T-hopes: I'm doing ok thanks. I haven't had any other beta's so just waiting for my 8 week scan. Hope you are keeping busy in your tww! Sending you positive vibes :-)
Elarwood- I have been thinking about you too. Hoping you are doing ok.
Munchkin glad to hear that all is still travelling well
T Hopes good luck with your tww. Hoping that your fears will be blown away when you get your BFP!
Elarwood...like the others, hoping you are doing ok & taking care of yourself xxx
AFM, just waiting for AF so that we can get this plan rolling. Have been to the acupuncturist twice in the last week. Forgot how calming & centring it can be
Got a call from the clinic about dates for my cycle. Can you believe I have to wait until 04Nov! I thought maybe the end of Sep but another 2 months...argh!!!
Sorry I have been reading but not posting, been too busy to stop for too long. Been getting into sewing for my facebook page, in between running around after my 3.5 year old, I swear she has a better social life than me!
Joe - OMG that is so annoying but I feel your pain, the same thing happened to me for my 2nd cycle, I had to wait nearly 3 months it was ridiculous.
Munchkin - sending you lots of good rising Beta vibes!
T-Hopes - sending you lots of sticky googie egg vibes!
AFM - well I'm gearing up to get going again girls, I'm so so nervous but this is my hopefully final month on a break, although I must admit it's been so nice not to have the stress of TTC, my cycles are still on the shorter side but otherwise everything seems to be ok so far, I even had one text book 28 day cycle with ovulation on day 14 but last month I went back to day 12 ovulation and a 23 day cycle so my luteal is still a little on the short side. I've been temping for the naturopath so she said bring my charts in next week for my appointment and she'll see what she can do naturally to help that. So as soon as AF comes this cycle (I'm only CD7 today) I will have bloods again to see if my iron's gone up and my FSH has gone down (it was 19 last check yikes) and if so we are good to go. I'm really wanting to do it as stress free/drug free as possible, I may still need help with my progesterone which sucks because that means I'll have to keep a close eye on things and it also means if I catch a crap egg it's going to stick again but what can you do, I can't afford to risk losing a good one because it's too low. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Anyway we shall see, I'm quietly confident but being optimistic as I know my chances are slim, I really am banking on a miracle and if it doesn't happen by the end of the year then I'll be hanging up my TTC boots for good ho hum.
Anyway I am reading and will try pop in more often so I can keep up with all this good news!!

Alison, good luck with the following months. Sounds like the naturopath has done wonders.
Joe that's ridiculous you can't get in til November! How frustrating! The waiting is horrible. Do you stay on synarel the whole time? That is just devastating news about that little boy, a precious life gone. I don't know how anyone could cope with that.
Munchkin hope you're hanging in there before your scan :-)
T-hopes fantastic news about having 2 - that's the same percentage we got. I have everything crossed that this little one sticks for you & have much better luck than we did. When is beta? Can't be too far away now!
AFM thank you all for thinking of me, I still don't know what exactly is going on. The biospy came back negative, no sign of pregnancy tissue in uterus so they are thinking it was ectopic or pregnancy of unknown location. I did one last hcg yesterday before making the laproscopy/injection decision & to my relief the levels have started to come down, only just. Another test tomorrow to make sure it's still decreasing then keep waiting to miscarry naturally - wherever it is. Doesn't give us any answers as to whether it would have worked if it implanted in right place. Emotionally I am hanging in there, just want it to be over.
PS - Joe, I just read the newspaper article about that little boy (a page I follow on Facebook had a link). So so sad & a living nightmare for that family. Loads of tears here & big cuddles to my little girl. No one should ever have to go through that :-(
Still have to wait & see what the clinic says about staying on the synarel once AF decides to show her face. Thinking I may be able to stop/start the synarel closer to Nov. Still silently hoping that another closer lab spot will come up soon!
Yes the little boys death was an absolute tragedy. His mum is trying to make his short life mean something though. I think she has targeted almost every mum/kid website to post her story so that no one else has to go through the same thing her family is & is begging curtain manufacturers to come up with a design that will stop this from every happening again. That takes a very strong woman! I certainly don't think I would be even functioning at this point. A celebration of the little boys life is set for Friday. Work has given us all paid time off to attend which is kinda nice.
Fantastic news T-hopes! So happy for you. Was that a beta at clinic?
My stupid hcg levels have doubled again. They were coming down. Waiting to hear back about what they want to do. So nervous that I'm going to have do a lap or the injection. Maybe that explains why the cgh embryo didn't work, it hasn't implanted in the right place.
Oh im so sorry elarwood that levels arent going down again, how unbelievably frustrating and heartbreaking, such a horrible road this has been for you I wish things were easier, I'm sorry. How's your hubby doing?
No beta isn't til Monday so very early days yet but got a nice looking line this morning with Frer, will just keep testing at home and hope it gets darker... Another 4 days til we'll know numbers.
Thanks Joe very excited but obviously very cautious cause its just so early... AF due Saturday so a little nervous still!
A dark is awesome. Well done!! Fingers crossed for you.
I've never understood why our little embryo didn't stick properly, and still no evidence of it implanting in my uterus. Spoke to my FS and he's worried about ectopic still, so going in to see him at 5.30am (argh) & at this stage he's placed me on the list for laparoscopy tomorrow. No option of the injection as I'm almost 8 weeks. This cycle has been my worst nightmare. I don't want the lap, but may have no choice & if it means I can move on quicker than I guess it's the best thing to do. I guess ill know more tomorrow.
