    aww darlin im not sure why this is happening but i think its a good idea to get a blood test first just incase your pg oh that would be awsom.
    but other wise maybe af is on her way and you can start your pill for ivf and i hope im not far behind you maybe she is just a bit late this usually happens to me but its only because im nervouse and excited this has also happened to a few other girls just when were waiting for af for once she takes her time stupid af lol
    good luk hunny and keep us posted

    [size="3"im Not Really Sure Brooke They Did It Differently At Our Other Clininc So Im Just Not Sure Hunny Im Sorry ..
    But When I Call The Clinic On Monday Im Asking Her For A Over The Phone Interview As We Have Already Done 2 Ivf Cycles We Dont Need To Learn The Injections Or Anything Else Like That And Sam Soo Said This Can Be Done So Im Not To Sure Yet And Maybe Only Going Again For The Epu Gee I Hope So
    Did You Stay Over Night When You Went Down There And If So Were ??we Stayed At The Wesley Lodge Straight Across The Road On Hawsbury Road If Your Looking For Somewere Next Time It Was Ok Just So Close To The Hospital I Just Thought You Might Like To No About It I Mean We Walked Straight Across The Road If You Need To No More Just Let Me No And Ill Send You The Info //
    Well My Sweet Im So Glad That Af Has Come And Im Really Hopeing We Will Be Close Together Through This Cycle

    Hi girls,

    Smithy, so glad to read your appt went well. A positive, fresh start!

    Brooke, I was exactly the same when I started on the pill too. Af came for me on the sat too. I was so confused wondering if taking just 1 or 2 tabs before moving onto tan colour was right. I had rung the clinic on day 1 and was given instructions but the more I thought about it, the more I worried that it didn't seem right to only be taking a few tabs before moving back onto the active pills..... BUT, I rang the clinic again to clarify and it is correct. The nurses send out a printed overview of your whole cycle including the dates and how it all works... GL with your phone call tomorrow. I hope it puts your mind at ease.

    AFM, I've finished the pill popping and have been sniffing synarel since last Tuesday which was the day of our nurses appt. Injections start 27th Aug so not long now before things will gather speed!!

    ok so kust got the call back from the clinic and im to just wait for af now and call the clinic the morning she comes and then hopefully we can start the pill so im back to wait for silly old af.
    not sure when she will be coming to visit either as she srrived on the 26 july and i had brown like periods up until last monday then it turned red she really is a pain in my fat ars.
    so not sure if this means shell be due again around the 26th this month oh well i guess well see COME ON AF I WANNA START MAKEN BABIES
    oh yeh i forgot to mention i think we have to go for the nurses app after all so another 13 hr round trip for us but at least its not until the day of synerel

    hi everyone

    Kaydee - thanks yeah ive got it sorted now bit confusing, LOL.

    I called the nurse we have to go westmead for interview and get the meds on Wednesday 3rd sept (cant wait) then start sniffing. then should start injections around the 19th. im so excited!!! lets pray that AF comes on time cause i should have my eggs collected around the 3rd of OCT. ( i have to be at a wedding on the gold coast on the 11th of OCT) Nothing like squeezing in all in) Hopefully my relaxing holiday might help!!!!

    Smithy - so u have to wait til next cycle to start?? Pitty

    Hi girls,

    Injections start 27th Aug., BT 2rd sept.. U/S (and BT) 3 or 4 or 5 sept depending on bt results... EPU is planned for Mon 8th or Tues 9th Sept... I keep thinking i'm still about 6 weeks off but it's more like 3 weeks! I don't need to go back to the clinic until my first bt... Picked up all meds on the same day as the nurse interview.

    I can't imagine what it must be like having to travel such distances to get to the clinic. You girls have an extra hurdle!

    Smithy, hoping AF comes your way soon and you can begin.

    Brooke, glad to see your cycle is underway...

    yay kaydee all is sounding great hun its all starting to happen now thinking of you hun.
    the travel bit doesnt worry us it is a bit of a pain but hopefully all worth it this time for usand the nurse said even if we have to do the nurses app they will give me all the drugs and paper work for scans and stuff so much easier then its just EPU and we will stay a few days for transfer.

    good luk girls and keep strong keep me posted

    Hi Mrs M,

    Everything for an ivf cycle is included in the 1450... from start to finish... all meds, operating theatre, anaesthetic, everything.

    The initial consultation with our doctor was an upfront fee of $260 but we only ended up out of pocket about $30 once it was claimed though medicare. Any follow up visits are bulk billed.

    Hope that helps, good luck with your cycle in January!
