That's awesome Jen I will follow you (without stalking I promise) I guess we are all on the TWW with you, well it will help pass the time waiting til my treatment starts. Take it easy and thing good things sweety.
I think its about time i started posting in here (i hope you dont mind)... DP and i have been TTC baby number 2 for almost 3 years with no luck... i had a LAP done on the 19th of November and got told both my tubes are blocked and my GYNO wanted me to have another lap done straight after chrissy... which with the wonderful help from alot of bb members i decided that it was a silly thing to do as it could do more harm then good so i got a referal to do a HSG in early Jan 09 and am having my first FS appt on the 12th of Jan (with the wonderful advice from Smithy )
So obviously it has been such a shock to us finding out we'll need to do IVF to have a baby (as it would to everyone) But with the help and support from many lovely ladies it has made it not as scary to travel down the IVF road
I really look forward to getting to know you all and share in all your high's and lows
I haven't been here too long myself, but everyone is awesome and we all try to support each other
I am just yuck now, got my AF (which is good in theory) i also have a cold so i really feel yuck.
I am in the country in a town of 50 peole so find this site a great release and I can talk to people all be it by screens that understand how I feel and what I'm going through.
Jen34 - Sending all the positive vibes I can muster to you and your little embies....STICK STICK STICK! I hope it wasn't too hard for you to visit your SIL the other day, it is so hard to put on a brave face. We had to go and visit our friends the other day as well, she's only 20 and they only been married for 2 months when they got PG by ACCIDENT! aaaahhhhh! But maybe holding our friends and fam's little ones will tranfer some baby energy?! Anyway, best of luck. Take it easy and I'll be watching out for the news.
21andTTC#1- We saw Brian Mullins, I don't even know if he is there anymore. Monash does have a really good rep but it all depends who YOU feel comfortable with. I don't even remember the price from Monash but I don't think City could be that different. Do you have Private HC? I've got a price list from City, I could email it to you if you like. I don't know if I'm meant to beacause its a bit different for everyone but it would give you an indication. I feel really good about Dr Davidson and the nurses there, but it might be different for you. Am I helping? Apart from their rep I think it all comes down to personality so just go and see someone and if it doesn't feel right then go see someone else. Don't let anyone tell you that your too young to worry about this yet, if this is what you want then DO IT and don't take no for an answer. I was 22 when we started trying and everyone kept telling me that I was still young and to go and travel and don't stress about it and now I'm almost 28 and they are saying "oh you have to do ivf and it would be great if you could do it before 30 (not that 30 is old at all!) so just keep bugging them until they give you a referal and go and visit every fertility doc on the coast if you have to! keep me posted ok xxx p.s let us know if you get that ring!
JBM - Good luck with the baby, i hope she is sticking like nobody has ever stuck before. xx
hey guys just a quick reply today as gotta go do some real work aka housework.
thanks for your support all and i have loved our topics in here. i learn a lot from you guys. what amazing women we've got in here and so much stronger than me. keep up the good work.
afm: well those pregnyl injections hurt ( ow) anyway does anyone know when you can do a test when using pregnyl. i got last injection on monday it is a 1500 ? who knows what that means anyway???
still feeling great, talking to my baby , relaxing and taking it easy. not insane yet. keeping very positive. xxoo to all
nikki- hello! welcome! you will be a regular in no time
BJ- YES! YOU ARE HELPING! I FEEL good about your clinic, did you say you go to the one at john flynn? I cant remember sorry, Monash gives me bad vibes i wish it didnt coz it has such a good rep and the newest technology, I want a female doc aswell, I personally think male nurses are better but I like female doctors! strange i know! i work with them so id know i guess! There is another lovely girl on here called BECD she is 22 and done 3 cycles already, I hope she doesnt mind me talking bout her! HI if your reading she is a great help too! I feel good about 2009! My DP's mother is soooo supportive and is going to help pay, i am so pleased so thats a help too. We were told by GP that IUI would be good for us too so pricing is prob different, you dont have to e mail me, thankyou anyway! keep me updated!!! thankyou again!
AFM- im on CD 7 and my fertility monitor is requesting a testing stick im confused! anyone else on here using one? i still havent gotten a peak yet either i swear i ovulate im 28 days and have the signs. im hoping for a BFP for new years!

Ladies
Hi Nikki - Welcome.. I'm so glad you're on the road to some answers..
