Cass, hi and welcome! :hello:
Miss.B, sometimes a fresh approach can make all the difference. We did 4 IVF with our first FS (plus 6 IUI and 1 FET) and he never got us a BFP. Our first IVF with our second FS (after he did a lap and diagnosed and removed my endo) gave us DD.

Hi guys,
So so sorry I haven't been in here to support everyone - I feel selfish and guilty, you have all been so wonderful and caring towards me.... I apologize I cant do persies, I have HG and have been soooooo sick, vomiting about 15 times per day and I had the whole of last week in bed:( No uni, no work, not even able to look after any of my children :( it's just been evil.
My scan went well. One very healthy bubba with a beautiful, strong HB :)
WW I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I wish I had have seen your message earlier, but this is the first time I've felt well enough to pick up my iPad so I haven't even been stalking... All my thoughts are with you. I can only imagine how devastated you must feel.. I am here as well if you need anything or just want to talk:( I wish I could say something, anything else - that might take away some of your pain... I so hope that the future brings happier news for you. In the meantime, try and hang in there.... Time does eventually heal....
1 more please, I have a friend who has lost 20kgs in the last 11 weeks! She has done it without shakes, eating a high protein diet with only lean fish, chicken and a small amount of red meat with steamed green veggies for every meal! And she has been exercising daily - a walk, or a class at the gym etc... No sugar, carbs, pasta, bread or rice and I think she is off the caffeine and also fruit (sugar) as well. I think 10 kgs is achievable - if you radically alter your diet and introduce some moderate exercise, I think it's 80per cent diet and 20 per net physical activity. Good luck - I'm sure you can do it!
Everyone else I will be back... miss B and juniper I have been thinking of you endlessly.... And sarah4kurt I am so glad you are okay.... Sorry everyone else, I will be back. Positively - how are you? I have been thinking if you a lot as well (I promise I will respond to your email today or tomorrow) xx
Hi Lovely Ladies, Happy Monday to you all!
WW - I am so very very sorry hun, sending big virtual hugs your way as you undertake this very difficult journey. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love & Light to you and DH. I am still not over my miscarriage which was back in March 2011 I still have moments where I reflect and think about the what if's etc but time has healed it somewhat which I am grateful for. I wish you well x
Emma - GL with the PGD cycle hope you get some exciting news real soon. As for the C0 Q10 Ubiquinol I take a brand called Metagenics and I am also only taking 150mg as per my Naturopath it's supposed to be a higher potency so perhaps that is why some of us are taking different dosages. GL with it all hope it works for us!
Joski - Hope you get some answers from your FS, all the best
1more - I don't have any advice re weight loss but I have heard 1 kilo a week is good so you seem to be on track. As one of the Ladies said exercise will also help you don't need to join a gym just walk the dog everyday, cheap and easy to do and the pup is happy too :) GL I am holding all my fingers and toes for you! Oh yes and I am with Juniper on the medicare changes when they change something like that it is never introduced overnight they usually give plenty of warning so I think we will all have the rest of this year before changes....that's if there are any, fingers crossed not!
Sarah - welcome back...so good to see you again and so happy to hear you are back in a good place
Miss B - I have the same issue you do re my DH not being happy with our FS and I can see why but then we have only been seeing ours for a year now so I am going to have one more round of IVF with him and then decide what's next for us if we don't see some results
TTL - So very happy for you and the news there is only one bub on it's way, well done :)
I am sorry I am not coming on often as I said i am trying to take a step back and not be so obsessed...so far so good
Love & Light to you all, GL and loads of baby dust too xx
Sarah so pleased your back and feeling good. How's the puppy? I forgot how naughty puppy's could be lol xxx
Thanks 1 more please :-).
Puppy is good, getting bigger!
Yeah too right about naughty! Lol, I thought at first ebony would be good at toilet training because I was doing good at getting her out onto the grass. Alas she's regressed now even when she's been in the yard all day the first thing she does inside is run to carpet to pee! Don't know how to tackle it but that's another thread lol.
How's yours?
WW just want to give you a big hug, there are no words.
Afm, 6dpo today and sore boobies fading ... Sigh.

