firstly anyos - congratulations Its always nice to get a good news story in here dutchie - sorry to hear your cycle didnt go to plan, i couldnt handle not going to transfer again, to go through all of that for nothing - i understand why you chose to cancel. sending you my lovexxx
everyone else - thinking of you all at christmas time, i hope that this time next christmas we are all pregnant or playing with our babies.
afm - just waiting for my clinic appointment next month, will be using anonymous sperm from concept fertility clinic in perth. new fs appt is on jan 5, then counselling and clinic appt on jan 11, and our last adoption seminar on jan 14 - its all happening!
Didn't think this would happen but I am back here one very last time, will need all of your support as I am doing this against my better judgement. I had given up on my own eggs but since I haven't yet found a donor and it is the very last oportunity to access PGD services (next month the price is going up by another $4000 out-of-pocket) DP and I were considering to go again.
Went in for FSH today and it is 9.8 - which in the greater scheme of things is probably not exactly great but probably the best one I ever had, so I am taking this as that the fertility goddess has spoken and here we go again. Still pretty emotional and upset (cried all the way on the train on the way in to the BT) and haven't yet decided 100% but it looks Like I am starting on the drugs again tomorrow morning.
Sara ill be praying for you hun. making the decision for the last cycle is something i am only just accepting, i hope this is successful for you sweets
Sara, I know how tough the decision is but glad you've made one and will be here for you 100%. FSH level sounds great, I guess the fertility godness is giving you a thumb up really and confirmed that you've made the right decision. I hope at the end of all this is a very big surprise hunny!
Just to update all we got a BFP on the 7/12 after a case of OHSS from our last EPU on 26/11 where we got 15 blasties. i am 5weeks 6 days today
Ive had a few days of spotting but my HCG have been coming back on track, then yesterday the bleeding started a lot heaver. Ive got another HCG bt today with my GP and will get the results later tis afternoon.
the thing is ive had no symptoms at all with this pg but HCG have been the best ever and P4 has been through the roof!last HCG at 25 dpo was 4960 and P4 was 1040 then cramping started that day followed by the bleeding and we are megga stressed in the household at the moment. we had a holiday booked for the new year but FS wont let me travel so DH is going alone as it is for a wedding OS, so i feel totally lost and alone.
We have our scan booked in for 4/1 if i make it to then without more bleeding and cramping. i seem to only get as far as 6 weeks and my world starts to crumble.
This was our last cycle trying and we are hoping to use our embies with a surro which we are going to start investigating in the new year, we have had an offer from two women one i am yet to meet so it is exciting, scary, but exciting. i dont want my heart broken any more or it will stop.
With christmas around the corner the clinics are winding up and my FS is away (typical) but i want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday and best wishes for 2010
Smithy, thansk so much for dropping in to wish me luck, hope everthing is well with you, have to check on you in the other forum.
Loula: I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. I understand if you want to give up on this pregnancy but please let me have some hope for you - you know Dusty didn't have any pregnancy symtoms and I've heard the same from other girls, it does not mean that it is a BO, hope the bleeding and spotting stops and this bub will be a sticky one. It's a good idea to keep the surrogacy in mind as a back-up planit certainly will help emotionally which is the main thing, I am mainly posting in the aussie egg donors forum with the same username, there are a number of girls with surrogacy if you're interested.
Bec: Nice to hear from you and thanks so much for your support - where are you up too?
Ms Pink : haven't talk to you for a long time, nice to hear from you, thanks for your support.
Cuddlepie: Thanks so much for always being so supportive - how is the Christmas decorations going, your house must look so elegant.

Looks like everything is on track for me, lining at 5mm, Estrogen at 1100, nine follies four of them between 8 and 12 mm. Feeling better about it this time as I know the next step will be back to looking for an egg donor which would give me a much better chance.
We'll be going to a nativity paly this afternoon and afterwards I'll be allowed to open one present
Have an organic chicken in the fridge for defrosting which I'll make tomorrow, must admit I've never roasted a whole bird in the oven, so actually very much looking forward to it, already looking up recipes for herb stuffing, will use some fresh herbs from the garden, bought a roasting tray today so I am all set. Also got a nice crystal for the tree today.
Have the next scan and BT on Saturday so DP and I are thinkign of getting up real early and going to the sales beforehand - have never done that before so it should be fun.
Hi everyone, I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, am thinking of you all and hoping and praying 2010 brings you your dreams, will have everything crossed for you and will be cheering you from the sidelines as always. Love and best wishes xx
Just an update, scan today showed one follie at 14, one at 16 and one lagging behind at 9mm, Estrogen at 3400. It looks like the very best we could hope for are 2 eggs, maybe less - my doctor had suggested it we'dly see one or two follies to cancel beofre we even started, she suggested now to give it two more days and see what another scan and test shows on Monday, that afternoon we will then probably either trigger or cancel.
I am very calm and even kind of relieved about it. The way I am feeling is very different as in any of my other cycles, I am truly past the despair about the failing of my ovaries that accompanied me before. I am very glad we did this whatever we decide on Monday I know that I have made peace with probably not being able to have a fully biological child, it is just not the problem, I want us to become a family and it looks like we just can't do it on our own.
Otherwise very much enjoing Chirstmas, we roasted an organic chuck yesterday which was very yummy - the meows got their share and were pretty exited about it, James even boiled the bones afterwards to make some "Chicken-water" for the meows. I am teasing him that he rather cooks for his meows then for me
Miss Magpie: Nice to hear from you thanks for your support
Baby Dreamtime: thansk for dropping in, hope you had a nice Christmas too.
Sara, I am so glad to hear you are feeling so strong! I hope your follies grow strong. Good luck for Monday!
Just an update from me:
Blood test on Day 9 showed my estrodiol at 4386. Went for my second scan today on Day 11, and I have 20 follicles on the Right and 16 on the left. They are a range of sizes, but about 15 of them are 15 - 17mm. I have my HCG injection tomorrow, and then EPU on Tuesday! Feeling very bloated and a little uncomfortable, but hopefully it doesn't get too bad, and I don't have OHS, cos if I do they won't put the embryo's back in
Eating lots of protein - egg whites and chicken breasts and milk!! And very grateful Idon't start work again until 4th of January. Can't even enjoy the sales cos it's not very comfortable walking around. The dogs aren't too happy with me sending my DH to do most of their walks, or going myself, but only taking them for short ones!!
