GOT REFERL!
hi girls - sorry, I've been out of the LTTTC thread and in the TWW. Well...I'm very excited to say that I got a BFP this month. Thanks to all of you for thinking of me and for your wishes. I'll keep following everyone's progress in here and praying for BFPs for you all.
(Janet - I've responded in the other thread and via PM, but again, just want to say how sorry I am).
xx
JBM- I am so sorry hunny. Its unfair and wrong and nothing anyone says can change it but just wanted to send you a big hug. And whatever you decided next we will be here to support you.
JBM - Im so sorry hon, it hurts so much. Sending you my love xxx
Thought I should update in here as well I guess. Our last FET cycle ended up in a BFP but we had low betas from the start and eventually we lost it on Thursday at 5.5wks. My beta is still at 16 as of yesterday, so i have another blood test next Wednesday to make sure all the hcg is out of my system.
It's pretty upsetting but the positive that I am taking away is that we know we can actually fall pregnant - before that we honestly didnt know if that was possible. Trying to look on what small positives there are.
As the safety net starts from scratch in January, it's going to be a real stretch financially to do treatment, but we will try and do another FET in Jan/Feb and then have additional testing and possibly a lap done before going through another stim cycle.
Hello girls
I havn't posted in here for ever it seems, and this was my first thread
Hi to everyone
JBM I am so sorry to hear of your BFN we all understand if you don't do personals it is tough but know we are all here for yo when you need us.
Hi all, I did a really long post with personals, and my battery went flat on the laptop and I don't have time to do it again today, sorry, I'll do it when I have more time.
I hope you're all well. Good luck to all of you wherever you are in your cycle and have a great Christmas and bring on the BFP for the New Year!
AFM - Currently on the 2ww going slowly crazy. BT next Saturday, it seems like so long away. I had 2 embies transferred at Blastocyst and thought another 5 hopefully to be put away in the freezer, but I got news only 1 Blastocyst managed to be frozen. I thought there would be more, but I guess 3 eggs that survived to Blastocyst out of 7 is not too bad I guess.
:pray: for that Christmas Miracle.
hi girls!
Wow it seems like such a sad time in here at the moment :(
BEC- im sorry darl i was really hoping for you, i think of u as my mentor and wanted to see you succeed, i truly believe this time next year we will ALL be pregnant.
JBM- im so sorry hun, i just try to think of it as being "gods will" tough I know but its all I can think of when im down, that its all out of my hands and that you can only do so much an the rest is up to him.
AFM- well I'm booking my first FS appointment tomorrow YAY! im sooo happy, i think i will be waiting a few months but its going to be worth it! ALSO i got a positive OPK AND a positive reading on my fertility monitor yesterday so i am ovulating today on CD13 and did the dance this morning and on the night of CD 11 and will be again tomorrow morning haha! so if this doesnt work i dont know what will, its the first time I have ever pin pointed my ovulation and im feeling really good and I truly believe I will get a new year surprise! I have to think positive! also my friend had an abortion last week at 12 weeks and I didnt know what to say to her, I felt so ripped off, she didnt even tell the father and was drinking at about 8 weeks onward i felt so sad for that poor little baby, but it is out of my hands. good luck girls I will talk to you all again tomorrow!

CD 13 of 28
This is my first post, so please ladies be gentle!
I'm 29 from Perth and I've been on other forums before but this is my first time on BellyBelly after a recommendation from a friend.
We've been ttc #1 for 9 years. In that time we've had 3 miscarriages, the first being in 02, the second in July 07 and the most recent in Feb this year.
We have unexplained infertility (though am raiding my Dr's next year for more tests just to be sure). We said from the word go that we would not explore fertility treatments if we couldn't fall pregnant naturally. If we couldn't have children naturally then there was a reason for that and honestly after seeing other friends and family go through nearly every type of treatment available, I swore I'd never do it. As hard as it is to say, I believe some of us aren't meant to be Mum's but I won't resign myself to that without one more fight, one more year of ttc.
9 years of ttc has taken it's toll and after my last miscarriage, I wanted nothing to do with babies or baby making or even the possibility of getting pregnant. We decided that we obviously weren't meant to have children and so gave up the ttc dream earlier this year BUT I just can't walk away without one more fight, so I'm giving it 12 months at the most and then if nothing, then it's time to say, parents, we will not be.
I hope to get to know you all well and lend support to you all on your ttc pathways, IMO long term ttcer's should stick together!
Hi ladies i hope you dont mind me joining in here, ive been with BB for a while and usually frequent the LTTTCAC thread but it is so busy in here thought i would pop my head back in - i lurk all the time. lol
AF started for me yesterday and very heavey today - will call FS tomorrow as i am feeling quite weak with it all and it is my first since D&C. cant do a cycle as clinic is closed so looks like im out till mid march
Hope youall have a lovely christmas and bring on the BFP for 2009
Bondi welcome to BB, im sorry you have had such a long journey. we have been TTC with IVF for nearly six years. I hope you get some answers and get your BFP soon.

