Just posting this message again in a new thread seen as I know how to do it now!!
KELSEY - You found me! I emailed you as soon as all this crap started as I knew I was going to be taken down. Good going on freezing the embryos. How many fresh embryos are you transferring? We are only allowed to do one in Aus, then only 2 if frozen.
All my embryos were 2 days. Our clinic takes the opinion better to be in me than out. However I have a lot of questions to ask the RE about this when we see him next. Manly from everyone elses situations on here. The more you learn the more questions you have.I am really impressed your parents offered to pay for freezing. That is really kind of them. Its not like you are asking for them to pay for a shiny new pink convertable car!! Plus this will be the gift that keeps on giving!!
I am now 4dp2dt. I feel like it is more like 4 months. I have the week off work and I have been doing nothing other than completely resting (ie eating and watching TV!). No symptoms at all. Not on progesterone as RE said my levels were good last cycle so no need. However that is something I will really question when I see him next. Few twinges but then that could be gas??? No spotting. No sore boobs. Nada......
Start new job in ICU on Mon. Shitting myself. Really should be going over all my uni stuff and study stuff instead of our blogs however this is more fun and helps me mentally!

Summer, I wouldn't worry about the lack of symptoms at 4dp2dt. I had a 5-day transfer and felt nothing (absolutely nothing) until 6 days later! Give it time. ;) Easier said than done though, I was already kind of freaking out (quietly) at 3dp5dt because I wasn't feeling anything. So, I understand your anxiety.
ReplyDeleteHappy to have you posting on OUR blog!
Summer - I'll probably be freaking out if I don't have symptoms too! There's just a lot riding on this. My best friend start TTC #2 this month and AF is due a couple days before my beta, so I'm nervooooous that she'll be PG and I won't. It would be pretty cool if we both were though! Last time she got PG her first month of trying so this time'll probably be that way again :P
ReplyDeleteI got a call from the clinic this morning. I have (6) 8 cell embryos, (2) 7 cell, and (1) 6 cell. It's only day 3 so she said there's always a chance the slow pokes could catch up by Sunday. I'm nervous because I had fluid in my uterus (again!) the day before retrieval. She said orgasm is the only way to get rid of it.. but then again we can't have sex, lol. So you fill in the blanks :) My hubby and I snuck into an adult store today to buy a little baby vibrator and I was MORTIFIED, but what do ya do? We have to get the job done somehow LOL. She wants me to have an orgasm a day until transfer haha. Poor DH :P
Anyway, good luck on your new job! Who needs to be studying - this blog is way funner :)
kelsey-let your freak flag fly!! Dont be mortified...its not like you were buying one of those big rubber fists. I always have a little fluid in my uterus. At first he attributed it to my endometriosis, but now he just says its normal for me.
ReplyDeleteGoldelox - I'm sitting here in my computer room *alone* laughing my head off at you :) Plus the cashier was a guy wearing tie-dye and there were a bunch of hookahs in the back room.. I guess I don't have much to judge :) Sooo you're telling me you got a BFP with the fluid issue? That makes me feel good. I'll bet mine would be from endo too. I was googling it last night and I read all of these studies showing a decreased chance of implantation with fluid in the uterus.. Can anyone think of anything else I can do to make myself more nervous :)
ReplyDeleteA ha ha ha ha ha. I am pissing myself laughing that you were "ordered" to orgasm!! Kind of like dominatrix.... I told you to come, now come!! ha ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the embryos are doing well.
Definitely nought we can do about friends getting pregnant. I am paranoid about BF that is trying for their second (the one who's DH was going to have a vasectomy but Dr wouldn't do it). I am all for us being pg at the same time, only if I make it first though. Her DH works away on the mines (2 weeks on 2 weeks off) and I keep thinking in my evil head I hope he is away every time she ovulates.
I know, how technical huh? How bad is it that we hope are BF's will *not* get pregnant? I know it's bad (I guess this is why this board is called Confession's right?), but I hope it takes her 4-6 mos. to get pregnant. That is not THAT bad - she would survive - but she can get a tiny feeling of how this feels.
ReplyDeleteAnother coworker sent me a text today to see how I was and she asked if I was going to our other coworker's baby shower tomorrow. I told her I try to stay far away from baby showers. She was like well, you don't have to hate them anymore because you're going to be one of "them" soon. Haha. Riiight... I will never be one of "them." I don't think anyone who has been through this (whether they have eventually gotten PG or not) could ever be one of "them." How do you suppose it would feel to not worry - I mean I know they worry about the normal things - but if they have a miscarriage, they just try again right? I know it'd be hard, but nothing compared to this. Do you think infertiles can ever go on to have a normal, carefree, pregnancy? Because I don't. And I will always hold a grudge toward people who got PG so easily. Whether I like it or not, it pisses me off. 2-4 nights of sex to them = multiple blood draws, ultrasounds (and not abdominal!), shots, bruises, surgery, WORRY, time off work, and tons of $$ to us. They go buy new 4-wheelers and a boat.. we have one very expensive chance of what they got for *free* So how could we ever be one of them?
Sorry, I'm just feeling like I need to vent tonite. I don't know what my deal is I'm just irritated after texting with her :P Thanks for listening :)
Firstly good luck with today. I think I am ahead in time differences here so hopefully you will get this message before you go for ET.
ReplyDeleteBaby showers? Ah no. At the beginning of IF I did go, but now I avoid them like the plague. I agree IF girls would never become one of "them" seen as we put everything on the line every cycle. It is an uphill battle and one that we do not take lightly. The worry would carry through right until the birth seen as there is a massive fear of knowing what we have to go through.
I try not to think of how much money this is all costing. I mean I roughly know however I am also in a bit of denial. Seen as time off work results in no pay seen as I have used all sick leave and holiday leave.
