Hey N2l- you won't be surprised to hear AF arrived xmas day for me!! Good on her, she's such a reliable witch. Did you get graced by her presence yet?
I'm calling my clinic tomorrow to see what they want me to do for my next cycle- down reg or antagonist. Thinking of a month off to get up to scratch diet wise-but if I do a down reg, I'll be on pill for a month anyway. When does your cycle start? I need to get onto yur regime of supplements so will go back and check your list.
Only a few more days of 2-11 to go then we are in 2012 - the year we are both falling pregnant- yay!!
Hiya Saff :)
Merry post-Christmas gorgeous!
AF arrived this morning. A day or two late by my calculations (although had some pink cm yesterday and Christmas night)... I need to chat to DP tonight about starting next cycle. In two minds as to now or next month. Cheaper to fit it in this year but my FS is away so it would be her colleague.
I really am starting to thing it's never going to happen to me. I just can't even imagine it :(
Oh well, it won't happen if I don't try I guess!!!
Hope you are well x
So sorry Saf & N2L :(
:grouphug:
2012 will be a better year.
Well, had my first jab last night. Right now I am on the train from city to home after going into clinic to get more drugs. (last night's jab was from an old stash in my fridge).
While I was there I got the results from my fsh blood test a couple days ago. It is 5.2 so not bad for an old chook like me. When I started AC 18 months ago, it was 5.5 so it seems be holding steady.
Now if we can just find that one magic egg to do the trick!!
Pondering whether to have one drink tomorrow night ( while stimming)... Feel like a whole bottle or two of bubbles actually :( ) What do people think?
Hope everyone is well x
Go for it, its hard enough doing this, one drink isn't going to make all the difference I'm quite sure! For me only the tww is out of bounds for drinking but I know some FS's tell women they can have a drink even then.
I've started the pill for an antagonist stim cycle, my old clinic didn't use the pill for that so this is new to me, but as I was thinking of having a month off, that works out beautifully- I'll count my month off as the one on the pill then epu approx first week of Feb- perfect for me work wise. Now i just have to get all those myriad of vitamins etc you are on N2L! Good news about your fsh also.
Still in a post- failed cycle depression here, not sure why, I should be used to it by now! I feel like I shound be pregnant or a mother now, not working over christmas and having to get in the mood for another stim cycle.
Anyhoo, happy new year everyone, hopefully i will be down at the beach drinking champagne this time tomorrow night, see you in 2012!
Happy new year everyone :)
May it bring a sticky pregnancy for us all :pray:
Off to my first scan of the cycle... I have been stimming for five days. I feel strangely devoid of any hope :(
Good luck N2L- why do you feel like that? Because of overall hopelessness or do you think the stimming hasn't produced any results? Sometimes when you think its not happening you get a pleasant surprise. Don't forget you only need one great embryo out of it all and if we keep trying we just might get it. I really hope this is your last stim cycle xx
Well I find myself on the pill, am I going backwards lol! Still eating xmas leftovers so the doet exercise regime hasn't started yet, hmmm is it going to?? Will be battling to shed weight while I'm on the pill well thats my excuse anyway.
I think I feel like I am just going through the motions. I already know what the result will be but I have to keep trying iykwim. I feel a bit blurgh because my FS isn't here. So I feel a bit anchorless or something. Seeing different FS each time. Although the one I am about to see is the director of MIVF so I guess he knows his stuff ....
I didn't sleep last night so that's probably not helping.
Oh well...
Five measly follicles...All under 11mm :( Another scan on Friday.
oh bum, sorry N2L. I hate stim cycles, theres so many ways they can go wrong grrrr, stupid bl00dy scan! By Friday they should be bigger though so will cross fingers for you for lots of growth.
Right now I just feel like giving up entirely. Not sure how much longer I can keep doing this :(
yeah i can understand that..............sux
but also you can't leave me here by myself ;)
No danger of that...as much as I would like to iykwim ;)
It's funny hearing people say they don't know how they will cope if their first cycle doesn't work. I would love to have that sort of optimism :s
I will be here too so no fear of anyone being left alone should someone graduate.
N2L sorry your scan sucked balls. Hopefully they hump along a bit for Friday x
Nothing2lose- Is this where I should be having general chat about our cycles instead of the other thread or I am I still in the wrong place?
Hey there Kerbear. This thread is for the gorgeous women who have had multiple cycles of IVF, etc.
The thread you are looking for is here - https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post3013854
Good luck :)
Thank you, I found it finally just before, sorry I was getting lost and confused, thanks for your help
Crappy, crappy scan :(
Had to go to big US place because FS couldn't see anything. I have 3 follies - 15, 15 and 13mm - on my right. Nothing worth anything on my left.
