So you didn't manage to get your BT moved earlier, Willow?
I managed ok with the synarel - the sermon ended bang on 7pm, and as soon as everything was finished and the worship team were heading back up I ducked off to the loo and did the squirty thing then. With all the extra water I'm drinking, I really needed to! I am feeling heaps better than I did yesterday, though, so that certainly is something.
I didn't get any paperwork in the synarel pack - I'm really surprised that my clinic has me being so strict with it, when nobody else has that sort of instructions! Just got to remember to not take the pill again tonight. Hoping against hope that my body will NOT decide to have a bleed this time! Normally AF would arrive two days after stopping the active tablets, which means Tuesday. But Tuesday is my birthday, and I really, really don't want AF on my birthday! Hopefully I'm still close enough to the bleed I had before (and I never, ever want to experience anything like that again!) that it won't happen.
Megan - can't wait to hear your official results tomorrow.
Well as you ladies know I have been having some 'maybe' symptoms & then yesterday I felt sick all day & than again this arvo.
If I'm not pg I must be coming down with a virus but I have so much CM still, which I don't normally have at this time.
Does anyone know if chlomid can change this?
Jo - 27 (treated endo)
Dh - 33
TTC #1 since June 2005 this will be the year!
Thank you ladies for your kind words and i will be back 2morrow for personels b4 i leave...........................still cleaning cupboards...........and i have to i found a ****roack in the dishwasher 2 days ago and now im freaking but so far he was a loner. MIL said its the weather but i will banish them all
Good luck for transfer tomorrow Loula and Megan Godd luck for your beta test.
BW I just realised I am just one day ahead of you so we are real cycle buddies this time around. Re the bleeding, you kinda actually do want a bleed believe it or not. When they do the down reg scan on Fri (Sat prob for you) they will be looking for a nice thin lining so that they can get a nice fresh healthy one producing with the stim drugs for bubs to implant into. I took my last pill on Friday and have started to bleed today....so far everything is like clockwork for me......absolutely no symptoms on the lucrin which I am not sure is a good or bad thing....really not looking forward to getting up a the crack of dawn on Friday to drive an hour to the city for a scan at 7:30 in the morning. I told DH he could just bundle me in the car and wake me up when we get there....I am soooo NOT a morning person.
I'm feeling a bit spaced out so I haven't caught up on everyone's news - sorry. I hope you're all well and fingers crossed for those who have got BTs this week, and of course transfers.
We went to see our FS today, and I must admit that I was expecting more of the same, "it's a numbers game, at your age after 3 attempts you should get a BFP", but actually, he didn't say that at all. He said that my overall egg quality has not been good, and as none of our embies have stayed, it is likely due to chromosone problems, so he wants us to test for genetic problems. We ahd the blood tests today and it will take 6 weeks to find out if there's a problem or not.
If there is they're going to use the Polscope to get past the spindle and avoid causing any problems with ICSI. It all sounds very confusing! If there is a problem we'll also have to do PGD.
So, this means a delay in the next cycle, hopefully we'll start in early April, on a different protocol called "Antagonist", which is 2 weeks shorter. If we get enough embryos the FS also wants to take them to blastocyst.
I am feeling drained and totally information overload. I was really expecting him to put us straight back onto another cycle. I am so worried about the test and if it brings up anything untoward and scary. 6 weeks seems like forever!
Well just thought id pop in after TF which went really well although my FS left one behine and so we had to go twice but she said that was an extra sticky one.lol
Girls can i ask why is it the on our day of TF dh and i have the biggest rows and i always feel like ****. must be that harmony thing hitting me again
Well the BT came back and it seems I am pg but they want to check my hcg levels on Friday to make sure they are still rising as they are a bit low. I don't know how I am going to get through the rest of the week at this point.
Sushee, you had low hcg levels with your last pg didn't you??
I think you did a blast trf didn't you? These usually have a lower hcg than most pregnancies because of the lateness of the implantation. My level at 13dpo was 73, which was considered relatively high for a blast trf, believe it or not. I had another BT done 3 days later, and it had gone up to 260+. That was when the coordinating nurse reminded me that you can't tell by one hcg reading how things are going. What you need to see is if your levels are doubling every 48 hours.
If you like, hun, PM me your levels and dpo, and let me have a look. I also have a reference website that shows hcg levels for IVF (taking into account age of embryos) that you may like to have a squizz at.
Megan - congrats on te positive BT - hang in there - it's only a few more sleeps til the next test.
as for me - BT this morning brought some not so good news - seems even on the higher dose of the injections my body isn't responding and i still have drastically low estrogen levels, so FS has stopped everything - no more injections, no more synarel - and no more hopes that we migt have IUI in the near future. i'm just devastated. found out while i was at work, and had to try to keep it together - survived, but only just. have to go back and see FS next week to try to work out a different plan of attack. i feel terrible - DH has been so interested in this whole process, and when i told him i could hear how much it hurt him - so i'm feeling even guiltier than i did last week
sorry, would do more personals, but i've just got home from work, and think i'm gonna go cuddle up to DH for a while and just try to block out the world.
Oh BG, I'm so sorry hun. Are you going for a FS review soon to decide the next plan of action? Hoping you have a long, much-needed cuddle with DH tonight.
I'm so sorry to hear that, BG :hugs: I hope there's a plan out there that will have you with a BFP real quick!
Megan, I hope those levels continue to rise nicely... it seems that first positive test isn't the end of the battle - something we can so easily forget in this whole process.
i was pretty lucky - FS is based in melbourne but travels out to the local clinic every few weeks - turns out he's due next monday, so i only have to wait a week to see him. asked the clinic nurse if she had any ideas what might happen, and she wasn't sure - so i wait another week to find out
on the upside - DH and i got together on valentines day, and he was a little worried about enforced abstinence, so i guess that's makes life a little easier - plus our first anniversary is next weekend so can go away knowing that we dont have to be doing injections or anything (i guess every thunder cloud has a silver lining - somewhere...)
Well it seems like it's been a tough day all round.
Alex, BG and Megan - massive :hugs: to you all.
Nothing much happening here, blood test tomorrow. Hopefully I can bring some good news in to lighten the load.
Must admit, I'm pretty terrified about what tomorrow's going to bring.
Hang in there girls....
BG - I say go all out for valentines/your anniversary - a weekend away with all the trimmings sounds like a brilliant idea! I did it a few months back with my DH and it was just the best.
Megan - I know this happened to you last cycle so it must be really hard, but I just have a feeling that things are going to work out much better this time!

have just been checking out the net for a nice place to stay - can't really afford to spend a fortune on accommodation with all the reno's going on - but frankly, at the moment, i think we deserve it!
we were initially going to go back to the motel we stayed at in melbourne after the wedding, but seeing we have to go to FS next monday, we might stay home til sunday, than head to Lakes Entrance or something... will have to scope it all out.
yeah, sounds like a good idea - feeling a little happier already!
WTG BG. We were in the same boat, couldn't really afford it but I just said 'bugger it, we've been through 12 months of hell and we bloody well deserve it'!
If you were in NSW I could have recommended some great, relatively cheap places in the Blue Mountains
Have no idea where/what Lakes Entrance is but it sounds good
