emerald shar peis are rolly dogs, the ones with all the wrinkles.took her to the vet this afternoon to have progesterone blood test to see where she was at,when their levels are low they are ready to give birth within 12 hours roughly.took her to vet just after 2 this afternoon around 230 when getting ready to leave after test she stood up i noticed she was dripping,called vet nurse back out and by then had a string of mucus across to leg.bought her home she was panting some.results from bt came back just after 4 her progesterone level was 17.9 and vet said shes ready to go.shes had a warm bath,belly rubs and walk around block and other than occasional panting nothing yet though she is breathing slightly faster at the moment.if nothing happens by morning she will probably need an oxtocin injection. I am supposed to see FS at 650 in morning for scan etc to start fsh injections but whether i am going to be able to make it depends on our little mama. i feel little paws pressing against my hand when i rub her belly,sooooo cute

Mrs P - Posted to you in another forum but WELL DONE! Woo hoo!
Trubabe - How exciting for your puppy to be having pups. Will they be totally covered in excess skin as puppies, or is it only when they're older that they produce the excess skin?
-
Bronsie - I used Sharkeys herbs for about 10 months and they really helped to regulate my cycle. My natural cycle is anywhere from 19 to 32 days, so it is really hard to pick Ov etc. I also charted my temperature for 12 months which helped with Ov (although you're always a day behind when you chart) but the herbs were great. Before I started the herbs I had a short cycle then a long ccycle then a short cycle...with the short cycles the egg doesn't have time to mature before Ov, so my chances of pg were pretty slim. On the herbs I had a regular 28 day cycle. Ov was on day 13 or 14... it was like clockwork. I ordered all herbs on their online ordering system - you don't have to go to Queensland. You answer a questionnaire and then they analyse it and put together a formula specially for you. I thought it was good...in the end though, it didn't help me with a BFP as i had endo and decided to go IVF. Hope that helps.

Hi Ladies, Thought that I would sneak in over here seeing as I'm not in 2ww anymore...another :bfn: for us. Horrible AF arrived Sunday night. One more frozen bub left so I've decided just to launch straight into it and start Clomid today so hopefully transfer will be early Jan.
Mrs P- I am so happy for you, that is fantastic news. Take care of yourself and try not to stress too much :D

Hi ladies, im also skulking over from the 2WW thread. I was having my repeat test this morning from a HCG reading of 10. AF arrived last night so now the test is just a cruel formality.
It was my first ET, and i was never told a 'bio chemical pg' was a possibility, i read on the net that there is a higher risk of it happening in PGD cases. Why did our FS not tell us that, to prepare us just incase.
I thought i would feel better once i got my period. When we had our first cycle and had no ET, when AF arrived i felt my sanity return to my head. But this time i just feel grief, i feel like ive lost something i never had. And to make things worse the blabbermouth embreologist had told me the sex of the embie just before the ET. (we can legaly know due to the PGD as i carry a sex linked disease)
Ive aslo noticed on here that ppl who have bio chem's have them repeatedly. So im really scared. Will go for our FET after the silly season. Im scared also that it wont thaw. Not sure whats involed in organising a FET, my FS hasnt even rang me.
Oh well im off for my nasty little BT.
XX
Bj- sorry it didnt work out for you either.
congrats to MrsP

