Amy

Salut ma chere!! Congratualtions on 2ww!! Ah, pauvre toi, the time drags, non? :bouncing: Whatever will you do to fill the time? What have you been doing so far? I am praying so very very hard for you et Pauline, et all the other ladies that are in their 2ww/1ww. :angel: Cherie, so you need help filling the time? Perhaps we can suggest things to help you, non? I hope you do not overexert yourself, ma chere!! Of course you do not:angel: I am praying for you, ma petite!!
********************BABY DUST********************

I am also in the 2WW. I will know next Wednesday or Thursday if AF arrives or it's a BFP. If AF arrives, we are going to start the IUI adventure which I'm hoping not to have to do since we have to pay out of pocket ($3,000 since we are using injections). We have unexplained infertility which means we could possibly get pregnant on our own, so we tried hard this cycle. Plus, I had an HSG 2 weeks ago, so I'm hoping that cleaned things out :) .

Felicitations, Leslie! I will be praying for as well!! What are you doing to pass the time, cherie? :bouncing: I am certainly praying that this month is your month!:angel:
*******BABY DUST*******

hey princess thanks for your support!! and leslie good luck, i hope you get a BFP so you dont have to go through infertility treatments such as iui and injections!!! anyway, anyone having any really early symptoms?
since yesterday morning ive had period like cramps, but i know this does not mean i am getting my period! :bouncing: and just very tired (i am on progersterone in oil 2x a day, and progesterone capsules 3x a day!) my breasts have been tender since before my egg retrieval.. but thats about it, im 8dpo ovulation today, 5 days post 3 day transfer.

after work tomorrow i have to do a lot of shopping for a bbq im having saturday, so those 2 days should keep me busy, and if the weather is nice me and my bff plan a beach trip sunday. so that will keep me busy until about monday. i am on a computer all day, so i pretty much have a lot of time to sit here and analyze any feeling i have in my body, haha!! so i will just have to pray that the work keeps coming so i dont think about it. i am not taking an HPT! my first 2ivfs i did and it just made me miserable even before beta day. and the 3rd ivf (frozen cycle) i didnt, and i felt much better the whole time. and i learned from that ivf that a positive hpt doesnt really mean anything, when i first heard the nurse say congrats im pregnant and told me my beta was 32 (i was more nervous then i ever imagined i would be after a positive pregnancy test) and as most of you know that positive test didnt last long. i mean if you are gonna take an hpt, and its positive, thats great!! you are prengnant!! but for me, i just think its better to wait. the miscarriage made me much more cautious about getting excited i guess.. <3 aimee

Hey Aimee. I want you to know that I am praying so hard for you. It's weird to say, but I know I'll feel so much better if you and my other friends here get their BFP's. I know this subject has been talked about, but it's so crazy that when I find out other people around me are pregnant I usually get sad, but not when it's my friends here on this board. When it's a fellow boardie, I feel like it's a good thing for me too. So I'm really crossing my fingers for us :) that you get your BFP!

Kari, ma chere, I am so glad to see you back. I am sure that things are not back to normal, and it is not easy... but I really admire you, ma chere, I truly do. :angel: I know that the next couple of days will not be easy, but we are here for you.

As well, aimee et leslie, mon Dieu, I pray for you!!!!! :bouncing: :bouncing: :bouncing: :bouncing: :bouncing: I am very hoping that you get BFPPPPPPP this month!! :blob_fire

*******BABY DUST*******

Sign me in for the 2ww club... I will test July 18...or earlier if I cave in. :) I am already pacing...and it has only been a day. :eek:

Good luck ladies....lets have some BFP's on this board for July!

Laurie

Ah oui, Laurie, I pray for you as well et I hope this is your month, cherie!! When is your husband off of leave? If you feel sad, you can talk about that too... my husband was a soldier as well! :)

**************BABY DUST***********

Aimee

How are you doing? I know you had to kepp yourself busy these 2 days so probably that s helping....really hope that the 2ww will fly right to your BFP.

