I so completely know what you mean there, Kim. As devestating as it was yesterday to find my cycle cancelled yesterday, I am feeling comfortable with the decision now, and relieved that it was so close to the beginning of things. Not that they talked about it in those terms, but giving me a trigger shot and telling me that I can expect another period soon really tells me that we are starting a new cycle, not just pushing this one back. I'm sure the medications are messing with your emotions, as well as having to deal with the whole emotional aspect of finding yourself doing IVF. I hope everything seems better in the morning and you get some answers from the doctor. And hopefully an apology for them not getting back to you when they said they would.
I'm sorry too Loula. It is just so difficult. I can't wait till we're all pg and happy!!! Big hugs to you.
TwoMums - I hope it's implanting!!! Fingers crossed, only 7 days to go....
Kim - I hope you get some words of wisdom from your dr today. I'm sure everything will be fine!
to everyone else.
Well AF arrived today for me so I guess that means we're going ahead with IVF... I was still holding hope (just a little) that I might have fallen pg the last cycle before IVF, but no such luck. Oh well. I feel pretty sh*tty too - tired and irritable. To be expected I guess.
Well my DH got back he's 3rd Tunnel assay test (DNA Fragmentation test).
For those of you who don't know the 1st was done at a different FS and he got a glowing 12.5% which puts him in a HIGH fertility potentional. Then we went to a new FS and he did the test again and he got an appaliing 36% which puts him in a very bad fertility potential. Then we demanded another test because of the huge descrepinacy and it came back at 22% which still isnt great but its OK! Half way I guess. So im still a little concerned but also I feel a little better that its not so bad! Has anybody elses DH had this test done?
Dr called and she thinks I might be spotting due to the internal scan, as she asked me whether my DH and I were doing the deed (no) and she feels that the scan could have done the same thing! Its quite normal she said but she's going to look at my scan next week to see if the follies are growing like they should! I know that my follies do grow as Ive had two IUI's and they grew perfectly for that! So heres hoping!!!!!!!
Thanks for all your support! I really need it as Ive told noone Im going through this! Except my mum of course!
Kim - I don't know anything about the DNA test, sorry. That's good news from the Dr. Try not to worry and just visualise what should be happening in your body! I'm sure all will be fine at next week's scan.
That's what we're all here for - support! Glad to be of some help. I actually told 2 people yesterday - one friend who's been through IVF and so I feel very comfortable talking to and also a friend at work. The friend at work is pretty understanding, she's also ttc. Didn't talk about it much, just told them. I feel like I should tell my Mum but not sure when I'll get a chance...
just wanted to say that no one expects for you to do personals to anyone. Many threads tend to end up having people who just lurk coz they're too scared to post in case they forget to post a personal message to someone. This has never been an issue before in the LT threads, but unfortunately there are now so many of us that have found our way here that it's busier than it's ever been.
I've always been really bad at personals, so I post mainly if I have something helpful to contribute. I hope none of you think I'm ignoring you if everything is going well with you! Lol!
Mainly I come on to read about where everyone's at, and also to tell everyone where I'm at, if its applicable. I do this in all the threads I contribute to.
So don't worry if it's just short and sweet and just telling us what you're up to!
HI all - we really are are busy bunch lately! it seems to be that this thread is expanding a heap - it's sad that we're all going through such a difficult time TTC, but at least we're all here to support each other through it all
BW - i so hope you're lucky enough to catch that stray little egg - and if nothing else, at least have fun trying!
