Hey ladies
I have posted a poll in the LTTTC/AC area on whether the current financial crisis is affecting LTers ability to access AC. If you are interested in participating it can be found HERE.
Watching over you all and love the fact you are all supporting each other so well in here :grouphug: and :bluedust:
xx
nothing too interesting to report from me. EWCM again here but not much point DTD with DH statistics.
Just thinking of you all and sending lots of luck your way as there is so much activity in here this month.
TwoMums - Congrats on your follies - great news!
Bella - Thanks for letting me know that, now I know I can probably just hope to get AF as soon as possible and hopefully move forward. I was thinking it was probably because of the Pregnyl. Yes I had Puregon and Pregnyl in my last cycle.
I've had bad lower back pain since last night so I'd say AF is on her way. Hope she comes for you soon too so that you can start your IVF process.
:hello: to everyone else
Hi Girls,
BabyDreamtime: Just dropping in to wish you :goodluck: with FET - I think you're right, this sounds like lots of reasons that this is definitely gonna work. Thanks for checking on me.
Jaxi: The E2 level is importnant as it show how your follies are going, when it gets to high you are at risk of OHSS, I guess as you were saying you're not feeling so well BDT was wondering about this, lots of small meals with protein and lots of water usually helps.
2Mum: The follies sound great!
Mis Magpie: Hope you went well yesterday.
Sunflower: You are amazing, well done for already loooking forward again, sorry but I can't help with your question.
:hello: to everyone else
Sara
Mornin everyone,
Phew, what a night! I was curled up in a ball feeling severely nauseous (sp?) all night. Feeling a lot better today though. I hope my 16 follicles hasn't increased to 20!!!
I'm not sure whether to ring the doctor now and tell him or wait the day out. I'm due for my trigger at 10:30pm tonight, which could push me over the OHSS edge........ok I have to get positive now ;) but I can't deny the fear of possibly losing this many eggs from a cancelled cycle. Am waiting to hear about a blood test for my E2 levels today. Hope they're not too high.
Jaxi - how are you feeling? Hope all is going well for you. I'm sending positive vibes through to you.
Twomums - hooray hooray hooray. That is such a great result. I can't wait to hear how it all goes for you two this cycle. I'm on the edge of my seat. :pray:
You are all such amazing people. I am learning so much in this thread and want to give a :grouphug: to us all. Thank you thank you thank you gorgeous people. I had such a big cry yesterday but then I logged on here and read some of your posts. I feel as though my hand is being held by 20 people.
Have a fab day everyone.
I'm out! I had my cry yesterday and I'm ready to move on. FS is moving me straight to IVF but this won't commence for 3 months.....time to start focusing on ourselves, losing a bit of weight, getting healthy etc etc etc!! Worst thing is.............i have to go to baby shower this morning!! eeekkkkk!!! Very good friend of mine so i can't be like that! Thanks everyone. I'm going to be lurking for the next few months but will join you again soon!
just a quick reply.
i had acupuncture on fri and was good.
i also had last pregnyl, ouch, so i should know by tue if i am utd. i am getting a BFP. got fingers crossed.
good luck to all my friends.
Baby2Bee, thinking of you this morning. I know baby showers aren't easy!!!!
BrisVegas, sorry to hear the nausea has hit you too. Not pleasant!
TwoMums, so happy for the two of you!!! looking real good.
I ended up calling the after hrs number for the FC last night after my temp went up and I started puking my guts out with AWFUL AWFUL stomach pains. They were fantastic! Explained that although I was at risk of OHSS it was too early and my symptoms were pointing more toward a gastro than anything IVF related. My E2 levels were at 7000 yesterday which didn't concern them too much. They said it's more of a concern where they see the E2 levels rising at too rapid a rate (e.g. doubling over night). They took my puregon down to 25ml last night and I'm actually feeling a million times better today apart from bad stomach pains. Went in for another bt this morning to check my E2 again and should have the results in the next half an hr....
Add me to the teary list. Had such a long cry last night. I was just feeling sick and miserable and I get so anxious not knowing what's going on in my body with all the IVF stuff but hearing it's most likely a gastro made me feel better.
Hope everyone's having a good weekend.
Hey Everyone
Bella - I hope AF is on its way soon so you can start your IVF journey already huh?!
Sazza - When are you due to have your FET with your snowbub?
MissMagpie - How did you go yesterday, hope everything is great!
