Im day 1 =) fet this cycle

Positively, not sure what it's called but I'll let you know when I pick it up later this week :)

GL TT40!

Hi Guys,
Just a quick note to say I am recovering really well and didn't have to lose any tubes, thank goodness. Endo was extensive though and the whole right ovary had to be taken apart and stitched up again. I was under 1.5 hours. I feel pretty good though.
Hope everyone else well as can be.
Sarah, I really hope that things get sorted between you and your DF. External stressors in your life are so overwhelming right now.
Joe, I have been thinking about you and how you said you didn't want to be on the list anymore ... and just hoping that the counselling helps you work through things to where you are feeling more clarity about whether to keep trying or not, or what to do at all. It is so hard.
MissB, GL for your cycle and the CDs sound like the great idea.
GL TT40 for your FET!
Pos, thanks for the reference to C&B. I think I'll give it a go, though I am not the best with downloading things.
WW

TT40 - GL with your FET cycle hope it brings you a BFP at the end of the cycle!

WW - So glad to hear you are feeling good after the lap and that the surgery was a success for you. I am terrible with downloading stuff I am such a techno phobe :) but seriously this is easy to do

Juniper - when are you testing? FX

Ladies wishing you all a lovely day, baby dust to us all x

WW, glad to hear it went well and you aren't feeling too bad. Put your feet up and rest as much as you can until you're recovered. xx

Positively, I'll only test if I think there's some chance of a BFP, otherwise I'll just wait it out. Earliest testing would be 11dpo...

Oh thanks for your positive words girls, yes the stress has been phenomenal that we have been under! ... Luckily DF and I are working it out now. Phew! I felt like I was losing everything and every one in my whole life.
D&c went fine yesterday. DF took me and was supportive which was good. Between us He's been a real insensitive jerk when I was struggling so bad before!

But I'm feeling a lot better now after the d&c like I've got some closure now and can move on. I'm re evaluating my life and getting my happy back!
I'm getting a puppy for starters! :-) and I'm going to mummy it to death hee hee.
And I'm doing anything to get me happy.
So put me back on this list juniper please :-) waiting for AF"

But my ttc efforts are going to be secondary to getting happy I've decided. If I want to have a drink or 2 here n there on weekends or something I'm allowing it! I've been so strict on myself for too long!
I'm still alive n kicking!!!
Lots of luck n love girls and miss b a ton of baby dust for your new cy!

Oh and positively ttc, I love your attitude! Keep it up I'm sure it helps :-)

Worrywart, I'm glad they got all that endo out sounds like you should be nice n cleaned out in there now ... Rest up and I hope it clears the way for your miracle :-)

Sarah, that sounds like a fabulous plan! Have you picked out a puppy? Do you know what type? I'm glad to hear you and your partner are working through the issues and that he was there for you yesterday. :hug:

Sarah I'm so pleased you and your DF are working it out, my dp was not supportive at all either so then we just have to work out our way of dealing with it which sucks. Great news about puppy and a fantastic attitude I like it xxxx

WW really pleased your feelilng ok after lap, rest and take care of your self xxx

Joe good luck with the counselling hopefully you can find some peace with everything, completely understand with not being able to give up yet I cant either, praying you get your happy ending with a bfp soon xxx
afm: Juniper could you please put me down as CD2 today please, I had my trigger on Tuesday morning and iui on tue afternoon then dtd on Wednesday and was supposed to dtd last night
but had an argument instead:-( men are insensitive idiots sometimes

Oh yes I have juniper :-D ... She is a red coloured Cavalier king Charles , a typical cute poochy pup hee hee ... Big eyes and fluffy big ears! I've gone a bit over board getting her puppy stuff" lol... Like I've got her some little doggy clothes! :o now that's funny! But I will stick to the story of they are for my 9yr old daughter to dress her in sometimes ha ha and I can secretly laugh :lol:
You know they even got doggy sunnies to sheild their eyes at the beach?!
Well as u can guess this is a "baby" I can't miscarry and definitely helping me get through!
We will be good for eachother!

I hear you rai , DF actually had the balls to try n tell me I could not get a puppy!
After all I've been through I told him he has no choice and he should be supportive of me doing whatever it takes to get me back to my happy place in life!

Sorry about you not being able to DTD because of an argument rai. We have done that a few times too and it makes me more mad at DF!

