Dutchie, reading your blog was heartbreaking, Im sorry your cycle was cancelled.
AFM: HCG after a pregnyl shot was 48, and today 48 hours later it's at 22, I am not pregnant. After 100 eggs, not a hint of a positive. I like you Dutch, am lost, I want to escape to some other world at this point.
WLB oh honey, I'm so sorry I don't know what to say xxxxx :hug:
WLAB- ((huge hugs hun)) I am truly so very sorry about this result, so, so heartbreaking it never gets any easier. Please take some time and look after yourself and DH, I'll be thinking of you.
anyos- They're a bit slack at the moment, I had to call back as I hadn't heard back well after 3pm and the nurses tell me FS is yet to go over results and if I still haven't heard by Fri or Mon then to call back again grrrrr so slack, I would love some answers and a 'where to next' plan. They told me I ovulated yesterday so we DTD anyway and I'll hope for a miracle, however slim the chance may be.
I really, really hope you get your miracle natural BFP this month and I'm happy to hear your feeling a lil' better.
dutchie - crap about ovulating! I wish this was much simpler, sometimes it is all just ****.
anyos - Sorry to hear that the stim didnt go well, but everything crossed that the stim that you did get is enough to help things out naturally.
wlab - I am so sorry hon. I just dont know what to say.
I had my appt on Tuesday, we are going to try one last time with Murrays sperm but they are convinced that the embryos stopped developing is because of Murrays DNA damage to his sperm, so if this round doesnt work, then we need to move clinics to Concept, where they have a sperm bank. Fun fun fun. So cycling again in November, in the mean time they have asked me to try and lose as much weight as I can, so I started boot camp last week as well as my usual PT and gym, and have lost 1.5kg this week. Am aiming for 5 by the start of next cycle.
BecD thank you lovey, hoping all goes well for you too. Well done on the weight loss, that's really impressive!
WLAB hope you're ok, I know how hard this journey can be and am praying that you have good news coming your way soon xxxx
Hollybolly how did everything go?
Infinity thinking of you, hope all is well.
Dutchie I'd be calling the FS every 10 mins, that's just not on. They should have gotten back to you by now to explain what happened and how they missed the ovulation signs. :pray: that we both have 'natural' miracles on the way....
AFM have had a filthy migraine for two days, but feeling a little better today. My FS and her nurse have been lovely, they've sent me a detailed email (ie DTD on Wed pm, Thurs am & pm....) along with booking me in for a HCG blood test in two weeks. I'm glad someone's feeling optimistic about this whole thing!
BecD- Hopefully you won't need to change clinics because your next cycle is the one. Congrats on your weight loss so far too! Fingers and toes crossed for November.
anyos- yes it's a bit appauling and very frustrating, I'll just call on Fri and Monday if I haven't heard back. I will mention that I'm unhappy with the time it's taken to get back to me with regards to this cycle, it really is not good enough. But like infinity said, there always seems to be someone to talk to when it involves taking your money! Your FS sounds just lovely, what I wouldn't give to have communication with the FS like that! and I too, am very optimistic for your chances.
WLAB- Thinking of you sweet girl.
Holly- Gee BT can't be far off, this cycle is looking very promising so far. I have all my crossables crossed for you.
infinity- grow follies grow. I hope they are monitoring you very closely so you don't have to worry about Oing before you get to EPU.
WLAB - I am so so sorry... it just sucks..
Thinking of you..
Wouldloveabubba - I am so sorry. I am heartbroken at your news, we were all hoping that it was your turn finally. I hope you can find another world to escape to for a little while where it doesn't hurt so much. Nothing I can say will make you feel any better, just know that we are here for you if you need us. xxx

Popping in to thank you all for your lovely message's of support
Infinity - Hoping those stimms are preparing lots of full follie's, how did yesterdays scan go
Anyos - Hoping your surviving your tww
Bec - Hope Boot Camp is going well
Hi to Dutchie, Bulliej, Holly, Possums, and a special Hi to lovely Miss Pink for dropping in x
AFM: Still waiting on AF - another BT on Wed, when I see FS to discuss this dismal cycle. I have decided to do a FET in November with our frozen Blastie, then if no luck, we will do a Low Stim Cycle in December. Till then, we have a lot of social things on,along with a o/seas trip, so I am going to have a break from FS's and appointments and injections
Best of luck girlies
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 :)
thanks to everyone who's been thinking about me!
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.
Hi lovely girls,
anyos- hope the waiting isn't doing your head in
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!
