Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - April/May 2009

[infinity]

Morning Ladies,

JME, your first FET should be much less stressful. My experience at MIVF is if you have a fairly regular cycle then you'll have a scan about CD 10/11, use LH pee tests until you get a positive then transfer 3 days later. I've been thinking about acupunture too. There are lots of people on here that use it, most seem to think it's great - if not for a BFP then for generally feeling better able to cope.

Bella - officially congratulations!!!! Wishing you a wonderful healthy pregnancy. Will you be sharing the news or keeping it to yourselves for a while?

Loops - hopefully AF has not shown up. My only BFP I was convinced I was getting my AF. I'd even had my emotional meltdown that comes with it. I had a lot of cramping from DPO 10 to 12. We all know what the last few days of the TWW are like so I am thinking of you and hoping you get your BFP.

BOC - thank goodness for Furbaby's. I don't know where I'd be without mine. Loved the quote - so true.

Mrs P - hello. Good luck with the BT tomorrow. After your setbacks its time for a dream run - hoping this is the case for you.

Melissal - I agree with the others about SA results. We are the same as Mollygirl, we did ICSI and have excellent fert rates and fab looking embro's despite DH having high abnormalities - our FS was very unconcered about the SA results as he believes ICSI overcomes most of the problems. Gotta love science sometimes. You can definately still do this!

Hi Possums - nice to 'meet' you, hopefully I can be of some support during your journey. x

From me - Af has not arrived - spotting for 5 days now. What the?? My last FET, AF due on a Wednesday, BT Friday, on progeterone pessaries - no AF but BT BFN, stopped pessaries Friday, AF Saturday. Then this cycle missed ovulation - now three weeks later and spotting for 5 days. Does anyone know if Progesterone support can muck up the cyle following? i am frightened that I may have hormonal issues now. I'm confused and a little scared. Does anyone else believe that IVF may be 'messing' their bodies up?

Sorry - another essay - I warned you all though......

sandygirl- thanks and wishing you all the best too

infinity- sorry I am not sure about whats happening with you...although a friend of mind also going through IVF has had quite irregular cycles going on ever since her stim cycle...so i guess it can muck up the normal cycles of your body. hope things settle soon

[Mrs P]

Thanks for the well-wishes ladies!! I'm so excited to have my BT tomorrow. Am praying that it's baseline - because of my clotting disorder I can't go on the pill so am not sure what they'll have planned for me if I'm not baseline.
Anyway I'm feeling positive about it so fingers crossed. Fortunately the lab is just a couple of blocks away from my work - very convenient!

Here's a silly question - roughly how many days do you need to do the injections b4 EPU? I know it varies, but is it roughly 2 weeks? Trying to get an idea of a timeline...

Hope everyone has had a lovely Easter!

Hi MrsP, hoping baseline for you. I take a liong time to trigger but I think I am the exception to the rule.

AFM still jabbing away but very excited of to Melbourne in the morning with the girls to catch some shows and do some shopping. Have the ice ready for the drugs and the letter for security, sure to get stopped at every check point. Hope it will be all right. Talk when i/ get back.

Hi Saph,

have a great time in Melbourne. I am sure you know that yourself but just in case a quick tip as I did the same with my 1st cycle. I stupidly kept the syringes with the meds in my eski for the hand luggage - got obviously stopped and had to transfer them into my backpack and check them in....

Thanks sara, I didn't know that but I have to do the needle at the airport just before we board. They are the pen needles so hoipefully wont cause any problems. Will put all bar one in my suit case. So glad to see you made it to the TWW have my fingers and toes crossed for you, come on sticky baby.

So Sara, you had to put your syringes, in the suitcase,with your clothes etc, and you could take the meds and iceblock on board the plane. ?

I wouldnt have thought of that. I was going to ask FS for a letter to say what the injections are for, but I realise they wouldnt want the needles on board the plane ..
