hi guys, sending some good vibes to all today, love to all too.
nothing new for me.
i hate waiting but it has been relaxing not doing fet cycles, good to have a break. physically and emotionally.
xxoo
Hi ladies,
Not much from me, I am feeling a bit flat, thinking about the devastation and loss of life because of these terrible bush fires. My heart goes out to all involved. Kind of puts things into perspective. We have also just had confirmation from the vet that our gorgeous 4 year old shar-pei (you know the rolly dogs) Bu has agressive cancer and has limited time left. The vet has said prepare for the worst. He is so beautiful and sweet and it is just so sad.
I am just hanging in there, I have been doing OPKs and got my first ever +OPK yesterday morning. So DH and I have been/will be busy DTD. For the first time ever we tried PreSeed. You never know. Now I at least have a good expected AF due date and can think about my next FET.
JBM, good luck with your new course.
Aleenta, so sorry to hear your news, I was feeling so positive for you. GL for your next cycle.
Mollygirl, that is great news, there is nothing better than a holiday (except for a BFP) I hope you get both. Where are you planning to go?
Sara, hi hope you are going well.
Musik, welcome hope you have success with this cycle.
Rob, really sorry that AF arrived. Glad you are looking forward and fingers crossed for the next cycle. I have always had a month off after a stim cycle. Will you do a natural or HRT FET?
Mich, welcome, GL with your first FET.
Tania, so sorry, big hugs, as Sara said, will you be trying a different protocol? GL I hope next one is the one.
To everyone else, hope you are all travelling well whereever you are in your cycles. Hugs to all.
Hi girls,
JBM - Good luck with your course. Sounds like fun!
Sara - Ive done 2 down reg cycles and am now waiting for FS to suggest my next option which will produce both better quality & quantity. Thanks for your well wishes.
Musik - Good luck with your upcoming cycle. Fingers crossed this is the one!
Rob - sorry to hear AF arrived. Glad your doing ok. Hope your able to have a FET this month.
Mich - Hi and Welcome :-) Good luck with your FET.
Babydreamtime - Sorry to hear about your dog. They are part of the family so its very hard when something happens to them. I also lost a dog to cancer and its awful to watch them go downhill so fast. Am thinking of you. Good luck with DTD!
Spring - Take care of yourself and see ya back here soon :-)
Dutchie - Hope your doing well.
Aleenta - Sorry to hear it was a BFN. Good luck with your transfer this week.
AFM, its tragic whats happening here in Victoria. My DP and I got caught up in one a small suburban fire as my DP sister's house was under threat. Her and the kids had to evacuate and we rushed to her place to see if we could help. 6 homes were lost in the area but thats nothing in comparison to other areas.
Im waiting to hear from my FS as to what my next cycle will be as I dont want to do another down reg. I should be getting AF either this Saturday or Sunday.
Hello to everyone else. Hope your all doing well.
Take care,
Tania
:hello:just wanted to pop in and say hi ive been lurking on you all,and i hope to see some bfp very soon.
afm.. going well going to do our fet in march and cant wait :clap: fet # 1 with 2 embies hopefully a natural cycle:pray: we have 5 frostys left so we;ll see how we go
take care girls xx
Hi all,
Not sure yet if I know some of you from my previous haunts in here. I was LT TTC up till April 07 when I was lucky enough to become pregnant with my daughter. We are now hoping to add to our family and as it took 10years (and 1month) to conceive her I think of myself as a LT'er still although not technically this time. Anyhow, hope I am welcome and looking forward to knowing you all.
Today I went in for a natural cycle FET of two embryos. I was soooo happy to find out that they only had to thaw those 2 and we still have one more left on ice. Of course I'm hoping we wont need that lil one yet but it's great to know we have back up! I'm surprised how strong my feelings are all over again.
Good luck for everyone cycling at present. :goodluck:
Sazz
;) oh SAZZ yes i do remember you hun.
and i wish you all the luk in the world with your 2 little embies.
that is so good about the 2 thawing for you
ill be following you very closely
Hi Sazz and welcome back :D Thats great news about your frozen embies. Lets hope that they are snuggling in nicely! :crossfingers:
Hello to everyone else. Hope your doing well.
