Hey Everyone.
I have finally had the time to come back here and see how you are all doing... Stil trying to catch up with where everyone is.
We're trying IUI this month - I go in to check if I am ovulating on Saturday, and then IUI hopefully on Monday!! Then we are of on Holiday for Christmas - and we'll see from there.
Hope everyone has been ok.
Hi girls
I am insanely busy with work and study, so sorry I have been MIA. I have been following your progress, but little time to post.
I"m also taking a bit of a mental leave of absence after my cancelled cycle, so I will be back on here in full swing in January!
Love
Neptune

i am so excited.
i will be having pregnyl injections, never had them before, bit nervous. to help me to make more projesterone.
i will find out if i am pg on my birthday. this is it. staying positive.
got a shiatsu massage tomorrow and acupuncture next friday
trying to relax.
Well we are finally getting closer to start day four our first IVF, so just popped in to say hello to all again. Had our 'Day 21' appt today, picked up all the drugs - phew! A lot more than for OI. Plus I have to take Clexane for my FVL, so that's 3 injections a day! I joked with DH that I'll have to get up at 5am to get them all done ha ha. Since I don't have an AF cycle, I essentially get to chose my start date in Jan 09 - just have to have a BT to check all is baseline and then we pick 'Day 1'.
A hiccup, hopefully minor, is that DH has come down with an infection in his testicle!!! I know - talk about bad timing. He's had it twice before in his life - something to do with being stressed and rundown. Anyway he's on some major antibiotics at the moment. I am worried it will affect his sperm quality. Has anyone experienced something similar? Clinic is going to do a SA when I do my BT before starting, but it will suck if it gets to early Jan and I find out we're delayed further. But we'll see what happens.
Does anyone use ice to numb prior to injections? I'm a little scared about doing 3 at once - I bruise easily and my OI got quite painful in the end...
Hope everyone is going well, whereever you are in your cycle!! ;)
Oh I almost forgot my GOOD news - my PhD thesis was accepted, so now you can call me Dr P - ha ha ha.
Hi everyone
I'm back in here again after our ectopic/miscarriage last week @ 4.5 weeks. Had a follow up with my FS yesterday and they are going to review my plan as they think I'm a "special case". May last cycle went so long - FET was at day 24 - so they seem to think that I may need more support during my cycles to make the perfect environment for my little one to live. So possibly will be changing from tablets to injections in my further cycles.
Roll on January, when hopefully we will be able to do another FET transfer and get better results this time.
Sorry for no personals, after my stressful TWW journey I'll have to read everyones posts to meet all the newbies and catch up on us old timers.
hi girls i hope everyone is doing ok!
its so busy in here!
AFM- well i got AF right on time cd28 and now will not be getting an xmas bfp but possibly a new years one! this is cycle number 9 and it took just over a year to get preg the first time round (miscarriage) so hopefully statistic wise its not too far away! got the DP on menevit been on it for a month now so hope it does something! I emailed the gold coast fertility clinic and got a response saying a urologist is meaningless so Im making an appointment with an ex GP of mine hoping to get the damn referral in my hand 9 months in the making! wish me luck!
also there hasnt been a BFP in here for a while COME ON!!!!

Hi everyone:redface:, I dont know if I'm in the right place but someone told me that this was an excellent site for some support so I thought I'd give it a go. We have been TTC for 5 years and am over it! I have PCOS and my hubby has issues as well. We are starting IVF (ICSI) in March after a last holiday and it can not some soon enough! I am nervous and excited and scared and everything in between. I'd love to be able to talk to people who actually get it!....anyway, here's hoping this works:pray: *BJ*
BJ welcome, hope your stay here with us is a short one. We are all here to support each other in anyway possible. Hope you enjoy your holiday.
HI BJ! welcome
i have been trying for 2 years so i understand! as do all the other women here. you will be addicted to this site, trust me! im feeling stuck in a rut myself at the moment, i think it must be this time of year! anyway good luck with your journey and keep us posted!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, this is great!
Hey 21andTTC#1, yeah I'm down at talle valley. Got refered by Dr Martin up in Arundel and am seeing Andrew Davidson at John Flynn (city fertility). Who are you dealing with?
Babytruj - Good luck with IUI this month, I have my fingers crossed for you.
Neptune - Hi, hope you're ok.
JBM - Good luck with your FET hun, and good luck with the pregnyl injections.
MRS P - Good luck with your injections Dr P. A friend of mine told me you can get numbing gel from the pharmacy and she reckons it works great.
Kelly D - Sorry to hear about your news, good luck for January, lets hope the new year is a good one!
21andTTC#1 - Good on you for trying another GP. You go girl, you'll get a referral soon.
MRS M - Not long now!
Mindy80 - Good luck with your FET, I should see you in the 2WW!
BJ - Welcome, and you've come to the right place, these ladies are awesome and it really helps to speak to people who know what you are going through. Good luck for March!
lilmisshavachat - Hi, hope you're well.
Smithy - Hi honey, I hope 2009 comes quickly for you, I hope you're well :)
AFM - I am still a bit sore from EPU but feeling better every day. I have my Transfer on Sunday, I'm a bit nervous but very excited. This is all so new to me as this is my first cycle. We are doing a Day 5 Blastocyst. :pray: all goes well.
lilmiss- hey! yeah im trying my best! i just want the new year to start! i havent seen you in a while, hope you are doing good :) wll be seeing new gp next week I will make an appointment today! i do love my other gp though but he just doesnt seem to get it and i dont want to feel like im betraying him!
jen= hey! yeah ive had enough and im going to take control of something seeing i cant control my own body!
BJ- cool thats not too far from me! is dr martin any good? im not really dealing with anyone yet as the girls here know ive spent the last 3 months trying to get a referral but everyone keeps ignoring me! i was only given a urologist referral but im going to go with monash ivf at allamanda hospital in southport. i want my referral by new year! good luck with your journey, please keep me updated!
everyone else try and stay strong! i know x mas is hard, but i think of it as just another day, and one to spend with my wonderful partner. new years is just around the corner and i'l be approaching turning 22 and having to do ivf, who would have thought! I never did! Also Ive never brought this up but i had clamydia in the past due to infedelity on my partners behalf, and would you believe it was with a heavily pregnant woman, the irony! all is forgiven and was many years ago now but it is always in the back of my head that this is the cause of all the problems, has anyone experienced std related infertility, if you dont mind me asking, also I know what DP did was absolutley terrible but we are happy now and much in love so please dont judge, thankyou.
On a much happier note! I think when we all get our BFP's we have to meet up! just a thought!

