Thanks for your comments Sushee, and I hope my perspective is interesting to you guys and also to your blokes if they are reading.
Lou, sorry, I wasn't aware you were having any difficulties of the OHSS or friend variety. Hope you pull through it quickly. We got the OHSS talk today too - DW is pretty small and they are a bit concerned about giving her too much in the way of drugs. It's certain complicated.
Diva, from our chat the other night I have got a fair idea where you are located and know exactly what you are saying, not just about that place but small towns/areas in general. It's very hard to keep things quiet. The other clinic here besides SIVF employs one of our old school friends as a scientist. We even used to share a house!

Rols - i'm with everyone else and wanted to thank you for popping the male perspective in here - my DH has been involved in every step of the journey with me (thankfully) and actually copped some nasty feedback from his boss for not just "making her go to appointments on her own" - it was about the same time you joined BB - and as much as he'd never sign up for a forum (or turn on the computer LOL!) - he appreciates hearing some of your comments about how things are going cos it shows him that it's ok to want to be a part of it all! so thankyou - i know he's felt a little left out at times (heheh i'm brave enough to give myself the needles), but he does take an interest, and knowing you're on here has helped him heaps
Sushee - i'm so very very envious - i wouldn't care if my 12 days off was just a couple of hundred km's away from everything - egypt sounds like fun! enjoy your holiday!
Lou hun - i'm glad you've decided to resurface - have been thinking of you heaps hun. hoping the OHSS isn't giving you too much grief - lots of water/gatorade/powerade is a must (and if you don't, i'll have to drive to melbourne and kick your butt for not taking care of yourself!). i'm hoping you're able to go to transfer tomorrow, but i also know our DFS won't push the limits - and you might be better off waiting. from what i recall, BW felt a whole lot better after her AF and was much better able to deal with the FET when it came around (and look at her spectacular result!)
to everyone else - hope you're all having a great day - will pop back in later to try and catch up some more
-
Thanks BG. I'm really pleased that your bloke has found some stuff I've said to be useful. From what you've described of him, I reckon we'd get on pretty well.

A Big WoooHooo!! Lou is back!!!
We have missed sharing our travels with you and hope that you can stay out of the closet (so to speak) for a long time.
OHSS - bummer, but you can still be hugely proud of your efforts this month. You have a whole footy team and a bench of reserves too!! I had really hoped you would get your tf this week, but no point if the OHSS is going to mess things up. You are super strong and patient...i'm sure you will not go too crazy while you wait to get better!
On a selfish note - look at me - i'm gorgeous!!...and DH is a spunk too...:p We are going to make cute babies!!
-
hey jo ive been pming you all day!!!dont get me worried again please
-
very nice look Jo!! was the first thing i noticed about your post!!
Rols - i think you and my fella would get along really well!
-
Thanks guys...i'm normally quite shy :redface:
Let's just say if anyone goes to MIVF and sees someone with a pale blue scarf and curly hair and glasses...it might just be me :p
Glad to see a relaxed BG. I am off to read all the journals now... it's hard to catch up these days.
:hello:
Jo

Good luck sonya
Take care all.
-
well made the fateful call.
only to be told my transfer isnt booked until 2.30pm so they wont thaw any until morning and to ring between 10.30-11am.
grrrrr!
im sooo tired from lack of sleep and worry. and now i have another 19 hours to go!!! gawd i hope there is a strong embie in there! oh well off to take some panadol and lay down, i feel *****hhouse.
-
sonya hun - that just sucks - i'm so sorry you've been stressing so much only to be told to wait AGAIN! hoping you can get a good night sleep (maybe the exhaustion will help!)
take care hun
-
wow so much to catch up on i am sooo busy at the momant and i go away on the 17th July only 7 sleeps heheh
Rols- Best of luck - how exciting so do you know the approx date of the transfer?
Im glad your wife feels a little better now seeing all the needles etc, send her my best
Everyone else-sorry i am just not caught up i hope its all going well xoxoxox
-
OOOH, poor sonya!
Waiting is a nasty place to be, but stay confident...I'm sure the very first one will thaw just fine! All toes are crossed (fingers crossed makes it hard to type)
-
aw c'mon jo - you can still type with fingers crossed!
we might not understand it, but you can give it a try...!
-
sonya - hun i hope everything goes ok for you tomorrow
TL - where are you and how are you going ??have you had TF yet?
Just called NP and she said it would be best if i didnt have Tf, but will have to wait for tomorrow
-
Hi Everyone,
Rols - Thanks so much for your info. Your encouragement warms me. Your FS is pretty spot on! Comparing my last IVF & this one, the ratio is absolutely correct.
I agree with your vibe, the focus is directed at the woman and it should be equally shared. I changed this for us in our clinic. DH has total control over the situation, cycles etc. I'm just the brooding hen hehehe. I may sound very "unfeminist" , I dont care, without him, this journey would not be happening. DH confirms the appointments, calls the nurses when we need to, decides on how many embies go back in (yes I disagreed this time - scared), reminds me of needles, creams, sprays etc. No, he does not feed me nor take me to the bathroom or for walkies. Its not that I want him doing it all & bustin' his chops for me, its that I know he so wants to be a huge part of this & he should. The nurses call DH for everything; results, scan appt, etc. This does benefit me in the fact that I need not worry about half the stuff that is going on, I just turn up & can enjoy the trip. DH has huge shoulders & Im leanin' on em'. Usually the only times I have been called is from the Scientists & Day Surgery.
We share this trip equally. Its hard work for us & if the load can be shared, pass me the dumptruck cos mines full!
Im excited your journey has formally begun & moving quickly. Congrats!! Hope your week at work is better than the last one & DW is not anxious about the needles, just excited.
Take Care
Tracey
PS. I type faster than I can think so I guess thats why I write, write, write. Hope its not toooooo long winded.

Hi Again,
Is anyone sick of seeing my name here? Maybe I have too much time on my hands whilst I sit here waiting & waiting & waiting.
Sonya - The dreaded call!!! Big hugs to you and DH for encouragement to get thru the night. The anxiety of it all. Maybe you need some of those Krispy Kreme's & Hot Chocky the girls had last week! Mmmmm comfort food!!! If I had any, I would surely put them in this thread for you! Things still look good for you, its just time delayed. I know its painful but your still having your transfer!! Embies will be fine, Im believing for it!
Loula - Welcome Home Honey! I hope everything settles down with your OHSS and that you are getting better every day. Your nurse said "better you didnt have the transfer". Does that mean its ok if you do? Im looking for that green light "go ahead" for you tomorrow but your health is the most important right now. Hopefully your levels drop & everything is back on schedule. With 28 Embies, honey, you are going to need all the energy you have to raise all those tots!!!
Me - Transfer tomorrow at 12.30. As Sonya said may happen, my little embies caught up to the good ones (she's precious). I now have 5 at Morula stage & tomorrow we are hoping for 5 at blastie. FS is coming in "special" to do the transfer so Im feeling quite confident. I had trouble with the last transfer that someone else did. DH wanted 2 transferred this time but I didnt want to risk it so we're getting one.
Then guess what we do........................................Surprise ...... We wait again!!
Thinking of you all at your different stages.
Tracey

-

damn, i hate living so far from anywhere! no special treats:(