AFM, just called the clinic and my FS has put me on a flare cycle instead of a down reg. Ive done 2 down regs now so didnt want to do another. He has put me on 450 iui of gonal. I was on 225 last time time for 7 days and then 375 iui for another 4 days which only produced 1 egg. So I am :pray: I get more this time. I am continuing with my acupuncture and herbs too.
Take care girls,
Tania
All I can say is that I am over all of it today!! AF arrived yesterday - never used to get bad AF pain but since taking all the drugs, I'm having shockers!! - why is that? and how do i change my mood thingy now....it's showing as cheerful but I certainly am not!
Hi everyone,
My it is quite in here, seems like most are over in the TWW.
Tania, that is wonderful news, I hope the new protocol gives you much better results. GL
Sazz, welcome and GL in the TWW, fingers crossed for you
Smithy, hi, I am hanging out for a Feb/Mar FET too, just waiting on AF. GL
AFM, I have TOO much time on my hands, have spent the last few days Googling IVF forums and reading every post and it is doing my head in. I hate this waiting waiting waiting and I just can't let it go. It is so terrible to wish the time away but I can't help myself. And as work is quite, there is nothing to distract me. What am I to do? I just want AF to arrive so my FET can start, so I can have my scans and BTs waiting for O, so I can have my ET, so I can POAS and have my BT so I can get my BFP. It is crazy crazy. I know I shouldn't be obsessing about this, but I can't stop. I might have to give BB a break for a while, at least until I get closer to my first scan. I don't know what else to do. Is this a sympton of the really LTTTC. I have passed my 4 year mark. It has taken over my life. I just want it to be my turn...
Sorry for the vent.
Hope everyone is well and coping better than me. Hugs to all.
Hi Girls,
Well I am over the moon today, yay.
Just heard from clinic and FS has said I can go straight on to an FET cycle providing everything is ok with my bloods after last months stim cycle. So onwards and upwards.
All I know is at this stage I start having daily bloods on Monday. Anyone that can give me any info on this type of cycle would be appreciated as I have only had 1 stim cycle.
Anyway cograts to all the BFP's and for all of us others this is going to be our month.
Aleenta - Are you doing anything this month hun ???
Take care everyone xox
Babydreamtime - I totally hear what your saying and my journey has been no where near as long as yours. I stress because of my age even though there are many whom are older than me on the same journey. Its such a hard road with one minute waiting for AF to arrive to commence a cycle and then :pray: she doesnt come when we have an embie on board. Its forever a waiting game. I too have felt that its taken over my life and I cant seem to think of anything else, its obsessive but when its something that we have all yearned for all our whole lives, its hard not too. If you need time out from here, then take it. I dont have any other advice other than there are lots of loving and caring people here whom offer lots of support for when you need it. Take care of yourself.
Baby2bee - I too have noticed Ive been experiencing more AF pain since commencing IVF. Hang in there.
Rob - thats GREAT news! Its always good not to have to wait. Good luck :D
Babydreamtime - I forgot to mention, vent ALL you want. Thats what we are here for :D
Hi Girls,
Baby Dreamtime :hug: hope you can start your FET soon, thinking of you.
Miss Magpie: That sound slike a good idea - hoping this type of cycle gives you a better result
B2B - yes have noticed the same with AF, was wondering if I had forgotten how bad AF can be as I was on the pill in between but don't think I ever had it so bad.
Rob: good luck with FET - onwards and upwards sounds great.
Aleenta: really sorry about the BFN - wishing you good luck with FET.
Sazz: Welcome
:hello: Smithy & JBM
Sara
Hi all be trying to keep busy as not cycling at the moment.
B2B - my Af after the last cycle was so bad that I almost had to come home from work because I couldn't stand up or move around and being a teacher that is kind of important.
I just have a small question. I am on a low dose pill for the first time in about 4 years is spoting normal or should I contact my clinic about it? It is not heavy more a smear. I dont know it has been so long since I have been on the pill I cant remember what is was like.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Hi
BDT - so sorry about your dog. I totally understand how you feel - don't apologise for venting that's what we are for! I constantly worry about my age and how long this whole thing is taking. I think the hardest thing is not knowing how long the timeline is as everyone's journey is different. I often wish that someone could just tell me how long it would take and then I could manage my expectations. Waiting and hoping each month is the worst part.