Hi Ladies!
I am terrible posting in here, I'm sorry :redface:
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 :goodluck:
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 :doh:
I have been a naughty girl & started with the HPT's at 10DPO :redface:
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!
Lots of hugs to everyone :hug:
Hey, how are you all??
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
thinking of you all
xxx
Hi girls,
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 :hello: 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 :dance:) 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 :D
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 :wall:
I cannot believe it !
What are the chances, I really need this LAP, and dont have PHI, Im tired of paying outa pocket expenses :wall: 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 :redface:
WLAB- A HSG was suggested as we need to check out whether my tubes are open because DP is going in to have his blockage operated on and we will give it a go naturally for a while. I guess that's pointless if my tubes are blocked. I believe they don't think that a lap is necessary for me which is unusual as FS once commented that it looked like I may have a bit of endo :rolleyes: Anyway, I now wonder whether a lap would be worthwhile esp just to check out whether I do infact have a bit of endo. Can they look at the tubes during a lap? - this is all very new to me.
BOL with your lap though I hope it doesn't interfere with your plans too much but I hope it gives you some more info to work with.
Dutchie
When you have a LAP they can flush your tubes, I guess if trying naturally is the way your going, for a while, it would be advantageous to know. However, I truelly believe investigitive procedures are worth doing, while your still at ttc stage. We spend so much money, time and energy on IVF, it makes sense to rule out any problems before we go forth.
Infin - How are4 you going hun, how was today's scan ?
Hello to all my friends
Holly - BOL with your BT
AFM : I rang the hospital and pleaded my case and they moved my date to the 5th of Oct - Yay ... I can have a lap in a womens hospital, and as my fS requested it, he will get the results.
WLAB- Yay for having your lap brought forward, that's good news. Hopefully now it won't interfere with your upcoming social events.
I'm now thinking of questioning FS about whether a lap would be worthwhile too, perhaps I can have it done at the same time as the HSG. I'll be having that done publicly so I guess there might be a bit of a wait so it would be good to kill two birds with the one stone as I hate to have to wait for a HSG and then for a lap. I'll probably mention this to the new FS I'll be seeing on the 12th BTW thanks for that recommendation very much looking forward to what she has to say.
Hi lovely ladies :D
WLAB - Fantastic news in getting your lap pushed forward! :crossfingers: for some answers xxx
Dutchie - they can flush your tubes whilst doing a lap... I had this done a few years ago.
Have also had the HSG as well. If you're in as a public patient though the lap may be a bit of a wait xxx
Cuddlepie... FANTABULOUS numbers today, lovely :clap:
How is everyone else doing?
AFM.... today after 7yrs TTC baby #2 DH & I got our first ever :bfp: from IVF!!!! OMG so good to gain some faith in the science, I can tell you :p
We are just thrilled - fantastic numbers, & we're having a repeated BT on Friday just to check that levels are rising... my progesterone levels were fantastic which is SUCH a relief as this has been an issue for us with past cycles.
A little surreal at the moment, but after Friday's blood test & then the scan in 2 weeks I might feel a little more at ease ;)
Lots of thoughts to everyone xxx
Yeeehaaa Holly, just fantastic news congrats again sweets have a very H&H 9 months and I look forward to following your journey :D
Hello ladies!
First of all - MASSIVE congratulations to Hollybolly!!!!! What terrific news!! :happyforyou:. Wishing you a happy and healthy 8 months ahead. xx
Lucie - sorry missed your post hun! Welcome to BB :) I'm sorry you've had such a terrible time TTC. Hopefully it wont be long now. keep us posted with what's going on - happy to support you whenever you need it. x
Dutchie, I hear you on the 'you're young' thing - this seems to be my FS's fave expression. while i am grateful for being younger it doesn't necessarily make it any easier - so what if I'm young, we've been trying to have a baby for nearly 5 years and no baby yet - what good is time if so far nothing seems to be working - does that just mean 10 more years of this? So far my 'being younger' hasn't helped in the slightest :( Sorry for the negativity - this whole IF thing sucks no matter how old you are are what you're up against! I hope your HSG goes well, no harm in checking things out. Glad you'll be getting a bit of a break too - I did that recently and while the wait was hard I think it really helped.
M2C - hello - so glad you dropped in :) It sux waiting until march but sounds like you have plenty to fill the time. enjoy planning your big day, wish I could plan mine again - there is so much more wedding stuff now, dresses are awesome, funky bonbonierre (sp?), and unique things to do. So so fun - enjoy. xx
WLB - good on you for getting an earlier lap appointment. Hope it all goes well.
