Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014

[Sarah4kurt13]

You girls are the best thank you so much for your kind words to me at this incredibly awful time xoxo as soon as I knew I just wanted to run back here to the only people I know understand.
I don't want to talk to the outside world yet! Been hiding!
People like to try n cheer you up by saying dumb things like there's next time (next time freaks me out about now! I haven't even finnished bleeding!) Or be thankful you got one ( like I'm not thankful! Doesent make this loss any less painful!)
Any way that's why I'm hiding because then I feel bad for not wanting to hear their well meaning words I know nothing will help me :-(.
Healthy BFPs that's what I wish for us girls in here xoxox

Sarah, we haven't told anyone about either BFP/miscarriage since DD was born for much the same reasons - they wouldn't understand and I don't want to hear the (unintentionally) hurtful words. I had a really hard time with our mm/c and it took me a full 12 months to really move past it. If others had known, no doubt they'd have been telling me I should be "over it" much earlier... but sometimes these things just take a lot longer than you expect. I hope your physical recovery is quick so you can get started on the emotional recovery. xx

And I hope your DH is coping okay too. Mine never talks about our angels, but I know he was hurt every time.

[Amy_jellybean]

Oh Sarah im so sorry honey Life can be so cruel sometimes!

Juniper - Sorry to see it's cycle day 1 for you love xxx

AFM - Rang the clinic today and they said we have 4 blastys that have been frozen! Woo hoo!!! Not feeling anything really yet (as expected considering im only 2dp5dt). Hubby goes back to work tomorrow, roll on next week! xxx

[Mrs O'M]

Hi all, the October belly buddies thread is now up, so I will move over there to hang out, but will be stalky stalky in here to see how you are all travelling.

Thanks so much for all the awesome support, I wish you all the best in your ttc journeys and hope to see lots more BFPs in here soon.

Congrats to catyo and Joski for your RAK status ladies, that's super awesome!!!

[Emma09]

Out of 9 embryos PGD tested, only 1 was normal.
I have had that transferred, but nothing in the freezer.
I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm devastated :-(

[Amy_jellybean]

Oh em like I said on facebook om so sorry you only got one we alwayd had terrible fertilisation rates and it is devastating, I really hope this is the one for you xx

[kel08]

Hi Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It's terrible that we have to go through these things.

Emma09, just remember, it only takes 1 to make a miracle happen. Stay positive! Fx that this is 'the one'!

[PositivelyGTC]

Hi Ladies, Happy Thursday to you all!

Sarah - I am so very sorry for your loss, I wish I could do something to take that pain away. I wish you a speedy physical recovery.
Go easy on yourself and allow yourself to grieve as long as necessary. These painful times are never easy and I am not sure we ever get over such a huge loss. However I hope that your pain eases as time goes by. Hope DH is ok too, they suffer too however they usually don't show it do they

Kel - a very big CONGRATS to you and DH, wishing you a truly wonderful 9 month journey and a healthy and happy bub at the end

Emma - GL hun I hope this little embie is a sticky one and you get your BFP, I know it's so hard but try your best to be optimistic, the universe will reward you

Amy - Fab news re getting 4 frozen embies....lets hope you don't need them though!

Rai - So sorry I really hope your FS is wrong and you do O this month

WW - GL with stopping the caffeine fix...so very hard. Ooh so you are good at interpreting dreams that is awesome I am a big dreamer I have them most nights and they are so vivid I recall them for years but I don't think I am good at interpreting them.
Did you find anything more about the wheatgrass? let us know

AFM - Dad doesn't have cancer he has a hernia in his esophagus which has been causing the symptoms which are the same as cancer symptoms. They do need to operate though to remove it and he needs to have his leg amputated. His Doctors are very worried about his chance of a full recovery because of his diabetes so we are waiting to see how it all goes. If we need to go over at short notice we can. I have just found out about another 2 women I know who are pregnant that brings it to 9 women I know now soooo hard! Lots of baby showers ahead I am already starting to think of excuses...lol
We have decided to do our next FET cycle in April so this month as a break and next month too. I have just started taking Vitex each morning and will do so until we start FET, fingers crossed it does me some good. Moods are up and down at the mo' one minute I accept I am not pregnant and think onwards and upwards and other times I am so sad and feel so despondent. Hope things improve

Love and light and lots of baby dust to you all xx

Emma09 - I am so sorry that only 1 embryo was normal, like everyone said, hopefully that's the one

Positively - I hope your dad recovers well. What is vitex for?

