just popping in to see how everyone is doing, hope you're all travelling well.
Dutchie, how did you go with the FS?
Infinity, how did your scan go? Hope you cooked up lots of eggs
WLB glad you've got a plan for the next few months, I hope you gets some answers from your FS about this cycle xx
hi to BecD, Hollybolly, BulieJ xxx
AFM waiting, waiting, waiting....spent Friday and Saturday at the babyshow, have never seen so many pregnant women and newborns together in one place. Surprisingly it wasn't as hard as I thought, my lovely friend (who had a stall there) thought it was because of all the fertility in the air
Dutchie & Anyos, hope you have both been getting busy with your men and we see those BFP's in under two weeks! hopefully some of that fertility in the air at the baby show rubbed off on you anyos.
WLAB - an o/s trip sounds exciting, here's to lots of fun for you in the coming months before you get back on the rollercoaster.
BecD - congrats on the weight loss! 1.5kg in a week is fabulous. Hoping boot camp is giving you results but not being too brutal on you.
Hi Mummy2Chloe (where are you - hope all is ok?), Hollybolly, Possums and anyone I've missed.
AFM, BT Sunday had me baseline, which is great, scan showed 7 follies on one and 6 on the other, biggest at nearly 12mm - which means i'm a few days off yet. FSH boosted to 225 daily now, another BT today and still baseline, Orgalutan shots start tonight. I have another scan Wednesday. FS says EPU will probably be the weekend. While this kind of cycle has less drugs and is shorter I'm actually finding it much more stressful as there are more scans and BT's and I'm runnning around to appointments all over the place almost every day. Feeling ok so far though - starting to get that heavy ovary feeling, fingers crossed there's a great egg in there for us.
infinity- sounds like your follies are brewing away nicely, so to speak, BOL with EPU on the weekend.
WLAB- oh how lovely, an o/s trip sounds wonderful. Enjoy the break from FS, appts and jabs. BOL with your FS appt on Wed.
M2C- Hope you are travelling well and enjoying making all those wedding plans.
Finally got a call back from FS and the plan for next cycle (if we even do one- I'm not keen but DP is) is to try another antagonist but just with clomid, no FSH and to start orgalutran earlier this time. I think they're only willing for me to keep trying because I'm young, not because they believe it will actually work which doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence but we'll see how we go. I also got the 'you need to think about ED' and that was horrible, so not ready. Anyway I'm yet to decide if we will do a cycle when AF arrives or wait until Nov as we have an appt with another FS on Oct 12th and we can't be cycling at the time. It'll be interesting to hear what she has to offer if anything!
I am terrible posting in here, I'm sorry
My poor journal has had a workout & a half!
WLAB - hoping you get some answers when you see your FS next... and I have everything crossed that this frozen little blastie is the one & has just been waiting to be put back in to mummy
Infinity - glad to hear those ovaries are getting busy... I have everything crossed that you get a perfect collection of eggs
Dutchie - Hoping a natural little miracle occurs this month & you don't need that cycle plan at all
Anyos - thinking of you
Bec - Best of luck with the weight loss.... 1.5kgs is a fabulous start!!!
Big hello to everyone else!
AFM - I'm 14DPO today... slowly going crazy as my blood test isn't until Wednesday
I have been a naughty girl & started with the HPT's at 10DPO
On the positive side of that though, I have had 2 lines every day... this mornings was nice & strong.
Trying to keep my head from racing ahead, as we all know as LTACers that its the blood test, HCG numbers & first scan that prove everything.... OMG bring on Wednesday!!! My blood test is 8.30am so at least I won't have to wait all day for the results! Am very nervous!
