? Hope you're doing a good job at keeping yourself busy.

Ggirl - how are going?

Have a good day ladies! I'll be keeping an eye on you all.

Arielle

Georgette - Good luck with those darkening lines hun, hope the bub stays outta those tubes for you.

Arielle - thanks hun, temp still at a nice level, probably nothing much, have to have prog bt tomorrow, 7 days post-trigger shot so I finally worked out, got given the wrong details first up it seems.

:hello: everyone, hope its all travelling peacefully for you all.

HiArielle
Sorry to tellyou but NO ....I have not stop bleeding its a definete AF. Did a test and its BFN. Have routine BT tomorrow but will have to start up again next month...now Im waiting for this AF to go and another to start. I am going to use this time to get myself focussed and healthier than I am now....relax and get myself together. I am still feeling the inital shock of it not working and finding it very difficult to put a brave face on but I guess in time it will sink in and Ill be ready for the next time..
Thankyouo for thinking of me.

How are you feeling 'o pregnant one' ???????? You must be over the moon!!!

Sonya, I'm doing my prog BT tomorrow at CD23 and it will be 9days after my trigger shot.??? Oh well I guess it doesnt' matter too much hey?

I've been feeling a bit yucky in the tummy today but not really thinking much of it as it's only 6dpo today.... too early for any symptoms.... although I'd like to let my imagination think so!

Wen - each clinic seems to have its own rules so don't worry too much... and mine seems to be very unusual compared to many others... Hey, that means we get to go bt together, thats a nice thing. I have been trying to avoid thinking things too, but its awfully hard. When will you get the bt results... I have to ring the clinic a couple of days after to get mine.

Carla - So sorry about AF and having to wait again...

hi bubs will definately be staying out of the tubes, because i don thave any, thats why im having ivf.

Tested again this morning, its still positive yipeee.
I dont have a bt test booked, they normally just do a scan 2 weeks after af is was due. but i will ask for bt.

Georgette - so sorry about the foo bah on my acct, hope i didn't offend you. So excited that its all still positive and that you get an early scan... always seems like a good idea for peace of mind really.

Well done Georgette! You must be feeling quite happy with your BFP! Yay!

Sonya my clinic is the same with BT results, I ring a day or 2 after to get mine. I've had some pretty high readings in the past so if I get another high reading it's not unusual. I think the clomid helps the progesterone rise anyway....

Hi, no of course you didnt offend me hunny, it made me chuckle to be honest.. i suppose im lucky really that im not at risk of anymore ectopic's.
Thanks girls...
Yer im very very happy, but as i said befor im trying not to get too excited, as i have had so many let downs befor, i suppose its hard to take it all in, that i am preggers AFTER 6 YEARS OF TTC.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days! went away for the weekend and then had a BT and HCG booster on Monday morning and ever since then have felt increasingly awful.

Last night I really wanted to make an effort to eat well so bought some fish on my way home from work but half way through cutting up vegies to go with it I just suddenly felt like I couldn't eat anything, lay down on the lounge and couldn't get up again!! My poor DH got home from work and I just crawled into bed!!

Do you guys think it is just from the booster??

By the way, the results from my BT were good and apparantly my hormones were already doing what they are supposed to.

Now enough about me!

Arielle, Congratulations!!! I was thinking of you on Monday and I'm so glad to hear your news. Hopefully I will be joining you next week.

Georgette - congrats to you as well! Wow 6 years!! You really deserve a break so I hope it all goes really well from here.

Carla, I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN. Hang in there!

Good luck to all of you that are still in the midst of the TWW - my final BT is next Wednesday - another whole week to wait!

GGx

Wen - Super, we can results up together now... This is the first results that I will get for a CD21 so am hoping I get good results...

Georgette - I am glad I made you chuckle... I would definitely say that there is an element of a silver lining there. I love that you at least are on the way in your pg and am hoping things stick well to continue the broken drought hun.

