Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[Jaybo]

Thanks girls,

Sorry about your cat comfy, so sad. I'm so attached to my mog I can't bare the thought of her getting sick. Hugs

CMo - I've heard that about pineapple, but no idea if there's any truth in it. I'd be interested in what people think too.

Lots of relaxing going here, with DH waiting on me - I could get used to this!! I hadn't really given much thought about testing early. I'm not much of a POSA, but really not sure I'll hold out till the 14th! I may just wait and see when I snap!

Mo, 19 is a great number but hopefully you'll get more.

Comfy, sorry bout the kitty. It's hard to loose a pet. Enjoy your time with the kitty.

Libby , there is no guidelines to test . But if you want to test early, 4 days after 5 day transfer is when the blasties started to implant. I started testing at 4dp5dt. But I'm crazy .

Jaybo, FX!

Yay Jaybo!!! Yay Jaybo!!! Yay Jaybo!!!

POAS thoughts: I tend to test every day for a fresh cycle. That way, I know when the trigger has faded and then know where I stand. I'd rather know sooner than later if it's not going to work. But we each have our own way of coping with the roller coaster that is infertility.

It's true we all cope with testing in different ways, I just cant wait to have a 2ww where theres a real possibility I could actually be pregnant and I want to enjoy it as long as possible, I am considering keeping my testing day a secret though as dont want people waiting for an answer if I'm
Not ready to give it if that makes sense!

Understandable, Star. I may tell my family it's a day later than it actually is.

I didn't tell anyone in real life about my testing days . Even DH didn't really know until I saw a fainy line. We told my mother in law on the OTD a few hours after the result. I did tell my sister as soon as I saw a positive line since she is also my BFF . And ladies on BnB of course . I think I was more confident to test when I kept cramping. Cramping is not a monthly occurrence for me. I'd probably experienced very mild AF cramps once a year. maybe...so for me that was my big sign

 

[star25]

Thats a good idea about telling them a later day beneath as my ivf isnt really a secret so there will be a lot of people asking when it is!

 

[FirstTry]

I've told the people who know about my FET that it will be in about two months, even though I know it will be in about 5 weeks. That way, by the time they remember to wonder, I'll already have a good idea where we stand.

I haven't told many people about our ivf, and only a very few know when it will be. I am a bit worried about having to tell them all if it doesn't work, but telling them testing day is a while after it really is, is a good idea. I'm hoping my otd will be near the end of the week so I won't be at work and have time to digest the news, rather than a Monday! Then again, I've got a lot of hurdles to get over before we even get as far as putting embryos back in so will wait and see.

Has everyone had a nice weekend? We have had a chilled one. Got loads of ironing and cleaning to do tonight as have viewings on our house tomorrow (it's for sale) and then cooking a roast, fertility yoga DVD and bed!! And I'm pretty sure I've ovulated this month and my lp is only 11-12 days so won't be long till I start!! Hurrah!!!

 

[star25]

Hi Mrs w, yesterday I worked and just a bit of housework after, this am I woke with a sore throat and feeling pretty rough, have walked the dog so just going to have a nice bath amd do nothing the rest of the day! Hope everyones having a more interesting weekend xx

 

[star25]

Mrs w, when do you think af will arrive? Are you doing short protocol?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

I only told 4 people. Even my parents don't know lol. I found 4 people who I trust could give me support that I need if things didn't work out. Until today I haven't told my mom that I'm pregnant lol. I'm so horrible.

Mrs W, our house went on the market on friday night. Last night, we found out that one of our neighbors' parents have been looking at a house in our area and they and very interested. So hopefully we can sell our house fast.

nothing exciting goingon except that I braved myself to make a pregnancy ticker. I'm giving myself a positive vibe that things will work out. Today I'm pregnant and I'm going to enjoy every second of the nausea I have . And that's that .

 

[star25]

Ilt, sounds promising on the house sale love the ticker, enjoy every minute xx

 

[star25]

Comfy how is your cat today? So sorry to hear he was poorly, bet hes getting all the love needed though xx

 

[Jaybo]

That's a good idea no telling anyone your actual OTD, I hadn't really thought if that. Although the only people that know we're doing IVF are my parents, so I did tell my mum our test date. I haven't told any friends. A couple of close friends knew we were struggling with TTC, but I found they just said typically annoying things like 'just relax' or 'maybe it just wasn't meant to be' (and worse, lol) which drove me crazy so I just stopped sharing anything with them!!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday. I was just wondering how much did you/are you planning to restrict your activity after ET? I was thinking of going out this evening for a friends birthday, just locally for something to eat, but now I'm starting to wonder if I should stay in and take it easy! I feel fine just don't want to do anything to harm our chances.

 

[Jaybo]

Great news on the house ILT, hope it sells quickly and good luck with the viewings tomorrow Mrs W.

Comfy I hope your cat is doing ok too.

With all these AF's on their way, ER and ET next week it's going to get even busier and exciting on this thread!!

 

[Comfycushions]

Thanks for the well wishes about the cat. She is still determinedly clinging on to life. Was first in line for breakfast and sat on sofa with us this morning watching the tennis! Dh slept downstairs with her last night. Sure she liked that-she's not normally trusted to stay in living room at night! It‘s very sad.

Cmo, I have heard of the pineapple thing but never tried it as allergic.

Don't know what I'll do about testing if we get to transfer. I'd like to think I'll wait as I know bfn's will upset me but previous tww experience suggests I'll weaken.

Good luck with the house selling. We moved last year. Hope it all goes smoothly.

Feeling bit gritty today. Don't know if that's down to the meds.

 

[MoBaby]

Comfy hope your cat is doing okay!

I triggered last night and then I have ER at 10 am tomorrow! So I'll update as soon as I can. Keeping my fingers crossed for a bunch of eggies that are mature

 

[FirstTry]

ILT: nausea this early is an awesome sign! I think this is your miracle! (I apologize if I'm being too enthusiastic.)

 

[Jaybo]

Yay for the trigger Mo. Good luck tomorrow, keeping everything crossed for you too.
