JBM - I was just thinking about you the other day and was hoping you would be back here soon. I am crossing my fingers for you that it only takes this one more time and you will have the one to hold forever.:D

Hi JBM - made me laugh - thanks. Good good luck
Molly girl - sending you an angel prayer to pull you up, very tough time for you. Stay in touch if it helps.
Loula - got everything crossed for you
Ms Pink - hi hope you are well
Saph - Hi
Babytruj - good egg growing, have a good break. Yes I had OHSS twice due to too much FSH, Yuks ville. Despite my advancing age, I get lots of eggs. on the scan after that my ovaries looked like craters on the moon. They say keep up the protein and lower the carbs to help get over it, took about 5 days of really uncomfortable for me, as in couldn't get off the couch. I went to new FS after that, and told him no more than 250FSH.
Bec D, MummytoC and other girls - what a lovely bunch you all are
AFM - Was wondering why so grumpy today, then realised PMT has come to visit! Usually only a morning and once I realise what it is, start to get over it. Was going to sort some things out at the bank, but I'd be too bolshie, so leave it till wed!
Start this cycle this week. Stress.
Was very encouraged by the lady who had a baby at 48 after being in the fires. Amazing. Spent yesterday in garden putting down some concrete pavers, really hard work, thourouly enjoyed it (got bit sun burnt). Having lunch with friend today - yeahhhh.
I like this new thing where you can look down and see recent posts that's handy.
SamandPoppy - I was only on 150 of FSH. But I am glad to know it wasn't just me who suffered with it:) And I didn't realise how sore it could be at first. I was able to get off the couch - but not much. I wasn't really warned too much of the side effects, and didn't realise that the bloatedness takes so long to clear down.
Sounds like you had a good weekend;)
Thanks for the post S&P, ive just got back from the hospital where they discovered a subchorionic heamorrage, this doe increase my risk of MC but i dont know how much? i have some cramping and have been told to watch the bleeding
I hope everyone is enjoying the weather and keeping cool gl with your upcoming cycles xx
sam&poppy: darn PMT, hope you have a good week
babytruj: hi, yeah bloated tummy, i thought mine would never go away, took ages, don't remember how long, but think we need a break after all that. good luck and who cares if you spend the day on the couch. sounds good to me.
loula: hope all is ok. good luck
AFM: nothing today, more HOT weather, prob stay indoors again.
i am getting excited as it is getting closer for us to do our next IVF/ICSI. i'll be booking in for another referral this week. woohoo
remind me of this as i am sure when i am bloated i will not be feeling excited. LOL
I am new to BB, but have just got back on the rollercoaster and had a cancelled FET last month. I couldn't believe how upset I was but being back at the clinic reminded me of the tough and emotional journey trying to conceive is. I thought I would look at some of the forums to get some support as you all know too well this is a journey that only we experience, as telling everyone seems to just add to the burden.
On top of this my 37 year old sister just announced her pregnancy, on her first try on course. She was very sensitive when she told me as she knows how tough it has been for us. We tried for 3 years before my daughter was born but after having to cancel last month as my body wasn't responding, I feel back to where I was before.
I am currently on my TWW after a transfer yesterday, but I just have no faith - or is this because our bodies don't allow us to get excited to avoid the horrible dissapointment?
hi lairdoz. welcome
yes i do agree we are the only ones who really understand. it was nice of your sis to be sensitive but it must still hurt.
good luck to you.
Hi Lairdoz - Very welcome here. It sure is a rollercoaster. welcome. I decided not to tell anyone except 1 friend for sympathy who has done it and one other friend to tell me to get up and over it when I needed it. Bit weird as I am used to telling all. Have caught myself a few times about to discuss it and remebered not to!! Very silly.
Loula - what on earth is that subthingyme heamorage - Ok I googled it. Crossed fingers for you and hope you are not too uncomfortable physically (or mentally)... urgh.
JMB - thanks for your ping, i have no idea what to do to save it, so excuse if am supposed to do something.
babytruj- yeah I'm paranoid about it. so yuk.
AFM - am growing eggs lots, can feel them. Get paranoid about not getting too many and then OHSS, and firgur that too many = less quality. Am on FSH 250, luveris (asked for that 2 cycles ago, finally got it), dexamethazone (similar to prednisolone) asprin, blah blah blah. the short cylcle is so much shorter! don't know if better. Scan Wed, probably pick up will be Mon.
