Hi all
Im back from the best holiday in my life!!!!!
Congratulations to everyone with good news...how exciting
Well i just loved UK< france and Italy and i didnt want to come home to reality, i really forgot what it felt like to be carefree and be happy and not focus on one thing so much...it was wonderful
I obviiously still want a baby more than anything but at the moment i am pretty carefree, although as hubby didnt come on holiday he is stil stressed. He just had third SE test but the results are not in yet and we have our appointment on the 20th August to determine whether to start ivf or not....so will keep you all posted. I have made a decision though and iwe are going to try ivf once, if it doesnt work weare moving overseas for a year to chill out!!! Hubby agrees too yay
Anyway enough on me
Rols- hows it all going? when is the transfer? has it been easy?
Love to you all and lots of baby dust xo
Haven't been on much, as there had been lots happening to keep me busy at home - Nothing important, but sometimes its hard to get on here with enough time to write
Ellie - Congratulations on the thaw and transfer... YOu must be just so happy!!!
It must have been such a relief to know the first step was great when they both thawed.. the nurse's comments in regards to them looking so strong is something to hold on to and keep positive for this cycle
Sparkles - Wow, you sound so relaxed.. good for you! So glad you had a great time... good luck with the Sa test results!
BG - Posted in your journal this morning at 1am as soon as I got home .. I am just so happy for you, and there really couldn't be anyone more deserved of this pregnancy... well done hun xxx
BW - So lovely to meet you last night and have a good chat... its fantastic putting faces to names and having conversations with people who get what you're going through!!! I had a fantastic night last night!
A big big hello to everyone else... I haven't posted for a few days, so sorry for my lack of personals!
Welcome to all of the new ladies
I know Kerrie asked me to point her in the right direction in regards to posts I've written about natural therapies.... Its almost every post!!!
I haven't had a lot of time, but will have a dig around today and see what I can find!
Otherwise, PM me and I'm more than happy to help with any questions, etc!!!
Hope everyone is great - Will pop back in later today and really catch up!
hi to eveyone,well im back again after a long wait for af after we lost our bub due to an ectopic pg.we found out we were pg the day before starting synerel last time and it was to be our first round of ivf but then we didnt need it,so since loosing our bub we are back again to try the ivf at SIVF NEWCASTLE we are very excited i will be starting the pill on the 18 augustso i was wondering if i mite be able to join your thread thank you ladies take care and i wish you all the very best xxoo
Rols it is great to hear that you & DW are doing okay with the IVF journey so far...fingers crossed that your DW gets a BFP first go!
BG - I have a good feeling about this week for you so bring on Thursday so we can be sure!
BW - I totally agree re:newborns everywhere. It doesn't matter where I go but I am astounded at the number of pregnant women & newborns...everywhere I look I see another. Not to mention that I have just found out that my friend is 13 wks pregnant with her second. I am very happy for her but a tad bit jealous that I could not give her some good news of my own yet.
Ellie - that is great news about your blasties...see you over in the TWW thread
Sparkles - welcome back! Happy to hear you had a wonderful time o/seas...just what you needed by the sounds of it.
have started pretty badly today - looks like we will probably lose the pregnancy - will call the clinic in the morning to find out what they need me to do re BT's and things
Hi BG, just thought to let you know that don't lose hope until B/T confirm otherwise. I remember that in my cycle nurse told me still to keep up the medication etc. although I was bleeding at the time, she said the reason being some people can bleed because normally it would be the AF time, but the pregnancy can still continue...
BG, I come on here tonight and read the best news I could ever hope to read for you and then I get to your most recent post.... I'm so sorry. I have pretzeling big time that it will still be ok. Lots of sticky vibes coming your way.
Smithy, welcome. I am sorry for your loss. Here's hoping that this IVF cycle will bring you your bub. Looks like we will be doing our cycles together.
Just quickly, as I really should get to bed.... saw FS on Thursday to discuss our disaster of a cycle. As expected, he has no idea why the eggs didn't fertilise, and no idea why we only got 3 eggs. He is happy for me to start another cycle straight away. When I mentioned having twenty something follicles in the ultrasound and then getting only 3 eggs, he said something about there being a pattern of this lately. Not that it helps me much, but it seems like I'm not the only one. He still seems positive that it will happen, and I feel really comfortable with him so I am sticking with him for the time being. I think I was just angry with him for a day last week and it had me wanting to go to someone else for a minute!
Anyway, was expecting AF later this week, but surprisingly she turned up yesterday so I started the pill tonight. Here we go again.......already.
Hope everyong is well. Will be back tomorrow night to catch up properly.
BG, very sorry to read about your news. Is the clinic going ahead with BT?
Hi Smithy and GL. If you fell pg prior to your first IVF cycle, are they not going to give you the chance to see if it could happen again?
Megan, glad you're getting straight back into it.
Sparkles, it's great you had such a good time on your holiday. Bit of a shame DH couldn't go I guess, but hopefully his stress levels reduce. Where do you think you'd live if you moved o/seas? Anyway, to answer your questions, we haven't really given a lot of thought to the transfer date as we don't want to be too presumptuous regarding successful EPU and fertilisation. That said, provided DW's levels continue to remain good, EPU will probably be towards the end of this week. I'm having a bit of trouble getting my head around my sperm actually being able to fertilise the egg/s as that just seems so huge, but then I remind myself that it's biology and that's what they do.
As far as whether it's been easy, obviously I can only speak for us as everyone has different experiences, but so far it hasn't been a problem at all. We're 75% or so of the way there with the needles and they have been fine, and DW has had two BTs both of which have been very quick and straightforward. Her body is responding as it should thus far, so we're hoping there wont be any hiccups along the way. From the perspective of daily life nothing has changed for us at all, and neither of us are any different from usual. But for you, if you guys do end up doing IVF my advice is to take it all one step at a time and don't be scared of it. If you can keep the mental side of things in check, the rest will follow.

: spelling
Rols - i went to GP this morning, and spoke to the clinic as well - have had BT's coming out my ears. clinic are testing hormone levels as there is a very slim chance it may have held, but it's more a formality as they don't think it has held on. GP is checking blood grouping to see if i have rhesus negative factor (or something like that) - if i do, i have to have an injection on Wednesday - not sure of the technicalities but it's something to do with trying to prevent antibodies developing or something - it wouldn't be an issue if i knew what my blood group was - but i have no idea (how can i hit the age of 27, having had several types of surgery - and still have no idea what my blood group is??)
.. I am just so happy for you, and there really couldn't be anyone more deserved of this pregnancy... well done hun xxx
so i was wondering if i mite be able to join your thread thank you ladies take care and i wish you all the very best xxoo
for you...
I have pretzeling big time that it will still be ok. Lots of sticky vibes coming your way.