Loula, honey, so sorry to hear the witch is visiting and being so horrible to you also...
:goodluck:
Hi Everyone,
It has been about a month since my last post. So much has happened since then! I wouldn't know where to start with the replies, so forgive me for giving one reply to you all. I can see many of you have suffered losses recently, and trying to keep it all together just before Christmas must be a difficult task :hug: It can't be easy for you and although I don't say hi much, I think of all of you all the time. I hope Christmas with family and friends gives you all renewed energy and positiveness, to help carry you through to the next stage of your cycles. It's important that you give yourself and DPs a break. You both deserve it.
For those of you going through the TWW, :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
I know there is also quite a few new comers this month also :welcome: . I hope you get as much out of this group of gals as I have.
AFM: I have kept myself busy with other things whilst waiting for Jan to arrive. Having a two month break from treatment has done DH and I the world of good :inlove: We are just looking forward to Christmas and will worry about Jan when it comes.
I may not speak to you all before Christmas so MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :D: D :D

Hi Everyone,
It has been awhile since I have posted in here also, but just wanted to let you all know that I have been lurking and sending you all my love and the biggest of wishes for whatever stage you are at.
JBM - I am so sorry to hear of your BFN. I hope that you are doing OK, sending you the warmest of hugs, take care sweetie.
Bec - I am so sorry that this wasn't your time either hun, thinking of you.
21 - so glad that you are excited about seeing the FS, I know the wait is one of the hardest things isn't it, but two weeks will go by so fast, especially with Christmas and New Year in between.
Bodhi - Welcome to BB and thankyou for sharing your story. You have had such a long journey and yet you still have hope - that in itself is inspirational.
Good luck to everyone, may 2009 be our year...... each and everyone of us.
Take care all - sending you all a big Christmas hug. :grouphug:
well im finely home now got home last night
how is everyone going ?????

got af full force today and i am very emotional at the moment. i hope i can be ok on xmas day as only my sister knows about this and everyone else might just say " whats wrong with her?' .
trying to figure out our next step. do know i'm taking a break until feb as i think i just need it after 3 negaitive results last 3 months.
sorry no personals as just not up to it yet. hugs to you all.
JBM - just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. A break might do you good. I am refreshed and ready to go again after our break. If there is anything we can do to support you just let us know.
AFM - have appointment with clinic nurse tomorrow to get everything we need to get started again. Just have to wait for Af to arrive. Bring it on.
Hello lovely girls, I have been MIA back lurking a bit. Nothing happening with me really, having a month's break. I'm flying to Melbourne today to spend Christmas with my family, poor DH has to work.
I'm waiting for next AF (early Jan) to start a flare cycle on double the dose of Puregon! Hope it works.
Merry Christmas to you all, here's to a happy and successful 2009 with lots of babies!
hi everyone!
JBM- im sorry hun, xmas is a tough time especially when u spend it with AF, mines prob going to rear with a bang for 2009!
neptune- hi there! long time no see! hope u are doing ok
its not too busy in here at the moment, everyone must be on holidays and busy and such.
AFM- well im now officially in the 2WW for like the billionth time, it seems to get easier, i mean the hope fades eventually, sad i know, but im sure you all know what i mean, instead of waiting to see a BFP its more 2 weeks of mental preperation for a BFN. I got my peak fertility on CD 12 and that was confirmed with an OPK so i ovulated day 13 or 14 at the latest, im now on low fertility according to my monitor and my opk is now a negative, does anyone else use the fertility monitor here? i feel good about this month as i finally pinpointed my ovulation and im NOT going to test until or if AF is late! GOD HELP ME! also im counting down to JAN 12 to make my first FS appointment as clinic is closed!

