I am relatively new to this site. Someone pointed me to this thread although I have only just started (4 months) ttc. I thought something was wrong because with my other children it was very quick. Got checked and my FSH is 32. Just found out this week. Doc says it's very high (menopausal or ovarian failure more likely) and pregnancy unlikely. I have started TCM with herbs and acupunture. Lady there says not to try for 3months while she sorts my body out. Anyone else had this experience?
Nix: Big to you hun. I'm so sorry to hear you got a negative result this cycle. Vodka is good for helping what ails ya GL with which ever way you decide to go next cycle. that your FET cycle is successful for you.
Tantee ~ Sorry you're so confused as to what to do. Your FS should be able to tell you what would be best shouldnt they. GL with it all. Hugs and
Mummawannabe ~ I hope it does work for you 1st try. Someone has to be lucky and I hope its you! xo. And others also. FX
Onja ~ Such a fantastic attitude and very inspiring and encouraging words - thank you.
You go girl! And all the best for the road ahead. Sorry it was a negative this time round xo
Lise ~ GL today hun. Thanks for all your support and wishes xo.
Melttc ~ Glad you are getting started! All the best of luck with the journey. Hope it works out 1st time for you.
Wishes ~ thanks for asking, yes my FS appointment was today.
Your results are excellent. I didnt get any to freeze so I believe you are blessed and I truly hope they all do well for you. Hope you come back to visit and chat but have a nice break. xo
Nix ~ so sorry hun Chin up. The way I looked at it was - i would have been guilty if it worked 1st time because others have gone through so much more than me. But also it really seems to be just the luck of the draw sometimes. We will get there, we just have to hang in there! All the best, hope you're feeling a bit better today xo
Kate ~ hi and welcome. GL with the road ahead and I truly hope you can get pregnant again. FX!
AFM ~ Had FS appointment yestie after failed 1st IVF try in August. Got some good news - he said it is looking as though we wont have to worry about the safety net being dropped and in actual fact he said we may be less out of pocket next year.
He is going to up my dosage of Synarel next time and probably the other hormones because he was disappointed with the amount of eggs we got but that will be the only difference probably. Hopefully it was just that we were unlucky this 1st round. We had a Grade A - expanded blastie transferred but that didnt stick. But I guess that doesnt mean the next one wont! I will be waiting until December and hopefully by then we will be out of debt and will be able to afford it.
Apologies in advance for no personals - feeling a bit sad today.
DH and I had the day off to relax in preparation for our ET at 4pm today. Did some DFO shopping and on the way home received a call from our FS. I knew straight away it wasn't going to be good, and he said that he had bad news. Of the 5 eggs they collected on Wednesday 2 had fertilised, but then something went wrong and we were unable to go ahead with our ET. He said that wasn't normal, but we'd talk next week about where to go from here.
I was surprised with how upset I was, I mean, i've had two years worth of TTC so i'm quite used to AF showing her ugly head, but this was a totally different emotion. DH and I are at home, had a bit of a cry and now consoling myself with ice cream and chocolate, with the wine chilling in the fridge. I'm going to allow myself today to feel sad and sorry for myself (I can't stop thinking about all the things I did/should have done that might have made a difference) and get up tomorrow ready to start again.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well and has a good weekend.
Nix, I'm sorry to hear your result was a BFN. I went straight into a natural FET after my first IVF and actually O'd a day earlier than my normal range (CD15 instead of CD16-18). But after my other 2 IVF cycles (higher dose of Puregon than the first cycle) I O'd around a week late. Also, when I was doing the FET my FS offered to put me on clomid to help make the cycle a bit more predictable, but I declined (clomid was a nightmare for me).
Kate, I don't have experience with the FSH issue (don't actually know what mine is - must talk to my FS about that), but I'm currently halfway through a 4 month wait for my next IVF at my acupuncturist's recommendation, so I understand that part. GL and I hope the TCM/acu helps!
Afm, I've been lurking and reading all of your posts ladies. I'm sending you all the baby dust and sticky vibes I have. I haven't been posting because a) I haven't had a lot to add to the discussions and b) there's nothing going on for me. We're still waiting to start IVF#4, probably at the end of October at this stage... In the meantime I'm wishing you all the best of luck.

: forgot something...
Nix - I am so sorry to hear about your result. I hope you are feeling a bit better today and glad to hear DH has been looking after you.
