Hi ladies,
How is everyone?
Lu how are you feeling?
I spoke with one of the scientists yesterday and they think the test is still a month away - which is still on track for the 8-12 week original estimate. The scientist may also hit the nail on the head sooner than that and we can get going. Either way I am expecting my next AF in about 4-5 weeks so it should be good timing. FS is going away for 2 weeks, but should be back for the EPU, so I guess another FS would just be monitoring my progress from the scans etc?? Easter is in there too so it will be good to have some time off while I'm jabbing.
Pray for me ladies that we are not far off!!

BF - Sorry to ask but will this be your first cycle? Are you in the process of getting genetics to make up your tests?
Lu - I hope everythings going well & your MS is not too bad.
AFM - I'm doing well, it's been a rough week but hubby has been very good & we are organizing finances for round two. We have a follow up 5th March so hopefully FS will have some ways we can improve our chances? Not sure really just trying to be positive

Lol@ wmm! Yay don't go
BF - yup gotta keep at it! Been an awful week one of my mums dogs died in a freak accident, so it's been very somber all round.
Sounds like very exciting/stressful times for you DH, it is such a long road isn't it!? Without wishing our lives away u almost just want to fast forward to the part where your dream is a reality.

I'm sorry JBear about your mum's dog, that's so sad.
Yep, it's a long and winding road alright!!! It's hard to believe it's ever going to happen... which is bad because it means I am not looking after myself as well as I should be, thinking it will still be months off and I still have time....
Registered User
try and stay positive ladies ,,,, i know it sounds hard ..... after 3 failed attemps i was sure that it would never happen again!
anyway im well counting down the sleeps till the 7 week viability scan its killing me!!!! just want to see all is ok!
take care
good to see your still here wmm!
Registered User
Thanks Lu I know it will happen for us one day, i'm trying to focus on my health to be as ready for the next cycle as we can be but babies are always on my mind...LOL. Hey it's not long now til your scan, next week isn't it? I hope your keeping well.
BF thank you, it's been a crazy few weeks. Make sure you look after yourself, i know it probably seems like it's taking forever and it is still so far away. For me it went quick because I had the distraction of our wedding & honeymoon but the process does just feel like it drags on for-ev-er! I hope it goes a bit quicker for you...Make sure you take extra good care of yourself xx

Hi ladies,
How's everyone going?
No news from me, just counting the days til we get another update - about 19.....
Happy Friday to all and a lovely weekend!!!

HI ladies
I'm well cant complain.....
I did come across some interesting information when i was at my accountants..... i was totally unaware of it and i guess other are too.....
My accountant asked if I had medical expenses over $2000 (we are usually quite private about the ivf so we asked why)
We were told that you can claim 20% of medical expenses including ivf and meds etc over $2000...... so all you do is get a tax statement from medicare for the financial year that you need and a tax statement form the health care fund that you are in and provide them to the accountant! (does take a while for them to send them out but worth it)
Every dollar counts seeing they have cut the rebate for ivf with medicare so much
I wish i would have known earlier!
I will attach a link that will make more sense.
T9 - 20% tax offset on net medical expenses over the threshold amount
Have a wonderful weekend ladies!

^ yep, and take receipts for any meds you have paid for
Jbear sorry about your mums dog
I remember sending an email to someone that had a list of all the stuff I did pre Ivf. Let me know if your interested and I will dig it out and copy it over.
I also never thought I would never get my happy ending. PGD makes it so much harder and can take many more try's but you WILL get there!

That's awesome info! I'll def be going to the accountant after the cycle, should be good timing too, if we cycle just before the end of fin year. Is the medical expenses per financial year or calendar year? Can you claim absolutely everything or just prescription stuff?
God so looking forward to the weekend!!
