[NickiMark]

Lp I am happy things are going for ya...How did the injections go 2nite?
I am with you all the way dear. You're a star, x x

[Alison]

Thanks Nicki, that's really kind of you. I hope you have a really good holiday - you deserve it.

Little P - great news that you've started on the injections. You keep drinking the milk and water!

How are the other 2wwers today? I realised during my standard being awake at 2am that I had forgotten to take an injection that I was supposed to take on Tuesday. Phoned the clinic this morning to see if it was too late. I can't believe I can be such a bimbo! Other than that I'm doing basically OK, if a little on edge.

Speak soon,

Alison x

HI there, I too am new to this site.
I am just in the middle of the 2 week wait, after having a tense time in Egg Collection (24 May) and Embryo Transfer(26 May). (Long Story....but from 8 large follicles, we only got one egg (grade 3) and I was a bit worried it would not survive or fertilise, and leave us with nothing for our first try at IVF. ) I had also filled in my forms to say I wanted to donate if I managed a successful pregnancy, some of the remainder of my eggs, so that actually upset and depressed me more, to think I could not help anyone else that couldn't make their own eggs! The nurse told me not to worry, and its their priority to make me pregnant first, so to put myself first.

Anyway, the nurse rang me the next morning and it had survived AND fertilised!! Shocked me. So, I had my Embryo Transferred on 26 May, and have to do a Test next Thursday (9th June) which is 2 days before my birthday, so I am really hoping for a Birthday present to remember! We have been trying for 6 years, I was diagnosed with PCOS with severe hormonal imbalance, and did totally by fluke manage to get pregnant last June, but miscarried early in the July.

Anyway, am hoping this little one likes it in there, and wants to stay. I guess thats all any of us can hope for at this time.

I have had odd niggles in my tummy, and yesterday and today had a very slight bleed, but it stopped quickly and it wasnt much at all. I am just hoping it was implantation bleed, and that the little thing is firmly embedded and stays!

Ive had a few odd symptoms, but nothing much, and am putting some down to the Progesterone Pessaries - especially the sore boobs...MAN!!!

Wishing everyone on the 2ww the best, and sincerely hoping we get some good results.

HI,

Im on my 8th day of my 2ww. I started getting cramps yesterday and thought it might be embedding but i woke up today and the cramps and drawing pains are still there. Anyone got any advice togive? drepressed and didn't realsie the wait would be so hard.

scooby

[NickiMark]

Scooby above everything else, my advice is stay +ive. Dont read into each twinge. I did that and it sent me insane. I had cramps at day 8 also and was convinced it was inplantation.
Just try to relax and take ur mind off it.
My advice is to not focus on ever little twinge/pain u have.

[Alison]

Hi Scooby, as Nicki has said,try not to worry - it could well be a good sign. As someone who has spent more time in the last week in front of a mirror trying to decide whether or not my boobs look different I do realise though that the advice not to over-analyse is pretty much impossible advice to follow!

Shara - welcome to the mad-house, and good luck to you and your little embie.

I'm feeling ok today. Its my "last day of the holidays" as I'm back to work on Monday (which is also test day - the test was originally supposed to be Sunday). Now that its nearly over (just the wait, hopefully!), I feel that I've quite enjoyed it, although am shocked at how little I've done. I haven' even finished one of the three novels I bought myself to see me through the wait!

In the past I've always had bleeding before the test date. Its sometimes started by now, and I think if I make it til tomorrow with no bleeding then that will be the longest I've been with no bleeding, so am keeping my fingers crossed.

Love and luck to us all

Alison xx

[LittleP]

Alison - things are certainly looking good for you - stay positive.

Scooby - as the others have said, try not to over-analyse everything. Just try to stay relaxed and positive. There's no easy way to get through the 2ww and there's no list of definitive signs to look out for, but just believe that it has worked.

I hope that all of you are doing ok.

Love and kisses

Hi there big J - good to hear from you. I must admit I've been sneaking across to the "other side" and following you on the 1st trimester thread. I do hope your scan goes well next week and you finally get to see your little one (or more than one!)

Today seems to be going particularly slowly, and I'm having to force myself not to knicker check more than once an hour! I've been invited out for pizza by friends this evening who don't know about the tmt and am very much in two minds about whether to go. It would be good to take my mind off things for a while. On the other hand, I really don't want to be out if AF shows up. Also, and this is really ridiculous, I do remember on another cycle I met these same friends for lunch one saturday and that was the day that AF arrived. I'm normally sane and rational I promise, but this stuff does get you a bit superstitious.

Anyway, I'm waffling - that's the downside of not doing much all day, nothing much to share - so I'll leave you to it and wish everyone all the best. Love

Alison xx

Me again - suffering from terrible insomina this time around - its 4.30am here in the uk, and i've been awake for the past hour or so. This has happened the last few nights; I go to sleep ok, and then wake up about 3.30 and my mind just churns round and round so i can't get back to sleep. Could the fact i haven't started bleeding yet really mean i'm finally PG? Or is it just a more efficient combination of drugs that means the lining has stayed put? Will AF arrive before test day? Or could I make it all the way to test day and still test negative. GRRR! Its driving me mad and I can't switch it off!

Anyway, you know how it is - but hopefully are at least managing to sleep! Shara, scooby, (the other!) Alison and any other 2wwers, hope you're doing ok. Right, will now go back to bed and see whether having got that off my chest I can go back to sleep!

Hi ladies. Just popping in to wish you all a great weekend. Sorry you are having problems sleeping Alison....I went a bought a huge biography of a former Australian Prime Minister, Paul Keating. This helps put me to sleep regardless of the circumstances! Highly recommended as a really boring read. Failing that, warm, milky drinks also help along with a foot massage from DH.

Please take care of yourselves. I am sending tonnes of PMA for the remainder of your waits.