Lise - GL with your ET tody.
Wishes - it's disappointing that you lost so many embies but 8 is still a great result. 2 of my frosties are day 6 as well and one of them ended up being a hatching blastie so it shows they can be just as strong. I have no idea what grading my embies are, not sure if I want to... as you say it seems to add a bit more pressure. All the best for your break. I hope you enjoy you R&R and come back rearing to go!
I haven't posted in this thread before although I see some familiar names from the TWW .
I was just exploring and discovered that this thread existed. As I'm gearing up for a stim cycle (on pill and due to start Lucrin injections on Sept 25) it looks as though this is right place to chat
Lise - I am sorry to hear your news... and big hugs to you
Loops - Just curious... did your FS elaborate on the safety net thing? We are looking at doing two back to back stims before the end of the year because of the safety net thing... Has there been talk of a change? I so hope so
I know that I missed allot of people (sorry) and will read up over the weekend to catch up..
to everyone and I hope that there will be many BFP's coming our way!
I haven't written in this forum before, but do read often with interest. I have PCOS and been TTC for about 18 months, and have been on some sort of medication for past 7 months (tried Clomid first).
I am currently undergoing OI using puregon injections. First cycle was cancelled - too many follicles.
Second cycle seems to have failed - started injections, had US and everything looked good, one follicle developed, did as nurse said, then went back for US about 1 week later and it appeared that O had occurred as follicle was collapsing. Blood test 1 week after estimated O to check progesterone levels and confirm O, 8 days later (on the day we estimated that my period would have been due) i got a call from the nurse to say my progesterone levels were very low and it looks like i hadn't ovulated at all....so basically went through the TWW and was starting to get excited as i hadn't got my period, only to be brought quickly back to earth because it's probably because i hadn't even ovulated. So i was just wondering, how long has it taken other ladies to get blood test results back?
thanks for all your well wishes over the last few days. I'm certainly feeling a lot better this morning (I think i've eaten the sadness out of my system!) and looking forward to chatting with FS this week to see where we can go from here. I'm very keen to get straight back into it so hopefully he agrees...
Coral - GL with your next stim cycle. Here's hoping it goes well.
Wishes - your hatching blastie is the one. I'm still getting my head around the process, but from what you were saying about hatching blasties, it does sound promising.
Seph - hope your transfer goes well next week. I'll be thinking of you.
Tantee - GL with your FET next week. It's such an awful time waiting to hear you've got the go ahead isn't it?
Ally G - i'm only new to all of this, and so far have only had to wait for one set of blood test results which I received that afternoon. Hopefully your clinic can explain the processes in a bit more detail for you so you know what to expect.
Hello to everyone else, hope you're enjoying your weekend :-)
Hello I had a few days away from TTC and it felt nice - everyone kept asking me if I was going to have a few drinks when I got the news but at the time felt I didn't need it. My work place had an after work drinks thing on Fri and I have been ignoring them for a few months but thought WTH... I planned on having 'a drink' ahhhem Well had a bit of a hangover on Sat...
One thing... I got a call from Dr Burmeister's room's (my FS) and they said she would like to make an app to start my next cycle... when she got back from holidays or something on Oct 12th. I couldn't talk much as was about to go into a meeting but I said "So I have to wait till she gets back to start again??" Assistant got off phone pretty quick I am thinking of changing FS
Wishes ~ I was the same, said I was having a break from BB and then I think the next day I was back in. Everyone is just so nice and supporting its too hard to stay away.
Thanks for your wishes - - it would be a great Xmas present wouldnt it. Also DH and my 30th brirthdays are early next year (Jan/Feb).
I hope the time flies for you ET and FX.
Seph ~ all the best for this week, your ET. Really hope you get a sticky one transferred. FX
Tantee ~ thanks, I really hope we can get some improvement next round, I think my FS is great and I trust he will.
When will you have your FET?
AllyG - hi and . My BT results have always come the same day or next day - my nurses etc are all really good, so Im not sure if others are generally the same. All the best with everything. FX for you.
Lise ~ GL with your FS appointment. Hope you can get back in there ASAP!
Onja ~ Hope you find a good FS. I reccommend Dr Mac Talbot - Monash IVF. GL
AFM ~ I think AF will arrive at some stage today. I know my body too well.
Hi to anyone Ive missed - all the best for a wonderful week!
