Ps I had a BT yesterday and my hcg was 48,000! My FS called me himself and asked me to come in Thursday for an early scan to check "whether there is one or two in there"
My gut says one... But my DH says his gut is wrenching for 2... Everything crossed it is one bubba.

Well, I might be back in here in a little while ... maybe ..
I have some very sad news. My twins have died. I have had a missed miscarriage. Scan today no good.
Very very sad. Just crying. Angry a bit. Just very sad mainly.
I don't know how to cope with this one. It is my first miscarriage. It is so hard for me to get pregnant as well. Obviously.
I don't know what to do now.

Oooohhhhh WW- I feel for you.
:hug:
Oh, WW, I'm so sorry to hear that! We had a mm/c after DD (just before her 1st birthday) and it was like someone ripped the world out from under my feet - everything had been perfect up to that point and we were completely blindsided... It took me a long time to work through all the grief (plus we lost my FIL a few months later, which made it even harder). Honestly, it wasn't until I passed the anniversary of the d&c (ie 12 months later) that I started to feel more normal again. Please know you're not alone and there are those of us here who have been through the same. And you're always welcome to send me a PM if you want someone to talk to. xx
:hug:
Oh worrywart, I'm so sorry to hear that hun. Massive hugs :hug::hug::hug:. I've had an early m/c, and yes, that was so hard to process and accept. I'm always here if you want to talk xx
Sorry I have been MIA ladies.
WW - very sorry to hear of your mm/c, sending massive, massive :hugs:
Hope everyone else is doing well.
My FS had no answers for why AF came 8 days after O - she is baffled, as am I. Doing cycle tracking again this month to see if there is something they may have missed in the levels of my bloods earlier on. Get the feeling I may be a pin cushion again.
WW there are just no words that I can say except im so so sorry, let yourself grieve, it is so heart breaking I'm still not over my mc in August last year ive only just stopped crying
everyday over it even then I'm lucky if I can go more than a few days without crying. Your in my thoughts, I'm so so sorry xxx
Soooo.... Just got back from FS.
Jumping back into another PGD cycle.
This one is a little different from last time- elenova (sp?), instead of synarel and gonal-f/puregon.
Going to also do a pipelle biopsy in the cycle before EC/transfer.
So, starting the pill on CD5.
This will definitely be our final shot.
Quick question I have at least 10 kilos to lose before ivf, I have never fallen pg on the weight that I am but have fallen when 10 kgs lighter ( I have put on weight) my
acupuncturist recommended the HCG diet to me which you are on for 3 weeks intense and next 3 weeks you add more food in I have about 11 weeks before egg pick up , I know rapid weight loss is not that
good but my fs has recommended shake diets to me before, what are your thoughts??

Emma, Juniper, Miss B, Joski, 1more - thank you all so much. I really really appreciate your kind comments and words of comfort. Also, if I accidentally missed anyone who replied, I have been crying heaps and my eyes are bad. It is very sad. I have known about the pregnancy for nearly 5 weeks as we did such an early test, but the twins info has only been 2 weeks - the longest 2 weeks of my life. I was very concerned the entire time due to spotting, but I did have this with DD so I suppose deep down I thought it might ... might be ok. I hadn't really connected with this pregnancy and in fact, I think my body knew something was amiss, because even before the scan, the last couple of days I have been crying a lot for no reason, and felt very not pregnant.
It is hard to go through this. I wonder how long I will be sad, when I will be able to face anyone, when I can think of trying again and how I could cope if I were lucky enough to conceive again.
I really value the ladies on this forum and I know some of you are just trying to have your first bub and I honestly do think (and I know this might be not a popular view) that that is the hardest situation of all (primary infertility). But secondary sucks too. And secondary on primary, so to speak. This experience really makes me feel so lucky to have DD and I will never ever not realise this on every day I think. I feel like I have a checklist of infertility problems and I just have to check off everything on the list though! Silly thought ....
all the best,
WW

1 more please-
I am in the same boat as you.... With less time.
I have heard that 1 kilo per week is a healthy weight loss- so 10 kilos in 11 weeks may be do-able.
I don't think I could stomach the shakes as I am a sooky when it comes to taste.
I am looking into light n easy.
It is quite pricey.
Another option is to use a calorie counter on the computer or iPhone and exercise more frequently.

