2ww - Early July 2010 - Anyone else?

[slpfsr]

Hi all,

I am in the dreaded 2ww, until July 11, 2010, when I go in for my blood test. I'm looking for buddies to keep me company and prevent me from doing HPTs...until a reasonable time at least!!

Anyone on the same schedule?

Good luck, and lots of baby dust to you all!

A little about me, and where I am on this ttc journey:

--Age 39. Good health, but dh has low count and slow moving troops. 2 failed IUIs.

--Now on 1rst IVF cycle, which has gone like this:
06/15 to 24: Follistim and Menopur shots, 150 each
06/25: HCG trigger
06/27: Egg Retrieval. 14 eggs! :-)
06/28: Antibiotics and started progesterone shots. 10 eggs fertilized! :-)
06/28-07/04: Mild to moderate OHSS. :-( Not comfortable, but not so bad to have to cancel transfer. :-)
07/02: Day 5 Embryo Transfer. 2 good embies (blastocytes) transferred. :-) 4 stayed under observation for freezing.
07/04: Progesterone test. All good. None of the extra embies were good to freeze. :-(
07/05: Better from OHSS, though still od'ing on Gatorade to prevent return, which might come if I do get pregnant.
07/06: Waiting.... no symptoms, aside from a couple of mild twinges in lower abdoment... According to the schedule below, implantation should still be occuring.

07/11 is blood test day!

---------------------------

5-Day Blast Transfer - What happens each day after:

Day One: The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell  
Two:         The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
Three:      The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation  
Four:        Implantation continues
Five:        Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop  
Six:          Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream  
Seven:     Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted  
Eight:       Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted  
Nine:        Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy

Just trying to wait things out, so I thought posting what I am experiencing might help in the meantime. I am 9-11 dpo as far as I can tell. 7/12 moody, light cramping, started talking about fertility treatments out of the blue 7/13 spotted (thought AF was here) 7/14 spotted, moody, BBs full and heavy 7/15 spotted light cramping on left side 7/16 spotted- all the spotting is pink or brown hpt BFN.

I feel like I am a nut, lol. I keep running to the bathroom to see if AF is here. I don't want to get my hopes up b/c I have PCOS and have never been regular, but I just started thinking about babies and then my body decided to act like this. Started prenatals and am planning on taking a blood test on Monday if AF doesn't show. Waiting *****!

Good luck and baby dust to everyone!

Hi,
I just had an IUI today, so I am beginning the 2ww! It was a natural cycle and I ovulated early!  Been taking lots of vitamins and I had two follies, one a good size, so hopefully that one will take!
Sending Baby Dust to All!

Korrskat,
Don't let the test get you down. Maybe it was still a little bit early; you never know. And if not, well, hopefully the next cycle will do it!
Keep us updated on what happens.
Big hug
Sofia

Well, i broke down this morning and took a HPT and got a BFN! i am so frustrated!!! my beta is not until 7/18 but i think by 12 dpo implantation would take place? i dont know... i'm so exhausted thinking about this. i apologize to everyone for my negativity but i need to vent. maybe 3rd IUI will be the one.

I'm sorry slpfsr to hear about your news. i hope the next cycle is the one for you.
