Long Term Assisted Conception Feb 2008

[Shannon22]

Oh BG sorry to hear AF is being a biatch... but it is good news hun it means your system gets a clean out before 9 long months of pregnancy! Hope the Panadeine is working

I am so disappointed and angry at my ovaries. useless bastard things they are. I hate them!!!! They never behave as they are supposed to. I would have thought that PCOS would be something that most FS can overcome now but its so unpredictable it makes that difficult and it frustrates the hell out of me.

I am trying not to think about all the what ifs, I went form almost being cancelled for OVER stimming last cycle, to the same potential for this one for UNDER stimming. Its really not fair. I am just trying to wait til Friday. No point worrying, it might never happen. Easier said than done though, right? Bugger!!!!

woo hoo - i survived all day at work - PLUS an extra 40minutes! i'm so very proud of myself! it's taken a mammoth effort, and i'm completely exhausted now - but i made it.

As painful as she's been, i'm not too upset that AF is here - i guess i'm kinda ok with the fact that, although lot slower than it should have been, my body DID eventually do what it was supposed to do! PLUS, the fs is finally starting to take notice that my body doesn't play the game like it should - i'm supposed to have been on progynova 4mg for a week, then increase it to 6mg til transfer - but he's got me on 6mg from the start so at least he's putting a little bit of thought in there to how MY body is likely to respond... it's a start i guess...

Hi BG

That is great news that you are one more step forward and increasing your dose sounds like a good idea now that your FS is actually listening to you!

Have an easy night tonight... you have had a pretty stressful few days so heat pack and a movie sounds like a great way for BG to de-stress and relax!

Take care hun,

Hi Kell

That is a bummer about under stimming this cycle... I don't have PCOS (well as far as I know - next week I might tell you something different) but I know all about under stimming. My first cycle we only got 1 egg - no fert and second cycle - 3 eggs but only 1 fert. I almost wished for over stimming to try to increase our chances of fert.

I hope all goes well for you on Friday.

Hey BW - did you say something about a birthday this week??

[briggsy's girl]

hi chez - i'm thinking this little BG will be having dinner, followed by hot chocolate, heat pack - and snuggles on the couch or in bed - not sure if it will be movie, idiot box - or a telephone call to DH to keep me company - still tying to work out what is most appealing!

BW is having her birthday tomorrow...

[Chez67]

BG - that sounds like a perfect plan for tonight. Enjoy!

And thanks for the info on BW...

[Shannon22]

Happy Birthday BW!

Hi lovely ladies & Slyder

Went for pre-lap b/ts this morning on my way to work and since I am 5 days late I asked the nurse to add a pg test to the list of tests. She told me that my FS needed to approve that, so I phoned and left a message for her to arrange that with the lab.

But it seems my body is playing with my head, just did a KC and AF is just starting. I have had the sorest bbs for 2 weeks now - even worse then when I was on the crinone gel and I really felt that this WAS IT! So I guess that means it is all clear for my lap next week - yay (not)... would rather have had my FS ring me to cancel because of a +ive b/t! Oh well, I can only dream!

I hope everyone else is having a much better day than I am.
Take care all and I hope you all spend some time with your special someone tomorrow!

grrrrrrrrrrrr - what is it with af showing up JUST after BT's - she's a witch!!!!

[Shannon22]

Oh Chez so sorry hun, that really sucks!!

Happy Valentines Day! I might have to be nice to DH today although this Provera is turning me into a whingy cranky wife (accidently swore.. opps sorry mods) .... and worse still is that i know im being a whingy wife etc !!

[butterfly_warrior]

Shannon, provera turned me into a raging, hormonal mega-b!tch as well. I hated even being in the same room as myself when I was on it. Ten days? Hopefully they fly by super-fast!

[Chez67]

Thanks ladies... I had a few tears last night but DH was out at a work function so he missed the hormonal drama!

I have had another busy travelling interstate day for meetings today but am back home now. Time to make myself beautiful for a Valentine's Day dinner!

Hope you lovely ladies (& Slyder) have a great night tonight, if you are staying in for a cuddle!

Have a great night, Chez

Many are not fans of Valentine's Day for the schmultz and commercialism, however it is interesting to note that in other countries it is celebrated quite differently where the day is actually more about friendship than tacky romance.

I just found this explanation which would support this sentiment nicely:


Valentine was imprisoned under Claudius II for his Christian beliefs, and while in jail, he restored the sight of his jailers' blind daughter through his faith and love for her.

Before his execution, on the Feb.14. AD 269, Valentine sent her a note signed "From your Valentine." This phrase became the everlasting symbol of friendship, affection and sharing with others.




So, in that spirit, I hope everyone had a lovely day- and thank you to all my Long Term TTC buddies for the friendship, affection and sharing through this long long journey to conception
