lol Dellydoo that is such a MEN comment lolol ... wow what a day though hope you are both feeling alot better soon though and that you can take some time to rest ... glad that you have told your team that you need to go asap if anything arises and good luck that you stay fit and healthy !!!
Thanks, BG and Melsta, i thought as much about the EPU as the method of checking egg quality.... just wishing someone clever had thought of a less invasive technique!
Thanks for your support Melsta - i'm actually home at the moment, which is nice..... i'm officially 'looking for part time work', but in reality, i'm busy painting our study! I love painting, as you get instant results, and i have a whole house that needs painting, so i'm in my element :) and it feels good to be doing something constructive!! Best wishes
Hi Ladies
Delly....I missed yo ur posting but sounds as yhough your DH had to have a sperm retireival....is that right???? My DH had to aswell..he had 2!!!! They are such sookie la las when they are sick arent they???
I remember him having his and me having my ET....he had an ice pack on his little boys and I had a hot water bottle on my little girls..very funny!!!
Well went from my scan again.....not getting better and definetly not "o"ing....looks like they are cancelling again. Will find out for sure this after noon. They said even if my follies grow to where they want them to be..it will be too late for FET anyway. Very upset but I think these things happen for a reason.....I just have to believe that.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. :p
:
Hahahahaha Slyder.............well he probably has earned some TLC but I think that one is a little too deserving!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Carly - Oh honey these things do happen for a reason. I am so sorry that they are cancelling but they are only going to go through with FET at the right time for you - you don't want to waste those embies. DP actually had a testicular biopsy which is where they actually slice off a bit of the testicle itself. They had to shave it down and put him under. He is a trooper and is still speaking to me even though I gave them a little pat while we were in the car when aiming for his thigh - talk about making a grown man cry!
Slyder - I agree this may be a perfectly reasonable request - my response may not have been so reasonable though!
Ooh - And this is a plug for my FS - she phoned me while I was in recovery and said that there was a problem with the sperm - she then pulled favours and got the top surgeon to do the op on DP that day so that my eggs wouldn't be wasted - there was a mad dash between 2 hospitals and the IVF lab and we got a result. She also let DP use HER parking spot at the hospital so we could leave the car overnight without any charge as he couldn't drive. It might be the hormones - but I love that woman.
DD - What a great FS are you with City IVF???
Slyder - Lol I am sure my DH would agree after ICSI
TL - I am with Monash honey - they are wonderful
Thats great for you we are with City their team was fantasic.
I was think would should arrange a Brissie TCC Christmas Catch UP?
theresep - there is definitely nothing more therapeutic than painting .. i love it for keeping occupied and cleansing the soul ... i painted on of my friends bedrooms years back while she just kept supplying the wine cause i need some soul searching lol !!! Hope that you can enjoy the day painting and feel lifted from the fresh outlook of the rooms hun xo
Carla - oh hun .... sorry for the bad news but I am the biggest believer in that everything happens for a reason and at the time it sucks big time cause we never know what it is, but then when we realise it all makes sense ... right now that is prob limited consolation but they are keeping them for the perfect time ... sending you :hug: right now and hope that you can take some time out for yourself hun ......
DD - OMG that is just top level service there hun .... thank goodness for ppl like that in this industry when you need them the most hey !!! :lol: about the pat, the poor guy ....
Slyder - classic answer although I am sure most DH would think the same way !
TL - how is your day going there hun ??? Wow a catch up for you Brissie girls sounds grand ... tis the season to be festive and merry !!!
Well apparently our FS is having a baby! Very amusingly ironic :D
Anyway DW rang our clinic today to follow up on this offer of a natural FET cycle in Jan/Feb. I'm a bit peeved because it turns out their idea of natural is just chopping out the oestrogen tablets, whilst leaving the pill (albeit for two weeks instead of four) and leaving the bloody pessaries. The pessaries are the whole reason we wanted to go natural - ie. the real natural not the mickey mouse natural.
Hi to everyone.
Ooh - TL that sounds marvellous - we can meet somewhere fabulous. What side of town are you on??
