[Dutchie80]

Thanks Dusty.

M2C- I just wanted to let you know that I had the biggest blob of ewcm when I went to the toilet before, I assume I'm not Oing (I haven't missed a spray), actually hoping it's a positive sign that perhaps my E2 is rising.

[mummy2chloe]

dutchie hopefully thats a great sign about ewcm wooohoooo i think it might be, all the best for your scan on monday, what time is your scan? mine isnt till 1.45 then i have to drive home which is nearly 2hr drive so i wont be able to give everyone an update till monday late afternoon. will be thinking of you on monday, fingers crossed that we both get awesome results xxx

dusty your very right, i havent looked at it that way, we want quality eggs not quantity, thanks hun you always no how to make things better

[Dutchie80]

M2C- My scan is at 10:30am but the nurses don't usually call until the arvo. On Thurs. they didn't ring until well after 3pm. Fingers crossed for both of us.

Hi Ladies

Wouldloveabubba - Hope your wait is going well. I am keeping everything crossed for you and sending you galore! I think crinone is horrible - so yuck. Why does all support given for IVF have 'pregnancy' symptoms?? Not fair!!

Dutchie - so happy you are being given the time to 'catch-up'. EPU next week for you - you're nearly there! Will be crossing everything for some good eggies for you.

M2C - ewcm was something I had when stimming too - normal I'm told. Sorry things aren't going exactly to plan, but they never do do they? Hang in there, all the best for your scan and EPU. Crossing everything for good quality eggies for you too.

JBM - great to see you back and alive! Hoping your break is doing you good and your health is on the up. Not sure when I'm TTC again but we could be around the same time. Hoping the break brings us both what we want

MsPink - for not doing so great. Hoping today is a better day.

Huge hello to Loula, Possums, Cuddlepie, Dusty & Bluiej and to anyone I may have missed.

AFM - completely pretzled here with crossing everything for the ladies cycling or in the TWW. I really and truly hope you all get your BFP's that you deserve so much. Have a first brithday and a baby shower today so it's going to be a tough day - made tougher by the fact that currently I am not TTC and on a break. Will get through it though (possibly with the help of a few drinks ).

[mummy2chloe]

infintiy stay strong today hun xxx i agree have a drink or 2 or 10 lol hopefully it wont be long you and JBM will be back and feeling much better after having a break

dutchie hopefully we might have our epu around the sametime, i think mine if all goes well should be around wednesday or thursday

afm- i think i am starting to feel things, but i am to scared to believe my body lol when i go to sit down it hurts, when i do a wee it feels like my ovaries are going to fall out lol when i lay down flat on my back it hurts. hopefully these are all good signs that i am making more then 2 eggs lol

[Dutchie80]

M2C- sounds so promising. I've been having some cramping myself but nothing like you describe, I'm certainly not in any real discomfort when I do any of the activities you mentioned. Not sure when my EPU will be atm, I'm thinking perhaps later next week- Wed or Fri not sure but I'll most likely find out monday arvo when the nurses call back. Wishing us both the very best.

infinity- thanks for your well wishes hun. I hope the birthday and shower aren't too tough for you. I know that a TTC break can be hard sometimes, kind of a catch 22 really- you know sometimes they're needed but it can be tough too to just be 'waiting' when all you want to do is TTC. As M2C said have a drink or 2 (or 10)

[mummy2chloe]

dutchie- just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow, have everything crossed for you hun xxx

infinity- hope everything went well yesterday for you, i know how hard these things can be

afm- i have no idea whats going on, all the symptoms and feelings i had yesterday are now gone???? not to worry though, we will know everything tomorrow god i hope i get to make it to egg pick up!!

[Dutchie80]

Hey M2C- Try not to worry about it. The fact that you don't feel anything today definitely doesn't mean that nothing is happening. Wishing you the very best for your scan tomorrow too

infinity- I hope yesterday wasn't too hard for you and you were able to enjoy yourself.

[buliej]

Dutchie/M2C - good luck with the pick-up - hope you get lots of perfect eggs!

[Dutchie80]

Thanks buliej

[Cuddlepie]

Hello your lovely ladies, sorry have been MIA and lots to catch up...

WLB, I have everything crossed for you and Dutchie, looking forward to some good news for you too...

I have to say been enjoying a bit non-cycling days and no TTC in mind...I had my post op Sonohystergram to check the fibroid, apparently its all gone and I don't need another procedure, so YAY for that! Planning to start at the end of August to give myself a bit more break and Im loving the off-time. But I will be online more to check every one of you and cheering on the sideline!