Shaz - so sorry about your BFN - there's no one on here that will tell you it's time to give up - we'll be here to support you for as long as you need us
TwoMums - have fingers and toes crossed for a BFP for you
Mel - good luck for this weekend - i hope you have a fabulous day - ejoy every second of it and don't let anything ruin your day! you can worry about the little things next week - for this weekend, it's all about you - and i really hope you enjoy your special day!
as for me - well, ttc on hold for the next month or so i think. Dental op is in a couple of weeks, so feeling more than a little stressed about it. have been struggling for a while to deal with everything (TTC, dental stuff, privacy issues at work, family issues) and pretty much fell apart yesterday. decided that, after months of knowing somthing didn't feel right but being too scared to admit it, that i'd seek some help, so going to get some counselling to see if i can get my head back in the right space - i'm just sick of being on the brink of tears all the time. i know i'm still early in the TTC journey, and things are likely to get harder before they get easier - so i really want to deal with the "other" emotional issues before we go any further on this path - otherwise, it's highly unlikely i'd cope. it was a massive deal for me yesterday admitting that i had a problem - but simply taking that step has made me feel as if a pretty big weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

: OMG - typed BFN instead of BFP - i'm soooooooo sorry 2 mum's!!!
I think Sushee made a very valid point as in here is really busy at the moment, and agree too with BG that we are all a friendly lot. Just goes to show that having a baby isnt as easy as what people are lead to beleive.
DH has booked himself in for next week for u/s and his "sperm anaysis" he was whinging about the cost, going do you know what I could probably get for that, I wont write it on the forum though ROFL cheeky bugger. We have had our ups and downs, hes been very moody and we had this huge argument about something non related to treatment but it fact it does as it justs cost us money we wernt planning on. So it was his fault and then turns around and says hes cancelling all the tests. With steam billowing out my ears its hard to remain calm and know this reaction is only because hes scared and worried. Although I didnt explode, maybe the Metformin for me is calming!!!teehee. I have no idea. AF hasnt arrived, dont even know what cycle day im on, what a change that makes. I had some cramping but think its just the tablets. We are just in the waiting for these results to give us a heads up of where to go next.
I dont know how many people beleive in "readings" or any spirital readings of any sort but during this TTC stress, Ive had 2 just to see what it was like. One predicted a boy in my life but not soon, well this was a fair while ago. The other predicted a boy in may would be in my life- i put this down to having a friends christening at this time and they are coming over here for it. But she has a girl. Its those little glimmers of hope no matter how irrational at other times that keep me going some days.
It's been a long day here, so I'm mainly just popping in to say hello.
Feel kinda like I'm back in limbo - not actually doing anything related to IVF, but thankfully not on the pill this time either!
Anyone know how long after a trigger shot I can expect to ovulate? I guess that would decide whether I'm in my TWW or not. I guess this is really only my second TWW ever - just hoping for a longer luteal phase than last time (8 days).
Hi everyone, just popping in to let you know that i had my first u/sound today and all went well. Didn't see a heart beat just yet but my FS isn't concerned about that because it's still so early. Everything else looked good. I'm just taking it one day at a time for now.
I guess with it being so busy in here it's probably a good time for me to move on. I will still come in and check on you all and offer support wherever I can. I wish you ALL the best of luck and hope to see you ALL graduate out of here really soon.
I cannot thank you all enough for the support you've given me
I will miss you, Willow. But I'm very, very happy that you are graduating from here. I'm wishing you the safest, happiest pregnancy ever. Hopefully I won't be too far behind you.
Hi B.W….. I wish you all the best for the TWW. I am on Day 9 post ovulation. I too had the trigger shot so I am curious what your symptoms and experience with it will be…..call me stalker…. Anyways, I did the shot on Tuesday and believe to have ovulated sometimes Thursday morning as I was in excruciating pain. So many days later I am still experiencing cramping and pulling. I also get a bit of nausea from the shot. Let me know how you go….
BW, praying that you catch that eggie. You never know, I'm convinced God has a sense of humour - the month we were successful was about the least likely with the timing of the BD and all - we really thought we had no chance.
I reckon you might be lucky this month BW...murphy's law and all that....
Have just got back from my first scan and we have approx 8 follies on each ovary ranging from 10 to 14 mm which he said was great for dates. So I now have another scan Tuesday morning and if all is well a trigger on Weds night and EPU Friday...it is getting so close now...YIKES!!
to everyone else.