AMy

im feeling ok. kinda tired! and i have this really weird "annoying" i guess is the only way to explain it-feeling in my pelvis, more on the right side. its not paiful, kinda a numb-tingly like feeling. i feel it more so if my leg is stetched out. it just feels like i cant get "comfortable" but there is no pain at all. has anyone ever experienced anything like this. ive felt it before, but today is the worst. its just annoying. i could be losing my mind, though, haha :bouncing:
how are the rest of you ladies feeling 2day?!?!

Sweetie, this is just to wish you luck, I just started lupron today. Sticky baby dust, looking up to u to start that bfp going.

Lovely

Good luck with testing!! And yes, 2ww thread, a very good diea!! :bouncing: :blob_fire :bouncing:

************BABY DUST************

laurie, leslie, pauline, How r you girls doing??? :blob_fire :blob_fire

Doing ok over here...I've got a bunch of cramping. Not really sure what all that is about. Maybe it's just my imagination- I think I am going crazy. I dug up 4 HPT's from under my sink....I know I will cave...I am weak!

I keep trying to analyze EVERY single twinge, pull and pain.

12 MORE DAYS TO GO!!

How are the rest of my 2ww ladies doing. We HAVE to start the trend of many BFP's on this board.

Laurie

Hello all you 2ww-ers! Aimee, Leslie, Pauline, Laurie, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for happy endings all round on this thread! I hope you are managing to pass the time without driving yourselves totally crazy. Lets hope those strange sensations are good signs. Good luck all of you.
Lizzie

I am praying for you ladies!!
*****BABY DUST******
If I don't come back before I leave work- have a nice weekend!!!

Hi Ladies

Good luck to all of you in your 2ww! I will be joining you in the next week or so, just busy BDing the next few days!!!

I look forward to your updates!

Ruby

Hey ladies, I am not in my 2ww but I wanted to tell you all that I am praying for you and I hope we see tons of BFP's soon on the board. GOOD LUCK and BABY DUST


Stephanie:bouncing: :bouncing: :bouncing:

Go Ruby! Have a fun and productive weekend!
Lizzie

Best Wishes to all of you in your 2ww! Hope all your dreams comes true.

Gina

Ha ha ha, thanks Lizzie! You have a great weekend too!

hey girls, well most of us made it through week 1. i have 5 days to go :) i almost caved and was going to by an hpt, but if it was negative id be devastated the rest of the week. so i figured why not just wait until saturday. atleast then if i get a bfn i can stop my pio shots!! anyway i had a kind of embarrassing qusetion. with ivf they tell you absoultley no intercourse. well dh got carried away last nite, i guess he just wanted to "touch" me, but we were half asleep, and i guess he didnt think it would happen that fast, but bc it has been so long i think i had an "O" it wasnt intentional, and i feel really bad now. im nervous that now i may not get pregnant. im 12dpo, so im pretty sure if my embabies have started implanting etc. but can they come out from that?? i never knew the reason you cant "you know" during the 2ww. they never tell a women who naturally gets pregnant not to have intercourse if she is ttc during the 2ww. sodo you think one time it could be that bad. (we didnt have sex, but like i said i think i O'd) so now im scared. my beta is saturday.. any advice would be great. anyway, how is everyone else holding up?!?!

Aimee

ARe you sure you re not meant to have sex in the 2ww after IVF? I am no expert of course but i thought you can t before the 2ww due to the meds and you can t in the 1st few days after transfer and that s it. I am sure ladies with more experience will be able to answer better.

I think it s agood idea to try to hold on as much as you can before doing an hpt.

Quite a few ladies on their 2ww...hoping and praying for many BFPs.

