Don't fart Mel!!!!

OMG! i was gonna say almost exactly the same thing!!:
DOn't fart anymore hunny, and your eggs will be fine!
ok, we need a cork for Melbel's bum! :cryinglaugh: On the serious side of things, I hope that the detoxing actually means the delay is a good thing. If it works, and increases egg quality then hopefully it will overcome the age factor.
And you guys had better not be trying to sync up with me cycle wise - it would mean you're waiting for around another two weeks!
BG, good luck with getting hold of the clinic. I've given up hoping that AF will arrive - you're just too uncooperative! Although, I can see your contrary nature leading to AF arriving at the point we all give up hope of seeing her. I'm just going to say one thing - give them hell! You are paying for this service, do not let them brush you off!
Me... enjoying the sleep ins! Saturday I ended up getting up at normal time, Sunday I had the hugest sleep in and felt really decadent getting up at the absolutely disgustingly late hour of 7am! 6am feels so easy after last week! Woke up absolutely freezing and shivering, so my first temp was a bit screwy. But once I got rugged up and got warm again, I appear to have got the spike that I needed. For a while there I was imagining me calling the clinic and begging them to do more blood tests because I just don't feel like I've ovulated!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day today.

woo hoo on confirming O BW - all looks to be fitting in perfectly for you!
well, i'm home with a killer headache and annoying sore throat today. somehow i think the sore throat is more stress related than a sign of anything else. headache is from neck being out, and from severe tiredness - not sleeping is VERY bad. DH got home at at about half one yesterday afternoon and left at five this morning, so i think some of my sleeplessness was stressing that HE would sleep in - the rest stressing that things are going to hell cycle wise! rang work, and asked them to move one of my days off to accommodate today - they said maybe - they'd have to check with someone further "up the ladder" - otherwise it's a personal day - wasn't a good thing to say to me - i came so close to telling them just to jam their job! the politics at that place are ridiculous - i dropped to 3 days a week so that i could swap and change days to accommodate the IVF stuff - i didn't exactly feel like telling a guy i went to high school with "hey, look, i know some of the reason i'm not comin in today is related to a headache - but mostly it's cos i didn't get my period at the weekend and i need to speak to my IVF clinic about the impact this is going to have on my treatment" - ffs! that stuff is personal - i shouldn't have to disclose it to get time out! they're not calls i could make at work anyway (work in a call centre - NO privacy at all!) - grrrrrr! called the clinic at 9 - nurse not there yet. dammit! left a message for her to call me back - no point going into detail on a message - i'm gonna talk to her when she calls back...
on the upside, with all the stresses going on with this cycle, DH and I had a massive marathon chat last night about everything. he's 100% behind me in whatever decisions i make at this point - and will support my choices. he's also agreed that, no matter when it falls, he'll be at the next FS appointment with me - he feels like i was bullied into doing things i honestly wasnt comfortable in doing, and wants to be there to back me up when i tell the FS that i'm p!ssed and to look at ME as an individual, not just another set of reproductive organs!
still KC here (that Knicker Checking)
who else?????
odette
Lol Odette you sound like you should be in the TWW thread, do we ever stop knicker checking!!
things have gone from frustrating/concerning to downright annoying here. nurse finally called back at around half nine, and when i said AF hadn't arrived, she went "hmmm, well, for some people it does, others it doesn't" - wtf?? my fs GUARANTEED me she'd visit - he PROMISED that i'd get a period if i went on the Pill - otherwise, why the hell did i go on it. Nurse said that just wasn't the case and for some people AF just doesn't show up. grrrrrrrrrr. i'm not sure whether to believe her or the FS - i'm leaning towards thinking that neither of them have a damn clue how to manage a "difficult" patient (body wise). any way - nurse asked for me to go and get a BT (cos of course, i FELT like running around all over town) and if my levels were "flat" we'd start HRT tomorrow. Well - enter mega-p!ssed BG. My levels are ALWAYS flat - i TOLD the FS that - i TOLD him the pill wouldn't work - and now we're back where we would have been without the pill - except that i'm a few days behind where i really should be - AND i've had a month of hell to boot! not happy.
so, off to the chiro, into the jewellers to do a little job for DH - then back to the hospital for BT - and of course, i get a new staff member that couldn't "anchor" my vein - i have the best veins (or so i'm told) - i've had nurses able to anchor the vein without a tourniquet in the past! grrrr. results tomorrow - and probably start HRT straight after...
i asked about "alternate" ways to do FET - the ONLY options i have are a "natural" cycle (i don't o - so that one is out), a clomid cycle (i don't respond, so that one is out too) - or the HRT option - which i guess wasn't too scary til the nurse told me that both the HRT and progesterone pessaries would be continued until at least 10 weeks...i soooooooo hope i don't respond badly to the drugs...
oh yeah, the other thing - i did a ring around of the pharmacies where i can get progesterone pessaries - one is "local" to where i would be when i go for my u/s - so i figured if the price difference was minimal, i'd get them from there - well, i got quotes from Melbourne (about $85 for 34) - then from the local pharmacy - $208 for 34! they're flogging them at almost $16 per pessary! that is attrocious!!! i'll be faxing my script to Melbourne next week...
OMG!!! I have EWCM!!!
Guess who is going to get lucky for Valentines Day?!!
May as well not waste these in between IVF cycle months....hehehe
woo hoo - wtg Mel!!!
