Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception August-September 2013

Hi Everyone, I'm going away for 2 weeks in the morning and am extremely busy today so if I cant get on later I just wanted to wish you all luck in
testing and anywhere your up to in your cycle hope everything goes well, Jasmine thinking of you honey and hoping everything is ok.
I will give mickey and Minnie a hug for you all and I will be back in 2 weeks :grouphug:

Thanks Rai :) have a wonderful break!

Atm had my 12 day scan this morning and I'm all set for fet nxt wed

Thanks ladies

Juniper you are so sweet.

Well I've had af cramps all night & tiny bit of spotting but no bleeding as yet. This is strange for me I don't usually get spotting - usually straight into af. I am feeling really bloated too. I guess it's just wait and see now. My poor dh last night said 'what is wrong with us? Why can't we get pregnant? We have had 6 transfers now'. Our appointment at new clinic isn't until October - I am hoping for a cancellation so we can go sooner. I really hope they have some new ideas for us. Month after month of disappointment and all the money spent month after month is taking its toll.

Have a great holiday Rai.

Great news Bunnyfeet. Yay your transfer is finally happening!

If you would like to be added to The List or have your details amended, please just ask (and provide the applicable details).

Beau, maybe you'll go for that b/t tomorrow after all! I had light bleeding before my b/t with DD and at first I thought it was the start of AF, but it wasn't...

Thanks Beau. It's so unfair for you guys. I pray this new clinic will have new ideas for you. But as Juniper just said, you never know maybe you will have that bt afterall :)

Hi Ladies,

Beau, all the best I'm crossing fingers and toes that you get some exciting news over the next days

MissB & Bunnyfeet good luck for you transfers next week, FX you too get some exciting news

Rai, enjoy your holiday probably just the break you need have fun

Jasmine still thinking of you, praying everything is ok

Rest of the ladies GL and FX some good news comes your way too

AFM - 13DPO had some pinkish cm on days 10 & 11 with some cramping but since then just some cramping which comes and goes but not regularly and it's really very mild so who knows what's going on I've given up trying to figure my body out. Only a few more days of waiting but gosh it's hard :(

Beau- Your killing me with all this waiting!! Fx you need a BT in the morning Xx

Juniper- Boo to the witch! Are you doing an IUI cycle this month?

Bunny & MissB- Yay for transfers next week!

Rai- Have a great holiday honey

AFM- Yet again waiting to be seen by another specialist. Still bleeding really heavy.. Hoping I will have some answers either way today. It's hard to believe that I haven't miscarried with all the bleeding but at my last scan our little snowflake still had a heartbeat. Praying it's still there today..

Positively, I hope that pink CM was implantation! FX for you!

Jasmine, this limbo is pure torture! I hope and pray that you get your answers today and that the answers are good news! :hug:

Afm, no IUI this cycle. My heart isn't in it. I'm following my gut and my gut says wait... Actually, my gut says my endo is growing back at a rapid pace and that we need to save up for a new lap... I had moderate cramping start at 8dpo last cycle and continue right through to AF, then AF itself has been more painful than the last 10 months (which had been virtually pain-free thanks to my last lap). It's the first time in a long time that I've had the cramping last more than half a day during AF and it worries me that it has gone from half a day to 2 days (and counting) between one AF and the next. :(

Oh Juniper so sorry to hear that but also great that you know your body so well and know when it's telling you something and you act on it. Good for you :)

Jasmine, wish your bleeding would end so you can just enjoy your pregnancy and have a happy healthy bub in a few months time

GL today Jasmine, sending you all the good luck vibes I can muster :pray::crossfingers::goodluck: xx

BBL for persies ladies, off to work :)

Wow what a long day! The verdict is I'm still in limbo land. Snowflake still has a heart beat but hemorrhage keeps getting worse and worse. On weekly specialist appointments and viability scans. When the bleeding 'gushes' which happens about every 48hrs I have to continue to go back to the hospital for a drip and to check hemoglobin levels.. And then I can go home and take it easy till the next gush. We're in for a long hard road but the specialist said as long as we have a heart beat we have hope :pray:

Beau- OMG woman you are killing me waiting for your results! You best be gettung that BT first thing in the morning Xx

Juniper- What a bugger that you think your endo is coming back! This TTC stuff is crap.. Why can't we just fall pregnant anytime we want and have happy healthy pregnancies.. It's not fair!!!