AMy

hey amy, Im Positive NO intercourse during 2ww. this is my 4th ivf, and the first thing on the instructions sheet it absolutley no intercourse. actually a few days before ivf you are aloud to have intercourse, you are on lupron, so you are not ovulating.. and i heard its good for the guy to clean out his tubes before he gives his sample for retrieval. well i have heard of women having dreams where they have a BIG O!!! during the 2ww after ivf (maybe from teh meds) that happend to me last cycle) so who knows. lol. every dr is differnet ho, some drs dont belive bedrest does anything to help your chances, so who knows. i cant change something that happend, and it wasnt intentional so i cant blame that for me not getting preggo. if god wants me to, i will get my bfp saturday :) I have to stay positive!!!

Aimee

I don t think at 12dpo you could have done anything to prevent this from happening.Don t worry about it.
Do you have a beta planned on sat? How come you have to wait so long? Wouldn t that be 17dpo?

AMy

hey amy, yea im trying not to even think about it anymore!! :) but ivf pregnanices are a little different then getting pregnant naturally, there are more risks etc!! anyway, my re always does beta 2 weeks after transfer!! whether its a 3 or 5 day transfer. thats why i kinda want to test, but if its negative i will want to throw my needles at my dh! lol :) and be mad that i have to take them.. and what if its positive then my betas are low, i will just be so much more disappointed. im just praying that because im being patient god will give me and dh what we desire so much :) and i made it this long, so i will wait until beta saturday a.m. they will prob call me early afternoon,
1-2ish !!

I ll be thinking and praying for you until then. Your patience and perseverence should definitely be rewarded.

We will be here to help you hold on until Sat.

AMy

Honey, no harm done, the embabies will probably know that daddy and mommy are strong and that they are having fun, still laughing here.

Hi aimee, I think you are ok. If you weren't supposed to "O" I think they would tell you that also, I mean they tell us everything else that we can and can't do :) Stay Positive, wow time is flying by only 5 more days until your BFP. Stay relaxed and just think good thoughts this time next week you will be celebrating your BFP :) AimeeM

Hi Aimee, how's the 2ww treating you? I agree w/ the other girls. I doubt the O could've hurt the little embabies. Pregnant women have sex all the time in the first few weeks w/o even realizing they are pg. And you are definitely past the time when implantation should've occurred, so I think all is okay. :angel: Praying you get the best news ever on Saturday. :D

Holly

Cherie, I will be praying for you, especially on Saturday. I hope and pray you will be getting the best news!! :D:D ***healthy nine months!*****

And to everyone else **************BABY DUST**************

hey girls!!! 4 days to go.. im going nuts here, lol. i have to stay away from prescriptions.. hehehhe :) just wanted to check in on every1

Aimee its good to hear from you. I think of you every day and can't wait until Saturday for you. Stay strong. :) AimeeM

Aimee 3 more days......how are you holding up? I am praying so hard for a bfp for you and all the ladies on their 2ww.

Ruby are you in the 2ww?Or still working at it?

Jam.........still don t know why you were banned...hope to have you around soon.

Laurie try to resisit those hpts.

PAuline haven t heard from you for a while.

Leslie....i think you had to test today. Please keep us posted.

Amy

HI Guys

I've been a little quite trying to keep really busy and not think about the wait seeing mine is 20 days. My AF was due on the 9th but haven't received it yet. This could be the Pregnal injection which can delay the AF which is the reason I can't test for so long. Pregnal stays in your blood for 7 days. So awaiting we are. Hope everyone gets the BFP. I am hopefull. This is the first time I have ever been late. Checking every hour. People at work must think I am in love with the toilet.

Good luck girls

Pauline

Hahahaha, "in love with the toilet" that's such a funny thought! :D

I just wanted to wish you luck and ***baby dust*** so you will test next Monday?

