Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - April 2008

***Paula*** · April 28th, 2008, 02:50 PM

Good afternoon ladies,

Belinda good luck with the Gonal-F this cycle. Hope it does the trick for you!

Welcome Bailey. First i want to say that you are not alone. We all have these "depression" moments. When everything just feels so hard and we constantly ask "Why me?" No one in my family has had problems conceiving either so its really taken me some time to accept it but i always think that it will just make my bond with my child so much more stronger because i will remember what it took to get him/her here. It must be so hard for you to be away from DH. This might sound silly but is it possible to have his sperm flown over to Spain and to have the treatment there? Best of luck with this cycle. I would also consider moving clinics. I would not be happy with my dr if he was so negative the way you mentioned your was.

Marsh good luck in your TWW. Hope it goes fast and brings some wonderful news!

Sonya good luck with your blood test on wednesday. Hope you can start jabbing and get this cycle moving.

Saph hang in there, all your symptoms sound promising.

Janie i hope you get better and that cold buggers off. Synarel is yucky enough without a cold.

Plc1805 (name buddy) sending you lots and lots of

To everyone else.. i hope you are all travelling along well in all your stages of this crazy journey!

I took my last BCP last night so now i just want AF to arrive. Hurry up you wicked witch, i want to throw you a farewell party for your 9 months long trip

Have a great MONDAY everyone!! And dont forget Big Brother tonight

**JBM** · April 28th, 2008, 04:40 PM

hey all.
it seem so long since i posted but it's only been a couple of days. there was 4 pages of info for me to catch up on.
Marsha: hope your transfer went well, 9 fertilized thats good.

Bailey 2000: wow you are one busy woman, and what a lot to be going thru, i wouldn't be able to do it without dh, but i have 3 boys so i need help!
hoping for some positives to come your way

tiggerlinda: lets all hope that that cyst disappears, lots of prayers.
scooby: i love the idea you gave to bailey about the girlie dvd "the notebook" is the one to watch, i cried heaps, but it was great
sonya1: glad to hear it wasn't 2am, maybe i got confused too , some of the abbreviations are a bit weird.

Belinda: wow starting injections hows it going?
Janie 71: well i think it went fast for me to start sniffing, yes my af came on time
hope your sniffly nose clears up and one more day to start sniffing.
bailey 2000:i'm like you not really lttc but as dh had a vasectamy can't really get preg any other way (morally) WELCOME !
plc1805:i have to be positive and i try to find the good side of everything, sometimes it's hard but i try.
saph204: still praying for BFP for you.

paula: hey i think the idea of an af party sounds good, i've got mine now and i'd love a farewell party, see u in 9 months !!!! yeah

i'm sure i missed someone, sorry. but hi to you and hope your journey is going well.

i got this heat pack thing that is also a massager that plugs in and i'm plugged in now, it's on my tummy as af is not being nice to me this month. i get a bad af every 3 or 4 months . well af came on time although it was a little slow to start. i'm flooding and got clinic visit in morn, rang to check with them.
all is going well and i'm telling myself this is my last af for 9 months!
go away!
i'll let you all know how i go at the clinic. hope it's all good news.

be good, lots of baby dust for you all

Well justa quick update. Nothing to report so I rang the clinic I know I was spose to wait until wed but i have to work on wed so couldn't get to the clinic anyway. So off for a blood test tomorrow.

Hard to be compltetly positive as HPT was negative and you dont want to get hopes up. Will let you know what happens.

**Carla MP** · April 28th, 2008, 08:41 PM

Oh Saph GL for tomorrow..you just never know..maybe you tested to early for the HPT....mine came up BFN......so it proves it can be wrong....GL sweetie Ill be thinking of you..make sure you let us know as soon as you can!!!!

:goodluck2:

**saph204** · April 28th, 2008, 09:34 PM

thanks Carla just keping my fingers crossed at least we will know what direction we are heading in instead of this waiting. We are either up the duff (Charming but it sounds so funny) or heading for another tracked cycle. Either way we will have a direction forward. Will let you know asap.

e OHS, in a couple of days it can subside, remain e same or get worse.

Morning all,

Tiggerlinda thanks for the AF vibes.. I really need them as i want her to hurry up and arrive. Woohoo on Operation Baby! Good luck!

Saph best of luck with your blood test today. Hope you have some fantastic news to report to us by the end of the day. We need lots and lots of preggy vibes in here so i hope you can contribute some!

**~BecD~** · April 29th, 2008, 11:29 AM

Hi all, haven't had a chance to catch up on personals, but am making my return to the thread

It's been nice to take a couple of weeks away from thinking about all this stuff, but I guess it's time to throw myself back into it.

Had my Day 21 appt yesterday and picked up some drugs to start me off this cycle. We are trying an antagonist cycle with Orgalutran at my request. I hate Synarel with a passion so anything to get me out of sniffing the evil drug! We are also starting me at 150iu gonal-f, they wanted me to start at a lower amount but I am not willing to risk having my cycle cancelled again, have been through that too much.

Honestly, I don't think I'm ready to put myself through all of this again, but we are doing it anyway. Financially it makes sense to take as much advantage of the safety net as we can, so here we are. I'm just so scared of something else going wrong. I can deal with getting a negative result at the end of the cycle, just not all the stuff before that, understimulation, not making it to transfer.

**tiggerlinda** · April 29th, 2008, 11:51 AM

Bec D

great to have you back sweet

I am here for you with open arms and support sweet.

Girls - I don't know how to tell you this and I am shaking as I write but I am very weak and couldn't help POASing this morning even tho I said I was going to wait til Sat when AF is due. Anyway, I got a bfp - and it wasn't even FMU. I am only 12dpo so I guess I just need to wait til Sat to POAS again and then see how I go from there - day by day. I am very very nervous but totally aware that I could m/c early and even if I don't, my past m/cs have left me with a lot of issues about seeing u/s's with no heartbeat present. If all goes well and I get to see a heartbeat, I will truly feel this one's for real. I can't believe I am actually giving you all this news, I knew I felt strange and just had to know if it was in my head. Whatever happens, I am not robbing myself of the joy of receiving a bfp ...... finally! U all r the only ones who know besides my DH (not telling anyone else for the longest time) and I'm getting teary just thinking of how much you all mean to me and how grateful I am of ur support and strength. From the bottom of my heart - thankyou.
