I POAS this afternoon. I know its only 7dp5dt and is very early. It was a negative. I half expected it, but half of me hoped it would be a miracle. I am gutted. I keep telling myself it is early and it was not on the first urine of the day. It was on a FRED though......
I have had a few minor cramps on my right side today and I am grumpy. Hope it is not PMS, just me feeling down and pessimistic.

5dp5dt - felin hot!
Another boring post I am afraid! Still counting down the days, they are going so slowly!
Not much has changed from yesterday. One thing that DH keep commenting on over the last two days is that I feel very hot! My temp is def up, I am hot, he cant hug me at night as I am too warm. I am never warm, ever, I am like a fridge! Is this a side effect of the progesterone? I didnt have it last cycle. I have also felt sicky this morning again. I am sensible enough to know it is too early and any signs are due to progesterone, but the warmth as well?
The two people who know about our IVF and FET are starting to ask when I will find out. I hate the added pressure, one of the reasons I have not told family.
I really hope that Emma and Brian (the names of our two embryo's for some reason!) have snuggled down.

4dp5dt
Help, I am bored, restless and sick of this 2ww already!! My mind is working in over drive and I am half wanting to POAS (WAY too early I know!!!) and the other half of me never wants to POAS as I want to stay PUPO forever! I realise that it doesn't make sense. I guess I am desperate to know, but scared it hasn't worked.
Bad thing, but I cant help but google. I have found people that got a BFP on 4dp5dt. Surely that cant be right?!!?
I have found a forum that I have joined recently, it is for my fertility clinic and all the girls are cycling there with me. Two of the girls have just got a BFP which is amazing. There seems to be a lot of BFP's this time round and a few minor good things seem to be happening to me at the mo (which is rare) and so I semi optimistic but also scared I am using up all my good luck. DO you think there is only a certain number of BFP's that are handed out each round and once the quota is used up, everyone else gets a BFN?
Wow, I am screwed up at the mo. I realise all of the above is just a load of brain dribble. Sorry. I just had to get it out of my system!!
Oh and I made a fool out of myself the other day, I walked out of the doctors crying because the doctor told me I was losing my hair because of the IVF meds and there wasnt anything she could do but check my thyroid. I am already being treated for hypothyroidism! She did give me some shampoo which is helping with the dandruff but now my hair loss. I never cry in public, especially not whilst walking out of my doctors, surrounded by a few clients and everyone staring at me! SO embarrassing!!

3dp5dt and driving myself crazy!!
This 2ww is going so slowly (when does it every go quick?!?) and I am driving myself crazy, wondering, hoping, googling all the time!
I have found the twilight saga to occupy me. I know I am a bit slow! I loved the films and so am reading the books on my NEW amazon kindle!! DH bought it for me as an early Christmas present so I wont have anything to open on the day, but that's OK, I love it. It is so easy to use and to read from. I have finished the first book in 2 1/2 days. That maybe so slow to some, but that is the quickest I have ever read a book. I am extremely dyslexic and so reading off a white background makes the words move and jump around, it did not happen with the kindle. I am now in love, not only with the kindle, but also with Edward! So much so I am considering calling my first boy Edward, LOL!!
I have been a bit crampy since my transfer, which is strange as the transfer itself was pretty much fine, slightly uncomfortable but not what I would call painful. I can only hope the cramps are a good sign. I know that you can not analyse any signs at this stage, but I really hope one or two of them are snuggling in for the journey.
As far as testing goes, I know it is way too early at the moment, but I am wondering whether I can wait until 11dp5dt? That's 16 days past ovulation in the real world. I was thinking of testing on Friday. That would be 8dp5dt. That surely can not be too early?!!? When did you all get a positive hpt after a 5 day transfer?

Going bald, help!
Has anyone ever found that their hair started falling out and getting dry clumps of dandruff on your scalp during IVF/FET treatment? I seemed to have got all of the side effects of these drugs like headaches, insomnia and bad guts, all of which I can cope with but I am losing my hair! I am starting to notice thinning of my hair line and it is upsetting! Help! The IF clinic has not heard of it, my GP told me it was rare and gave me some shampoo, but nothing is helping! If I do get PG and have to stay on these meds until 12 weeks, I am scared I will be completely bald! Maybe I should start collecting all of my hair that falls out to make my self a wig! Seriously though, it is really bothering me.
On a plus side I am PUPO which is always exciting and I am trying to rest but I know this 2ww is going to go so slow. Yay to being 1dp5dt!

PUPO!
Had my transfer a couple of hours ago. They put both back in as the second blastocyst was showing signs of life which is good! The transfer this time was great. I had a different doctor and he scanned me at the same time as putting the catheter in and I watched the air bubbles go in with the two embryos. Was very cool!!
I am now hopefully and excited at the moment. I know this 2ww week will be up and down as normal. My test date is the 11th October and again I do not have a beta, just pee on a stick and call them with the results which is crap!!
I so hope this works. I have one great blastocyst and I semi OK blastocyst, if at least one could stick that would be amazing!!

Clinic called...
.... with some good news! One embie has definitely survived the thaw. The other is a bit 'ify' at the moment but they will keep watching and will most prob stick it back in as well as there is nothing to lose!! I am so pleased we have something to transfer!!!
Now have to wait a couple of hours before I go in for the transfer. I have had to call in 'sick' today for work. I feel so bad, I hate screwing people over, but a baby is far more important that work!!
In a few housr I will be PUPO!! Bring on the 2ww!!
