Long Term Assisted Conception - 2009

[mollygirl1977]

BabyDreamtime - I am so sorry, I can't believe that yet again you are hit with more disappointment. I know that there is still every chance the IUI could work but I know how frustrated you would be feeling right now. I will keep praying for that miracle for you

Paula - hope that Provera does its thing and that you don't have to wait too long for AF - sometimes it has taken me 12 days after taking the last tablet before i get AF

Smithy - so glad you have made the decision to move forward with your FET. I will also be doing FET in May so maybe we will be in the TWW at the same time. You will have to keep me posted with your dates.

Samandpoppy, JBM, CP, Sara, MSPink, Meredith - a big to you all and hope that you are all doing well.

AFM - taking things pretty easy at the moment. I am day 29 today and just waiting for AF so that I can start FET, however I really don't have a cycle and will probably wait another week or so then start Provera and get the ball rolling. I have 2 frosty's left and i really really hope they both survive the thaw as i really want to transfer 2 again.

Big hugs BDT, we will just have to keep telling ourselves 'it will happen'....it will hun....you know where to find me if you need me...

Hi to everyone else, lying really low atm...just feel drained of all these cycle after cycle...need a

[JBM]

CP: sending you a BIG HUG !. i think this break is doing me good but i know how you feel about being drained. x

[MsPink]

BDT - I am so sorry sweetie. I had a cancelled cycle early on, one of my first. It was so sad knowing that I had gone thru all the emotional stuff, pumped my body full of hormones, only to be told - no sorry, IUI for you. So I really know how you feel. In all honesty, at age 33... I truly don't believe an IUI is a total waste of time at all - really truly. OK - at my ripe old age - yes..but there is still hope for you. Hang in there...

Paula - honey...Not glad to see you in here...but lovely to see you..Very much hoping the new clinic and FS will see you having a happy outcome very soon...

Andy - hope you're doing ok.. we are here anytime you need us..

Loula - hi gorgeous if you're lurking....

Sam - nice to see you. Hope you're feeling 100% back to normal..

Sara - How are the needles going? I hope you're cooking along nicely..

Molly - glad you're another one who will have something cooking in about 2 weeks..

CP - thanks for looking out for me honey.. We been hanging in there together for too long hun?? Big hug to you for just being so lovely...

JBM - I think a break from this mental merry-go-round is good for all of us. We all need to give the body and mind a break. I hope it does you the world of good..

Smithy - you are so lovely always popping in here. I can't wait for you to get the ball rolling again....

Meredith - where ever you lurk - I know you are getting on there in weeks and am SO SO happy for you.. Your time has come...


AFM - well..what can I say. Kept pretty quiet during my cycle as I knew I wasn't doing very well. My estrogen did not rise well so I knew EPU if I got there, would probably be a fizzer. Wednesday EPU: 4 eggs, 3 mature only 2 fertilised. As I have 2 put back, had them done already - on day 2. I know the clinic figured that they may as well give me something to stick in!!! Good or bad - who's to know. So had A/C before and after this morning. Am really truly not holding out hope at all - sadly... Let's say, yesterday was not a good day for me.. Today is better.

Anyway - have a great weekend lovelies...

Sorry, double posted. Dont know how to delete this.

Baby Dreamtime its so important that we all try and stay positive. I know its much easier said than done but we have to all try. There is definately a chance that IUI can work so you just never know!

Smithy woohoo on having FET in May. Hope April goes quick for you and i look forward to following your journey.

Mollygirl not having a cycle is so annoying but thankfully Provera comes to the rescue. I generally get AF within 5-6 days so hopefully this time will be the same so i can get the ball rolling. I am so excited to be starting with a new clinic. Cant wait to see how they do things etc.

Cuddlepie, awww i dont like seeing people upset. Im definitely in the big

Lulu glad to hear today is a better day. Hang in there and as i said above, positive attitude all the way

Well all i can say is im excited because It's Friday!

Have a wonderful weekend ladies!

Hi Paula, glad to see you are back and getting ready to go again.
I have everything crossed for you and your DH.
Glad to hear that you are happy with your new FS and have every faith that the new protocol will be the ticket for you as it was for me.

The everyone else in here best of luck to you all in your cycles....you are all one day closer to your BFP!!

[Loula]

Ladies, please forgive me i really have been AWOL of late and i want you to know that i do pop in to check up on you bit of late haven’t had the time or energy to put together a post, as you know we are not TTC at the moment, although i have continued with my ap appointments weekly, which has been lovely and the lady i go to is the best truly!

JBM – I hope you are doing ok and that DH has discussed how he is feeling about the treatment other than a mixed decision about whether to go again or not. I hope you have been able to work something out?

Meredith – so nice to hear from you! Taking time to concentrate your energy on you and your growing belly is not being self absorbed. You have still had a lot on and I can say I don’t blame you for spending some time dealing with that.

Andy – sorry I don’t think I have even welcomed you to this thread, sorry you find yourself here. I understand the urge to start TTC straight away but think your FS has given you some good advice, you have been through a lot and to start all the stim drugs again so soon will put stress on your body, I know women who have conceived naturally quickly after a loss, but they have not need the added support of toxins from all the drugs we have to take! I myself had to wait 7 months before I could start TTC again as I waited for surgery, it felt like forever then when I was ready to start the clinic closed due to Christmas! Waiting sucks. Hope to see you posting again soon.

