Hi fellow TWW-ers and TTC friends. It's not too late to send your letter to the politicians about the possible elimination of the safety net for IVF - BUT IT MAY BE TOO LATE NEXT WEEK. All the information you need can be found in this thread: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post1712142. In response to a suggestion, I just posted a form letter - just to make it easier for those who aren't sure where to start.
Fingers-crossed for all of us - wouldn't it be nice if we ended up sending this letter on behalf of future IVF-ers because we all ended up pregnant!
Twomums - wow congrats - great results you both must be very relieved!
Lea - Welcome! I'm day 7 today of my first IVF with ICSI cycle so 1 day ahead of you! I can sympathise with you re: the pregnant friends - my best friend is due on my birthday in May and beleive it or not i spent 3 hours yesterday shopping for baby gifts! I was on my own and did actually enjoy it but when i got in the car to drive home the tears fell!!! I mst add though she is a fantastic support to me.
Loops - has AF arrived yet????
Lani - hows the tracking going? GL for your FET xx
JBM- i know it's a bit late but was very sorry to hear AF arrived - hope your relaxing and taking care of yourself xx
Hello to everyone else - i hope everyone is staying relatively sane jabbing, sniffing, B/Ting, U/Sing, waiting..............!!
AFM - well today is day 7 so i have my first orgalutran tonight with my puregon - does anyone know can i just have one straight after the other? I'm feeling ok physically - a little bloated and intermittently very slight cramping but sometimes i think it's in my head! I have first U/S and B/T tom and i can't wait - i hate not knowing whats going on.
As for DH - he seems quite detached - he was very excited during and let down when the last down reg IUI didn't work so maybe this is his way of trying to deal with it? Anyway enough from me.... I'm off to get waxed fun, fun!
Just a quick note (I am always at work when i get these updates).. But the embryologist called me to say that we have 3 embies at 4 cells and Grade 3 (the best) and 1 at 2 cells and Grade 2+. She only graded the 2 cell at 2+ because it is 2 cells but she is sure it will catch up (it must be a boy)... She said they look really really good and that we have a really high risk of getting pregnant with these embryo's and if we put two back we have a really high chance of getting twins!!! WOWEEEEE!!! BBL for personals girls!!!
Rob - 23 eggs - wow! Hope you're feeling okay and not suffering any ill effects from EPU. Rob - numbing cream? What is it called and where do I get it? Not yet started injections but want to be prepared!
TwoMums - wonderful news on your embies!! Lots of luck for ET tomorrow.
Lani - can't give any advice on your figures I'm sorry but hope the monitoring is going well for your FET
JBM - so so sorry to hear AF has arrived. Hope you're doing okay.
Mindhugs - love the new alias!
Possums - welcome back - GL with going a la natural and hopefully you'll have no further need for BB forum!
Lea F - Welcome and GL with your first IVF cycle. Glad your injections are going well. I am also on my first IVF cycle though still on syneral at the mo.
EmmaPenguin - Hope the TWW is going okay and fingers crossed for beginners luck for you!
bella55 - hope the injections are going okay!
AFM have started the syneral and so far it is absolutely fine - kind of wondering if I'm doing it properly to be honest?? It feels so innocuous it just doesn't feel like it could possibly be doing anything - but I'm sure it is.
Quick question on stimming - just wondering from everyone how many days does your FS ask you to do of injections before you go for your first ultrasound and blood test to see how you are responding?
Kmond, the cream is called Emla cream. But be warned it's about $80 per tube which for me did a cycle. I also bought tegaderm clear skin, put about a 20c piece worth of cream on an hour before needle with the skin over and it was perfect.
Funny though cause I used to be an ambo, just resigned last year to work on having another baby, and never had a problem with jabbing everyone else ha ha.
The injections etc are dependant on your bodies reaction to the drugs. Liek your blood levels and how the follicles are growing apparantly.
To be honest tonight I feel better pain wise than after my first cycle. I feel tired but I am assuming thats from the anasthetic more than anything. But trust me I plan to rest flat out for next few days up til transfer on Tuesday. I also felt like this time nothing was happening and look so maybe it's a good thing hun.
I am hanging out to know how many fertilised. I would be happy with 10, 15 great any more brillinat, but I don't want to hold my breath cause you just don't know. Last time I had 13, 9 were mature, of them 6 fertilised we put 1 back, froze 4 and 1 was no good. When we went back for transfer none survived that thaw. They were great embryo's they said and so I learnt not to expect anything at all.
Twomums I am just as excited for your transfer as waiting for the call about our embies. Lots of luck you are doing great.
JBM How are you going hun, has hubby reconsidered. Mine has also said no more stim at least this year so lucky I got eggs. Now they just need to be fighters and either move in fresh oir survive the thaw.
To everyone else wherever you are in your cycles. Let's bring on those BFP's.
Rob: that's a great result keeping fingers crossed for fertilization.
JBM: Hoep you are okay - are you already thinking about next steps or just taking some time? Look after yourself.
Bella: I was told it's okay to take them straight after each other but to leave at least an inch in between the injections, so I always did one on one side of my belly and the other one on the other side and swapped sides each night.
Well EPU went well they got 23 eggs. I will know tomorrow how many were usable and fertislised and am nervous. T/F Booked for Tues.
Twomums and lots of for your T/F tomorrow.
Bella I used Puregon and the oralgutran and I used to take one after the other and it seemed to work I never asked I just thought it made sense to me cause I used numbing cream so it should be ok for you too sweet.
Hope everything is going well for everyoine else too.
Rob, 23 (i got that last time too) It is all too often that i see women get such large numbers at EPU! it is a bit of a worry, rest up as much as you can until tf. GL
Just popping in to wish you all GL with your treatments
to everyone else. Hope you doing well which ever stage your at.
Kmond, the cream is called Emla cream. But be warned it's about $80 per tube which for me did a cycle. I also bought tegaderm clear skin, put about a 20c piece worth of cream on an hour before needle with the skin over and it was perfect.
