Hi Bel,
You do sound down honey - a big :hug: to you. It's such an emotional roller coaster - especially when we find out friends are pregnant. We found out tonight one of my friends is pregnant - and I'm really happy for her, but at the same time 'what about me!!'.
Take care of yourself,
Kate
:hug:thinking of all you girls and hope everything works out well for you all

Janie xxx
Paula :goodluck2: for today sweetie
Everyone I will catch up soon hope you are all well
Me:
DH's Mum passed away on Friday so he has to go back to Vic for a few days. No real symtoms for me expect being really teary but that could be a reaction to DH's Mum and that DH is going away too :rolleyes: We are half way through the TWW today and will have had BT by this time next week
Hi everyone,
Feeling a bit low today. We had our third scan and blood test today and my follicles are not doing well - only one is at 15, the others are 9 and haven't done much in the last few days. So feeling rather glum, confused and angry. I never even considered that my follicles would not respond well to the FSH...am taking today off work to regroup.:wall:
Sorry for the selfish post :redface:
Hope you are all going well with lots of :pink-babydust:
Kate try a heat pack on for 20 mins a few times a day worked for me once
Bel you poor thing. Work and IVF sounds quite hectic. Im sure everything will work itself out.
Smithy 5 month break? Wow. I hope you enjoy it though and that you make the most of no meds etc and just really enjoy lots of time with your DH.
TL so sad to hear about your mother in law. Not long now till you test. You are officially in the OneWeekWait..hehe.
Kate its so hard emotionally when our body doesnt seem to be doing what it should. So sorry :hug:
Well had my transfer today and had a wonderful looking blastocyst transfered. They will ring me tomorrow to let me know how many they will be freezing as some of the embies havent quite reached the blasty stage so they are going to let them grow a little bit more over night. Hopefully i get a few that are good enough to freeze.
Both yesterday and today i have been feeling really good. No bloating or pains so it looks like OHSS didnt kick in too hard. The Dr did tell me today though that if i get pregnant it can spark it off and could still get bad so i just have to stick to my new best friend, my water bottle and hope for the best.
Oh and i also had another acupuncture session today and it went well.
Hi Paula and TL,
Here's hoping for your little emby Paula!:pray:
I'm feeling a bit better this afternoon - took my fur kids to the dog park and just enjoyed being outside. I'm not feeling too hopeful about this cycle - I know that there is still a chance, but given I am day 12 and most egg collections are between days 10 and 15, and there are only two follies at 15 - the rest not really doing anything...well - just don't want to be disappointed more than I am.
Not a good day today, but I am so grateful to you all,
Hi Ladies,
We finally made it! Just got back from clinic & got they're happy with the BT results. We start the injections tomorrow & 1st scan next Monday. So far no side effects - YAY(except for the tears yesterday).They've changed me over to Gonel-f & pregnyl & they'll be doing polscope this time as there was problems with the quality of the embies before. Hopefully this time I won't see OHSS & we'll get to transfer. (I know, lots of water)
Paula /TC - Congrats on getting this far. Hope there's more twitches over the coming weeks.
Smithy - Hope you're able to enjoy your time off with DH.
Kate - How was your day off? Hope you got a chance to relax and re-coup.
Bel - I fully understand the work thing. Just remember to find time for yourself. I know, easier said than done!
Anyway, wishing everyone :goodluck2: & :bluedust: Sorry if I've missed anyone!
LL
Paula - sounds like all going like clockwork this time. Hoping that you get lots of frosties but no need for them for a long time to come
TL - sorry about your MIL. Hope you can get through the next week without to much stress
KateB - So sorry your follies are not behaving. I understand the frustration. Are they adjusting your dose or anything?
Lou - yay at getting started. Hope this is the cycle that brings you success
AFM - BT due on wed and feling good this time. Had a scare on sat with lots of heavy cramping but that has eased and nausea increasing. Praying I can stay in this game for another 9mths!
hey everyone - thought I'd come by and say hi, give hugs, and shower some :pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesbo y: in here!
name buddy - i hope and pray this is it for you sweet - best of everything i can muster (GL with ur bubsicles too!)

Meridith :hug: goodluck sweetie hopefully this is a 9 month game for you

kate:BIG HUGS
bel:big hugs!
tl: big big hugs
paula: hope you don't get ohsshugs
izzylou:good luck this cycle
everyone elseBIG BIG HUGS.
looks like we need it in here at the moment
afm: got acu on thur and can't wait, just so busy.
