Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - August 2007 #2

[briggsy's girl]

just want to pop in and offer Ali the biggest of big hugs right now - hun, unfortunately i know exactly how you feel and the heartache is just horrible.

take your time coming to terms with what has happened - you're allowed to grieve, and be angry, and ask all the "why me" questions you can possibly think of - i sure as hell am!

when you're ready, i'm sure you will see the positives that BW has pointed out - that silver lining in a very dark cloud, but i won't tell you that you need to see it straight away - just when you're ready hun. we're here to support you as much as you need it

if you want to chat to someone who is going through the same thing, you can PM me anytime hun

take care

BG

[Venus]

just popping in to wish you best of luck tonite mo5. Dont worry I didnt think the trigger hurt at all.
Take it easy with loading up the trigger - I dont know why they cant put the drugs in screw top lids - how silly that you have to break a glass vile.

Good Evening Guys

Ali - Huge hugs coming your way make sure you look after yourself and your DH, and yes sometimes life really sucks!

MO5 - Good luck with trigger tonight! Its starting to get exciting and the follie numbers are great!

Rols - Congrats on Fertilisation rates and they are absolutely brilliant for standard IVF with dodgy boys (your words not mine )

BG & BW - Hope your both going well and looking after yourself... i cant wait until you both have been round bellies and are complaining about stretch marks

Sparkles congrats on the go ahead for Friday... i start on Monday at the latest so we will be close together and if i remember correctly you are from Brissie as well... i hope there is some babydust in this rain!!

Big HI to anyone i may have missed... thinking of you all and good luck!

HI everyone,

Wow so much has been happening here...sounds like there have been some great results with the EPUs...good luck to everyone who is awaiting a transfer or IUI...I have all my limbs crossed hoping you all get BFP xoxo

I have been hanging over in the TWW thread but no need to be on there anymore so you are stuck with me again.

I had my b/t Friday & we got a BFP...was in shock for a few hours but oh so happy! I had to go back yesterday before work to have preg hormone levels tested again to make sure everything was progressing nicely. Back at work for 2 hours when I went to the loo & discovered I was bleeding. My heart broke...why me?!?! I couldn't stop crying & was really hard to come out & through the office but I managed. Explained what had happened & then went home. Got the call re: b/t in afternoon & levels had dropped by half. I was having an early m/c. Am feeling so sore & washed out so have taken the day off work today to watch DVDs & come to terms with the fact that it wasn't meant to be this time around. Prob seeing doc on Thursday so will see what he says.

Lets see lots of BFP soon xoxo

Ali-Cat, its me. Ive been on this thing waiting to see your post, to see if you're ok. I hope you are. I have learnt a lot about what you're going thru from reading your posts, and other peoples. I must admit, the abreviations are very hard to understand! > I have learnt a lot tho. I hope your pain is gone. Pain in the tummy, I understand the other wont for a long long time. Anyway, I guess I'll hear from you tomorrow, if you're back to work. Just wanted to pop on her and let you know im thinking of you. I hope you're enjoying those DVD's (was that a good idea of mine, or what!).

Love to you & Dan.

Hey V- My shot is already loaded. Dont even have to push the air bubble out the nurse said. My pregnal was like that and i was so worried about smashing the top.
Shannon- It is very exciting but scary all at the same time
Thanks Smithy

[barney]

well mumof5 im sitting here thinking of you all the best with that trigger let me no if it hurts good luk hun

[Shellyd]

Hi All

Rols - great news that transfer is on track. I have a vague recollection it was today??? If so good luck!

Ali - big hugs to you hun. It's something you need to work through your own way so don't feel bad about any of your reactions...we are all here for you for support.

I'm off for transfer today and feeling very positive. I'll pop in this afternoon with an update

Cheers
Shelly

Hey Smithy hows the spray going??? Well the shot stung a bit but i didn't feel the stuff going in at all.DH said "gee its real hard to get it in, the needle is blunt. Bloody blunt my bum . So hopefully I'm on the home straight now. Its kind of sad in away cause theres no more drugs no more waiting,its either a bfn or a bfp now.
For some reason I've had a very HIGH sex drive over the last week or so which is driving me up the bloody wall,blame the drugs hehe.

[happymel]

Hi peoples!!
Alicat- im so sorry for your loss nothing i can say will make things better for you, but know we are all thinking of you here. Its not fair to be so happy and then to have things taken away so quick
Mumof5- haha, glad that the trigger went well! Good luck for tomorrow, hope things go really well.
Shelly- wow great fertilisation rate, and hey transfer today, which is same day as me!! We will be in the 2ww together!
Ellie- woohooo!! Yay yippee, BFP yest. Oooo sounds promising, i will go over and read the 2ww thread shortly.
Rols- that's great that DW is still ok to go ahead with t/f this week. Are you guys excited?? or more nervous?? How are the embies going today?
Hi to BG, and BW, Smithy, Sparkes, Shannon, and Holly and anyone else i have forgotten- Sorry
Well have been for my transfer. I called FS and begged to have 2 transferred, and voila!! 2 embies inside!! Yest the scientist said there were 2-3 good embies. Today there were four. Hmmm, dont know how they gained one!! This morning i was grinning big time when FS was telling me bout embies. One was an extended blast (the BEST), yay. And wow was i happy (and dh too!!!), as last time we had the extended blast was a pregnancy, although i lost it. But still its a great, the best embie!! And then i had another great embie in too, not entended yet but only couple hours behind!! And they looked great on the screen, heaps better than the blast from the FET. Im so nervous, DH keeps telling me to put my feet up, I want to know if im preg now!! So impatient. Im just hoping that things might work out this time.
Enough about me, hope everyone is well, and all things are going ok today.
Mel