Jaki hun I'm so sorry, I know how hard it can be having to go for the 'formal' BT when already have AF. Sorry it didn't work out for you this time, and please dton't stress yourself about multiple chem pg, it's tough on you just one month as it is. Take one cycle at a time babe I know you have the strength to do it.
Best wishes for a new year healthy PG XXXXXX
Bj sorry AF showed hun X I hope that the new year sprinkles some babydust your way too X
MrsP congratulations darling, hope that you enjoy a H+H pregnancy X
I'd love to do more persies, but I'm just trying to get into the swing of things here and remember who everybody is! I'll have to sit down thisavo and have a bit more of a read!
Just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone, DH and I start our first cycle of IVF this month just in time for the medicare 2009, but I'm waiting for AF to show. The longest natural cycle I've had is 34 days and the longest IUI cycle was 35 days, so not quite sure what my body is up to right now but I'm becoming very impatient. First time in over 4 yrs I'm praying AF would hurry up and she wont come!
Anyways goodluck to all those in the TWW, best wishes to all those testing in the next couple days, take care XXXXXXXXXXXXx
PuppyDust for Trubabes little girl X! (hope you make it to your scan)
-
trubabe, I hope you're surrounding by tiny puppies by now! I also hope you made it to your scan/etc to get your own pg started!
Jaki, I'm so sorry you had to lose your little emby. I had my first chem pg in September and all I can say is take the time to grieve. It's a loss, no matter how early. :hug: I share the same fear as you of having another one, but many women go on to have a healthy pg and there's no reason to expect otherwise.
Hi to everyone else! I may not say a lot, but I'm cheering you on from the sidelines! :bluedust::pink-babydust:
Afm, we had our scan this morning. I was a little surprised, to be honest. In the past I've needed 12 days of puregon before EPU. So, today being day 8 of stims, I'd expect to be around the size where it's time to start the orgalutran (~12mm). Imagine my surprised when my follies were between 16-21mm!!
:jawdrop:
So, of course, now I'm ever-so-slightly freaking out and worrying that my LH levels have already started to surge. I'm supposed to start the orgalutran tonight (any suggestions on what time? my FS didn't say) and go back on Friday. Which brings me to concern #2 - my FS still wants to do the EPU on Monday and I'm worried I'll end up with over-mature eggs.
Anyway, I'm not sure if it was the change in protocol (no suppression before FSH) or the acupuncture, but I'm responding a lot more quickly and we saw 7 decent sized follies, with possibly a few more hiding on my "hard-to-find-because-its-hiding-behind-my-uterus" left ovary. I'm just praying that we get to EPU and collect enough good eggs to do a blastocyst transfer! :pray:

Morning Ladies
Jaki80 don't feel bad no matter how prepared we think we are for the BFN it always hurts when it's confirmed. My acupunturist said that's its better to let it all out rather than carry it around bottled up cause the stress etc isn't good for your body so if you feel bad or want to cry just go ahead we have all felt the same and the pain never gets easier we just become more resilient.
Murraycod there is nothing worse than waiting for AF to arrive I too went through that last month. When we are having a cycle we pray it doesn't come when we want to start a cycle we pray it hurrys up it's a no win situation..hang in there you'll be on your way soon
Mrs P congratulations so glad that we have our first positive for the month may the trand continue.
AFM I've got 3 months off but we will conitnue to try naturally...I'm hoping with unexplained infetility that maybe it can just happen
-
hi ladies, yes i did make it to my scan.so far i have 2 8.2mm follies at cd9.i start fsh injections today and see FS saturday at 620am and hopefully we get the nod to do iui monday.
As for our furry little mama still no puppies yet took her back to the vet and spoke to different vet to yesterday afternoon.her progesterone was 17.9 and turns out it needs to be ten or lower for her to go into labour.they said it may drop to that by later today but didnt do another blood test.so no oxitocin for her yet.if nothing has happened by tomorrow morning maybe another prog blood test and the oxi.

Trubabe – How cute to have shar pei puppies. Gorgeous! Hope you got to your scan ok!!
Bj*81 sorry to hear BFN. GL for next transfer
Jacki80. What is PGD? I’m sorry that AF arrived... and that you lost your emby. It’s always a horrible thing when you are trying so hard. Think positive for the next cycle. Your baby is waiting for you...I am starting my first IVF cycle, and I guess you just have to be positive that a BFP will be there at the end waiting for you...
Mrs P CONRATULATIONS, and don’t stress out!
Murraycod – good luck. I am also starting my first IVF.
Juniper76 Good Luck with a blastocyst transfer.
Afm, I started Lucrin injections yesterday, which are a little painful, and I had a little rash today just after I injected, but it went away after a couple of hours. It’s very exciting to finally be on the road to IVF. Got to find an acupuncturist (we’ve moved and the old one I went to is too far away now) AF should arrive on Saturday, and then Blood Test on Day 2, and then start FSH injections...
-
Hi babytruj,
PGD is Preimplantation genetic diagnosis. They wait until the embie is a hatching blastie and take some cells from what will become the placenta, then test it for a disease i carrie. It makes IVF quite difficult, as you end up with alot less usable embies, if any.
Good luck with your cycle hun.
xx