I'm worried that Tony Abbott's new Audit will affect ivf prices if medicare is changed. I honestly don't know much about it but should I be worried?
Labor had intended to remove IVF from Medicare altogether, so it can't be any worse than what they proposed...
All you can do is read the news stories (which will probably be few and far between) and the parliamentary records (Hansard, I think?). That's what I did when Krudd's government were pushing through the caps on the Safety Net...
Do you think It would be worth making an earlier fs appointment in may instead of june to see her about ivf in case it does go ahead I could do ivf in june instead of july cause
I would think the changes would take place in july???
Any changes to Medicare should come into effect next calendar year (ie 1 January). That's what happened last time.
Thanks Juniper:-)
A big hello girlies :hello:
Sorry I've been M.I.A I've been taking a break while I sorted my head out.
It was a mess!
But much better now and I've learned to smile again.
I'm currently 2 dpo today after a puregon cy.
Same that worked last time.
But I've ditched all the other meds! After so many yrs on them and not really getting anywhere I decided to give my body a break.
After this yr is over and if it results in no baby again I'm seriously thinking of donor eggs :dunno:
Good to see you lovelies again xoxo
And congratulations thirdtimelucky!!
Sigh, CD4 for me please :(. AF arrived 2 days early.
WW, wish I could change it all for you, it's so unfair :( And yes, secondary infertility sucks big time. Fingers crossed that one day you are able to add to your little family. Huge hugs hunni xxxx
Sarah, welcome back hun! Good to see you back to your happy cheery self. Good luck with the new cycle hun!!!
Emma, my FS is big on the Elnova cycle, I did it last year and it was the easiest cycle ever. So gentle on my body, hardly felt a thing. And the pipeline biopsy is something that worked for Vic I think, and my best friend who got it done just before her transfer, and got pg. Good luck hun!
Sorry, I will be back for persies later, sorry if I missed anyone, just quickly catching up before I get myself lost on everyone's progress!
Off to see my FS on Monday, really don't know what to expect :/
Miss.B, is that CD4 on Friday or Saturday? You posted just after midnight, so I'm not sure which you mean... Sorry to hear AF was early. :(
Welcome back S4K.
Sorry AF arrived early Miss B :(
I've had a pipelle biopsy before, with a BFN is the following cycle.
Hope this one is different!
AFM- FS rang at 7pm on Wednesday night, she had been thinking of me, and wanted to tell me to try COQ-10.
I started it yesterday- without having the foggiest idea of what it does?

Emma, CoQ10 is an antioxidant which can help improve egg quality. In the most common form, I'd take 600mg leading up to and during IVF. If you use the ubiquinol form, you use a lower dose (I haven't used that form, so not sure of the dose, but I think I've heard 200mg is the equivalent??). I'd also avoid the cheapest brands - my SIL is a naturopath and she told me CoQ10 can be made from a lot of different sources, some of which you wouldn't want to ingest. Stick with reputable brands, even though they'll cost more. Thompsons was the brand recommended to me, but I actually take the Blackmores (I buy it when it's on sale at Chemist Warehouse).
Thanks Juniper- ended up ringing my naturopath who recommended 'ethical nutrient'.
1 capsule per day- 150mgs.
Emma, juniper is right. For TTC you need to take 600mg every day or it's useless. I've read so many articles and studies on this. Also, both my FS's as well as my naturopath also said 600mg. It also takes three months of taking it to have any effect on egg quality.
Thanks, I'll double check it.
TBH- I've never had a problem with egg quality- think FS just wants me to throw everything at this cycle.
Am I able to join this group please?
Jump straight in :-)
Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?
Then maybe everyone could tell there own stories too- I could do with a refresher :-)
Thanks Juniper, CD5 today is perfect :)
Emma, I'm taking 600 mg of the COQ10. And I hope that this pipeline biopsy is different too!
Welcome Cass!
Sorry, a bit of a whinge. I've got my FS appointment on Monday, and because of the shop, OH can't come to the appointment with me, which really sucks as I really wanted him to be there :(. Anyway, he says to go on my own and tells me he's not happy with our FS as he's promised the world but so far nada. The thing is, I have no time looking for another FS and start from scratch! Panic stations!!!!
Welcome Cass! Please share your story, I briefly saw your post in the other thread - there is a wide variety experience with IVF in this group, hopefully you can the support you need.
Miss B - hugs, that sucks. Is there another FS in the practice group (not sure of what sort of set up your FS has) that you can have your file transferred to if your OH is not happy? That way you won't have to start again, as they will already have all the info.