Hello to everyone else, :loveshower:Cuddlepie, anyos, BecD, possums, toby and anyone I've missed.
AFM: Scan yesterday and FS is very pleased. I have about 10 follies on each side, 2 or 3 are almost 18mm, FS has dropped Gonal back to 112.5 and continue with a daily orgalutran. Trigger will be Sat night and EPU on Monday. So we're basically coasting, letting some of the smaller follies catch up a bit. We are hoping for less than 10 mature eggs and FS says things are looking good for this. If we have fertilisation the plan is to go to blast and transfer the following Saturday. So for now it's just waiting - looking forward to Sunday being a drug free day :)
hey guys , long time no chat.
infinity: not long to go & no more needles.
dutchie: HUGS, good luck whatever cycle you end up doing.:clap:
holly: i am terrible at posting too, YEAH ON BFP !!!! , thats such good news.
mum2chloe: good luck on your wedding plans, something to look forward to
WLB: good luck to you, got fingers crossed
wow so much is happening in here and some good news too.
AFM: well not much, DH has been a bit of a pain and since we have had a BIG break since march when we had our last FET done he is having second thoughts about doing it all again.
arggg:wall:
but the thing is he said yes when we had finished all our embies to trying again and i am just using that moment of weakness to ask again, i said i am not happy and if we don't do this one more time i will not be happy.
fingers crossed he comes around.
anyway thats it from me , i am sorry i've been so slack in getting on BB. no excuses.
holly congratulations!!!!!! That's made my day :hooray: Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xxxxx
Infinity, those numbers look fabulous, hope the next few days go smoothly :)
WLAB great news on the op date, well done!
Dutchie, Its a good idea to have everything done together if your doc thinks its appropriate. Which clinic is your new FS with?
M2C hope you're traveling well. How are the wedding plans coming along?
AFM had pregnyl sat & yesterday for luteal support, feeling nauseous but pretty sure its just the drugs. Had BT yesterday and progesterone/estrogen levels looking good, waiting to POAS next week. Have been discussing the situation with our FS (who's amazing), naturopath and GP - conclusion is that IVF isn't working for us. I'm just not getting the numbers although there are still eggs there. So depending on the outcome of this cycle, will have a break over October and cycle one last time in November.
xxx
Hi girls,
infinity- woohoo sounds like things are coming along very nicely, very BOL with EPU on Monday. And yes, it's very frustrating to get the 'you're young' speech because like you, that doesn't mean that things have been any easier or I've been able to get pg any quicker, it's so annoying but your right, ltttc is hard no matter how old you are!
anyos- So glad to hear that your P4 and E2 levels are good. I have my fingers still tightly crossed that you can achieve a miracle this month. I believe I'll do one last cycle in Nov too, it would be great to be cycle buddies again though hopefully neither of us will need to cycle again. The new FS I will see on the 12th is at MIVF (who I'm with now) but I'll see her at the Freemasons and not at The Women's Hosp. where I go now. Hopefully she'll have something new to offer though I'm not really sure since my results are so dismal, but it's still worth going, I may be wrong.
JBM- I hope you can bring DH round, you've been so patient waiting!
Holly- still happy dancing for you here, I'm just thrilled!
AFM- I think I may just go ahead with this HSG and not the lap, I just don't think my current FS thinks I need it but I will ask the new FS I'm seeing and see what she thinks. I'm not sure about the whole endo thing, I have absolutely no symptoms (though I know that doesn't mean I definitely don't have it!) but my GP who I've been with for 10 years and is really fantastic doesn't seem to think that I have it at all. So I will, for now, just go ahead and book the HSG and ask new FS if she thinks that a lap is necessary aswell. My current FS is, to be completely honest a bit hopeless. Anyway, I'd hate to think about how long it would take to get a HSG and a lap done publicly and DP's surgery really is the priority right now but I might look into getting a lap done privately when that's all done and we have the funds together for it.
After writing all this I think I may just email current FS and ask whether they think a lap is necessary and whether we could do that instead of a HSG since I can have tubes checked during a lap and just to check out this endo thing plus I really don't fancy having to wait for 2 procedures in the public system- geeeez :rolleyes: decisions, decisions.
Big congratulations Holly....
Love love love seeing that news in this thread....
:clap::dance::clap::dance::clap:
CONGRATULATIONS HOLLY BOLLY - WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR YOU :dance:
Dutchie, I can't even remember who I suggested you see, was it MT at MIVF ?
