Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - August 2008

[Nixon]

Thanks you all so much for your enthusiastic congratulations. I know that we still have a long ways to go ,DH & I & the wee one, but you have all made the last couple of months bearable.

I am praying for each and everyone of you and that you get your wishes granted soon.

Nixon...yahoooo! That's wonderful...am so happy for you and your DH
it's encouraging to see success happens and I pray you have a wonderful pregnancy.

Bel .. hang in there ...i know it's hard and sometimes we sink and it's hard to pull ourselves back up....your turn will come.... if our frosties thaw OK we'll be in the TWW together.

JBM- not too long to go! It's so awful waiting. good luck.

as for me...well transfer is set down for Friday, as I ovulated yesterday...so no more daily blood tests...now we just hope our one little frostie thaws out ok...and then of course, it will be my turn back in the anxious TWW

[~BecD~]

Good luck for Friday possum
Congratulations on your BFP Nixon!!!
Bel - I will pray with you too that your little frostie defrosts okay. It's always scary waiting to find out how it went.

Im okay, on CD4 today so just waiting til next Monday to check ute-lining and then booking in my transfer. I might have to do this one alone, My Mum came along last time because DH couldnt, and DH is sick at the moment so he probably cant take time off work again so soon after.

Has anybody taken someone other than their partner for their embryo transfer. My Mum enjoyed coming last time, it made her feel more involved in the whole process and I felt reassured by having her there, but it also added to her disappointment when we got a BFN so she has asked not to come again. I really would prefer not to go on my own!

[Possums]

Bec- i hope someone can go with you...maybe your mum will be happy to support you if she knows your DH can't go along. Assuming we have a successful embryo thaw and it's all go for Friday, I'll have DH with me, and like you, wouldn't like to go alone.

Sorry to hear that Marsha, sending hugs

[kateB]

Nixon! Congratulations - I am so happy for you!! That is fantastic new!

Marsha - my thoughts are with you!

AFM - we've started our second cycle on double the drugs - so let's see what happens..!! First scan and blood test on Friday....

Work...hmmm...well despite the fact that I told them about IVF and my recent episode of depression in June they have been doing some rather unfortunate things toward me that have been stressing me out no end - today at a meeting where I was accussed of being a gossip amongst other things and I decided enough was enough, quit and walked out. I still can't believe I did that! But I feel so relieved!!! But a little concerned as to what I am going to do for a job, but I'm sure I will find something.

Is anyone going to the Blue Canoe dinner here in Adelaide tomorrow night? I am and really looking forward to it.

[Abbie]

Hey girls

feel like I've been missing in action for months, congrats to all the girls with BFPs thats fantastic news for Nixon and OscarOscar! yahoo!!

Hey kateB, sounds like you did the right thing hun by just looking out for yourself first... this journey is so stressful you dont need backstabbers around you.. I'm sure something will come your way that makes life cruisy so you can focus on TTC

thinking of all the girls in TWW and about to ET too, keep yourselves distracted with happy positive things to give little one the best place to settle in. These bubs are so loved before they even come into the world, what a great way to start life

Brideof Chucky, theres a few of us out here with stepchildren and working on our own families.. i was lucky both stepdaughters were part of my wedding party, but they dont seem to accept DH having kids with me, especially the 19yo (knows everything at that age of course!). Just gotta hope they get used to it eventually..

AFM, was hoping for FET this month but doc not happy with progress of follies (natural cycle) so cancelled.. gonna try clomid low dose next cycle and hope that kicks them along better, just want to get to another fet and try again! Anyone had better success with follies on Clomid?

Hi all

I have just read about 10 pages since I introduced myself!

Hi to everyone (specially the fellow newbies )

Been a stressful couple of weeks for me but nothing was going to stand in the way of my cycle. So, started injecting Lucrin (synarel doesn't work for me) on Sunday and fell like I'm not really doing anything until Wednesday next week when I have my next blood test. Just sitting waiting around for AF to visit etc. Hopefully life will have settled down a little before that.

[Possums]

Marsha... sorry to hear that....it's tough going I know. sending you all the best.


hi muppity- good luck with your cycle and hope the stress levels dont peak too much

abbie, sorry you cant go ahead this month, must be frustrating for you.


kateb-- good luck with this cycle on the extra drugs, hope it works for you

[Neptune]

Possums - best of luck for your transfer on Friday!

Abbie - I'm sorry about this cycle, but hope you have better luck next time around. It's very frustrating

Marsha - So sorry about the wicked witch

KateB - Go girl, good move - very courageous.

Muppity - I'm with you. Snorting Synarel day and night, just waitinf for AF to appear!

Hey to everyone else

[TaRhLi.]

Nixon: Congrats on your BFP. Hope you have a H & H pregnancy.

So many girls in here at the moment it is hard to keep track of everyone.

AFM: I've been lurking and reading all the posts but have nothing much to report as yet. 13 days left of this pill cycle and 5 days till I start snorting Syneral twice a day, gotta love Down Reg cycles, they take so much longer than natural cycles. So that makes it about 25 days til my scan and then another 4/5 days til the FET. OMG, it is going so slow, it feels like it will never get here.

[Possums]

Kate- I meant to say, brave move re the job! good luck and good on you for looking after yourself

[Nicole S]

Hey Ladies, I thought it is time that I jumped aboard this thread with you all.

I have been reading this thread for a couple of months since my first BFN IVF cycle and you have all inspired me to give it another go.

Over the next couple of weeks I hope to get to know you all allot better and give you support when needed.

I read something the other day and want to share it with you all....

I want to take the time to tell you that you are doing a good job and you are going to be okay. Many times you can lose site of the wonderful person you are when dealing with fertility issues thinking "what's wrong with me?" But I want to remind you that you are a wonderful unique human

(This was from an e-mail I receive monthly from Stacy at Sharkey Shealing Centre. It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling when I read it)

To all those with BFP's Many congratulations, Good luck to everyone else who is jabbing, snorting, EPUing, ETing and where ever you are in your cycle.

I myself am at day 4 of jabbing and am feeling great, with my first bloods tomorrow.

BTW....Sorry for the long post

Hi Guys,

Abbie: Thanks heaps. It's good to know I'm not the only one with these "family" issues!
