Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
I have cancelled my cycle. I have decided that I won't be trying again. So will be donating my three embryos. I haven't decided how if it will be a private donation or anon.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
That must have been a very hard decision to make glorious & one that I am sure you didn't make lightly. Wishing you all the best for what life has in store for you xxx

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Glorious my heart goes out to you xxxxx I wish I could help you in some way to have that baby I wish all us girls could forgo this hard hard road and placea longed for child in each of our arms.
I am so proud of you for your absolute bravery in making such a tough decision. I cannot decide if I am weak or strong or just dumb for not being able to give up.
I wish you much peace.
Thanks for thinking of me sweet girls I'm hanging in there. Been bleeding heavy for 12 days straight and they have finally decided to give me a d&c on weds as little one is still hanging on after all this time according to my last scan.
Go figure they all couldn't hang on but the one who does, dosent make it.
It's all kinds of mental crazy right now :-/ .
It's weird but I'm kinda proud of it for hanging on :-/
But I can't handle it any more n need a d&c :-/.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Sarah, sorry to hear you need the d&c. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible. I found the d&c quite an easy process (physically). It's the emotional recovery that takes time (as I'm sure you'd have already guessed). This could give you the option for chromosomal testing, if you want that done?
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Thanks juniper xo
Hmm I'd like to get that done ... Is it expensive?
I've had a d&c before. I'm looking fwd to closure that's for sure as it's been a long process. And to stop bleeding! Yuk yuk and the fact it's a MC bleed I'll be glad to have it stop.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Hi Everyone, sorry have been a bit MIA at the moment.
Joe, not sure if you're still reading this thread but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and wishing you all the best and peace with things, however they may be right now.
Sarah, it is hard to resist swearing thinking about your situation but freaking hell. It just sounds so so hard, mentally and physically. I really admire your attitude and openness about how it feels for you. I can imagine you would be proud of that little fighter. Wishing you healing in your own time.
Joski, I just googled your condition and it looks very full on. Can you tell us more about it? What is your treatment? How are you feeling?
Pos, trying naturally even though you think "yeah right" is so great because it is telling your body you do believe in it, deep down. It is also your heart expressing itself, "this is what I want". I know it sounds a bit kind of spiritual and kooky but I saw a reiki lady a while back and I had all this chest pain and she said, that's your heart and your are not being open about your desires (which was for another baby). And I just broke down in tears and it was absolutely true. Also, I have a science major and I am quite sceptical!
Okay had better get going. I am fasting now for my lap tomorrow and I have to start decluttering because we are selling our house (and moving to a lovely house a few suburbs away - just bought it on Friday - very exciting and stressful!). Also, Juniper, could I be put on the list? I would be "recovering from lap" in the top group I think. And thanks also, I have been reading your checklist a lot!
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Sarah I had the chromosome testing done in August last year and it cost around $600-$700. Not sure if im pleased I had it done as I found out
there was nothing wrong with the baby and it my little girl I lost I'm still completely devastated and cry lots about it.
Will be back soon for more persies think I spelt that right
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Good morning Ladies, Happy Monday wishing you all a wonderful day filled with love, light and loads of baby dust
Glorious - wow what a tough desciion to make hun, so glad that you are ok with it I guess that makes something like this so much easier when you are at peace with it. GL for the future wishing you loads of love & happiness with your family
Sarah - all the best for your d&c on Wednesday, hope it brings you another few steps closer to some closure, sending big hugs
WW - GL for your lap today hope it all goes really well and you get nothing but positive news back and can get back on the TTC track soon. Thanks to for the encouragement I am very spiritual so I find all that amazing and inspiring too. I agree I dont accept we wont have a bub we will and it will be this year too. A friend told me to put it out to the universe I must write my wish down on paper being a little specific and then burn it outside so the wind carries it off and out in to the universe. So I am doing that this evening
Juniper - I have been thinking of you in your two week wait, hope you are doing well and hope you have some good news to share with us real soon!!
AFM - didn't sleep at all last night I do suffer with insomnia and last night was just one of those nights. I think it's the stress of coming to work you know the idea of it's Sunday first day of the working week tomorrow anyway hopefully soon the crappy boss will get his marching orders as the Directors do not like him and realise he is useless and just gets us girls to do his work for him. Had the bbq on saturday for SIL went worse than expected which is sad I just couldn't bring myself to join the conversation with all the women asking her so when are you due? what hospital are you going to? blah blah blah when the conversation started I excused myself and busied myself in the kitchen and then went and joined the guys and kids in the pool
I dont know if I am a bad person but I just can not face talking to her about it, I did hear her friend saying I as in ME would organise the baby shower not impressed im actually rather ****ed off
enough ranting........sorry Ladies
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Sarah, we were quote about $500, from memory. Not sure of the final cost (DH whisked all the bills away before I could see them because he knew I'd be upset). They don't do the testing automatically (they do some testing, but not karyotyping), so make sure you ask your Dr about it if you want it done.
worrywart, hope the lap goes smoothly tomorrow and you have a speedy recovery!
Positively, sorry to hear the BBQ didn't go so well. And I can't blame you for being angry with your sister's friend! I'd be peeved too! And, OMG, I can never get to sleep on Sunday night! Last night I went to bed at 11pm and got to sleep after 3am, then awake again at 5am, then struggling with alarm at 8:30am. Monday is the only day I have to come into the office and I'm sure the entire universe is determined to keep me from sleeping on Sunday nights!!
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Enjoy your day Ladies, wishing you all a good one!
Juniper - Oh wow I finally know someone who has the Sunday sleep issue like me. Do you also find that Monday you are ok and manage to cope fine with the day not too tired then you sleep well Monday night however Tuesday you REALLY struggle to get up and going and the whole day is a massive effort to concentrate and stay alert grrrrr so annoying.
AFM - af is due next Monday so wishing she doesn't arrive and my TTC journey can come to an end. Did any of you watch 60 minutes on Sunday night? the Mary Coustas story on her fertility struggle, it made me cry so moving and wow she finally got what she so longed for. Do not think I could do IVF 20 times though, firstly I could not afford to and secondly I think it would be far too draining all round. But go on them they stuck at it and they now have fulfilled a dream