I dont want to seem like I am pushing a Lap, I just wanted to write so that other ladies knew, the wait and Mercy Hospital for a public Lap, was 5 months, with everything else going on, the time flew.
Hi all
Ive been MIA as my mum has been visiting me from OS, we have had a wonderful time together over the last three weeks. Due to my MC, stress from work my depression has reared its head again and i am back on my meds, didnt want to be here again as i feel it pushes back our ttc,
discussed with mum what are plans are and we have decided to go ahead with one more EPU then discuss surrogracy either OS or with a friend here who has offered several times, however i know that she would like one more of her own (was discussing planning it after giving birth for us) but have found out that she will need to be infertile if she is to carru for us in Vic. i wouldnt want her to have surgery on her tubes esp if she is wanting more children, but love her every day for her kind offer.
So IVF 15 will be here soon enough, waiting for af then going to do a biopsy on day 21 (even though my cycles are so irregular)
i hope everyone is going well here, Holly congratulations again. xx
better go and keep my dog company, he is really missing my mums attention, or more to the point endless supply of food!!!
WLAB- Yes, I'll be seeing MT at MIVF Freemasons, I really hope she has some ideas for me.
5 months for a lap seems pretty reasonable to me, good to know. I imagined the wait to be a lot longer publicly.
Hello to everyone else. Hope things are well.
HB- congrats thats fantastic news - how exciting
WLB - im sure everything will work out. Where are you going on your o/s trip? that is something to look forward to.
Duchie - hope you get the answers you are looking for. I have had a HSG it was uncomfortable like period pain, perhaps have some pain killers before you go. They can do a lap and HSG together as i had that as well.
Thinking of you all - Infinity, JMB, Anoys, Loula and anyone else i have forgotten
AFM - havent been here for ages, just taking a break from the site. Mon i start testing for ovulation to have FET (blast) the FS reckons it will work, but he has said that everytime.
Can ppl tell me what they are thinking before going for FET or anything along those lines (iui etc) as i still feel it wont work, i am quite negative and feel that it will never happen.
I know we need the rain but is it going to stop? I wanna see the sun!
have a good weekend
Holly - Congratulation! Every LTTC pregnancy should be celebrated - it has taken you guys such an incredibly long time and I am very happy for you xxx
Loula - good to see you around. I understand about the depression, I am also on meds and have some really dark days. Hope you are doing okay, please know we are here if you ever want to talk.
toby - I try to stay as positive as I can. Nobody can say that your positivity/negativity can conclusively make a difference, but I would rather the 2ww be a hopeful positive experience, instead of a negative depressing one. If it doesn't work you will be depressed enough as it is. JMO though, and I know that it can be very hard to keep going with that positive attitude.
AFM - Waiting for AF to arrive, have been in a bad mood for the past week and on CD 31 so it should be here already but no doubt my body is playing games with me. When AF arrives I can book my day 21 appt, and then start IVF next day 1.
We are off on a mini holiday next week - Barossa Valley for 4 nights staying at a B&B which will be nice. Murray lost his job on Friday (he is a teacher so he will at least get to work until the xmas holidays) but it puts huge pressure on us to find him another job for next year. He is really depressed over it all, and so it will be nice for us to spend some time together.
I have booked an appointment with Dr Thompson at Concept in Perth for January in case this last IVF cycle doesnt work. We can access donor sperm through our clinic so need to move clinics to do that in the new year. The bonus is the new clinic has a lot cheaper fees, but I am still struggling with the idea of leaving the people who have gotten me this far. Hopefully it doesnt get that far though.
Hi everyone,
toby- just wishing you the very best for you FET, I know it can be hard to always be positive especially when things don't seem to be working. Try to keep faith hun, IVF can and does work and I'm optimistic that it'll work for you too when the time is right. And thanks for letting me know that a lap and hsg can be done together, good to know.
Loula- Sorry to hear that your depression has reared it's head again. Hopefully the meds will have you back on track very soon and you can concentrate on TTC again.
BecD- Enjoy the Barossa Valley, sounds so nice. BOL with your appt in Jan but I'm hoping for you that you won't be needing it because your Nov cycle will be the one.
infinity- BOL for EPU hun it was this weekend right? Here's to lots of lovely eggs.
anyos- Hope your travelling well hun, thinking of you and fingers still crossed over here for your miracle.
A big shout out to everyone else, hope you're all tracking nicely.
