Bugger about the fight with your mum Leis. I hope you sort it out and good luck for Friday.
I just found out that my niece and nephew were baptised at their school today. They are 6 and 8. This might not sound like a big deal but I come from a really close family who talk about everything all the time and there is only my sister and I. I'm baffled that nobody mentioned this to me before today and even more baffled that my brother-in-law's sisters are the god parents. Up until about 9 months ago my brother-in-law hadn't seen his sisters for about 5 years. WTF???!!! My sister rings me nearly every day to see how I'm feeling and she just forgot to mention this??? I'm not so much angry but completely bewildered. :(
-
Oh Bee, that must be so sad for you. You don't need any upsets atm. :hug:
As you are a close family, I'm taking an objective standpoint on this one.
Does your sister know about this IVF attempt? If she does, it may be quite possible she thought it may upset you to talk about today? If she calls every day to see how you are, it's seems unlikely that there is any ill intent.
How do you get on with BIL? Is there any chance it may have something to do with him? Strange about the sisters though - :-k . Unless he's trying to make up for lost time. Possibly this is the case and your sister, again, didn't want to upset you atm? Or, could it be a case of her not having a say in it?
I hope I haven't offended with any of those maybes. Just throwing things up to see how they land. This is too painful for you so atm you probably can't think straight about it.
Whatever the reason, it's still so hurtful. I feel for you.
Take care and remember we're all here for you.
Love
Sue
:luck: :luck:
-
Sue, absolutely no offence taken and I think I've come to the same conclusions as you. No bad feeling between any of us, including BIL, so definitely no ill intent but I think it may be a case of everyone trying not to cause me angst. They all know about this attempt but I just feel left out. You know how some people try so hard not to upset you that it becomes really obvious they are avoiding the subject. It's not like our family is religious so maybe they just didn't think it was a big deal... Oh well, time to concentrate on tommorow's outcome I think...
-
I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes you end up feeling like you have leprosy!!! I guess it's only because they don't know what to say or how to say it. So they think saying nothing is the safest. Proves they care about you though.
Yep, good idea. Write that worry on a piece of paper. Put it in an envelope. Then, deal with it after tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the only thing you need to be thinking about now.
Take care and try not to worry about it.
Love
Sue
:luck: :luck:
PS Went to Spotlight for curtains - came home with cushion covers (33% off). Went to Bunnings just for fun - came home with 2 well established plants and some seasol - they didn't charge me for one of the plants. A good shopping day I think.
-
Bee, I have been thinking of you lots the last few days. Seems like the longest 2WW ever to me, but you seem to be standing up to it really well. [-o< This is it for you and your family won't have to feel uncomfortabel about you any more.
Suzi, am also thinking of you - yours is the 2nd longest 2WW ever! I don't know how you can stay home, I need to be at work to keep my mind off it or I go crazy.
-
Don't worry Anney.
I had my meltdown with a neighbour yesterday (it's been a long time coming) so have things planned pretty much for every day until beta now. I was intending on working but I've got a bad habit of setting impossibly high standards for myself - better off not being there!!! Plus, the hormones may have resulted in a murder.
So good to see you.
Love
Sue
:luck: :luck:
-
Sorry to hear about that one Bee, at least your sister rings every day, mine didn't even ring at all during our IVF even with our BFN she didn't make an effort, but then managed to call and let me know two days ago what my neice (her daughter) would like for her birthday??? As they say you can choose your friends but not your family....
Hope everyone is ok... love and hugs leis xx
-
Well, the dreaded witch turned up this morning. I wasn't very happy so have sent her off to Heather's and told her never to come back. Off to have the BT at 9.00 anyway...
Has anyone ever mentioned how crap this is??!! :cry:
-
Oh Bee.
Tears. I'm puddling up typing this. Is there any chance it may just be breakthrough or implantation bleeding?
It's much more than Cr*p. It's F!#%*^g Crap. Totally sux.
I know there's absolutely nothing I can say that will make you feel better.
So, so sorry.
Spend plenty of time railing at the fates - you deserve to after all this time.
Please, take good care of your heart.
Much Love and :hugs:
Sue

:hugs:
Oh Bee honey.. this whole TTC roller coaster is just horrible isn't it honey! I so know how you feel. The day my BT i got bleeding too and it was actually more like a flood. Just wait honey until you get the results though. Thinking of you sweetie...
Will check in when i get to sydney... love and hugs leis xxx
-
Oh Bee, I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself.
Thinking of you...
-
Bee sorry to here the witch arrived, hopefully like the girls said (we pray that it was implantation bleeding) I think we know in ourselves whether it has worked or not even though we hope and pray it has. Look after yourself and DH like the girls said this IVF journey is such a emotionally and physically draining process, just remember we are all here for you whenever you need us.