JBM -
BJ, Rob and Smithy Hello
and Hi to anyone I've missed..
AFM - I've just hit the second week of the TWW.. Had a CD21 blood test done this morning.. The Lady who took my blood asked if I was ready for Christmas and I got all teary.. Damn I hate it when that happens.. All I can focus on is the 21st cause that is when AF is due...I may consider sorting out Chrissy day after that seeing as i'll be having about 20 people over on the day...
Aww lilmisshavachat I am feeling for you, just try to wait for the AF (21st) I know it's easy to say cause I'm not you but try to find things to do that keep you busy but calm at the same time. I have been reading some books and they all say yoga is great especially during the tww.
I will wait to here the results and I hope they are good ones.
Hi 21and TTC1 - It took me that long to finish my post that I missed yours... Good luck finding someone who suits you.. It really is important for you to trust your specialist..
Jen34 - glad your transfer went well! Rest up and think sticky thoughts
Nikki - welcome!
AFM - looking forward to a few days off at xmas and then January finally starting! I am pretty worried about DH's swimmers though as he's just had an infection in his testicle for a week (ewwww) and although we're going to get a sperm analysis done anyway to be sure, I'm worried that we'll be delayed further. Ugh.
Also have been reading up on Clexane, which I have to use during my IVF injections - sounds horrid, another nasty painful injection! Bah. Anyway I guess it must be done, to get the 'prize' at the end!
Smithy - Thanks honey for your support, it means alot I hope you're well and looking after yourself.
xx Rob xx - Hi hon thanks for that, I won't consider it stalking lol! I will keep popping in to say Hi and see how you're doing. I hope your cold gets better soon.
Nikki - Welcome, you'll find these women amazing they have helped me so much with my 1st IVF Cycle, you've come to the right place.
BJ - Thanks so much, I'm praying for my embies to stick too. I know what you mean my SIL is 25 and having her 3rd, its hard but don't worry we will get there and lets hope 2009 is going to be an awesome year for all of us. Sending you
JBM -Sending you lots of in your 2WW.
21andTTC#1 - I hope you get your referral before Christmas.
lilmisshavachat - Good luck in 2WW, see you there.
Mrs P - Thanks so much I am thinking sticky thoughts as much as I can. I hope things work out wih DH infection for you. Is your DH taking Menevit? Our specialist recommended it, its great for DH swimmers.
AFM - I am officially in the 2WW I don't know how I am going to survive the suspense its already driving me crazy. I have my BT on the 27th Dec I don't think I'll do a HPT cause I don't want to Jinx myself.
To everyone I have missed, thinking of you, Good luck to you wherever you are in your cycle I'll be popping in to see you guys and I'm hoping to see you in the 2WW and if you are starting your cycle in Jan, I'm hoping for lots of BFP in 2009!!

So I am going to just say a big HI! (and welcome) to everyone that I haven't spoken to yet and I hope everyone is ok and thinking BFP thoughts. Big hugs to everyone and bring on the babies in 2009!!
just a quick update i have finally picked a FS and a clinic! IM SOOO PLEASED! i actually found out about her on here! she is female! AND is a professor AND is 1 of only 2 docters who hold a CREI ( a special term for like a really really smart RE degree ) so she isnt just a gyn-ob-FS she has an extra 3 years training and works through monash, she looks lovely and quite young which is shocking considering all the study she has done! she has won all these awards and I feel great about her, its at greenslopes private hospital and is a new clinic! ive posted some info just below, anyone looking for a new FS HAS to check her out! she is the true definition of girl power!
" Dr Boothroyd is a registered endocrinologist and gynaecologist in the state of Queensland. She is the only specialist in Queensland with full qualifications in both specialties of endocrinology and gynaecology. Endocrinologists deal with hormone problems of both men and women and gynaecologists deal with problems related to the reproductive system of women. She has extensive clinical experience in the complexities of couples with infertility. She is one of only three clinicians in Queensland who have completed the prestigious Certificate of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility ? a full time traineeship for three years requiring strict surgical and clinical training as well as the completion of examinations. As such she is one of the few doctors in Queensland who can truly claim to specialise in infertility. With her background in endocrinology she has unique skills in addressing both male and female factors contributing to infertility. She has trained in laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of endometriosis and tubal disease. She has been actively involved in research in many areas related to women?s health and fertility, in particular in unexplained infertility and in polycystic ovarian syndrome"
