Baby dreamtime - I'm so happy for you and really glad you posted here. I personally love these sorts of stories, you more than earned it. I had my 8th transfer today and I was feeling so defeated. I was sitting here thinking "why will this one be any different". I only seem to get BFNs. But you are proof that things can be different.

Hi Con, welcome. Don't worry - you are certainly not the only person who goes insane during TWW. Join the club. I think all of us use this support group for TWW to be a bit insane. It's so hard trying to even talk to anyone else about this stuff.

It took me a while to figure out all the lingo too. It can be a bit confusing. AF (Aunt Flo) means period. DPO means days past ovulation. BFN - big fat negative and BFP - big fat positive. They're some of the main lingo you'll come across anyway.

Good luck in your TWW and be sure to let us all know your results.

Wishes xoxo

Delly, I am so sorry I missed your post before. Oh hun, that sucks. I am sorry you didn't get your BFP this time around. I hope you are able to make some plans in the coming days/weeks .
Wishes, hugs to you too . This journey has such lows sometimes.

Welcome to BB Con. I hope your stay in the LT area is short and made sweeter by a BFP very soon.

Hi Persephone1, Due to POAS on the 29th of June. I would love to start the new year preg!!.
It has taken us a huge amount oif effort to have our first stim IUI last Saturday.
Cut a long story short our bub died at 12 wks 2 days and then i had a heap of comlications and D & C's and then I had probs with Af then FINALLY had a go at clomid and it all went haywire then fianlly finally my utrasound ( clomid review) showed at 10days that everything was looking really good in there ( sorry tmi) and my FS had mentioned about IUI to us and i said right while we have this chance lets go for it and I had the IUI.
We are so so so wanting this to work but I am trying to not get my hopes up to high as I have read many a post in BB where it still takes forever or the IVF road is chosen. My FS said if not UTD by September then we go onto IVF.

I have been getting ( ever since I o'd really ) lots of twinging and light twitching down there never had this before. I know its way to early for Implantation but has or does anyone else have this going on?

to everyone , Em

[juniper76]

BDT, congratulations! I can only imagine how difficult it was to perserve through so much. I've only done half of what you've done and now find it hard to imagine ever succeeding. Did you do anything different this cycle?

Rachel, sorry to hear AF arrived. ps, GL = good luck. I made a very similar mistake when I first started posting to forums.

[Mindhugs]

Hey everyone,

My first time in TWW. I know BDT, Miss Magpie and Smithy from the LTTTC thread.

I am 2 days post trasfer of one little blastie.

I have some questions. Is it normal for a blastie to hatch prior to transfer? Or do they all have to hatch before transfer?

Also, I awoke on Wed night with sharp pains in my side which lasted a few minutes. I have felt a bit tender on that side on and off since. I'm an endo sufferer and no stranger to acute pain. Would it be possible for an embryo to implant so soon after transfer?

HUGE congrats to BDT and Smithy and I hope Miss Magpie's pregnancy is coming along well.

Best wishes to the rest of you. I am looking forward to sharing news and tips in here together and LOTS of success stories.

[dusty]

MH, a hatching blastie is a great sign, but they don't have to be hatching on ET day. It is very possible it was implanting soon after ET. Mine did the day after ET with strong cramps. Good luck hun!

Hi girls.... Just wanted to let you all know that BT this morning confirmed a BFN for me. Although I pretty much knew this yesterday, it still sucks to hear it. Strange thing is though, I'd kind of already accepted it, and my fertility nurse seemed more distraught than me when she told me the news.

I'll be taking a break for a month and will then be doing a FET is July/Aug (we have 5 snowbubs). I'll be asking for 2 embies to be transferred for the FET (only one was transferred for this fresh cycle), as I want to maximise my chances as much as possible.

Good luck to everyone else in your TWW. I hope you all get BFP's.

Wishes xoxo

[dellydoo]

Oh Wishes - I am so sorry, it is just been a rubbish run - not enough BFPs by half!

AFM - am going in for a scan today to see what is wrong with me, if there is something obvious it will mean that I have had 2 stim cycles and 4 transfers for nothing and that they didn't pick up on it after I lost Charles.
Great
All the best to everyone else
Delly

[Mindhugs]

Thanks Dusty. Is sharp pain normal though? I read it was cramps and blood. I def had no blood. But with my miscarriages I don't remember any implantation blood either.

Has anyone experienced a rollecoaster of emotions during TWW? Sometimes I feel like crying, other times anxious, other times relaxed etc etc I know they say not to stress, but how on earth is that possible?

Wishes - truly sorry for you girlfriend. My thoughts are with you. Stay strong for the next time. When I first joined LTTTC in January this year, most of the girls who I had met are now pregnant. Our turn is coming!!!!

[Loops12]

Hi all
Just popping in - ive been doing so for a while just keeping up with everyones progress.

BDT - excellent news - a big CONGRATULATIONS All the very best for a H&H pregnancy - enjoy it - you deserve it!

To everyone that has had BFN - So truly sorry Hang in there, i know we will all get there eventually.

Good Luck to those currently waiting - there has to be some more good news very soon.
Thinking of all
xo

[Persephone1]

Delly - thinking of you today, I hope if further tests reveal anything that it's positive and productive.

Bridget - Welcome! I think you almost got lost there yesterday with so many posts. Wishing you a fantastic TWW - when do you test? Lucky Number 8, yeah? for you.

