Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[CMo]

Morning ladies

Mo all sounding very positive for next cycle!

Star that's the same gel I'm using and I'm having the same problems trying to make sure it's all out the tube! Bloody fiddly things!!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Morning all! Sorry to be so crappy atm, work is so busy I can't really post cxx

 

[star25]

morning to you too ladies, hope your day gets better aurora xx

cmo, a couple of times theres a bit left in the tube like a tiny bit that I still try and squeeze out but by the then the end wont really squeeze, im sure were fine though xx

 

[Bumpsparkle]

I worry the same with the crinone. I squeeze the end for the initial "squirt" (yuck) then remove it a little and squeeze again further down the tube. There's sometimes a little left but not easy to get it out of the tube once the initial squeeze is done (gross gross gross!)

Woken up with really bad backache today but that may be coz our mattress needs turning. Job for dh later!

Mo - positive news and great that you have a plan!

First - good luck for transfer today!

 

[star25]

I had a back ache too early hours and a little bit now, probably from all the sitting around ive been doing! x

 

[lizzie78]

CMo, Star, bump that gel sounds horrible! Backache can be a good sign though as it's related to your uterus. I had backache a lot in my tww - FX'd!

[star25]

ooh that's interesting lizzie , I just want to feel something to keep my positivity up and feeling good about it today xx

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Thanks lizzie! x

 

[MoBaby]

Star there will be a small amount of the crinone left behind. They've recently changed the applicator. It was like a puff on the bottom of a stick a d now it's like a tampon applicator- two pieces you snap together to shoot the gel up there. The new applicator is so much easier.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Agree with Lizzie! Backache = good sign. I remember my BBs felt so sore the first few days after transfer but I think it was because my body was adjusting to PIO. About a week later, it was still sore but not too painful.

Sorry for the lack of individual reply ladies. This thread is moving a bit fast this week.

First, good luck today

Mo, so happy to see you back and glad that you have an awesome plan in place!

waiting to see pee sticks

Hi everyone else :wave:.

 

[amoreamy]

Mmm that crinone sounds lovely ha! Although it hasn't all been plain sailing with the pessaries so I'm in no place to talk!!

Mo - It sounds like you have a great plan in place, lots of positivity which is awesome news

First - good luck for your transfer today!

Lizzie, I'm all over tww wait symptoms! Was yours specifically lower back pain?

Aurora - don't worry, sometimes they aren't enough hours in the day. You need to put yourself first right now

Sorry, I feel like I'm doing a really bad job catching up with everyone at the moment, but I do follow everyone! I love hearing what everyone is up to!

I had a temp dip this morning at 5dp2dt, so equivalent of 7dpo. I'm hoping it's an implantation dip, not that my normal temps have been anything to write home about. I'm hoping they'll go back up tomorrow! Eek!

 

[star25]

Thank you for the info mobaby, tablets would be so much easier xx

Hi, Ilt, you're right this thread is moving a bit quicker now, all the action happening at once lol, hope you're doing well xx

First, hope transfer has gone well today xx

 

[star25]

ooh amore were both 7dpo today, hope the temp dip was implantation dip, have you got any other symptoms?
The only other thing I had today was my dogs tuna smelt gross this morning and worse than usual and I've normally got a bad sense of smell and a cold, I know its too early and I'm just symptom spotting but it gives me something to do!

 

[lizzie78]

oh gosh its so nice to see you all symptom spotting!!

So to answer Amy I think, i had lower back stiffness in the days after ET (remember i was a 3dt not a 5 dt) and then it developed into lower back cramp/achyness which panicked me as thats always a sign of AF for me. I actually think it was a sign that my uterus was trying to do its thing. I had stomach cramps that I could feel sort of rippling across my tummy on the morning of the equivalent to 8dpo adn then not much other than general crampiness for a few days. Started to feel sort of seasick, dizzy at around 10dpo which ahsnt left me and had 3 very sharp stomach cramps on the evening of 12 dpo. All that said, it was easeir for me to notice because i didnt have EC this time. If I hadnt been a FET i would have put a lot of that down to the EC. I also had a dreadful migraine one day around 8 dpo i think. Have one today too so hoping that my bean is ok because thats something else that can be a sign of AF for me. Hoping its just the hormones surging instead.

So hard but keep your chins up ladies xxx

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Thanks Lizzie, appreciate you sharing your symptoms. I'm definitely feeling some cramping and backache and you're right, I previously would have put that down to ec but as this is a FET I'm wondering if it's more! x

 

[star25]

Thank you lizzie that really helps, mines a fet too and I haven't really had much symptoms from the progesterone so I'm more likely to think anything I feel is a good sign, just got a couple of seconds twinges in my groin again and back still a bit achy, please let them be good signs! Xx

 

[MoBaby]

lizzie have you tested again since your OTD? Headaches are common pregnancy symptoms

Star keeping fingers crossed for you!

 

[amoreamy]

Ooh star, I didn't realise! Yes we can! Thanks Lizzie, it's really handy hearing yours. I remember (back in the day ha) on ttc boards ladies would get their bfps and graduate to the first trimester and not look back, so you didn't always get to hear the success story symptoms!

My main things have been salty food cravings, I'm completely put off by a lot of my normal foods. The smell thing definitely. Things like my face wipes I ue just smell so strong to me all of a sudden. Yesterday and today I have had vertigo style dizziness, the kind that if you don't sit down you're going to fall over, and the implantation dip.
Other than that, the cramping and tiredness I'm just putting down to recovery.

Fingers crossed for you bump!

 

[star25]

They sound like promising signs amore, fingers crossed for everyone xx

 

[lizzie78]

Thanks mo that's reassuring to hear as no I'm trying to stay away from tests as they scare me now lol xxxx
