Hope it is all going well, Marg. PM me if you like....
Hi guys, it's been a tough week here. Was so positive that I would respond better to a flare cycle. Have had headaches, bloating and slight nausea which I've barely had in the past, so thought I might have been responding well. Had a scan on Monday and only 4 follices, two medium, two small. It was SO disappointing. :wall:
The Clinic have decided to cancel the full IVF cycle (at least one positive is no lap pickup!!!) but they are keeping me on the puregon injections for this week in the hope that the two medium follicles turn into two big ones and they will then do an insemination. My next scan is tomorrow and if all goes well the DI will be Monday. I know there is still a slight window of hope that mother nature might still do her thing but I am so exhuasted. I would have given anything to have had a good result and even end up with some frozen bubbies. Why does this have to be so hard. Sigh. :cry:
Oh well, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.
How's everything going with you Keen?
Leis - when is your departure date?
Vicki - hope all is well with you.
Hope everyone is doing well. T/C.

Marg, that's a bit of a bugger for you, but I hope the DI goes well.
Keep trying!
Carrie, congrats for you, well done.
Keen, waiting to hear of your cycle too.
Leis, is that holiday close. I'm doing a bit of an o/s trip myself in july.
Take care all.
Oh Marg, honey I know you are disappointed... its always hard when it doesnt go as planned. Like you say at least you dont have to go through the dreaded pick up - but still, I know it is hard.
Hoping those big guys get even bigger and the DI does the job for you... :pray:
Hi Tam, hows things?? Whereabouts you going on holidays?
Well, thankfully things are still progressing. The two medium size follies are nice and big and even one of the other two small follies has grown a fair bit. A couple more days of injections and then the IUI/DI is booked in for Tuesday. They did warn me about the possibility of a multiple birth (I even had to sign a form saying I understood the risks) and then they asked if I was okay with that! I nearly had to laugh because as far as I'm concerned a multiple birth would mean I'm actually PREGNANT and I assured them I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that!!! LOL!
So the middle of next week I'll be starting the TWW and hoping that mother nature does her thing. :pray:
Marg
Hi ladies
Marg
Good luck hun with IUI.. i am sure this will give you that long awaited BFP
Tam
enjoy your holiday where ever you are heading....
Keen
Hope all is well with you, whatever you are up too
Lou
Best of luck to you also hun
Me
Off overseas on Monday, so this will be my final post... hope to see many grads when I come back...
Love Leis xx
Leis - wishing you all the best :hug: ... and I won't say it about the holiday ;) and relaxing - just do it anyway for fun - enjoy yourselves a whole heap and hope your next will be as a family one. Pop into a cybercafe and let us know how you are.
Keen, I'm going to do a rail trip around Europe. It's only two weeks so not seeing too much, but hoping it will still be enough. I'm going with my mum. We go mainly by rail and see Paris, Nice, Milan, Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam and London. I'm very excited. I leave on 21 July.
How's your cycling going, you were doing a stim?
Marg, will be hoping big for you.
Take care
Tam
Hi Tam, the holiday sounds fantastic. I know you and your Mum will have an amazing time - and I'm sure 21 July will be here in no time!
And Keen, Leis and Tam - thanks so much for the positive wishes.
Had the IUI yesterday and my lovely FS has given me today off work so having a lovely lazy day before going back to my in-tray and stress! I've actually had from last Fri to this Wed off so I'm a bit worried about being inundated with questions tomorrow! Only my boss and two female friends at work know about the IVF so I'll have to try and think of some suitable replies for everyone else! This is never simple is it! LOL!
Well, I guess now it's up to Mother Nature - I just hope it's my turn for a BFP! In fact lots of graduations from this forum in the next couple of months would be WONDERFUL! :pray:
Hope everyone is well.
Marg

Come on.... :fertilise: for Marg!
Hey everyone,
Well after having a couple of crappy weeks I'm starting to feel reasonably ok (just wish my nose would stop running!!) Nothing much to report on the baby journey though - my SD is moving house and all his energy is going into this. Hopefully will have some progress by the end of May. In the meantime I had a chat with my FS and I'm going to use the next 6 months to try and lose some weight and get healthy.