Miss magpie - Great news about your new flare cycle, fingers crossed you are endowed with lots of beautiful eggs
B2B - sorry AF is painful - I have found exactly the same thing, the drugs make it horrendous whereas before I didn't really notice it
Hiya Rob - Great to hear your news and so happy you are straight back into FET. Thanks for asking about me, yes I am back on an FET too - so looking forward to hanging out in 2WW again with you ;)
Hey Sara - thanks and hope all is good with you
Hi to Smithy and JBM too - positive words from you girls is always good too :hello:
Saph - just read your post - yes I think that sounds pretty normal and what used to happen to me, but as always if in doubt ring your clinic - that is what they are there for
AFM - Scan tomorrow morning - day 9 to check I am on track for FET next week - my last 2 frosties. Not feeling all that confident this month - not sure why, maybe it's just I think I couldn't be that lucky on last frosties....Also I have very busy March coming up with OS work trip and holiday combined so I know I can't possibly have OPU then....anyway constant issue I face - looking too far forward rather than facing one day at a time.
My heart goes out to anyone affected my bushfires here in Vic, such a tragedy and a humble reminder of how precious life is. Love and hugs to all xx
hi ladies just popping in to say im thinking of you all and i know its tough! but my thoughts are with you, even though i am now on the otherside so to speak i still feel for all LTTTC'ers, you never know i could be back here again!
Hi ladies
Baby Dreamtime - so sorry you are feeling so low at the moment:hug: Thinking of you and understand how you feel even though I haven't been waiting as long as you. Chin up, you will get there soon I am positive. xo
B2B - sorry again to you for your BFN. Thinking of you.
Aleenta - good luck with everything.
I'm sorry I have probably missed people but am thinking of everyone and wishing you all the very best.
AFM - waiting, waiting for March so as I can start rnd 2 of IUI. I also send all my best wishes and sympathies for anyone and everyone affected by the Vic bushfires.
:hello: girls i hope you all having an ok week.
ALEENTA... hunnny i hope your scan went well ,thinking of you
girls im thinking of you all , and also :pray:ing for all those affected by the fires
LETS GET SOME BFPS GIRLS :dance:
Good afternoon girls,
Hope your all travelling well.
Its very hazy in Melbourne city today and smokey out at my place in Ringwood. My thoughts are with all those affected by this terrible disaster.
Aleenta - hope your scan went well today and all is on track for your FET :D
Saph - I havent experienced any spotting while on the pill in the past. Ive recently done 2 down reg cycles too without any spotting. Maybe you should call the clinic for peace of mind.
21 - hope all is going well :D
:hello: smithy, loops and Sara
AFM - am waiting PATIENTLY for AF to arrive which should be this w/e so I can start my flare cycle.
Have a good weekend girls.
Cheers,
Tania
Hi gang,
Thanks for welcoming me. I kind of feel like an intruder!!!
Hope everyone in vic is travelling ok with these awful fires.
Aleenta hope your scan went well today. Is yours a natural FET like mine? It is a bit unreal isnt it without all the drama and fanfare of a stim cycle.
MissMagpie, hope AF behaves herself for you this weekend. Not long till you can get going now with lots more lovely eggies. ? what is flare and down reg? Is that the same as stim and nat??
BDT I agree with you wholeheartedly about the waiting and it sending you crackers!!!! I had to have a break a few years back as it was so all consuming. I think I came back to it with a much better frame of mind, knowing that I did still have a life apart from TTC. Vent all you like, we are the ones to understand!!!
B2B I always had AF like you mentioned anyway but yes I think is is far worse after a stim cycle!!! Those drugs have a lot to answer for. Pain + extra yuck. I think that's pretty normal.
Rob, that's great news about going straight to FET! Ask me anything you like. I've had 2 now.
Loops, halfway to march now!!! Does that help any LOL?
AFM I am exactly one week away from testing. I am having my bloods done a day early as it will fall on a weekend and they are sent to adelaide from here which delays by a day already. SO next fri I will be POAS cause buggered if I am waiting for the results the following day. AAArrrgh a whole week away still ....
New thread time ladies!
