IVF (w/ICSI) in Sept/Oct 2012

[alicatt]

FYI.. paracetamol = tylenol and is the only 'safe' pain medication during pregnancy.

I hope you feel better soon and your trip back to the US is uneventful!

thanks. all I have with me are low dose bayer aspirin. Would those be ok, and do you think they would even help with pain since it is low dose?

My FS had me taking the aspirin to help with implantation, so it probably won't hurt!

hello ladies...

hope everyone is doing well!

any of you ladies who got your bfp feeling any symptoms? you know me.. not only am i a poas addict but i also symptom spot like crazy! i'm probably a little over 4 weeks.. and dont' have many symptoms.. i'm beginning to worry as my last pregnancy ended in a MC the only symptoms i have are fatigue, headaches here and there, slightly sore boobs, cramping and once in awhile a slightly upset stomach. when does MS kick in? i never thought i'd welcome MS! LOL..

I go for my 6 week scan in two weeks.. hope everything turns out ok!

sending baby dust to everyone! xxo x

AnnetteCali, I can totally relate. I also have very few symptoms and last pregnancy ended in a MM, so I've been stressing as well.

I went for a repeat beta yesterday though and levels were nice and high (7065), so I figure I'm either very luck and won't have any unpleasant symptoms, or they'll kick in later - either way, I'm trying to see it as a blessing! I did quite a few google searches blush and it seems absolutely normal not to have symptoms at this stage - a lot of women wouldn't even know they're pregnant yet. I think all we can do is try to relax and enjoy it, and have faith that everything will work out. Your scan is around the corner, and that should really help put your mind to rest. Mine's not for another 3 weeks and a bit, so trying to just think positive until then.

I tested this morning 8dp3dt and bfn. I am now devastated. It was a stupid bfp dream that made me want to test. I now feel I will never see a bfp and our one and only ivf chance hasn't worked. I am never going to have a baby

Slb, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, but it's really early to give up hope. It wouldn't necessarily show up on the home test at this stage. I did a home test 8dp5dt and got a bnf, but got a bfp on my beta a few days later, so clearly you can't always trust the home tests. You can still be pregnant, so even though I know it's not easy hang in there until the 25th, and don't give up hope

Hey Annette I'm still quite symptom free apart from extreme tiredness and sore and fuller bbs. Not a sniff of MS which I think should kick in around week six where I am now, I would welcome it too just to out my mind at ease but comforting to have seen baby's heartbeat on scan. I'm panicking a bit now as DH wanted to tell his family our news and since he did I feel like something bad will happen because we told them so early

Try and remain positive until your OTD - its still early days. My bloods were taken on 11dp3dt - they struggled to get a blood sample and said if they couldn't get one then I'd have to come back 2 days later (13dp5dt) for a urine sample since 11dp3dt was still too early for a urine sample.

And if its a BFN, we'll help you through it as much as possible to take control and consider the next steps

Thinking of you lots

I'm sorry slb80 but it might be too early. Don't give up just yet. Thinking of you.

I don't have any symptoms, and if I hadn't POAS and seen it for myself I would have thought the clinic had called the wrong person! I don't think I'll believe it until the 6 week scan

I agree, that tests aren't always acurate & that you should never give up hope.

SLB.. having been where you are I know how you are feeling, it is important to keep the faith! It is still early, and you could still very well get your

Thank you. Yesterday was just an awful day and spent most of it in tears. I am trying to stay positive but I do feel Af is just around the corner. Had mild cramping again today and still feeling very weepy. This 2ww is without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever done. X

 

[Saus]

[Saus]
