[Disturbia]

Hi Boumboum, good luck and hope this one stick.I know embies are sooo tiny but never know it can be disappeared. Anyway, finger crossed bfp for you.

 

[Flannelsheets]

Yea, wtf??! A disappeared embryo??! Way to build the confidence, stupid lab people!

Welcome to the tww, boum! I hope you find some ways to keep mentally busy so you don't go crazy like the rest of us... Will you do a hpt?

 

[River54]

Soo going crazy here now...anyone testing this week?

 

[islandnyc]

Hello everyone. Lurking today. Just wanted to share that I've gotten two positive tests, one yesterday and one today so my 3 day transfer might have actually worked. I'm not going to start cartwheeling yet though my Beta is not until Friday. I am cautiously optimistic. I hope that everyone gets their BFP's soon.

 

[lanet]

Oh my goodness island!! I'm so excited for you! What day are you?
Flannel are you still testing tomorrow? River when are you testing?
How is everyone else?
My lining check today went well, waiting for bloodwork but my lining is already an 8 so I'm excited. That's after only 2 estrogen injections. I start progesterone Sunday and transfer Friday the 27th. I cannot wait to finally be in the 2ww!

lanet- My first positive (I test every morning) came at 9dp3dt today I am 10dp3dt. I was so down and depressed on Sat. So sure the cycle had failed, trying to talk myself into being okay with it and assuring myself that we have another shot with our two frozen. Then on Sunday morning at like 3am I couldn't sleep so I went and tested again and it popped right up. I cried a little then told my best friend who was in the next room. (Hubby works nights) I tested again this AM before work and same thing happened. I have been here before though. I had a Chemical and miscarried at 6 weeks before so it is taking every cell in my body not to scream it from the rooftops. Friday's beta will hopefully be so high I won't know what to do with myself

Your body is responding really well to the estrogen injections. Next Friday is looking great for you. sending you all the positive vibes in the world

 

[lanet]

Thanks island. I bet it is scary after the chemical. Was it from ivf or? I'm hoping you have a high beta! I can't remember did you transfer 1 or 2?
I haven't seen a positive since my dd 11 years ago so I don't know how I'll react to a positve test. I will try to keep it quiet but it will be hard!

 

[Flannelsheets]

Wow -- I'm away for 24 hrs, and so much happens! Congrats, island! I mean, I know things are still precarious, but this is an excellent step in the right direction! It's OK to feel cautiously optimistic!

I haven't tested yet. I'm 7dp5dt. I peed into a cup and everything this morning, and then had 2nd thoughts. Figured that either way it turned out I wouldn't be able to concentrate for the rest of the day. I dumped it back in the toilet. (Ah, the things we go through in the bathroom...!) I think I'll wait to test until Th. or Fri., when we have all-day plans w/friends/family. It will be easier for me to deal with the results on a day like that rather than spending all day in my head on my own.

Still having hope here, though -- strange cramps and twinges. Boy I'll feel like an idiot if that's all due to progesterone, though...

Excellent lining, lanet! It's been a long time coming, I know!

You still going crazy, River? I'm right there with you...

 

[lanet]

Wow you have some willpower flannel!!!
I hope I can do the same. I will be 7dp5dt on the 4th of July (idk if you are in USA) so I thought about testing then but I don't want to risk being bummed out during our celebration with our family that evening. But I don't think I could wait much longer.
I'm ready for you to test!!

 

[Disturbia]

congrats island! I know it's still early but wish you a happy&healthy 9 months.

 

[jsquared]

Island, this is very promising!! I understand being cautious, but Friday will be here before you know it and something tells me it is going to be a GREAT day.

You other ladies in the TWW, my heart goes out to you! I tell myself I won't test until beta, but that is so much easier said than done. I have such good feelings about everyone on this thread, though! Wishing everyone the best and waiting on pins to see those beautiful BFPs.

Lanet, yay for your lining! It won't be long now.

I heard from the nurse this morning...out of my 17 that fertilized, 11 have made it freeze! I am stunned. We still have the PGS results to wait for, but with 11 in the tank, I'm feeling pretty good. I had prepared myself for 1 or 2 to make it to freeze, telling myself and my partner that it only takes one to make a baby. Needless to say I am feeling so grateful right now.

 

[lanet]

J that is an amazing number! And they're all blasts? You have a great number to work with for pgs, when will you get those results? Are you feeling better now?

 

[jsquared]

Lanet, I think they're all 6-day. Yesterday was day 5, and I got the call this morning. I just emailed the nurse back to find out when the PGS results will come back, but I think they said around 10 days, so probably right around when I'll be expecting AF to show. At some point the nurse mentioned if I start my period before the results are back, they may put me back on birth control for a short time. Hope we don't have to do that.

I am finally starting to feel better, yes! The whole weekend was awful, and I still feel sore and can only sit/lie in certain positions without hurting, but the bloat is dissipating thank goodness.

 

[lanet]

That's great! I can't wait to hear the results and I hope they get here before af does!

 

[River54]

Congrats Island!! Seeing a positive is a great step!

j - awesome numbers!

lanet - yay on lining

Flannel - I hear you about almost testing then not...I'd probably do the same thing.

I keep thinking that I can't test yet, because I'll just see the trigger. Then, testing on Friday would be great, but if neg, I don't want to spoil dd grad dinner...So, then maybe Sat or Sun...but OH and dd are out of town, and I'd be alone...maybe test on Monday, but that is day before beta, and it seems too long to wait...or maybe this Thursday, but would I see anything then at 7dp5dt? what if that was too early?

 

[islandnyc]

jsquared that is amazing. I don't think there could have been a better outcome. 11 is a beautiful number. I just started spotting. I'm not going to lose my cool. I will keep in mind that many woman spot after a positive hpt. Please Friday come soon, please stop SPOTTING

 

[lanet]

River 7dp5dt would be like 12dpo, so I don't think that would be too early, but then if negative it could be just too early! Lol
I'll be really tempted bc there is no trigger for me..
Island yes sooooo many women on her spot with ivf bfp and it's totally fine but tea for you I wish for Friday to get here so you can get some confirmation/peace of mind. What form of progesterone are you on?

 

[Flannelsheets]

Yes, island -- lots of women spot! At this point just try to make it to your beta, and then you'll have some answers.

I've got a terrible migraine today (wahoo! tylenol does nothing!), as often happens before my period.... ?

 

[lanet]

Flannel that can be hormone related in either direction! Just hang in there.
Do you remember your e2 at all? Mine is 200 today but i have no idea if that's good or bad.

 

[islandnyc]

lanet- im injecting it at 6 everynight. Is that what you mean? Injectible or suppository? Thank you!

Flannel- thank you and Im sorry about your headache i would attribute that to the meds. They play the most horrible tricks on us.

The spotting has stopped. I came home from work at 2pm and fell asleep and just woke up at 8:30pm. I needed that lol