I so could go on about his insensitive side atm! For instance the last scan I had I was pretty bummed but coping ok until we got home and I opened my door and hadn't even got out when DF decided to yell at me because he looked at my car tyres and told me they needed pumping up and went on to tell me how I'm so lazy at doing that! Did not go down well lol. Seriously.that's a time to hassle me?!

Any way I'm picking myself up now :-) I have 3 weeks to prepare for my new "baby" Ruby ;)

There might be something in the water? DH has been a bit trying this week too...

Sarah, aw, Ruby is going to be such a loveable companion! We had a tri-colour Cav many years ago and she was the most affectionate dog we ever had! Unfortunately she died fairly young (congestive heart failure - the breed can be prone to it), but that wouldn't stop us getting another - they such lovely dogs!

Sarah, Ruby sounds just what you need so cute and so pleased your happy, I have been trying to get my dp to let me get a dog and he wont let me:-( I will have to keep working on him
if I annoy him enough I usually get what I want lol xxx

Juniper are you testing tomorrow? How are you feeling? any symptoms?

rai, I tested this morning because I've been getting some nausea, but BFN. Must be coming down with something instead... Would have been a miracle to get a BFP just 3 months after the last one, considering it was 23 months between the previous two...

Juniper its still early so I'm not giving up on your bfp yet there is still a chance and they say you have a better chance of a bfp after a miscarriage so I will be checking
in the morning again praying and hoping and have everything crossed for your bfp xxxx

I won't be testing again unless AF is late...

Juniper completely understand have everything crossed twice AF is late xxxx

Woke up this morning with a light bleed (red). Looks like AF is trying to be early again. Last cycle I had a similar bleed the night of 11dpo, then nothing 12dpo and AF showed the morning of 13dpo (due 14dpo, so 1 day early). A little freaked out to have this happen 2 cycles in a row (or possibly worse if AF starts even earlier this time). Worried it's the start of perimenopause... Or a sign of something else being seriously wrong to make my LP shorter...

Juniper a couple of times now I have got af on day 26 or 27 and it freaked me as well then it went back to day 28, really hope this happens to you and
nothing else is wrong xxx

Hi Ladies, Happy Monday and for those of you in W.A happy public holiday :)

Sarah - Ruby sounds soooo cute all the best with your new furry baby hoping she brings you lots of joy and kisses and furry cuddles

Rai - if you want a dog then get one personally I don't think a home is a home without at least on doggie in it and it's so good for kids to grow up with an animal

Juniper - so sorry to hear you have had some bleeding. As Rai said i hope the short cylce it just part of an unusual cycle and goes away soon and you get back to a longer LP. I too have had short LP at times and then it's gone back to what it should be. You're the same age as me......very young! lol
It is a worry though I am taking Vitex to assist with a normal cycle and hormonal balance my last cycle was 28 days and just started AF yesterday after a 27 day cycle :( however i do have a friend who has really short cycles of 22 to 23 days and at 37 she conceived after 5 months of trying

I am being naughty and wishing my life away I can't wait to start our FET cycle which is next month, roll on I say

Ladies wishing you all a really lovely day, baby dust, love & light to us all xx

Juniper I just noticed your CD1, I'm so sorry af came wish the stupid witch would stay away for you xxx

Thanks rai. xx

Having a sucky day. AF pain is getting worse each cycle and my feet are killing me (was supposed to start seeing the podiatrist today, but had to postpone because of AF). Hobbling about like an 80yo woman and trying to keep up with a 3yo...
[/end whinge]

Hoping the podiatrist can help next week and then I guess it's probably time to see the GYN about my endo again... For some reason the idea of another lap scares me this time (it didn't the last two times), so I've been putting it off, but I can't keep doing this every month...

Juniper - i second Rai's sentiments "wish the stupid witch would stay away for you"

Happy Tuesday all, love and light and LOTS of baby dust

AFM - a little out of sorts which i think is my norm when AF has recently started. the realization that another month has passed with no BFP is always hard but onwards and upwards. My calender this month says “To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping” I am going to keep on stepping until I get my BFP!!!!

