I agree with Tarkine, have a quiet weekend if you can Gargy you may feel a little sore
Hi to everyone else, hope everybody is OK!!
Have been having a lovely time getting to know little Angus he really likes to sleep at the moment so am making the most of it.
well DH has just made some cheese cake with raspberry coulis thats my call to sign off me thinks, take care all
Oh my goodness Blizz..Paige and Angus are just totally adorable. Congratulations on the birth of Angus and on your beautiful family.
Hugs Bel
Awww I just want to have a big hug of Angus.
Gargy you have all my love and hugs for your trigger and for the big EPU on Friday. I will be thinking of you. Those darstedly ovaries huh. I know the feeling of discomfort all too well :redface:.
Tarkine, see you in a couple of weeks. Looking rounder no doubt! Hope your shoulders are doing ok. I worry...
Joy hi there and hope you are doing ok. 18 days on stims is quite amazing. I had that for my last own cycle and managed one measly egg!
AFM(us) Em is having her scan on Friday morning too so it is all happening.
Lulu if you are around another huge hug from me :hug:
Blizz the photos are gorgeous. Congrats again..
Gargy - best of luck for the big day tomorrow...
Just lurking, but want to stick my head in to wish Gargy best of luck for tomorrow, EPU here we come! Hope you get lots lots of healthy eggies!
Hello to all your lovely ladies!
OOOh Good Luck Gargy...
I will have to check up on how you feel after EPU, as my recip's & awesome buddies arrive on Jan 2nd from Seattle for my little eggies & I am not sure yet about when I will go back to work...
My boss is super cool with it all & said he will expect to wlak on egg shells once i start the meds!!!
I am starting on Gonal f ??? But not til closer to the time they will be arriving!!!
I wish you lots of success!
Tracey, just want to say what a wonderful woman you are of helping others, you are amazing!
Hi All
Gargy - Good luck for tomorrow...hope they get lots of good little eggies!! Thinking of you :)
Tarkine - Glad you are having a great pregnancy! Hope all continues to go well :)
Blizz - Nice to hear things are going well with your new addition to your family.... I will check out the other pics of little Angus as soon as I finish this post!
Dusty - Hope all goes well for Em's scan on Friday! :)
As for me I am still waiting for AF!!! I have been so horrible to DH this week.... I feel so hormonal just like before I get AF. But no she has not showed up yet. It's murphy's law isn't it.... when you dont want AF you get it and when you are waiting for it to show up it doesn't!!! Has anyone else had a delayed AF after a cycle of IVF? Maybe the 18 days of stims took it's toll!! I just want it to come so I can feel a little normal again and move onto our next step!!! :wall:
hello to everyone else!!
BLIZZ - I just saw your photos of Angus - he's absolutely precious, and so perfect! CONGRATULATIONS That's fantastic news.
Gargy - it's Friday morning and I'm thinking of you and sending you positive vibes for the collection of lots of excellent eggies.
I started the OCP this week, so am waiting to find out what my schedule looks like for the coming weeks. I travel a bit for work, so need to make sure I'm in Melbourne when I need to be - work can just take a back seat for a while!! Am very excited - at the moment it feels like a new adventure (am sure the novelty will wear off soon enough), but finally something is happening. DH is still needing to make weekly deposits, sometimes with success, sometimes without - but I'm hopeful we'll get there in the end.
Joy08 - I know what you mean about AF and now that you want it to arrive, it doesn't! I was like that all last week with every slight twinge sending me off to the bathroom with baited breath.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Today's the day Gargy!!!!....Thinking of you will check later to see how you got on, I send you all the best wishes I can muster
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your well wishes!
EPU went ahead today at 8am - I've written about it in detail in the blog.
However - the important information:
They collected 12 eggs, all of which were immature.
After watching the eggs as I recovered, 3 looked like they were able to be injected with sperm almost immediately.
Another 5 looked like they may grow during the afternoon.
4 unfortunately looked like they were not going to progress from this point.
So :crossfingers: that we get a reasonable number of embies from this - we hear tomorrow (my fear is that none of them will be good enough.)
Gargy - hoping those little embies do their stuff over the weekend..it's nerve wracking I know..Goodluck..
oh hon sounds promising, I'll keep everything crossed for you and will check again soon, have gone down in a screaming heap this arvo not sure if it is the flue or mastitis I am hedging myu bets on mastitis have just got back from the dr's with some antibiotics and have taken some panadol it's amazing how quickly I went from feeling OK to having excritiating pain in my breast and having the shakes and hots and colds, feeling heaps better already with the panadol but hoping Angus will let me have a good night and an early night so I am going to sign off now, night all
Good Luck with it all Gargy!!! I hoep there's some for the freezer too! ;-)
Not good news.
Only one has survived - and will only survive to a 3 day blast.
Going back in on Monday.
DH and I are shattered - he wrote earlier about it.
I'll come back again when I'm more positive - at the moment I just am finding it very hard to hope.
Apologies hun, I just read... But dont give up the positive thinking!!!!
:hug:I'm here if you need me, don't give up hope it only takes one, sending some strong, healthy growing vibes to your little blastie
Gargy :hug: :hug: I'm here for you too Gargy :hug: c'mon little embie
:hug: Gargy, don't worry about finding it hard to hope, hopefully our 'collective' hope here for you will help.
Hi Everyone
Gargy - I hope you are feeling ok... I am sending lots of positive vibes so your little embie sticks!! Thinking of you..... :hug:
Well AF finally showed up last Friday... Yay!! So I started Gonal F on Sunday and will have this till about day 12 of cycle... then trigger and 5-7 days after will have the transfer. Seems to be a bit nicer on the body than a full blown IVF cycle.
How is everyone else travelling?
:grouphug:
Hi ladies... some of you may remember me from last year, some may not!! For those that were around then.. my apologies for disappearing from the forum, without even saying goodbye... but my head was all over the place, and the rollercoaster ride we were on was getting a little too much for me, so I decided to put it in the sand for a year!! (I have however popped by every now and then to see where everyone is up to in their journey... you're up to general chatter 8 now... so alot has happened!!)
As a refresher, we first found out my DH had azoospermia in November last year after TTC for a year - he had the PESA/TESA in December (with no sperm found) - we spent Christmas under a dark cloud - January thinking about using DS - February, we decided that we weren't mentally ready to give up, so we committed to 8 months of healthy lifestyles (no wine!!), acupuncture and all the chinese herbs you could imagine, in readiness for DH's biopsy in October. Although we were hoping for a miracle with his biopsy, it didn't happen for us. :(
So... over the last month, we have been trying to decide where to from here for us... which has bought be back here to you... we have decided to go ahead with donor... we have actually been speaking with DH's brother (and his wife) about the possibility of him being our donor (which is the nicest news we have received in 12 months). We've both been researching, reading and speaking to anyone we can about it all - but the one thing we can't find is information for their family - that is, for them and their 2 children - there is lots for us as the recipient, but not for them as the donor. Does anyone know of anything/anywhere/anyone we can speak to?
I hope everyone is well and I will spend tomorrow reading the rest of the thread, to catch up on the news.
Millie
