Melsta..hahahahahahahaha your too funny......how are you feeling by the way.....any signs.......not long to go now...........I see this is your first time.......oh GL hun.......wouldnt it be wonderful......staypositive which you seem to be and those 9 days will just fly by.
Carla - he he he yes i have no control over the weird thoughts that pop into my head at times lolol - make sure you let me know what happens with them hey !!!
I am feeling ok, had lots of twinges yesterday and last night but not as many today ... so hopefully Mini Me has embedded ( I keep going to say he ?? ) anyways yes feeling ok, just patiently waiting out the next 9 days esp since we are not testing before the b/t either .... I have to find strength to do that but know I will ... not sure about signs as not sure how early they would appear IYKWIM ????
Blackduckies - all the best sugar
Carla darling - fingers crossed for Wednesday - it's like they are doing all they can to make your head race in circles. The wait will be over soon though!
Slyder - I had a friend that smoked all the way through pregnancy and drank like a fish - it's so hard to sit back and do "live and let live" when you know it is wrong. My Mum would always say - it's dumb to walk backwards up stairs naked on broken glass - but you cannot make laws against everything
TL - Weekend would be lovely - I am really central so can meet anywhere.
BG - I think obssessing abour not obssessing is slightly obssessive.
Peta - Excellent news - you must come
Vicki - I am so sorry darling and I am sending all the positive energy I can.
Melsta - sticky little mini me - dig deep little fella!
Shannon - Hello honey - good luck with the injections honey - grow little follies GROW
Not much to report except I am in rude health and DP ungraciously said "are you less bloated today" when I strutted around the room this morning - OUTRAGEOUS. So I threatened to give his guys bits another pat and he screamed.
Am still watching out and need to ring FS later to let her know how I am feeling.
Hugs to all - it's going to be an awesome day!
DD - ahh you are a classic, bet your DH thinks twice before he says anything like that again for fear of getting a "pet" lolol ... good to see that you are still looking out and doing all you can for your health hun, tis the only way to be ....
Lol DD
Melsta how is Mini me
TL - he is doing good (OMG I always write he) woops I should say he/she is good lolol ... I had heaps of twinges and odd sensations yesterday but nothing since last night ... not even a flutter .. so not sure what is happening there but the nurse assures me all is ok ...
How is the fitness regime going? I cannot wait to get started walking again esp now all the xmas lights are on in the surrounding streets makes the view so much more worthwhile when you can be spirited by the season !!
Dellydoo, you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that you're OK! BG gave me the news of your E2 levels and the freeze all while I was in hospital, and I've been worrying ever since! I'm such a stress head! But, having been there before with OHSS, I know it's not something to mess about with. Take care, rest well...
Well... I'm home! I'm still very tired and wobbly and keep having to remind myself to drink heaps... you get so used to being on the drip and not needing to as much, then you focus on drinking heaps while off the drip so you can go home... and then you forget!
Struggling to catch up with everything after a week - I'll get there eventually!
BW
BW- have been reading how everything has been going. So happy that you are home, and getting better :) I hope the stay in hospital was ok and they took good care of you. It was prob the best place to be. Good luck with the embies, i know it may sound too soon, but how long before they will let you do a FET??? Fingers crossed.
Mel
Mel, it sounds odd, but it's one of the advantages of having been here before. I know my FS will insist on a break cycle, so it will be January before we can do a FET. Even if I manage to convince him to let me do a FET straight away, the ovulation induction method we use has me all too likely to time things for transfer to be Christmas Day. If I induce ovulation for our break cycle, transfer is all too likely to land on the first day of school... So now that AF is here, I'll start the pill soon, have AF just after Christmas and get lined up for a FET in mid-January.
I just noticed your sig - congratulations on the twins!
BW
BW - Oh thank goodness you are ok hun and back with us !!! Hope you are definitely on the mend and make sure you guzzle like crazy sweets ....
WOW Mel thats fantastic congratulations on twins...........
How you getting on Melsta........8 days to go darlink!!!
Carla - getting there soooo tired this morning I slept in for an extra 40 mins lolol .... only 8 days to go and counting - basically this time next week I would have had the blood taken and would be having the most impatient of days waiting for a blood test - I said to my DG i want to be at home that day ... but he thinks I would be better off at work with something to keep my mind off it ....