Mrs P congratulations that is fantastic up-lifting news. I am very happy for you and it is great to see another success on the board.
Juniper - good to see you round and they do seem like good results. Seems like so long til EPU considering your sizes but FS knows what he is doing I am sure! If you are not feeling so pos about it maybe just ask for another scan say Thursday? Tho I think you said you were back there Friday - I am sure all is OK.
Loops - GL in your natural 2ww. How is your tractor selling going?
Terry - I didn't ride your cycle with you but my sympathy to you all the same. A lot of here know what it is like and I think you definately need to let yourself express how you feel for those first few days. Be kind to yourself and then take the positive and feel good about being able to drink & eat soft cheese once again!
Jaki - sorry to hear about your results too. Sounds like you have a few extra hurdles so Ihope next time is the time for you hun.
To all others - hiand hope you are all well.
AFM - counting down the days to BT - sort of! Actually trying not to think about it too much! Think I will be counting the sleeps to go when there is only 1 week left to go!
Nite ladies :-)
-
our furgrandbabies still arent here yet :( another vet trip yesterday arvo.progesterone was down to 12.3 i think so vet said she is close plus she was dilating.hoping they will be here today/tonight but no contractions yet.
-
Trubabe, was thinking of your dog last night wondering how it was, hope she has her healthy pups soon! Do you have any idea how many she is having?? I think it's great! Your TWW is giong to fly because you will have those little guys to keep your mind buisy!
Dunno why but I have never made it the TWW without POAS! I don't have any self controll when it comes to the end of a cycle! But I have promised myself to wait until BT with the IVF, cuz I did get quite a few fake positives the first 2 IUI's as Pregnyl was still in my system 7DP 1500iu.
Nix76 sending you strength to last the last week babe X First week is the hardest and you have past that, on the downward slope now X
Babytruj sounds like we are first timers together! So excited and scared at the same time! After all of the dissapointment of IUI's, I really have my hopes high with this.
Those lucerin inj sound a bit stingy to me..do you give them yourself or does DH do yours?
Juniper sorry I'm not much help ATM with things, am still learning all of the IVF jargon and not familiar with the meds yet X
Your follies have had one HUGE growth spurt though good going! Is it the same as IUI? Do they like them to be b/w 19-25+ ??
Good luck and I will be thinking of you on Monday XXX
(youll have to tell me what the egg pick up is like, I'm asking everyone cuz I think that is my only scary nervouse bit!)
Take care everyone, and Hi to people I havn't met in here yet XX
-
not sure how many, i reckon maybe 2-4 but some shar peis have up to 9 in their first litter.nothing happening yet.if no contractions in next couple hours i have to ring vet again.im exhausted lol
-
Trubabe - at least she is keeping you busy and your mind away from ttc!! All the vet visits sound expensive:)
murraycod - Good luck with your IVF. Are you getting Lucrin injections too? I am so unfamiliar with everything, and have asked the doc for a calendar, but I think certain things have to happen before next stages... I am giving the inj myself - my DH is too scared of hurting me, and it is better to do it myself, I don't hate him then for hurting me:)
-
murraycod, I did my first EPU in Nov 08. I still remember how terrified I was. It was my first ever general anaesthetic... At the time we were in the process of finally getting some life insurance and I was so scared that I made sure I had that signed and finalised prior to the EPU. And in the end, it was the easiest part of the whole process! I walked into the room, lay on the bed, had the IV inserted and woke up in recovery feeling more rested than I had in weeks! I had some mild cramping after, but no bleeding. (I had some bleeding for IVF#2, but then none again for #3.) I'm actually looking forward to it this time - two days off work - bliss!!