SamandPoppy - What is a short cycle? And why the Luveris, dexamethazone and asprin? What are all those for?
Lairdoz, welcome
Loula - How are you feeling?
Hope everyone is feeling ok.
AFM, I am just waiting. Feeling much better now, but cn't do FET till my March cycle. Trying to plan a trip somewhere, but the costs are so high, and I feel so bad about spending the money...
I just got my BFN, I knew it already as I bought my first ever HPT this morning after my fourth night in a row of not sleeping. I've lost 2 kgs (and I'm not very big to start with) from the stress of waiting. I thought I would be fine as I have done the TWW many times before but I forgot how hard it is. This time I'm not working so don't have anything to distract me and am going insane thinking about it all the time. No-one knows and even if they did, they can't do anything. In addition to my sister announcing two weeks ago her first-month success at getting pregnant, I just had a friend on Friday last week tell me she was pregnant but doesn't want to be. Why does this have to be NOW when I want to be pregnant again. I want to tell her to go away because I am in no position to be supportive but of course she doesn't know we are trying. Then the bills come in, God this is so hard! :crying:
Lairdoz - I am sorry to hear the news. Just hang in there. You have a beautiful daughter, and baby #2 is waiting for you somewhere, just give him a chance.
Try not to stress too much, and if people around you are pregnant and it is too hard, then stay away for a little bit. But be happy for them! It is hard knowing that there are people out there who fall pregnant "accidentally" when we in here wish that could happen to us, but everything happens for a reason, and your friend who is not ready, well it is probably just her time, and she is pregnant for a reason that is above her and you and all of us in here.
Your next FET is soon, which is very lucky for you. Try and relax a little before hand and get your body and mind in to the right place.
Thanks Babytruj - I was just having my crying day. I know that it might seem trite that if I have a daughter I shouldn't be upset and should be grateful to have her (which I am every single day) - The only person I told today, my husband, rang me three hours after I texted him (his PA reads his e-mails and he never answers his phone) and all I remember him saying was 'So how much did that cost us'. I just wanted him to say 'I'm sorry, that must be really hard'. He is lovely but sometimes boys just don't know what to say!
I have been happy for other people when they get pregnant, but it's hard sometimes. - I just stuck my neck out to get my friend a job, she had the interview on Wednesday then tells me on Friday she's pregnant! Grrrr
I'm not sure if I can start FET this month, have to wait and see if my progesterone goes down on Friday.
Your starting in FET in March? Bugger the money, take a holiday!
Samandpoppy - Hope all goes well in the next couple of days :)
babytruj: wont be long til march, good luck, and maybe a cheaper holiday is an option. good luck with that.:D
lairdoz: so sorry to hear this, it does drive you insane, the TWW that is. i'm sending you a BIG HUG :comfort:
as for DH, he must be related to mine ?! LOL men??!! sometimes they can be so thoughtless.
they do not really understand what we're going thru. hope you are feeling better soon.:grouphug:
AFM: well DH and i went to docs yesterday and got our refferals for next IVF/ICSI, i am so excited about this it seems so long since we've done anything.
the doc was a bit insensitive, another man, but we got the refferals. yipee.
Lairdoz - im so sorry to have read your news, getting the call or even af before the call is so hard, please take the time you need to heal, something i always found helpful was to review my cycle with my FS every time, and just so i felt like i was doing somthing different or being proactive i would suggest more test or to try something new. my FS was alway happy to go along with what i ssuggested but i was always the one bring up new things, which was frustrating in a way.
BT, yay for march, it will come around quick, i always hate waiting, you would think you would get used to it after so many cycles but i think it gets harder lol. A holiday sounds good too, but only as long as you dont feel bad, there is nothing worse than going away and stressing so look around and maybe even think about a local holiday just somewhere you can go be together and re coop.
JBM not long for you now either, starting a cycle wether it be a stim or a fet is always so exciting, fearfull but exciting, it brings with it new hope i wish you the very best x
S&P how are you going with your current cycle, growing big fat eggies i hope! i took royal jelly with my last cycle and when they told me my follies were looking a bit small i doubled my RJ dose and when i went back for a scan two days later they nearly had a fit, told me to stop all meds as i was going straight in for EPU after trigger that night! was a bit of a shock, i also produce lots and got 22 that time (not the most i have had) but i did also get mild OHSS with some fluid on my right lung which was very uncomfortable.
