Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Emma, synarel sometimes made AF late for me, but never stopped her arriving... I was told AF could be delayed by as much as a week, but out of the 4 cycles I used it, AF was only delayed once and only by 2 days.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Thanks girl!
Juniper you have me thinking who you are on the fb group now
Catyo - thanks for adding me to the list but im CD2 today so when you update tomorrow morning can you please put me as CD3? xx
Apologies but someone asked about BUPA being difficult and yes I think that is what they are doing. My FS dont charge huge fee's compared to other clinics and I think Bupa just dont want to part with the cash
AFM - Went and collected the meds this afternoon after a whirlwind of a day! Had my first injection tonight and then they will be morning from now on. I have been put on Gonel F this time, i've only ever had Puregon for stims so not sure if there is any difference. My dose is 300 this time which is quite high considering my last 2 stims and even with those they still retrieved 11 eggs on time and 9 the other. It's just dawned on me that if they do the double embryo transfer and both take then I would have 3 kids under 2, holy hell!!!
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Good luck with your cycle Amy! Very exciting hun, why are my cycles so boring, ie no rushing off to get meds like a mad hatter? lol. Hope you get lots of lovely embies
Positively, well done hun. It's not easy, but hopefully the baby vibes/dust/whatever rubs off on you. Mum is convinced my SIL is pg, just waiting for confirmation, but I don't wanna know!!
Sgronan, well done on 11 eggies and GL in your cycle
Joski and Rai, sorry AF arrived
Emma, GL hun!
AFM, CD6 for me, off to see FS in 2 weeks time and also seeing my nurse about that FET cycle....one little embie left. FX this one is the one
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Thanks ladies....
I took my last pill 2 days ago, and was just wondering when I should expect my period..... It's been 10 years since I was last on the pill!
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Amy, probably not too hard to guess since we have a friend in common. I don't check in much there, just read whatever shows up in my newsfeed, so it was just luck that I saw yours...
Afm, weird things happening with the OPKs... The IC was as dark as they normally get for a +OPK (for me - I've never had a true positive with them), so I was freaking out a little at the idea of O'ing so early in my cycle, but the digi was very, very definitely negative (barely a second line on it when I popped it out). Haven't had this happen before, so now not confident I can rely on the ICs alone (that was my last digi that I used today and they take a while to arrive when you buy them on ebay). Not even sure if we'll TTC given the issues between DH and I, but if nothing else, I want to know when I O so I know when to expect AF...

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
really quick question, What day do I start my injectables for iui? I got my meds on Friday but DS3 was with me and I forgot
to ask what day to start, do I start today CD2 or tomorrow CD3? PLEASE HELP. THANKS XXXX
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Sneaking in... Amy_jb so excited for you!! And I just have to say (to put a huge smile on your face and make your eyes resemble saucers) given our shared FS's 'success rates' have you considered triplets??
If you do decide to put 2 back and both take... One (or even both) may divide so that you end up with a set of identical twins and a third baby or whoa.... Wait for it... Two sets of identical twins (quads!!
Strayer things have happened! Seriously though... I think these are the thoughts that are stopping me doing a FET this cycle... We will definitely only put one back, same as last time... But I keep dreaming of identical twin boys!! now I'm sure this is just because the one thing I am petrified of is another set of twins! So it's got to be psychosomatic...
BUT I was reading up on twins and IVF the other night and the article I was reading said Clomid increased the chance of identical twins even if you only transfer one embie. I've never taken Clomid before eg on our one and only FET - but as the clinic have given me Clomid for when we do decide to do a FET I'm a little bit paranoid that it may happen again!
I can totally understand why people decide to transfer two embies, especially after lttc for months and years but having had twins from a single embie transfer, as much as we adore the girls, wouldn't change a single thing and feel absolutely and completely blessed - I just know we couldn't do twins again!
That said I know if it happened we would feel blessed and would manage And I know you would be a brilliant twin mummy if it happened to you...

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Hello hello to one and all,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. So much to catch up on...
Joski & Rai, so sorry to hear AF arrived. Joski, I hope you have an amazing and refreshing trip in Bali.
Amy good luck with your stimulated cycle for you x Also, DH and I are insured with BUPA, I certainly hope they don't give us a hard time about the costs. Has the issue been resolved between your clinic and BUPA? I had no idea an insurer could simply refuse a claim because your clinic is difficult, especially as you are paying for the cover.
Positively, such a thoughtful gift for your SIL. Stay strong and positive xx
Miss.B, for you that this 1 little embryo left is THE ONE.
AFM, ET on Friday went well. I almost cried when I saw the embryo on the screen. Hormones are super awesome . Also, FS told me that of our 11 eggs, 7 fertilised [ICSI] and were growing well. 1 is now hopefully attaching itself to my uterus. FS said she was going to leave the others to go to Day 5 and then decide which to freeze. So she will call me today with the number. Surely, I am going to have 2 to freeze. Surely! Side effects of the Crinone gel starting to be felt, breasts are tender and I am mildly constipated. TMI?
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Hello & Happy Monday Ladies hope you all had a lovely weekend
Miss B - GL with your FET, praying that last little embie is a strong and sticky one. Just looked at your CD and you are a week behind me (im CD 15) and we are also going to be doing a FET cycle in Feb and it's our last little embie too so fingers crossed we both have some great news as Willi & Sarah did this month
Juniper - Hope you get back on track with TTC, not sure what you and DH are going through but I am sure whatever it is it's just a minor bump in the road and things will improve for you. All the best!!
Joski - Have a lovely break in Bali
Sgronan - Fabulous news news re the 7 fertilized eggs and I agree you should have at least 2 to freeze. Baby dust to you hope that little embie is a sticky one
Amy - I agree with Sgronan how can BUPA just refuse, it is your insurance and if they say they will cover certain procedures etc how can they reneg just because they don't/can't agree with the FC
If BUPA still refuse to come to the party I would look further in to it and see where you stand, you are paying for the cover they should cover you GL
Has anyone heard from N2L? just wondered how she is going, TWW is almost over, yay
AFM - Nothing to report really I know I O'd yesterday so we made sure we got plenty in but I can't help but think "why do we bother" it just doesn't seem to happen naturally
Did see SIL yesterday and she is seriously popping out already even though she is only 13 weeks today, seeing her went better than I expected which was good, have to confess I still feel envious but I am trying to control that.
Baby dust to all and GL with wherever you are at in your cycle xx

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Morning Ladies, Happy Tuesday!
Just wanted to wish you all a lovely day
N2L, thinking of you hope your TWW is flying by and hoping and praying you have some good news for us
Caty, I have replied to your message, thanks hun. I just realised we are exactly the same CD
Sgronan, i know you are only 3 days in but I hope you are well and that little sticky embie is now well and truly stuck & nice and snug inside for the 9 month haul
AFM - I'm heading up to Broome this arvo for 6 nights, DH has to work I am going to chill and enjoy the sights and sounds. Need to get myself psyched up for our FET next month
Quick question - how many of you have had your embie not survice the thaw? I see you have to pay for the full cycle regardless of whether the egg survices the thaw or not. Hoping the odds are good
Wishing you all a lovely day, baby dust to us all x
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception January 2014
Just want to say I have everything crossed for you miss b xox may this be your lucky last :-)
And good luck N2L, Catyo, sgronan lets have a bfp trend now!
Guess I really have graduated girls! I got my second BT yesterday and they have gone up to hcg 951!!
I will miss you all xxxx I leave you with lots of baby dust and best wishes. I will be friendly stalking lol
