Hey Smithy, I haven't done one shot at ALL.Couldn't bring myself to do it,even had to get the neighbour to do three of them for me cause i got stuck. Sometimes i did the spray in the same nose hole but mostly i kept changing. I'm so excited about tomorrow but at the same time I'm freaking out. I just can't wait for it to all be over so i can chill out.
oh chicky ill be thinking of you tomorrow all will be fineim thinking ill be just the same and dh can do my injecting as i wont be able to do the bloody things meself and as he does 24hr shifts at work ill get mum to do the others for me well for now take care and stay positive
Mumof5- wow are you getting excited for tomorrow?? Its getting closer. I cant believe you have managed to get through the whole cycle without having to do any injections!! Hee, and your neighbour doing some, thats so sweet Just think after tomorrow, and then a few days after that, its just waiting and then more waiting!!!
Best of luck for tomorrow, hope you get some great eggs!!

Had my first session with Antonia Ruhl today. DH and I are still floating. It was truly an amazing and uplifting experience. She was very patient and listened to our whole story. She seems very knowledgeable and extremely caring. We both got a dose of the Pulse Therapy. Now I know what all the buzz is about (Pardon the pun). I think she blew DH's mind. He is very logical and scientific and was desperately trying to find an explanation to how she was able to electrify our bodies. Wea re both on the Amazon Tonics and got some other herbs as well. Booked in for another session next week. I definitely felt some movement inside my body when she was doing the Pulse therapy. Hard to explain. She seems confident she can help us. We are both feeling really confident at the moment as well. Hopefully it will last.
Ali, Sorry for your loss.
Wishing everyone all the success in the world on your journey TTC.
Mel - TWW here we come...... I did not like the transfer one bit, felt very exposed, but just kept thinking that it's nothing compared to giving birth so I better get used to it.
However we now have one happy embie on board and 6 snowbubs waiting! yippee. BT on 10th..I am going to go crazy before then! I am going on holidays for a week Friday so that will help pass the time. I am open to suggestions if anyone knows how I can avoid spending millions on pregnancy tests in the next two weeks (even though i know there is no point testing)
Em - good luck tomorrow with EPU...hope Irvine is your nurse cause he was funny...though that could have been the drugs
Our progress at Day 3 post fertilisation: all 8 normally fertilised embies have continued to grow:
3 at 10+ cells (they stop counting at 10)
1 at 8 cell
1 at 7 cell
1 at 6 cell with some fragmentation but still OK
2 at 4 cell with some fragmentation but still OK
good luck Rols....im so glad it has gone smoothly for you guys so far xo
Shannon- thats great we will be going through it at the same time...mind if i ask lots of questions?? lol
Well i had the routine ultra sound today and oh they found one of my ovaries is polycystic...they said it doesnt affect the ivf but i have to be on a lower dosage of drugs, i am really angry as my other gyno did heaps of ultra sounds and lap and said all fine, my doctor now has sent me for blood tests and the glucose 2 hour test just to make sure as i have no other symptoms and i am ovulating perfectly.... so anyway more time off work , i am doing it tomorrow morning. Other than that nurse app is still scheduled for next thurs, i filled in registration forms etc today now i just have to wait for period which should be here in the next three days ( yes im moody lol) ( maybe its all the running around i am doing) and so on ....
Hi everyone
Mumof5- hope things are going well, actually i dont think it wa till 11 is that right?? Still have a little bit of waiting, but will be over soon. Hope it all goes really well.
Rols- your embies are doing great, looking forward to another update. Are you guys just having one embie put back in? How is DW feeling?
Kerri- glad things went well with Antonia, sounds very uplifting. I have heard some very positive things about her, good luck
Smithy, not long til you start the Synarel! Im sure time will fly.
Sparkles, hope your doing ok, that is really strange that they didnt find the polycystic ovary before. But is good that you can still go ahead with the ivf cycle and that the gluc test was great, and your ovulating perfectly!! Yay.
Well, i dont feel much different yet. Heehee, i dont think that i am supposed to yet but we were both lying in bed last night and DH was kissing my tummy and i fell asleep with my hand on my belly. Still hoping!! I hope the news at the end is good...
Hope everyone had good day
Mel
Wow, I haven't had a chance to get on for a couple of days and you guys are onto #3!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets see how I go catching up!
Ellie -yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I knew this one would be the one for you - if the line is coming up as soon as it hits the stick this is it for sure!!!!!
I had pregnyl injections after transfer and did hpt's every day afterwards... I got very very faint positives that got lighter each day, and by 3 days after were gone.... Yours have been increasing - Its definately not the pregnyl!!!!!
So happy for you can't wait to hear your bt results and we'll see how many little ones you have in there
Shelly - Congratulations on transfer & your 6 babies on ice - What a fantastic result!!!!!
Rols - Good news for you guys too - My very best wishes for transfer tomorrow... Spoil your lovely DW now xxxxx
M05 - Hope everything is going great with you!