BrisVegas - I hope you are feeling better today, dont go putting yourself in the ICU now!!
Baby2Bee - So sorry sweetheart, glad to see you picked yourself up and go and enjoy your friends baby shower, I got a feeling it will be your time very soon!
JBM - Yeah those pregnyl shots are a pain! Good on your for going for it with the AC. Fingers crossed for you this month!
MellMell - I hope you are hanging in there, we are waiting for egg pick up too! We'll be in the TWW wait together!!
Sunflower - So sorry about the BFN, its just not fair. But so glad you are rearing to go again, picking yourself up and keep trying, it will be worth it in the end! I would give your little frosties a go. You never know... one might look like a crappy embie according to the scientists, doesnt mean it wont go on to be your bundle of joy! If nothing happens then go for another stim cycle. I think i read somewhere that blasts dont freeze/thaw as well as 2 or 3 day embies. I would stick with a single transfer as you are so young. Just my opinion.
BabyDreamTime - All the very best for today, i hope your transfer goes well!.
Buggirl - So sorry this cycle didnt work, sounds like you are doing all the right things! Hopefully your last little embie will be lucky last!
Jaxi - E2 is short for Estrogen. When you have your blood tests to monitor your cycle, they are checking the E2 levels, the progestrone levels and the (LH) Lutinising Hormone Levels. If your E2 levels are rising nicely that means your eggs are growing and maturing. If they shoot right up they will keep an eye on you for OHSS. They like to see that the Progestrone and LH levels stay low. A rise in either will mean that ovulation is imminent and they dont want that before egg pick up. That is from what i understand anyways. Kim's E2 was 1920 last time and 848 before that and 450 before that so doubling every test. If your E2 goes above 3000 they watch out for OHSS i think.
Big hello to everyone else. Kim and I are now just waiting for yet another scan on Monday but cant wait til next wednesday to see how many eggs we end up with! Talk about a rollercoaster of a cycle, and thats just during the stim phase!!!!! Anyway, we just keep rolling with it. What else can you do??
:cry: YIKES! I'm thinking my E2 level of 7000 is VERY high
Morning Everyone,
Well I have been very busy so it's time to catch up. We are booked in for BT & U/S on Monday, if I were a betting person and went on last cycle that would mean EPU on Wed and TF on following Monday but I will just have to wait and see.
Meanwhile we are doing renovations. I know they say not too whilst doing the IVF but in all honestly I have actually found the perfect balance :clap: I am just doing odds and ends and I have found by keeping myself busy its helped a lot this cycle. I am not sitting around wondering what my body is doing, well I still do but I have found doing the reno's has helped pass time and I am only filling cracks ready for the painting cause we are not DIY people as such I use a builder for 90% I just do little things. So if I can fill cracks and then paint away the TWW very carefully I promise that will be awesome.
Aleenta - How is everything going for you hun. I guess you have been busy cause I haven't seen you here a lot. I Hope everything is going well for you I am always here to talk if you need it :hug:
Bella - Isn't it funny the whole time we are TTC we say no AF, then we suddenly want her, well bring on AF for you!
Missmagpie - How did you go the other day. I hope everything is going well for you.
Baby2bee - I feel for you with the baby shower. Last year we had a MC and my sister in law was also pregnant and just delivered a girl. I very happy for them don't get me wrong but it's very bitter sweet if you know what I mean. Just think positive and find something to think about to occupy your mind.
JBM - I use Emla cream. I am a sook but as no one here will inject for me i really struggled with the pain inflicted on myself. So after 1 shot I went to the chemist and bought some and now I use it all the time. Expensive but pain free. I also find the Orangutan hurts more cause its thicker, but thats just me. I think any needle sux.
Babydreamtime - Lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust: and :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for your transfer. Are you having only 1 put back???
Oh JBM BTW our hubby's must be related somehow. Mine has said this is the last stim for this year. He thinks 2 stims is enuff for a year and then we look at next year if we don't get pg on the fresh and have no embies thaw again as last cycle.
To everyone else I hope you are doing well in your cycle. To those who have failed just look foreword, it's just how it has to be, we can't change the past but we can be responsible the future. Just relax regularly and do things that keep your mind active. A healthy mind is the most important thing as we all know that stress is a huge factor with IVF.
Take care everyone :grouphug: and keep those BFP's coming.