AFM- Well I emailed FS yesterday and asked if we could have a lap and hsg done at the same time, I really hope it's given consideration esp as FS once commented that it looked like I may have endo and I for one would really love to know either way if I do or not. We also got confirmation of DPs surgery in Dec, really, really looking forward to that. 17th Dec at 9am here we come!
Loula - I'm not sure but I think the new legislation in Vic (the one with the police check requirement) actually changed the surrogacy rules as well and removed the requirement that the surrogate be infertile. I could be wrong but worth checking.
Well looks like I'll be having a lap now and have my tubes checked at the same time. FS tells me the wait should be 3-4 mths which is pretty reasonable for a public hospital I think. Now fingers crossed nothing severe results from it! I've got enough issues with my fsh!
Cuddlepie - congratulations for two on board! Sending you the stickiest of sticky vibes. Hang in there and try to stay positive, you're doing everything you can. Everything crossed here that it's your turn.
JBM - welcome back! I'm crossing my fingers that you can convince DH that you need to try again. Hope you are much healthier after your long break.
Anyos - when are you going to POAS? Good luck, hoping you snuck your little miracle in and hoping you wont need that next cycle.
Loula - welcome back, I am so happy you had a wonderful time with your mum, you really needed something nice. Hope AF arrives soon and you can get going on IVF 15 - you are amazing, hoping you'll be rewarded this time. x
Dutchie - how are you going, hoping things are looking promising for a BFP this month? All crossables crossed for you. x Hoping you don't have endo too.
Toby - Best of luck for upcoming FET. I've had quite a few FET's and my thinking has been different every time, sometimes I've been so positive and other times I've just felt it was hopeless. Personally I don't think your attitude makes a difference to the outcome, what will be will be, but it's a much nicer two week wait if you can muster up a bit of positive energy. I know how hard it is and understand how you feel though. Sending you positivity! This FET could be the one.
BecD - hope AF has arrived so you can get started. Have a wonderful time on your mini holiday. So sorry about Murray's job, hoping he finds another quickly.
Mummy2chloe, Ms Pink, Wouldloveabubba, Possums and everyone else - big hello and hoping all is well.
AFM: Had my EPU this morning and it went well, I'm quite sore this time though but no other issues. We got a surprising 21 eggs, I was in shock and asked the nurse twice if she was sure that they were MY results. Not sure how I feel about it to be honest, we were going for less than 10. My mindset has been that my last IVF and all the FET's lack of success was due to the theory that too many eggs means compromised quality. this is from my FS's thinking, so we really wanted less eggs hoping for better quality. While on one hand I'm happy to have what is considered a great result so far I'm just worried that this will be a repeat of the whole last year - FET after FET, BFN after BFN. Sorry, rambling (could still be a little drugged!), We have to have fertilisation first so I'm getting ahead of myself. Will let you know our fert results tomorrow.
Great result infinity- eggcellent! Fingers crossed for a great fert report tomorrow.
infinity - I personally dont buy in to the 'more eggs - less quality' idea so 21 is a great result! Wishing your little embies well as they fertilise and grow! Are you growing to blastocyst?
Well I am off on my holiday in a moment, will be back online next weekend. Only BFP's allowed while I am away! AF still hasnt arrived, and I have decided that if it hasnt come by the time I am back on the weekend, I am going to ask the clinic if I can straight into my IVF cycle rather than waiting another month. Otherwise I will need to go on the pill for a month to make sure my cycle doesnt go on forever like this one, and it will start creeping into having epu in december, and results around christmas time which is too much stress. SO now im kinda hoping AF doesnt arrive! Especially not to spoil my dirty week away in the Barossa!
Infinity that's a great result! Fingers crossed for good news today :) How are you feeling today, not as sore?
Dutchie, how are you going lovey? Have been thinking of you and hope this is the month! Glad you can do your procedures together as well but :pray: you don't have to :) All the signs are looking good!!!!
Cuddlepie, congratulations lovey, sending you v sticky vibes xxx
Loula how are you traveling? Am really glad you had a wonderful break with your mum. Sorry to hear about your depression, I hope that you're back on track soon and you only need one more cycle xxx
BecD hope you have wonderful break in the Barossa, its a lovely place, please have a glass (or 3) for us :)
Toby good luck for your FET. I haven't had a FET/IUI so I can't say personally but I find that remaining positive keeps me sane during the TWW - I also find accupunture & counselling helps.
M2C how are your wedding plans going? Hoping you're well
hello to everyone else xxxx
AFM sore bb's & nausea but not feeling as I have in the past, will wait and see - BT this saturday.