Bring on some good news!

DH and I have been trying to conceive for last 4 years, 1 year with fertility clinic. I was diagnosed with PCOS and DH is all clear. We have done 4 AIH and 2 IVF, the first cycle was cancelled as I got OHSS no embryos were able to be frozen. 2nd IVF attempt with ICSI, we got 11 eggs and 5 fertilised. Had 2 replaced and BFN. It has been a very long emotional rollercoaster and we are both hoping that our next treatment will be a success with our 3 frozen embryos.
If anyone is in a similar situation, I would love to hear any advice on how you deal with the let downs of not becoming pregnant. Also would love to hear success stories.
that our little bundle of joy will come to us soon.

[Dutchie80]

CPie- Thanks for your well wishes hun.
Yay for not needing another procedure really happy that it's all cleared up and you can concentrate on the things you want like a bit of YOU time. So nice to hear you are enjoying your break from TTC and AC too.

Bella- to BB, the best forum around IMO. IVF is such a difficult, emotional journey with lots of highs and lows. I think everyone deals with not becoming pregnant in different ways but for me, I deal with the disappointments partly by continuing to have hope that the next cycle is a fresh, new opportunity and could be 'the one' that gives us our BFP. I'm afraid I can't offer you a story of success YET but there are many ladies on BB that have had IVF/AC success. I know it gets hard but don't lose hope- it can and does happen! Wishing you the very best for your next FET.

M2C- Hope your going well hun, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Smithy- Your a sweety! Hope you and Charlie are going great guns. Just watched your 9 week montage and loved it- ur doing so well.

buliej- Hope your TWW is flying and treating you kindly. I have everything crossed for you.

hey CP just wanted to jump on before work and tell you that a lady a work had the same, FS told her to wait two cycles before going to IVF (DH sperm) she asked if she could wait one more week and hey presto! three weeks after her op! she is now 15 week pg. so very exciting for her. TBH i dont think she could have coped with IVF at all so she was very lucky. i think she had een trying for over a year naturally.

welcome Bella! Good luck with you next cycle, do you know what you will be trying differently. I have done 13 cycles of IVF as you will see in my signature! i am one of the unfortunate ones who has still not had success, but with a major op last year i hope that does the trick! the ladies in here are very supportive.

M2C, infinity, Duchie you ladies have been keeping this thread rolling, thinking of you while you are cycling.

[Dutchie80]

Hey guys,

M2C- How did you go today hun, thinking of you.

Loula- Hope things are well with you.

WLAB & buliej- Just sending you both a bunch of the stickiest Hope your TWWs are flying.

to bella, Dusty, CPie, Smithy, infinity and anyone I might have missed, hope things are well with all of you.

AFM- Today is CD 12 and day 10 of injections and my scan this morn showed a total of 7 follies, the largest on the left now at 25mm and all the rest are growing slowly and are at 10mm. Nurses called this arvo and advised me that we're going to let the largest go and try and grow the 6 others to maturity. So for now I just keep going with the gonal and have another scan on friday. Lining has also improved greatly and is at 9mm (was 4.8mm last thurs.) which is good. Very happy with progress at this point so I guess I just wait until friday now and then see where we are then. Really hoping I have atleast 4 or 5 in there.

[Dutchie80]

Hey M2C- I just read your blog hun and I wanted to give you the biggest cyber I'm so so sorry sweets.

WLAB- I read your post in your TTC buddies thread and I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry about your BFN, I really was hoping this was your time

[mummy2chloe]

dutchie- i just want to wish you all the best for you cycle. i have everything crossed that you get an awesome result, i will be sticking around here to see how you go hun, i am still here supporting you all the way xxx

WLB- i am so so sorry that this wasnt your month, we are all here if you need anything xxx

afm- in case you guys havent read my blog, my cycle has been cancelled AGAIN!! i have OHSS and i am absolutely devastated and in pain!! i begged them to still do EPU and do a freeze all but fs said my E2 levels are too high, he would of done an freeze all if they were under 25000 but they came back at 28976 so he said no way!! so right now i dont know what we are going to do, this was suppose to beour last cycle, so we could move on with our lives and now we are stuck in this hell whole again, every ivf cycle i have done has been cancelled, i dont know if i can risk a 3rd being cancelled, but i cant walk away knowing i havent given it my all!! god i hate this, it wasnt suppose to be this way!!

sorry for the selfish post, just feeling really lonely and have no one that understands IRL