Jasmine, I'm sorry to hear you're still in limbo, but I like the way your specialist thinks. I'm glad you're able to keep fighting for your little snowflake. xx

Jasmine hoping you can get this bleeding under control. Sure have got a fighter on board :)

Wow Jasmine you have a strong snowflake on board! Keep on hanging on little one!
Sorry to hear your endo is coming back Juniper that sucks, definitely not what you need when ttc :banghead:
Good luck for your bt tomorrow Beau if you go for it FX for you!

I'm back :)

Jasmine, I agree, you do have a little fighter on board! I'm praying hard he/she stays put and keeps on fighting :pray:

Bunny, yay for your FET on Wednesday! I had a BT this morning and I'm off for another one tomorrow, the nurse said things are happening in there lol.

Beau, maybe not all hope is lost? Will you go for a BT or do a HPT? FX hun xxx

Juniper, hope it's not the endo coming back :(

PositivelyTTC, hopefully that's good cramping, FX hun

Rai, have a great time away :)

AFM, off for another BT tomorrow. I don't recall having this many BTs with my last FET??? Mind you, with my last FET I already got a positive on my OPK at home before I called the clinic and I only had the one BT before my transfer.

Hi ladies!

I have a surgery date!
17th of September for a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.

Has anyone used 'picoprep' before this kind of procedure?
I'm told its a drink- what happens if I can't keep it down?
Can't I just take a suppository or something?

Yay for a date for your surgery Emma! GL with it hun. Sorry, don't know much about laps :(

Help ladies! I just did a test and it gave me the happy face (meaning O will happen 24-36 hours then?). So, if I am having a 3 day embie put it, when will that be approximately?

Great news Emma! Can I ask how long between getting your paperwork in and getting a date?? I posted mineTuesday.

Also, do you know what category yours is?

Thanks :)

Eta - Monday or Tuesday I reckon Miss B.

I was in the category for up to 3 month wait.
I think I put my paperwork in about 4 weeks ago?

I'm stressing about the picoprep - I hate drinking anything yukky! :-(

That's quick! I am category 2 ( semi-urgent) which is up to 3 months. They are doing the lap, cystoscopy, dye and repositioning of ovaries.

I think I was category 2 as well.... I know my box said up to 3 months or something to that effect.

I'm ecstatic it was quick as my babysitter (my mum) is away for October and we would have been in a pickle!

Emma- Yay for getting a date for your lap.. Good that the wait wasn't too long xx

N2L- Fx your not on the waiting list too long xx

MissB- That's awesome that you've got a positive OPK and will be transferring your little snowflake in a few days xx

Bunny- So happy that your lining is behaving this cycle xx

Positively- GL with the rest of the TWW xx

Beau- How are you going honey? I hope the witch has stayed away and you have had your BT done this morning xx

AFM- Feeling a bit better about things today. The early pregnancy unit at the Marter Hospital called me yesterday to give me my schedule of appointments. They will be doing my weekly viability scans but said I am welcome to come in at 'any time' if I want a quick scan for some reassurance. The Dr said there are no guarantees but she has seen other woman with the same condition go on to have healthy babies.. It was obviously just a 'rougher' ride getting there. I've decided that I'm going to try and stay positive.. For as long as snowflake has a heartbeat it's not over and I'm not giving up.

