Just a quick update - my cycle was cancelled and I am now back to looking for an egg donor - I am pretty okay about it, feeling very calm as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
It was partly my decision my doctor left it open to me, it looked like the maximum I could expect would have been two eggs and with the added PGD and the need to have them grow to blastocysts to be able to test them the chances to succeed were so small that I just wasn't able to go through with it emotionally.
Thanking you all for your support and for sharing my journey for this past year. Wishing you a 2010 which makes your wishes come true.
Sara - I completely understand your decision and feelings - 100%...I was just there...couldn't go through it physically or emotionally for 1-2 eggs. Hope 2010 brings all of our dreams and wishes...
Hello wonderful ladies of this thread. Well, it's that time of year when I can't get that Christmas song out of my head...you know the one..."Another year over...and a new one just begun..."
Sara - I am sorry to hear your news. At least you can rest assured, that you tried. Good luck on the donor path. I think I've got one or two more cycles in me and then I'll be joining you there!
Daisie - how's your miracle going...I'll have my fingercrossed for your scan - hopefully, it can help you relax and enjoy this!
Bulie, Dutchie, Anyos, Ferrals, Possum and everyone else who's been part of this journey & thread in 2009...
It's time to kiss the backside of 2009 good-bye. Let's pray that 2010 is full of peaceful minds and happy days, irrespective of where this journey decides to take us.
AFM, lap scars have healed. I'm off o/s for two weeks to the land of balmy days, cheap shopping & $10 massages! When I check in for my flight, I am not checking in my 'TTC baggage', hahahaha. I figured, I can live without it for a few weeks at least. When the clock ticks over tonight, with a few drink under my belt, I also plan to leave my 2009 TTC woes IN 2009 and not take them with me into 2010. It's a fresh year, a new start!
Hi all. Hope you all have fun New Years and 2010 is the year for the BFP!
Tigga - I've had a bit of spotting actually, but my FN says that is fine and not to worry unless I get heavy bleeding. I guess there is nothing that can be done anyway, so I should try to worry - my motto during my last cycle was "It is what it is" and I guess that applies now as well. One week till scan, so fingers crossed I get there and all is well.
happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and praying that 2010 brings you joy, happiness & peace.
Daisie, congratulations, hope all is going well.
Tigga glad the op went well and hope you have a wonderful holiday, the $10 massages sound fantastic!
Buliej sorry to hear your cycle was cancelled, hoping you had a good break and have a fresh start this year.
Dutchie, how are you going honey? Have been thinking of you and hope all is well.
Possums, Sara and everyone else, hope you are all well.
AFM travelling well apart from the usual holiday family dramas. Had my first scan last week and the little bean is cooking nicely. Thank you all for your love and support last year. I'm very grateful for the support, advice, humor and honesty that this little community has shared with me. I won't be posting much here but will definitely be lurking and cheering everyone on.
Hi ladies i havnt posted in a while just letting my body get back to normal after my Nov cycle my hormones are a bit mucked up but i had an appt today with my FS and i would like some reasurance from you girls as you have a lot more experience with this blasted FSH hormone my levels seem to be hovering between 9 and 10.5 the FS said thats on the high end of normal but she is not worried as i responded really well to a low dose of meds (fantasticly her words) and had plenty of follies and a good number of eggs she doesnt expect me to hit menopause for at least 10-15 years and believes that with us trying naturally we will be pregnant in the next few months as it was only 9 months ago that we lost abbi but i have my doubts out of the 8 eggs we had 3 blasts 1 grade 2 and 2 grade 3 the quality of our embryos wasnt great she seems to think that is pretty average for a 1st cycle anyway we have decided if we are not pregnant by may that we will do a normal ivf cycle instead of pgd and test the baby at 12 weeks i would rather get pregnant sooner and test the baby to give us more time to try again if need be but where my concerns are with the FSH have you heard of anyone having slightly elevated levels but still be fertile and produce plenty of follies and eggs like me and has anyone used the internet FSH urine tests? and the clear blue fertility monitor.
also i am now taking coQ10,royal jelly maca capsules,and vitex plus i have made an appt with catherine chan the famous fertility naturopath(as seen on accurrent affair)to see if she can help me i just dont understand how she thinks i am still nice and fertile with FSH around 10 sorry i have rambled on.
Tigga-good luck with your next cycle.
Sara-sorry to read your cycle was cancelled.
Dasie-have you had your u/s yet hope all is well.
Bluiej-sorry to hear that your cycle also diddnt go well i hope 2010 is much more positive for you.
