Brown Bug I a so happy for you sweet well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happyforyou:

Hey Tigg
Yer Im a fine....disappointed but ok......
How you doing? Time will fly and before oyu know it.....you will be back onboard!! Dont forget to relax over Chrissy...this is out time ladies!!! I think we have all been throuogh more than out fair share so start jingling those damn bells!!!!
Jingle Jingle Jingle :)
Oh yay BB Congrats thats fantastic hun!! :stickyvibesboy:
first of all a big hug and congrats to BB for the BFP.... its party time !!!!
now a sad update from me..
did a scan yesterday (day 15 on estrogen tabs) to check out the lining..and was shocked to learn that its reduced to 5mm from the earlier 9mm.. (pls note i m taking 12 mg, ie, 6 progynova tabs a day).. dr. says its not at all a good response, as i m only 28 yrs and he expects a much thicker lining. he says i have always attained excellent lining during my stim cycles.. this is my first FET.
to cut a long story short, he has increased my progynova to 16 mg per day (8 tabs) and will do a scan on saturday.. if its still thin, he will skip this cycle.. :(
dont know what to expect.. but frankly, my gut feeling says it would be better to cancel this cycle rather than going in for it and getting a BFN. may be 2007 is not my year. will restart the journey in 2008 !! anyways, final decision on saturday.. wil keep u all posted..
good luck to all ... happy weekend.
Hey wanna baby...
Same thing just happened to me. Had to cancel as I wasnt ovulating but I wasnt on med's. My lining reduced and so did my follicles and we decided tocancel and if AF comes when we want it to we will try agian this month otherwise it is January for us too. Just how you said maybe 2007 isnt the year for you and you are going with your gut feeling...ME TOO...I figured...have a break...try again in a new year.....
It could just be your bidy has been throuogh too much and needs a break......try and smile...like you said....dont wanna waste a frozen angel just because I can be impatient!!! Enjoy your Christmas with a champagne babe.....BUT ALL MY LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR SATURDAY...I HOPE IT ALL GOES WELL!!!! XXX
WB - Stay strong sweet I know it is hard to hear when you are young
Hey Girls!
I hope you are all ready for the weekend! I know I am - only 2 working weeks to go till the holidays - YAY!!
BB - CONGRATULATIONS!!! How fantastic!
DD - You always make me giggle! I think its mostly because I can relate so well to what you say.
Melsta - have you held back or done the HPT? I have tried to hold back in the past (usually AF turns up after a week, so I know the answer anyway), but am keen to know how you are travelling.
Wannababy & Carla - sorry to hear of your troubles this cycle. We too may have to cancel as I didn't get AF when expected, so am now taking extra dosage of Progynova 3 times a day. Hopefully, my body will play along & be ok at scan on 17th. Fingers Crossed.
Shannon - We too are thinking of taking off on a trip next year. Heading western Qld, then up the centre & on to Cooktown, then back down the coast. Something to look forward to & I am quite keen to get away for an extended holiday (feels like I always work!). We too are thinking of going April/May 08.
TL - Woo Hoo! Last day. Hopefully they have given you an early minute today. GL for the new role on Monday. I wouldn't even have a clue about applying for a new job these days, I've been in my job for 8 years now & still happy.
Well girls, I'm off to enjoy Beer-O'Clock so will speak to you later. Take care.
Hello!!!
BB: YAY! Awesome news! :confetti: Going to grab some of your babydust for GL too! I hope you're feeling well!! :confetti:
I'm lost! You guys have done about 3 threads since I left a little over a week ago! It's going to take me forever to catch up with you all!! Please excuse the lack of personals :redface:
Well, Tassie was great - my ILs are super active people and hiked up Cradle Mountain and to Wineglass Bay.... needless to say I did not! I used it as my rest time for me and Bernard. My wedding is in two days.... eeek! I won't be able to be back on BB now for a couple of days again, but I'll be maaaaarried next time I'm on! I'm just poking my head in to say hi whilst I've got a break in the rest of the wedding preps. I'll be back on properly after Tuesday when my ILs head home.
TWW has been tolerable as I've been thoroughly distracted. My b/t is on the 12th Dec same as Melsta (Melsta we are sooooooo twins and I'm thinking of you lots!! :D) I was reading through the symptoms list from the pamphlet in the Crinone packet last night and was thoroughly amused to find that I have had almost every single one of the "very common side effects" listed LOL.