Looks like I've missed out on some great news here.
Marg - congratulations - fingers crossed for a BFP for you!
Leis - hope your holiday was brilliant!
Tam - have fun on yours!
Hi Keen and Baby amore - hope everything is well in your worlds!
Hi girls.. just a quick post from good old London Town.. Lol you can't keep me away.. all is good over here..
Marg I am wishing you big sticky huge vibes...
keen hun where you up too?

love leis xx
Hope you are doing ok, Marg.... thinking of you mate.
Hey everyone,
Just checking in and hoping everything is ok.
Still got my fingers crossed Marg...
Marg, hope you are ok
thinking of you all
Hello wonderful ladies,
Just thought I would pop in and say Hi!
I see that it is pretty quiet in here. Is it because you are all busy DTD, or are we going through a slump? I am hoping that I will be (fingers crossed) going to be working only 4 days a week starting from this week. so it will give me time to pop in more often.
luv to all as usual.
Ann:D
hope everyone is missing because they all have graduated and are waiting by the sidelines for the time to announce!
Hi Keen, my love.
yes, it's been at a standstill in here. a lot of the newer members who've had mutiple attempts still post in the LTTTC threads instead of here, and our 'regulars' of this thread have gone quiet. I too am hoping it's coz they're quietly making progress, and need some privacy.
Keen,
are you waiting on the side lines waiting to announce?
Ann
:) yes, are you, Miss Keen?
Would also love to hear if anyone has any good news....
I'm just 'plodding' along - unfortunately no announcements from here.
I wonder with this form being so quiet whether it would be better having just the one LTTC+AC forum, rather than having the two separate long term forums? Just a thought.
Hope everyone is well.
Take care,
Marg
Marg,
there was a big push way back when to have a separate forum for IVF veterans, as it was sometimes difficult seeing someone new come in and fall first cycle, when you'd been trying for so long. But this place has slowed down a lot lately, and I've been wondering the same thing. I'll leave it to the end of this thread (140 posts) and then see how it goes.
Oh ladies i feel so bad now reading your posts, that i havent posted in here for ages
I should really be in here i know as we are starting to consider cycle 9!!!ykes, but i will agree that i enjoy helping out the newbees and have found it in the past to be a bit more busy but lately its ridiculas(sp?) some days i can't keep up.
I do see just what you mean though about the ladies falling first time, it can hit hard, IYKWIM? Im always thinking of you all and i hope you all know that i am here for a chat/yell/ cry (doesnt have to be in that order)
Ann - hows things going - im still seeing Antonia!
Keen - well are you waiting.hehe
Marg- hoping your well
Leis how was the trip??and thanks for the email while you were away
xx
Loula,
No, we aren't seeing anyone. Just going down heh a' la natural road. After all this time, I really don't expect to ever hear any "news", but if I did I wouldn't mind. I'm hitting the old 40 at the end of the year, so I know the odds are definately not in my favour.
Luv to all
Ann
(I still think that Keen is sitting on something!) :pray:
Hi Sushee, I wasn't sure what the history was with the make-up of the forums. I guess as a long-termer it can be a bit tough when someone new appears and falls pregnant first go - although at the same time any wonderful pregnancy story still gives me hope that my turn will come one day. So I don't really mind either way. I just wasn't sure whether I belonged solely in this forum or whether I could drop in and visit the other one as well! LOL!
Hi Ann, sorry to hear there's no news at the moment. I would LOVE the a' la natural road to give you and DH the best surprise ever just when you least expect it! :pray: Take care. xoxo
Hi Keen, Tam, Gargy and Leis - hope you are all doing well.
Take care,
Marg
xoxo
Finally the announancement
CONGRATULATIONS KEEN i want to know all the details!
well done hun
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
What wonderful news! Congrats Keen and DH - this is so well deserved. :confetti:
Take good care,
Marg
xoxo
Thanks Ladies!
I cant believe it myself! I wish I was dragging all of you along with me...
