Long Term Assisted Conception - 2009 #3

Oh Julie, I'm so, so sorry to hear your news :(

Sometimes there are no words, but I admire your strength & determination... this road is so horrible - more often than is fair... please take it easy on yourself & lots of strength your way :hug:

Lou - :hug: I'm still waiting for those numbers tomorrow... me, the ever optimist (as long as we're not talking about myself of course :rolleyes:).... have sent you a text this morning hun... all of my love as always xoxo

To everyone else - wow there are a lot of us in here.... when I first joined in here years ago there was only a handful - here's hoping we all pass this next step & get into the pregnancy threads :hug:

I've got a GP appointment today just to ask to have some bloods done - wanting to get a progesterone test done for CD21 before next cycle (this was a major factor last cycle) - and my NP wants to check zinc levels & a few other things.
Everything going well, we should be starting around 24th this month give or take a few days depending on AF.

Lots of thoughts for everyone xxx

Just jumping in to wish Bec much luck with egg collection tomorrow :crossfingers: for lots of lil' eggs ;)

Holly- I hope your CD21 P4 test goes well. :crossfingers: your other nutrient levels are all good too. Your getting so close now.

Bec - so exciting, wishing you the very best for tomorrow. i think you have had a case of OHSS is the past? hoping everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow

Gosh I have no idea why you wouldn't be able to either I'll check it out and see what I can find. Thanks for the well wishes, I'll be cheering you on too ;)
I saw in your siggy that your planning your wedding...ooooh how exciting all the very best


ETA- I just checked out my blog and the control panel and I can find no reason why you shouldn't be able to post comments. I might ask one of the mods. Thanks for lettin' me know hun, hopefully I'll get you back onboard asap

dutchie, i just tried to post in your blog again but i cant find the little thing saying " post a comment" and there is no box for me to write in??? i can post in other peoples blogs cos i just made a comment in someone else's blog?? its very strange cos i have made comments in your blog before but now i cant??

oh and yeah we have decided its time to stop putting off our wedding, we always said that ivf was more important in our eyes then spending money on a wedding, but now that this is our last stim cycle i can now start making plans, i am so excited and very happy :) we have a date set which is the 1st of may next year ( 9mths away :)) but if we fall pregnant with this last ivf cycle then i would be just about ready to pop around that time, so we will bring the wedding forward to the end of this year.

That's no good M2C as I said I had a look but I can't see what the problem might be, I have posted a thread in blog help and tips I'll go back there now and post there was no post comment button when you visit, hopefully someone can fix it as I'm clueless.
It's so weird that you can't now coz I know you've commented in my blog before......

It suxs to have to put things on hold due to IVF. So glad now that you're able to put efforts into other important things bring on the 1st may (or earlier like, end of the year would be even better ;))

Bec - I hope your EPU went well and your embryo's are dividing nicely

Holly - I had a little look at your TTC journal, and I read about your low prog levels, after high LP support, and you have given me the idea to test my prog 5 days after ET, which the nurse gladly agreed, as I always get af way too early after et. A new nurse was there, she told me that she went to a product session on Crinone, and even though it raises our level of prog in system, it won't show up on a BT .. Interesting, I think you may have used Prog Pess (as have I ) I feel like ringing the manufacturer and asking do they show in BT results ?? :think: If you remember could you reiterate this with your FS and let me know his thoughts on the matter

Hi to all my lovely friends :hello:

I picked up all my meds today, Im going to try 2 x Crinone a day, + 3 Pregnyl shots on day 3,6 & 9, if all goes well and I get to the LP, I have a feeling I need more support, so I will be pumped up with as much as I can, this time round, oh and the P4 BT 5 days after transfer (you never know) I feel a bit excited now I have my drugs ...

WLB- woooohoooo for picking up your drugs, you getting into the business end of things now :) so happpy and excited for you, it sounds like you have a great plan ahead of you e.g for prog support. fingers crossed that its just what you need to get your forever baby :) and keep us up to date with what you and holly find out about prog pess and all that, its very interesting!

Bec- how is everything going sweetie? hopefully you aren't to sore and you are drinking plenty of fluids to keep OHSS at bay, thinking of you xxx

dutchie- this blog stuff is very strange?? i still cant post!! not to worry hopefully someone will work it out for us lol it might not even be your end that has the problem, maybe i have done something wrong?? but like i said i can post in other peoples blogs, I HAVE NO IDEA lol i am sure we will get it sorted.

WLAB - great news and positive vibes for this cycle! it is very interesting with regards to the P4. i did read that it has better results when used 'up the bum' so i dont know how you feel about that? combinding with the HCG shots are also a great way to go (i believe) however it doesnt help when you are POAS crazy like me lol

looking forward to hearing your news soon sweets

Hey Loula, I read that too about going backwards with the P4 Suppositries

lol eeeewwwww

thanks

Oh no - I meant to put an exclamation mark at the end and I put a question mark :ROFL:

And I quickly typed an answer at work, I didn't even think !! I better move that post

Thanks for thinking of me guys. We ended up with 33 eggs - 24 mature and 9 that can be used with IVM - no wonder I am so sore! Unfortunately because of the large haul this will have to be a freeze-all cycle. I'm already feeling pretty unwell, so praying desperately that I pick up soon and it doesnt degenirate into ohss.

WOW bec those are AWESOME numbers, well done hunnie xxxx

now go and get some rest and drink PLENTY of fluids, and if you get to bad go straight to the hospital, you need to be in your best shape when you have you transfer, which will hopefully be next mnth or whenever your ovaries have recovered

thinking of you darl xxxx

Thanks for letting us know Bec, 33 eggs is the biggest number I have ever heard of. I hope you have the opportunity to rest as much as you can, and prevent ohss from occuring, I hope everything works out well for you