Today: Large ongoing headache from last night, continued cramping (since day 2 post ET), sore BB etc. etc. etc.
As a result I'm not speculating about anything and I know I will find it harder not to get out the old HPT closer to next Wed, but I have promised almost-DH I won't and will just have to hang till Wed and hope AF doesn't show.
I have been thinking about you all heaps and heaps whilst away, and hoping you're all well and ok
EEEEEEEEE!! A magpie just flew straight into the window in front of me! Scared the bejeebees out of me! I think even Bernard has the shakes now! eheheh...
Where was I.....
Will be thinking of you all in the next few days and really looking forward to catching up with everyone next week!
Be well and hugs all round,
Miss C
first of all, happy wedding miss_c...u must be really excited
thanks carla, triggerlinda, Peta..
infact, i dont mind if this cycle gets cancelled and i m pushed to the next cycle. but one thing that really confuses me is what is the assurance that next time would be better lining.. or rather.. what caused a thin lining this time.. ??
Any clues on the dos and donts for a thick lining would be welcome.
thanx in advance.
Welcome back Miss C! Good luck with the wedding in 2days! Yay!!! and Yep the Crinone sucks!
Peta - Holiday sounds great!!
Wannababy - Have everything crossed that lining thickens up by tomorrow! It is dissapointing when you body doesn't do what it should be! Especially when you think with age on your side you should have no probs! Argghhhh... the FS just told me mine was in a menopausal state at the ripe old age of 23! What the...
TL - All over hun!! Enjoy your weekend before you start the new place!
Well saw the FS and thankfully good news....we have at least 12 follicles at about 14mm and a great lining Yay our best result in 4 cycles so bloods and scan with FS on Mondat at 610am! and then hopefully pick up next week! Yippeee
Shan
wannababy - my only suggestions is maybe acupuncture?

thanks melsta, i am mostly planning where to from here for 2008 including a new FS, having counselling for our donor option and hanging out for a xmas holiday. i am following all your journeys quietly ATM but hoping the best for you all. it is xmas BFP time!
xx
Miss C - just wanted to say all the best for your big day tommorrow! Make sure there are lots of photo's taken as the day will just whizz by! Have a blast!
Wow. all these new people. to anyone who remembers me life has been so hectic with moving, bali, birthdays and just everyday life encounters. i am slowly.... very slowly emotionally recovering from D&C. i am meant to have rung my fs for appt but i just cant do it yet. DH said he will ring and we will try again next year. all i am thinking is 5 embies, first 3 defrosted i only have 2 lower grade ones left. cant afford another stim cycle if these two dont defrost or stick and what if heartbeat stops again? with all these worries it was what made me decide to wait and recover a bit first. i probably seem like a bit of a drama queen, but i never expected to get so emotionally down from it.
on a good note Congrats on the BFP's i have noted since my 'holiday' from BB.. is BG, BW, Ellie and Rols still out there? and i did see you were still here too Dusty
we're all still here sonya - rols is now slyder (our mod), the rest of us have mostly moved to the ltac thread...
I'm still here Sonya, just replaced Rols with the new name. I have been hoping you'd come back after we found out about your news as I've been wondering how you're travelling.
How is the new house?
Hi Sonya - Welcome back hun, and not at all drama queen thats what we are here for! :hug:
TL - Hope the first day is going great!! Did any come of the Brisbane girls catch up?
BW - Hope the first day back at work is going smoothly!
Mon - How are you going with the stims hun?
Melstra - How are you holding up in the TWW?
Just a quick update saw FS again 6am this morning and we now have at least 14 follicles ripe for the picking. Trigger tonight for EPU Wed. Had bloods to check E2 levels as FS is concerned about OHSS again. So should have our answers this afternoon!
Shan
Hey Shannon - how exciting!!! Let us know how you go with the trigger - how are you feeling at the moment?
Vicki

Sonya - hey hun hope you are doing ok, I dont think you are a drama queen at all .... the emotional aspect does take its toll but you are with ppl in here who undetstand 100% ....