MsP my friend! Long time no speak, I read the other day that you are now in your TWW!! Woohoo, I’m hoping the pred will do the trick for you, it can be an amazing dug in the hope of TTC in my opinion, lets hops it does wonders and gives you healthy twinnies!

S&P – you must been soon in your TTW to! Hope the scan went well.

Sara – you are cycling too! There is a lot happening in here at the moment.

Paula ! welcome back hun, jumping in is what it feels like sometimes and not know how you are going to land!

Molly! Cycle buddie! (Well last time at least) I think we are also on the same cycle day! Lets hope we get af together and can cycle again together. I know I am desperate to get going again.

BDT – I know how frustrating life can be during cycles! Why oh why does everything seem to come at once and right in the middle of a cycle? Some cycles are trial and error and that sucks too! Why can’t our bodies do what the book says? Can I ask why you have never done IUI if your tubes are OK? (I’m guessing your tubes are OK or they would not convert?).

CP – you can have a great big hug from me hun anytime!

Hi to all!

[grub17]

hi lovely ladies,
it must be that time of the year were there's a natural lull in things. i can't even see a tww folder have i missed something???

i've been off the planet for a couple of months, after our BFN for the FET in jan. But since then we've done another stim cycle, got 3 frosties with one of those transferred last saturday. i have my BT this Monday.

haven't gone nuts but have tried not to obsess this time ie forum punching every day for hours!!! and it has helped. the week has flown by. the ignore all symptoms mantra actually worked girls!!

question: has anyone else felt liek they were getting their period and were in fact preg?? i'm in a very stroppy mood, uncoordinated and irritated - all usually signs of AF coming on??? I have no feeling either way with this transfer so willjust see what monday brings.

hi to JBM, mollygirl, Loula, cuddlepie, mspink, BDT, Smithy - i'm sad to see you are still here as well. Hi to andy, nicole S and paula.

i'm still trying to catch up on where everyone is at.

prayers for all. oxox

[Loula]

just a quick post to wish grub17 all the very best for your BT today!

[barney]

just wanted to say hi to all you wonderful girls..
i hope you are all doing ok
ill be back soon but for now just here cheering you all on .

[mollygirl1977]

Wow it sure is quiet around here at Easter time. I have been fairly absent myself but mainly because I have been 100% not thinking about babies and TTC for the last month. And I must say its been quite peaceful.

I am really not very up to date on where everyone is at but will read over the pages and catch up shortly. In the meantime just want to send loads of and to everyone and hope that you all have a safe and happy Easter!

[Samandpoppy]

Hi girls - just hsven't had the energy for posting.

Ms pink - good luck, good luck good luck, crossing my pinkies for you.

AFM - we had a nice break over easter but unfortunatley BFN from the FET. ended up with one blast from 5 thawed and will definitely do blasts from now on. Got a very faint line from POAS, so think might had had a little biochemical (again). Will have another FET in a few weeks using the 6 frosties we have then if doesn't work will go to Sydney for NK cell test and think about changing FS to do Colorado or variation of it anyway.

Did some mental work with my sister to get into a better head space, had a chat with DH about stretching the time limit, he has been great. He doesn't really want to do it, but says he is along for the ride. I will try to make the ride a bit more fun for him and be responsible for my moodiness and not take it out on him. He is not feeling well at the moment, so need to get him well again.

Am going to fortune teller next week and really looking forward to it, so of course you know wha I am going to ask her "am I going to have another baby and what do I need to do to get there".

Hope you are all well, and getting closer to what you want.

[*Paula*]

Hello ladies

Rather quiet around here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Big congratulations to Grub17! Well done! Wishing you all the very best for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

So wonderful to hear great news from this thread!

AFM: Still waiting for AF to arrive. Cant believe it still hasnt. This is the absolute longest it has taken AF to arrive after provera ever! I usually get AF by the 3rd day after my last pill but its now 10 days. Has anyone else waited this long? Should i ring the clinic or is this normal?

[MsPink]

Sam - thanks..ahhhhh all helps. Now will have to find out his proper name but do you know Dr Nick someone?? He has a brilliant name in Melbourne - and uses Prednisone etc. He is great for older women..will get his deets if you don't know who I am talking about.

Paula - so sorry - am not familiar with Provera and its issues

molly - nice to see you again

Loula honey - hope life is treating you well..

Smithy - looking forward to seeing u here...well hopefully i wont be here anymore but YKWIM..

[Bengal]

Ms Pink ; Please pass on the details of "nick" in Melb, who is great with older women, he isnt at mivf

Paula and BDTime, our FS's have or are going to put us on the same protocol it seems, antagonist with more scans to better embryo quality

Hi to everyone, just a quick post from me xx

[Loula]

Just popping in to say hi and hope that everyone is going well

Sorry to hear of the resent cycles that did not result how we would have wished and hope that you can find the strength to continue when your hearts have heal

Take care
