Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - April 2008

[BB73]

Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. After 2 unsuccessful IUI cycles DH and I have made the decision to go to IVF and will begin a short cycle on Friday 25th Apr. I have been lurking both here and the TWW threads for months now, and have been following your stories. I'm looking forward to sharing my journey with you.

Hey Paula, I'm here!!

Belinda

Hello fellow musketeer Lets hope our time in here is short and sweet and we both move onto the belly buddies threads real soon.

Hi Belinda... sorry your last IUI didn't bring you that much wanted BFP, but its great news about being able to move onto a short cycle of IVF. I think part of the reason that I have to do a down reg (long cycle) is due to my PCOS... I've got ovaries with minds of their own! My natural cycle is almost non-existant also. Wish I could do a short cycle... this waiting is doing my head in!

Hi everyone else. Here is lots of to you all.

Still loving these smilies

Hi everyone
Well just got the good news that everything is base line and i can start jabbing tomorrow, woohooo. Got a little bit scared for the first time today, it like woah this is really happening and did i really ever think that i would be doing IVF after falling prg on the pill anyways here we go and i am so glad that im sharing this journey with so many wonderful strong women
DD: that soup sounds awesome, i like the vegimite touch i always use HP so might have to give that a whirl. Thats so funny (wheres wally) but can it be wallamina i would like a girl please
TL: glad to hear your feelin better and good luck with your scan tomorrow, we can become jabbing buddies, what amount of puregon are you on?
Janet: love DS comment, can i get the name of that product ineed some too LOL. So glad your not getting any of the synerel stuff.
Son: thats awesome espicially with the double dose, isnt it funnny that we want AF then dont want it, the witch must feel so unloved
Saph: Thats great news, they say good things come in 3's so keep em coming. Cant believe you have held off this long from evil POAS, well done
Smithy: cant help with the pill thing, but i know i started the pill when i was day 3 of AF but i was doing a pill crossover, do be honest i dont think it will matter too much. Good luck
Marsha: hope the egg catching went really well today and that as i type they are all turning into lovely little ebbies. Goooooo
Paula: not long to go hang in there hope AF comes straight away so you can get going.
Bel: Hope it all flies in thats great being able to do a short cycle, good luck!!!
Janie: yes smilies are awesome athough i miss "spotting" the little dog it was soo cute but the others make up for it.
Well have a great night everyone how funny had to go back and remove some smilies i had too many heehee!!!!

Hi everyone ,

Hope everyone is well sniffing jabbing and whatever else. Well DS was an angel today he was at daycare. Went on a shopping spree with my new found millions. Hahaha.

Right here goes have a yucky question to ask. Does anyone know what happens to you cervical mucus when you fall pregnant? I know TMI but it went the egg white so i though ovulation that was 14 days ago and since then I have had this same mucus. Does it stay like this when preg? Why hasn;t it gone back to the normal creamy. Myovaries are still sore as are my boobies but then at times i have had cramps so I think AF is around the corner. I am so tempted to POAS but maybe it is still to early.

Hi Saph - Not entirely sure but I do know that Clomid can mess with your cm.

Good luck

[scooby]

saph oh i soooo hope you get a BFP, i think u can test 4 days prior to AF. CM i think is usually creamy when prg remember the leukkorhea you have late on in prg similar to that. everything crossed for you. good luck

Saph 204:

Hi Ladies

Thanks for the warm welcome. And I am sorry for not doing any personals today, still catching up on everyones stories. There are alot more of you here than the IUI thread so I have to go back for a re-read of posts.
Picked up my meds this morning and to my surprise the nurse asked me to start the injections today instead of tomorrow. So we are underway! I am going to be using gonal-f this cycle. For both IUIs I was using puregon. Do any of you know if the side effects are similar for both meds, I wasn't a happy girl on the puregon!

[Janie71]

Hi Lovely Ladies

Hope everyone is well. Just wanted to wish everyone a great long weekend. Saph I will be popping in to see how you are going... I agree with the girls... the suspense is killing me!!!! I'll be that AF keeps her ugly face to herself. Being turned off by food smells certainly seems positive...

Belinda, you lucky thing getting to start your jabs today! I've never had Gonal F, but I believe that it is virtually the same thing, just a different brand. I'm sooooo jealous! I'm still on the countdown to starting to sniff This really seems to be the never ending or should I say never beginning cycle.

Janet, hears hoping that AF shows for you on Friday so you can get this show on the road!

Paula, how are you my love? Hope the sniffing is going well.

Carla, how lovely to see you... I hope all is travelling well. I can't believe you are 8 weeks along already! That has just flown by. Here is lots of for you.

Scooby, great to hear you have started on the jabs too! I have so many good vibes at the moment... I think there are going to be a record amount of BFP over the coming month :goodluck2:

Marsha, 12 eggs sounds great! Let us know how you go with your transfer.

To anyone I have missed :loveshower
