Sue - YAY FOR THE 3 AMIGOS!! :smt041 :smt041 :smt041. Soon to be 3 embrynos!!
Hi Girls,
Chris - I think it depends on which clinic you're with? I had a scan with my HRT FET. I think it was to check the thickness of the lining. Which clinic are you with?
Shazey - (and Chris) I agree with Trish - have a word to your clinic about the payments. I'm sure they will understand!
Trish - I'm not an overly religious person - only when it suits me... 8-[ Maybe it's his/her way of showing you you're not alone and that there are people around you that are there to support you. Maybe you're meant to find strength through each other? Hmm very deep and meaningful of me for a Friday night!! :-s
Sushee - Thanks for asking. I have decided to wait until after exams - unless AF decides otherwise. Its only another couple of weeks away now. Plus trying to see if my ticker will have to drop down to the next line?? Has anyone ever clocked a ticker? Think I might have to test it!! LOL
Magic & Tam - Hope you're both doing okay. Thinking of you.
Hi Mel, Bee & Humphrey! :smt039
Take care girls and have a lovely weekend!
Especially you Ms 3 from 3!!
Love
H
Thanks H (blue sky)
I am with SIVF Newcastle, in my programme sheet they have sent me doesnt say anything about scans (which i had with stim cycle) if i have to have any, only about when to take what meds and when and when to have BTs.
Thanks
Chris
Blue sky :hug: (I love your name makes me happy and want to sing )
I am starting to think that ...signs all about me - you girls number 1 on list
tonight a guy (DS former cub scout leader) came up to me (was in car with DH dropping DS off) and said he read my story in paper some really nice comments about it - I was touched - especially coming from a gent (leman) Most people (especially men) wouldn't bother reading or even commenting :-s It reallysurprised me a man commenting about the story on 'loss' and the second man at that. Sensitive mid 40's guys obviously with wives who trained 'em right...
(BTW This guy's wife in training to be a female 'minister' of some sort -so yes another sign to me)
Beats me why but my own brother/SIL and mother read the article and said 'nothing' at all ... I love them dearly and they have been supportive but I doubt I will tell them till I get a BFP
I have to say the support here is out of this world and heaven sent ...
without you girls I couldn't get by ... the big guy in the sky I know is there for me too but it's different
Hey Heather - btw you are made of strong stuff I would be crazy by now or broke from HPT - bring it on when your ready and exams are over
Chris - your DH sounds such a sweety and will [-o< your puppies sell like hot cakes - I guess we all decide how we feel at the time - to tell or not to tell
They did a scan my first time to check lining on natural FET .
No joke Trish, I was thinking the same thing about Blue Sky name... I think of the blue sky with sun shining and birds singing..
I was going to put that in my last post to her..
Trish - The first lot sold like hotcakes, but for some reason these ones havent.. We maybe considering giving them a start to see how they run, then advertise.
I will see how I feel re continuing IVF next year.. (knowing me, i prob will-DH may see to that).
I am hoping they do scan to make sure no problem with lining.
Blue sky it is a lovely name
Regards
Chris
Chris - great minds think alike :-k
yes - I am singing it now and want to hear the whole sung (will google it)
Now you make me laugh =D> my head off P my ants
but I am so sorry I had to meet this way but glad we did IYKWIM
hey if you are on HRT you should be fine - it will create a comfy little home for your bubbas and they will want to burrow in tight
Someone I met a week ago on the internet sent this to me and I want to share this with my wonderful friends here:
TO THE WONDERFUL WOMEN IN MY CIRCLE
When I was little, I used to believe
in the concept of one best friend,
and then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart
to open up, God would show you the best in many friends.
One friend is needed when you're
going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're
going through things with your mom.
Another when you want to shop,
share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say let's pray together, another
let's cry together, another let's fight together,
another let's walk away together.
One friend will meet your spiritual
need, another your shoe fetish, another
your love for movies, another will be with
you in your season of confusion, another will be
your clarifier, another the wind beneath your wings.
But whatever their assignment in your life,
on whatever the occasion, on whatever the day,
or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym
shoes on and hair pulled back, or to hold you back from
making a complete fool of yourself ... those are your best friends.
It may all be wrapped up in one woman,
but for many it's wrapped up in several...
one from 7th grade, one from high school, several
from the college years, a couple from old jobs,
several from church, on some days your mother,
on some days your neighbor, on others your sisters,
and on some days your daughters or some days ones you know only on the internet
So whether they've been there 20 minutes or 20 years,
ONLY IF YOU WISH
Pass this on to the women that have been placed in your life
to make a difference.
Trish, that is beautiful. And, so, so true.