Jaxi - 7000 might be a little high...wait and see what your second level is and what the clinic says. Might be the start of OHSS but they can always 'coast' you to see if they level out. All the best for your blood results...:pray:
Thanks TwoMums. Looks like coasting it is for tonight. No injection tonight, 25ml tomorrow night and then scan and BT on Monday at which point they'll probably trigger with epu set for Wed.
I spoke with the clinic today and we have decided to start a stim cycle straight away so it's round 2 for us, start on the pill tuesday for the down reg.
So fingers crossed for this time :)
So
Good news Jaxi, we are doing the same, scan and bt on monday, trigger monday night, epu on wednesday!! We'll by tww buddies!
Hey Jaxi & Twomums
Same here possibly, BT & Scan for MOn so we could all be in TWW and good things comein 3's aha. Yay ha ha
WOW I've been so nervous thinking about the epu (I don't do well with general anaesthetic) but now knowing there are a few of us having epu on Wed (or thereabouts) it's actually quite comforting. At this stage not so sure whether I'll be on the 2ww with you ladies tho as I've apparently had a stomach bug going through me the last few days and now the FS says he'll have to decide after epu whether to proceed with embryo impantation or hold it off for a month until my body is clear of any virus. Anyone know the success rates of 3-5 day transfer as opposed to frozen embryo transfer? I'm assuming that's what FET stands for!? Again, the novice in me appears!
Jaxi - I think you might be well enough by the end of next week. Are you going to have a 3 day transfer or blast transfer? It might be Monday when you go for embryo transfer. Eitherway I would try for a fresh transfer, but your FS knows best. Re the general anaesthetic, it is only a very light general, morelike a twilight sedation, although you are asleep and you wont remember anything, so you shouldnt experience the problems you have with general anaesthetic for more full on surgery. Just wake up a bit drowsy is all.
Not sure what the plan is for the transfer. I understand blasts have the highest success rate??
btw just noticed my mood has been stuck on "crappy" and I can't seem to find the mood option tab anywhere. Is it just my comp or has it disappeared? I promise I'm not ALWAYS in a crappy mood lol
Jaxi - If you scroll up to the top of your screen where it says Welcome Jaxi, underneath that you can click on the mood "crappy" and it will give you a list to choose from .
Hello lovely ladies,
:clap: :dance: :clap: :dance: AF arrived yesterday!!! So i start my injections tonight - i'm soooo excited - just had to let you all know!
Hello to everyone - just about to go out will BBL for personals.
Have a great day everyone!
xxBella
Bella- thats excellent news, all the best with your jabbing and stimming!!!
Hi Everyone,
Well my nausea wore off mid afternoon yesterday and we went ahead with the trigger last night at 10:30pm. I followed all of the tricks my friends gave me and ended up feeling no pain at all with the needle or the substance going in with the Ovidrel. Was as easy as Puregon. I was watching the clock leading up to the time and getting very nervous - but was all cool in the end.
Have spent most of today in bed relaxing and hoping for the best. I just want to make it to my EPU tomorrow morning. I'll be happy with that. Looking forward to the twilight GA. I usually get sick with those injections too, but have had a twilight before and was fine.
Bella - good luck with it all. If you suffer with snorting the Synarel like I did and need some tips on how to make it easier let me know :-)
Jaxi - I agree with Twomums. I think you will feel better by the end of the week. You FS will guide you accordingly. Hope you are feeling better overall. My FS has chosen blastie for me which will be Saturday. Although he's only putting on back since I am borderline OHSS.
Sun-flower - get back on that horse girlfriend. Fingers crossed for this next cycle.
Big week for some of us with EPU's. Here's hoping for lots of juicy fertilised eggs!!!
Hi All,
Miss Magpie- hope you have some good news- can't wait to hear from you.
B2B- Hope the acupuncture is going well for you & goodluck for IVF cycle, hope you survived the baby shower.
Sunflower- Sorry to hear your news all the best for next cycle.
Babydreamtime- :stickyvibesgirl: lets hope the clairvoyant is right and you get the best birthday present. fingers crossed
JBM- : Hope the acupuncture is going well. Goodluck for Tuesday, here is hoping it is a BFP.
Buggirl- Goodluck glad to hear you are planning to get straight back on the horse. All the best for your next cycle.
Jaxi- I understand the privacy on hear lets hope I can build up posts so you can let me know. Thanks. Hope you are feeling better :goodluck: for scan & BT tomorrow.
