everyone - thoughts become things...pick the good ones.
Hi All
Good luck to all this month. I am on Day 10 of taking Synarel and CD 31, waiting for AF to start injections. Husband has premature testiclular failure so we have frozen sperm.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself as i am new and wish all luck.
Hi all sorry i have been MIA, you know how it is life and all. Well we see new FS on
Thursday and have begun writing our list of questions. Hope everyone is doing well where ever you are in your cycles.
Thank you for all your well wishes. Its greatly appreciated.
Yesterday went better than expected. They collected 4 eggs! I only expected 2 maybe 3 at best but another follicle must have grown too. Ive just had a call from the clinic and my ET is booked in for 11.40am tomorrow morning. If anything happens in the meantime, I will get a call from my dr. My FS said to transfer 2 embies this time. If I get 2 then I will, but at this stage, I'll be happy if 1 makes it. Im trying not to think too much about it but its hard not too. Im close to the finish line and am I get there.
Twomums - Kim good luck with your jabbing. I cant offer any advice on giving the injections. I found that my right side was less sensitive than the left!
Loops - Anniversaries/birthdays of loved ones who have passed is always hard. I hope your doing better today. Good luck for Monday, fingers crossed.
JBM - hope all is on track for your FET next week.
Aleenta - Hope your embies are snuggling in nicely Hope to see you in TWW soon.
Trueblue - sorry to hear yesterday didnt go well. Its all so overwhelming. Hopefully you will get a better result with Dr.Talbot, good luck.
Toby - My FS gave me the same odds after my op and like Kahlan said, a "normal" couple only have the same success rate when trying to conceive naturally so those chances are a plus. Stay positive
Jaxi - sorry to hear that your cycle may be cancelled but hopefully if you can get your body back to normal, things will be better next cycle. Its very disappointing to cancel a cycle but you need to focus on the next one & stay positive. I feel like a pin cushion and am SO OVER having to show my "privates" to so many people (sorry, TMI)
Saph - no need to apologies for venting. Thats what we are here for. I cant imagine how that would have felt being told that by your FS. I too am overweight and would have LOVED to have shed some weight before falling pg but with all the meds etc have found it very difficult. Plus didnt want to put my body under additional stress if that makes sense. Take care of yourself and am here for you.
Hi to Sara, Baby2bee, Smithy, Babydreamtime, Dutchie and everyone else.
I also know how you must be feeling, we have sperm issues too and I am overweight with tendancies towards Poly Cyctic. We only had 20% chance of conceiving in the first 2 years and that was on the sperm analysis alone. with my problems i have no idea what the chances would have been. Not good tho. Its so easy to get let down and feel like giving up bit im convinced all this "pain" will be worth it one day. Its just so hard not having any control over anything. At least you have control over the weight issues, easy to say but i know as well as anyone how hard losing weight is too.
Hope you feel better soon.
Well not so good. We had five AA embies on ice, but none survived the thaw. So we are off to FS next week and hopefully we can g go straight to another stim cycle.
Rob: really sorry to hear that, hopefully your FS appointment will show you a way forward.
Jaxi: did you do a downregulated cycle? I had a similar experience with my first cycle which was down regulated, the second cycle was an antagonist and had a much better result.
Mr Magpie: four eggs that's an excellent result, well done! Will keep fingers crossed, goodluck for ET tomorrow.
Toby: I agree with everything the other ladies said, stay positive, you have a very good chance for a good result.
Saph: Sorry you had a bad experience. Sounds like your FS has a lot to learn in terms of bedside manner.
Thank you ladies for the positive comments and support!
Gee a lot of us in here are not having a great time with it all are we? We must stay positive. I believe we ALL will get there its just some hurdles in the way at the moment. Thinking positive thourghts for all who are going thru a rough patch at the moment.
Miss Magpie - hope it went well for you this morning.
Trueblue - I see Dr T. He is very positive in his outlook - which helps me come to terms with it all. I hope you feel comfortable with him.
Well I have 1 embie on board, am very happy with that. I only got the 1 from 4 eggs. I didnt expect anything more. I was just VERY thankful to get 1. I was sitting there waiting for the phone to ring to say, sorry no ET but that didnt come, thankfully. Of 10 eggs they have collected so far, I have only had 2 embies. I really hope this works.
Trueblue - have fun DTD this month! A game plan is always good
Twomums - Kim, good luck with your scan and bloods tomorrow.
Smithy - Bring on AF!
Rob - Sorry to hear that none of your embies survived the thaw. Fingers crossed your able to start a cycle straight away. I have the daunting task of doing yet another stim cycle if this one doesnt work so know how your feeling.
JBM - sounds like all is going to plan. Good luck! Hope to see you in TWW soon
Tania, that is wonderful, congrats on having one on board, I hope your embie is snuggling in nice and tight and good luck in your TWW.
Smithy, yeehaa for FET in March, you and me buddy. Not long to go now.
Saph, GL with your weight loss goals, it will all be worth it. Hope the time speeds by until you next cycle.
TwoMums, GL to Kim with her jabbing, I hope your scan and bloods are on track tomorrow. We will be in the TWW together! I hope this cycle is the one for you both.
Trueblue, GL DTD naturally this month, and if it is not meant to be, DL with your coming IUI.
Rob, sorry to hear your news re your embies. I agree with you, and ever since my first ET I have always pushed for 2 embies, it is just better chances I think. Good luck with your next stim cycle, I hope you can get into it right away.
JBM, yay, your FET is so close. Sending you the best of luck for thawing and ET on Wednesday, I hope it is the one and praying you get your BFP. If I am not too far behind you, I will see you in the TWW.
