Baby Dreamtime: Hope your follies are going fine, have everything crossed for you.
Mrs P: That sounds like a good decision although I know how hard it is to wait. Good on your hubby to take 8 tablets, mine is on Menevit and Blackmores Men's ultra - really hope it helps.
Dutchie: Welcome and good luck with yoru cycle.
Mrs M: good luck with weight loss, must be hard over Christmas.
Kelly: hope you get a great birthday present.
JBM: Hope your holiday is really nice.
21:
Spend the weekend on the couch, just a bit exhausted and a slight cold but managed to get over it. BT and Ultrasound today was all on track, there now seem to be 5 decent sized follicles 10 to 16mm and a few smaller ones.
Next Bt and ultrasound is scheduled for Wednesday and EPU maybe on Friday. Please keep crossing fingers for me.
JBM - hi there no not OFFICIAL yet but no AF today so i think it is! BT is on wednesday, i just really want to see where my levels are at, do i ask for a qualitative or quantitative BT?
Sara - am keeping my fingers crossed for u hun... best of luck
21 YAY Congratulations..... goodluck with your BT
JBM - hope u are enjoying your break
KellyD - Goodluck to you..hope all goes smoothly for you
Dutchie - Welcome..... Hope its third time lucky for you
MrsP - oh im so sorry that your 1st IVF cycle for postponed... hopefully next month the results come back better
baby dreamtime - how are those embies doing??? Hope u get some good news
Ok thats about all the personals i can fit in at the moment..... i hope everyone is well
AFM - my HSG is booked in for tomorrow but im still spotting so am unsure if i'll be able to have it done....it doesnt really matter anyway
Not long now till my FS appt ... Seen as i have blocked tubes what do u guys think he will say???
Oh also should DP get another SA done (before we go)??? He done one last year around April and all was ok
Mrs P, March will be here before you know it, I know you are disappointed, but it is a great idea to make sure your body is in the best possible condition to produce the best embryos. From my experience the last IVF cycle where I watched my diet very strictly produced the best embies. We will be here to count down the time with you.
Dutchie, so glad you have joined us, and Feb will be here even quicker. Will pray for third time lucky for you
Sarah, GL with your weight loss, sending you all the will power I can
Kelly, welcome back, hope you had a great trip to Perth. The best of luck for your next FET and glad to hear that FS is doing a new protocol for your FET this month. Will pray you get your birthday wish!
21, I have heard good things re menevit too. Go the boys. We are all hanging out til Wednesday so we can celebrate officially! And a qualitative hCG test detects if hCG is present in the blood. A quantitative hCG test (or beta hCG) measures the amount of hCG actually present in the blood, so ask for a quantitative.
JBM, GL to you too, at least now that Christmas is over all the temptations are removed
Jade, looking forward to Saturday. How are you going with AF, has the witch arrived?
Sara, great news re your follies, crossing all my fingers for you
Nikki, the 15th is just around the corner. I am assuming your FS will say IVF, is this what you want to do? I am so happy that we are lucky enough to be able to do this/afford it/have the technology available, just hoping it works for all of us, sooner rather than later. And always a good idea to get a SA done, but likely your FS will order this anyway. GL with your HSG tomorrow.
AFM, I heard from the clinic early this morning, my embies are almost day 3, we have 5 still on the go, 1 x 5 cell and 1 x 6 cell and 2 x 8 cell and 1 x 8+ cell, the embryologist was happy with that, I am trying to be also (but had hoped for more) so fingers crossed we will have a couple of blasties on Wednesday to transfer. Praying praying.
21 - sounds like everything is going well but I am sure you will find it a lot easier to celebrate once you get the HCG count to ease your mind
Sara - at least you have quite a few decent size follies - that sounds promising and I will keep my fingers crossed that there may be a few extra suprises in their for you!!!
Nikki - the answer is usually IVF whenever their is problems with the tubes - good luck with your appointment
Baby dreamtime - i too am looking forward to saturday. See you then!
AFM - WELL I made a big decision today. I have decided to pack up my four little frozen bubs and take them back to my original IVF clinic and my original FS (i am now on my 3rd FS) I spoke to him today and explained that I don't feel confortable with my new FS or the new clinic (they are not warm and fuzzy and my old clinic used to give me cuddles) and he is really excited to have me back and said he is determined to get me pregnant - the only reason he referred me on to a FS that specialises in recurrent failures was because he was worried that maybe he wasn't doing enough for me. BUT after seeing the supposed IVF God and have him tell me that there are no more tests they can perform on me, I figure that I may as well go back to the guy I feel most comfortable with.
So I am very excited about my decision and all the nurses at the clinic started calling me this afternoon to say they are looking forward to seeing me again (we had quite a relationship - i was there for 4 years!)
Mollygirl, glad that you've made the big decision and feel comfortable with, that's the most important thing! I hope 2009 will be the year of good changes for you hun! You seem to have had quite a journey from your sig....best of luck!
Well hi all, sorry no personals just a quick hello before I go pick up my new car.
scan yesterday showed one follie at 10mm and a slight increase in hormones so not cancelling me yet. They said they would cancel me until we had had some major drug increases so still plodding along yeah.
everyone
I just wanted to say thankyou for all of your warm welcomes and kind words.
It's nice to be able to chat with others who understand the rollercoaster that is ivf.
I will hold off on personals until I'm more familiar with everyone and the stages that they are up to but I will say best wishes to everyone and best of luck with whatever stage you are up to
AFM - I was hoping to start a new flare cycle this month, I even had my first synarel spray sun night only to be called by the nurses monday morning to be told that we cannot go ahead with the cycle this month as my hormone levels are a bit all over the place very disappointing. Anyway the plan is to start again when af comes in feb provided my hormones are ok
Hi Everyone - hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Bring on 2009 and may it be our year girls
BDT - just wanted to wish you all the very best of luck for your ET tomorrow, your embies are doing really well.
Saph204 - thinking of you and wishing you lots of luck as well. My last IVF cycle on my first scan, I had no follicles of any decent size at all, my FS just kinda went Hmmpph (IYKWIM) and said to come back for a another scan two days later, I ended up having 4 scans over 6 days and at EPU they retrieved 5 eggs, so don't give up hope, hang on in there.
Mrs M - good luck with your weight loss, sending you lots of love and lots of positive vibes to get through. Take care.
Not too many personals for today, but just wanted to catch up and let you all know that even though I don't say too much, I am thinking about you all and wishing you all the very best of luck for 2009.
Hi ladies, just a quick one before I run out the door.
Jodie and Mels, thanks for the well wishes!
Dutchie, bring on Feb
Saph, fingers crosses for you too
CP, how are you going?
Smithy, how are you going?
Jade, that is fabulous news, I am so glad you have made a decision and feel so happy and excited about it!
AFM, I have the day off tomorrow to chill, I have AP booked before and after my ET, which is at 12 noon. Wish me luck!
Dutchie : As you have done a flare ivf cycle b4, I was wondering if it was "suggested" you did ISCI with it, or is it a common occurance. I am starting our first "flare" 2morow, all being well, and the plat, mentioned "isci" and I thought that was odd as my dh doesnt have a prob with swimmers, and fs and I hadnt discussed isci, last time I saw her..
YAY Congratulations..... goodluck with your BT
Hope its third time lucky for you
NIKKI,
everyone
very disappointing. Anyway the plan is to start again when af comes in feb provided my hormones are ok