BrisvegasEndo- Thanks for the details. Have heard about ML so thinking he may be where we head next. Hoping it is not OHSS for you. Positive vibes being sent your way. Glad to hear you are feeling better and relaxing. All the best for scan and BT tomorrow. Goodluck
Loops12- Hope all is well for you. Have you POAS again?
TwoMums- Great news for you. All the best for EPU. So glad they are going to do IVF for you. Hope this is the cycle for a BFP. Goodluck for tomorrow.
Bella55- Hope all is going well for you. Glad to hear the injections have started. Goodluck
xxRobxx- Goodluck for tomorrow with you BT and scans. fingers crossed for you.
AFM I had BT repeated on Friday and clinic advised that it is a negative, so we are starting another cycle straight away, I have first BT on Tuesday and if all goes to plan transfer should be about 25 March. Me and DH are contemplating have 2 :egg: transferred this cycle. Does anyone have advise on transfer of more than 1? Am also planning Acupuncture with this cycle.
If I have missed anyone on the personals I wish you all :goodluck:.
Take care everyone
:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:grouphug: to everyone.
so im guessing that you are not doing a long down reg?:
GL with the coming weeks and EPU. xx
Laniwantsababy we are having 2 put back. We had a failed stim cycle then all our little embies didn't even thaw even though they were the best quality embryo's so I asked for 2 and they agreed. I would rather risk a twin pregnancy than freezing them and they don't thaw again.
My FS is very supportive and we talked about all the pro's and con's. I will be happt to BFP with one but two would be awesome so let's just wait and see.
xxRobxx
Thanks
I think we will see if FS will transfer 2, I would be happy with twins if that's what we were given.
All the best,
Thanks
Hi Everyone
Been very busy and popping in for quick looks but no updates of late. Have been watching in on everyone with great interest though - there's a lot of activity. About to start synarel on Tuesday and nervous about that but excited about getting started too.
Flying home to Oz in 3 weeks to start injections etc and feeling positive about it now. I wrote an email to my siblings a few days ago to let them know we were coming home to start treatment and had a really good cry whilst doing that as it suddenly dawned on me that this is actually happening. I think up until that point I really thought we would get our natural BFP and none of this would be happening. But we haven't and we are coming home to do IVF - writing that email certainly made it all sink in.
TwoMums - congrats on being able to stick with IVF and good luck for your EPU on Wed!
B2B- Hope the acupuncture is okay. I have been doing Acu for a couple of months now and whilst it hasn't got me a BFP so far I always come away feeling very relaxed. I hope it does the same for you.
Laniwantsababy - hope that your FS is supportive of your wish to have 2 transferred if that's what you feel is best. GL!
BrisvegasEndo - good luck for your EPU tomorrow - here's hoping you get lots of juicy follies!
Rob - good luck for your EPU which is soon - sounds like you will have good company in the TWW. Sending you loads of luck.
Bella55- Hope all is going well for you. Good to hear that you have started injections. So nervous about starting mine.
Babydreamtime - lots and lots and lots of luck for your transfer!!!!!!!!!!
Jaxi- hope you're feeling better and that you don't have to delay - fingers crossed for you!
Take care everyone!!
Hi everyone.
I saw FS on Thursday re bub#2 and have started OCP. Lucrin injections start in 2 or 3 weeks (will get my program tomorrow). I am now quickly weaning bub #1 who is only 6 months old and I'm feeling very sad about that. I really want more children if at all possible and because of severe endo my chances are better sooner rather than later. I am also excited about starting the IVF rollercoaster again.
I found this forum to be very supportive last time so I will join you all again on this journey!
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL
jayne
Hi Ladies!!!
Thanks TwoMums. something appears to be wrong with my monitor. The option to change my mood is simply no longer there. I know it used to be. Perhaps it's the browser I'm using!?!!?
Lani, DH and I would love to try for twins but our FS is very much against it for the first IVF cycle. We'll see how we go with one this time and if there is a next time we may bring up the topic of two again (hoping there isn't a next time though).
Bella - WOOHOOO on starting the injections. So funny how excited we get at the prospect of injecting!!!!
BrisVegas - it's all happening! Glad you're feeling better and wishing you all the best for your EPU. You'll have to give me tips for the trigger. I just picked up my drugs this morning but probably wont be ready to trigger till tomorrow night. Just waiting for the final confirmation from the FS. Has a bunch of follies at 15mm and a couple already at 18mm this morning and they want to give them another day before triggering which will mean trigger tomorrow night and epu Thur. I'll have one more ultrasound tomorrow morning just to be sure.