Just a quick post to let you all know that out of 19 eggs, 10 mature and 9 fertilised i only got 1 blasty. No other embie made it to blasty stage so none for the freezer. Im really upset with that. I wanted at least one frozen one for later on down the track but what can you do. It just make this little one inside me so much more special. Grow little one, grow!
I just dont understand how i can get one really good quality blasty but then no others. It just doesnt make sense!!
Paula it onlt takes the right one sweet may you already have it
paula: extra extra big hugs for you. as tl said it only takes one and it sounds like a good one. please stick little bub.
Paula - So sorry no frosties, I can understand why you are upset. A good friend of mine had similar cycle. Out of 9 embies and one transfered, no others to freeze, Her FS said it was actually quite common when going to blastie stage.Some embies just aren't strong enough to make it outside of the body. Praying this little one sticks for you. It is obviously a very special one.
TL - oooh, those symptoms sound very promising. Less than a week to go!!
AFM -Well, I gave in to my POAS urge this morning and I am (very quietly) announcing a BFP!!
Second line was actually darker than control so no doubting the result. I still won't feel defnite about it, though, until BT tomorrow. I am overjoyed, of course, but sadly, can't really feel excited for a long time - when I know if this baby is going to make it. This is my 5th pregnancy but I only have one gorgeous child so my odds have not been great so far. Crossing everything there will be a few more of you joining in the next rollercoaster ride with me very soon.
Meridith I am so happy for you this is one 9 month ride sweetie that will end in a bubb for you I am sure :hug:
Thankyou all for the support :grouphug:
Congratulations MeridithD..
I hope the next 9 months will be happy and healthy with a gorgeous little bub at the end for you..
Dee
Congratulations Meredith! It sounds so positive and I am very excited for you.
Janie, good luck 2morrow. I've got a very good vibe about you and that bub.
Paula, hope you are not too despondent. I know blast have a 50% chance of pg. 2 times more than even in natural pg....
To all, I hope you are doing well. I am still getting use to who is who on this forum....
AFM, I am waiting for my AF to arrive so I can start a FET. My cycle is pretty regular so I am counting it to arrive in mid August. But then again, in my last stimulated cycle, it delayed my AF and I had a 46 day cycle which freaked me out.
Just a quick post for me ladies...
Paula, congrats on blasty :dance: but am sorry to hear none were able to freeze but as know it only takes one..
Meredith, congrats on a BFP. I remember reading about your two little ones and am :pray:ing like mad you won't be disappointed.
AFM, am still waiting on FS to call me back with our next step. He only got back from his conference on Monday and don't want to be pushy...BUT i'm at day 20 today and need to have a plan.
Maybe I might call him again tomorrow.
To everyone else big :grouphug: and lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust: to this thread
meredith - congrats on e BFP.....pls pls pass e baby dust to me
tl - dats sound so +ve, :crossfingers:
paula - dat 1 can be e LUCKY 1, e survivor
me - POAS jus now....BFN, taking pills later so tt e wicked witch will make its FINAL comeback.
Marsha :welcome: Back
Nic: Hope you get that call today
Kahlan: Good Luck
Me:
Almost threw up filling the car this morning so maybe should take this as a good sign. 5 days now till our BT. And it is DH's Mum's Furneral today wish I could be there to support him.
Reminder to all the Brissie GC SC and surrounds our meetup is this weekend if you want to join in
Hi everyone,
I'm not quite sure how to say this as it feels so foreign, but my BT came back and it is a BFP! Nurse said that my levels are really good (with 100 being considered pregnant) my hcg is at 480.
I hope that my luck rubs off on all of you and that we see lots of BFP's soon. I really could not have coped with this journey without each and every one of you, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
:pray: that this little on sticks.
Janie xxx
Well done again sweet!!!!
Congrats Janie :happyforyou:
Hi everyone - congratulations Janie! This is fantastic news!
AFM - not so good. We had our first IVF cycle cancelled today as the medications and all have done nothing - we don't even have one follicle anywhere near what they need to be. Apparently my blood work showed 0.3 today which is the same as the first blood test over a week ago...I have no idea what that all means. I am going through the range of emotions - angry, sad, guilty, hopeful, then angry again. I can't understand why this has happened. I've booked in for counselling in the next week.
oh yay jnie well done hunny a huge congrats to you and dh
:happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou:
Kate, I'm sorry to hear that your cycle has been cancelled.