Shan - oooohhh another step closer hun, good luck with it all .... 14 follies is a great number - wooohoo well done hun !!!! I'm doing ok, only 2 more sleeps to go though .... eeeek ....
TL - day 1 nearly over hun, hope you are having an awesome day and settling in well .... let us know all about it - looking forward to hearing your update !!
Dusty - hope your xmas holiday is exactly what you need hun ... sending big hugs your way !!!
YAYAYAYAY Brownbug - I am so so happy for you.
I am catching up on everything - One weekend away and everything gets away from you. Phew.
Shannon - good luck - 14 is a great number - not too many and not too few!
Fingers crossed your E2 are fab.
Melsta - we are all counting down with you!
Just had to pop in and say a huge YAY! E2 levels were high but still ok so we can go ahead with transfer and trigger at 1030pm tonight!! I am so happy at the moment after a dismal last cycle!! This time next week i will have my 2 blastys in me and hopefully some on ice!! :D
Oh and big Yay Melstra things are looking great for you!! I can see some congrats coming your way in a couple of days!!

Hi first day went well!
Sonya- Hi
Shannon - Yay trigger all going ahead
Wannababy :hug:
Hello and :bluedust: to all
hope I'm not buttin in, but Im new to this thread and realitively new to BB. Started my first IVF 2 months ago and had my first implant yesturday. Is it normal to have such confusing thoughts/emotions about all this, Im kind of excited, scared, hopeful, nervous. I'm one day into my TWW and I feel like Im going to go insane, is there any advise or suggestions anyone can offer to help me from going nuts?
Hey MWL, welcome to BellyBelly and also to this part of the site. You're at a similar stage to a few of the girls around here, and also at a similar stage to my wife.
Everything you describe is perfectly normal as I'm sure everyone here will agree. The main thing is, in my opinion, don't over analyse every twinge or feeling too much, and try and keep your brain occupied and active because the IVF devil makes work for idle brains.
PS. I also suggest you check out the IVF abbreviations and lingo as we tend to talk a bit of a dialect around here :)
Oh Wannababy :hug: I'm so sorry. I can identify with what you're going through - the same thing happened to me last week, and it was devastating. Make sure you take some time out to look after you.
Shannon - YAY!! Be sure to pop in tomorrow to let us know how you're feeling after trigger.
Hey Carla - how are you feeling?? A bit more positive?? Hope so hun...
Hi there MWL - I'm pretty new to this so don't have much advice, other than to try and take one day at a time (must remember to take my own advice sometime LOL)
Melsta - not long now!
Well, I have an update: AF arrived today, bang on schedule, so I contacted the clinic and I have an appointment on January 3, so hopefully we will have better luck this time.
Hope everyone else is doing well!
Vicki
Shannon - how did your trigger go last night hun ??? Hope you are feeling ok ...
Vicki - yay ... and here is to a fresh year and a fresh cycle that will bring better results for you - good that it arrived right on schedule too hun !!
MWL - hi and welcome ... the 2WW can be hard hun but agree you just have to go with it as much as you can ... i just kept up my water intake and rested when i felt tired etc ... just dont overdo it and try and keep as calm as possible and you will be fine hun ...
TL - glad Day 1 went well hun ... hope you continue to enjoy it ...
Wannababy - how are you feeling this morning hun ???
A big Good Morning to everyone else ... !!!!
Morning Ladies
Oh wow Melstra one more sleep! When is AF due?
MWL - Welcome! Come join the rollercoaster, yep the TWW sucks, just try your best to keep busy and relaxed :)
Vicki - Congrats on getting the go ahead for next year! That early Jan appointment will get you all organised and ready to go!
Well trigger is all done, was a bit different im used to triggering with Pregnyl but they used Ovidril this time so feeling a little dizzy and nauseas but ahhh its all part of the fun :) Just glad no more injections until transfer when we start on the heperin so going to enjoy the few days break.
Shan
Shan ... um I actually have no idea when AF is due ???? Weird I know but hopefully I dont have to worry about it ..... I dont think I will sleep much tonight ...
Did the trigger hurt ?? I iced up big time before mine and had no soreness or anything - prob cause it took half hour to defrost the area after we triggered lololol ... another step down for you hun and now looking you are yet another step closer ..... ohhhhhh !!!!!
