GL with everyone's journey! xx
Sorry double post
CONGRATULATIONS TwoMums :happyforyou: After all the stress during your cycles, thats TERRIFIC news! :D Hope all goes well. Take care.
Hi All,
I have been reading threads for a while now and finally took the leap and joined as I feel I need some IVF buddies to get me thru the up hill battle I feel I am constantly on. I have been on progesterone pessary thread but thought I would introduce myself here as this seems to be where the action is.
I have a 3 year old conceived in 2005 naturally (god knows how!) and we have now been doing ICSI/FET since Nov 07 to get our second miracle. I have been diagnosed with PCOS (35) and my husband (36) has low sperm count and motility problems. I just had my 2ww end yesterday with AF arriving very early and have FS appointment to chat about next round on Monday. I have done acupuncture for all my cycles (except the 1sT) and think it does help.
Sending you all baby dust and hope you all get your dream answered....looking forward to getting to know you.
:leap: congratulations 2mums :leap: Fab news!!
AFM- Thanks everyone for the welcome. I'm just quietly lurking while I wait for my IVF journey to start. :bluedust::pink-babydust: to all.
Bella, Cass & Nikki: Nice to see some familiar faces in here, just wish it was under better circumstances.
Oh yayyyy 2Mums:dance::clap::clap::clap:
Such inspiring news - congratulations!!!
Sending lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust: and :goodluck: to everyone else!
TWOMUMS YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:
Congrats!!
Hey Jodz welcome and GL!
Congratulations twomum's :happyforyou: :confetti:
Bella - goodluck for your BT :crossfingers:
Loops - good of luck on your TWW.... hope its not going to slowly for you :crossfingers:
JBM - wow great marks on your test :)..... hope u are enjoying your break
Ella'smum .... im guessing you are waiting for AF so i hope she finds you soon
Baby2bee - i hope your appt went well with the nurses today.... let us know how it all went
Jodz - Welcome..... I'm so sorry AF showed up for you yesterday :hug: Goodluck with your FS appt
:hello: Sandy, Smithy, Lionfish, kmond, lani baby dreamtime, and anyone else i may have missed (so sorry) I hope everyone is well
AFM : i start the pill tomorrow... i got my time table in the mail yesterday so once the 21st comes around we are all set to go :)..
DP had his TESA today. He is feeling very sore and sorry for himself right now....lying on the bed in his jocks with frozen peas on his nether-regions. I do feel for him but at the same time it is just a tiny bit funny:lol:! The scientist said it went as well as it could, she ended up with 2 lots of quality sperm frozen:clap:. When I go for EPU she will try to only thaw one and leave one for later if needed. I hope this works because from the way DP is feeling he will NEVER do another TESA. My workmate got a BFP last Monday (1st try IVF, first try of any ART). I'm super happy for her but this is the fourth person I personally know now to get a BFP on their first IVF try.........I feel like my chances of a BFP on the first try are getting less. I know this is total nonsense and irrational, but I can't help it. Anyone else ever feel this way? I think I'm just being stupid:redface:. Anyway, I'm feeling very happy that the TESA has got us one step closer in what feels like a decade of waiting. :bluedust: Mel...
Congrats TwoMums! That is soo exciting and inspiring to read, especially for a first timer this myself... so so happy for you!:clap::clap::clap:
Hi Everyone, well we had our 2nd beta hcg levels done yesterday and the results are:
HCG = 139
P4 = 334
Not quite a double in 48 hours but they say it takes 48-72 hours to double, so trying not to worry. Good thing is that the progesterone levels are really high with no pessaries or anything, which is a really good sign. I'm scared to leave this thread and go to the PALLTC thread yet... what do you think?
2 mums: praying baby keeps on sticking . i am so happy for you.
everyone else. sorry i am feeling slack so just a "hi" from me.
Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing well.
Just wanted to let everyone know we had our BT repeated on Sunday and got a reading of 96.8 (15dpo) so a :bfp: for us. :cheer::bluecheer: Our long awaited positive.
I hope to see lots more positives in here very soon. :bluedust::pink-babydust:
:goodluck: to all.
Lani - oh wow Congratulations hun :happyforyou:
:hello: to everyone...... hope you are all well
xox
Howdy all,
Sorry been out of loop for awhile - had trouble getting into this forum???
Anyway it is a BFN for me - very disappointed as had blood test Friday and got the dreaded call in arvo but AF has only arrived today so thought I was in for a chance!! But had POAS thank goodness and that was negative so was cautious too!