Bec how you going hun, are you starting to cycle soon?
m2C, MsP, saph, Sara and Molly always thinking of you.
AFM i am posting but keeping in mainly in my BB group so i wont go into detail here. things are ok at the moment but still bleeding every day, just taking things easy and finding it really hard to talk about it IRL IYKWIM?
sending you all my best wishes
Lou
Loula, hang in there, and take it real easy.
AFM - the holiday is to South Africa - where I have family and friends. My DH is staying behind to look after the dogs, but I get to get looked after by my parents and friends. And get to see all their kids (there are about 3 new ones since I was last there) And I am very excited about it. I think it helps that I haven't had a "negative" and I'm just waiting for the next step. So I am in a good place!
Bit stressed as I fly next Friday, and have some work to finish up before I go, and obviously lots to plan. SO you may not see me in here for a bit, and I hope to not see some of you in here when I get back:)
wow SA have a wonderful time one place i would really love to go!
Babytruj - South africa sounds great! yeah have fun
What is a short cycle? It is only 2 weeks of FSH, then egg pick up, no down reg on the pill. Usually used for older girls, (like me ancient) not really sure why. Luveris - thought to help egg quality $170 per injection and need at least 6 (@#$%) dexamethazone (steroid suppresses immune system to stop rejection of embryo as foreign body) and asprin (keep blood a bit thinner so no clots to embryo) - part of a colorado treatment cycle, can help girls with specific autoimmune problems, which I don't have. I'm trying it as 1. desperate 2. am hypothyroid and have had 7 implantaion failures, or biochemicals, sticks for a few days and then departs and 3. it is all a big experiment anyway, might as well give it a go. not proven but good anecdotal and seems not harmful. This may not be exactly correct, there is lots more info on belly belly about colorado, look under immune thread if you want more info.
Loula - royal jelly sounds fab, what agood idea. My follies are already so big they cut my dose of FSH in half! Great big fluffy mother hen I am. Crossing my toes for you. Big fluffy protective hug cloud sending to you (I know I sound deranged, it is 3am). yes don't talk, do what makes you feel best.
JBM - great to have a plan I reckon. getting on with it.
AFM - urk I am awake!!! had big dose of chocolate tonight am so awake from caffeine! the Dexamethazone doesn't help the sleeping either. Had scan yesterday, at least 10 each side, so hopefully will get some good ones. Bit too much FSH, as oestrogen level is bit high so had to cut FSH dose in half. another blood test fri, and Egg pick up Mon. We will go with 3 day trf, and freeze any extra, even though our clinic likes to do 5 days and usually none to freeze. Our DD was frozen one, 4 years ago, and just seems better to us.
I am turning into big fat liar about where I have to be etc, as not telling family or friends this time, they all think I have stopped and that it is. won't they get a lovely surprise if if works!! Feeling quite positive. also am eating everything in sight, like crazy and then getting grumpy about putting on a coupe of kgs. Fat frumpy and over forty, but still funny sometimes!
loula: hope you ok. :D
babytruj: holiday sounds great, i am sure you'll have a great time. it's always a bit stressfull before you go but you'll be spoilt sounds like . have fun:confetti:
samandpoppy: hope colorado has the answers for you. wow expensive injections. eeekk
good numbers with those eggies. :clap: not long to go for EPU and then the dreaded :2ww:
LOL " big fat liar " sometimes we just need to do whats good for us. i will only be telling a few friends, prob 4 and my sis and thats it. my family don't know anything. so i'll have to join the " big fat liar " club :lol: good luck for your EPU and pray for some good qual embies and a BFP. :goodluck:
afm: do you like my avatar ? isn't it great. :leap:i am so excited about it. woohoo. ok ok i am seriously sad if this is my highlight of the week LOL
but i am just so excited about it.
nothing much happening, DH and i got our refferal to go for next IVF . it will be a full stim cycle as i got all BFN last time from 11 good qual embies.:cry:
i'll keep you informed.
good luck to everyone.
sorry if i forgot to say hi to you.