That really sucks Juniper, what a pain for you both physically and mentally.....hope it eases for you until you can get to your appt next week

Sorry you are feeling scared about doing another lap, that sucks too! GL with that appointment, I agree you can't keep going on like this best to get it sorted

Wishing your day gets better hun xx :hug:

Sorry Ladies, quick question...... AF up until about 9/10 months ago used to last pretty much 4 days each cycle however in the last 9 or so months that has changed to 2 days i spot for a couple of days prior and a day after the 2 days of AF

It worries me that its changed, I have asked my FS and he reckons my bloods are perfect when i do a stimulated cycle so my hormones are all doing what they are supposed to and he said that a 2 day period is normal. I am 37 so maybe that's a factor too

Has this happened to any of you with AF as you have got older? or has it happened at some point in your cycle when you were perhaps younger? just trying to work it out, it likely doesn't mean much and I guess I should just go with what FS is saying

I was told that i can expect to start menopause at 45 years of age :( great!!

Your opinions on this would be appreciated, thanks!

Thanks Positively. xx I'll be interested to hear if you get another explanation for the AF change. Mine has gotten lighter and shorter over the last 8 months or so (from 5 days down to 3-4 and big decrease in heaviness). I'd love to hear an explanation that doesn't include perimenopause (my current theory for me because my AMH is very low and my last AFC was only 2)...

Hi ladies,

Back again, after the madness that is working keeping me away from all of you. Have briefly caught up on all your news.

AFM, blood tests show no O yet this month and it's CD19, so maybe didn't happen or maybe bt missed it :shrug: feeling a bit over the whole process atm to be honest. Anyone else ever feel like you just keep going round and round in circles?? Not letting it get me down, just a bit deflated.

On a side note, another Cavi owner here- we had a beautiful Black and Tan called Charlie, unfortunately he was killed by a cane toad when he was 2.5 yo. Still miss him terribly every day. Enjoy baby Ruby Sarah, I'm sure she will have a gorgeous personality.

Hi Ladies, Happy hump day to you all

Ive changed my name profile name was driving to work thinking....as you do........and decided I want to change my name from TTC to Going to conceive. I need to be more positive and optimistic so I thought a name change to reflect this could be a good start!!

Wishing you all a great day

Joski great to have you back!!

Love & light xx

Joski - meant to say I do often feel like I am going round and round in circles, i certianly feel that way around AF time each month. It does pass thank goodness I think once I have accepted that I didn't get my BFP yet so time to get back in the saddle and try again. So you are not alone, you are completely normal and good on you for not letting it get you down. I somehow also manage to pick myself up dust myself off and keep going, so grateful for that strength!

GL hope your body starts behaving itself for you :)

Joski, when we were in that stage of doing cycle after cycle, there used to be a personal trainer business in the building where I work and I had to pass it on my way to the toilets (and when you're drinking 3L per day for IVF, you go to the toilet a lot). They used to have a blackboard outside their door and often had Einstein's definition of insanity written on it (doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome) and after a few cycles it was a very hard thing to see day after day... BUT, we did eventually get our different outcome... and I can hear her in the next room spitting water, so I'd better run...

Aw juniper sorry about darn AF xoxo
I can say that my AF used to go for 5 days with spotting on 6th. But this last year it's been more like 3days and a lot lighter. I've got an AMH of about 5 last test last year.
This mc I've bled all month! Noo!
So sick of the mess by now. It's only spotting though.

Well my pups name is Ebony now as she is a black one as they sold the red by mistake! But I'm still happy!

Not sure where to from here. I'm kinda scared to ttc atm :-/ before I was like lets get pg ASAP but now I'm a chicken!
Like lets put another embryo in my womb of death! Lol like I'm so positive right now can't u tell?!

I've got more puregon in my fridge waiting patiently.

Saw my healer/dr. Today, he asked me how long we been ttc and when I said over 2 yrs he said sometimes it's just not meant to be" ... Not what I want to hear that's for sure!!
Life is all upside down n back the front right now.
All I wish for is a baby :-/

Joski, round n round is making me dizzy!

Baby dust girls xxxxxx

Thanks you juniper and positively (love the name change!) for your kind words, nice to know I'm supported by you ladies.

Sarah, it does make you dizzy, doesn't it? Certainly not what you want to hear from you dr. Give yourself time - start again when you feel ready, that moment might take you by surprise but you will know when it feels right. :hugs:
Btw Ebony is a lovely name, bet she looks like my Charlie did, all black with little brown eyebrows?

Love to all xx
