Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey. But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.

As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.

Lets start with some

Deni yay and well done

TL - Your spell sounds beautiful, I hope it has filled you with hope and happiness. Your timeline sounds good, lap not too far off now.

Scooby I hope things go ok, cancellations suck the big one.

Meredith, hope the wait flies by for you with a great end result!

SP - All the best for your 2ww.

Bec - Thinking of you as always, lovely.

Saph, hope the scan went well.

I am all confirmed and ready to go. Clomid 5 days from Thurs, 200iu puregon for 5 days from Friday and scan Wed morning.

What time does everyone take meds and does it matter? I was doing morning, thinking it gave an extra 12 hours for effects to show at scan... but night is more convenient really.

**saph204** · February 26th, 2008, 09:56 AM

Deni that is fantastic news

i bet you feel real clever and so you should.

Well i went for the scan and still no change am very disappointed as the whole trip took three hours to get in there and home again for a big fat zero no lead follicles.

Scooby i feel for you now i am worried that they will cancel my cycle as well.

Any one in perth going through fertility north. I am thinking i might have to change clinics as i cant keep going with three hour trips for scans.

Anyway will keep you posted to what the clinic say now.

to everyone

Hi to all and lots of good luck

I don't know if many of you will remember me, but I began posting late last year when DH and I started our first round of IVF. That cycle was cancelled due to poor response to stims and we were just devastated. I stopped posting because it just seemed easier not to deal with it and I found it hard reading about the BFPs that happened around Xmas. I continued to log-on and keep up to date with everyone's news, but I found I was just too sad to contribute.

Anyway, DH and I started our 2nd IVF cycle last month and this time we made it to EPU. At this stage (Day 4) we have one super good quality morula, and 4 good ones (early stage morulae) and one little slowpoke that they haven't given up on yet. My ET is tomorrow afternoon. Very exciting!

I just wanted to post and say thank you to all of you who post all the time, and how incredibly wonderful you all are for sharing your stories day in day out. I wish I had that courage. Your stories keep me going.

Vicki

Hi everyone
Deni: yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa, go the perth girls, i am so stoked for you, espicially with the horrid time youve had lately you deserve such wonderful news. Well done

Pookiegirl: welcome back, i remember you

i really hope this is the one it all sounds really positive.
Saph: Im at fertility north, thats abit dodododo (sorry suppose to be spooky music)

The nurses there are awesome, so caring and considerate, there has been a few minor issues but i guess you get that everywhere you go. I see jay natalwala, he is good very direct and abit scattered sometimes (hard to understand) but at the same time very caring. Ive only had 3XO.I. and this is my 3rd IUI (got BFP first one but lost due to ectopic) so i dont know what they are like for IVF. But i would recommend them and i dont think id look to go anywhere else, really the nursing staff make the place, they are such wonderful ladies.
BB: good luck BB, its so exciting .........in the beginning

My clinic said meds at night but that is just so they can alter the dose that day if its nescessary, other than that i dont think it matters
Hi to everyone else and thanks for all the +ive comments, still doing the big watitng game, which seems to be what AC is all about. Bloods came back at 500 (E2) yesterday so had to go for more today. Funny thing is the big follies were on the left but my right side is soooo sore and its radiating down my leg, she said my right ovary was hiding behind my uterus so im wondering if thats whats causing it.
Anyone else get this its like quite bad period pain, what am i going to be like if i have IVF

and i have 10 follies instead of 4.
well have a good day and woooooohooooo again Deni so excited for you. have a happy and healthy pregnancy!!!!!

**Peta** · February 26th, 2008, 12:50 PM

Hi All
DENI - CONGRATULATIONS!!!

How brilliant. It gives us all hope to hear that someone in your situation has achieved a BFP. Here's wishing you a very happy & healthy 9 months.
TL - glad to hear you have the go ahead for Lap.
Pookie - I remember you & wish you all the best for ET tommorrow. I hope you have been taking care & am pleased that you popped back to update us.
Saph - such a big trip to the clinic must make things harder to deal with. Luckily we are only 10mins from our FS. I would hate that long drive home after some of the appointments I have had.
Me - just found out that the clinic has moved my scan back to 06.03.08. Am really p**sed off as I had physched myself up to start again tommorrow. However they assure me that even with all of my "isms" I will still be right for EPU on 25.03.08. I am not so sure, but anyway, what can I do I guess.
A big hi to everyone I missed. Take care & I will speak to you all soon.

**tiggerlinda** · February 26th, 2008, 01:04 PM

Peta - just a little more time to get ready and then your off.

Vickki - Great to have you back heres hoping round 2 gives you the results you are dreaming of

**dellydoo** · February 26th, 2008, 01:20 PM

Vicki - best of luck tomorrow sugar the stickiest of

Peta - Waiting sucks - how can people possible expect us to be patient on top of everything else!

TL - best of luck with the LAP - Great vibes for 08.

I have to POAS tomorrow after 9dpt FET in Natural cycle. Will see!

Well hi

The nurse call not cancelling cycle just slow rise in E2 levels but still climbing.have a scan and bt next tues the 4th so we will see what happens.

Scooby thanks for the feed back. I am at hollywood but live five minutes from fertilty north. I went to hollywood because that is were the ob who delivered my son works, but i havent seen him since before christmas so what is the point in the three hour trips. It's only because of the traffic. I have been having cramps in my ovaries and i dont have any eggs so it could be.