Kerri - I just knew you would feel amazing after you saw Antonia... I told you You will keep that positive feeling, we both have, and the last time we saw her was June - we're seeing her in a few weeks when we fly back to Melbourne.
Would love to chat more about what she has you guys on, etc - If you want a chat anytime PM me!!!
Happy Mel - How are you going re the patience, sweetie???!!!
Hang in there - and keep busy occupying yourself!! Best of luck to you!!!!!!!!!!
Sparkles - Not long now before you get into it - Best of luck to you xxx
Smithy - How are things going with you - You sound like you're loving the synarel as much as the rest of us!
Hi to everyone I haven't mentioned!!!
Me - Well, had to see my gp for Bt results today in regards to some lumps I had on my legs... (couldn't remember if I posted about them here or in my journal??!!!)
Anyway - I have erythema nodosum.... basically a reaction to elevated oestrogen levels in my blood system.
He said the 4 stim cycles of IVF prob triggered everything off - When I said to him our last cycle was November last year - Almost 12 months ago - he said that it can come and go for up to 6 yrs afterwards!!!
They're pretty horrible - just like a bruise but red and swollen - kind of like if you get bitten by something.
He said all of the herbs I'm on may have triggered it in my system again, but nothing to worry about - He said that at least I can be sure Antonias herbs are doing what they're supposed to be!
He did 4 diff tests on my red blood cells just to make sure there wasn't anything else wrong - and asked me what miracle blood tonic I was on after the results came back!!!
He said my results show that I'm incredibly healthy - he said he'd like to consider himself a healthy person, but his red cell count is nowhere near as good as mine, and that mine is freakishly good!!!!
He wanted to know what my miracle tonic is that Antonia has me on, and said he should book a flight to Melbourne to see her!!!!!!!!!!!
I also drink Xango juice daily (a little like Goji juice) - and he said this would be adding to the fantastic results.
Apparently my body couldn't be in any better condition to fall pregnant, so here's hoping it recognises it and does something soon
Currently CD 22 atm - absolutely no symptoms at all except sore BBs, which I seem to have gotten every cycle since taking the herbs, so this means nothing!!!!!
Another week and I'll know either way, so we wait!
Hope everyone is great - I'll stop my mini novel now!!!
Hi everyone.... Well we got 17 eggs today. I was last to go in so i got to see everyone coming out which only made me more worried, i was so freaking out. I was awake for the hole thing and i could feel affair bit of pain. Still pretty sore at the moment but i feel ok. DH just wacked the two lots of cream up there for me. Mums cooking dinner yipee.
Wow - there is so much happening in here at the moment, which is just fantastic. Lots of successful pickups and transfers which all sound so promising. My thoughts are with you all and I really hope that we see lots of BFPs...
Ellie - congrats on your BFP. That is just amazing news - maybe you are having twins if your results are so strong already! Wouldn't that be just great.
Rols - what a great result for you and your DW, and without ICSI as well. Good luck for transfer tomorrow.
Mof5 - congrats on a great EPU - what a great number... you could end up with a footy team at this rate! Rest up while you can!
Holly - so good that you have had such a dramatic improvement in your general health. It should be so much easier to fall pg naturally when everything else seems to be coming together for you with the herbs etc.
Shelly - congrats on your successful transfer and some snowbubs waiting for you as well... you are very lucky!
Mel - all is sounding good for you too hun... not too long now to testing... I am thinking lots of positive thoughts for you.
Sparkles & Smithy - good luck with your cycles - the days will fly by and before you know it you will be posting news about scan results, follie numbers etc. How exciting!
Kerri - good luck with the herbs. I hope you get some success. I too am curious about your experiences with Antonia.
Ali - so sorry for your loss hun. But as always BW's words are pure gold... at least you know you can get pg (my little one didn't even implant) so that is another step forward in the journey. Take care of yourself... you deserve lots of TLC!
I find myself wondering whether I should have gone to see Anotonia about 2 yrs ago while we were living in Melbourne - not that I knew who she was at that point. It is BB who educated me! Now we are about to move in about 3 wks time and I leave it until NOW to think about it. But of course with the move we are in a situation where we can't really afford to be paying $600 a month for the 2 of us to be on herbs... so we will wait and hopefully Canberra will bring us good things. In the meantime I have been a cranky stressed out hormonal cow! I have had such weird feelings around my ovaries and this morning I felt all congested in the pelvic area almost like AF is on her way, which is just crazy since this is only CD9! Hopefully it means my body is getting ready to ovulate, although I have never felt like this before. So lots of BD'ing coming up over the next few days for us!
To everyone else I missed, sorry for the lack of personals... I am reading every few days when I get the chance. Life is just so busy at the moment with changing jobs, moving etc etc. plus I have a uni assignment due Sunday which is not even half way finished!
Take care all,
Cherylxxx
PS Next FS appointment on 28 Aug for referral to Canberra FS. Sorry for the novel!
