Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - Feb 2007 #3

Shannon, crinone gave me cramping as well. I've only been on it once, but the most obvious symptoms for me were cramping and moody. I was so emotional on it, I couldn't wait to finish. I didn't have to start until after transfer though.

Hi Ladies

Just wanted to say a huge thankyou! I was very stressed.. i really appreciate everyone who let me know they had similar symptoms... I can handle the pain if i know it wont affect transfer or the chances of it taking.. and well it means DH cooks more!

Hmm i dont know why the FS has me on Crinone so early i had pick up on wed.. started crinone on Thurs and transfer is tomorrow?

Melbel good luck with your transfer tomorrow arvo too i will have my fingers crossed for you! And i completely understand the wind thing DH is so proud! I thought it was another side affect of the Crinone.. but ive definately noticed!

Shannon, I guess it's just that different clinics have different protocols.

I'll be starting crinone on the night of collection, and transfer will be day 5 assuming we get to blast stage.

Summer, sorry for worrying you - just having lots of troubles with energy levels and arthritis flares. I've been reading and keeping up, just not up to much typing/talking.

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately it was a BFN...Kim experienced every pregnancy symptom and we waited to 12dpo and got negative HPT's until day 14 when she got AF... was probably more to do with the trigger injection as the PG symptoms started to lessen as time went by... she had a little bit of a cry that night and as soon as she stopped crying she said ok bring on the clomid - i'm goin again!! Shes a trooper!! So Kim is now on CD 5 and taking the Clomid again days 2 - 6 and she is on 50mgs still. We got 5 more vials of our donor sperm sent to our FS so thats good news!! Guess all we can do is try try again! Hope everyone else is doing well!!

Hi Ladies!!!

Shannon - I have started crinone straight after EPU every cycle... I think every clinic has a different way, but also think this is very common for blast transfers???

Two Mums - Hugs to both you & Kim, you guys have a fantastic attitude staying so positive!!! xxx

Not much happening here....
I'm about to start a few months of testing my inner strength - we have so many people we know about to give birth in the next 3 months.
My ex hubby and his 2nd wife are due any time now with their first baby.... this one is going to be incredibly hard for me as they are giving Luke his first sibling... something I am yet to do.
DH tells me not to worry as its not a competition, but it is just heart wrenching none the less.
Ex hubby rang last night to speak to Luke (my son) and wanted to have a chat with me afterwards (we are still on good terms) - It was so hard to have to ask how everything was going & listen to how excited he is.... and be happy for them too!!
Of course I am , but it hurts like hell....:boohoo:
ANYWAY!!!
They will start things off, so here we go... about 8 babies on their way between now & June... fantastic!!!!

My SIL also called during the week to let us know she is 3 months pregnant with her second baby..... her first baby is only 8 months old!!!!
She has just spent 2 weeks in a 'special centre' to help her with the baby as she wasn't coping.... they have just put baby into a sleeping & feeding pattern for her & given him back all in routine... whilst she spent 2 weeks 'relaxing'.....
This baby was planned too.... they fell straight away.... this ones a little tough to deal with too!!!
Had my cry last week though, so I'm fine now.... have to stay strong for the coming months though!!!

Hi to everyone else out there... hoping you guys are all doing great!!!

Talk soon,
Holly xxx

We have a new exciting section for TTC Journals here guys! Enjoy!!

Hi Girls,
TwoMums, I'm so sorry for you both. God it is a hard road isn't it? I'm glad Kim is up for it again so soon though, something to look forward to for you. Hugs.
Holly, Big hug for you love. It sure will be a test for you over the coming months wont it? I have trouble with only a couple of babies arriving around me but you really are in for it!! Sending you lots of emotional strength to help especially with Luke and the new bub.
Mel, best of luck for today. Very exciting for you!! I really and truely hope all goes well for this one.
Shannon, I hope you start feeling better soon! Bugger about all the cramping.
Hi to all.

HI All

Twomums - so sorry to hear your news - sounds like both you and Kim are strong and getting straight back into it - good luck

Holly - i can completely sympathise with the string of babies being born - a friend gave birth to a little boy yesterday - he was baby number 11 in our circle of frineds/family since mid december - it's hard isn't it? i'm still struggling to go and visit my friends with their new little bubbas, cos it hurts, but i'm getting there eventually

BW - sorry you're struggling at the moment. i know how you feel with the stress of things not going right - i hope things start to get better soon for you sweetie

to everyone else, a huge cyber hug - would do more personals, but am struggling to keep up with everyone - have to do a bit of reading and catch myself up again. have a good day!!

Hi Ladies

TwoMums - Sorry to hear about the BFN - great to see how well you pick yourselves up and get ready for battle again! Very inspiring!

HollyBolly - Don't feel guilty about having to take the time for yourself before you can give to your friends increasing the population left, right and centre. Its only natural!

Melbel - Hope your transfer went well this afternoon. :)

Well we are officially in the TWW, we had transfer at 1215 today and it was quite emotional actually they gave us a picture of the blastocyst and its a very weird feeling to know there is something in there! We ended up with 3 great blastocysts so they froze 2 and tranferred the other one.. and now the waiting begins!

Cheers

shannon - sending you lots and lots of sticky vibes - good luck with the TWW
