Daly.......I am so happy for you!!!!!!, that is fantastic!!!!!, did you have a 3 or 5 day transfer????. Try not to worry toooooooooo much, I know it is very hard, if I get a BFP I will start with the everyday worries probably too, but it is also so important to try to enjoy it, so just give it a little try, I know it's hard. Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO LADIES!!! well this 2ww is ......insane!!!! ive got 9days until the 2nd and it seems to be draggin on forever its like the 2nd is never going to get here haha ive done good though i havent even bought an hpt....well not yet at least....but my nurse said to stay away from those and to wait until b/w because she doesnt want me getting my hopes up or getting dissappointed if it says neg when it really is pos so we will see how long i actually hold out for lol....

daly, thanks! my doc thought the same thing, they had orginally retrieved 23, icsi'd 22 of them and 17 divided. by the time we got to transfer day we had 12 good embies all with a grading of 1 so we were pleased. so we have 9 frosties and they transfered 3 8 celled..i dont know how long i can take the wait...

but i do have a question.. im on bed rest for 5 days, but everytime i get up or even when im laying down today i noticed alot of cramping..is that normal im kinda worried i called my nurse but she said to just stay calm cause it could be implantation pains....could it really??? im just scared something is wrong... so i thought i would ask you ladies...well i think thats it for now....

Brandi - My main symptom for both bfp ivf's was cramping 2 days after transfer. I take it to be very good symptom. I had no cramping when I had my bfn's. So, I think you're on a very positive road so far! You only have one week to go! Keeping all fingers crossed for you. I feel very positive for you!

Vicki - Thank you so much for the congrats! My clinic is very happy and moved the bt up to Mon. YEAH! Now I have to see if the level is good and the doubling. My lines have really gotten darker and we moved up to a non-early pee stick today (I was super nervous to pee on it and get a negative), but it was positive too! And it's not supposed to be used until day of missed period which would be Tue! So I know I'm preggo now, just really hoping beyond belief I get to stay preggo! Sending you loads of sticky vibes. I think our babies will be Pisces. I so hope we get to cross-over to the elusive "other side"!!! So are you good or a naughty stick pee'er like me?? Either way, Friday will be here before we know it

Ltaylor - ONly 2 more days. Sending you more sticky dust for your upcoming test. Did you pee again? or are you waiting? I have 2 friends who were neg on the day you tested and ended up with a bfp and a have babies now. Sometimes it's later implantation. Hold on for the bt. Also, sometimes pee is too dilute for a positive.

Big hello to all the other crazy 2ww'rs. We'll be complaing about ms and exploding boobs in no time

Hey Brandi,

I only cramped for 1 1/2 days on both bfp. Then no cramping afterwards. I'm like you though. I want constant affirmation! I went to get bt tody and told my RE I have no symptoms now nad he's is not concerned at all. I had more symptoms last cycle that was bfn. So, try to make sense out of that! I do however have the mildest odd uncomfortable feeling with certain smells. Coffee smells rancid as of yesterday and I've had a head ache since yesterday. But, when I was at your cycle date, I had nothing. I know plenty of moms who never had much early on. I think your cramps are a really good sign. They have been the most reliable sign for me in the past, so I hope it's the same for you! Are you going to pee before you do the bt?

hey does anybody know if its poss to have a bfp on the first try with icsi and assisted hatching?

daly · Post by **daly** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 11:51 pm

It's official! Bhcg 105! My clinic likes it to be 50 for tomorrow, so this is a good level for a day early! I'm really hoping everyone gets their BFPs soon!

Brandi - You have great chances with your first ICSI and assisted hatching. There are alot of women on this board who got a bfp on their first try.

How is everyone doing??

DALY.....

Can i ask did u cramp with this tranfer too?? im sooo happy for u thats great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!//

daly · Post by **daly** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 2:28 am

Thanks Brandi! No cramps at transfer. Did you cramp then? They like to avoid cramping at that time, ( I was on Valium to relax the uterus and prevent cramping) but plenty of people still get a bfp with transfer cramps too. HOw many days after transfer were your cramps? Mine were 2 days later for the full day (not very bad) and then very slight the next day. When I had the cramps was the first time I thought this cycle might actually work. I'm sending you tons of sticky vibes!

I can't wait until you test

daly,
no i didnt cramp at transfer i had valium in my system i cramped the day after for 3 1/2 days, and i feel nothing now. sorry for all the questions dont mean to bug just anxious i guess its driving me crazy congrats again!!

daly · Post by **daly** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 2:43 am

Brandi that sounds REALLY GOOD!! I stopped all cramping as well after those couple days and am just now getting kindof a "full" feeling and tugging sensation in my uterus for the last couple days. Don't worry at all about asking as many questions as you like. That's what the site is for

Where is Lake Elsinore?

carebear110b · Post by **carebear110b** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 3:26 am

daly, thanks so much, um, lake elsinore is right by corona, murrietta area...are u familiar with those areas?...im off bedrest tomorrow so i hope it goes fast, im trying to convince dh to let me get an hpt but not sure even when it would show. its been 4days since my 3day transfer i know thats prob way too early but its just so nerv racking im taking pio every day and estradiol every 3 days along with asprine daily not sure what the asprine is for but its thinning my blood making me bleed alot after injections...but yeah i hope your right i hope to be joining the bfp club very soon! thanks for talking to me i really appreciate it i have found myself very alone going through this and im trying to keep my sanity.

I'm a confirmed pee stick addict. My poor husband used to try to stop me from peeing, but it gave me more anxiety to not pee, then to pee and see a negative. I liked being let down easy and while at home rather then the direct YES/NO on bt day. But, some women hate the stick. I always knew a negative could be false and was OK with that. I've also lost 4 pregnancy's, so I'm well aware that a bfp doesnt' always last forever. So, peeing on a stick works for me and keeps me calm. I think I like the mild element of control it gives me in the process that takes away so much control.

If you're going to pee, the test I use is one for early testing, 5 days before missed period. I think it's "first reponse early results" It says clearly on the package it will have over 50% test positive as early as 5 days before missed period. So that was 8 days after egg retrieval for me. I usually don't get a positive on that first day and get it on 9 days post retrieval. The pee stick has been right for me each time. But, I have friends who dont' test positive until they've missed their period and that could cause anxiety if your pee is not registering the hcg. Usually first morning pee is most reliable. You could theoretically pee tomorrow!!! But, keep in mind it is only a "suggestiion" of what could be. You could be preggo, even if it's false. And be sure to get the early response. The website peeonastick.com is really good for showing the tests with the lowest hcg register. I think you want at least 25 or lower for day 8. I'm soo excited for you! Either way your test day is coming up sooo soon