Melsta - I know what you mean - I am so lucky - my DP calls it the Dellyverse instead of the Universe.
Slyder - so sorry to hear it is not going to plan for you - I guess that is the reason we are all in here! I have to go for FET Jan/Feb and have to confess to having no idea what to expect but figured it would not be as simple as transfer and cross fingers. I am sure your FS is making decisions on what will have the most successful outcome for you and DW - Hang in there!
DD - your DH sounds like an absolute sweetheart and doesnt it make this journey all the more easy - well to a point ...
Slyder - awww sorry to hear the news there for you and your DW ... i hear you on the ironic side of it but when we started at SIVF, the receptionist was pg so everytime we went in there she was the first person you saw ... would be hard for most ppl I am sure ... Fingers crossed that it all works out for you though ... as hard as it is wondering about why things are happening a certain way there must be method in their madness ....
Sylder - sorry to here they are changing things
Melsta and Dellydoo - I live on the north and work in the city how about you?
TL - Im in Sydney hun I was just in the festive mood and thinking xmas catch ups might be the plan !! You Brisbane girls are on the ball though ... and it is starting to feel very festive too - that time of year !!!
Wow what a blonde moment
Anyother brisse gals interested??
Oh Melsta - we woudl have you in Brissy anytime - I live in West End and work in the Valley (lucky me)
I was just stalking and reading.. count me in the catch up Linda :)
Ok so that makes 3 any dates in mind or to exclude?
Hi everyone, you are a chatty bunch.
Delly doo, I have had a good laugh, mind you me and other peoples pain don't go well together, sometimes I have to hurt myself so I don't laugh. Never a good thing when someone is really hurt!!! Wishful thinking from DP but well worth the try. Kiss it better. Ha Ha, funny man. Congrats on your numbers and I am thinking very nice that your man can relate to the pain.
Carla, I hope they get this sorted out for you soon. Fingers crossed.
BG, nice for DH to have fulltime work, tough on you but I am sure it will be great when he is home. Thanks for the BW update, great she is getting out.
Good luck!!! everyone in the TWW anyone feeling anything??
Hi to everyone else, hope everything is going well.
Hi Everyone
Blackduckies..thanks for your thoughts
Well after saying its all over till next time, the clinic just called Me and said they want me back for ANOTHER scan on Wednesday even though my follies arent really big enough for a transfer....THey are still very small and arent going to get to where they want them to be by then. I said this to my nurse and she said that the doctor wouldnt want you to come in if there wasnt something he could do. maybe they are just triple checking what we already know. Im not getting my hopes up at all btu it must say it put a little smile on my face for the first time in a few weeks!!!! i will keep you all posted.
Sorry for no personals this post....just flying out the door to get DH to work......
Love to allxxx
It's no big drama about the so called "natural" cycle, it's just annoying because we thought natural meant natural, as it does with other clinics. They love the drugs at our clinic :)
As for our FS being UTD, it's no problem at all, I could see the funny side. She's a lovely lady and we are genuinely happy for her. That certainly isn't going to be bother me too much given that a colleague of DW's is pregnant (and still smoking and drinking and complaining about it interfering with her life) and another person we know is very young and has an unwanted pregnancy and is contemplating adoption! Irony eh...
Hey Girls & Boy
TL, DD & Shannon - a catch up sounds fun. I'd be able to meet you guys on a weekend between now & xmas or after 21st on a weekday (as that's when our office shuts for 2 weeks!). It would be really great to put faces to names (though I am very shy around new people).
Slyder, sorry things aren't working how you hoped. Geez, people who whinge about having kids & being pregnant hey? If only they knew.......
Well, will catch up with you all later. Take care & have a lovely night.
Hi everyone,
DD - I love your cheeky sense of humour. I've enjoyed reading your posts.
Slyder - sorry to hear you and DW are getting mucked about a bit with the "natural" cycle. Doesn't it give you the irrits the way some people take for granted their ability to procreate??? It really bugs me at times.