Great news, 1moreplease! Really happy for you.
Thanks Sarah sweetie, that is really lovely.
Thanks Positively.
TTL, thanks and best of luck.
Also, I think maybe Emma you were asking about CoQ10. As Juniper and N2L said, the research studies used 600mg dose and I would take that dose, if you can. But as for me, I cannot do those kind of doses. I think that perhaps I may get adrenal fatigue or something from too many supplements and also sleep issues from all anti-oxidants, like omega 3s, vitamin e and in particular Coq10. I could take it at 4 in the morning, I am jazzed for that day. Maca is the same. So, if you are sensitive, I wouldn't worry, just try to take the highest dose you can without compromising your rest and relaxation levels. I don't know. I just wanted to put that out there. Sometimes there is pressure to do everything perfectly according to the studies, like TCM and acupuncture and for me, anyway, it creates stress, sometimes outweighing the benefit ... I think. Who knows??
AFM, it is a very sad time still. Tired and really flat from all the blood loss and cramps. Feel like endo is worse, which is upsetting because I only had the lap in Feb. Starting to feel really sad about the twins and thinking about twins a lot. Getting chromosomal test results next week, I hope. The FS and the obstetrician we were seeing ... they are just so ... male!! Just really clinical and just clearly not emotionally with us at all. Which is fine. Good doctors are usually not great emotionally, and we just want the science ... but you know. A bit isolated too because DD is sick with common cold. It is actually good though because I am not ready to see anyone. I just wanted to know, and I should maybe PM you Juniper because our scenarios are crazily similar, but how do you keep trying? I want to, but I feel so stressed when TTC. Right now, I am actually happy that I have no idea what is happening in the body, no idea when O time will happen and am still being granted the "gentle" treatment by friends and family. The idea of facing another ovulation or failed cycle, natural or jesus IVF (feel sick typing that) ... it is too much right now.
All I can think about are obstacles: overall I have been trying to have kids for nearly 8 years including 6 months clomid, 3 IUIs and many IVF stim cycles, with maybe 5 transfers overall (we had a cancelled cycle or two in there), severe endo, AMH is 1.3 (that was a year ago!), now adenomyosis too, male factor, now miscarriage ..... It ain't lookin' good. We have had 2 natural conceptions during that time, and one is a healthy (and loud) 3 year old. So in spite of everything, we have this incredible luck in a way. It is weird.
Anyone have any views on PGD? We have some embryos frozen (but these are from my ovary with the endo encasing it so perhaps they are already ... not good).
Sorry for the rant guys.
Wishing everyone, including me, a bit of peace and acceptance of things as they are for right now (and new energy coming too, ie babies!).
WW

Juniper, sorry I see it is day 1 for you.:hug:

Not everyone is ready to TTC again straight away and it sounds to me like you're not ready if it's stressing you out so badly. I've had friends who needed to wait 6 or even 12 months before they were ready, so don't feel like you have to start right this moment... I'm sorry to hear you're getting endo symptoms. After only 3 months since your lap, it's possibly not from the endo, but hard to know for sure. I had a return of my AF pain after my d&c and my OB said it was possible the d&c was the cause of that. I don't really understand why it happened, but, for me, it got worse over time, not better (the OB said it should get better after a few months), so I went to my FS for a new lap after 6 months and it was only after that 2nd lap (only minimal endo removed) that my AFs went back to pain-free for a while. I'm now trying to work out how soon I should go for lap #3 because the pain is getting worse again... It wouldn't hurt to ask your Dr about it when you speak to them about the test results (that's pretty much exactly what I did).
1 more please, GL for your cycle! :goodluck:
Hey girls, I've got a + test today! It's faint though and after all I've been through I'm not holding my breath :-/ ... So wish I could get excited.
Woo Hoo Sarah
Hahahaha got to excited and pressed the wrong button, I'm :pray: and :pray: and :pray: that the line gets
darker and everything is ok, Your in my thoughts darlin xxxxxx
Thank you 1more xox
Prayers are all I have at this stage, I've prayed my heart out over the last few yrs. Here's to hoping they are answered