I was only telling someone the other day that sometimes, I feel I am closer to my on-line friends I've met in here than a lot of my RL friends.
I had goosebumps reading this.
Love
Sue
Hi girls just thought I would check in to say hello
firstly sue 3 from 3 excellent news, how exciting, I agree with you Sue you do feel closer to your online buddies because we are all going through the same thing and its great to have someone understand what is going on.
Trish I have spoken to my clinic and they are usually fine to some extent they will still send me a account every week to remind me I owe them money, they do like the account to be paid by the time of OPU. I was originally going to wait until the new year but my specialist wanted me to do it this month as I have met the medicare threshold and apparently it goes back to square one every calender year which means I would end up with less rebate and having to pay my excess again.
Trish you were saying you became teary after one jab, I am teary just on synarel (how sad is that, very sad according to me LOL).
Confused egg glad to see another Newcastle (Hunter girl) I hope your dogs sell, Im with Hunter IVF and they check your uterine lining during a HRT FET to make sure its suitable for a transfer.
Well AF still hasnt arrived so I continue on the down reg, last time AF arrived 7 days after starting synarel this time Im already up to day 10 on synarel so Im not sure whats going on is this normal ?
Well its a beautiful day today and all I am doing is sleeping and watching TV hoping to get another shift tonight am going out for dinner with some of the mums from my daughters school, having THAI never tried it before but looking forward to trying something new.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and I agree with the girls BLUE SKY definately puts a smile on your face
Awwww shucks! 8-[ Thanks girls. :flower: Glad I could give you a smile! :D
Hi girls, thanks for being a fantastic cheer squad. I'd definitely be lost without you all.
The scientist phoned this morning. 2 eggs have fertilized, the 3rd is still making up it's mind... So, they'll call me back tomorrow.
She said the transfer will be Monday "if need be". Huh? I know she was just being conservative and careful, but aagggghhhhhhhh.
Have been a bit crook today - faint, weak and a little short of breath so have been in bed all day.
Hope you're all doing well.
Love
Sue :luck: :luck: :luck:
Oh, yes, question. The scientist said I had a triple lined uterus and that's what they look for - the dr hadn't written the mm down. What does that mean? The internet isn't very helpful with that.
Hey Bluesky, your sense of humour is a godsend. Hope you're not going insane waiting for AF.
Magic - how are you?
*Tam* - anyone heard from Tam?
Trish, chin up, my first few days this time of meds were a nightmare. My colleagues can vouch for that. I'm telling myself it's a good sign - last time I had no effects like that.
Hi Sushee (if you manage to pop in).
Hope you're taking it easy Bee.
How are you Keen, 1 more sleep? Hope I got that right.
Hope the money situation sorts itself out Shazey. Thai, I love it, hmm sounds good for tonight.
Hi to everyone else popping in.
I'm off to the lounge.
Love
Sue :luck: :luck: :luck:
Yippee Susie! (hee hee that rhymes!) Cant beleive how good 3 is! Thats fantastic \:D/ \:D/ ....not long and they'll be back where they belong. TRiple lined, hey? Sounds promising!! But cant elaborate any more on that - im sorry!
Trish - I totally understand your hesitation to tell someone about IVF but also your need to sometimes have someone who knows whats going on and who you can be upfront with - sounds as though there might be a possibility for a little group at your church, even... just a thought :-k
Shazey - yeah that having to meet the threshold business each and every year makes things hard sometimes, I know. Hope it all gets sorted for you soon. I know with my clinic - no money, no OPU.
And youre right Trish - what would we do without the sanity saver that is our online buds :grouphug:
I have decided as of this morning in the shower - that Im not going to be sad anymore - simply not going to allow it [-( well thats the plan.... hope it works out. Starting Puregon tomorrow with Lucrin shots starting on Thursday... love when things are happening again (sad isnt it!)
Hey Keen - love the mindset :cheer: . Question - you start Puregon before Lucrin. Please explain??
Oh Im so #-o !! I meant to say Provera not Puregon! Thanks for pointing that one out.... Im such a dufus!
No need to apologise - I was thinking it might have been a new protocol. I wasn't being a smart ar$e.
Hey, we're all dufus'ssss atm!!!! It's essential criteria for the bus ticket!!
Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and an extra long weekend for those of us in Melb (if you are lucky enough to get Mon off as well). I'm anxious to hear how Magic is going. I feel it will be good news so I definitely hope I am right. Apart from bloating and not being able to go to the toilet I am feeling fine and dandy. Off to yum cha with friends for lunch today :eat: Not sure that will help the digestion much but what's a girl to do... put life on hold while trying to fall pregnant... 8-[
Hey Bee, hope you enjoyed Yum Cha. A good way to excuse the bloating. Yum....cha.... sorry, that wasn't even funny.