How are you this morning miss carla?
Mel - congrats on the twins hun !!! You will soon discover a whole new side to the term "busy" he he !!
Hey Melsta....
8 days and YES counting....good for you and I think I agree....keep yourself busy and then maybe go home with DH just before they call you are both together for the outcome.
Had my scan today...NOPE.....things are actually getting smaller!!! Looks like its cancelled..just waiting on the conformation phone call this afternoon. They dont think I can start up again until January because of people going on holidays.....do I sound selfish when I say BAD LUCK.....Im sure there are other staff that can cover for people like us to have test etc......I want to have a baby and dont want to have to wait till people come back from holidays to do so.....oh Im a horrible person but this is my life !!!!!
Morning all hope you are well
BW - I am so happy you are back home and off the ward - BG has been keeping us posted and darling I have been so careful as a result. I am here on day seven and am feeling fine - I have been drinking so much water/gatorade and been avoiding exercise (easier than you might think). Thank you so much for thinking of me honey. Great, teary again!
Carla - Breathe sweetheart. You are not selfish, you are human. When I was a kid I would constantly get accused of wanting everything my own way - Ummm - who else's way should I want??? It is natural to feel this way but counter productive if it increases your stress levels.
Melsta - 8 more days baby we are all with you
Mel - Well done sugar!
TL - Good morning to you too angel. What do you think about next weekend as potential meet, greet and (in my case) bleat!
Thanks for the congrats girls. We are very lucky, but almost every day i think about the journey i have been through. The worrying doesnt go away!
Carla, fingers are crossed for today, i hope things turn our better than they sound. That sucks about having to wait until Jan. I dont understand the holiday thing either, i have to work all the way through....
BW- make sure its a happy and relaxing Christmas, you deserve a break, and when you feel down remember the embies you have on ice, and what will happen in Jan. I had hyperstimulation second time round (but no where near as bad!!!), the docs and u/s people were doing scans and were amazed at the size of my ovaries and that was at 7-8 weeks after egg colllection!! By that stage i was used to the bloated look! I hope this time round is successful for you and that 2008 is your year :)
Slyder- yeah im back already!! Very happy and settled now. Thats a shame about the clinic's so called "natural" cycle. I honestly dont understand why they insist on using meds... Do you think you will have both put back this time?? Hope you and DW have a great Christmas. Mum has been telling me about the great weather down there!! Sounds even better than up here!!!
Hi to everyone else, good luck with TTC and your cycles.
Mel
Hi all,
Hope you are all well.
Carla - I don't think you are selfish at all - or if you are, then I am too :D! There is already enough waiting in IVF without having to delay your cycle due to other people's holidays. I totally understand how you are feeling.
Dellydoo - Congratulations on your EPU, glad you and DP are on the mend!
Melsta - More sicky vibes for Mini Me!!
BW - Glad you are out of the hospital, congratulations on your 7 snowbubs, hope you are feeling like your old self again soon.
My BT is day after tomorrow - fingers crossed!!
Yep definitely going for two.
Slyder - go for the 2 I felt better when we did 2 felt I did all I can
DD - Saturday afternoon or Sunday I can do next weekend any ideas?
Mel - Congrats on your twins sweet hope to be joing you soon
Carla - Bubs will be with you soon would you like to catch up next weekend with DD, Peta and I
Peta - Does next weekend suit you?
Hmmm - what about southbank for Sunday brunch - or Emporium?? I am really central so can get anywhere.
Slyder- 2 = double delight!!
Carla - oh no hun, firstly sending you a great big hug right now !!! I can understand about wanting it now we are all in the same boat, what happens for ppl who are going through treatment over xmas or do they not do that at your clinic? I would be asking them what staff they do have on and why you cannot get started again ??? Surely they dont close down completely in which case there wuld be ppl on hand to help ..... grrrrr i am angry with you on that one hun !
Slyder - go for the double !!! hope that everything goes to plan on this one and that your DW manages through it all again ...
Hi to Mel, TL, DD and BW - hope you are all having great days ..... it is "hump day" mid week which means the weekend is creeping even closer YAY !!!!
Thankyou ladies for saying that......You really all are my sounding boards with great advice.
