HI I'M NEW BUT NOT TO IVF

[MRS A]

HELLO ALL, I,M 5 DAYS INTO A 2WW OF FET MY 3RD ATTEMPT FOR A SIBLING FOR MY DAUGHTER AFTER SUCCESSFUL ICSI (2ND ATTEMPT).
YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD BE USED TO THIS BY NOW BUT IT JUST GETS HARDER TO DEAL WITH. GETTING CRAMP PAINS AND GOT A BAD COLD IT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD! NEVER SPOKE TO ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN THRU THIS BEFORE, I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WEBSITE BEFORE!![/code][/b]

Welcome Mrs A,

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter - it is always uplifting to hear about success stories. You must be a very strong person to have experienced your previous treatments without a forum like this.

You will find this site a lifeline; a great place to share your thoughts and experiences, have a giggle and also shed tears. You can be as open and frank as you wish and ask almost anything. I'm sure you'll also have heaps to contribute from your previous experiences.

Poor you - a cold on top of all the other symptoms - you need that big armchair from the old Lemsip advert and a cyber hug.

Pop over to the general forum and post on the 2WW thread - the girls on there are currently at the same stage as you and you'll get great support there.

All the best, take care over the next 9 months and plenty of PMA

Bye for now,

Maci x

Welcome - it's a good time to have found us, the 2ww is never easy.

It's great to hear of your success story, it news like that that gives us all the strength to continue on the nightmare road that is IVF. Thank you

Unfortunately everybody experiences different signs during the 2ww so it is never easy to say if it is a good thing or not. Having said that, believe in yourself and think positive.

Loads of PMA and Baby Dust to you.

Keep us informed and good luck with the next week.

I have asked Debra to add you to the list of people on the 2ww.

Gosh there seem to be so many new people going through the 2ww.
Good luck, and do think positively. Here's sending you loads of PMA PMA PMA PMA as I know that it is so hard when our emotions are all over the place and we are just so scared that it wont work. BUT IT WILL !!!!!!

Do use the General Forum and join the other 2ww.
Good Luck

Hi, we're in very similar situations I'm on Day 6/7 or so (doing my best not to overly focus on the 2ww) and am also hoping for a sibling for my nearly 2yr old (IVF) daughter!

I test next Wed and get the result on Thursday (longest 24hrs in the world). Like LittleP said, if you'd like to join some of the other threads and join in chatting, the April 2ww would be a good one. Plus confirm your test date and I'll add you to that thread too.

We do understand. Look at my signature!
Debra.

Hi there Mrs A ... Just to say well done on finding us. Cramps on day 5 is perfectly normal, but unfortunately doesn't mean either -ve or +ve. Poor you - a cold on top of this .... Fresh lemon juice, hot water and honey might ease your symptoms a little ..

Lots of PMA and +ve thoughts !!

hi there Mrs a

i cannot imagine anyone going through this alone so i'm kinda looking up to you right now! been here for two weeks, haven't gone through any tmt (hopefully, yet!) and don't know how i'd be if it hadn't been for these girls... Uau!

so i guess i'll just say whatever you need, just say it, i'll do it! i'm really wishing you all the possible luck and thinking about the good news you'll have for us in two weeks time!!

Take good care!

Hello Mrs A,

I am also new to this board,but not on the tww. Loads of luck and just think.... the cold can give you an excuse to put your feet up, eat loads and rest! I know how you feel about not wanting to get your hopes up, if you don't, you won't be disappointed..... thing is, you will still be disappointed if you had your hopes up or not! Take this time to get excited about the fact you might be pregnant..... you never know?? I know it gave me some happiness once.....

[MRS A]

Hello all

Thank you for your lovely replies and positive thoughts, its great to finally be intouch with people who understand, it's a if i know you all!!

I know i'm very lucky to have a 3yr old daughter (icsi) and i hope those who are still trying take encouragment from that, but i know the possibilites now so it just as frustrating trying for another child.

I had 2 embyos transferred and I test friday 22 April.. I'vestill got cold its just not shifting, trired and eating alot, it's just all mind games.

I'll add to the thread on the forum for 2ww