Hi girls
REading and lurking whilst supposed to be working and studying :shhh:
21 TTC#1 - Just a thought....why don't you just book into whichever fertility place you want, then just go to the GP and say. "I have an appointment on such adn such a date, can I have a referral to such an such a doctor please". That's what I did....I knew I wanted to see Prof Chapman in Sydney, so I just booked it in advance, then went to my GP to get a referral. If it's a done deal, the GP just has to write the referral.
You don't need a referral to just book the appointment! go for it.
Hello to everyone...keep up the trying, jabbing, sniffing and bring on some Christmas BFP's!!!!!
Neptune
Hey 21TTC#1 - Hand up here for the Clymidia... Mine i think was a previous partner and I think I had it for quite a few years... It's all clear now but when I had my Lap done Dr found scarring in left tube.. I'm assuming Clymidia is what caused it.. Dr said that with scarring and a little endo and adhesions that this is what would be delaying my conception... I hope you get some answers soon and if it's suggested to you to get a Lap done It would find if there was any permanent damage in you.. Take care
Dee
neptune- Hey thats a great idea! i have booked appointment for new gp couldnt get in until friday so I will plead my case to him and if this attempt fails I will try your method! I cant wait also how long does it take to see a FS is it like a 3 month wait?
lilmiss- Im also afraid of scarring, ive never been checked and I never even got a follow up after my miscarriage and D and C an nervous they may have botched me as my periods are heavier and longer since the procedure and much more painful. Also does the FS order all the laps and testing or doyou have to get that done at a GP before or do you just go to a FS and they will do all the tests there? sooo many questions i need answered! DP has been tested and we have male factor but i havent been tested yet I was hoping to ust get a referral and get it all done there.
21andTTC#1 - Some FS are easier to get into than others.. I can thoroughly recommend Dr Korman at Queen street.. He's the medical director of Monash GC... He is also the hardest to get into.. Could be as long as 4mths.. You can call his office and make an appointment without a referal as long as you get one before you see him.. I know that waiting that long sounds horrible but it is worth it to get a good doctor.. You may as well wait for the tests as my FS ordered them redone by Monash labs anyway.. My FS did my Lap at his request... As fo9r heavier and more painful AF I don't really know but if you want to PM me with any questions you've got and i'll try and help where possible.. you don't have to go through all of this alone.. That's what we're all here for.. :hug:
lilmiss- thanks so much for the info! yeah i have the info pack from monash on queen street. Did u see Korman? is he nice he looks kinda scary! i was going to go with Dr penny usherwood. so confusing, I think i might go with korman seeing he is in charge. thanks again for the info, we have both been trying for the same amount of time ive noticed aswell. are you with monash? i dont think i have ever asked, anyway Il PM u with any further questions, PM me too if you like. thanks for the support :)
21andTTC#1- Dr Martin was good for a referal but I don't go up there anymore, too far away. We did go to Monash last year to enquire about everything and I didn't like the doc at all! Not to mention I was having an old fashioned freak out about having to go through this at all....now all of a sudden I'm almost 28 and I've put it off for too long. I am even having a bit of a dissagreement with DH about waiting til March to start, he doesn't want to start earlier incase we get a BFP and the money we've spent on the trip would be wasted cos I wouldn't want to travel to Thailand preg (wishful thinking it would work 1st time hey) But besides that I am stoked with the guys at City Fertility. Why have other GP's been ignoring you?
I hope everyone is having a good day though....positive thoughts all round xxx
:doh:wow im glad some one has finally spoken up...
i to had this terrible clymidia and thats why im here as well as a couple of other things BUT its a yukky thing to find out you have i was devastated about 8 and half years ago to find this out after going for a NORMAL PAP SMEAR yep my lovely partner at the time FORGOTT to tell me his was having a fling for the past year MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM i could have killed him and nearly did but, its out there girls i no and it can go UNDETECTED FOR YEAES just doing all its dammage
so thank you for speaking out you really have made me feel better knowing im not the only one;)
21&ttc#1...... go get em girl you will get pg i have faith hang in there one good thing is THAT YOUR STILL ONLY YOUNG i no this doesnt make you feel any better but you will get there and ill be watching very closly.and i would never say any thing to you about your partner if you pair have worked all this out i totally take my hat off to you hun and would never judge or be cruel...things happen
have a wonderful weekend girls
