Wavegirl - Congratulations on you BPF . It gives hope to us all! All the best for a H&H 9 months ahead.

Saph - Wishing you all the best for your BT tomorrow. I hope you sleep well and your dreams are confirmed soon.

[wavegirl]

Good luck for tomorrow Saph. Crossing everything for you. Sending positiveness out there for you. xoxo

[dellydoo]

Morning ladies - Saph I hope today you have beautiful doubling numbers.
Wavegirl - how you feeling this morning??

AFM - going nuts - I bought a thermometer and seriously wish I hadn't. I took my temp first thing yesterday morning and it was 36.8, then I took it again this morning and it was 36.5, THEN, I jumped on line and it said normal temp is 37 so I am thoroughly confused. Boobs are swollen and tender and all feels OK - should abandon the thermometer?????

Dellydoo - I think with checking boobs, cramps, stabs, cm, hpts, opks, and everything else, you could probably do without the thermometer. I have one in my bedside table and stopped using it when we started IVF. The charting drove me insane, and obviously was fruitless in TTC anyway. I haven't started charting my temps again because I figured it would just give me something else to analyse incessantly. Throw it away girl!

Saph - thinking of you today, all the best for billions of numbers.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

AFM - feeling some slight stabs in my LHS which is almost like a burning sensation, but I then start to analyse them (!) and they go away. Stupid TWW.

Have a good day Ladies,
Seph

Morning girls.

Saph - just wanted to send you positive vibes and good luck for the BT today. Can't wait to hear the results.

Wavegirl - CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for you. I can't even imagine how it must have felt to get that phone call from the nurse. How exciting.

Seph - I know how you feel. I'm so sick of over analysing every little thing I feel in my body at the moment. Hang in there.

AFM - Still not sure how to read my body right now. Feeling slight cramps and a dull ache in my abdomen that I get with AF. But Wavegirl's early pregnancy symptoms have given me a bit of hope that maybe it's not over yet. I am 12dpo today, and haven't had any spotting (yet). Two days to go til BT on Friday.

Wishes xoxo

Dellydoo, I think your temperature varies during the day. For TTC you're supposed to record your BBT (basal body temperature) immediately after you wake up. That's a resting temperature. Mine is normally between 36.0 & 36.5 before O and between 36.5 and 37.0 after O. But it took me a few months of charting to really get a feel for what my normal temperatures are. After getting up and moving around your temperature would normally increase and be more like the 37 you mentioned. Realistically, your temps don't mean anything during IVF because they are affected by the meds. But I did chart (out of curiosity) for my 2nd IVF a couple of months ago - use the link in my signature if you're interested in having a look. Try not to let the temps mess with your head, they probably don't mean anything right now.

wavegirl..way to go hunny

saph.. oh hun im so thinking of you today

[dellydoo]

Thanks so much Juniper I feel a lot better and will leave the thing alone from now on! Will have a look at you charting to get an idea but realistically am crazy enough without further help.
Thanks again
Delly

[MsPink]

Wavegirl - big congratulations...

Dellydoo - you are too funny - ditch the temping will you please...when is your testing day?? Please put me out of my misery..

[saph204]

Well not looking good for me Hcg only went to 47 so looks like this will be our first angle baby. They want to do more bloods on friday to see if maybe its a little slow to get going but they are not optimistic.

Left work in floods of tears, I hate that everyone at work knows and that they where hoping this was our time. It makes it hard to fall apart in private with everyone asking hows it going.

I should feel extremely lucky because I have DS and all I want right now is to get him from daycare and cuddle him for ever but I can stop crying to go and get him.

Sorry for teary/selfish post as I know many of you have been here before, this is a million times worse than getting a BFN.

[smithy]

oh saph im sorry hunny but hang in there cause if i remember correctly one of the well known girls on here started with a very low hcg and has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl .
thinking of you sweety xxoo

[dellydoo]

Ms Pink - sorry sugar - I test on Saturday I have an exam at 8am and will do so after - I think it would be a disaster either way if I did it beforehand (I don't think they accept updating BB as a reason to miss an exam!)
Saph - I am so so very sorry. I had an experience like that over Christmas and they called it a chemical pregnancy. My FS said to be encouraged as people who get chemical pregnancies get pg. I hope it's not the case for you and you just have a bit of a slow starter. Much love
Wishes - any updates???
Seph - you OK?? Essay finished

AFM - just had a hot shower and am now worried it was too hot. Been studying all day and if I look at another book tonight I will go mad (er).
Love to all
Delly

[saph204]

Thanks everyone. I have had my cry. A little homonal and to top it of had to deal with children at work who believe that it is all there fault that there parents are fighting and that it would have been better if he wasn't born at all. it took all my effort not to cry with him and hand him over to our deputy who is a big burly man but he can through and was there to comfort him. Some people dont deserve to be parents.

Anyway we all move forward. This is a positive at least we know that it is possible for us and as it happens I have an appointment with FS to review treatment tomorrow. I am going to stand my ground I want to move on to IVF as i am over this hit and miss of IUI. I guess there is a silver linning in every cloud. If we hadnt had this we would have been in limbo weather to start a new cycle at the beginning of week before review. Now I guess we can start afresh from now on.

[mrzbaby]

Hi everyone,
well I am in my TWW and my DH and I are really things go our way this cycle.
We had a stim IUI
Going to try and not do a POAS test until AFTER my A/F is due :OMG: see how I go
Em

[mitf]

Saph, so sorry to hear that your levels aren't rising. Praying that things improve for you before Friday.... also, good luck with your FS tomorrow. I met with my FS this arvo and we too have decided its time to move forward with IVF.
