Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Hello hello lovely ladies,
How are we all after a long weekend? Has anyone has ever seen the GIF of the pollar bear dragging itself along the ice at a glacial pace? Yep, that was me this morning getting ready for work.
Mrs O'M - Congratulations!! Absolutely thrilled for you and best of luck for a healthy 9 monthes ahead.
Joe - DH and I have only told our parents and as this was is our first attempt, we said something like "You know we have been trying for some time now and we have learned that we our best chance to have a baby is via IVF. So we start treatment in January and should it be unsuccessful, we will do a Frozen Embryo Transfer in February" and then of course explained what all of that meant. DH's parents were already familiar, as DH's brother and SIL have also been through IVF [twins born in Dec] however my parents are completely new and asked questions to be sure they understood what was about to happen. Now I get daily texts from my mum asking how I am feeling and she has to be reminded that nothing is certain yet. Bless my beautiful mothers heart. I also told my bestie, I just couldn't not tell her that something so huge was happening in my life. I have found the support from everyone invaluable. Especially now in the TWW when meds are doing awful things to me and I am absolutely not myself.
Amy - Best of luck with your EC tomorrow! Sounds like you're doing beautifully. Well done you!
Kel08 - Welcome! Lovely bunch of supportive ladies here . Always a great place to come and chat. Also, looks like we would be getting our results around the same time. I am currently 11dp3dt [ET on 17/1]. Fingers crossed for us both!
Positively - How are you doing? Thinking of you x GL for TTC in Feb.
Joski - How's Bali going? Hope you are feeling relaxed and refreshed and have enjoyed a beverage or two in your travels.
Emma - Sorry to hear about your reaction to the injections and I hope it doesnt get any worse! It's horrible to go through, just remember the pay off will be worth it.
WW - I've heard about Her. Meaning to go check it out. Enjoy the mental break from TTC, it's amazing the relief a little break can bring.
How are my fellow TWWers? N2L, Kel08, Catyo and Juniper, any symptoms? When do you all get BT results? Is anyone going to POAS?
AFM, Crinone has me feeling like absolute rubbish. Particularly over the last 4 or 5 days. Found myself having to take frequent disco naps just to get through the day, no idea how I am going to get through a work day without one. I am insanely bloated and constipated and my breats ache, particularly when I roll over during the night. I also occasionally feel some cramping and/or tightness in my abdomen and occasionally find myself short of breathe. This is the worst I have felt physically since we started treatment. I know many of these symptoms can be pregnancy related and for me the bloating & breast ache can be AF related, so i am not allowing myself to get my hopes up. I am fighting every urge to POAS but honestly I just dont think I will be able to resist. One of the reasons being because I want the moment to be between myself and DH. I hate that I will be the third person to know the results, after a lab tech and the person who calls to tell me. Then I will have to wait the entire day to tell him because I dont want to tell him over the phone. I want us to be able to embrace and cry [which will happen either way, let's face it]. I want the moment to be ours. I really don't like my chances of being able to hold it together at the office when I get the results. Some part of me wants to have at least this part of TTC to be traditional, where I am the first to know and I get to tell my husband in person. My BT is Thursday, AF is due Friday, trying to maintain sanity but the outlook is grim. Thank goodness for DH and our little fur baby who seem to have a way of making me laugh when I don't even want to smile.
End Rant.
Sending everyone love and light. Have a wonderful week
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Hi Sgronan!
Hopefully we will be belly buddies! I have my last pregnyl tonight (thank god). So I can't poas for a few more days yet, but I would like to just before my BT so that my husband and I can find out together. 😊 I might do one on Sunday, the pregnyl should mostly be out of my sytem by then. My bt is on the 4th, so 1 more week to go!! I have everything crossed that we both get BFP!!!
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
oh Sarah, my heart is breaking for you. I am crossing fingers, toes and anything else that can be crossed. I hope you got a positive result at your scan earlier today xxxx
Sorry just a quick one, just got results from the docs and happy to move to the BFP list catyo, I have no idea how many days post ovulation I am and will have a dating scan in a couple of weeks as I couldnt even guess how long I am along.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Hey thank you all so much girls xoxo
Ive been in this thread for so long I couldn't help but come back.
The ultrasound showed it's still in there eventhough I don't understand how!
They said it's just a wait and see game now as they don't know.... More torture! But I'm amazed it's still in there.
I just got to crawl in a hole for a while!
What a journey.

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Oh Sarah, how stressful, I hope all goes well, just remember that miracles does happen, for everyone I will be praying for you.
JoeSpratt - I cant really answer your question. When we had the first cycle of IVF last July, I only told my parents, sisters, and hubby told a couple of friends. We don't see much hubbys family so, no point in telling them.
Amy & Emma09 - I am glad you are doing excellent! Good luck with EPU
Sgronan - I hope you have all those symptoms because you are pregnant
AFM: No symptoms at all, this is just another natural cycle, but still feel I have to bd around O day or I will feel guilty that I didn't even try... So, no blood test for me, I normally POAS 12dpo or 14 dpo which is the day when I expect AF to arrive. Last cycle I did POAS 10dpo and then I didn't POAS again, I felt no point in doing it...
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Wow! So much happening that I will have to catch up on. We arrive home early on Thursday morning- so only today and tomorrow left for some serious sun baking action.
Amy, we are cycle buddies! I'm not sure what is happening. Will go for a cycle tracking blood test when we get back. Sort of put everything on hold so we could enjoy our holiday without the stress and have a few drinks.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Oh Sarah I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through wish I could give you a big hug. You're in my thoughts and im sending love & light your way. Hope that little bean hangs on tight for you. Take care xx
Emma - fantastic news for you. GL for the epu will be thinking of you!
Amy - all the best for your epu so great that your folks are paying such a lovely blessing. Sadly we just have to save and do without but it will be all worth it
Joe - sorry but I don't have experience with telling the folks. My Mum hasn't spoken to me for years but then she hasnt to all the siblings except one. And the inlaws are in the UK.
But I would think perhaps when the moment feels right amd everyone is nice and relaxed just say something along the lines of "we have something to share with you, weve been trying to conceive for a while so were currently undergoing fertility treatment" then make sure you mention you would like them to please respect your privacy and not tell anyone. I'm not great with things like this but hopefully I've given you some ideas to start with. GL
Afm - feeling sore & sorry for myself. Had to start root canal treatment today after what started as a toothache got much worse. So I'm on antibiotics etc and have 2 more appts to go one of which will be during my FET cycle. The dentist assures me all meds used these days are safe for pregnant women so I should be fine during my cycle only thing I need to worry about is the X ray oh and the cost so darn expensive. Has anyone else had dental work done during a medicated cycle? I'm worried any advice appreciated
Love & light to you all, GL and lots of sprinklings of baby dust xx