Ggirl - I haven't had booster shots, but I can imagine they aren't all that pleasant. Hoping its more than just the shots for you.

ok - nutty time... I have been wide awake and restless the past 3 mornings at about 3am, its terrible. The last 2 evenings I have had aching calves/lower legs, and today my calves feel knotty like they are setting up to cramp. Have had slight pains in the abdomen and a temp drop but given the lack of sleep that isn't too surprising... This is driving me up the cotton picking wall :)

Good luck ladies

Hey Missy Ive been looking for you where is your TTC journal ????

Hi thanks

Well i tested again (yer i know im addicted), and the line is very definate now, much much darker... looks like this is it for me, the end off ttc road and onto having a family at long last. I couldnt be happier right now, i shed a few tears this morning, DH is over the moon.
I have got my driving test nxt tuesday, so im going to be nervous about that eeeeek.

hey collo ive moved to the blog

Thanks S'rose - however I'm back to feeling perfectly normal again so it seems like it was the shot??? At least I'm not bloated anymore!!

Hope you had a good sleep last night.

GG

hi there. I am hoping that I can join in here now, as I am officially now in the TWW.

I had my transfer yesterday (day 5 blastie), so now have to try to keep myself occupied for the next week and a half. Not sure how successful I will be.

This my be the longest TWW for me so far!

I'm pregnant!:bfp:

Absolutely over the moon but absolutely s**t scared at the same time

Hopefully we'll have some more good news in here in the days to come.

Good luck and best wishes to all

Woo hoo!!!!!!! :confetti: thats wonderful news hun. Loads of stickiness your way.

NellieW - welcome to the tww from hell... we all understand that feeling totally.

Ggirl - hmmmm, don't know whether to go yay or bummer about feeling better for you lol. Hope more interesting things happen for you soon.

Update: Have had some tingling in my feet today, and on and off pelvic level cramping, which of course is sending me out of my mind, I am so afraid and so hopeful at the same time, this is all so freaky. Slept til just before 5am this morning which is a huge improvement but still a bit tired of course... too much stressing I guess :)

Hi ladies! I've been busting to swing by and check on you all, but haven't been able to get to a computer the last couple of days. I'm so pleased to log in and find some more fabulous news!!

JoeS and Georgette - Woooooooohoooooh! I am so thrilled for you both. A big well done to you, and here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy for you both. Yay! JoeS, I understand, that excited, but Sh*t scared feeling. I still have it (am 5 wks today). I think I'll relax more after that 1st 6.5wk scan.

GGirl - how are you felling today? Sounds like that booster knocked you around a bit, but don't be worried if all Pg related symptoms have gone now, as I pretty much had no Pg symptoms when I tested postive. They are slowly starting to kick in now.

NellieW - your results were fabulous. So pleased for you hun! Hope your tww is a quick one (if that is possible?)

Carla - I'm so sorry about your BFN. I hope you're doing ok hun.

S'rose - my gosh! You're nearly there hun. How long 'til BT? I hope your BT results were all cool, and that temp is nice too. You know, I am pretty sure sleep issues can be an early Pg symptom. I have been waking up at about 3am every morning this week, even though I am dead tired. I believe I read somewhere that the hormonal changes can cause this. I really hope this is what is doing it for you hun. Any other symptoms?

WenJ - How goes it hun? Any symptoms for you?

Thinking of you all, and wishing with all my mite that those of you who are yet to get their BFP's, will be flaunting theirs in no time!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Arielle

S'rose - Great to hear that you are getting some more sleep! You must be absolutely exhausted - I exist on no less than 9 hours a night at the moment!

Arielle - Lovely to hear from you again - so glad to hear that it's all going well!

I'm really feeling inspired by all the success in this forum recently but I've reached that point in the wait where I'm really starting to doubt. It's cd 24 for me and I usually only have a 25/26 day cycle so I'm getting pretty anxious now...

No real symptoms except that I'm so bloated! Although that might have something to do with the fact that I've been laying of the gym lately!!

I've been very calm for the past week and a half but feel like the next few days are going to be really tough!

