2wwing. Anyone else?

[sharishu]

Well, here I am in my 2ww. One week down, one to go. The last time I began a 2ww thread, it ended in my ds being born! So here goes !

How are all you 2wwers doing? I am surprisingly more relaxed than last time, although I'm beginning to feel nerves as 'test time' approaches. I had one embie transferred this time. No major cramps so far, just little twinges here and there.

Hope you're all relaxed and resting AMAP!!!

Oh one more thing. A tip: I've read that walnuts aid in implantation! Been munching a few in my salad every day, can't hurt!

I will be in my 2ww starting next Monday, so I will be on a different schedule than you. But I wanted to wish you the best! Our FET is scheduled for one week from today.

I am at the end of my 2ww, beta is scheduled for Thursday, July 21st at 8:15. I have been poas since Saturday and have been getting positives since then. We had to move to donor eggs since my eggs are not so good. We transferred 2 8 cell embryos. Trying not to go crazy with all of the questions. I am nervous but trying to remain positive.

Good Luck to you...

Dogzrule-
Hi, I remember you, how are you? Good luck on your FET, and thanks for popping in to wish me luck

Mom-
Wowwwwww! Sounds like you have reason to celebrate! Giving you a cautious-yet-excited "Woohoooooooo!" Sounds great:)))

[dogzrule]

Doing great! I remember you too. I must say, an FET is soooooooo much easier, but the dreaded 2ww will be the same booooooo.

Hey all-
My beta is on Sun. morning. Yeeshk! This 2ww I was so much calmer than last time. My plan is to do an hpt right before going for my beta. Will update on Sun.

Alas, this 2ww turned into a BFN . I'll be ok, I am a pretty strong girl. DH and I are just not stopping until we are holding that little babe (babies) in our arms. For today, however, I am feeling sad and low energy.

Hope everyone has their bfp's soon, and that we will all soon be celebrating.

G-d bless

Shari,
Sorry to hear about your BFN....it was a BFN for me as well. I too don't have any energy and was disappointed. My son ended up sick the day after my beta and made me forget about it though! I was happy that it wasn't a chemical or anything like that. We too won't give up
Take care of you and lets cycle together soon

[margi26]

Shari and Hoping: So sorry for your BFN's. They are never easy. ((HUGS)) But I am so glad to see you both have plans to move forward...that always helped me get through a BFN. Hang in there!!!!

[sharishu]

Hoping- here's 'hoping' we celebrate together real soon, and get other this sucky feeling soon too :p.

Margi- thanks

Hi ladies,

Question
I am in the process of my first IVF, I have my ER tomorrow. Just wondering do's/ don'ts during the 2ww. I haven't asked my doc yet but, I'm wondering about traveling and how soon after IVF I can fly... also curious about foods- what to eat/ not eat.. swimming??

Your help is really appreciated,
Thanks!

[sharishu]

Firstly, all the best, hope it works! I'd say do try relaxing, don't overdo it. I've read that flying is best after first trimester is done, just because it's a delicate stage of pregnancy and best to be close to your doctor. I read walnuts aid in implantation, and also pineapples, esp. the core. Acupuncture is also helpful esp b4 and after ET.

Good luck!

Shari!!!! My dear old cycle buddy!!! Tell me it isn't true!!! I just got back on the boards again as I just started a frozen cycle....we have one embryo remaining from when we had Noah! He will be 3 next month. Time flies, huh??? This is our last shot as I will be 41 in Nov.

I am sooooooo sorry to hear your news. I miss you guys. This stuff just is not fun, is it? Uggghhhhhh. I miss you guys. I am sorry for your BFN.

Tinaaaa Ooooooo!!
I was hoping I'd see u on here at some point! Man, u are a breath of fresh air. I can sure use some Tina humor during this whole 'fun and exciting' IVF process! How is Noa? Eliya will be three Aug. 9, and he has become a curly-haired mischief maker with a smile and shining eyes to match . I look at him jumping and playing, and I marvel at the miracle that he is. Please G-d, just one more miracle!! (for me and Tina! )

Hope all is well with u. When will u be starting? I'll be starting a fresh cycle right away (as soon as the doc gives me the go ahead). I have AF already, so if we could start immediately, I'd prefer it. We meet with our RE Sunday to discuss.

All the best Tina. I want to see pics!