Infinity- it sounds like things are going nice and smoothly for you, all the best for your scan on wednesday, i will be thinking about you, hoping and praying that out of all the eggs you have, the golden one or two is in there xxx so sorry i havent been here much to help and support you through this cycle, but i am here now and i will be holding your hand all the way
Dutchie- it broke my heart to read about your cycle being cancelled, i know very well how horrible and devastating it is, if you ever need to talk i am ALWAYS here for you my darling xxx if it helps i would wait till nov to do your next cycle, just so you can see what your other FS has to say? and by waiting till nov, this will give you a little more time to heal and grieve over your last cycle. I am truely sorry i havent been around, i wish i could of been here to help you through this tough time. i completely understand your feelings about not being keen on doing another cycle. I rang my ivf clinic today to tell them that i wont be doing another cycle with them until march, which will be after our wedding, it was one of the hardest phone calls to make, but i feel that i need to put ivf on the back burner for once as for the last 7 yrs we have lived, breathed, ate and slept for babies, so i think i need a break ( as much as i dont want to) just so i can build up my strength again so when we do our last cycle in march, i can give everything i have!! if i tried to do a cycle now i think it would make me depressed and very stressed and thats not how i want my very last shot to be like. anyway hun i will be here and holding your hand with whatever you decide to do xxx
Holly- its stories like yours that keep giving me "hope" cos you and i have have been ttc our second babies for the same amount of years, and it always is a nice feeling when you here about another long long long ttcer having success, it keeps us "going"
i am sooooo happy and thrilled for you darl, wednesday feels like forever away lol
AFM- like i just said to dutchie, we wont be doing our 3rd and very last cycle till march but i know its for the best, but it doesnt stop it from hurt any less. But on a happy note, our wedding plans are going great and they are keeping me VERY busy, but i am loving it
i will try and come in here more often, i am missing you all heaps, i havent been on bb much at all lately, having a few withdrawls lol
M2C- thanks sweet girl for your kind words, and no need to aplogise for anything, I completely understand. I had such high hopes for this last cycle but it wasn't to be but we will give it one last go too. I have also decided to wait until Nov so I can go to this FS appt in Oct. It's hard having to wait and I understand how hard it must be for you to wait until next March to try again, waiting truly does suck at the best of times but it sounds like you could really do with a break, 7 years of constant trying is a damn long time and I can only applaud you hun but atleast when you do go back you should be refreshed and revived and able to put you all into it. It's good to hear your wedding plans are keeping you occupied in the meantime and I'm very glad to hear you are enjoying organising everything, that it's all going well and that you have something very positive to look forward to while you are waiting. Keep us posted!
Anyway hun, we'll all be here for you, cheering you on when you do return to cycle.
Holly- I cannot wait to hear about your BT results tomorrow, 1 more sleep to go, I'm so excited for you. Hurry up Wednesday morn!!!
infinity- Wishing you the best for your scan on Wed, sending you lots of follie growing vibes!
A big to WLAB, anyos, BecD, Possums and buliej hope your all well.
AFM- We have decided to do one last cycle in November, I like M2C really need to just have a break from it all if it doesn't succeed. Until then I'm just patiently waiting for the 12th when I will go and see a new FS and see if she has anything new to offer, so that should be interesting. I have also finally booked DP in to have this surgery (yay ) date is the 17th of Dec so that's something to look forward to and it should be here before we know it. Hopefully we'll be able to have a realistic chance at trying naturally which would be nice. FS would like me to go in and have a HSG done just to check my tubes too which is someting else to look forward to...not, FS said it's a bit of an uncomfortable procedure but no pain no gain hey. I just hope they're are not blocked because I guess if they are then IVF is our only option and that's a bit depressing to think about right now. Anyway, I have always wondered whether we would have more of a chance naturally since that doesn't require multiple eggs and I do O on my own, I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Dutchie - It is so apparent different FS's think so differently, one FS said to me "having a HSG was the way to go", and another I saw, said "it's a waste of time". It is quite an uncomfortable procedure, and I wonder why, your FS suggested it, and not a lap or something.
Hi loverlies
AFM: I am going public for my Lap (saving money, and it turns out one FS I saw does them at Mercy Hospital anyway) I really think it is the way to go for me, after all these cycle's, to check out what, if anything, is happening.
Ist letter with date - I was in ivf no 5 TWW
2nd letter with date - The day I fly out
I cannot believe it !
What are the chances, I really need this LAP, and dont have PHI, Im tired of paying outa pocket expenses now I wont get in before our FET in November .... I will have to pay $1000.00 outa for the bed fee (my fs will bulk bill my lap) I got offered a third job yesterday, I think I will have to take it
but i know its for the best, but it doesnt stop it from hurt any less. But on a happy note, our wedding plans are going great and they are keeping me VERY busy, but i am loving it 
to WLAB, anyos, BecD, Possums and buliej hope your all well.
