Test Dates March 05 +

Hi everyone

I have read your posts and plucked up courage to reply! I am due to test on Monday 14th March. This i s by far the hardest part - and I thought I would be able to relax and enjoy it!

I feel terrible in a PMS kind of way - tired, sore boobs, bloated and i burst into tears at the slightest thing!! DH has resorted to laughing at me (the first day or two he was concerned). I am guessing that all this is due to patches and progesterone. I can only hope it is pregnancy related. Anyone feel the same?

Lumi, welcome to the board. Well done for getting half way through your 2ww and staying sane

The symptoms you have are so tricky to interpret. Some people feel nothing, others all sorts of twinges and feelings...so hard to tell but yes, lots of it is down to the meds. Mind you, with a FET you'll have had a lot less meds than usual so why knows....could be a very good sign! Debra.

Hello All,
I'm still hangin on in their trying to keep up the PMA, but I'm bored.

Hello Lumi - sounds as if you are finding the 2ww as hard as me. I'm testing on 16th so we're at about the same stage. Keep up the PMA - I'm sure it helps.

It's just a shame that daytime TV is so dull - and full of baby stories jus to rub the salt in. I know I shouldn't watch them but I can't help it. I just watch and hope that it will be me holding a little baby soon.

I haven't got any symptoms of anything right now. In fact I feel better than I have done for ages. Boobs are a little tender, but I remember they were sore last time (and the result was -ive) so I'm putting that down to the drugs.

Keep smiling folks.

Love
Debbie

It's great to 'talk' to someone!

A friend had (successful) IVF 10 years ago and after transfer used patches and progest. suppos. for 3 days. Am I right assuming that everyone now uses them during 2ww and up tp 11 weeks of preg. as I have to?

Raji,
So sorry about your -ve this time.

Still no news from Danica? Does anyone know anything? I hope she's just so busy celebrating that she hasn't had time to share her news with us.

My heartfelt thoughts & love to all those with -ives. I do know what its like.

Lumi

Good luck withe 2ww. Its an awful time - you analyse every twinge, feeling etc.

I'm on patches & pessaries & if it is successful have to double the amounts & keep using them for 70 days from ET.

The last two times I've had a very heightened sense of smell which means if anyone has been smoking or drinking I cam smell it a mile off. Also this time, I've been feeling nauseous & had a few AF type cramp pains. It is hard not to get too excited as I know it is all caused by the meds.

hi all.
thanks to every one of you who has been thoughtful and taken time out to commiserate with the negative result. on the whole i have felt ok. dont take the result easily but being prepared for it helped me. i have even had a really good couple of nights out since which may sem extraordinary but it was with family who are being just great.

only real wobble was yesterday when i was in Peter Jones and found myself passing the baby department. it was full of fat tummied women looking at buggies and i was so envious and sad.

today we go for our follow-up and i am keen to get some info on the various parts of the treatment to see if anything has been picked up. was it bad luck or did i have high proportion of poor embryos? i am keen to know and then to look forward... i hope to be able to have a start date for next IVF cycle later...

i am following everyone else's progress and hope those on the 2ww are just about hanging in there. i am away next week so will be dying to know the results when i get back. i guess both danica and Suz are dealing with their feelings about the results (whether neg or pos) and hopefully we will hear from them soon.

i think Jude is next in line for a test, so special positive thoughts are winging your way.

love to all..

Sorry Girls - a BFN for me

Not taking it well. It doesn't help that my boobs are still really sore and I'm really bloated, which is different from my last FET.

DH trying to keep strong. Doc has suggested a few more days off. Boss is great fortunately.

Hospital are discussing our case to see if we can proceed (I'm 40 in 19 days!)

Feel hopeless - sorry.

Suz

Am so sorry to hear your news, don't think anything can prepare you for a -ve result, I had a -ve in February and still have days now where I find it hard to believe and unfair.

Just take one day at a time, and fingers crossed hospital can help you in the future.

Take care

Suz you have been through so much and have been so brave, my heart bleeds for you.

Jude - keeping fingers x'd and thumbs pushed (that's what Germans do!).

I am so sorry for all the BFN's in this thread, I know how it feels. But you are all brave to keep trying, I waited so long I now have to use DE's.

I feel guilty because i find baby depts terrible, but I have to try and face them so that I can send things to my nephew (8 months)..I burst into tears last night while I was burning a CD of fotos from my UK visit for my sister. They took and picture of me in Clarks as I bought Thomas his first shoes...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Love Julie from Germany

Hello All,
Suze - soooo sorry to read about your -ive. I do know how it feels but all you can really do is to take a deep breath and make positive plans for the next try. I know it doesn't help how you feel right now, but I am thinking of you. Take care of yourself and don't forget to pamper yourself.

I guess everyone else is still doing ok. I'm still plodding along - by this time next week I too will know and that will be a relief. Boobs are feeling a little sore but I sometimes get that before af shows up (and I remember having them last time when I had a -ive result). Other than that I feel fighting fit - I think because I've now been off work for a few weeks, first with an infection then the tmt and the 2ww. I am now getting very bored though and it is becoming increasingly difficult to 'take it easy'. Still, must try.

I know what you all mean about baby departments. I avoid them like the plague. I really can't bear to see all of those cute little clothes. Fortunately not many people I know have small children - apart form a close friend who has had similar problems to me and has recently adopted a toddler. She is beautiful, but I still can't buy her pressies as it makes me too upset.

Keeping everything crossed for those still waiting. Lets get some smiley faces on this thread.

Take Care All

Love
Debbie

Suz, so sorry about the crap result. Don't knock yourself for taking it badly, of course it's a shock and a disappointment and no one has any answers.