-
Oh bee, that is so cr*p. I'm so sorry hunny, was hoping that after all you'd been through, that this would have been the time for you.
love
sushee
-
Bee I am so sorry - hope it isn't over yet.
you obviously have great personal strength to have gone through so much in your efforts to become pregnant, and I hope you will now find the strength to continue on this journey. As the others have said be gentle with yourselves and look after yourself.
-
Bee, this is crap, & even more that just normal crap like Sue said.
Always hope that each cycle it 'it' for everyone here & so really feel for you at the moment.
Take care. And remember the Vent forum is there (or here if you like) to get it all out.
-
Oh Bee :hug: - my heart aches for you petal. Hope it was only implantation bleeding. Take care pet
Love
H
PS - AF come here and leave all the girls alone or I'll whip your ass I swear!!
-
Hi everyone. First of all I want to say thank you so much to all of you. I read your posts and they made me cry but at the same time I felt all warm and fuzzy so :grouphug:
I have a level of 8 which means I have to go back on Monday a redo the BT. They class 100 as pregnant so it is probably from the Pregnyl but because it isn't below 2 they are required to test again.
-
Well Bee, it's not definitely over yet then. Monday is gunna feel like forever away. You've stayed so sane over your 2WW too.
I know you probably feel like you're just hanging in there by your fingernails. But, you are still hanging in there.
Take care.
Love
Sue
-
Bee, I found out last week that I had a hcg level of 5 when I had the BFN which was actually my ectopic pg. Late implanter.......
It is a long wait until Monday, shame you couldn't test earlier.
Hope you have something planned for the weekend to help you along your way.
How about you Sue, how are you feeling, when's your last pregnyl shot?
Trish, how're you feeling. I remember the days in between EPU & ET as very harrowing. Waiting, waiting for someone to call with numbers. Very stressful.
Hope everyone else is well, take care
-
Hey Tam
How are you? Hope you're feeling ok.
I had my last Pregnyl shot on Sunday. Today is 13dpo and 10dpt. AF due on Saturday.
I've decided a little retail therapy is the only real distraction. Had a great day out today with Chris (confusedegg). Shhh, I'm not saying a thing about wrong turns [-( We had a lot of laughs. Unfortunately, it's the grocery shopping tomorrow. Chippies. Not going near the mint slice though.
Take care
Love
Sue
:luck: :luck:
-
Bee,
I hope that it is just a late implantation and that Monday brings a good result, but bummer for having to wait over the weekend. So sorry today couldn't bring you a definite answer.
Take care of yourself, pet.
Mel
-
Oh Bee, I really hope that the next few days fly for you and that Monday's BT brings you wonderful news!! I'll keep everything crossed for you.
Sue - what? No mint slices?! C'mon, don't let the side down! At least one packet has to find it's way into the shopping trolley! LOL
-
Girls, I'm a bit confused. From speaking to the nurses today I was sure that I wasn't pregnant and that it was the Pregnyl giving me a reading of 8. I understand that this is most likely the case but from you guys it sounds as though it could still possibly happen. Don't get me wrong, I honestly don't think I could be pregnant after the way the witch appeared this morning but I'm interested to know about everyone elses levels. To be honest I've never even had a reading before on a BT and I didn't know what level was needed!
-
Hi Bee
I only ever got to Beta once, and that was in 1997. So, I'm not much help.
But, I will PM a website Magic forwarded to me. It may help.
Good luck.
Love
Sue
-
Bee,
I had never had any kind of positive before either so I felt kind of the same really. It was strange and sort of frustrating to have to wait for that second test but it should give a better idea of what is going on.
My first reading was lowish I think and at the time, they told me the same thing as you ... they considered 100 a positive. They were very careful not to say that I was pg at that stage because the situation was still unclear. I remember Sally I think it was saying that if the levels doubled by the time of the next test, it would look promising.
I just have everything crossed for you, pet and so hoping that it works out on Monday.
-
Bee,
You might like to look at this thread - Suggested HCG Levels in Pregnancy. It's something that I posted a while ago and is taken directly from my very own pathology results when I had Beta HCG testing done. On each report, they always gave the 'suggested ranges' as a guide and comparative tool.
I hope you find it useful.......
-
-
Bee, my next question was to ask whether it was bleeding or spotting that you were having. Spotting may be ok but maybe otherwise if it was bleeding.....
Sorry to possibly put a downer on it, but when I started 'bleeding' for my natural m/c I just knew what it was. There was no way anything was surviving in there at all.
I had my next follow up BT today, making sure my hcg levels are going down, but they are still 110 so I'm back next week for another test. They told me it needs to be down to under 10 to stop monitoring.
I think my body must like hcg or something??