****baby dust*****

im super tired today!!! the day is actually going by pretty fast, but i still have all day thurs and friday.. AHHHHHHHHHH!! my beta is at 8am saturday, so i hope i get a call in the early afternoon. part of me is scared to have saturday come, even tho i want it to be here now. i really am trying to think positive, and ive been very positive this whole 2ww.. but i think i will take it that much harder if its negative. i really am gonna need all you girls if i get a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. i guess only time will tell, im doing all i can do, right?!?! this will be me and dh's last IF anything for a WHILE! we just cant take much more, so this would definitly be the "hardest" negative. so it has to be POSITIVE, hehe :D :D :D Anyway, i know i can count on your prayers. thanks ladies :angel: Aimee

Bien sure chèrie, you can count on my prayers!!! I will pray for your BFP and think of you so much!! I know that IF this is not the month, you will take a rest, but I hope you won't give up. :) Encore, I am praying that this IS your month, and I really think it is! I can feel it!!! You are going to make an amazing mother, Amiee, and I can't wait!!

********************BABY DUST******************

Hey Aimee... I'm thinking and praying hard for you every day. I know we aren't supposed to torture ourselves by trying to look for signs and all, but I hope that the fatigue is maybe an indicator of something good to come?!? I know these last couple days are probably going to be the hardest to get thru. The payoff will be worth it on Sat when you get your BFP!!!!

Pauline - I hope it's not the pregnyl that is keeping AF away!!! :)

Aimee and Pauline, I am praying very hard for the both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hang in there girls, you're almost there. :)

Holly

Oh Aimee, stay strong we are all thinking of you. Only 3 more days until you get your BFP :)Sending losts of baby dust your way. AimeeM

Hi girls

I am cycle day 17 today so I will be joining you in yet another 2ww tomorrow. I may have already ovulated but I usually O on day 18. We are going to continue to BD every other day until day 21, just to be on the safe side.

Look forward to joining you soon and good luck to everybody!

Ruby

Hey Ruby! Hope you and DH have been having lots of fun trying! :D Don't forget that you have to make up for those of us who can't BD right now! ;) My poor DH, we haven't been able to BD since starting stims on 6/22 and when he talked to the RE office yesterday, they insisted that we abstain until AF... prob another 2 weeks from now! :eek: DH has a tremendous libido, me not so much, but even I must admit this is getting ridiculous! Well I hope that all the fun action combined with the clomid this cycle will bring you a baby in nine months! Good luck with your 2WW!

Thanks Kari, you are a love!

Your poor DH, I do feel sorry for him although I dare say he would rather hold out than risk your health in any way. My DH is the same, he would do it twice a day every day if he had his way! He has thoroughly enjoyed himself this past week!

I just sent you a post on the your other thread so I won't ramble on here.

Bye for now!

Ruby

Just wanted to wish you all the best on the 2ww. Pauline , Aimee just a few more days left.

Laurie how are you doing?

Ruby keep working at it..............i really hope that the clomid will work this time round.

Sending sticke baby dust to all

Amy

2 days left! and i managed to stay out of all pharmacies and supermarkets, targets, and walmarts, because i didnt want to be tempted by any evil HPTS! i have only had 1 can of soda with lunch and 1/2 a cup of iced tea, but i keep feeling as tho i have too pee. it got worse, in the afternoon. i feel full, but when i go its just a squirt, maybe a little more. it could be in my head, but i wasnt thinking about "having to pee a lot" so who knows?!?! i am 15dpo today, so maybe it is an early symptoms. besides that im just tired, and a little foggy feeling every now and then, but the fatigue comes and goes. i had a slight food adversion to my meatballs, but i still ate them! I wish it was saturday..!!! good thing today is almost over, so i just have to get to bed early tonite, and hopefully tomorrow will fly by!!! how are the rest of the girls? pauline?!?!?! leslie?! how you feeling, anyone take an HPT??

Thanks Amy!

I really appreciate your support. I hope the clomid works its magic on me this time.

Good luck everyone and thanks to all of you who helped me through my last BFN and into this 2ww - you know who you are. Your friendship and support means the world to me and I will be forever grateful, I will keep all of you girls especially in my prayers!

Ruby

Aimee, I am so excited for you... I feel very positive that this is gonna be it. All the ducks are lining up just perfectly and it just sounds like good news is probably coming!!! Good for you, staying away from anywhere that has those HPT sticks. I know you are gonna make it now, just one more long day away!!!:)