Oh Jasmine that brought a tear to my eyes, you're so strong and great for being so positive. Im praying you're snow flake keeps fighting x

Hi everyone else x

Atm: I'm struggling on this HRT treatment for FET very emotional last two days and crying all morning :( did anyone else do HRT for fets and how did you find it? So fed up taking all this medicine crap :banghead::banghead:

sneaking in:

Jasmine I just wanted to let you know I have been stalking and hoping for good news for you. So glad bubs still has a heartbeat and I hope the bleeding gets under control. What a scary time for you...

Emma - GL with your op. The picoprep doesn't taste too bad it's needed to make sure your bowel is empty before surgery. The after effects are not pleasant but for me it was bearable.

Jasmine, I love your positivity and I'm sure your snowflake can feel it too! FX everything starts to improve soon, but even if it's a rough ride, we're all behind you and here for you xxx

n2l, thanks hun. I'm hoping it's Tuesday, suits me much better!

Bunnyfeet, I'm sorry all those meds are making you feel yuck :(. I hated the HRT stuff too, so glad I don't have to take it anymore. You can do it hun! Not long for us to go :)

AFM, second BT done, just waiting on when my transfer will be....

If you would like to be added to The List or have your details amended, please just ask (and provide the applicable details).

Emma, I used a different bowel prep (Fleet) but it didn't taste too bad. Just stay close to a toilet all day... ;) On my blog, there's a page of tips for the lap recovery (Laparoscopy Checklist link on the right-hand side). If you can't find it, let me know and I'll send you the direct link.

Miss.B, I usually assume O is 24 hours after a +opk and you'd want to transfer a day 3 embie at 3dpo, so I'd guess Tuesday.

Jasmine, glad to hear they're looking after you so well. Is that the Mater at South Brisbane? That's where I had DD (and my d&c last year) and they were fabulous.

Thanks Miss B x
Are you doing a natural FET? Would you recommend it over HRT one?

Bunny- I hated my HRT cycle too.. But hang in there sweetie not too long to transfer now xx

Juniper- Yep the Marter in South Brisbane. It was my first time there and they seem great! Xx

Anyone heard from Beau? I wonder if she got her BT this morning? I have been praying like mad for her all day..

Bunny- I hated my HRT cycle too.. But hang in there sweetie not too long to transfer now xx

Juniper- Yep the Marter in South Brisbane. It was my first time there and they seem great! Xx

Anyone heard from Beau? I wonder if she got her BT this morning? I have been praying like mad for her all day..

Jasmine, I haven't heard from Beau, hope all is OK.

Bunnyfeet, I'm only doing a natural cycle as the HRT tablets didn't work on me (thank goodness I must say, I hated them!). My cycles have been spot on 29 days for as long as I can remember, it's only been this year that they have been a bit off, but b/c the HRT tablets didn't work and my body ovulated anyway while I was on them, they decided to let me go on a natural cycle.

Juniper, thanks hun, I'm hoping for a Tuesday as DS is in kinder on Wednesday so I can just put my feet up all day :)

Hello to everyone else out there :)

Emma, good luck with your surgery, glad you got a date.

Miss B - yay for a positive and good luck ready for transfer.

I am the same I got my positive OPK test today but I am cd21 so what happens considering I am due next Saturday as I have a 28 day cycle normally. Will my period come late?? :confused:

Hi ladies just a quick one.
Witch hasn't arrived so I went for bt this morning & omg I'm pregnant! Hcg was 3140!
Ill be back later to read up on everyone's posts.

Sorry double!

Woo hoo!! I knew it! When you said the spotting stopped, I knew it! I had similar with DD! Awesome result, Beau! :leap:

Kel, yes, if you are only just ovulating tomorrow, AF will be late. If your LP is usually 14 days (the textbook length) then AF would be due 2 weeks after you O.

OMG Beau I had a funny feeling about you! ! That's fantastic! !! Congrats hun so delighted for you!

Wow!!! Congrats Beau that is awesome news!!

OMG congrats Beau!!!! So so happy for you hun, and you almost gave up!! Awesome numbers :)