Hi ladies, I'm just popping in to say Hi to you all!
I hope you're all well :D and looking after yourselves.
Congratulations 21andTTC#1 thats exciting, I'm happy for you :D
AFM - I'm still in the 2ww it seems like the longest ever :rolleyes: My BT is on Sat however DH wants me to test tomorrow I'm a bit scared to do that :o really not sure I want to, he said if the news is not good news then I can have time to deal with it before Christmas Day umm I don't think 1 day would be enough :wall: men they just don't get it sometimes well they're not on all the drugs and hormonal like us anyway so they wouldn't quite get it :doh:
21 congratulation on your wonderful news.
AFM - went to clinic today picked up all the drugs which they supplied so that was a nice supprise. Before we had to buy our own. Well we can start as soon as Af arrives. Bring it on. DH is a bit worried, he has to abstain from cd8, he thinks he will burst.LOL
Oh my goodness - COngratulations hon - that is brilliant news! :D :D :D :D You will definitely have to keep us posted as to how the engagement (and wedding plans) are going :)
Hi guys
Just popping in quickly to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS :birthday2::birthday2:

hi girls!
thanks for all the lovely words! I am very happy at least something good came of this year! wedding is in 18 months, sounds like a long time but it isnt really! it will go so quick! and i dont care if im pregnant at the time! also gives me time to get into shape!
im now also in the TWW but will still be on here as this feels like my home! love u all and really cant wait til we are all pregnant together!
BEC- hello! you have been missing for a lil while, i hope u are ok, i know everyone says this but at least u know it can work, i felt like that was 50% of the fear, was NEVER be able to get pregnant, time DOES ease the pain, but only so much so dont feel like u have to get over it, i never even had a baby in me, was just a damn sac! but i still grieve the baby that SHOULD have been, after all the sperm did connect to the egg as in your case too and to me thats a little being, or a soul. i hope the new year will serve us both well. if u need to chat feel free to PM me! i missed u!
AFM- well im on CD16 today, i find its the worst! being this far away from C28! i did the last 10miu preg test yesterday morning too early i know! but i just wanted to check from last 3 cycles as they were a bit funny! had no line just a damn evap line a few hours after! I HATE THEM! i will NOT be testing until or of AF is late by a WEEK!!! i SWEAR!!! also does DF stand for fiance?

Hi everyone - I haven't posted on this forum for a very long time (but have been in the TTC after miscarriage area for a while). Anyway was looking through other forums and thought this one might be helpful for me too. Not sure if anyone can give advice on the following but this is where I am at today...
very confused. Had a frostie transfer about 10 days ago and had pregnancy test today. They said it was negative - but I do have some pregnancy hormone present - hcg is 21 and progesterone level 96 - so very very slim chance still of a miracle but because lab is closing I cannot have another blood test till monday. Nurse said is is most likely that hcg will fall and I am not pregnant. Apparently hcg level will need to drop to 0 and progesterone of < 5 before I can start my next stimulated cycle. So basically am very confused. Has any else had such low hcg levels and ended up being pregnant? So another five days waiting - it is soooo hard !
Anyway would love any advice. Would also like to wish you all a merry christmas and hoping for lots of BFPs in this thread in the new year:grouphug:

I haven't been posting for a while but have been lurking my first IVF cycle in November was cancelled as I didin't respond to the FSH drugs and only had two follicles. Santa brought AF last night which means I am going for a BT tomorrow and depending on the result may start an antagonist IVF PGD cycle straight away. Feeling a bit in two minds about this, was hoping to use these weeks to relax and recover and only starting in January but don't think I can afford to waste time. Didn't really sleep at all last night pondering this. Now deceided to go for the BT and take it from there.
Sara
Hi,
Hope you all had a great Christmas.
Just wondering if any of you would have some advice for me. My first (downregulated) IVF cycle was cancelled since I had only 2 follicles and was understimulated - Estrogen never went above 51.
I now had my first period after the cycle and went for my BT (CD2) - FSH came back as 9.7 and Estrogen at 44. Earlier in the year when I did BT and Ultrasound for a baseline (non IVF) I had FSH of 7 and Estrogen of 260 on CD2, the ultrasound a few days later showed between 4 and 8 follicles.
I am now wondering if I should start an antagonist cycle with injections tomorrow or wait another cycle to see if the FSH level is any better then, my FS says I should start, the nurse said they're looking for FSH 10 and lower - which basically means that mine with 9.7 is borderline.
On the one hand I don't want to go through a cancelled cycle again on the other hand I can't afford to waste time as I'll be 40 by mid next year.
Would be thankful for any advice
Sara
Hi Sara, not sure if this really helps, but for my first IVF stim cycle I had a base line FSH of 12, and despite fears that I would not stim well went on to get OHSS with over 20 follies and a cancelled cycle on day 8 as my E2 was 22000. My FSH does was 225 for this cycle. It has taken 3 subsequent stim cycles to get my FSH injection dose right, so it ended up I was over stimming and a tendency towards PCOS, which was confusing with the high FSH level of 12. I thought I was a matter of what dose of FSH they gave you to get you stimulated right, so even if you have a higher ish baseline FSH, that may just mean they need to give you a higher does to get the follie numbers right.
What FSH does were you on for your first stim cycle? What are they increasing your does to? Hope you get your answers, hugs
hi girls I hope we all had a good xmas!
i had a nice day, still thought about babies all day though!
sara- hi i have no idea as of yet but i really hope it all goes to plan, please let us know as we are all here for you whatever way things go.
AFM- well im on CD18 today and i feel like im in limbo 10 sleeps until AF shows or doesnt show and im not going to test until a week after if she is late. I have no symptoms except often a dull period pain like ache in the lower left side almost on the top of my thigh, im nervous i may have an ectopic as the pain is quite often and quite persistant. I have no sore nipples which I ALWAYS have from about cd17. but only time will tell, i feel real good about this month as i have said numerous times but deep down im ready for dissapointment as i have for the last 8 cycles since D and C. I did another 2 OPK's yesterday as I was bored one in the morning and one in the evening, they are getting darker again, i dont want to get my hopes up but on peeonastick.com it says they get darker if pregnancy is present as well as ovulation, again time will tell!!!! i think i might cave in and test new years day which will be CD24. HURRY UP!!! hope all have a great new year oh and im counting down until JAN 12!!! i can FINALLY make my FS appointment! oh AND my DF grandfather gave us 600 dollars for xmas so we now ave a grand saved for the inital FS appointment and testing can anyone give me an indication on what tests were done and the cost involved, im with monash but any idea would be great! we still have a few months to save until we get in to see her im sure!

COUNTDOWN TO JAN 12!!!
Hello, I'm new to posting but have been reading whats been going on in here and thought it was my time to write :D. you are ALL very suppportive to one another!
A little about me and DH. ttc for 2 yrs now, 3 cycles of clomid 1 cycle of IUI. All BFN's. the issue is - As the Fs said DH does not have `olympic swimmers' and i dont think my O is very consistant either.
On cd 21 i had a bt as im starting on a down reg iui. the BT confirmed i hadnt O-ed (so you can imagine what DH and I got up to that week!:redface:) On cd 27 bt confirmed i had O-ed and started the Syrenal the next day. Today is CD 36 no A/F as yet FN said i should poas on the 30/12 (if A/f still has not arrived) As I have to start the injections of puregon onthe 31/12. I'm concerned if I still dont get AF and poas is neg what should i do? The clinic is closed until the 5/1. Anyone else have this problem? btw my tummy feels very heavy, is this a good sign or am I still recovering from xmas lunch??
Sorry post is so long!
Have a good night!
Thank you Baby Dreamtime that is encouraging. For my 1st cycle my first puregon dose was 262, then after five days increased to 375 without effect - I used gonal f for that cycle. For the new cycle I am starting on 300 puregon. It sounds alright to me since I am not downregulated this time. It's definitely all pretty confusing. Hoping everything goes alright for you too.
21 thank you for encouragement. I am not sure about costs with Monash as I am with SIVF. I also do PGD which is more expensive. All up we're going to be out of pocket about $4500 per cycle plus at least an extra grnad for medication and appointments but think it's a lot cheaper if you don't go for PGD, perhaps call monash and ask them, sivf has informaiton abot cycle costs on their website.
Toby, can't really help. understand your problem as it's pretty confusing situation. Stupid question but does your clinic have an emergency mobile number that you can calll?
Have a good night everyone.
Sara
Well hi everyone, just a quick one as I need to go to bed as wea are going on holidays in the morning.
Hope everyone had a lovely christmas.
AFM -guess who was a nice christmas present for me? Well AF showed up on christmas morning. So a blood test tomorrow CD3 and injections staer tomorrow night after I get the call. Yeah, we get to start again. This is it for us as AF showed up about a week early and that is very unusual for me. I am sure it is a sign.
Well will be aback in about a week after camping.