Carla - it ain't over till it's over. I know it's hard to stay positive, but you have to try. Your FS wouldn't keep sending you for scans if he didn't think it was worthwhile. Sounds like you and I are in the same boat.
Sorry if I've forgotten anyone - hope everyone is doing well.
I've had a hellish day. Had another BT and ultrasound this morning and got the call from my FS this afternoon that I only have two good-sized follicles. He offered to do the EPU this Wednesday, but if there's only going to be a max of two eggs, and even that is not certain, and it's even bigger odds that both would fertilise, it seemed pointless to go ahead, so we cancelled. I'm absolutely shattered and have spent most of the afternoon crying, and had to leave work early.
So, it's over for me till January. I was really hoping for a BFP for Xmas, and we didn't even get to EPU. I feel like the past 6 weeks has been a complete waste of time.
Oh well, back to square one :wall:
Vicki
vickie - i'm so sorry you've had to cancel hun! sending you the biggest hugs you can imagine. i so wish i could do something more to make it easier for you
Thanks BG - you don't know how much I needed that *hug* the tears have started again.
How's Emmett snuggling in?? I can't wait to hear you've had a BFP!
Vicki
had a bit of aching in the early hours of this morning (poor DH woke up and rubbed my tummy cos i was whinging about it!) - and one really nasty cramp today - but i'm not reading anything into it. i have hope in my heart - and that's what i'm hanging on to - i soooo don't want to over analyse every little twinge or pain.... my poor DH couldn't cope with the neurotic phone calls if i became obsessive...
well, i'm PLANNING on not being obsessive about it anyway...
BG the wait must be excrutiating - I'm sure all those things are nothing to worry about ;)
It must be so exciting....
Vicki
Pookiegirlba....Oh hun..It happened to me too. My first stimulated cycle was a diaster and nothing was getting bigger....so they cancelled us..we didnt even make to EPU either. It is so devasting but you have to get back on that horse. It all does seem like a waste of time that you have gone through all of that, the pain the anxiety ...everything but you have to keep thinking to yourself that this time, it has happened for a reason. (im still searching for that reason too) but that is what kept me going. Our second time round....we only ended up with 4 angels and have 3 on ice as we speak...the first one after our transfer didnt stick. Its horrible especially when the stakes are so high and emotionally it just pulls you down. I dont have much hope for Wednesday either but we will get back up again and keep on going. Thats all you can do. We too were also hoping for the greatest Xmas present but I just dont think it is our time just yet...not yet anyway...but IT WILL BE SOON. Let your body recover from all the drugs and let your mind and soul rest also. Alot of TLC and treats to pep you up. These words may not make the situation better but I hope you dont feel so alone as i felt when this happened to us. I have good vibes that once both of our bodies take a little break from being so stressed...we will be ok. Thinking of you and hope I havent upset you...always here to chat with.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Vicki, sorry things didn't pan out this time. They'll get it right next time.
Vickie - oh hun I am so sorry it has been cancelled ..... sending you a big bear hug and a box of tissues for your tears hun .... i can imagine how devastating you feel right now ..... hugs again xoxox
Carla - hun good luck for the scan, they know what they are doing and if they want to keep scanning right up until the last moment you never know what it might bring - :crossfingers:
DD - aww thanks hun i wouldnt mind being a brissy girl but alas my heart lies here in Sydney :D
BG - lolol at being neurotic, I am the same way hun, but overanalysing everything just makes me more strung out .... :lol: Im planning what we are going to do the night of the 12th whether it be +ve or -ve, I want an action plan in place for dinner and celebrations lol
TL, Shannon, Blackduckies - and anyone else I missed good morning to you all !!! Hope everyone is just dandy this morning .... ;)
Calra - Sorry to hear would you like to join us on the Brisse catch up?
Peta - Great lets aim for a weekend
Vicki - So Sorry :hug:
Brissie/SC/GC catch up
Heres my idea what about Sunday the 16th in the city some where?
Tigger....when is the catch up? I have alot of family arriving but would love to do something if I can.