Nellie - Welcome! Fingers crossed for you

JoeSpratt - Congratulations! The more flashing BFPs I see the more hopeful I am as well

I am sleeping okish, managing to sleep until about 4am now and doze til wake up time which is a huge relief. Still have aching legs and pelvic cramping on and off.

Got Prog results back and they were 82. Does anyone know if this is good or better than good? Feeling very hopeful that with a nice temp jump this morning, things could be going my way this cycle. Not supposed to test until Monday 29th - only been 7 days since IUI argh...

Arielle - thanks for the news on not sleeping, I hope that is the cause for me too.

Ggirl - it is a very anxious time to be sure, I am sending lots of hope to you that the bloating continues and the af fails to show.

Hey S'rose - I didn't get the details of my prog test - the nurse just left a message on my phone (I was in an all day meeting) saying it was good and to keep doing what I was doing. Did they give you any indication?

I should really pay more attention to these sort of details!!

Did you get a booster as well? I immediately bloated like a balloon and got cramping after the shot. I felt like I was about 6 months pg that night when I was walking home from work!!

Thank you for your good wishes - the same to you!!

No booster here, and no follow up support stuff needed either. I am really glad I didn't have it, it sounds like it gave you heaps of misery.
I only got the number because I asked for it... they weren't going to give it voluntarily...

Oh okay... this is my first IUI cycle so I'm still trying to get my head around it all. Basically I just do what I'm told!!

Best of luck with your results girls ! Sonya it's coming around fast (or maybe slow for you!) :pray: :crossfingers:

Ggirl I had booster hcg's as well for my IUI last month. They didn't give me any probs tho, I didn't really notice any symptoms from it- hope any subsequent ones are OK for you!

Another IUI is scheduled for me next month. I'm meeting my new doc this Tuesday - replacing my other doc who I didn't like at all anyway, hope he brings me a good vibe!

I notice there's been a few BFPs in here recently - HUGE CONGRATULATIONS JoeS and Georgette!

Ggirl, I've just done my first IUI too and am now in the TWW, 9DPIUI in fact. Good luck, it's a nervous wait when you know you've had assisted conception hey?

Great to hear about more BFPs, it's so inspiring and helps us keep up hope! Those FS's are doing a great job!

Well I took my temp yesterday and today and it's been 36.99 both days so not sure if my BBT is playing up as that's really quite high for me, or it could be a good sign.... :pray: My (.)(.)s are sore but that's normal preAF, but I'm hoping it's also a good sign... I feel pretty rundown and tired, a bit crampy and generally a bit crap. So who knows?

I got my progesterone results back today and it's at 130 so they are pleased with that. I've had numbers ranging from 52 - 190 in the past... crazy! They say anything over 40 is good and indicative that you have ovulated.

Wen J - Cool - I had my IUI on 8/10 so we really are in this together!! Actually the few weeks have literally flown by. I've felt really good at each stage because everything has gone perfectly and I really haven't had many side effects apart from being a bit tired and crampy.

After months and months of disappointing results at home it is so awesome when the nurses call to say that something is going right! I don't care what it is it just finally feels likes some kind of achievement.

The thing that freaks me out is - if this has all gone so well and it doesn't work - what on earth will!!

Anyway we've just gotta stay positive - you're prog result and temp sounds really promising - I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Deni - thanks for your good wishes - hope the meeting with your new FS goes well!

GG

Ggirl I know what you mean about it all going right. I haven't felt this content in ages! It's just like a fresh start when you have assisted conception, to know that help is at hand and you are trying something new for a change! I am preparing myself for news either way and know that we have a backup plan for another go at it next month, which hopefully we don't need, but it's there.

I'm not looking for symptoms anymore because I know that most women don't get any until at least 4 weeks pg.

Deni, good luck on Tuesday with a new doc, hopefully it all goes well!

How is everyone going?

Hi ladies. Hope you're all cruising along ok. Just wanted you to know I'm still cheering loudly for you.
I've everything crossed for you, and am spreading lotsa BABYDUST your way.