So I can go straight into a natural FET but not sure how that workd coming straight off an antagonist as I'm sure my cycle will be longer - ovulate later - not sure when I will have my first scan/blood test etc.
We have now had 8 transfers - heading to the ninth!!! Not giving up - as hubby all ok with his stuff and I've been tested for everything under the sun - and only have diminished ovarian reserve. We always have a great fertilisation, freeze and thaw rate so not sure why they won't stick around!!! I even had a week off work this time!!
Frustrating I know but I aint giving up!!
Thanks for all your messages. Good luck to all who are cycling and well done to all the BFP. Thinking of all the BFN :pray:
Pollyanna
Two mums congrats this is wonderful news.
Polly so sorry for your BFN the news doesnt get any easier to take does it.
JBM how are you hun, I am still hanging around, checking up on you.
AFM Last pill last night so now just waiting for AF to arrive. Very hopeful this cycle have lost 10kg since seeing FS and I am feeling fantastic. Looking forward to my trip to Melbourne with the girls even though I will be on stims not big deal for me I am so use to needles. Hoping with the weight loss i will produce more than one follicle. Yay very excited about l;ife at the moment.
Morning lovely ladies!
Firstly a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! :hooray: to twomums and Lani!!! :leap: wishing you both a h&h 9mths!
Pollyanna: sorry to hear the bad news, :hug: chin up chicky, your day will come. Our two lucky friends are proof of that.
Saph: we are both waiting for the wicked witch. I finished popping Fri and by the usual standards today should be the day :crossfingers: never wanted her so much in my life!!!
Mellmell: Good to hear about the two batches. When DH has his done we're hoping for plenty too, for future use. Hope it all goes well for you.
Nikki: good luck with the pill popping. Isn't the wait annoying!
a big :welcome: to the newbies!
and lots of :bluedust: to everyone else!
AFM as per earlier, finished popping Fri and waiting for the witch to rear her ugly head. Still sniffing and feeling like I've been run over by a bus. Although yesterday was the first day of no vomiting so things are looking up! Hate the whole insomnia thing though, averaging 3-4hrs a night at the moment. Kind of comes in handy that I'm currently unemployed I can be a bum all day hehe. Hate to think what it will be like once I start the injections LOL oh well it's all worth it in the end isn't it!
Ok girls let's hope and pray we get a :bfp: bonanza this month hey!
Catch ya all later :wiggle:
I have had trouble this weekend getting into this forum as well, missed you guys!!
LANI - Congrats that is awesome news!!! :dance::dance::dance:
Am still popping pills and checking on all of you.
Hi Ladies,
I'm not new to Belly Belly but fairly new to posting and really need to be able to 'talk' to people that know what I'm going through - this whole LTTTC can make you feel like you're the only one IYKWIM? Was hoping I can join in here? I think this is probably where i might 'fit'.
At the moment I've just had a thaw cycle cancelled due to missed ovulation. So am now waiting for the next cycle. I have no idea what FS is going to do this time. His words 'something fishy' is going on - we don't know why I keep getting BFN when everything appears to be as it should be. Had a scan and blood test on Saturday and a quick chat with FS but no further answers yet. All we know is my progesterone levels aren't optimal.
Congratulations to those ladies who got their BFP's - wishing you happy and healthy pregnancies.
I look forward to chatting with you all and hopefully providing you with some support during your journey. I'm a bit of an essay writer so please bear with me.
lani : yeah !!!!! BFP.
i'm still here guys
Saph: thanks for checking up on me, but not doing much, trying to lose some weight before IVF again. i am being good and having a 6 week challenge, i set myself.
hi all
chat soon
,
Thanks JBM.
I am feeling very tired today.
If you are wanting a helping hand with weight loss my FS advised me of a website CalorieKing.com.au - Australian Online Diet and weight loss club. Lose weight for good! to help. Since joining this free website I have lost 25kgs and am now pregnant. I was having 1300calories and 30grams of fat per day. It is very handy but you must fill it in every day.
All the best for you.
Lani- :happyforyou::stickyvibesgirl: congrats! I might check out that website thanks.
JBM- GL with the challenge. I need to do it as well. I've put on 8kg since TTC :doh:
infinity- Welcome 'officially'
PollyAnna- So sorry for the BFN. I admire your determination though. It's great to have positive vibes in here.
AFM- I'm starting to feel better and starting to prepare mentally to tackle IVF.
Hi to all!
hey there ...