WW - I know how hard is to quit caffeine, I have been caffeine free for almost a year, but I remember when I quit I had terrible headaches for a week or so. After that was all good, I never craved it again. What is wheatgrass good for?

AFM - I have an appointment on Monday to see a new FS, I want to ask her about tests like nk cells, could somebody tell me what other tests I should be asking for?

[Amy_jellybean]

Hi everyone just popping to say a quick hello. Nothing much happening here, boobies are sore and veiny but that could be a sign of the pessaries :/

Catyo can you pls update me on the list hun, im actually 4dp5dt xxx

[~TT40~]

All about me post...(normal). I had a us today to see if I am ovulating naturally....nothing at all on left. Then she looked to the right and went ...oh...very busy? With a worried look on her face. I said, isn't that good? And after some measurements etc, I have two follies at 10mm. So not one deffinently going to ovulate, but two that are exactly the same. She said that's not to say nothing is going to happen, but she can't say if something absolutely will. I'm to do wee sticks to see if that shows.
But it's most likely I will need to go on Clomid... At first I thought it would just dry up my milk, but the nurse I talked to said it goes through the milk and Spock will get a dose. Does anyone know anything about Clomid and bf? Or can point me in the direction of accurate up to date info on it?
I'm feeling a bit down, I don't think it's fair I should have to make a choice between bf ad having a 2nd child... I have needed some good news for a while and hoping today would be the day, but alas no.

Ill really try to do persies later, it's just so hard when on the tablet...hope all is well xo

Edit, sorry girls, that is stucha. Stupid thing to get all upset about in comparison to other people in here.

[juniper76]

Positively, I'm glad to hear your Dad doesn't have cancer, but sorry to hear he is still facing significant hardship to regain his health. I hope everything goes as well as possible.

Catyo, have you had tests done for clotting factors (ANA, APA, etc)? It's just a b/t, but they take about half a dozen vials...

TT40, personally - and I do mean this is my personal opinion, not a medical one - personally, I wouldn't take clomid while BF if there's any chance it gets into the milk. The last thing you want to do is mess with Spock's pituitary gland... On top of that, I had horrendous s/e from clomid (constant nausea, dizziness, headache and fatigue - it was debilitating) and wouldn't want to risk inflicting the same suffering on my young child, especially since the s/e can last for 6 weeks after taking the tablets...

[Miss.B]

Glad to hear it's not cancer with your dad Positively, sending lots of healing vibes for his further treatment and recovery x

TT40, sory I don't know anything about clomid, but sorry you have to chose

Amy, hoping big boobie veins is a good sign!

Emma, sorry to hear you had only one good embie. Hopefully it will stick.

Hello to everyone else.

AFM, CD1 for me today. As AF has come for me 3 days early, and I have had a good dose of stress the last few weeks (probably why it's early), I have decided to skip this cycle and do the FET in March. I feel a lot better about that, I am a walking stress ball ATM and I don't think my uterus would be a happy place for the embie at the moment. I will have DS's birthday around the time of transfer, so hopefully that will keep me distracted.

Hi girls,

I hope everyone is well, thanks for all the well wishes.

I had a bit of an eventful day today. I went to an event with my Nanna, Aunty and a friend up in the city. There were a heap of elderly people because.....Ok ill say it, we went to a massive bingo with 5000 people. We were in the underground train station waiting for the train and someone on the escalator (packed with people) decided they would try and rush to get on the train (it was going down). A lady fell and then about 13 people also fell/trampled her! Everyone was panicking and no one thought to press the emergency stop button a girl ended up jumping the rail and running up the stairs to press it. But by that time the damage was done. I woman had her leg completed stripped of skin from the ankle to the knee cap, another was unconscious, another had massive lacerations to her back and legs, another few to the face. It was an absolute blood bath I had to assist as much as possible (i'm trained as a first aid trainer from years ago). I didnt even think until it was over that I helped lift a few people and it wasnt the brightest idea but there were so many people injured

Also in other news I POAS this morning and it was a BFN as expected. I'm 5dp5dt, might try again tomorrow but not feeling very positive about this cycle

Sorry to be such a downer!

[myturn]

Oh my Amy! How scary! I'm sure it wouldn't impact on implantation xox

crossing everything for you and everyone xox still can't believe I've left this thread

sneaking out again xox......