Well, I'll have 2 to take away tomorrow at 1.30pm The embryologist phoned at 1.50. Nothing like keeping a girl waiting... not that I was climbing the walls or anything :roll: The 3rd egg decided against the idea.
Won't be going through the drive-through though. I'm hopeless at driving in Sydney so will be training and bussing it. I've decided to leave at 9am. Gives me time to get lost and then get found again. Gunna make an adventure out of it and stop off halfway home and do a spot of shopping.
Hope you're all doing well.
Love
Sue :luck: :luck:
Sue
best of luck tomorrow for your ET - girl you are made of tough stuff ..
you obviously have great personal strength to have gone through so much in your efforts to become pregnant, wishing and sending you the strength to continue on this train/bus journey to bring home your bubs.
I will be thinking of you [-o<
Thanks Trish
I wasn't so tough on Wednesday night - real tailspin territory. Settling down now though. Focussing on the shopping at Hornsby Westfield!!
Love
Sue
Sue
good luck tomorrow for your ET, hope everything goes well I bet those little embies cant wait to get home.
Well Im still waiting for AF to arrive and boy it is taking its time I have now been on the synarel for 11 days four days longer than the last stimulated cycle. I was just wondering if anyone else suffered from tender breasts whilst on the synarel, I didnt notice it last time on synarel only when I was on the injections were my breasts tender.
Well we still havent worked out whether we will go ahead with this cycle so we are just taking it one day at a time.
bluesky has AF arrived yet, I think she might have left the country, please send her my way if you see her.
I hope everyone else is fine and enjoying the weekend
Hi Sue,
Good Luck matey for tomorrow..
I agree with Trish, you are made of tough stuff and do have personal strength.
<chris blows :bdust: :pdust: to suziQ>
Regards
Chris
Good luck tomorrow Sue!! Will be [-o< [-o< for you and the dynamic duo!! :bluestick: :bluestick:
Love
H
Hey Blue, dynamic duo - love it. DD - hopefully that will be my cup size in a few months....
Any sign of AF? Car 54 where are you???
Nope, :af: free zone here so far!! 8-[
You must be going mad.
Car 54, cycle day 54...get it! Think I'd better go to bed.
damn Blue you must be absolutely going out of your mind with the waiting... stupid AF never around when you want her, but constantly knocking at your door when you dont - TYPICAL!
Sue.... counting down and getting so very excited for you and you Darling little Double Act!
Hi all,
Sue, by the time you read this, you'll be mum to two lovely embryos! I will endeavour to do my best this week to keep you sane in the 2WW!
Keen, wooohooo on starting the meds! I like that you've decided not to be sad anymore, I know it's a hard thing to do. But a new cycle equals a new chance.
Blue, AF not arriving for this long is pretty amazing. AF witch, where are you?
Shazey, great news about the clinic and the money side of things. I agree, I hate when January comes around and you have to build up your safety net threshold all over again. This year when I was told that the threshold had restarted, took me completely by surprise and had to do some quick side stepping with my finances! And it was a cancelled cycle too!
Trish, the post you put up was lovely, and so true. I think IVF is so lonely sometimes, and I know that BB has certainly saved me from depression and despair many times.
Magic, thinking of you, hun. And definitely of you too Tam.
love
sushee
Shazey, my boobs kill whenever I do a cycle regardless of what kind. This time (pick up cycle) they have been the worst - it kills to lay on my side in bed. And it's not like they are huge to start with so :smt102
Hi Blue
Are you waiting on AF, to do another IVF cycle.
Is your cycle regular anytime at all?
The reason i ask is my cycle is up the creek and I have to have AF brought on by tablets and was wondering if that they would have considered that at anytime.
I am on tablets for 10 days and AF comes 1 1/2 -2 days later.
Regards
Chris
Hi everyone
Magic and *Tam* hope you're both doing ok and will be able to pop back in real soon.
Hey Blue, what's new?
How are you going with the Puregon Trish?
Hi Sush, long time no tap - how are things progressing for you?
Hope the meds are treating you kindly Keen. Hmm, gotta get Santa's address for our letters.
Chris, great to see you! Not long for you now.
Hey Shazey, hope AF gets her butt into gear for you. Just don't send her over to the coast please.
Well Bee, looks like I am now officially in the 2WWWeirdland with you.
