    hi again girls just online researching pregnancy stuff and conception as ALWAYS!! i tested again this arvo with my OPK fertility monitor stick and it says my estrogen is higher along with my LH even more so than this morning, peeonasick.com says that a high LH surge detected around AF time can indicat HCG as they are similar, its complicated! im still not going to POAS with a preg test as i dont want to spend the next 3 days upset inevitably waiting for AF, im still very doubtful but never had this happen before, the test stick is showing even stronger results than when i was ovulating! i also have a sharp stabbing like pain on my left lower side. but then again i am ignoring ALL symptoms along with the shocking headache I have right now!!!

    Hi Girls,

    Hope you all had a nice start of the New Year.

    JBM tahnsk for yoru support - think it's a good idea to get yoru course out of the way, we also waited with starting IVf until DP had his Phd out of the way - it just dowsn't help having too many things on at the same time.

    Nikki: thanks for thinking of me - hop eyou get your results in time.

    21: Sorry can't help but really amazed about how much you know about these thing - hope things go alright for you.

    Saph - happy jabbing cycle buddy - what type of cycle are you doing?

    Lil - Good luck with the natural cycle.

    Toby - how are you doing - have you started now?

    AFM Went to the clinic this morning for BT and Ultrasound, it showed 7 follicles, four of them of a reasonable size, so if everything goes ok from hereon may have about four to pick-up - that's not great but I am still very relieved as I only had two last time, soo thankfully sounds like my last cycle was just a bad outlayer. Just got the call from the clinic and they are not happy with one of my hormone levels so will have to go in and pick-up Pregnyl injections as well - means three injections each day.....

    Happy new year to all!!!

    I haven't been posting for a while but i have been checking in every few days to see how everyone is doing so I am up to date.

    Will try to catch up with personals over the next couple of days.

    DH and I have decided to do another FET this month so just waiting for AF to arrive so that I can get started on the drugs. We have 4 frozens bubs so we will thaw 2 and will transfer both if they both survive. God i hope that this time will be my time as I am simply runnung out of patience and sanity! However I have come up with my 2009 slogan 'A baby will be mine, in 2009' - what do you think???

    hi AGAIN!!! haha you must think i have no life, im on holidays!!!

    sara- Hi there haha yeah trust me you name it i know it im also a student RN specialising in fertility so that helps! I should be working in a clinic in 11 months time! also im glad this cycle is working out better for you! please keep us all informed!

    lilmiss- HEY long time no see, and thankyou, yes im very happy! i can now say 2008 wasnt a complete waste of time!

    mollygirl- Hey i love that saying! I want to steal it haha! na i wont, also good luck with this cycle, il be thinking of u! also im a big believer in 2 embryo transfers raising the chances, on paper i dont think it makes a difference but I think it does. good luck!!!

    AFM- im STILL going insane in this 21st 2WW i sometimes wonder what makes us any different, why cant we get pregnant when the girl on the pill with a casual sexual partner gets pregnant, or like my mum who got pregnant on the 1st go TWICE!!! sooo not fair!!! although it only takes strong women to do what we do, our DH and partners have NO idea although they play their "part". Im 21 and supposed to be having a great time but instead i chose to TTC at 19 with my wonderful partner now fiance who works hard to pay for all those OPKs and Preg tests, and junk food during AF and Im glad we did as i now have time to deal with it, im sooo excited to see my FS also what was the consult cost for u guys? and how long was the appointment?

    21ANDTTC#1 - I so hope that this has worked for you and you need go no further down this track but I can't comment on the test as i've never had a BFP... One step at a time 21.. Baby steps if you like.. I can't wait to hear a positive BT and you're the first BFP of the New Year... Woohoo.. Thrilled for you...

    thankyou girls for all the nice words!

    if this all works out il be so happy but in a way kinda sad as some of you, well most of you have worked so so much harder than i have and are still waiting, i feel you all deserve this much more than me. I will be in here all the time checking up on you all, you never know things may go off track as its very very early days yet and I may still be in here aswell, but i will be thinking positive. You are all very dear to me and i cant wait to see you in the preg after LTTC, A big shout out to lilmiss and smithy for all the kind words and support! there are many others that I will get to eventually! love u all!!!

    Well 21 Congrats hope all goes well.

    Hi Sara cycle buddy. I am doing a stim IUI, but as of today CD10 hormones are still at base level. Another BT and Scan on Monday to see what is happening, but have a feeling this cycle will be cancelled as I have never stayed at base line like this before. Maybe this is how it is ment to be. Doc rang me the other day and my Rebella immunity is low, they want me to take next cycle off and get revaccinated. (Yeah for the +ve thinking) Will keep you updated.

    Wow, 21, that fantastic!!!! Congratulations, go get yourself a blood test!!!!

    There's a lot of poeple here, so I'm a bit rushed for time and personals.

    I have been missing in action for a while after my last cancelled cycle in December. It floored me, it really did, and I had to just take a mental break and try to get though Christmas etc. Anyway, AF is about to arrive and as soon as she does I start a flare cycle, so Synarel on day one and Puregon 400 day 2. They have doubled my puregon dose to be sure. Fingers crossed.

    Happy new year to you all!!! 2009 will be a good year

    21 - Just thought id pop in n let u know the bleeding you have could be polps on your cervix i have exactly the same prob all the time and the doc said its polps and they can be removed. see your gp huni. as for the pain you had iv got that but i do have scarred tissue (adhesions) and endo and the pain is mainly down to that.

    good morning girls!

    i just cant leave this forum yet! i dont want to! thankyou so much for the kind words and support, once again im not getting overly excited, i did POAS again this morning and was still positive but not any darker, AF is supposed to be here on monday so we will see! getting a BT next week to be sure, i cant thank all you girls enough for all the info and support, I will still be making my FS appointment just incase as obviously there is something not right for it to take this long! I know how you feel, when someone gets a BFP you are happy for them but you also feel a little bit of a twinge inside wondering Y isnt it my time? or life isnt fair, i know i did so dont feel bad if you do.

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    BFP - 2/1/09!!!

    Hi girls,

    21 - Congratulations, the first BFP for the year! Go and have a BT if you're worried, hoping you have a healthy and uneventful preganancy.

    Toby - thanks for your good wishes, thinking of you as well, good luck with your BT on Monday, I am also going back on Monday for BT and ultrasound.

    Neptune - I also had a cancelled cycle in November, it's a bummer. Good luck with your new cycle.

    Saph - I am really sorry to hear about your BT result, hopefully the hormones will pick up over the weekend - good luck with your BT on Monday.

    Babydreamtime: hope EPU went well, have been thinking of you.

    Molly: Hope AF arrives soon.

    to everyone else.

    AFM: I did somthing really stupid yesterday. The Orgalutran shots have a big airbubble in them and I thought I need to get it out before I inject it. The shot was a bit stuck and when I tried to get out the airbubble quite a bit of medicine came out too.

    Instead of discarding the shot I was thinking that they cost $90 a shot and injected it - that's so stupid, would really hate it if thinking of $90 would mess up the whole thing for me. I range the emergency line for my clinic and the nurse said it's probably okay, that there is nothing I can do now anyway and that there is no need to get out the airbubble - really wish someone would have told me, the instructions in the packet say you need to get it out

    Going back on Monday for BT and Ultrasound, please keep fingers crossed that everything is going okay.

    21 - Don't worry I don't thinking any of us is feeling bad - every BFP is an encouragement