Toby, I agree, thinking positive is the way to go. I think a 20% chance is fabulous. I hope it happens for you soon.
Sara, hope you had a great weekend sailing, sounds like you have some lovely relaxing times coming up. GL for your next cycle.
Busy, hi, hope you are doing ok in your TWW.
Jaxi, sorry to hear your news. I think I mentioned previously, sometimes your first cycle is a bit of trail and error, so they know how your body responds. It took me 3 stim cycles to get my dose right. Good luck, I hope they didn't have to cancel.
Loops, GL for your IUI this month.
Baby2Bee, bring on the 13th March, I hope you get your BFP. Sending your sticky vibes for the TWW.
Dutchie, hope you are doing well and the new FS makes all the difference.
If I have missed anyone, so sorry, good luck to you where ever you are in your cycle.
AFM, I am CD11 today, I have an appointment for a scan tomorrow with my new FS, am hoping and praying all is on track and I have a lovely follie growing and ready to O soon for my first natural FET, yay! I am super excited. I have 3 frozen blasties and am praying that I will have two thaw perfect for ET. So now I am just hanging out to find out what my dates will be and what happens next. This is a cycle of firsts for me, first time natural FET, first time with a new FS, first time on baby aspirin and prednisone the entire cycle. I am hoping that makes all the difference. Though I have not tested + for any blood clotting, I have always had a clotty AF, some times large clots the size of a 50 cent piece or bigger, (sorry TMI) which can?t be good, so I will be asking my FS (she had mentioned something about Clexane injections after getting a BFP) if this may be a problem re implantation, and whether I can start the Clexane earlier. I am hoping it is my turn. God I have waited long enough.
rob: glad your dh is being so thoughtful, my dh isn't very supportive as if it was up to him we would have only had 2 kids, meanie!. he is doing this to keep me happy. i really don't know what he will do if this one doesn't work? i don't want to think about it. thanks for your support. good luck to you.
two mums: hope it's all going well and something is happening in there, ha ha. count down to tue, got everything crossed for you. xx
saph: glad u feelling better, so glad you've set some great goals for your weight loss. you're amazing. xxoo
smithy: AF is a nasty woman remember and she never does what we want. or very rarely anyway. good luck for FET in march, not long to go. hurry up AF and do what your told, ha ha. good luck and fingers crossed. hope all is fine with your flooded house.
missmagpie: glad embie is on board and hope she/ he is snuggling down for the next 9 months. see you in TWW
BDT: see you in TWW as well, glad all is going well. good luck to you and hoping for a BFP.
afm: well it seems my body is not doing as it is told either. i had my surge today so that means ov tue and should be FET on thur but FS is away so going to do it on friday morn now. just longer i have to wait. painful
but the thing is we go away for 4 nights camping again on fri so can't get much more relaxed than that.
i've got everything crossed, lots of praying and visualising. i am feeling really good. my little baby will be here in 9 months time.

every one else hi to you all im thinking of every one
PLEASE GIVE US SOME BFPS SOON
Babydreamtime - Good luck with your scan today. Hope all is on track
Twomums - happy jabbing and good luck with your scan
Smithy - glad you are travelling well. lol about the missmagpie train, all aboard!
JBM - hope all goes well on Friday. Camping does sound relax, enjoy
to Sara, mollygirl and eveyone else
AFM, am feeling quite relaxed at the moment although Ive got a bit of a head cold and sore throat, which Im not happy about. My DP was sick last week so have got it from him. I hope that doesnt affect my little embie and implantation.
Sorry I am at work so no personals. Just a quick one to say that we had the scan and couldnt see much of anything. Dr thought he was jumping the gun a bit having a scan on CD9 (after 5 days of stims) so I have to call at 11am to get her E2 levels and we will probably go in for another scan on Saturday which will be CD13. I think she will be on FSH for a while. Does anyone know if being on stims past day 14 or 15 is a bad sign? Hoping not. Kim was a bit upset she couldnt see any follicles yet... is this normal?
Baby DT - Thanks for your support and GL with your FET
Smithy - GL with AF and embies
Twomums - GL with scan etc. Hope you get that BFP, fingers crossed for you
Rob - So sorry for your embies but glad to see your still positive about moving forward
TrueBlue - GL my great friend and have fun TTC naturally. Everything is crossed for you and Billy
JBM - thanks for your support and goodluck with FET on Wed. Thinking of you and have everything crossed for you.
Tania - Congrats having one - hope it is a BFP.
Sorry if i have missed anyone - just there are so many in here now but I really am thinking of everyone, hoping we all get in the next few months.
AFM - Hoping that we have conceived naturally with AF due in a few days but have seen Dr Mac T yesterday and we are all set to start our next IUI and DH has to get two samples - so that will be interesting. But this may be the last IUI we do because Dr T is feeling that because DH sperm count is always so varied and up and down that perhaps we would have more chance of success with full blown IVF. Play it by ear I guess. I am in a good spot at the moment though because I suppose at least there is plans in place and moving ahead.
Hi Loops. We have exactly the same thing. DH's soldiers are up, then down. We had our 3rd IUI on Wed last week and like the nurses have said....we have 'Unexplained Infertility'. She said this is more annoying because they can't actually pinpoint why we are having trouble trying to fall pregnant! Arrrgghhhh!!!! Anyhoo GL with everything - hope you have a BFP naturally!
New person
I get there.
JBM & Aleenta
your way.
but so proud of my self for waiting and not jumping the gun lol like i usually do my plan was to hopefully be giving birth around xmas time BUT ITS ALL UP TO YOU AF 
in the next few months.