We will just have to wait and see. Maybe its for the better and its just what my body needs..a break. Well Im trying to stay positive and bring the positive out of this negative situation.
Tigger.......OOOHHHHHHHH bad timing......We are moving that weekend...I wont be able to do anything except that.....I hope there will be another time that we can though...I am definetley keen to meet you.........will you let me know the next time you do....
Melsta......easy tiger....lol!!!!
I did ask those questions. They are still ring ing me this afternoon t discuss that. She told me this morning that they do close down and that there will be limited staff there to take calls etc but she also said that the lab closes down to excessive cleaning. What about allthose people that have transfers this week and next,....staff would have to be there for those people......I get different stories all the time but thats the latest. I will speak to my FS after 3 today ...she is going to try and get me started again this months cycle....I cant beileve the only month I needed to "O" and I didnt!!! IRONIC HUH
good luck for the phone call hun ..... hopefully they can get you started again ... make sure you let us know what happens !!!
Gl with the phone call Carla and moving house
Hey TL - not long now until the new job hun, are you nervous at all ???
Not really nervous just want to start
well i hope it all goes perfectly for you hun, you deserve a stress free job so your body absorbs your little one in the next round ... how are you feeling health wise ??? All ok >>>
Yer I hope so 2008 I hope wioll be the year for us!!!!!
Im ok...very drained, work is very busy. I am also an insulin dependant diabetic so sometimes I feel alot more exhausted than I should. Keeping my sugars level through out this has been rather impossible but coping. Im disappointed but at least we havent been told that we cant concieve at all. I have to be thankful for that.
Thankyou Melsta for all you kind words and support. It means alot to me! xxxxxxxxxxx
2008 will bring many ppl many blessings and good fortune ... a fresh start, a fresh beginning and fresh fertility fairies !!!
Carla - you are doing an amazing job maintaining it all and then having sugar levels mainted as well ... and you are focussed on the positives which is also a really good thing .... you still have chances and it is definitely not over yet hun ... and the thanks is right back at ya !!!!
OK just had the results from the BT which I nievly thought would be Ok.
It appears I have ovarian resistance which is the reason we are not getting many eggs.
So plans still the same except 350iui from day one next time
Hi TL,
Hoping that was not bad news for you - (sorry,I'm not quite sure what "ovarian resistance" means?) :redface:
Now that you know what is going on, does that mean they can fix it for your next cycle?
I was on 400iu of Puregon for my cycle, cos I never get many eggs ether.
BB - thanks I hope not more of a shock and hormal recation I think. I am off to google ovarian resistance.
Gives me hope though thanks
TL - I know we probably all get sick of people saying "It only takes one", especially when we are feeling down and disappointed about things (I definitely do).
But take it from me, hun, it really is so true. In my first 3 cycles, we never got one single frozen embryo, but we did get two pregnancies. I used to get so miserable after every pick up, when I was told we didn't have enough to freeze, but DH would say we didn't get them cos we don't need 'em. I bet you produce some great quality embryos (quality not quantity, as they say ;)) and I know you will have success.
Yes the only takes one thing I am sure it will work
Funny my DH says the same thing with low numbers
PS how is your TWW going?
Slowly!! :rolleyes:
BT due on Friday. Still no AF, which is great, but she will probably show up tomorrow just to spite me!!
Hi girls, ive been away for a while but just letting you know i had my bt on monday and hcg was 175 however i dont feel pregnant in anyway , if anything i really feel like im going to get my period, my boobs arnt sore at all and i feel perfectly ok besides thinking any minute AF will be here? Does anyone have any ideas?
TL - are you able to let us know more information once you google it - am interested to see what it is as I am not too familiar with it ... Definitely a shock to hear news like that but Brownbug is right it is all about quality not quantity ... I guess the upside of this hun and the positive is that they know right from the beginning now what they need to know esp in terms of dosages, so this time your results should show a difference hun ... plus your mind and body will be all healthy and relaxed in your new job and everything will be in place waiting for your little one's arrival ....
FloJo - sorry hun, i am only in my 1st 2WW so cant help you much there hun ...
Hi Flojo,
I must admit, I know very little about HCG levels - is 175 a "pregnant" result?
I do know that heaps of people don't have many symptoms at all, especially very early in pregnancy. Perhaps you are just one of the lucky ones?