Arielle

Hi this is my first time on belly belly. I am currently in my 2ww, I had my et on wednesday with a day 5 blastocyst. I am very worried, I have had no bleeding but has some cramping. Is this normal, not bad but nevertheless it is there. This is my first IVF cycle so dont know what 2 expect. I have 4 more days to my BT!! really need some ladies who are going through this to talk to:(

Hey Tali, I haven't done ivf before but I wanted to wish you all the best. :hug: Hope your BT brings you fantastic results! I've read a lot about cramping on BB and heaps of girls seem to experience it and still get their BFP. :crossfingers:

tali - I had my et last Wednesday too with a day 5 blastocyst.

I just found out that I have to wait till next Monday for my BT!! Another whole week! Aaahhhh. Think that I will be doing a HPT on the weekend.

nice to meet you ladies I ma an absolute basket case at the moment still have some cramping but nice to know that I am not the only one !! it seems like these nine days are the longest of my life Good luck to all of you I am sharing your stress belive me !!:p

Hi All
I have just completed IVF#2 & had a transfer today. Just one 3 day embie, the FS & scientist were really please with it so here's hoping it sticks! So, I am now in the TWW category too. It just seems too unreal at the moment & I am trying not to let my brain run away with what could be, but at the same time want to be positive. Anyway, just wanted to say hi & here's hoping we all get our BFP's really soon.
Take care.

Well, I am nearing the end of my tww and have come to believe it hasn't worked. Pre-AF symptoms right on schedule with her due Fri or Sat depending on how she feels. I feel exactly the same as a previous couple of cycles so now its just waiting for the inevitable it seems. As the HCG shot wore off, all of my hopeful symptoms just faded away.
Will let you know the final outcome but I was really glad to have somewhere to come and share and to see some wonderful bfp's while here.

S'rose - oh no, I really hope that it isn't AF on her way. I am still staying positive for you!

Peta - welcome to the TWW. It is hard to find a balance between thinking positive, and trying to not get your hopes up too much isn't it. I am not sure that I am doing a very good job of it.

I am in a really quiet time at work at the moment, so I don't really have much to keep my mind off the TWW, spending lots of my work day thinking about it. 6 more days to try and make it through!

We are thinking about going to the movies or something tomorrow night, just to try and break this week up a bit. Have something else to look forward to.

Hi again all...

Have been absent for most of my TWW... mainly cos Shel had two weeks off ending yesterday, so spent most of the time out and about and trying not to think too much about it all.

I am CD30 today, but had the IUI late on 11/10 (CD18), so am 12DPO (though FF reckon I am 11DPO so I dunno). Have an appt. with dr on Friday. But I'm pretty sure this one didn't work, as I am feeling extra PMS-y this time, emotional, bloaty, and crampy. BB aren't sore at all, and no pregnancy symptms. Feeing a bit yuck, but I am just run down. So I am fully expecting AF anytime from now...

Arielle, JoeS, Georgette - congratulations!!!!! Hopefully I wil be joining you soon...

Ggirl... the Hcg trigger knocks me around too, I think it is normal. Good luck.

S'rose.. prog at 82 is very very good... I've heard levels above 15 are good levels, so 82 would be better than good (I think).I hope ithas worked for you but I know what you are going through, I am convinced that mine hasn't worked either :( again. No pregnancy symtoms or anything for me, just a little bit of funny feelings after the trigger, but now nothing.

Deni... long time no see, good luck for this cycle, and hopefully you won't need that next IUI!!!

Hi everyone

just jumping on board...had my transfer today.

Good luck to all that are waiting... congratulations to those with positive results...and for those with not so good results - big hugs and I send positive thoughts out for the next time you give it a go.

This is my second stim cycle ...5th transfer in total.

The nurses and doctors at the day surgery know me by my first name which is nice, but at the same time you want to scream out....I don't want to have to come back again any time soon!!!!!

General question, a few of you have mentioned HCG shots...can anyone enlighten me on when these are administered and what for?

Thanks guys
Mary