My body doesn't make enough progesterone but it holds onto hcg, Mmm, can't work Me out!! lol
-
Hi Tam. I definitely think the bleeding was enough to call it a day on this one but I feel kind of excited for the next go now. Don't ask me how, but I've picked up some hope from the bad. Blame it on the hormones!!
-
Bee,
As horrible as it sounds, I understand you taking hope in this cycle, for all the sadness that comes with it. I longed to get some hcg in my system in my first 7 cycles, anything to show that it's possible, and just a matter of time. I can't complain about how things turned out, of course, but a reading, however small, may have made it a bit easier for me to keep going.
Matey, I'm excited about your next cycle too! That is, unless there's a little fighter there hanging on....
love
sushee
-
Hi All,
Terribly quiet tonight.. teach me for procrastinating..
Bee - I hope it works out for you this cycle. I know how you feel looking forward to the next 'go' though. It makes it easier to deal with somehow. I keep getting told that it is good that there was HCG? I'll have my fingers crossed for you.
Sue - fingers and toes crossed for you petal!!
Trish - hoping those embies are growing strong in the petrie dishes!!
Leis - hope the op went well
Shazey - how's the jabbing going?
Magic, Mel, Sushee, Tam, Chris - hi, hope you're well!!
Have a great weekend girls. I'm starting to panic about my exams next week... hmm now what was that formula?? e = mc hammer? ](*,)
Take care
H
-
thanks Heather
the scientist hasn't called so I am expecting they will by Sunday to confirm our transfer Monday :-s
When does your HRT FET cycle start ?
Been quite everywhere
-
Hi Trish -
My cycle has started I guess. Go for a scan next week, t/f might be late next week, depending on how things look at the scan. Havent bothered changing my ticker or details on the front page as I'm a bit slack #-o .
Hope there's lotsa embies for you to choose from on Monday!!
Cheers

Heather
I knew AF stuck her head in ... but I have only had natural FET -so not sure what they do.
How many snowbubs or frosties do you have ?
HRT cycles move fast I know that much as long as the bod coperates and makes a warm nest for the little'uns - are you having 1 or 2
I am [-o< [-o< like crazy - better get the courtage to email our minister and for his & wife prayers too -they might have more pull with man upstairs. I am too shy - BUT I think he might suspect or have inside info.
If they want to build the church up - I'll put my hand up :-$
The other minister said one day everyone should have more kids (both have 4 ) - I wanted to put my hand up and ask questions - HOW ? show me
-
Hi
I've been on progynova & if this cycle is like the last, will start on the yukky pessiaries after the scan & continue after transfer. Might ask that they up the dose this time although am not sure it will make a difference? Will be transferring 2.
LOL - 'show me' to minister... oooh eeer!! I think you will know when the time is right to mention it to your minister. I should hope that they would be mindful of your shyness and would and would keep things confidential. I will have you in my [-o< as well! (even if I'm lower in the chain, can't hurt huh! he he).
I'm soooo wishing for lots of BFPs from the LT TTC forums for xmas. Might have to write to santa...
Take care
H
-
Good idea Heather
He is actually very nice and very open so it just means catching him - DH is good at telling people - me I would be embarassed telling him -girl stuff and his wife is so busy. She works herself /Children's ministry head and own 4 kids (though older)
So I will ask DH to ring him. He told us in small group about many couples having done IVF.
He talks to us about losing Charlotte and last night asked me to write something about my experience especially with Charlotte (suspects he wants to put in bulletin) -lucky only 150words -though I could write a thesis LOL
Goodluck with your 2 have you thought of 'names' like Sue's J & C to make it ineresting ?
thanks for [-o< -will put you on my list too
-
Hi all hope you are all well...
Well yesterday I had the op, and all went ok. As expected it was Endometriosis, but as i saw the Dr not long after coming out of theatre i don't recall to much, but I am seeing him again on Tuesday for a follow up. Apparently there is some on my bowel and bladder which will be removed with another op sometime soon, but i am just glad that they now know what is going on. I feel much better now.
I am very sore from the incisions, i have one incision over each ovary and then one in the navel, all stitched.
Anyway ladies i hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves... love and hugs
leis xx

Leis :flower: :hug:
Hope it means you can have a fresh start - a few ladies in ltttc had severe endo and are now very pregnant.
Melbo is a good lass to chat to - PM her
Hope you feel better soon , that you have no pain and healing is speedy.
May Tuesday bring good news
The little stitches get very itchy(esp under the opsite -clear sticky dressing) I had 4 one in navel /pubes and l & r - they weren't painful but annoying after first day. :gossip: Especially the sticky dressing in my pubic hair - my gosh why would they do that - nearly gave myself a brazillian taking that one off