Congratulations Keen, I am so so thrilled for you! 12 weeks already, aren't you good at keeping a secret?
OMG Keen that is just great.... and twins, wooooooohooooo
Over the moon for you and DH, well done
Hope you keep well and will & will be hanging for the next big next announcement.
Are you finding out sex?
Hi everyone
I hope you don't mind me popping in...I've been posting in the LTTC threads and have just stumbled across this one...is this where I should be???? Have been TTC for 8 years plus years of AC...can someone tell me the difference between the threads???
Oh...and Keen...just wanted to say congrats...and from reading your posts and Flowerchilds I am having a phone consult with Dr Gavin Sacks..so thanks heaps for sharing, I'm really hoping he can help us!
Hi Ellie,
yes this is the thread for women who have been using AC to conceive for 3 or more cycles, as a general guide. The LTTTC thread is for anyone who has been TTC for over 12 months. But that's not to say you can't participate in both threads. In fact this thread has been quite quiet lately.
Thanks Sushee...I don't know why it's taken me so long to work it out????
Hi, I'm new to this thread, and to forums! But not new to TTC.
I have a 2 1/2 year old son (clomid) and know I should be grateful to have him (and I am!!) but have been trying to have another for the past 2 years. Fell pregnant 4 times in a row naturally (having a baby seemed to have cured my PCOS) and miscarried them all (which is standard PCOS-so not cured at all) so I was put on Metformin and since then I haven't conceived. Did 5 lots of clomid and then 1 round of Puregon but the cycle was cancelled becasue I had too many follicles. Am now on Gonal-F (day 10) and feeling the pressure a bit. I'm starting to panic cause I turn 38 in Nov.
Anyways, that's my story.
dee
Hi Dee...welcome!
You'll find lots of wonderful people here to share in your journey and offer heaps of support.
Day 10 - that's exciting - hang in there...looking forward to hearing how things go...wishing you a BFP soon xxx
Hi Dee, welcome to the forum and good luck with ttc #2. I know what you mean about your age, I'm 39 and well aware that the biological clock is starting to tick VERY fast. Here's hoping this current cycle is the one and that there is a wonderful 9 months ahead. :pray:
Take care,
Marg
hi all
don't know if any of you remember me - been TTC number 3 for nearly 4 years. Just wanted to pop my head back in as we are officially starting another cycle now!!! Decided today to give one of our frosties ago and can do a natural thaw this cycle!! WHoo HOO!
Got my first scan with FS on Friday to check lining etc, and hopefully have transfer next week. I am soo excited
So i am on day 6 today and its all system go.
Hi Marg and Ellie
Thanks so much for your welcome.
I've been following your posts Marg and think you're so brave and so right to give it a shot on your own. So many of my friend who are single in their late 30's seem to be waiting for mr. right. While I think it would be wonderful if it happens like that, I think they may miss their chance to have a baby. So fingers crossed you get your little baby. They rock!
I am now day 15 and everything seems to be slowing down, my levels haven't even gone over 200-so last month I responded too well and this month too little. Sucks. And it's funny that even though the gonal-f is a much lower dose than the puregon (only 37.5) it seems to be making me more emotional. Anyone else find that? The good thing is that I haven't put on as much weight as I did with Puregon. That's my rant for the night!!
dee
Hi Dee
I hear you...the puregon mad me HUGE...can't believe the weight I put on...haven;t had Gonal-F...so can;t comment...I hope things go wellxxx
Hi Dee - actually I think it's amazing how many women are single and in their late 30's. I have cousins my age and older who are still single and sometimes I can't work out why they don't seem as concerned about their biological clock ticking as I am! Oh well, I guess we are all different. I would certainly tell any woman in her early 30's who does have the opportunity to start a family not to wait. Playing the fertility rollercoaster is certainly no fun. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you Dee. I must admit that I never had many side-effects from the IVF drugs - the only thing my body seems to hate is the BCP.
Hi Odette - welcome back and here's hoping your little frostie does it's thing and this is just a short visit back to this forum. Good luck for Friday. :pray:
Hope everyone is well,
Marg