Melsta..thanks for that. I know that is what I thought but one of the nurses told me yesterday that it looks like we are going to have to cancel as it will be too late to transfer when I eventually 'o'...then I get a phonecall from the clinic that afternoon saying to come in. so the way i see it is that would they just waiti till I do ovulate then do it or if I dont ovulate welll then thats when we say to cancel???? Im confused I cant see the problem in waiting till I eventually ovulate, afterall isnt that what we are doing anyway????? Sometime the nurses ther really get me abgry with their'whatever' attitude. I am paying them soooooooooooooo much money and they treat me sometimes like Im just a number!!! Anyone else have that problem.????
Carla - oh hun you sound so stressed and at your wits end ... is there any other nurses you can speak to instead of the ones giving you this whatever attitude ?? Maybe there are others who can explain things a little more ... if you have email contact with them why dont you email them and ask them to explain the process and why you have to wait and why it will be cancelled, sometimes having it explained in text helps a bit more and allows them to explain it better (then you dont have to actually speak to them either!) Our nurses are SIVF are really good so I cant fault mine but I can completely understand how frustrating this is for you hun ... you poor thing as if the wait isnt bad enough then you have to had power trip nurses into the mix !!! I think some of them think they are the specialists and not the Dr's themselves lol !!!
Good Morning
I have been MIA a little from this thread lately, i was a little down and didn't want to post in here unless i had the positivity to be supportive of those of you just starting out :) fortunately now i actually have some hormones in my system im feeling heaps better so am back to cheer loudly for everyone!
Might take a bit to catch up but heres a start..
Melsta - Just wanted to wish you luck for the TWW, what date is your BT?
Vicki - So sorry for the canx cycle hun, it really is a huge kick in the butt, hopefully the FS has the answers to make the next cycle very successful!
TL - Hi Hun, how is the feng shui hunting going? Sunday 16th sounds good to me :)
Carla - Good luck dont give up just yet!!
Big hi to everyone i missed! Will do my best to keep more upto date!
Well i am upto day 5 of injections on my 4th IVF/ICSI cycle. Feeling a little tired and tender in the ovaries so hopefully a good sign :) we see the FS on Friday for a scan!
Shan
Shannon thanks
Feng shui is good back to my practioner roots and not a neurotic mess about it all now DH is still grumpy we paid for someone with less knowledge than me to have a look at the place. Oh well I needed reassurance. I am doing a few reports for friends as Chrissy pressies at the moment and I think that has really allowed me to focus.
Waiting on Baseline levels from FS from the BT yesterday where my arm would not stop bleeding and och hurts today. Normally the struggle to get the vien
Hope all is well with everyone
HI Ladies
Shannon...trying to stay positive I wont give up.........
Melsta.....Im not sure whether there is an email address I can write to them abut all this. I ma going in tomorrow for that other scan and bloods so I have a list of things I am going to be asking. They made me wait 40 minutes yesterday WHEN NO ONE was even in there.....they were fluffing around and here I am waiting to go to my scan (whcih made me wait 50 minutes) and running late for work and thats what I get. I actually dont care if they make me wait tomorrow as I am going to be in there for a while asking EVERYTHING.
Hope everyone is feeling ok today.......
Shannon - glad that you are feeling better hun !! I have 9 days to go and my b/t is scheduled for the 12th Dec ... exactly 12 days before xmas !!! So hoping it is a +ve ... What injections are you on hun ....
TL - wow those plans sound like a beautiful xmas gift - you are lucky to have the talent to be involved in such a beautiful process ... Youch on your poor arm !!! Hope that doesnt happen every time you need to have a b/t ... what are they looking for in the baseline levels ??
Carla - you go for it hun and dont stop until you have ALL and I mean ALL the answers you need !! I cannot believe that they made you wait that long even with no one there, my blood would have been boiling to the point I had steam coming out of my ears if it was me lolol .... SIVF are really good in the morning getting ppl in and out as they know so many ppl have to get to work on time .. in the words of antz pantz lol "sick em rex" ..... lolol dont know if it really works but the saying just popped into my head then and now I cant get rid of it lol ....
