Trigger shot done ;)
Good Luck Dutchie!
woohoo dutchie!!!!!
now bring on wednesday and then PUPO :)
xxxx
Thanks heaps M2C & buliej
buliej- a quiet congrats to you. Here's to your #s doubling. :goodluck::goodluck::goodluck:
Anyos so sorry about your result yesterday. Hopefully you get some great news today. It does only take one egg! Take care of yourself. If all goes well when will transfer be? Sending you 'fertilisation' vibes! Will be checking in on you later.
Dutchie sometimes the amount of scans gets crazy - my FS is scan mad. I've had dildo-cam more times than I could count. Hooray for the Trigger Shot being done - hope it wasn't too painful, I found that shot to be a biatch. Fingers crossed you will be PUPO by the end of the week?
WLB the pill is evil! It does seem so strange to be taking it. I really struggle on it - last time I crashed my car (just drove straight in to another car) and had many emotional breakdowns (one of the more memorable ones saw me on the kitchen floor crying and screaming "when's it going to be about me!!?) lol!
All the luck in the world for this cycle. What's the plan this time around (if you care to share?) down reg? blasts? meds?
M2C hoping your ovaries are in tip top shape at scan next week. We might be able to be buddies for our next cycles. Let's get pregnant together :)
Loula I'm around, not TTC right now so not much to contribute on here at the moment. Hopefully will start IVF take 2 in late August/early Sept. Thanks for thinking of me :) looking forward to hearing how you're doing.
Buliej did I miss something super important??? I hope this is it for you! off to stalk your posts lol.
Hello to all the other LTTTCer's. Can't wait for some of our MIA ladies to come back (Possums - hope you are doing ok). Am missing some of our 'graduates' too - do you think it's ok to stalk them and post to them in the preg or other threads?
:rofl::rofl::rofl: Lord have mercy, that's hilarious infinity. Yep, definitely glad to have that part over ;):
anyos- :goodluck::crossfingers::goodluck: for a great fert. report today, I'm thinking of you.
hey Dutchie, thank you for your msg, sadly not good news this time around :cry: My FS wants to see me this afternoon to discuss next steps and hopefully we can look at changing a few things around for the next round. Think I need a drink (or 3)...
Infinity, M2C, Loula, thank you for your kind words and support. Hoping all is good with you as well
:bluedust: for everyone!
anyos- I'm so sorry it wasn't better news today. Hoping your FS can make necessary changes so this does not repeat itself next cycle. Let us know how you get on, I'd be interested in hearing what plan your FS has. Take care and enjoy your drink (or 3) ;)
anyos - so much for my 'fertilisation' vibes - I'm so very sorry.:comfort: Hoping your FS can bring some hope to the meeting for you. It is so very unfair to have gone through the stims etc for such a crushing result. Take care and jump in here for support if you need it.
dutchie & Infinity :hug:
Our FS told us yesterday that she had a few options to deal with empty follicles and I'll post her suggestions tonight.
Anyos - I am so sorry you havent had any luck this cycle, I hope your fs is very forthcoming with information, and the info is just what you need to get to ET
Dutchie - Enjoyin you DFD hun
Infinity - Hello sweets, I am not doing anything special this cycle, except a high protein diet, and popping all my vitamins, which I believe improved my egg quality last epu, we r raising my puregon to 450, the highest dose ever, I am going to up the anty with my LP support, and will be pumping myself with every hormone known to man, to try to get a sticky one. Completly understand the emotional meltdown, dh said to me yesterday "your just not yourself are you hun", I said I know "pass me another wine" ha ....
M2C - Hi babe
anyos - hope your FS has some suggestions - I'd be very interested in reading them when you are ready to post
infinity - i'm laying low right now - saw GP again at her request and will have a few more BTs before the week is out and then will feel a bit more confident
WLAB - are you doing Colorado for the luteral phase? or other support? good luck with your meeting with the new FS.
quick "hi" to everyone else.
Hello my lovely ladies,
Ok, I admit it, I still stalk you all daily :redface: and am sending you all my best thoughts and wishes.
