To those who have/had their positive pregnancy test. It is OK to laugh?
I don’t know if this has to do with anything, if anything it is funny
Today I am day +8, after egg transfer of 2 grade 1 embryos. I have my BT on Monday and the nurse at the clinic tells me that the earliest they can detect any HcG is no sooner then day +10, but we all know what the 2 week wait is like 🙂 At the moment I can’t imagine my body is not doing anything natural at the moment due to this IVF cycle and all the meds and all that, anyway to get to the point, other then the AF pains, and the tender (.)(.) from the crinone gel I reckon, my nibbles are so dry and hard and itchy (sorry tmi) more the left then the right, but don’t know if this has anything to do with anything I just wanted to know if others have had something similar, or maybe it is just a laugh and a reaction of all the meds I have had over the last month. Heres hoping it is a positive
Michelle answers:
Well I’ hope your positive because I’m having All the same symptoms (even the itchier left then right thing) and I am 7 days past due for a period….I hope we’re both pregnant. Good Luck!

Donna asks…
IVF, what are the chances?
I had a fet yesterday, the embryologist said the embryo defrosted nicely and looked very healthy, so just wondering what the chances of it implanted successfully are now that i know it defrosted well? It was frozen 5 days post egg collection. I became pregnant first go with my 4 mth old son with a fresh cycle. Also what are the first signs, as i have had no medication at all, but with my last pregnancy i was on hormones so i am not sure what the first signs of pregnancy are in a natural pregnancy and when the signs start. TIA
Michelle answers:
Um, sore tits, pissing all the time, being a moody biatch – well I guess its hard for you to tell if you are actually pregnant – that is you already HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAAHAHHA

John asks…
Have you had symptoms of implantation?
If so what were they (spotting, cramping, etc) and when were they in your cycle (cycle day, dpo, before or after expected period, etc)? I am just curious as I had brown spotting off and on yesterday which was cycle day 22 for me and about 8 dpo. I have had nothing since yesterday evening. Also my period is not due until at least Monday and I have only had spotting a day before my period before and it is usually a little heavier and more red and doesn’t stop.
Thanks so much for sharing your stories and any info with me.
P.S. TTC for 27 months now, seeing an RE, this was a natural cycle, supposed to start a treatment cycle with Gonal F and timed intercourse at the start of my next period and if that fails it is on to IVF. Our doctor was joking last week and said that just talking about IVF scares your body into getting pregnant. We laughed but he said he sees it happen a lot.
I had some slight cramping on and off the past couple of days too.
I just thought it was odd and it caught me totally off guard yesterday because I am at least 7 days away from my period. I am trying not to read too much into but I am still hopeful!!!
Michelle answers:
I honestly do not recall if I had it with my first four or my miscarriage. I did have some implantation symptoms with my current pregnancy; I had one day (like two to three times throughout that day) of light brown spotting. I also was having slight cramping/pulling sensations. I was paying close attention this time because I was “trying” to get pregnant, so I was really in tune with my body. With my boys I wasn’t trying, I was very lucky (2 surprises and 2 “lets get pregnant” and bam that month I got a positive, the time I miscarried, I had no clue I was pregnant till I realized I missed a period. Then this time we were trying, so like I said , and I am sure you do the same thing, you pay close attention to your body and you know when something is different. I have long cycles, around 31-33 days and I ovulate late in my cycle, I experienced the spotting around 9 dpo. After the spotting, I continued to have the cramping/pulling feelings and my breasts began to itch and become tender.
I hope it is your month, and if not I hope and pray that it happens very soon for you and your husband. Good luck!!!!!!

I had the spotting 7 days before I expect my period which is why I thought it was odd. I read on article online last night that said 20-30% of women will have implantation spotting or bleeding.
Michelle answers:
YES! YES AND YESSSS!
I had been TTC for about 18 months when I finally regulated my cycles and what not, I was charting and was definitely playing REALLY close attention to my body.
With a normal 28 day cycle, Ovulating on CD 15 I had implantation bleeding, GUARENTEED on 7 dpo. It sained my panties, was a brown color and was very on and off all day…when it was on it was practically off, one bathroom break nothing, the next bathroom break I had brown stains on my panties…so I thought…..hmmm…along with the spotting I had cramping and pullings here or there….
That night I bought an EPT and got a faint positive! THe browner it is the better…and mine even turned into a faint pink at one point…
