Murraycod, it is frustrating, when you go through all the jabs not to put the egg back, but the main thing is my health and safety. No point me having issues then so will the baby if we get the BFP.
I think you have to try and be excited. It is hard, and probably the worst bit is the emotions at the end of each cycle - either a BFP or a BFN. But you have to be hopeful that the BFP will appear.
Spring, welcome back, and good luck with your FET!
Juniper - Why your sleep patterns messed up? Hopefully you can have a relaxing day
AFM, I need to call the embryologist to see if there were any additional embryo's frozen, and speak to the FS to see if I still need to be eating egg whites - 8 a day seems a bit excessive - and gets very boring, cos after you have 3 for breakfast and for lunch - you are too full to eat anything else
I haven't posted since Christmas and am really happy to have read most of the posts today. Most of you seem to have started the new year in an optomistic way which is great. I hope that the New Year gives us all the BFP very quickly. Sorry for no personals but I'm still also trying to catch up at work.
AFM have had a very indulging time and am now back on track. Have hit the gym in a big way and started back with my personl trainer as we wont be having another FET till at least March i thought I'd give my body every fighting chance to get fit. We will be trying naturally bewteen now and our next cycle (you just never know given that we have unxplained) I also start back with my acupuncture this week
juniper76 - I hope ur sleeping pattern becomes well adjusted soon. I always have trouble getting to sleep before midnight all year round. I just can't do it!
babytruj - 8 egg whites a day? Wow! How long have u been doing that for? I don't think I'd cope!
Hey, here is a random question for you all. I recently bought this mad home laser hair removal system. It's awesome, but i'm worried about the affects of the laser light on my bikini area. The user guide says not to use it whilst pregnant, which I won't. But do u think it affects your reproductive organs if your TTC?
Thank you ladies for all your helpful information, it is greatly appreciated.
Murraycod; These injection that we have to do are terrible. I pray to God that you never end up on Clexane, they really hurt and the bruising, lets just say I have a bruise that’s bigger then a golf ball on my tummy and that’s from just one injection
Babytrui; really sorry about the OHSS. Its really annoying that you have to wait that long. What does all the egg whites do for you ????
Murraycod; it is true about IVF being the most stressful time of your life, but I found the ladies on here a God send.
Spring: All the best for your FET 22/23 January.
Terry: All the best for your FET in March
Juniper76: Wow your body clock is definitely out of whack.
Re: There's a great website for hormone levels, but its a US website and they use different units, so you have to convert the numbers (I have another website I know for that). I can post the links if you want,
I would love if you could post the links regarding Hormone levels. Much appreciated.
AFM: I went for another Progesterone Blood test today, I am 11 days after ovulation and P4 level is 61 so that's a good sign its going up .
I have watched my sister go through IVF for 6 years now and nothing to show for it. She has been anywhere from 4 weeks pregnant up to 10 weeks and lost it.
If it wasn’t for my endless search of the Belly Belly forums over the last 8 months and the wonderful ladies who put all this information on here, I worked out what might be my sister’s problem.
I got my sister to do the NK cell test back in Aug 2009 and now after all these years she now has an answer to her problem – NK Cell Antibodies.
Please ladies go and get tested for it, its just a blood test. You can also do the test when your doing a cycle which is great.
Just one thing to remember make sure your 100% healthy when you do the test.
(You can’t have the flu or anything else. Make sure your not on antibiotics when doing the test, cause it can affect the results, as I have found out and have to redo the test)
I know they do it at St George Public Hospital at Kogarah Sydney NSW.
The test you need to ask for is: Flow Cytometry for NK Cells.
If I can save just one lady from the heart ache that my sister has been through - it has been worth it.
Hi Spring - I do not have any personal experience with the laser treatment you are talking about, but I would think that if it may be harmful to a developing baby then it may also be harmful to developing follicles - they're all growing and you don't want to inhibit cell growth during a cycle. Like I said, I don't really know, but that would be my logic. Good luck!
Emstar - Looks like we part ways with out cycling this month We're not doing a frozen transfer until Feb. GL babe!
Babytruj - You have been through the wringer on your first cycle, hun. I've never had OHS but I have heard it is very, very painful. Rest sounds best and it's great you're so upbeat and positive. I've never been told to take egg whites, let alone 8 per day! I have heard protein is good for egg quality, but surely seeing as how the EPU is over you wouldn't need to keep taking them ...
Danyelle, Thanks for the reminder about NK test. I am getting tested for that soon, as well as about 11 other tests for autoimmune/implantation issues. I just need to summon up enough courage first, because they have to take 12 vials of blood! Yuck.
Hi Terry! Good to see you're back. We're doing similar things this year, your cycle in March; we're cycling in Feb/March and trying to get fit before then. GL to you!
Murraycod, acupuncture was fine. I had a couple of places where it stung for about 2 minutes, and found out one was the kidney point and the other was the stress point. She had told me before treatment that I would probably have issues with my kidneys due to underactive thyroid which can make the body cold, and might have to give me some herbs before my next transfer to give me some "heat". The detox is going to be yuck and very expensive. There are three stages to it, and each stage you need to buy different pills/powder. Aaaaagh! I will definitely have some fizz for you - as well as some red and some white
We're not doing a frozen transfer until Feb. GL babe!