Also asked the nurse about my moods ( The murder and then cry about it transformation) she said it is the drugs. She mentioned something from the chemist call trauma and something ( I as at playgroup and now i have forgotten what it was) it is a herbal supliment to help with the moods. Does anyone know what it is? I need help!

**plc1805** · February 26th, 2008, 08:53 PM

Hi there - have been lurking but not posted - just had to time-out a little and now I'm back ....

Deni - congrats hun!! Well done!

SP - thx for words of encouragement. GL over TWW - it goes quick with a BFP at the end of the rainbow!!

mon - how are u doin?

saph - hope u get a better option than a 3 hr drive each way - can't help you with ur herbal stimulant I'm afraid. Keep strong!! easy for me to say I know

GL

TL - Great to hear ur all systems go from next month onwards!! and what a beautiful spell!! Ur welcome to pm a link but I think u might need to wait til I'm a plat memb (is that how it works?) as I still have a few days of my free intro to use up (just putting off the inevitable m'ship upgrade

) wishin u well hun!

Peta - how u doin? sorry about the delay from the clinic when every day passes so slowly

I try to think it's a little bit of devine intervention on these occasions - happens for a reason so to speak. stay strong! btw, i have to admit that I did go thru a few days of up & down after the lap and thought of u when u said "3 days of recovery" and realised my day-after perkiness might have been a little premature

meredith - well done on ur prog levels but sorry u had the cramping - hope they've subsided at least. GL with TWW - have the fingers on one hand crossed for you while the other hand throws babydust ur way

scooby - so sorry you've had a frustrating time of it with associated physical pain. keep strong, hun, gotta be a time soon when this will be all worth it

minniemouse - hey lovely lulu - thx for visiting!!

BecD - so so sorry that there has been a lot of personal crap lately - hoping things turn around in that respect

hope the counselling session went ok for u & DH!!

BB - go girl!! wishing u only the best possible chance!!!

vicki - take care hun and all the best!!

dellydoo - GL - positively throwing that

at you

Hi to anyone I may have missed - time for some more

in here!!

**tiggerlinda** · February 27th, 2008, 08:20 AM

Saph - Thats good

PCL - Let me know when you are ready

Hi to all today

**dellydoo** · February 27th, 2008, 08:37 AM

Hi All - BFN today from POAS so a bit down - no AF yet but I am sure she is lurking. Thanks for all the positive wonderful support. Back to the drawing board!
A

**plc1805** · February 27th, 2008, 09:04 AM

dellydoo - i don't understand how u can get a BFN when I am "positively throwing that

at you"? it aint over til it's over right?

**dellydoo** · February 27th, 2008, 09:36 AM

plc - you are right, AF has not won the day yet!

**scooby** · February 27th, 2008, 10:09 AM

Hi girls
Hows everyone going, well BT showed E2 @ 450 weird but they said it can fluctuate so more bloods and scan tomorrow, so

Had some great news by BF told me she got BFP with a POAS i gave her, so so excited it really cheered me up.
DD: it isnt over til its over hang in there and dont trust the evil POAS
PLc: thanks for the support, how are you going?
SP: hows the TWW treating you?
Saph: this is the thing you see the FS so infrequently, i reckon the nurses do all the work, the traffic in perth is so much worse than it use to be! Hopefully this cycle will be the one and you wont have to worry about moving. I think the stuff your looking for is Bach flower remedies, there is one called rescue remedy, it is a little gem, i used it when i delivered jake and my BF used it on her wedding day, i always have some in my handbag. It is horrid when your like that, because even though you know you are doing it you cant control it. I havent had those symptoms with the puregon, but man i was a witch on clomid

Peta: how you going today, it must be something to do with the full moon or something, because this time last cycle i was already in my TWW and this month it looks like it may be mon or tues before they do the IUI, and my friend that just got BFP was really late Oing this cycle (temping) and thought shed missed it AND another friend whos having IUI was treated on day 20, so who knows its just very bizzare.
TL and PG how are you going?
Have a good day everyone and lots of

**Peta** · February 27th, 2008, 06:58 PM

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for all of your kind words after my crankiness yesterday. I have settled down now and realised I wasn't so mad at not starting till next week, more that I was organised for today. Oh well. As you said Plc, everything happens for a reason & I am definitely a believer in that one!
DD - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you, it really isn't over yet.

Plc - I am glad that you are feeling better now after your lap. It annoyed me so much not being able to do anything at that time as I am one of those people who cannot sit still for 2 mins!
Saph - I hope your cycle continues progressing the right way. Grow little ones grow!
BB - good luck with starting meds tommorrow. I always take what I can first up in the morning after my shower. Its just easier for me, then its out of the way for the day. The only time this varies is if I have pessaries and have to take them at specified times throughout the day.
Scooby - how are you doing? Are you still getting pains? I have been getting slight pains for the last week or so - I think it is because I have been on the pill for so many weeks now. Oh well, hopefully they vanish when we start the cycle next week.
Salt & Vicki - how are you both? Taking care of yourselves I hope.
TL - not long to go now - 18th I think from memory (I may have this wrong, my memory is like a seive these days!).
Well everyone take care & here's hoping we all continue in a postive manner.