I went to counselling on Monday and found it comforting
Take care of yourself and I hope your FS can shed some light on your results :hug:
Kate :hug: sweetie you will get some answers over the next few days I hope
Wow, everyone has been so busy in here, been away from the computer for a few weeks and can't keep up!
TL, know how hard it can be with DH away, my father in law passed away after a long illness just after we got the BFN, and DH is down in Vic now packing up the house - tough trip... but sometimes i wonder if life is just telling us to slow down and smell the roses.. good luck in the rest of the OWW
Janie, so happy to hear your BFP, we all need some :pink-babydust: around here! keep on looking after that little one so you have a beautiful bundle of joy at the end
paula, totally understand your sadness and frustration, after my ET they cultured the other 3 embies to day 5 but none made it
AFM - back on the rollercoaster, into my second week of stim cycle and seeing FS on friday. had some killer headaches from the synarel, trying to drink more but its so hard to keep it going. Finding that i'm much more of a wuss with injections this time round, keep leaving track marks and bruises behind so i'm glad its winter to hide them!
big :hug: to everyone
will see the Brissy girls at the meetup, yay!
Thanks girls! You all do brighten my day - and I'm feeling more positive tonight thanks mainly to my darling hubby (he didn't even bat an eyelid when I threw a box of tissues across the room!! :redface:)
Anyways - I just can't help smiling at Janie's news! It is so awesome and so much :pink-babydust: heading that way!
And Meredith - hope you're going well too!
Are there any of you down here in freezing Adelaide? It could be great to catch up for a coffee like the Brissy girls are doing perhaps. :dance:
Congrats Janie and Venus :clap:
Hopefully your luck would rub onto the rest of us.
Kate, I so sorry... cancelled cycle can be very heart breaking. When I had a cancelled FET cycle I was very angry cos it's like you haven't started the race and your out.. but then I still know I don't have to be tormented by the 2 WW and just have to go through the grieving process and then pick myself up and start again... lots of hugs from us all:hug::hug::hug:
Kahlan
Kate - so, so sorry about your cycle being cancelled. I can well understand your devestation. Did your nurse shed any light? When do you talk with FS again?
Nicole - hope FS calls you very soon. Its always better to have a plan in place- help have a goal to focus on
Janie - congrats again. May we stick out the next 8mths together!
TL - you will hopefully join us next week. Symptoms all sound good!
AFM - well BT today confirmed my BFP! HCG at 1000 (14dpo) so happy with that although still doesn't fill me with huge confidence. My levels have been good before and not led to live baby. However, i am making a pact with myself to stay positive. I do feel very blessed to have gotten a BFP.
I truly hope that many more come out of this thread in the coming weeks.
lotsa :bluedust::pink-babydust: dis july...:hooray:
now i cant wait to start my cycle.
Janie - :happyforyou:
kate - :hug:
:bluedust: to everyone and a :hug:
Meridith - I hope I join you too next week and our bubs can play together :)
Kate - Your are welcome and I am thinking of you :hug:
Me 4 sleeps to go tugging sympotoms still there and a dull ache as well hope my baby tigger is safe and ok :pray:
Kate- so sorry your cycle has been cancelled. It sure is an up and down road and I can relate to all the emotions you expressed! I have had counselling in the past and it is helpful to talk.
to the girls with BFPs! I posted in the TWW thread but once again...woohoo! congrats! :dance:
to everyone else mid cycle...good luck and I hope things are progressing well. :) Sorry no time for more personals today.
as for me...taking a break...a last minute holiday skiing in NZ very soon- yay. we need to breathe and regroup and come home and try again with our frostie.
Meredith:GREAT NEWS, BFP!!

4 weeks and counting down!!:clap:
Hiya Girls
Well i went to see FS on monday and im proud to say he called me an enigma :p, he has never seen someone's eostrogen levels drop on an IVF cycle so he's putting me on synarel and gonal-f. Started on provera again but 80mg which has made me feel quite ill this time it was only 20mg last time. Will finish in 2 days and just wait for AF to arrive to start over.
So happy to see that July has been a good month for some of you, for those of us who didnt have as much luck big hugs :hug: but remember this time as never ending as it may seem right now is really only a small part of our life and look at the joy it can bring. Stay positive. Talk soon
Bee (24) DH(30)
1st IVF/ICSI cancelled
Bee so gald for you to get answers
Janet good news on the FET
Possums :hug: enjoy your break
Me: 3 sleeps to go to BT feeling quitely ok but still checking for AF and feeling every twinge and wondering what was that? I have passed my 10 day post transfer mark which I have not made before.