Just waiting for FS to work out plan of attack. It is cd11.
FML :(
Awww, sorry N2L! Not a fantastic result, but you could still have a couple of embies from that right? Or do they cancel the cycles if there is not enough eggs/not mature enough? Sorry hun, haven't been there myself but something tells me it might be me soon :( Hope the FS can come up with somethig for you. And remember hun, never ever give up hope even if the results are not what you expect. Just remember to give me the same advice OK? Big hugs :hug:
Ok. Had my teary in the FS office. He was a sweetheart. He isn't my normal FS. He said, 'dont worry, I have a good feeling about this'. I hope he is a clairvoyant in his spare time and his good feeling is spot on.
At least all three are pretty even in size. They should all reach optimum size before pickup on Wednesday.
I just have to pray the all have mature eggs in them and they all fertilize :pray:
I NEED this to work this time :pray:
Thanks Miss B.
I just don't understand why everything is so good on paper but then my response is so poor....i just have to pray the quality is there.
I'll be praying very hard for you hun. BTW, when I got my BFP with Cam (after I lost Josh) my FS said, I have a good feeling about this one......and he was right! I hope it's a really good outcome for you darl, you have been waiting patiently for so long, it's your turn now! xoxox
N2L - Oh Hun I feel for you, I will be praying for you to that the embies grow big enough for you. Glad FS was really nice to you as it is so hard breaking down in front of them when things are working to plan.
Thing of you and my fingers are crossed for you.
Thanks Kerbear :)
Clinic rang with my BT results. They want me to come in tomorrow for another lot because my progesterone is higher than it should be. My estrogen is on the high side too given the amount of follies I have...
Results:
LH - 4.8
Progesterone - 4.5
Estrogen - 3731
It may not be what you wanted to hear from the BT results but it might help the docs understand what's going on, so sorry to hear its not going smooth but we are all here fur you to chat to :-)
Hey N2L - what dose of Gonal F were you on??
Just replied to your other post... :)
This time I was on 300.
Last time 262.5
I have also done 400, 450 and 600.
haha I'm following you around!
Wow 262.5-thats a specific dose.
Hmm so 400 is on the higher side, should be ok,I've never had ohss problems
Thankyou!!
HI girls, just a quick update
going for EPU on Tuesday, not overly confident as less follicles this time but oh well.
I was speaking to a friend yesterday and told her I was doing a cycle, she said 'oh great are you excited' and i actually said 'no, I'm really not', and its true- I'm not excited at all, am expecting to be disappointed and don't think I've got any chance of getting pregnant and have just spent a small fortune with nothing to show for it.
Talk about jaded!
Normally it doesn't bother me but right now in the waiting room of my FS a couple has a baby RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
And i can't breathe.
Please God, don't let me cry :(
:hug: :hug: :hug:
oh hun, thats awful xxx
even in the day stay recovery room today after my EPU when all the DH's came in, someones 2 kids came in as well- freakin hell, its been bothering me a lot this cycle.
Hope you got through OK.
What did FS say xx
It's very quiet here now...
I'll just wait over here and eat some canapés until someone else arrives (and hope I'm at the right party)
it is quiet in here... i think everyone else is just fashionably late - im sure they will arrive when they realise the party has started... ;)
reading your signature, sounds like you have been through a lot over the past year. i hope your luck changes soon. nice to meet you, josiejo :)
I'm around too josiejo and andie, in the dreaded tww with 2 embies day on board, so I'll have to skip the champers ;)
Whats your next plan of attack Josie jo, are you going to do another stim cycle?? Hope things improve for you and all of us :)
I am here as well. Beginning the fun of shoving crinone up my hoo har this morning eeek... Hoping my little embies are still growing. When they said they would give up update Thursday I was all cool about now I am dying to know what is happening!!! This whole thing is one giant waiting not patiently game!!
yay, crinone. :rolleyes: can you ring them joeve, i hate waiting...
O look at you all! Is it terrible of me to be glad I'm not alone?
I don't think I got sent an email letting me know people had replied. I'll check that out...
Andie- Thanks re the luck. I was wondering if I need to perhaps be more succinct in my sig. Now it's all laid out it seems to blab on a bit much. I'm resting at the moment then start back with a stim cycle in june or july. What are you up to cycle-wise?
Saffy- Yes- no champers for you! I'm steering clear of the tww thread but the very best of luck to you. When do you have your BT? Good luck distracting yourself till then
Joeve- mmmm crinone! Fingers crossed for you too!
Keep us posted ladies!
