Long Term AC chat thread #3

Heya Saff!

Yeah, natural cycle. Not that it is going to work :rolleyes: Will probably do a Stim starting last week of December.

Funny how our cycles are aligning. Perhaps we will get UTD at the same time too!

yep thats a good plan!
Its annoying when you 'know' a natural cycle isn't going to work but miracles happen (esp at christmas) and you have to give it a go or else its definately not going to work.... for some reason....not sure why that is.....but I also don't know how people get pregnant naturally or through IVF so I am in the dark all round!

:dunno: It's a mystery to me too...

At this point in time it seems NOT having sex is probably just as likely to work as doing it every day :rolleyes:

Okay so using seratec opks in my stupidly worthless attempt to get pg naturally this month. Today is cd14.

Anyway, tested Monday and the test line was pretty dark, but not quite as dark as control. Tested yesterday, same result.
Tested today and the line is much fainter :(
I am not sure if it has to do with urine concentration so I will retest in a couple of hours after not drinking or weeing. But the really fricken annoying thing is we BDed on Monday night. All good. We PLANNED to last night but both fell asleep without reaching third base (iykwim) :(
We WILL get one in tonight but I am scared I have missed it. :(

What are the fricken chances....grrrrrrrrrr

Nah, just did another test (one hour and 15 minutes after the first...I was busting!!!) Line still really faint.

Think I have surged. Damn I wish we had BDed last night. Damn DP and his need to sleep!!! :rolleyes: :lol:

Oh well, even though I probably o'ed yesterday, I will jump DP tonight regardless.

Oh yeah, no ewcm to speak of but since starting assisted conception, that has been a little hit and miss *sigh*...

If surge was yesterday then o is probably today get busy!!!

oh my god seretac never worked for me, only ever got. a faint line, don't know why. How annoying, I find the internet cheapy opks didn't ever have a darker line either, just an almost dark line then fainter it is really frustrating, when you miss it. Still time for you n2l.

Posted in the other thread that I got an absolute positive on the opk today (wee must have been too diluted yesterday?), so it looks like a few more nights getting jiggy wid it is in order...

TMI ALERT...

Woo hoo!! Blood tinged EWCM :D :D :D

Ladies and gentlemen...we have ovulation!! :leap:

well done N2l- hope you caught this one.
I ovualted wednesday night, only dtd tues night ( haven't seen DH all week basically) so don't know if it was enough but transfer is next tues os will have to wait for that, was using natural as a back up plan. I was thinking, I wonder how many FET babies are actually a natural conception not the thawed embie, you would never know.
We are almost in sync, see you in the tww!! I won't count mine starting until next week, cos I want to have a couple of drinks tonight at a xmas function, so if I pretend my tww only starts after the transfer then I'm safe to do that lol.
This is a really slack cycle for me, I havent' taken my chinese herbs and I forgot to start my progesterone last night cos i only got home at 1am from cold chisel, was sooo tired, so will start tonight. Naughty me, its too close to xmas, I'm regretting doing it actually cos I havent' been able to concentrate on it at all, but maybe thats a good thing!

Omg hon, how did I miss this! Congratulations beautiful lady.

Nothing new with me, after a gazillion cancelled IVF attempts we had an egg collection in August but after fertilisation all the embryos died. We have just done two rounds of donor insemination, both negative.

So we are out for now. Trying to access donor embryos but nobody seems willing to donate, most people seem to choose to discard instead which is sad. Feeling pretty miserable at e moment. 14 IVF's and 2 IUI's = :-(

Just having a quick little sneak in to say hi - so "HI!!!!"

Bec - giant big :grouphug: to you hunny. I think it is really sad that people do choose to discard their unwanted but perfectly good embryos. Specially when anyone going through ivf knows what a heartwrenching journey it is so if it was possible, wouldn't it make sense to want to try and help someone else? If you were in that position to be able to donate? Hell, if I ever had excess ones (hah, not likely :rolleyes:), I would like to think that I would consider donating them. I hope you can come across some soon, chick - hugs to you

Saff/N2L - how are you my lovelies? Wishing you both huge, enormous truckloads of babydust and stickyvibes and anything else that may bring a lovely little Christmas/New Year miracle

Me - been a stressful week - tomorrow is d-day to see if these little ones survived the dramas of last week. Trying not to think about it lalalalalalalalalal

Melissa I have been thinking about you all day wondering how you are, glad you popped in- best of luck tomorrow, you can do it!! xx

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!