Just poking my head back in after being AWOL for a few months. I'm happy and sad to see a few familiar names in here. There hasn't been too much to report in our journey. I've been enjoying the relative ease of FETs compared to fresh transfer on collection cycle, but we've hit a few stumbling blocks and have actually only managed to complete one FET. Our story just seems to be getting worse and worse ... I'm frustrated that FET cycles have been cancelled two months in a row because my body isn't co-operating. We're being advised to try an HRT protocol but to take a month off first because they don't have a clue what's going on with the last cycle.
I don't wanna take a month off *pout*.
Discussions will continue with clinic tomorrow pm ...
WOW Lani, 25 kgs thats incredible! And it helped to get your BFP. :clap:
I have lost about 14kg and now starting the OCP for my cycle I can already feel weight creeping on, Horrible!!!!!!!! But hey at least I am fitter and healthier than any of my other attempts, it has to count for something.
Infinity - Welcome ;)
on tra_k - Must be very frustrating for you to not know what is going on, and to possibly miss a month!
Well girls here we are again.
Congrats ato all who gor BFP's And to thos who didn't lets all look forward cause we all know we can't change the past.
JBM - :hello: Hope you are doing ok hun xxx
AFM Off to the FS tomorrow to discuss options etc. I am going to look at a nother cycle but am torn between doing another stim or an FET. See last time our 4 embies didn't thaw and if these 3 didn't we would lose a month. Hubby is saying just 1 more stim cycle for this year and then break until next year. As for the embies who knows. I kind of feel bad cause ATM they are suspended in time but I am so scared of thawing them for an FET cause I feel like I am almost killing them.
Does anyone else here do reflexology whilst whilst undergoing their IVF cycle. There is a local lady here and I have heard it supposed to help. She also does massage. I was thinking for a 6 week period of doing 2 sessions. So either 2 reflexology or 1 reflexology and 1 massage. Anyway anyone elses ideas would be greatly appreciated cause I could do with all the advice.
Anyway I will BBL take care and I hope you all have a great day :D
rob: i do acupuncture and have done shiatsu massage which are both safe and excellent for relaxation, but i felt a bit like you, was very scared to thaw that last egg. thing is if it is going to survive or not it doesn't matter when it is thawed ?, don't know . but i did read that if u are stressed less likely to get a BFP for ivf inc FET ? i wish i had the answers for you.
i had to use all my frostys first before we even think of FET.
good luck.
firstly Lani and 2mums congrats on the BFP's that have been way overdue. Hope you both have H&H pregnancy's.
AFM: Well sorry i have been mia for a while I feel like a yoyo atm couldn't get in for my lap until end of june so have to continue to hope all happens naturally in the meantime and then after the lap if things haven't hapened already we start AI am just excited to have a steady footing in this all finally.
It's so great to see BRP's come from you girls because it gives us hope and helps us along and gives us that added strength to fight through it as sometimes our strength seems to leave us and doubt sets in but you gils give us new hope.
Congrats Lani and 2mums!!!!
Hi Lovely Ladies!
How are we all?
Lani: Wow congrats on the 25kgs! My trainer put m on something similar before my wedding and I lost 12kg, and then got a severe bout of food poisining a month before my wedding and lost another 5kg. It's a great feeling isn't it! My IVF counsellor told me if you lose 10% of your weight increases your chances of conceiveng by something like 20%?
JBM: Good luck with that 6 week challenge. For something short term like that have you considered boot camp? It's brutal as hell but gets great results!
Infinity: :welcome:
True Blue: :welcome: back!
on tra_k: chin up, that month will fly by before you know it and your body will be relaxed and healthy and raring to go!
Rob: Good luck with the FS!
sandygirl: Glad you're feeling better! It's such a draining journey.
AFM: AF arrived with a vengence yesterday. First BT this morning. Waiting for the phone call with results to find out when I can start jabbing. Had a hell of a time on Synarel, vomiting 2-3 times a day for almost 2 weeks now, migraines, joint swelling & pain and averaging only 3hrs sleep a night. FS not happy but we agreed we don't want to upset my system by making any changes now, although if nothing improves by mid next week I won't have a choice. Has anyone else had these problems? Anyway it's all worth the casue in the end. Waiting for good BT results and hoping 1st scan will be Friday week. It's all starting to feel real now!
Hey has anyone else had trouble with this forum lately? For about the last week I keep getting error messages intermittently throughout the day then a few hours later it's all ok. Also been unable to make any changes to my profile either.
Hope everyone has a happy & safe Easter, wherever you are & wherever you're going!