Julie, I have everything crossed for you for a sticky one, praying your levels rise nicely by Friday.
WLAB, GL with pill popping and with the higher dose, I hope this is the one.
Dutchie, all the best for EPU tomorrow, fingers crossed for some lovely eggs and even more beautiful embies.
Infinity, thinking of you, hoping and praying your coming stim cycle will be the one for you.
Loula, I hope you are well, sounds like you had fun with your BB friends.
M2C, hoping you are ok, hope AF arrives for you soon and you can move on to your next cycle. I am sure now that you and your FS know how your body responds you will get the right dose with the right amount of follies.
Anyos, so sorry to hear your news, wishing you all the best for next try.
Sara, I hope you are well hunny, thinking of you.
Cuddlepie, waiting to cheer you on for your coming cycle.
Thinking of you all always, love and hugs xx
infinity- Yeah for sure, I'm always quietly reading in the PALTTTC thread, watching everyone progress and thinking 'one day' and I remember reading a post from one of the ladies in there, and at the end of her post she was addressing the 'lurkers' and the gals who posted there who weren't actually pg 'yet', saying how they loved others coming in to see how they are going and offering encouragement and support- the more the merrier. I've wanted to jump in there and post now and again but never worked up enough courage :redface: After reading that post, I feel much more comfortable about posting in there while not yet pg myself, should I want to in future. HIH.:
BDT- It's nice to hear from you. Not much longer to go until your 12wk scan. I'll be stalking the PALTTTC thread to see how you go. Thinking of you always xx
WLAB- lovin' my DFD thanks hun.
anyos i just wanted to give you a big warm hug and i cant tell you how sorry i am to hear that things havent gone well, i hope and pray that your fs can make things work better next cycle, we are always here if you ever need anything xxx
dutchie all the best for tomorrow, so exciting!! will be lurking to see how things go :)
buliej i cant imagine how stressful this would be for you right now, but try and focus on the good side of it, you got a BFP and thats an awesome achievement :) i hope and pray that your levels double and that things go smoothly for you. i am sending you lots of sticky vibes but i am sure you wont need them, will be stalking you to see how you go lol
BDT its awesome to hear from you :) i too have been stalking the paltttc just to see how everyone is going
wlb how are you feeling hun, hopefully the pill isnt being evil to you and that your feeling good xxx
infinity sounds like we could be cycling together :) i totally agree " LETS GET PREGNANT" woohoo
loula it sounds like you had a ball with your meet up, wish i lived closer to everyone so i could come lol
oh bugger i really hope i havent missed anyone out, i am really bad a doing these lol, if i have left anyone out i am soooo sooo sorry and i did not mean it.
lots of love to you all
Dutchie, hope all went beautifully this morning :pray:
M2C, BDT, BulieJ, WLB, Infinity, thank you for your messages, I'm so grateful to have found this forum/thread. You're an amazing group of women and I hope that we all have good news soon :grouphug:
AFM spent an hour with my gorgeous FS yesterday and she went through all my results/options etc. Her view seems to be that although I have diminished reserve we're not at the end of the road since the follicles were growing well & hormonal levels were good. She thinks that the trigger may not have been strong enough for me and has seen this before in her patients. She's given us a few options (i) we continue with DHEA for another 6 weeks and then try another cycle, (ii) we continue with a flare-cycle in two weeks or (iii) we try naturally for a few months (she has a few patients who have conceived naturally after a IVF cycle).
I just emailed her a whole list of other questions and hopefully will have some more information by the end of the week. At this stage we're leaning towards going with another cycle straight away and changing the meds/trigger shot. In the meantime I'm doing extra sessions of acupuncture and herbs until I start the drugs again.
I did some research into 'empty follicles' and came across a very interesting response from Dr Sher from SIRM in the US - Infertility hurts: no such thing as empty follicles - would be very interested in your thoughts.
(http://www.ivfauthority.com/2009/07/...retrieval.html - similar article by same DR)
Also, has anyone else had any experience with DHEA?

Dutchie, fingers cross for everything run smoothly and you get lots of eggies!
