[sandiandandrew]

Hello everyone,
Just letting you all know I got a BFN today.
Oh well I had my cries and all that stuff but now I'm just gald that I can do i8t all again in April, We still have 3 frozen embies so hopefully I can get one to implant.
I have a 21 day app booked with my gyno/ FS on the 28th of march so looking fowrad to that and with this one at least I now know what other things I can do to maybe help the embie stick.
I will abide by every rule and more for the next one!!
Practice make perfect right
Anyway I will keep posting and seeing how you all are doing thanks for being there for my first ever cycle.

Hi everyone

Sandi - I am so sorry - I have been patiently waiting for the last hour or so to find our your BT result - keep your chin up and best of luck for your next appt on the
28th

Bel - glad to hear that your levels have gone down enough for you to start on another cycle - stay positive and I wish for the best thawed embies for you

Me - just another day waiting and relaxing in the TWW - I still have 11 days to go

[*Paula*]

So sorry to hear about your news Sandi. Best of luck with your next cycle. And as you said practice makes perfect.

Linda - I'm so sorry about work, what a crappy thing to say to somone....hope the next job proves to be a lot better, enjoy your time away!

Bec - thanks for the explanation! Sounds a bit nasty having to go to pick up so early in the peace I've heard of IVM but never known anyone doing it, there sure seem to be some benefits in regards to much shorter cycle time.

Sandi - sorry for your result today...

Bel - good luck for this cycle, it's exciting to get that good news to start moving forward again!

Kyles - hope the next 11 days fly by for you

Hi Girls
I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice. I'm 25 and have PCOS apparently but no raised hormone levels, without drugs i only cycle maybe once a year. My fiancee is 31 and has poor sperm function < 3 million of which 65% are deformed and we have been trying to get pregnant for nearly 2 years. When i went to Pivet they pretty much gave us no choice but full IVF. My fiancee has got someone pregnant so i dont know if i should see just a fertility specialist first to maybe see if clomid helps. Would love people to talk to about these things as no one i know really understands.

Thanks

Bee - I would suggest a 2nd opinon if you are no comfortable but it sounds like they are offering you the option that would be most effective this must be a difficult time

Morning Ladies...

Are we all happy it's Friday..???? I sooo am..

Sandi - I am so sorry about your BFN...Believe me when I say most of us here know how you feel...

Linda - I can't believe your work situation. One minute they are promoting you and telling you that you're a star and the next minute this?? I think you will be better off out of there asap...I know you'll fall on your clever feet pretty quick smart..Goodluck with it.

Bee - I second Linda and say go for a 2nd opinion so your are satisfied. Ask as many questions as you need to. Make a list before you go - because if you're anything like me...you forget half of them when you are in there..Goodluck.

Paula - I am sure the DH is a happy little vegemite. These men make me laugh...how their little swimmers perform is always sooooo important to them.

Kyles - hope you're coping ok in the TWW. I am usually fine for the first week but by day 8 start climbing the walls..I hope you stay more relaxed then i do..

Saph - OMG I was just reading the last batch of posts and didnt realise you were on Puregon for 23 days!!!! YUK!!! you poor thing. I think I have it bad when I am usually on for around 14 days... everything goes well for you and you trigger today...Goodluck sweet..

Bel - my little saviour....fingers crossed the headaches are worth it all!!!!

Me - nothing exciting...just killing time over the next 3 weeks while I have all these tests.

Have a great weekend chick-a-dees...

Hi Bee, I too have PCOS with no raised Male hormones. I tried Clomid for 3 cycles and it did not even make me ovulate. I am now on OI which involves taking Puregon (injectable FSH) at the beginning of my cycle, Purgeon 5000iu as the LH surge to make me ovulate and then some booster shots of Puregon 1500iu after ovulation. Good news is that it has been making me ovulate regularly. Bad news is that as of yet I have not fallen pregnant (although will know tomorrow if this cycle has worked or not).

My FS is certainly of the opinion for us that we should give this a try before moving to IVF. However, I would think that the Doc's would know your full medical situation and would advise you based on that. There may be something that is different in your situation to mine. But, it is always valuable to ask for a second opinion if you are unsure.

[*Paula*]

Bee - Definately get another opinion. When it doesnt feel right, you should follow your gut instinct. I have been to two FS now and both had different opinons. Good luck with your journey and i hope it all works out for you soon.

Lulu - Yes men are very funny when it comes to their little men. My DH must have been so happy to hear that all was good with them that he didnt even think to ask anymore questions... Silly duffer!

Janie - Good luck with your results tomorrow.

Well DH and i had a good chat last night about the results and what the next few weeks involves for us and we are very excited! We know that there is always the posibility that it may not work first time but to be honest we arent even thinking about that. We are feeling so positive that it will happen and soon that we feel like doing a little dance with excitement Hopefully all the positive vibes bring positive things our way.

Well i too am extremely glad its FRIDAY Bring on the weekend!

[tiggerlinda]

Sandi sorry about the BFN
Kyles: Hoping that the next 11 days bring by a BFP
Bel: I have everything crossed for you for this cycle
Saph: I hope the house cleaning is not too boring we hired a house cleaner because I escaped it with work etc

Well another interview tommorrow

[~BecD~]

Paula - That's fantastic news about hubbies swimmers - good luck with iui!

Sandi - Sorry to hear your result hon, BFNs are really hard (((HUGS)))

TL - Thats crap about the job! My work has gone to sh*t as well lately, am working back until 7pm tonight just so Im not that far behind. Grrrr at crappy employers! Have fun on your romantic weekend away - sounds perfect

Bel - Good luck with the new cycle. Hopefully you feel a little better soon, I find that HRT knocks me around too. I will keep everything crossed for you.

salt princess - I was just thinking, is your FS at FSWA Mike Aitken? For some reason I thought he might be... He will be doing my EPU but I haven't met him before. What's he like?

I'm so sorry Sandi.. Good luck with your next cycle.. I'll have everything crossed for you...