Mrzbaby - I've had lots of twinges in the past couple of days too, especially today during and after my acupuncture. Hopefully it means good things for both of us! I've never had implantation bleeding before, although having said that my cycles can be pretty wacky anyway, and I might have had chemical pregnancies and put it down to a late AF. If what I've felt before is implantation pains, it's a bit like like stabs which I probably wouldn't notice were it not for me being hypervigilant and analysing every little twinge.

Mindhugs - welcome to you too! Wishing you all the best this time around - when's your test date?

I'm thinking of everyone that's had to deal with BFNs this week and feeling lucky that I have another week before I have to deal with whatever is out there for me. I hope you all see very obese BFPs soon.

to everyone still on the TWW.

hey girls. 6 days to go until BT. at least the weekend will go quickly and it will be monday in no time and then only 3 days to go.

Am feeling some pains, but who knows. Last time i had transfer on a thurs, and the following thurs i felt sick all day, got the shakes, felt like food poisoning, and eventually threw up that night and felt rotten the next day, and started spotting. When i had BT on the following monday, hcg levels were 35, so i figured that the thursday prior was when things went wrong. Hcg levels were back to 0 the following monday.

So this time, transfer was last saturday. All the nurses at monash are so nice. When i went back this time, its like they know you and they are so supportive. I figure if i make it though the weekend without incident then maybe that is one step closer than last time.

Fingers crossed. The last 3 days became unbearable last time and when i started to go a bit mental, so you will probably hear lots more from me in the next week!

Good luck to you all. Love that there are some BFP's here, gives us all hope.!!

[Mindhugs]

Hi Persephone,

My BT is 29 June. God this TWW is awful for me so far. Prob b/c I have been sitting at home doing nothing since TF. Starting tom I will be getting out but taking it easy.

Bridget - good luck with your TWW. We're all in this together. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

Hey Loops 12 - haven't seen you for a while. So this is where you've been.

Mrzbaby - sisters in twinges, you, me and Seph! I'm like - is it my endo, could it be IBS maybe??? Is this a possible implantation? Of course the textbooks say "cramping and blood", but I guess there are so many weird symptoms that pregnant women get.

Delly - GL honey. I do hope today brought some clarity for you.

Have a great evening and weekend everyone.

[infinity]

Just quickly dropping in....

Dellydoo - I am so sorry. I was hoping it was your turn finally. There is nothing I can say except swear words that will get me kicked off BB! Hoping your scans are fine and you get your BFP next time. xx

Saph - again so sorry. I posted in LTAC to you but in case you don't see it please take care of yourself. thinking of you xx

Persephone - halfway there now, so many BFN's in here it's definitely time for a BFP - which is going to be yours!! Good luck with the rest of your wait.

Mindhugs - it appears the universe may be having an end of financial year clear out of LTTTCers lately - here's hoping you are one of them! Good luck and sticky vibes.

to all who got BFN's - I'm sorry

to all others in the TWW, best of luck and hoping you get your BFP's

[Persephone1]

Is it terrible that I'm expecting a BFP? I really hope not. This cycle has been so much more positive and 'present' than the others - I feel like I just 'know' that this is the one. I have noticed every twinge (which isn't unusual, having TTC for three years, you tend to notice everything), but I feel a 'presence' is there. I know that sounds daggy and I also know that in a week's time I could look back on this post and feel really stupid. But I also know that I can't say this stuff to DH because he tells me to 'stop thinking about it' which is just so helpful!

So, last night I was laying in bed and noticing everything, as usual. I could feel twinges and stabbing sensations about halfway between my belly button and my groin - sort of where my pantyline is. It could mean nothing, but it could mean something.

Anyway, even if I might have it in my head that this is THE ONE, I also haven't got my hopes up. I feel like this cycle is different because I'm seeing the acupuncturist and taking aspirin and Wild Yam, so I think I've just convinced myself that this just has to be THE ONE because I don't know what else I need to do to get that BFP. I've tried everything now!

I know someone else said on here the other day that the TWW is hard because it's so hopeful and difficult at the same time - I have felt emotional in the last week, and felt quite teary after the ET because the enormity of what might happen hits me in the face - I might get a BFP, or I might get a BFN, or I might get a ****y Almost BFP that becomes a BFN. And again, telling DH this gets the usual 'don't think about it' response. I know he does this because he has to contain his emotions in order to deal with it as well.

Sorry, I'm really just procrastinating from the study. Should get this essay done by tomorrow evening, so better get cracking.

Hope you all have a nice weekend girls, and thanks so much for your support - in case I don't say it next week, I've really appreciated coming on here and offloading and sharing our journeys together. All my other TWWs have been shared with DH - but you know how that conversation goes!

[mrzbaby]

Pers - I know how you are feeling. My DH has told me the same thing and i got hte false postive about 2 cycles ago ( from the clomid). MY heart and world just dropped around me but this cycle is different. I feel more hopeful ( probably becuase I know that with the stim IUI we have done everything we can at the right time so the rest is fate) ..if that makes sense.

I am petrified of doing a POAS and usually by now I would be peeing my heart out lol... I am excited but nervous about doing a test this cycle...
Go with your heart and rememember I and all the ladies here on this thread are there for you.
I for us on this cycle.

To everyone else I am a big thrower of this magical stuff : and lots of to all of us.

By the way my doc said in front of DH after the procedure that I wasn't to test for two and a half weeks. So DH has instructed me no testing till the 1st July...but I might sneak one in early lol