KMond and jbub wishing you both all the best!!!
BFN for me !
Hi lovely ladies,
JBM, what? I thought you were waiting until tomorrow to POAS. What is going on? It is far too early to tell, how many dpo are you, hunny I hope you are wrong.
Jaxi, you now need to be a Platinum Member to be able to change your mood, they stopped it a little while ago due to server issues. If you email BB and ask then to set it to a neutral mood they should be able to do it. GL with your EPU, do you have a scan today, hope you are ready to trigger.
Jbub, GL with your cycle, I hope it is a BFP for your first up like your last one, but also hope none of the difficulties.
KMond, yay, how exciting to be starting your cycle, GL with sniffing and hope your cycle goes well, will be cheering you on.
Lani, I am like you, I would love twins, and would rather take the chance and up my odds by transferring 2. GL with your FS and it is great that you are getting straight back into your next cycle.
Rob, are you having a scan and BT today too, and EPU Wed, sending you best wishes and all the luck I can.
Loula, hi, I hope you are keeping well.
BrisVegas, Glad to hear you are feeling better, GL with our EPU.
TwoMums, best of luck to you and Kim for your scan and BT today and EPU on Wed, wow, everyone seems to be doing EPU on the same day, hope it is a great sign.
Bella, GL with your first IVF cycle, I hope it is a BFP first go.
Sunflower, great news re starting your cycle right away, best of luck.
Sara, B2B, Loops, Sazz, Dusty, and everyone else, hi.
AFM, I had my FET on Saturday, had 2 blasties transferred and am now in the TWW. Trying to stay positive and not think about it too much, yeah right!
Hugs to everyone, good luck with your cycles. xx
Wishing you the best of luck Baby Dreamtime. Will be thinking of you over the next two weeks!
Thank you for your help re the mood. I was wondering what the deal there was. I did have an ultrasound this morning and all is looking good. Quite a few 15mm follies and a couple already at 18 so they want to give it another day for the 15mm follies to grow a little before I trigger. They estimated this morning that they should be able to get at least 15 eggs which is exciting! I have another ultrasound tomorrow morning before they give me the trigger go ahead.
Hi Everybody!
It's been a really looooooong time since I was on here. I only really recognise one name, Smithy how are ya hun :hello:? I'm hoping this means that the others all got their dreams!
How is everybody doing? Not quite the newbie but forgotten a lot. It might take me a while to get around to personals.
So since last time I was on here I have turned the big 3-0 and 3 weeks ago I married my sweetheart! AF arrived on Sat :hooray: I have never been so happy to see the old witch! Started pill popping so here we go!
Question, does anybody know if it's safe to get the Fluvax whilst doing IVF?
Good afternoon girls,
Just wanted to pop in and say I got a BFP on Friday :dance:
Thanks for all your well wishes. All your support and advice is much appreciated.
Jaxi & twomums - good luck with your Epu's this week. Hope you get lots of lovely embies :D
:hello: to everyone else and good luck with your cycles which ever stage your at.
Take care,
Tania
Hi all
Laniwantsababy - GL for your transfer coming up. Yes I did another POAS and it was another BFN. After talking to lots of different people lately I realise that it is 99% approx. of it being due to the Puregon and Pregnyl in last IUI cycle. Have heard stories of people even getting up to CD55, im on CD40 today.
BDT - GL in TWW
All the very best to everyone and :hello:
Tania - I think I have already said so but CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP!
Miss Magpie - That is absolutely fabulous news!!!!!! All the best for a H&H pregnancy. Hope to be joining you in a couple of weeks. You really helped me through the low egg numbers drama and gave me hope! Just goes to show it DOES only take one eggie!
As for us, we had our scan and the dr said there is still 7 follies (the big one that is probably a cyst he said) and 6 others that are all the right size and so he said to trigger tonight!!! We have the Ovidrel shot, but also 5000iu of pregnyl. He said that he wanted to make sure that the eggs fell away from the side of the wall of the follicle well and truely. He has been doing it more and more with women who are a little on the chubby side with great success. I'm not questioning the master!! Her E2 is 3391 today so it is great for 6 follicles.
Miss Magpie- CONGRATULATIONS All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy. :dance::clap:
Loops 12 - Sorry it is a bfn. My thoughts are with you. All the best for the next cycle. :goodluck: :crossfingers:
Huge congrats MissMagpie! :clap: Wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy too.