BG, I'm just astounded at how unhelpful your clinic is! Are there seriously no other options for you guys? I share your frustration, I had so hoped that things would go smoothly for you. Looks like I'm eating up the share of our good luck at the moment! How much puregon do you have left over from the IUI cycles? I recall it being quite a bit at one stage, would it be enough?
Mel, hope you at least have fun with the EWCM, good luck!
Odette, Shannon - I never stop knicker checking even when I'm nowhere near the TWW. I also have that terrible cervix checking habit. I'm just hoping I can keep that urge restrained when I hit the TWW this time.
Having the arthritis flare from hell at the moment. Combine horrendous pain levels with the frustration of slow dial up, and I'm really not able to post much. Without the ADSL I can't just leave windows open and type slowly like I normally do when things are bad.
BW
I DO have some puregon left BW - but i think i'd be shooting myself in the foot at this point if i chose to use it - i just dont' have the strength to fight the nurse when she see's a follicle developing - plus i don't have a trigger shot!
I do wonder if a follie grown by puregon would ovulate on its own without a trigger. That said, I have two vials of puregon powder (and liquid) here through only ever being able to do half strength triggers with the OHSS. Not that I'm suggesting anything, mind you! I can understand not having the strength to fight any more. I suspect that the fight would be better directed at the FS rather than the nurse anyway.
BW
Hi ladies!
BG - what a total bummer day you have had! You must be feeling so frustrated and the nurse's repsonse to you must be have been horrible! Any rational person would be annoyed but someone who is stressed out and hormonal from the pill would just be inconsolable. Lucky you didn't climb down the telephone and commence wringing the nurse's neck! I hope you get some success with your bt results. And that is scarey about the price of the pessaries. I never think to shop around for my drugs - I just go where ever is convenient - I will be thinking twice about that next time!
Mel - enjoy Valentine's Day ;) and maybe relax a little on your detoxing diet if you can!
BW - I was hoping that you had your arthritis medication under control... is it the cold that has made things worse for you? You need to get onto your DH about the router.... we NEED you!
Shannon & Odette - I have spent the day running to the loo and knicker checking! Still no sign of AF but sore BBs and nipples. Maybe I tested too early - CD 27 when I am usually a 26 day cycle. I did use a crystal clear... maybe I need another brand? Or it could be an ectopic - I read somewhere that they don't show on HPTs until later??? I am sure my body is doing this because my lap is scheduled for next Monday!
Anyway, another early morning tomorrow and another very busy day at work... so likely that AF will turn up just before I have to do a presentation at a big meeting in the afternoon.
Take care all,
xxx
there will be some massive "not so nice" comments thrown at the FS when i next see him - even though i'll be pg at that stage! i'm not prepared to take it laying down, so to speak! FS needs to get a fair verbal floggin - i don't care if he's been at this for 40 years - i've lived with my body for 27 - and i KNOW it's not the same as everyone elses - they need to recognise this!
very tired and still headachey now - am dosed to the eyeballs on pain killers for the moment - chiro trip doesn't seem to have been the magical cure it normally is - am wondering whether maybe this headache is "chemical" - as a result of the stopping of the pill - or whether i'm just having a stress headache from everything that has occured... hmmmm - either way, i don't think i'll be up to too much tonight!
It's the rain and humidity that trigger arthritis flares. There's also a certain amount of irony in the fact that for the last two FETs I went to 20mg of prednisone even though my arthritis is fine. Now, I could sure as hell do with 20mg of prednisone, but I'm sticking with 10mg because I just don't feel comfortable going to the higher dose for transfer now. I can give myself a very short dose of more, and hopefully get things under control quickly. I could soldier on over the weekend, but after a day at work... :crying:
DH might be getting a new router tomorrow. So I could be back online tomorrow night. If I'm not back online properly by the end of this week, DH is going to be one very, very sorry bloke! How can a girl be offline and limping along with dial up on her birthday, really?
Anyway, signing off for the night - will talk to you lovely ladies (and slyder :p) tomorrow. I have a rather non-busy day at work tomorrow, so hopefully I can sneak on from there. Today's been really quite flat out.
BW
Well AF decided to sneak in unobtrusively last night when i was on my way to bed - woo hoo (well, so i thought) - no pain, just a bit of pink and then flow started. figured it was typical, seeing i'd gone and had a BT yesterday - always happens that way!
my woo hoo turned to a massive boo hoo at around half two this morning when i was in so much pain i needed panadeine just to make it manageable - rang DH in tears cos i couldn't sleep (he was working anyway) - and then felt bad cos i didn't want him stressing about me! i am still very very sore this morning - feel like i've had a size 12 boot stomped into my lower tum - but at least she is here, so i've started the HRT now - it's a step forward (sorry, cannot force myself to say it's a positive step at this point - far too ouchy!)
really want to stay home with my heat pack today and just hate the fact that i'm female but i'm going to take myself off to work (with a stash of panadeine) and just see how far i can go before it's "too much" - i'm sure i can get myself sent home if i mention "girlie problems" to a male supervisor - what do you think ?? :p
Was going to say better late than never... but sounds like that's far from the case! Perhaps I'll just settle for trust you to do something completely against expectations again. Despite the pain you are in, I do hope that this at least gives you more confidence in the cycle ahead. Take care, BG. I really hope the panadeine does the trick.
BW
I know it doesn't feel like it right now :rolleyes: , but yay on AF, BG xxx
Now you can get this cycle started ;)
Nothing new happening with me - Will post with BT results when I get them...
BeiBei - 6 from 8 is a great result - Hoping they're all dividing nicely and getting ready to go back in soon :)
Big hi to everyone else :D
