Any1 in 1st IVF Cycle???

Hi Mon and welcome.Good luck for the 14th Aug.Which clinic are you going thru?
Hey Shelly where are you???? Has your period come yet????

Hi Mon, Welcome on board the rollercoaster..or is it merry-go-round?

Venus, hope EPU today went well for you and lots of little eggies!

Blayz I am visualising a big fat :bfp: for you

Emma, AF arrived today so everything is on track - and I just remembered I forgot to ring and tell them!:wall:

I don't have to go on the 8th as I got all my meds in one go this time (the upside to being experienced at this now!) As I've done the injections before they have assumed I will remember what to do.. HaHa they need to get to know my brain a bit better! I am in on the 14th for BT and 15th for US. For some reason they don't do it at the same time except on your first round.. not sure why. As this is first child and fresh eggs the clinic strongly recommended only one egg to be transferred because of the complications that can arise with multiple births. If I get enough eggs and have to go again I might consider two.

Sis in Law had a baby girl on Thursday. We went to visit on the weekend. It was hard as I alternated between happiness, sadness, and a teensy bit (well maybe a bit more) of envy. I made good use of the time and checked out all the facilities and nurses though..you know..so when it's my time.....

I have also decided that my job is too demanding to continue while I am going through this. They have been very supportive, but I just can't commit the emotional energy my job seems to suck out of me, so Wednesday is the big R day! I will work through to October 30 and then I can be a lady of leisure woohoo! :dance:

Anyway time to go snort my drugs hehehe!

Cheers everyone

Shelly

Gee Shelly lucky you mine havent come yet:(.It says on my sheet of paper if it doesnt come by the 6th of aug then i have to call the nurse.I guess thats so they can delay everything or cancel it. Yeah im in on the 14th as well for my bloods then my ultrasound. Had a bad day on Saturday but other then that im feel pretty ok. Good luck with the job thing and a great idea to take a break so you can relax and get big fat and pregnant :lol:.
Blayz best of luck:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

hi and welcome mon the girls said it this is a rollacoaster lol..i was in here for a while then left but ill be back in 2 weeks with a bit of luk all the best to you and eveyone else in here,heres to BFP all round

Hey Emma,

I actually asked on my last visit what happens if AF doesn't come before the injections. Would it have to be cancelled again? They said not necessarily, they just do an ultrasound to find out if you have any lining. If that's okay than they still go ahead. They told me that quite a few girls don't get AF and can still keep going. Only I can't remember whether you are supposed to have lining or not...(sorry) As they prefer you to get AF I assume you don't want lining. After I finished the pill first time around it took a week for AF to come anyway. Isn't that the way though, always around when you don't want it, never when you do!:doh:

Anyway, not a lady of leisure yet so off to work.

:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl::bfp::egg::egg: and anything else you are all wishing for girls!

Cheers
Shelly

Thanks for the info Shelly. I have woken up really sick with the flu this morning so im gunna call the clinic anyway.Its always the way when you want them to come they never do but went you don't want them to come they come.

hi shellyd ... know how you feel ... my lil sis has actually gone into labour this morning, so she'll be giving birth today at some stage (so waiting for the phone call to go to hosp.) Pretty excited but also wishing it was me! felt all those emotions you described when i found out she was pregs and throughout! guess that's life! Good thing you're taking time off work! I am hoping I can manage the stress of work! that worries me the most as dont know how I will react to it all! Good thing have you all to talk to!

Venus goodluck with EPU ... let us know how it goes!

Mon :redface:

Hi Mon best of luck with your journey heres hoping it is a quick one for ya!
Venus am thinking of you and hoping your EPU went well. :crossfingers:
To all the others THANKS so much for the thoughts and sticky vibes, am holding onto hope!!!! Been very sore over the last few days, the Dr says it is normal after the EPU still got fluid in the ovaries, will hopefully settle. Am still just waiting til next week.

Hi everyone

I haven't been on here for a while, so trying to catch up where everyone is. I've just been waiting around, have felt much better in last week though after having OHSS.
Tomorrow is the day i go for my pregnancy test, but i wont get the results till Thursday. Isn't it amazing how one day can feel like an eternity!

Sending good vibes to all of you who are waiting, for EPU's or results!

Oh i had a little bit of good news, 13 out of my 17 fertilised embryos were frozen. Yah!

WooHoo thats great news Jewel and 13 :egg:. You must feel like a little kid waiting for santa to a arrive. How come you wont get the results till thursday?? God that would just about kill me and ive have to do a HPT.

Hi all
Welcome Mon! Good to have you on board. I hope your time on BB is short and sweet.
Jewel, I'm glad you're feeling better and I'm really excited for both you and Blayz :crossfingers:
Mumof5 - hope you feel better soon hun.

Well update from me - had EPU yesterday - 8 eggs. I called the clinic this morn and 4 had already fertilised. Mixed blessings - they were not able to obtain anything from DH's TESA, so donor was used. Its a really emotional time for both of us at the moment. I just love DH so much and while he is being absolutely brilliant about it all, I know that its going to take a while for it to really sink in. We are just so grateful that a very generous person out there has donated so that we can add to our little family.
Transfer is tomorrow and we have decided with 2 embies.
Heres hoping for :bellygrowing: for all of us soon.
Thanks for listening,
V

Congrats Venus and i'm sure u'll have double trouble on the way very soon :lol:.

Still feeling pretty crap today so ive had to keep my daughter home from school to look after me.
AF arrived this morning and i welcomed her with open arms for the first time in my life hehehe.
Good luck girls and take care

Jewel GOOD LUCK today, you probably wont sleep tonite waiting for the results!!! Will be thinking of ya!!

Hi All

Hope everyone is going well. Hope all went well with your ET Venus.

Thankyou to everyone's well wishes, I am crossing fingers, toes and everything else i can for a good result tomorrow.

Mum of 5, i live in the country and the blood results get sent over night to the clinic in Adelaide. I have restrained myself from taking a HPT, cause i read that you will always get a positive result because of the hormones you have been taking. Does anyone know about this one? I have been taking Crinone (the progesterone cream).

Hi my dear girls,
Just popping in to let you know that had transfer today - it was a little big uncomfortable but its all done now. The nurses were quite cute ie: trying to distract me with conversation about which side of the suburb I live on - might have had better luck with the weather.
I couldnt help but keep my legs crossed all afternoon - I know about the uterus = jam sandwich thing; but couldnt help myself.
Also a bit surprised about how soon they can apparently tell whether or not are preggies - either next Monday, 7 Aug or Weds, 9 Aug. I thought it was usually longer than that.

Jewel, cant wait to hear from you!!
Blayz - you too hun, not long to go.
Mumof5 - glad to hear AF is here.

Take care
V

Hi Jewels...from what ive been told from other ladies its only when you are taking the shots not 100% tho.
Venus thats awesome news and you only have to wait a week you luck girl. The ladies at my clinic said ive got to wait 14 once ive had my transfer. 19 days to go but whos counting :lol:

MUM OF 5..VENUS..JEWEL..BLAYZ
BEST OF LUK TO ALL OF YOU
ill be back in here soon but hopefully by then you will all be in a TWW or starting PG journals go girls:crossfingers::SAAF::stickyvibesgirl:

Hi Jewel. If you are only taking the crinone supps then this wont affect the hpt. Its only if you have extra pregnyl shots that can affect a positive result. Oh and WOW, 13 frozen embryos!! That is awesome. Good luck with your blood test, i hope you get a BFP!!
