Day 5 of 3DT, anyone want to join me?

[comicmom]

It's day 5 for me and am experiencing major nausea as I am typing this. I can't tell if it's the antibiotics I took or the Endometrin that's causing it. Man, I feel like throwing up. Anyone else experiencing this?

I knew this 2ww wouldn't be easy. I'm already googling to see if it's possible to implant this week even though the prego test won't be till next week. Arrggh! It's my first ivf cycle btw. Does it get easier with each cycle?

 

[sunshine314]

Hi comicmom - I am 5dp3dt today I haven't been having any nausea (well, I want to so sometimes I think I imagine it). Other then that, haven't had any symptoms. I have no clue if an IVF cycle is the same (symptom wise) as a regular cycle.

When will you be testing?

 

[ttcfurrever]

I'll join. I'm 4dp3dt and have no symptoms to report so far. I am wishing for some nausea right now . It sounds promising that you have that Comicmom!

 

[comicmom]

Welcome ladies! I will be testing next week Wed so I am exactly one week away, However, being the neurotic Googler that I am and probably all of you are (hehe), I learned that implantation could begin today. I am so excited with anticipation. I have no symptoms today (day 7) which leads me to believe that the nausea was indeed caused by the antibiotics since I am still taking the progesterone but stopped the antibiotics yesterday. I can't wait to reassess my body tomorrow. Hoping for burning boobies. I think that would be a dead giveaway.

 

[comicmom]

Also, are you ladies still bloated? I thought that once my ovaries settled down from the stimulation that the bloating would go away too, but I still have this awful pooch. Not uncomfortable, but just not my normal size.

Wish you both lots of luck. I hope we have symptoms today.

 

[sunshine314]

Yes, I am still really bloated. I feel like it is never going to go away! Other then that, still no symptoms.

I seriously overanalyze every twitch, cramp, headache, and little feeling thinking it may be something. Then I wonder if those little things are just there all along and I just don't notice them on a day to day basis. I hate the waiting game...but I am SO scared that this won't work...so this has been the least anxious I have ever been to take a test. As long as I don't test, I am still PUPO

 

[comicmom]

Hang in there, sunshine314. I compulsively tested almost every cycle for over 2 years. I eventually fell to just peeing on ovulation tests knowing that they weren't really accurate, but it would take the edge off and they cost way less per test. Since I was recently, officially diagnosed with a diminished ovarian reserve, I haven't taken a single test. I'm not feeling much temptation. Maybe it's the years of disappointment. On the other hand, the hyper-sensitivity to any little symptom is still there, just stifled better on the outside I guess.

This is my first ivf and it is pretty horrible to think that it might not work. First of all, the expense! Then thoughts of the possibility that my fertility is so far gone that even ivf isn't even a reality. But I try to focus on positive things like looking at pictures of cute babies and using baby shampoo (it smells so niiice). It keeps my mind off the negativity and makes me feel like I'm really about to have one.

It sure is nice to be able to share all this with you ladies. I hope this is as therapeutic for you as it is for me. None of my friends know so it's nice to let it out on this forum.

When do you test, sunshine314?

 

[sunshine314]

Thanks Comic. Ya I told DH last night that I have gone through so many cycles with BFN's I don't know if I will know what to do if I see a BFP. I think I will be in complete shock. I know one things for sure...when I do (hopefully) get that BFP, I am going to hit the ground and just thank God.

As far as when I am going to test, my OTD isn't until next Wednesday but I may test Sunday or Monday (Sunday would be 9dp3dt). I guess if it is a BFN I would rather know Sunday then find out at work on Wednesday.

I have just been praying praying praying for that BFP. I hope this is a lucky cycle for both of us.

 

[hollyhopeful2]

Good luck ladies! Prayers for you both

 

[comicmom]

My doctor's office just called an told me that none of the remaining embies made it for freezing. I was expecting that given their poor quality, but it still stings. Sigh.

 

[annie25]

hi im in a similar boat too im 6dpt 3dt today and feeling nothing but the odd little twinge.

this is my second cycle my previous was a positive but i had a missed misscarage at nearly 14 weeks. last time i looked back at my journl from last time and i didnt have much going on then either but at 7dpt in the evening i had alot of pain i think that was the implantation. the worry is if that doesnt happen this time im gonna assume im out

 

[ttcfurrever]

Hi Annie, I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage .

Comicmom-I thought my bloating was gone, I didn't really have any yesterday during the workday. However, by the time I got in my car to go home I had to unbutton my jeans . Today the bloating started right after I got to work.

Sunshine- I hear ya on the symptom thing. I had some mild cramps and twinges yesterday but I think it may be caused by the progesterone so I'm trying not to look too much into it.

Funny thing though, I had to "use the facilities" this morning and I was scared to strain to hard for fear of derailing implantation

 

[sunshine314]

sorry you didn't have an frosties comic Hopefully the ones you had transferred are nuzzling on in

Annie - sorry about your miscarriage...14 weeks. That is so late That must have been so heartbreaking. Fingers Crossed this cycle works for you!

ttcfurrever - I feel you on the bathroom thing! I had the same thought two days ago haha. We are a bit ridiculous I think

Here are my "symptoms" thus far (warning, some may be tmi):
- On Tuesday night I woke up in the middle of the night with a stabbing pain in my lower abdomen...it literally lasted maybe 10 seconds and then nothing. I didn't think anything of it as I thought implantation cramps last longer than just 10 seconds...after googling last night I started to get my hopes up that it may be good. Do you girls think it could be that? Or am I just getting my hopes up?
- I have a little bit of a stuffy nose as of starting yesterday. Again, it really only came on in the morning and then reappeared at night.
- The bumps around my nipples were huge this morning. But now they are back to normal.

No sore bb's or and the twinges are gone.

 

[ttcfurrever]

Sunshine- your symptoms sound promising, especially the pain on Tuesday. Who knows how long you were having it before it was strong enough to wake you up . LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one afraid to use the bathroom . I hear you about thanking God, because I know this could only be possible for me through his divine will.

Well, yesterday those cramps and twinges were barely there. So much so that I often had to be completely still to tell that it was happening and not in my head. Today though I definitely had cramping and twinges going on. I had one sharp pain at work that caused me to catch my breath, and then this evening a really weird sensation just above my pubic bone. I'm sure if I looked back at other cycles I've had weird twinges here and there though. I think the 2ww just makes me hypersensitive to my body

 

[sunshine314]

I'm with you ttcfurrever...hard to tell what is different this cycle from any of my previous BFN cycles. I know I had "symptoms" during those cycles as well.

And yes, I have been praying a lot and just trying hard to remember that no matter what I do, it is all in God's hands.

Hi ladies I have been stalking you for a bit. I am currently the same as sunshine in the TWW. This is my second try and had two embies transferred. I have had no symptoms other than flatuating tempretures hot one minute and normal the next. I have also feel like I have wet myself sometime ( sorry tmi) not sure why is this normal. Last time my AF came 6 days after transfer. I am not symptom checking this time as I can get carried away. Anyway hope you don't mind me dropping by x

 

[comicmom]

ttcfurrever, I am LMAO about your toilet comment. I totally have the same fears. It's never come out very easy for me in the morning and now there is this added anxiety about straining too hard and messing up the implantation process. I'm sure it's ridiculous, but it's just one of the hundred silly little things you worry about when ttc or preggers.

annie25, so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can't imagine how that felt after having gone through the whole infertility/ivf process and lose the pregnancy. May I ask what the cause was? Feel free to just ignore my question if it's too much to talk about.

Today is 8 days post my 3 day transfer and I have no symptoms whatsoever. I am doing everything I can to not feel discouraged, but it's so hard especially when I know this is around the time implantation is supposed to be happening if at all! I hope you ladies are keeping better hold of your sanity than I am.

I thought this link was interesting for all those neurotic moms-in-waiting out there today:

[ttcfurrever]

Hey ladies, I'm still hanging in there. Dh and I keep talking and making plans as if we already know this has worked (positive thoughts!). I still have some AF type mild cramping and some odd twinges here and there going on.

Delly- your comment has me wondering...can AF come even before the OTD? I hadn't even thought of that possibility at all.

Okay, have a great day Comicmom, Sunshine, Delly, and Annie!!

 

[sunshine314]

Delly - Thanks for dropping by and welcome!! Great we are at the same day...were you a 5 day transfer or 3 day (ie are you 7dp3dt or 5dp5dt?). Lots of baby dust to you!

Comic - I feel ya...any "symptoms" I had the past few days have completely gone away. Trying not to feel discouraged and keep my attitude upbeat and hopeful.

When are all you ladies going to test?

Also, random question but are you ladies on progesterone? I think that is what might have been causing any "symptoms" I had before.