It did work (twice!). :):
That's great Sarah! I'll keep crossing everything for you hun, hopefully this one is it!!
Hello to everyone else :)
I've had a horrid last few days :( First DS got sick about a week and a half ago, then when he got better I got sick for my birthday which was on Friday, and then when I'm feeling like death yesterday and today, DS comes down with gastro early this morning. When will all this end?! We've had to cancel a lovey lunch planned today for Mother's day and birthday brekkie for my OH's eldest daughter, now we have to celebrate not only 4 people's birthdays next Sunday (my birthday, mum's birthday and bro's birthday, and my OH eldest's birthday) but Mothers day as well. Hopefully no one will be sick next Sunday lol.
Miss.B, hope everyone is feeling better very soon. Sorry to hear you were sick for your birthday. I hope your family managed to make it special in spite of that. :hug: My birthday was the day before yours and similarly "exciting" (day 1 of this cycle, so stuck at home with lots of endo pain)...
Awwww, hugs Juniper :hug:. Maybe we'll have a better birthday next year? lol. Happy Birthday hun, I hope the next 12 months bring you all that you wish for xxx
Happy Birthday to you too, sweetie. FX for a happy year ahead. xx

Hmm I'm sitting here trying not to bite my nails! I'm so scared of another teary grieving ending! I'm trying so hard to be positive!
Get a bt tomorrow.
I feel a bit crampy too and it's scaring me silly.
I did do another hpt this morning which was pretty much dame line as yesterdays! Argh so I tested again at lunch and thankfully it was a fair bit darker...
I promised myself I'd just ho with the flow, not get too attached and not obsess... Yeah real good job of that so far Sarah"
Lots of healthy bfps and baby dust girls xxxooo
Hi Ladies, Happy Tuesday to you all!
Sarah, FX for today's bt hun, I am saying my prayers for you and I truly hope you get a bfp today :)
WW - Sending a big virtual hug your way hun, I truly wish you all the best I hope you find the peace you are after. Luckily you have friends like Juniper on here who have similar stories to your own and can offer advice and an understanding of what you are going through.
Miss B & Juniper - a belated Happy Birthday to you both, sorry the day wasn't as you had hoped though :partysmiley::partysmiley:
Everyone else GL to you all, praying we see some more BFP on our forum soon
Baby dust to us all x

Can I please be added to this thread....I have been to see my FS today and he has suggested Human Growth Hormone to try on my next cycle. He also wants to rule out Endometriosis so wants to do a Lapro.....I feel so frustrated that this is just coming up now after 4 ivf attempts and I don't really have any symptoms....anybody else had this? I am booked in for June 9th and then to do another cycle straight away.
Hi and welcome, Cass! I had my first lap after our 4th IVF. The frustrating part for me was that I had "classic" symptoms of endo but my first FS refused to do a lap every time I asked. I had to change to a new FS to get it done. We did our 5th IVF 2 months after the lap (lap in March, EPU in May) and that gave us DD. If you are interested, I have a page of recovery tips for the lap on my blog. You can find a link to the blog in my signature. You want the page called "Laparoscopy Checklist" - there's a link on the right-hand side...
Welcome Cass :)
I do think a lap is a good idea to see what's happening in there.
They found a twisted tube in me and mild endo.
Good luck xo
Hey everyone else xo
I'm not so good today after taking my hpt this morning its lighter :shakehead:
And yesterdays bt was only at 20 hcg :-/ at 13 dpo.
I'm so angry! Why the beep would it be any different to the other 7 times?!
I'm just clocking up numbers :wall:
I can get a bfp but no pregnancy! And definitely no baby :rolleyes:
I just want to be fixed but feel like I'm no closer to that than I was nearly 4yrs ago.
Rant over" sorry xxxx

Phooey poohey bumsticks!
All this ltttc ends the same way even if I do get that golden bfp.
Pgd seems so expensive but maybe it's worth a try.
Comon universe! That's number 8!
I feel silly for even thinking I could get a diff outcome :-/.