The dynamic duo and I are home. A lady from another board who lives around half an hour from the hospital offered to take me - so I accepted. It was kinda like a blind date!! We got there an hour early - someone had phoned to say they'd been caught in traffic, so I was 'done' an hour early. Yep, everything is being done so quickly this time. 1 embie 8 cell the other starting to compact. Apparently this is good..... So, the kids have already had their first shopping trip (hmmm, wonder if I should count that as an IVF expense), their first takeaway (a healthy sub of course) and their first train ride. We all did a bit of walking too. Now we're resting. Have decided I need to come up with a male/female duo name - Batman and Robin is a little sexist. Any ideas???
Anyway, I'm starting to rave - just so gobsmacked by the speed of everything. Also, by the support I've received from all of you.
Hi to anyone else popping in.
Love
Sue :luck: :luck:
Sue
I am so happy for you those embies sound great ...
Puregon is okay felt bloated last night and putting on weight ++ and not from eating
I hardly feel injections - first blood test 3rd so will see what is happening
A Message from Sheree (Magic)
Unfortunately, Sheree got a BFN this time.
Chin up Sheree, we're all here when you're ready.:
I am great and taking 3 months off. Hoping for a miracle natural conception while on some natural therapies.
Love
Sue
Sheree
:hug:
I am so sorry for BFN - no words can really comfort ...the extreme unfairness of life when we lose precious babies or our attempts to get pregnant are twarted over and over
Take care of your heart and I hope natural therpaies work a miracle.You really deserve it
WE all know you 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 when you are ready.
We have all appreciated your support here and we will miss you
For now be gentle with yourselves, grieve and cry as much as you need to.
I will be thinking of you for November for EDD of EP.
Great news Sue - hope your little marshmellows are nice and toasty in your belly belly.
I've had my first meltdown today thanks to the Gonal F. DH was the recipient of course and is treading very lightly around me atm. I'm just feeling a little alone this time and not getting enough support from him. He is so blase about the whole thing and forgets how physically demanding it is as well as mentally. Just need to get through this month...
So sorry for you Sheree. I have no words for you just my sincere sympathy.
Tam - are you OK honey? Come back to us when you're ready.
I'M BACK!!!
Just popping in though, not sure if my story got around, I'm ok.
I've been on a weekend away and just got back. Had a good time.
I'm going to go back & catch up on everything first.
see you soon
I'm in the dark Tam.... would love to hear what's been happening with you.
Am glad everyone is doing well:
Bee, well done on EPU & ET, and I agree that the saying does wear off a bit, I try never to use those exact words myself. Good luck.
Sue, well done to you too, it was quick, what CD are you?
What are you beta dates Bee & Sue.
Shazey & Blue Sky, I guess the AF wait helps you out with deciding on the path for your next cycle. It's just the pain of the wait in the meantime.
Keen, thumbs up to starting your cycle again & the positive attitude, I think mine actually dipped in the last cycle.
Trish & Humphrey, yay on the Puregon start, that's a sign that it won't be long.
Take care
Well my story is that I had 2 pregnancies!
One from each of my last 2 HRT FETs.
I rang to get my beta a day early (last Tuesday) because I had a pain on Monday afternoon & some slight spotting in the morning.
The result showed that I was 6-7 weeks pg (>20,000)
Could I have been pg before this cycle started? No, back to back FETs.
Went in for an u/s, showed a possible cyst on the ovary, nothing in uterus.
Then ended up at the public hospital with referral, thoughts were of an ectopic pg!
I was admitted and u/s the next day showed possible cyst (2cm) and also a sac in my uterus. (hcg now >30,000) I had all the doctors interested at this point, not really sure what was going on. Lap had to be done but couldn't fit me in on Wednesday. Wait for tomorrow.
Thursday couldn't get in for lap until 7.30pm. In the mean time I had started bleeding. Results showed that the 'cyst' was actually an ectopic pg (just about ready to burst). My right tube was lost in the process.
On Friday, a repeat u/s showed my other pg had gone as well.
It is an extremely rare medical name of being pg from 2 consecutive months at the same time.
So in the end have ended up with no pg, but are positive that we did have success, each FET worked.
And now feeling a bit sorry for myself physical wise, stitches come out tomorrow and continue to recover.
We were going to have a break if not successful by the end of the year but have now decided to have a break until the new year.
Looking forward to being ME again for a while & enjoying my DH, Family & Friends.
I will not 'go away' because I too know the value of my internet friends.
I just hope there are some left before I come back (not really, I hope to see you in the pg forums)
Take care
(Oops, better change my signature)
Tam
:hug: om gosh - I just don't know what to say
your poor thing I am so sorry for your ordeal - and so very sorry for your loss of your babies and right tube.
I know you sound incredibly strong -just to post this but take time out for yourself , hug your man tight and your DD and love the ones you are with and let them love you.Grieve and cry as much as you need to.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.I wish you strength to continue this journey and healing both physical and emotional.
with love,light and hope
