IVF February/March 2012

[Goldy]

Hey Michelle how is the testing going? Have been a chicken this morning. Too scared to test so have decided to test morning of beta which is tomorrow. Am just scared of the what ifs!!

The only sort of symptoms I have is the lower back pain. The cramps have suddenly disappeared, somehow not hopeful.

Great day to all, Toronto for once has 13 degrees today. Hoping to go out though we all know could be a fluke.

Hi Goldy! I was thinking about you this morning and wondered how your testing went. I tested again this morning; and I expected it to get lighter just because today is day 5 since I did the booster injection. Based on what I have read online, there should be about 153 units of hcg left in my system, but again everyone metabolizes it differently. I have asked a friend/co-worker to look at yesterdays test and todays (still waiting for her to come by) because I really think todays test is darker!!! I just want to make sure its not my mind playing tricks on me.

I have a ton of lower back pain and my cramping has been not as much as a few days ago; don't give up hope!!! I was getting so down yesterday thinking that this isn't working, but my DH kept telling me to relax, that it will work out.

If I did this right; I attached a picture of both yesterdays test and todays (top is yesterday and bottom is today). The only thing is that I did do a 2500 unit hcg booster Saturday morning at 7am. So I could be settting myself up for a false positive! Only 2 more days till my beta!!

GL tomorrow morning with testing and with your beta tomorrow; I will be looking forward to hearing how it went

Trying to attach the picture again....top is yesterdays test, bottom is this mornings test.

hello ladies..i did test ysday too(5ptrigger n day of ET) n it was faint positive.i dint want to waste another test tday since it is way too early,i'll be POAS every other day instead.

I do think the bottom one is darker michelle.are they taken at the same time?

 

[jappygirl76]

Michele, that bottom test definitely looks darker.

Good luck to you and Goldy in your beta tomorrow, I am so excited for you

 

[jappygirl76]

Michele, that bottom test definitely looks darker.

Good luck to you and Goldy in your beta tomorrow, I am so excited for you

 

[michelle01]

Mmleo - I took the top test on Tuesday, probably around 3am (since my doggie woke me up to go out and I had to use the restroom). And the bottom test was taken this morning at 5:20am when I woke up. But I have to realize that these are a day apart, so maybe not too accurate??

 

[Mmleo]

goldy n michelle,r u both testing tmoro?if so...best of luck n

and how ru ladies who've just ET?am not feeling anything...and u ladies?

 

[jappygirl76]

Im not really feeling anything. Had a bit of a stitch in my side yesterday, but no spotting or anything. What is it supposed to feellike at 2dp5dt?

 

[Mmleo]

u r only 2 days away from beta...that might be a good sign that it is getting darker.One more test tmoro morning n u'll know for sure

 

[michelle01]

Thanks mmleo - I hope tomorrow's is darker; I definitely plan to test tomorrow and Friday morning before my beta.

And jappygirl, when I was 2dp5dt, I just had cramping, bloating, sore/tender boobs (which I know is from the progestrone), along with some dizziness starting. I would say I am still dizzy here and there, but progressively I had had lower back pain, which seems to be the most obvious symptom now.

 

[hockey24]

I'm 2DPT and have some bloat, slight cramping and lower back pain arrived today. But I had most of this when I was going through the medicated IUI's so hard to know what's a result of the progesterone and what's a real symptom. Only the blood test can know for sure!

 

[Mmleo]

so yestday it felt like i had a huge cyst n it was a bit unconfortable but it is getting better.does anyone know what it is all abt?and what else sh'd i expect from progesterone pills?

i cant wait to hear some good news ladies...all the best!!

 

[jappygirl76]

I forgot to mention the really sore bbs, but I just figured that it was from the progesterone. I guess we will just have to see as the days go by

 

[Mmleo]

i had the bbs with the stimming bt the pain is going down.let's c in the next couple of days.i;ve given myself bed rest..i hope it helps..

 

[Goldy]

Michelle
Those are great lines... That looks promising. Fixed for you. You are so strong.

Mmleo
Where do you get the strength to test daily. I think I will have an anxiety attack. I really admire the will power

Jappygirl76
Am scared but excited that at least will get to know & if it fails I can try again with FET. *Look at me already preparing my defeat! Should be asking myself where the faith and confidence went.

Am off today but am not curving. Will see if I have the will power to test before betas!!!

 

[Pink gerbera]

Michelle your 2nd test def look darker!

Today was my first day back at work and boy it was tiring!! I've yawned all day

I've had quite a lot of cramping today, AF type cramping. I'm 4dp5dt today. I'm praying the cramping is a good sign, what you think?

Good luck tomorrow goldy! How many dpt are you now?

Pink xx

 

[Goldy]

Pink thanks for the well wishes, am 8 days past 5 day transfer. Tomorrow will be 9dpt. Am currently in my uncertain zone.

They say cramping is a good sign, I had intense cramps yesterday spent whole day in bed, but honestly thought AF was on her way. Today no cramps but on and off lower back pain. Anxious.....

 

[Pink gerbera]

Goldy - stay strong and keep positive

We have to believe this is our turn. I've got into the bad habit of asking other people if they think it's worked but really the only person I can ask is myself I'm positive this is my time. You need to feel the same xxx

 

[michelle01]

Goldy - I wish I was strong, honestly I think I should not be testing! It makes this all worse when the hcg booster is taken; you don't know if its a false positive or not! Hang in there; I admire you for waiting to test and this is YOUR time

Pink - Thanks! I have had cramps throughout this entire 2WW; some days are worse then others. Today I am 8DP5DT and I am cramping a lot, to the point I think AF is coming.

I tested yesterday afternoon with an EPT test; thinking that those are not as strong as the FRER. I did another one about 1 hour ago; and today's is definitely lighter then yesterday. Here I go doubting again...and why it probably wasn't a good idea to test this out.
